**[00:16] Rick**
I-I'm gonna die.
**[00:23] Broughston**
Yes, he's shaped up very well
over these last two years.
**[00:27] Alicerette**
This "E-rank test" thing shouldn't
be a problem now, right?
**[00:32] Mizett**
I'm actually more worried that
he might destroy the arena.
**[00:44] Rick**
I'm still far from measuring
up to all of you.

*Chase your dreams while you're young.*
**[02:24] narrator**
*That's what everyone thinks.*
**[02:27] narrator**
* Especially adventurers, whose bodies*
* are their tools of the trade.*
**[02:31] narrator**
* And yet, there must be adults out there*
* who just can't give up on their dreams.*
**[02:39] receptionist A**
Entrants for the E-rank promotion test,
please register here.
**[02:43] receptionist B**
Please present your Guild ID.
**[02:45] adventurer**
Here.
**[02:48] Alisa**
This is your admission ticket for the test.
**[02:50] Alisa**
Best of luck.
**[02:51] No. 4241**
Thank you!
**[02:54] Rick**
If you would, please.
**[02:55] Alisa**
Of course! This is... Oh.
**[02:59] Alisa**
Senpai? You're Rick-senpai, aren't you?
**[03:03] Alisa**
It's me, Alisa!
**[03:05] Rick**
Oh. It's been two years, hasn't it?
**[03:08] Rick**
So, you've been transferred to Central?
**[03:10] Alisa**
That's right. I was so surprised back then.
**[03:14] Alisa**
You quit so suddenly.
**[03:16] (Flashback) Rick**
I'm quitting.
**[03:17] (Flashback) manager; Alisa**
What?
**[03:19] Alisa**
And I was even more surprised when
I heard that you'd become an adventurer!
**[03:24] Rick**
Yeah. Starting off as an adventurer
when you're thirty is pretty unthinkable.
**[03:30] Rick**
Normally, people start as F-rank
apprentices in their teens.
**[03:34] Rick**
Then they become novice E-rank
adventurers within two years of that.
**[03:38] Alisa**
Well, yeah...
**[03:40] Alisa**
I was wondering, Senpai.
**[03:42] Alisa**
What have you been doing
these last two years?
**[03:45] Rick**
You could say that I was
holed up in the mountains.
**[03:48] Rick**
I was training with
some senior adventurers.
**[03:50] Domuld**
Hey, missy! You free right now?
**[03:54] Alisa**
Um, no, I'm working right now.
**[03:57] Domuld**
Who cares about work?
**[04:00] Domuld**
I'll make sure you have a good time.
**[04:03] Alisa**
Sir, this isn't really appropriate.
**[04:04] Domuld**
Quit making excuses!
**[04:05] Alisa**
Ow!
**[04:06] Domuld**
Women should just shut up and listen!
**[04:10] Rick**
Now, now.
**[04:11] Domuld**
Huh? And who are you?
**[04:13] Rick**
Now, calm down for a moment.
**[04:16] Alisa**
I'm sorry, Senpai.
**[04:18] Rick**
It's all right. I'm used to this
from when I worked as a Guild clerk.
**[04:23] adventurer; male**
What's that?
**[04:25] adventurer; female**
What's all the commotion?
**[04:26] Alisa**
Senpai?
**[04:28] Rick**
He's probably had too much to drink.
**[04:30] Rick**
Life lesson! Drink responsibly!
**[04:34] Rick**
Yes, yes.
**[04:37] Alisa**
Oh, right! Your exam ticket.
**[04:40] Alisa**
Here you are. Good luck on the E-rank test.
**[04:43] Rick**
Thank you.
**[04:44] Rick**
So, I'm number 4242, huh?
**[04:49] Rick**
* An unlucky number that sounds like death!*
* Now I'm worried.*
**[04:55] Reanette**
Did you finish registering?
**[04:57] Rick**
Yes. Sorry to keep you waiting, Reanette.
**[05:00] Reanette**
Rick-sama.
**[05:02] Rick**
Um... The kids in there
are all shining so brightly.
**[05:07] Rick**
They're full of hopes and dreams,
believe they can be whatever they want.
**[05:11] Reanette**
Is that why you were looking at my chest?
**[05:15] Rick**
You're imagining things.
**[05:17] examinee; male**
Whoa! What is this?
**[05:19] examinee; female**
This is steel armor, isn't it?
**[05:22] guard A**
Hey, that guy!
**[05:24] guard A**
It's Domuld!
**[05:25] guard A**
A former A-rank adventurer
who's wanted for assault!
**[05:28] guard B**
You mean Domuld, the Fiendish Knight?
**[05:31] Alisa**
It can't be.
**[05:35] Alisa**
*Senpai did that?*
**[05:38] medical inspector A**
Let's see. One hundred and
seventy-four centimeters.
**[05:42] medical inspector B**
Number 4242, 174 centimeters.
**[05:46] medical inspector B**
Huh? Thirty-two years old?
**[05:52] medical inspector C**
Now, if you could each in turn place
your hands on this crystal, please.
**[05:56] medical inspector C**
The light will allow us to measure the
amount of magical energy you have.
**[06:01] medical inspector C**
D plus.
**[06:03] medical inspector C**
D minus.
**[06:06] medical inspector C**
C plus.
**[06:17] medical inspector C**
F minus.
**[06:18] No. 4245**
That old guy's an F minus?
**[06:21] No. 4243**
I've never seen anyone
score that low before.
**[06:24] No. 4244**
I hope I don't end up like that.
**[06:26] medical inspector C**
Then, if the next—
**[06:28] medical inspector C**
What?
**[06:30] examiner A**
Please direct all of your strength
into a single blow here.
**[06:33] examiner A**
We will measure the force of that blow.
**[06:35] examiner A**
It has the capacity to
absorb powerful attacks,
**[06:38] examiner A**
so don't hold back.
**[06:40] Rick; internal**
*A slime bag, huh?*
**[06:44] (Flashback) Broughston**
No matter what weapon
or magic you might use,
**[06:46] (Flashback) Broughston**
the foundation of everything
will be your own body.
**[06:49] (Flashback) Broughston**
If you can destroy this golden
slime bag with your bare hands,
**[06:53] (Flashback) Broughston**
then you'll know that you've
built a body you can trust.
**[06:57] (Flashback) Rick**
Wait, a golden one?
**[06:59] (Flashback) Rick**
I can't possibly destroy something that's as
strong as dragon's teeth with my bare hands.
**[07:04] (Flashback) Broughston**
This is elementary for an adventurer.
**[07:06] (Flashback) Broughston**
In case you're wondering, I...
**[07:09] (Flashback) Broughston**
can destroy two hundred at once.
**[07:12] (Flashback) Broughston**
Now, you'll start with fifty
thousand punches a day!
**[07:18] Rick; internal**
*That was hell.*
**[07:21] examiner A**
Now, Number 4236, step forward.
**[07:24] No. 4236**
All right!
**[07:28] examiner; older man**
Strengthening magic, is it?
**[07:31] examiner; older man**
Not bad.
**[07:32] examiner A**
Next, Number 4237.
**[07:37] Freed**
The time to show my strength...
**[07:41] Freed**
has finally come.
**[07:43] No. 4239**
So that's the second son of a
duke everyone's talking about.
**[07:46] No. 4236**
He's only 11 years old, but they say
he has magic equivalent to C-rank.
**[07:50] No. 4244**
He's truly a child prodigy.
**[07:52] Freed**
Well, here I go!
**[07:56] Freed**
Flames of hell, your heat shall return
all things in existence to ash!
**[08:04] Freed**
Level-Three Nature Composed
Magic, Flame Eliminate!
**[08:09] Rick**
It's tiny!
**[08:14] examinees**
Incredible!
**[08:15] Freed**
Well, I suppose that will do.
**[08:18] examiner; older man**
He really is a genius, isn't he?
**[08:21] Rick; internal**
*That's Level-Three Nature Composed blaze magic?*
**[08:27] (Flashback) Alicerette**
Okay, Rick-kun,
**[08:29] (Flashback) Alicerette**
here I go!
**[08:31] (Flashback) Alicerette**
There!
**[08:34] (Flashback) Rick**
Hot! Hot! Hot!
**[08:40] (Flashback) Rick**
I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!
**[08:43] Rick; internal**
* They're really different*
* for both being blaze magic.*
**[08:47] Rick; internal**
* Did he compress it so he*
* could use it indoors?*
**[08:49] Rick; internal**
*That's a child prodigy for you!*
**[08:55] Rick; internal**
* I see. Even a green one has an*
* impressive ability to absorb attacks.*
**[09:00] examiner A**
Next, Number 4242.
**[09:02] Rick**
Yes!
**[09:05] examiner; older man**
Hold on!
**[09:07] examiner; older man**
This says that you started as an adventurer
when you were 30. Is that true?
**[09:12] Rick**
Yes.
**[09:14] examiner; older man**
If you don't train your magic when you're
young, you can't expect any growth later.
**[09:19] examiner; older man**
And the results of your magic
capacity measurement are atrocious.
**[09:24] examiner; older man**
I'm saying this for your own good.
You should give up now.
**[09:31] Rick; internal**
*He's right.*
**[09:34] Rick; internal**
*But...*
**[09:41] (Flashback) Broughston**
You still have thirty
thousand punches remaining.
**[09:43] (Flashback) Broughston**
Do you want to quit?
**[09:46] (Flashback) Rick**
No, I'll do it.
**[09:49] (Flashback) Rick**
I can't stop here!
**[09:53] Rick; internal**
* It's true that I'm getting*
* a very late start.*
**[09:57] Rick; internal**
*But what's wrong with that?*
**[10:00] Rick; internal**
* Whatever age a person starts*
* as an adventurer...*
**[10:02] Rick; internal**
* Whatever age a person starts*
* doing something new...*
**[10:05] Rick; internal**
*it doesn't matter, does it?*
**[10:14] Rick**
Huh? Was it defective?
**[10:17] Freed; internal**
*Wh-Who is this guy?*
**[10:19] Freed; internal**
*He stole my thunder!*
**[10:25] Freed; internal**
* No matter. My real specialty*
* is defense magic.*
**[10:29] Freed; internal**
* When they measure our defensive ability,*
* I'll show him a thing or two.*
**[10:38] Freed**
E-Even I couldn't defend against that
Level-Four Nature Composed magic, and he...
**[10:47] magic examiner**
That was amazing, Number 4242.
**[10:50] Rick**
Thank you! I made sure to use defensive magic!
**[10:54] magic examiner**
That was Air Cushion, wasn't it?
That's a Level-One Nature Composed magic.
**[10:57] Rick**
Yes, sir.
**[10:59] magic examiner**
Th-Then, I'll go up a level and use
Level-Five Nature Composed magic next.
**[11:04] magic examiner**
I recommend using a higher order
of defense magic this time.
**[11:07] Rick**
Actually, I'm ashamed to admit this,
**[11:10] Rick**
but I can only use one each of the Level-One
Nature Composed magics in attack and defense.
**[11:15] magic examiner**
What? Even though you can control
your magic with such precision?
**[11:20] Rick**
Yes.
**[11:21] Rick**
But please don't worry!
I think I'll be all right.
**[11:25] magic examiner**
I see you underestimate me.
**[11:28] magic examiner**
Then, I will not hold back.
**[11:30] magic examiner**
O saints who gaze up at the ramparts.
**[11:33] magic examiner**
O soldiers who cling to the walls.
**[11:36] magic examiner**
Rush up and blow through,
like a gale from the south-southwest.
**[11:40] magic examiner**
Listen to the sound of waves
breaking down the walls!
**[11:43] magic examiner**
Level-Five Nature Composed
Magic, Shock Cyclone!
**[11:51] Freed**
Th-That can't be.
***SIGN*** Knights of the Realm, Knight First Class
Sylvester Ellsernia
**[11:59] Sylvester**
What was that?
**[12:03] Sylvester**
That huge noise wasn't something I'd
associate with a test. What's going on?
**[12:07] examiner B**
Oh, Sir Sylvester.
**[12:10] Sylvester**
I see.
**[12:11] Sylvester**
An F-rank adventurer destroyed a green
slime bag with a bare-fisted punch
**[12:16] Sylvester**
and then blocked a Level-Five Nature
Composed magic with a Level-One.
**[12:22] examiner B**
Yes.
**[12:23] Sylvester**
Is this some kind of joke that's
popular in the Guild right now?
**[12:27] examiner B**
It's this Number 4242.
**[12:31] Sylvester**
Rick Gladiatol, 32 years old.
**[12:36] Sylvester**
Thirty-two?
**[12:37] Sylvester**
Fourteen years as a receptionist at the
Guild's Tiger Road Cinquat branch.
**[12:42] instructor**
Begin!
**[12:45] Sylvester**
Receptionist...
**[12:48] Sylvester**
Is that a title awarded to someone
who has defeated a dragon?
**[12:52] examiner B**
I don't think so.
**[12:54] Sylvester**
No, I thought not.

