Introduction

<Heavy Knight>--

This is a class specialized in defense, drawing enemy attacks to protect allies.

However, compared to other defensive classes, its performance is inflexible, and its low attack power makes it difficult to level up.

Therefore--it was called a "flawed" class, beyond just being unfortunate.

Elma, born into the Edvan Count family, a lineage of <Sword Saints>, manifested the <Heavy Knight> class, known as "flawed," during the important ritual of <Blessing Ceremony> as the successor, was stripped of her position as the next head, and unjustly exiled.

However, at that time, she regained her memories from her past life and realized that this world was exactly the same as the VR-compatible online game <Magic World> she had played extensively in her previous life.

And Elma knew. The <Heavy Knight> was the strongest class...!

Exiled from her count family and becoming a lone adventurer, Elma began to efficiently conquer this world, making full use of her knowledge from her past life.
