"Trombe and Battles" (トロンベ討伐, Toronbe Toubatsu) is the twenty-fifth episode of the Ascendance of a Bookworm anime series, and the eleventh episode of Season 2. It originally aired on June 14, 2020.

Summary
Shikikoza dismisses Myne's prayer as folly, but Damuel comforts her by claiming that her prayer will aid in the battle. The knights begin their assault on the trombe, using mana-infused weapons to inflict heavy damage. As the battle turns in the knight's favor, Damuel explains how the weapons work, as well as hints at Ferdinand's past within the Knights' Order.

Upon victory, Shikikoza remarks about Myne's plebeian status before ultimately attempting to maim her as a lesson for plebeians to know their place below nobles. Myne attempts to call for help, but is cut by Shikikoza's blade, causing her to bleed. Upon her blood hitting the ground, a trombe grows in its exact spot and wraps itself around Myne.

Ferdinand arrives, but is unable to cut the trombe down while Myne's wound is open. He closes it and has the rest of the knights chop down the monster without harming Myne. An open interrogation occurs to figure out what happened, and when it seems like Shikza is about to get away with his actions due to his higher nobility, Ferdinand chimes in as the highest ranking noble and reprimands the entire Order, including Karstedt. As they fly to the center of the Trombe's crater, Ferdinand reminds Myne of her importance and that she should learn to treat herself accordingly.