**[13:06] Rick**
So that's the end of the preliminary test.
**[13:09] Reanette**
How was the written exam?
**[13:12] Rick**
I'm sure I got a perfect score!
**[13:14] Rick**
Don't underestimate a former office clerk.
**[13:16] Reanette**
You are a veteran with
14 years of experience.
**[13:19] Rick**
I wonder if I'll be able to
pass the preliminary test.
**[13:23] Reanette**
Are you concerned about
the practical tests?
**[13:25] Rick**
I think I did all right,
**[13:28] Rick**
but I got an F minus for magical capacity.
**[13:30] Reanette**
You will be fine.
**[13:32] Reanette**
You have shown incredible growth
over these last two years, have you not?
**[13:39] Rick**
The last two years, huh?
**[13:43] Freed**
You there, commoner!
**[13:45] Rick**
Oh, you're the prodigy from the test.
**[13:48] Rick**
Nu... Nu... Nu?
**[13:51] Freed**
It's Freed Diarmuit!
**[13:53] Freed**
There's no "nu" or any "n" sounds at all!
**[13:56] Rick**
What's wrong? Are you lost?
**[13:58] Rick**
You poor thing. I'll help
you find your parents.
**[14:02] Freed**
Don't make fun of me.
**[14:04] Freed**
I was going to show off
my genius in this test...
**[14:09] Freed**
and make a magnificent debut...
**[14:12] Rick**
You're crying?
**[14:13] Freed**
But you stood out more than I did!
**[14:16] Rick**
I didn't mean to!
**[14:19] Angelica**
You there!
**[14:21] Angelica**
You made Freed-chan cry?
**[14:23] Angelica**
You have some nerve!
**[14:27] Freed**
Oneesama!
**[14:29] Rick**
Um, are you this young man's older sister?
**[14:32] Angelica**
Indeed. I am Angelica.
**[14:34] Angelica**
I'm the eldest daughter
of the House of Diarmuit.
**[14:36] Freed**
That 40-ish-year-old
old man was bullying me!
**[14:40] Rick**
I'm still 30-ish!
**[14:43] Angelica**
There, there. What a horrible
40-ish-year-old man.
**[14:46] Rick**
I'm 30-ish!
**[14:47] Angelica**
Silence. My adorable Freed
is insisting it's so.
**[14:51] Angelica**
So, you must be in the wrong,
you 40-ish-year-old man.
**[14:53] Rick**
I said, I'm 30-ish!
**[14:55] Angelica**
All you have are excuses. How unseemly.
**[14:59] Angelica**
I challenge you to a duel!
**[15:02] Rick**
Seriously? Where did that come from?
**[15:06] Rick**
And you've gotten your glove dirty.
**[15:08] Rick**
A noble lady might not know this,
but washing clothes is a lot of work.
**[15:13] Reanette**
Rick-sama, wouldn't picking it up
indicate that you have agreed to the duel?
**[15:18] Rick**
Oh.
**[15:20] Angelica**
You picked it up, didn't you?
**[15:22] Angelica**
Prepare yourself!
**[15:23] Angelica**
I, knight second class of the Knights
of the Realm, Angelica Diarmuit,
**[15:27] Angelica**
will now mete out punishment to
this 40-ish-year-old peasant!
**[15:31] Rick**
This has turned into a big mess.
**[15:33] Angelica**
Each participant may propose
one condition for the duel.
**[15:37] Angelica**
That is how duels in the
Kingdom of Filheim work.
**[15:39] Angelica**
The condition I propose is that the loser
must act as the victor's servant until death.
**[15:46] Freed**
Get him, Angelica-oneesama!
**[15:49] Angelica**
Indeed, I shall punish him most thoroughly.
**[15:54] Rick**
Reanette, she said she's a knight
second class of the Knights of the Realm.
**[15:59] Reanette**
Yes. The Knights of the Realm act as protectors
of peace in the Kingdom of Filheim.
**[16:04] Reanette**
A knight second class would be the
same level as a B-rank adventurer.
**[16:08] Rick**
B-rank?!
**[16:10] Rick**
At B-rank, you can defeat high-level
monsters by yourself, right?!
**[16:14] Reanette**
Please go easy on her.
**[16:16] Rick**
No, no, no! I'm an F-rank who only
just registered as an adventurer!
**[16:22] Reanette**
Are you concerned?
**[16:22] Rick**
Concerned doesn't cover it! I'm scared
that I won't leave here alive!
**[16:27] Reanette**
In that case, please remember your
training from these last two years.
**[16:32] Rick**
These last two years...
**[16:40] Rick**
H-Help me. Someone, help...
**[16:45] Reanette**
Well?
**[16:47] Rick**
Are you trying to break my mind?
**[16:49] Reanette**
But you aren't nervous anymore, are you?
**[16:52] Reanette**
Please have more confidence in yourself.
**[16:54] Reanette**
The party which prides itself on being the
strongest on the continent, Orichalcum Fist,
**[16:58] Reanette**
considers you one of its members.
**[17:03] Rick**
Thank you, Reanette.
**[17:05] Rick**
I'll be right back.
**[17:07] Reanette**
Good luck, Rick-sama.
**[17:10] Angelica**
It seems you've readied yourself.
**[17:13] Rick; internal**
*I'm up against a knight second class.*
**[17:16] Rick; internal**
* I don't know how much I'll*
* be able to do, but...*
**[17:20] Angelica**
However, you are only an F-rank.
**[17:23] Angelica**
I will make certain allowances...
**[17:25] Angelica**
and refrain from killing you.
**[17:30] Rick; internal**
* So, she's a swordsman-type that*
* strengthens her body and weapons.*
**[17:33] Angelica**
Will you be able to keep up with my speed?
**[17:38] Angelica**
Flickering Feet!
**[17:45] Rick**
Wha—?
**[17:46] Angelica**
In lieu of a greeting, I made
myself just a little slower.
**[17:50] Angelica**
Though it seems I was too
quick for an F-rank like you.
**[17:55] Angelica**
Are you so shocked that you
can't even make a sound?
**[18:00] Freed**
Did you see that,
you 40-ish-year-old commoner?
**[18:02] Freed**
Oneesama's speed has made people
call her Angelica the Flash!
**[18:07] Rick**
The Flash?
**[18:12] Angelica**
This time, I won't deliberately miss!
**[18:17] Angelica**
Flickering Feet!

**[18:24] Rick; internal**

**[18:27] Rick; internal**

* But he mentioned "the Flash"*
* or something, didn't he?*
**[18:34] Rick; internal**
*At this speed?*
**[18:35] Reanette**
Rick-sama.
**[18:36] Rick**
Oh.
**[18:37] Angelica; internal**
* He dodged? And it seems as if*
* he'd completely read my move.*
**[18:41] Angelica; internal**
*No, that can't be possible.*
**[18:44] Angelica; internal**
* Only a handful of knights first class*
* can properly react to my speed.*
**[18:50] Angelica**
Even if you happened, by chance, to dodge
once, there won't be a second time!
**[18:54] Angelica**
Flickering Feet!
**[18:57] Rick; internal**
*She really* is *slow!*
**[18:59] Rick; internal**
*This is a knight second class?*
**[19:02] Rick; internal**
* Did she get into the*
* knights through nepotism?*
**[19:05] Rick; internal**
* Or could it be that I*
* might be pretty strong?*
**[19:09] Rick; internal**
*Yeah, right.*
**[19:12] Angelica**
A rock?
**[19:14] Rick; internal**
*Now, I'd better start—*
**[19:19] Rick; internal**
*Will I be able to dodge this?*
**[19:27] Freed**
O-Oneesama?
**[19:30] Rick**
I couldn't read her movement at all.
**[19:32] Rick**
What an incredible skill!
**[19:34] Rick; internal**
* And I thought I might be strong?*
* How arrogant can I be?*
**[19:39] Rick; internal**
*I'm just an F-rank newbie.*
**[19:42] Rick; internal**
*This overwhelming difference in ability...*
**[19:44] Rick; internal**
*this is a knight second class.*
**[19:47] Angelica; internal**
*I just tripped big-time,*
**[19:50] Angelica; internal**
*but I'll pretend it was on purpose.*
**[19:52] Angelica**
So, you can dodge that
attack too? Impressive.
**[19:56] Angelica**
Then, I'll simply move faster.
**[20:00] Angelica**
This next Flickering Feet takes
a heavy toll on my body.
**[20:03] Angelica**
It's a high-speed movement technique
I can only use three times.
**[20:06] Angelica**
My speed will be completely
incomparable to what it was before.
**[20:12] Angelica**
Flickering Feet, Thousandths!
***SIGN*** Flickering Feet
***SIGN*** Thousandths
**[20:17] Rick; internal**
* She's three times faster than*
* before, but she's still slow.*
**[20:21] Rick; internal**
* Still, if I move carelessly here,*
* she might unleash another killer sword move.*
**[20:26] Angelica; internal**
*He dodged that, too? Who is this man?*
**[20:33] Angelica; internal**
* I can only use Thousandths two*
* more times. What do I do?*
**[20:38] Angelica; internal**
* No, if it didn't work the first time, then I*
* just need to strike at top speed in succession!*
**[20:43] Angelica**
Flickering Feet, Thousandths!
**[20:45] Rick; internal**
*We'll never settle things at this rate.*
**[20:51] Angelica**
I missed again. One chance left.
**[20:56] Angelica**
Willpower!
**[20:59] Angelica**
Flickering Feet, Thousandths!
**[21:01] Rick; internal**
*All right. I'll take her charge and attack!*
**[21:05] Angelica**
Not again!
**[21:08] Rick; internal**
*She's attacking low?*
**[21:09] Rick; internal**
*Blast it! Will I make it in time?*
**[21:29] Angelica; internal**
*If I hadn't tripped...*
**[21:32] Angelica; internal**
*that punch would have landed on me.*
**[21:34] Rick**
I knew it. You managed to dodge.
**[21:37] Angelica**
J-Just who are you, really?
**[21:40] Rick**
Huh?
**[21:41] Rick**
Two years ago, I changed from being a Guild
receptionist to being an adventurer.
**[21:46] Rick**
I'm just an average F-rank adventurer.
**[21:48] Angelica**
That's definitely a lie!
**[21:50] Rick**
That's a knight second class for you.
**[21:52] Rick**
I don't know don't know how effective
my strength may be against you...
**[21:57] Rick**
but I'll think of this as
a learning experience...
**[21:59] Angelica**
I-I-I...
**[22:00] Rick**
and throw everything I have at you!
**[22:01] Angelica**
I-I-I...
**[22:02] Rick**
All right! Let's go!
**[22:03] Angelica**
I surrender.
**[22:05] Rick**
What? Surrender? Why?!
**[22:08] Freed**
O-Oneesama?
**[22:10] Angelica**
Th-This time, I'll let you have the win.
**[22:15] Rick**
What? Are you sure?
**[22:17] Angelica**
W-Well, um,
**[22:19] Angelica**
seeing as you managed to dodge
my Flickering Feet, I'll be lenient this time.
**[22:24] Angelica**
We're leaving, Freed.
**[22:25] Rick**
R-Right!
**[22:28] Rick**
What about that promise?
**[22:30] Angelica**
Ack!
**[22:30] Rick**
If I remember right...
**[22:32] (Flashback) Angelica**
The loser must act as
the victor's servant until death.
**[22:36] Rick**
That's what you said.
I didn't propose anything,
**[22:40] Rick**
so can I just use the same one as yours?
**[22:46] Angelica**
Overcome your limits one more time, my legs.
**[22:48] Angelica**
Flickering Feet, Thousandths!
**[22:50] Freed**
Oneesama?!
**[22:51] Rick**
That's the fastest she's moved!
**[22:52] Freed**
O-Oneesama, please wait for me!
**[22:55] Rick**
What was all that? Can I
really consider this my win?
**[23:00] Reanette**
Your opponent acknowledged it to be so.
**[23:03] Rick**
It just doesn't feel right, though.
**[23:06] Reanette**
Anyway, it's nearly time for
the results of the preliminary test.
**[23:10] Rick**
Oh, that's right!
**[23:12] Rick**
I wonder if I passed.
**[23:15] Reanette**
And Broughston-sama and the others
will be arriving here soon.
**[23:19] Rick**
What?
**[23:20] Rick**
They're coming here? Why?
**[23:22] Reanette**
Apparently, they're coming
to see how you're faring.
**[23:25] Rick**
What?!
**[23:37] Rick**
I'm only getting bad feelings about this!

**[01:59] Alisa**
We will now announce the results
of the preliminary tests.
**[02:02] Alisa**
Magical energy will be transmitted
to each of your exam tickets.
**[02:05] Alisa**
If if glows blue, you have passed.
**[02:07] Alisa**
Tomorrow, everyone who has passed will
participate in the second test, a mock battle.
**[02:14] Rick**
Did I make it through?
**[02:16] Reanette**
Don't worry. Please have more
confidence in yourself.
**[02:19] Rick; internal**
*Reanette is so kind.*
**[02:22] Rick; internal**
*If only I were ten years younger.*
**[02:24] Rick; internal**
*But despite how she looks...*
**[02:26] Reanette**
If you failed, your
training will be tripled.
**[02:29] Rick**
Woohoo! I'm definitely gonna die!
**[02:35] Rick**
Here it comes!
**[02:46] Rick**
I did it!
**[02:47] Rick**
I did it, Reanette!
**[02:49] Reanette**
Yes. Congratulations.
**[02:52] Rick**
That's a huge relief.
**[02:55] Rick**
I was really scared there!
**[02:59] Rick**
What's that smell?
**[03:00] Raster**
Well, well.
**[03:02] Raster**
Hello, beautiful dark elf lady.
**[03:05] Raster**
There's a little something
I'd like to ask you.
**[03:08] Raster**
May I?
**[03:10] Raster**
I am the eldest son of the House of Diarmuit
which governs the lands to the north,
**[03:16] Raster**
Raster Diarmuit.
**[03:18] Rick**
"The eldest son of the House of..."?
**[03:20] Rick; internal**
*His title is so long. I'll just call him North.*
**[03:23] Raster**
Will you tell me your name?
**[03:26] Reanette**
Reanette Elfelt.
**[03:28] Raster**
Even your very name is beautiful!
**[03:31] Rick; internal**
*Is he taking the test, too?*
**[03:33] Rick**
I'm Rick Gladiatol.
**[03:35] Raster**
Huh? I have no interest in a
lackluster, middle-aged bore.
**[03:40] Raster**
The truth is, I've lost
something very important.
**[03:44] Raster**
Do you want to know what it is?
**[03:45] Reanette**
No.
**[03:46] Raster**
I see! Of course you want to know!
Then I shall tell you.
**[03:50] Raster**
Actually, I've lost my heart...
**[03:54] Raster**
in the depths of your eyes.
**[03:56] Raster**
You see?
**[03:58] Raster**
I would very much like you to come
to the lands to the north with me.
**[04:02] Raster**
I will take you as my second wife.
**[04:09] Rick**
Just a moment, young man.
**[04:11] Raster**
What?
**[04:12] Raster**
What do you want, middle-aged bore?
Don't interfere.
**[04:15] Rick**
Sh-She's my girlfriend.
**[04:18] Rick**
I can't stay quiet when someone
hits on her right in front of me.
**[04:23] Raster**
You?
**[04:25] Raster**
You're taking the rank promotion test?
**[04:30] Raster**
You're an apprentice F-rank at your age?
**[04:33] Raster**
Please, stop joking with me.
**[04:35] Rick**
W-Well, you're about 25, aren't you?
**[04:39] Rick**
That's pretty late, too, isn't it?
**[04:41] Raster**
You can't even ascertain someone else's
strength, you sub-third-rate oaf.
**[04:45] Raster**
I was promoted to E-rank back when I was 14.
**[04:49] Raster**
I'm A-rank, and the examiner for
the second test, the mock battle.
**[04:55] Rick**
What?!
**[04:55] Raster; background**
Shoo, shoo!
**[04:56] Raster**
So, yeah, stay out of this.
**[04:58] Raster**
Now, my lady,
**[04:59] Raster**
leave this background character
and come have dinner with me.
**[05:04] Reanette**
I'm very sorry,
**[05:08] Reanette**
but I am unable to accept your invitation.
**[05:12] Reanette**
You see, I am in a relationship
with this gentleman.
**[05:15] Raster**
What?
**[05:16] Reanette**
Besides which, the smell of your cologne
is so strong that it's unpleasant.
**[05:20] Rick**
Oh! This smell is you?
**[05:24] Raster**
You sub-third-rate oaf!
**[05:26] Raster**
If I am your examiner for the mock battle in
the second test, you'd best brace yourself.
**[05:31] Raster**
I will show you, definitively,
the difference in our stations.
**[05:35] Raster**
And once I do,
she'll come to her senses too.
**[05:38] Rick**
This has turned into a huge mess.
**[05:41] Rick**
I hope that I don't get North.
**[05:45] Rick**
Sorry!
**[05:48] Rick**
I said you were my girlfriend
without asking first.
**[05:51] Reanette**
Not at all.
**[05:52] Rick**
What?
**[05:54] Reanette**
Actually, it made me happy.
**[05:56] Reanette**
And it helped me out of that predicament.
**[06:04] Raster**
That sub-third-rate oaf.
**[06:06] Raster**
He's so infuriating!
**[06:10] Raster; internal**
* Does he not know that some people*
* are simply born to be better?*
**[06:14] Freed; Angelica**
Oniisama!
**[06:17] Raster**
What's happened?
**[06:19] Freed**
Today at the first test, a 40-ish
year old commoner bullied me!
**[06:24] Angelica**
That same 40-ish year old used the
covenant of the duel as a shield
**[06:28] Angelica**
and nearly subjected me to the
most heinous of indignities!
**[06:32] Raster**
What?
**[06:33] Raster**
To make members of the noble
House of Diarmuit cry...
**[06:36] Raster**
Unforgivable!
**[06:39] Raster**
Wait. You say he was 40-ish?
**[06:40] Rick; background**
*The name's Rick!*
**[06:43] Raster**
Do you remember the man's examinee number?
**[06:46] Freed**
Y-Yes. I remember the number
sounded like he'd die soon.
**[06:53] Rick**
It's time for the mock battle.
**[06:55] Reanette**
Please go easy on them.
**[06:58] Rick**
Why would I need to take
it easy on anyone here?
**[07:00] Rick**
And what do I do if I get North?
**[07:05] Rick**
It's one thing after another!
**[07:07] Laurotte**
Pardon the intrusion.
**[07:09] Laurotte**
Are you Rick Gladiatol-san?
**[07:12] Rick**
Yes, I am.
**[07:14] Laurotte**
Pleased to meet you. I'm Links Laurotte.
**[07:18] Laurotte**
I will be your examiner for the second test.
**[07:22] Rick**
Really?
**[07:23] Laurotte**
Yes. I am overseeing everyone above number
4200 who passed the preliminary test.
**[07:29] Rick; internal**
*I'm so glad I didn't get North!*
**[07:31] Rick; internal**
*Thank you, deathly number 4242!*
**[07:33] Laurotte**
But I was surprised.
**[07:36] Laurotte**
Switching jobs from receptionist
to adventurer at the age of 30?
**[07:41] Rick**
I know I'm really late in
getting started, but—
**[07:43] Laurotte**
Such a marvelous display of determination!
**[07:45] Laurotte**
You've given me strength
as a fellow middle-aged man!
**[07:48] Laurotte**
I want to become someone like you!
**[07:50] Laurotte**
The truth is, I began as an
adventurer when I was 24.
**[07:56] Laurotte**
But throwing yourself
into this business past 30?
**[07:59] Laurotte**
You must be driven by something powerful.
**[08:03] Rick**
Yes, that's right! I have a dream!
**[08:06] Rick**
But how could you...
**[08:09] Laurotte**
Of course I can tell.
After all, I'm the same.
**[08:12] Rick**
The same?
**[08:13] Laurotte**
I've turned 40, but I'm striving to reach
A-rank in order to make my dream come true.
**[08:19] Laurotte**
Though it's taken me nearly 20
years to finally reach B-rank.
**[08:24] Rick; internal**
* He's here because he has a fire*
* unbecoming of his years, too.*
**[08:25] Laurotte; background**
Even so, I have no intention of giving up.
**[08:31] Rick**
I look forward to your
guidance in the mock battle.
**[08:33] Laurotte**
A pleasure! But I won't
be playing favorites.
**[08:35] Rick**
Of course! I'll give it everything I've got!
**[08:38] Laurotte**
What would you think of getting
a drink together after the test?
**[08:41] Rick**
Sounds great!
**[08:45] Laurotte**
*Rick-san's hand...*
**[08:47] Laurotte**
*That hand had seen a lot of training.*
**[08:51] Laurotte**
I have to work harder, too!
**[08:53] Raster**
Hey there, third-rater.
**[08:56] Raster**
Be honored, for I would like to
have a personal word with you.
**[09:00] Raster**
May I?
**[09:07] Reanette**
You seem to be in a very good mood.
**[09:09] Rick**
Yeah, I guess so.
**[09:11] staff**
This is an announcement for those
with number 4200 and higher!
**[09:16] staff**
Your scheduled examiner, Links
Laurotte, has suddenly taken ill.
**[09:23] Rick**
Is he all right? He seemed healthy
just a little while ago.
**[09:26] staff**
Given the situation, the examiner in charge
of the previous group, Raster Diarmuit,
**[09:30] staff**
will now be your examiner.
**[09:31] Rick**
Raster Diarmuit?
**[09:34] Reanette**
The cologne man from yesterday.
**[09:38] Rick**
You mean North?
**[09:40] Rick**
Seriously?!
**[09:41] Reanette**
Diarmuit. That means the two we met
yesterday, Angelica-sama and her brother,
**[09:45] Reanette**
may be blood relations of his.
**[09:47] Rick**
*Those guys?!*
**[09:49] No. 4238**
Raster? I guess it's all over now.
**[09:52] No. 4240**
Our examiner changed, that's all.
**[09:54] No. 4239**
You don't know?
**[09:56] No. 4239**
He's the eldest son of a prestigious noble
house who achieved A-rank at age 17.
**[09:59] No. 4239**
He's a genius known as the
Man of a Thousand Abilities.
**[10:03] No. 4238**
But the problem is his other nickname,
**[10:06] No. 4238**
the F-rank Crusher.
**[10:10] No. 4239**
They say that every year he has fun
harassing examinees that catch his eye.
**[10:14] No. 4240**
What?
**[10:16] Rick; internal**
* I've probably caught his eye so much,*
* he can't see anything else.*
**[10:21] Raster**
Freeze over, O newly green lands.
**[10:24] Raster**
Level-Four Nature Composed Magic,
**[10:26] Raster**
Blizzard Rockshot.
**[10:32] Raster**
Ridiculous.
**[10:35] Raster**
This is the problem with
those who are lowborn.
**[10:38] guard captain**
Raster-sama.
**[10:40] Raster**
A guard, is it? What do you want?
**[10:45] Rick**
Oh, what do I do? What do I do?
**[10:50] Reanette**
Why are you so flustered by this?
**[10:53] Rick**
You're asking me why?
**[10:54] Rick**
I'm dealing with the Man of a Thousand
Abilities, who's A-rank and hates my guts!
**[10:58] Rick**
I'm F-rank, and I can only use two
of the Level-One World Composed Magics!
**[11:02] Rick**
Blast it! I want to go home!
**[11:05] Rick**
But if I leave, I'll get
triple the training and die!
**[11:07] Rick**
And if I *fail* the test, I'll get
triple the training and die!
**[11:09] Rick**
No matter what I do,
my death is assured!
**[11:17] Reanette**
You don't feel confident?
**[11:20] Rick**
Well, I'm late in starting all of this,
and everyone is telling me...
**[11:26] Rick**
"It just won't be possible for you."
**[11:29] Reanette**
Then, what if it were the reverse?
**[11:32] Rick**
The reverse?
**[11:34] Reanette**
If the words of others can cause
your confidence to falter,
**[11:37] Reanette**
then the words of others can cause
a burst of confidence as well.
**[11:41] Reanette**
Am I mistaken?
**[11:42] Reanette**
I believe in you.
**[11:45] Reanette**
You are strong.
**[11:47] Reanette**
You will pass this test, and you
can beat the cologne man.
**[11:52] Reanette**
You've been able to ever since the day
you decided to become an adventurer.
**[12:01] Reanette**
Do you trust me?
**[12:04] Rick**
Yes. Thank you!
**[12:06] Rick**
Hearing you say all of that to me,
**[12:09] Rick**
I think I feel my confidence coming back.
**[12:14] Freed**
Hey, old man—I mean, mister?
**[12:16] Rick**
Yes, that's me!
**[12:18] Freed**
You're taking the test today, aren't you?
**[12:20] Freed**
You seem to have gone through a lot
at such an old—I mean, young age.
**[12:26] Freed**
Please, allow me to tell your fortune.
**[12:29] Rick**
Fortune-telling?
**[12:31] Freed**
Don't worry! I'm no one
suspicious or anything.
**[12:34] Freed**
Since this is your first time,
there's no need to pay me.
**[12:36] Rick**
For good luck, then. Why not?
**[12:39] Freed**
Please have a seat.
**[12:41] Rick**
Right you are!
**[12:47] Reanette**
Rick-sama!
**[12:52] Freed**
You fell for it! I am a genius of an actor!
**[13:02] Reanette**
That was teleportation magic, wasn't it?
**[13:04] Reanette**
Where did you send him?
**[13:06] Freed**
Wh-Why would I ever tell y—
**[13:13] Reanette**
Next, it will be your eye.
**[13:15] Reanette**
Your right eye or your left?
Which will it be?
**[13:19] Freed**
Teleportation magic is of the
highest difficulty level,
**[13:22] Freed**
so even for a genius like me, a hundred
meters is the absolute limit!
**[13:26] Freed**
He hasn't gone too far!
**[13:29] Rick**
Am I behind the testing site?
**[13:32] Rick**
But why?
**[13:35] guard captain**
Welcome.
**[13:36] guard captain**
Apologies, but you'll have
to go to sleep for a time.
**[13:40] Rick**
Um, are you sure you have the right person?
**[13:43] guard captain**
Unfortunately, there is no mistake.
**[13:45] guard A**
We are the personal guards
of the Diarmuit family.
**[13:48] Rick**
Diarmuit?
**[13:50] Rick**
You mean them?!
**[13:51] guard captain**
There is no need to trouble
Raster-sama with any of this.
**[13:55] guard A**
You're gonna fail the test without
even getting to participate!
**[13:59] Rick**
You're here to delay me?
Are you not ashamed?!
**[14:03] guard captain**
We're not here to delay you.
**[14:04] guard captain**
We're here to beat you up.
**[14:05] Rick**
That's even worse!
**[14:07] guard captain**
Our strength is roughly equivalent
to those who are B-rank,
**[14:10] guard captain**
though a few are a match for A-ranks as well.
**[14:12] guard captain**
Myself included.
**[14:16] Rick; internal**
*I... I'm done for!*
**[14:19] Rick; internal**
*This is totally impossible!*
**[14:21] Rick; internal**
* Failing the test because*
* of this just isn't fair!*
**[14:24] Alicerette**
Oh, hey!
**[14:26] Alicerette**
It's Rikkun!
**[14:28] Broughston**
What are you doing?
**[14:30] Mizett**
What? You mean Reanette isn't around?
**[14:34] Rick**
Senpais?

**[14:55] Broughston**
Rick, you have a test.
Why are you here instead?
**[14:59] guard A**
An orc that can speak?
**[15:02] Rick**
Huh? No, wait!
**[15:04] Rick**
I, um...
**[15:06] guard B**
Who're you? You got a death wish?
**[15:09] Rick**
Um, these men are helping me
loosen up before the test!
**[15:14] Rick**
Right? That's it, right?
**[15:16] guard B**
Huh? What're you talkin' about?
**[15:18] Broughston**
Is that so? Then I shall help as well.
**[15:20] Rick**
Hey, you, the one who seems like the leader!
**[15:23] Rick**
I'm begging you, please withdraw!
Your lives are on the line here!
**[15:27] guard captain**
Deal with them.
**[15:28] Rick**
Listen to me!
**[15:29] guard B**
Time to get lost!
**[15:34] Broughston**
You've enhanced your physical
strength to a reasonable extent.
**[15:39] Broughston**
However, you've failed to reinforce your weapon.
I can't say I'm impressed by that.
**[15:42] guard B**
What a load of crap! Take this!
**[15:54] Broughston**
Don't worry.
**[15:57] Broughston**
O master of good fortune, send to this hand
**[16:00] Broughston**
Healing Light.
**[16:08] Broughston**
Your accuracy in reinforcing
your arm wasn't bad,
**[16:11] Broughston**
but you're unbalanced.
**[16:13] Broughston**
You should keep an awareness that
the body is all one connected mass.
**[16:17] guard A**
An orc who can not only talk,
but also use magic?
**[16:21] guard captain**
That's... No, it can't be.
**[16:23] Mizett**
Hey, Rick-kun. This is that thing, right?
**[16:26] Mizett**
Trouble found you and now you're
gettin' blamed for it, right?
**[16:29] Rick**
What? Well, yes.
**[16:30] Mizett**
Right, then! In that case, I'll bring
a peaceful end to all of this.
**[16:36] Rick**
What is that?
**[16:38] Mizett**
I developed it recently. This is the
Super Flamecannon-kun, Juliet, Revised.
**[16:43] Mizett**
It's loaded with magic-infused
stones and lead bullets.
**[16:47] Rick**
Which means...
**[16:48] guard C**
We'll deal with the others first!
**[16:50] guard D; E**
Yeah!
**[16:51] Mizett**
It means...this!
**[16:55] Mizett**
This is pretty well made!
I really am impressive.
**[16:59] Rick**
Wait!
**[17:00] Mizett**
What is it? Did you want
to shoot it too, Rick-kun?
**[17:03] Rick**
No, I don't!
**[17:04] Rick**
What are you doing?!
**[17:04] guard captain; internal**
*There's no mistake. Those people are...*
**[17:05] Mizett**
It's fine! No one's dead.
**[17:07] Rick**
That's not the problem here!
**[17:07] guard F**
That's enough!
**[17:09] guard F**
If you value this kid's life, then don't move!
**[17:13] Rick**
Wait, do you know what you've done?
**[17:15] Rick**
Do you want to die?
**[17:17] Broughston**
Releasing her would be
in your best interest.
**[17:19] Alicerette**
Say, what is this man doing?
**[17:22] Rick**
U-Um, I'm sure he just wants to
play with you, Alicerette-senpai!
**[17:27] Alicerette**
Really?
**[17:28] Alicerette**
All right! What do you want to play?
**[17:30] guard F**
You keep quiet!
**[17:33] Alicerette**
That hurt!
**[17:36] Rick**
It's over.
**[17:38] Alicerette**
There!
**[17:43] guard A**
She cast Level-Seven Nature Composed
magic with just the word, "There"?
**[17:47] guard captain**
At just ten years old,
**[17:49] guard captain**
she's the most powerful,
genius vampire mage...
**[17:52] guard captain**
the Demon-Child of Devastation,
Alicerette Draqul.
***SIGN*** Demon-Child of Devastation
**[18:00] guard captain**
He's half elf and half dwarf.
Despite his looks, he's over 50.
**[18:05] guard captain**
His techniques seem a millennium
ahead of their time.
**[18:07] guard captain**
He's the world's greatest weapon craftsman,
**[18:10] guard captain**
the Thousand-Year Workshopper,
Mizett Eldwarf!
***SIGN*** Thousand-Year Workshopper
**[18:17] guard captain**
And that orc... He's got monstrous physical
strength and the intelligence to match.
**[18:22] guard captain**
He can use every support
magic technique in existence,
**[18:24] guard captain**
the Sage Beast, Broughston Ashorc!
***SIGN*** Sage Beast
**[18:28] guard captain**
All three of them are S-rank adventurers.
**[18:31] guard A**
S-rank?!
**[18:32] guard A**
You mean the monsters who have battle
sense that defies all logic?
**[18:36] guard captain**
And they are members of a party
comprised solely of S-rankers,
**[18:39] guard captain**
the strongest party on
the continent, the legendary...
**[18:43] guard captain**
Orichalcum Fist!
**[18:45] guard captain**
I never imagined the day would come that
I would behold them with my own eyes!
**[18:50] guard captain**
I will retire and live the
remainder of my years in peace.
**[18:54] guard A**
His eyes are more tranquil
than I've ever seen before!
**[18:56] Alicerette**
Take that!
**[18:58] Alicerette**
Go!
**[19:00] Alicerette**
Kaboom!
**[19:05] Rick**
All right! I'll go do my best in the test!
**[19:07] Alicerette; background**
And another one!
**[19:12] Freed**
U-Um, how long do you mean
to keep me like this, you...
**[19:16] Freed**
I mean, miss?
**[19:17] Reanette**
Until Rick-sama returns.
**[19:19] Freed**
He's not coming back, you...
I mean, it isn't likely.
**[19:22] Freed**
The place I sent him was
full of our guards, so—
**[19:25] Rick**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[19:26] Freed**
He's totally unharmed?
**[19:27] Freed**
But how?
**[19:29] Rick**
I'm truly sorry. Please, forgive me!
**[19:32] Freed**
Forgive what?
**[19:33] Reanette**
Welcome back.
**[19:35] Rick**
What happened to the wall?
**[19:37] Reanette**
I tore through it, just a little.
**[19:39] Rick**
"Just a little"?
**[19:42] Rick**
I'd expect no less of you, Reanette.
**[19:46] Laurotte**
R-Rick-kun...
**[19:51] Rick**
Laurotte-san!
**[19:53] Laurotte**
It was him. Raster did this to me.
**[19:57] Rick**
What? What about suddenly feeling sick?
**[20:00] Laurotte**
It's as you can see.
**[20:02] Laurotte**
I didn't stand a chance against him.
**[20:07] Rick; internal**
*Don't tell me he...*
**[20:08] Rick; internal**
* Did he do all this just so*
* that he could be my examiner?*
**[20:12] Laurotte**
When he did this, he asked me...
**[20:14] Laurotte**
"What is your dream?"
**[20:18] Laurotte**
My dream...
**[20:20] Laurotte**
I come from a poor, remote area.
**[20:22] Laurotte**
There are children there who
want to become adventurers.
**[20:25] Laurotte**
I want to build a school for them.
**[20:28] Laurotte**
When I told him that...
**[20:32] (Flashback) Raster**
Third-rate, late-starting scum
like you wants to build a school?
**[20:36] (Flashback) Raster**
If they're taught by a third-rater,
they'll end up third-rate, too!
**[20:40] (Flashback) Raster**
It's old people like you who
are making this world worse.
**[20:49] Laurotte**
It made me furious, but I couldn't
say anything back to him.
**[20:56] Laurotte**
Maybe it's foolhardy for someone
like me to have a dream at all.
**[21:03] Laurotte**
You should withdraw from the test!
**[21:05] Laurotte**
What happened to me will be nothing—
**[21:07] Rick**
Laurotte-san.
**[21:09] Rick**
If nothing else, this is what I think.
**[21:11] Rick**
It shouldn't matter when a
person starts something.
**[21:18] Laurotte**
Rick-kun...
**[21:27] Raster**
Every single one of you
is completely useless.
**[21:30] guard G**
Raster-sama...
**[21:33] guard G**
We're so very sorry.
**[21:38] guard G**
Huh. So, he's coming, then?
**[21:40] Raster**
To have his hard work and
passion trampled upon
**[21:43] Raster**
and to be unfairly disqualified
from the test.
**[21:45] Raster**
I thought that would be amusing,
**[21:48] Raster**
but very well.
**[21:49] Raster**
I will give you a taste of suffering that
will make hell seem tame in comparison.
**[22:07] Rick; internal**
*That scumbag.*
**[22:11] Rick; internal**
*I'm gonna send him flying!*

Guess you can't expect much more
from an E-rank exam.
**[00:15] Adolf**
Hey there! My name is Adolf.
**[00:17] Adolf**
Pleased to make your acquaintance.
**[00:19] Adolf**
Have you heard of the Four
Foundational Faculties?
**[00:22] Adolf**
The four Foundational Faculties are
physical strength, body control,
***SIGN*** Physical Strength
***SIGN*** Body Control
***SIGN*** Magic Reserves
**[00:26] Adolf**
magic reserves, and magic control.
***SIGN*** Magic Control
**[00:28] Adolf**
Together, they greatly influence
an adventurer's strength.
**[00:31] Adolf**
And I...
**[00:33] Adolf**
I have the ability to visualize the scores of other people's Four Foundational Faculties.
**[00:37] Adolf**
I was born with this stupendous ability!
**[00:40] Adolf**
That's right! Just like this...
**[00:48] Adolf**
You see?
**[00:49] Adolf**
Now, what about the examiner?
**[00:54] Adolf**
Wow! Incredible!
**[00:57] Adolf**
This is definitely someone who's A-rank!
**[00:59] Adolf**
He's no simple examiner.
**[01:01] Adolf**
My eyes! The strain on my eyes!
**[01:04] Adolf**
It's dangerous to look at anyone too strong.
**[01:07] Adolf; internal**
*What's with that dreary-looking dude?*
**[01:11] Adolf**
Don't tell me he's taking
the test at his age.
**[01:14] Adolf**
That actually makes me curious
about this ability scores.
**[01:22] Adolf**
My eyes!

My eyes!

**[02:56] Alisa**
Um, excuse me.
**[02:59] Alisa**
I saw you with Rick-senpai yesterday.
**[03:04] Alisa**
I worked with him when he
was a Guild receptionist.
**[03:07] Alisa**
My name is Alisa Granger.
**[03:11] Reanette**
I am Reanette Elfelt.
**[03:13] Reanette**
I am a member of the same
party as Rick-sama.
**[03:17] Alisa**
You are? I thought you might be!
**[03:18] Alicerette**
Rea-chan! Over here!
**[03:23] Reanette**
Would you care to join us?
**[03:26] Alisa**
Yes, I'd love to!
**[03:32] Alisa; internal**
*Why is an orc here?*
**[03:34] Mizett**
Reanette-chan! The space next to me is open.
**[03:37] Mizett**
Feel free to have a seat.
**[03:38] Reanette**
If I do, I will be sexually harassed,
so I decline your offer.
**[03:41] Mizett**
You're no fun.
**[03:43] Mizett**
So, who's she?
**[03:44] Reanette**
Rick-sama's former co-worker, Alisa-sama.
**[03:47] Alisa**
I'm Alisa! Pleased to meet you.
**[03:52] Mizette**
Alisa-chan! The space next to me is open!
**[03:54] Mizette**
Feel free to have a seat!
**[03:56] Reanette**
If you do, you will be sexually
harassed. Please come this way.
**[04:03] Broughston**
How does our promising old rookie fare?
**[04:07] Reanette**
Rick-sama will pass the exam
without incident.
**[04:11] Alisa**
Oh, but his examiner is Raster-san.
**[04:14] Broughston**
Is there some sort of problem?
**[04:16] Alisa**
Raster-san is A-rank, and he always
overpowers the examinees more than necessary.
**[04:22] Broughston**
If that's the case, it
should not pose a problem.
**[04:24] Reanette**
Indeed.
**[04:26] Mizett**
Looks like it's about to start.
**[04:30] Angelica**
Raster-oniisama, beat the stuffing
out of that 40-ish year old oaf!
**[04:34] Freed**
P-Please avenge me.
**[04:37] Angelica**
F-Freed-chan?
**[04:39] Raster**
I never imagined you'd escape
our guards. That's a surprise.
**[04:43] Raster**
But they are, after all,
no more than trifling peasants.
**[04:48] Raster**
It would be best if you did not assume that
I, a noble and a genius, am like them.
**[04:55] Rick**
Yes.
**[04:57] Rick; internal**
*I can tell that at a glance, and yet...*
**[05:01] Rick**
Let me ask you one thing.
**[05:03] Rick**
Why did you become an adventurer?
**[05:05] Raster**
What? Why, you ask?
**[05:07] Raster**
Because I have a talent for it.
**[05:10] Raster**
Even as a noble, being a former adventurer
will only increase my status, you see?
**[05:14] Raster**
So, I'm planning to quit
at the appropriate time.
**[05:18] Raster**
I've grown bored with it anyway.
**[05:22] Rick**
I see.
**[05:24] Rick**
In that case...
**[05:25] Rick**
I don't want to lose to a guy like you!
**[05:28] Raster**
You should speak to those your
senior with more deference.
**[05:32] Raster**
Though, who knows how long
you'll be able to speak at all?
**[05:36] Raster**
Now, let's begin. Level-One Nature
Composed Magic, Ice Shot.
**[05:43] Raster**
Come now. What's wrong?
Have you been seized with fear?
**[05:48] Rick; internal**
*Don't let your anger control you.*
**[05:51] Rick; internal**
*Stay calm and rational.*
**[05:53] Rick; internal**
*First...*
**[05:55] (Flashback) Reanette**
Rick-sama, I have one piece of advice.
**[05:58] (Flashback) Reanette**
After the match begins, use the
first minute to calm your feelings.
**[06:01] (Flashback) Reanette**
Please focus on observing your opponent.
**[06:05] Rick; internal**
* To be honest, I'm worried,*
* but I'll trust Reanette!*
**[06:09] Raster**
If you won't attack, then I'll do as I like.
**[06:12] Angelica**
Oniisama!
**[06:14] Freed**
Get that 40-something commoner!
**[06:16] Raster**
Level-Three Nature Composed Magic,
Flame Illuminate!
**[06:20] Rick; internal**
*A Level-Three with no full incantation?*
**[06:23] Rick; internal**
*But right now, observing is—*
**[06:27] Alisa**
Senpai!
**[06:34] Alisa**
Senpai.
**[06:36] Broughston**
For Rick, something that trifling
doesn't qualify as taking a hit.
**[06:39] Alisa**
Trifling?
**[06:41] Broughston**
Do you know the Four Foundational Faculties
that determine an adventurer's strength?
**[06:45] Alisa**
Yes.
***SIGN*** Physical Strength
**[06:47] Alisa**
Physical strength, body control,
magic reserves, and magic control, right?
***SIGN*** Body Control
***SIGN*** Magic Reserves
***SIGN*** Magic Control
**[06:52] Broughston**
That's right.
**[06:53] Broughston**
And among them, one's magic reserves
must be developed while one is young,
**[06:57] Broughston**
or else there is no hope of further growth.
**[07:00] Alisa**
Yes, it has to be done before
a person reaches the age of 20.
**[07:04] Alisa**
But Senpai became an adventurer
when he was 30.
**[07:08] Alisa**
That means...
**[07:09] Broughston**
Exactly.
**[07:11] Broughston**
And for that reason, Rick's magic
reserves are extremely low.
**[07:14] Broughston**
Which is why...
**[07:16] (Flashback) Broughston**
Listen well, Rick,
**[07:17] (Flashback) Broughston**
the one thing you will be able to
count on in the end is your own body.
**[07:21] (Flashback) Rick**
Yes, sir!
**[07:22] (Flashback) Broughston**
Then, as a first step, let's
go to the next village over.
**[07:26] (Flashback) Rick**
Yes, sir! But...
**[07:28] (Flashback) Rick**
why do I have these things on my legs?
**[07:30] (Flashback) Broughston**
They should pose no difficulty.
**[07:31] (Flashback) Broughston**
As we're just starting,
they're only a hundred kilograms.
**[07:34] (Flashback) Rick**
That's way too heavy!
**[07:36] (Flashback) Broughston**
Make sure you keep up.
**[07:38] (Flashback) Broughston**
There is a den of carnivorous
monsters in this forest.
**[07:41] (Flashback) Rick**
Huh?
**[07:48] Broughston**
To make up for his lack in magic reserves,
**[07:50] Broughston**
he trained exhaustively
in the other three areas.
**[07:52] Alisa**
What?
**[07:53] Raster**
The next one will hurt a little
more than the previous ones.
**[07:56] Raster**
Level-Four Nature Composed
Magic, Hurricane Cutter!
**[08:03] Broughston**
For physical strength,
I built him up from scratch.
**[08:06] Alisa**
What?
**[08:07] Broughston**
Magic control was taught by Mizett.
**[08:10] Broughston**
He hates anything bothersome,
**[08:11] Broughston**
so I'm impressed that he continued
teaching for two years.
**[08:14] Mizett**
Well, that's because the fella's gotta
be able to put up a magical defense.
**[08:19] Alicerette**
Me and Rikkun just played
with magic together.
**[08:24] Mizett**
If I'd slacked off, Rick-kun
would end up a pile of ash.
**[08:30] Broughston**
And he was trained in body
control by Reanette.
**[08:33] Alisa**
What? I thought you were a regular maid!
**[08:36] Mizett**
Those clothes are just
Reanette-chan's style.
**[08:38] Broughston**
Rick latched on to all the
training we gave him.
**[08:43] Broughston**
He already stands within the
realm of S-rank, the same as us.
**[08:46] Raster**
You seem to be built as
strong as you are simple.
**[08:50] Raster**
Let's keep things moving.
**[08:51] Raster**
Level-Four Nature Composed Magic, Shock Burn!
**[08:55] Alisa**
S-rank...?
**[08:58] Reanette**
Though he has no awareness of it himself.
**[09:05] (Flashback) Broughston**
You still have a long way to go.
**[09:06] (Flashback) Broughston**
Even an F-rank should destroy
this with one blow.
**[09:10] (Flashback) Rick**
Yes, sir.
**[09:12] Mizett**
That's the bossman's fault.
**[09:15] Raster**
That's right! You and that
geriatric examiner, both!
**[09:19] Raster**
All of you sub-third-rate laggards
who refuse to see reality
**[09:23] Raster**
deserve to be tormented by elites like me!
**[09:29] Freed**
He did it!
**[09:34] Raster**
I may have gotten a little worked up.
**[09:47] Raster**
That unnecessary resilience of
yours is starting to annoy me.
**[09:52] Angelica**
Really, who is this 40-something?
**[09:55] Raster**
Very well!
**[09:56] Raster**
I shall finish you off with my own hands.

Huh?

**[10:45] Raster**
It seems the timing of your counter
just happened to line up.
**[10:49] Raster**
But don't try to push your luck.
**[10:51] Raster**
O blazes of hell, bonfires of this
world, sacred flames of the heavens.
**[10:55] Raster**
By your heat, return all things
in nature to ash and ruin!
**[10:59] Freed**
That's Oniisama's full incantation magic!
**[11:02] Raster**
Level-Three Nature Composed
Magic, Flame Eliminate!
**[11:13] Rick**
Magic that's been thrown together so sloppily
doesn't really warrant more magic to block it.
**[11:19] Mizett**
He worked his magic with a high
degree of accuracy to block that.
**[11:23] Mizett**
He didn't even use a hundred thousandth
of the energy his opponent did.
**[11:27] Mizett**
Even someone with low magic
reserves like Rick-kun
**[11:29] Mizett**
can do that if they've got
precise magic control.
**[11:32] Raster**
I'm amazed you can be that cocky just
because of a series of coincidences.
**[11:36] Raster**
There won't be another.
**[11:38] Raster**
Flickering Feet, Thousandths!
**[11:39] Rick**
Too slow.
**[11:40] Raster**
Iron Body!
**[11:46] Angelica**
Oniisama used strengthening magic,
but the 40-something didn't?
**[11:50] Angelica**
I knew it. He just isn't normal.
**[11:53] Raster**
I see. It seems you possess
abilities above those of E-rank.
**[11:58] Raster**
I'll admit that.
**[12:00] Raster**
And I've grown tired from testing
more examinees than I'd planned on.
**[12:05] Raster**
In addition to which, chance has
repeatedly taken your side.
**[12:09] Raster**
Your luck certainly is good for
a lowly, sub-third-rate oaf.
**[12:14] Rick**
Just how reluctant are you to acknowledge me?
**[12:17] Rick**
What I used wasn't even magic.
It was just body control!
**[12:21] Rick**
But my level of precision is far
superior to your strengthening magic!
**[12:26] Raster**
Then let me ask you something.
All you have is a modicum of magic.
**[12:31] Raster**
So how did you, at your age,
get so strong in just two years?
**[12:37] Rick**
You're asking me how?
**[12:39] Rick; background**
Let me out! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!
**[12:41] Rick**
I wasn't allowed out of the dragon's
lair until I'd defeated it.
**[12:44] Rick; background**
It's hot! I'm gonna die!
It's hot! I'm gonna die!
**[12:45] Rick**
I ran through a succession of explosions.
**[12:48] Rick; background**
I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die. I'm gonna die.
**[12:48] Rick**
I swam through monster capture
fluid until I choked on it.
**[12:53] Alisa**
Wait, wouldn't he have died
a few times doing that?
**[12:57] Broughston**
Yes, he died.
**[12:58] Alisa**
He *died*?!
**[13:00] Broughston**
If it's applied immediately after death,
my Heal can bring a person back to life.
**[13:06] Broughston**
It's by overcoming our physical limitations,
**[13:08] Broughston**
repeatedly breaking down and rebuilding
our bodies, that we become stronger.
**[13:12] Mizett**
Rick-kun really did hang in there.
**[13:17] (Flashback) Mizett**
Right, then! Let's go, Rick-kun.
**[13:19] (Flashback) Rick**
Huh? This is way too hi—
**[13:22] (Flashback) Mizett**
Feel the wind with your whole body!
**[13:25] (Flashback) Mizett**
You'll develop a sense of
being able to see the wind!
**[13:30] (Flashback) Mizett**
Bossman! Can we get a Heal over here?
**[13:36] (Flashback) Alicerette**
There!
**[13:37] (Flashback) Rick**
Level-One Nature Composed Magic, Air—
**[13:57] (Flashback) Reanette**
The trick is to make use of the
weight of the falling objects.
**[14:01] (Flashback) Rick**
I-I see!
**[14:08] (Flashback) Rick**
I don't think that's the only trick to this.
**[14:13] Raster**
Those are terrible lies.
**[14:15] Raster**
Even if such severe training were to exist,
**[14:18] Raster**
what could possibly have
been your motivation?
**[14:21] Rick**
I'm just like Laurotte-san,
the man you injured.
**[14:25] Rick**
My dream was my motivation.
**[14:27] Raster**
Yes, yes. Dreams, right?
**[14:29] Raster**
So, what's your dream?
**[14:31] Rick**
To defeat the world's strongest monster,
Kaiser Alsapiet!
**[14:39] Freed**
Oneesama, he's just an idiot!
**[14:45] Raster**
Come now. Are you saying
that in all seriousness?
**[14:48] Alisa**
Kaiser Alsapiet.
**[14:51] Alisa**
Isn't that the ultimate monster that appears
in the *Legends of the Hero Yamato*?
**[14:56] Reanette**
Yes, it is.
**[14:58] Broughston**
That is also our, Orichalcum
Fist's, ultimate goal.
**[15:03] Raster**
*The Legends of the Hero Yamato*
are just bedtime stories!
**[15:07] Raster**
Defeating Alsapiet is the
dream of a small child.
**[15:11] Rick**
If you think they're just
stories, that's fine.
**[15:13] Rick**
It has nothing to do with you, anyway.
**[15:16] Raster**
That's true. And I can't be bothered
with your nonsense anymore.
**[15:20] Raster**
I think it's time to put an end to this.
**[15:22] Raster**
Level-Seven Nature Composed Magic, Forest Rope!
**[15:28] Rick**
Level Seven without a full incantation?
You're pretty handy at this.
**[15:32] Raster**
Don't be surprised just yet.
**[15:34] Raster**
I'll show you what true talent is and make it
so you never utter another arrogant word.
**[15:41] Raster**
Trembling woods, wailing groves,
**[15:44] Raster**
tree of calamity, bud of tragedy,
all things in nature,
**[15:48] Raster**
confronted by the laws of impermanence,
all shall bow their heads!
**[15:54] Rick**
This incantation...
**[15:55] Raster**
Now watch! This is the greatest
magic a human can wield,
**[16:00] Raster**
Level-Eight Nature Composed Magic!
**[16:02] Raster**
The greatest magic that I, the Man
of a Thousand Abilities, possess!
**[16:25] Freed**
There it is! Oniisama's killer move!
**[16:28] Angelica**
Get him, I say!
**[16:30] Alisa**
This is the first time I've seen
Level-Eight Nature Composed Magic.
**[16:36] Raster**
Now, grovel before me!
**[16:39] Raster**
I shall use this to finish you!
**[16:46] Raster**
Is that an Air Shot?
**[16:48] Raster**
What are you planning to
do with such basic magic?
**[16:51] Rick**
Punch straight through!
**[16:54] Raster**
Are you so full of yourself that
you've grown desperate now?
**[16:57] Rick**
How many times have you used
that magic, including practice?
**[17:01] Raster**
No idea. After all, I mastered it
after only a handful of times.
**[17:06] Rick**
I've used this magic a
hundred million times.
**[17:10] Freed**
A hundred million times? That's clearly
a bluff, you stupid 40-ish peasant.
**[17:15] Alisa**
A hundred million times in two years?
**[17:18] Alisa**
Isn't that physically impossible?
**[17:21] Broughston**
It's possible with the use
of special space-time magic.
**[17:24] Broughston**
Rick has actually done what he said.
**[17:27] Raster**
Enough! I'm tired of listening
to your inane lies!
**[17:31] Raster**
Now, I'll do exactly as I did
to that geriatric examiner
**[17:34] Raster**
and smash that ridiculous
dream of yours to pieces!
**[17:45] Raster**
Level-Eight Nature Composed Magic,
Yggdrasil God Impact!
**[17:51] Rick**
Level-One Nature Composed Magic, Air Shot!
**[17:58] Raster**
Now I will crush you,
you sub-third-rate oaf!
**[18:18] Raster**
No, it can't be! This just can't
happen to a noble like me!
**[18:31] Anglica**
O-Oniisama?
**[18:35] Rick**
What's wrong, Mister Super First-Rate Elite?
**[18:39] Rick**
My dream is still completely unharmed.
**[18:42] crowd**
Who'd have thought he'd beat Raster?
**[18:45] crowd**
He looks like any ordinary old guy.
**[18:47] Alisa**
Senpai, you're incredible!
**[18:59] Reanette**
Well done. It was a good fight.
**[19:02] Broughston**
It was a magnificent strike.
**[19:04] Mizett**
Yeah, I was—
**[19:05] Alicerette**
Rikkun, congratulations!
**[19:06] Mizett**
Hey! And no one can see me with you there!
**[19:09] Rick**
Thank you.
**[19:10] Alisa**
Senpai! You were so amazing out there!
**[19:13] Rick**
Was I?
**[19:17] Rick**
I've gotten quite a lot stronger, haven't I?
**[19:20] Rick**
Actually, why did I have the wrong
idea about that all this time?
**[19:24] Rick**
Truly, thank you all so very much.
**[19:27] Reanette**
Please, lift your head, Rick-sama.
**[19:30] Mizett**
That's right. Getting all formal like
that just makes things awkward.
**[19:34] Alicerette**
Instead of all that, let's go eat something!
**[19:37] Broughston**
You did well, Rick.
**[19:42] Raster**
I'm fine!
**[19:43] Angelica**
Well, you don't look fine at all!
**[19:46] Freed**
Hurry up and get yourself treated!
**[19:48] Raster**
I'm telling you, I'm fine.
**[19:50] Rick**
Hey, North—no, Raster!
**[19:55] Rick**
You're wondering how you,
a genius and an elite,
**[19:57] Rick**
could have lost to a
late-starter like me, right?
**[20:01] Raster**
What now? Did you come just
to make snide remarks?
**[20:04] Freed**
Hey, you 40-something! My brother is—
**[20:07] Freed**
Oneesama?
**[20:09] Rick**
I limited the number of techniques I use,
and I trained myself exhaustively in them.
**[20:13] Rick**
First, you should refine a single technique
until you feel like you'll vomit blood.
**[20:19] Rick**
This is just some advice
from a senpai in life.
**[20:22] Rick**
I have high hopes for you,
my adventuring senpai!
**[20:32] Raster**
At your next promotion test,
I will be your examiner again.
**[20:38] Raster**
And when that happens,
I will be the one who wins.
**[20:41] Raster**
You'd better be ready, third-rater.
**[20:44] Freed**
Oniisama!
**[20:54] Angelica**
Come, Raster-oniisama.
**[21:03] announcement**
*Thank you for waiting.*
**[21:05] announcement**

I made it!
**[21:31] Alisa**
Um, should we really have come
here before the announcement?
**[21:35] Broughston**
It's fine.
**[21:36] Mizett**
We're actually being considerate here.
**[21:39] Mizett**
Hey, miss! What time do you get off work?
**[21:43] announcement**
* These are the examinees with numbers*
* 4050 and higher who have passed.*
**[21:47] announcement**
* Number 4055. Number 4057.*
* Number 4060. Number 4065.*
**[21:52] Reanette**
Rick-sama, you seem calm.
**[21:55] Reanette**
You were so nervous when you
passed the preliminary exam.
**[21:58] Rick**
Yes, well...
**[22:01] Rick**
I was just remembering a few things.

You were so nervous when you

**[00:13] Rick**
Yes, well...
**[00:15] Rick**
I was just remembering a few things.
**[00:19] little Rick**
"By defeating the ultimate
monster, Kaiser Alsapiet,
**[00:23] little Rick**
a person will obtain a treasure which can
grant any wish—the Akashic Records.
**[00:28] little Rick**
But I was unable to defeat that monster.
**[00:33] little Rick**
One of the children who now
dream of becoming an adventurer
**[00:36] little Rick**
will be able to obtain that treasure
**[00:38] little Rick**
and have their wishes granted.
I truly believe that."
**[00:42] Rick's dad**
What? An adventurer?
**[00:44] Rick**
Yeah! I'm gonna be just like Yamato.
**[00:47] Rick's mom**
But adventuring is a dangerous job.
You might die at any time.
**[00:51] Rick's mom**
I'd prefer if you pursued a different path.
**[00:54] Rick's dad**
How long will you keep believing in
that *Legends of Yamato* hogwash?
**[00:58] Rick's dad**
You should aim for a decent, stable job.
**[01:05] medical examiner**
Congratulations.
**[01:06] medical examiner**
We found a marker indicating
that you have an inborn skill.
**[01:09] little Rick**
I do?
**[01:11] medical examiner**
People who have the marker
are rare, but you're one of them.
**[01:14] medical examiner**
Though we don't yet know
what your inborn skill is.
**[01:17] little Rick**
Y-You mean I have the same
kind of power as Yamato?
**[01:19] medical examiner**
Y-Yamato? Oh, you mean from
the *Legends of Yamato.*
**[01:22] medical examiner**
Yes, you do.
**[01:24] little Rick**
I have that kind of amazing power?
**[01:27] medical examiner**
That said, it isn't something that
you can manifest through training,
**[01:30] medical examiner**
so just relax and wait for it to come.
**[01:34] little Rick**
This is it! This is really it!
**[01:37] little Rick**
I have an inborn skill just like Yamato!
**[01:40] little Rick**
Once my skill manifests,
I'll proudly declare to Mom and Dad...
**[01:48] little Rick**
I'm gonna be an adventurer!

**[03:33] friend A**
Hey, did your skill show up yet?
**[03:35] little Rick**
Not yet. It's not gonna show up in one day.
**[03:40] friend A**
Hey, did your skill show up yet?
**[03:42] little Rick**
Not yet. Don't rush me.
**[03:46] friend A**
It's been a year, right?
Your skill still hasn't shown up?
**[03:50] little Rick**
It probably won't show up
while I'm still a kid.
**[04:01] friend A**
There are cases where people didn't manifest
a skill even though they had the marker.
**[04:06] middle school Rick**
I know.
**[04:08] friend A**
Then why don't you just become
an adventurer in the meantime?
**[04:11] friend B**
There are a lot of adventurers
who don't have a skill, right?
**[04:14] friend A**
And I heard you can make crazy money.
**[04:17] middle school Rick**
That isn't what being an
adventurer is about for me.
**[04:26] Rick's mom**
You found a place to work?
**[04:29] middle school Rick**
Yes, I was hired as a receptionist
at a guild called Tiger Road.
**[04:33] Rick's dad**
That's a respectable job, and it's stable.
**[04:37] Rick's dad**
I'm proud of you.

Congratulations!
I'll have to cook up a feast!
**[05:49] Alisa**
Commission number 3457,
**[05:52] Alisa**
the suppression of a large outbreak of slimes,
has been confirmed completed.
**[05:57] Alisa**
Um, the reward is...
**[06:00] Rick**
Slime elimination, right?
**[06:02] Rick**
Your reward comes to twenty thousand luc.
**[06:04] wizard; male**
Thanks, old man!
**[06:06] Rick**
I'm only 30, though.
**[06:09] Alisa**
Thank you so much.
**[06:10] Rick**
Oh, sure. Take your time.
There's no need to rush.
**[06:15] Alisa**
Yes, sir!
**[06:16] Rick**
Oh, and also...
**[06:18] Rick**
Monsters have been appearing in town lately,
so I think a quest will be announced soon.
**[06:23] Alisa**
It sounds like things are getting dangerous.
**[06:25] Rick**
Monsters that have been driven out of their
lairs are wandering into town, that's all.
**[06:29] Rick**
They're mostly low-level monsters,
so I think it'll be a D-rank quest.
**[06:33] Alisa**
Then I'll go and get things ready so
that we can handle the matter quickly!
**[06:38] Zaid**
Hey, Rick!
**[06:40] Rick**
What is it, Zaid? That's a
creepy look on your face.
**[06:44] Zaid**
Take a look at this.
**[06:45] Rick**
A B-rank medal? Don't tell me you...
**[06:47] Zaid**
That's right! I've been promoted!
**[06:50] Zaid**
Now I can finally make a living
through adventuring alone!
**[06:56] Rick**
Congratulations, Zaid!
**[06:59] Rick**
Zaid is B-rank now?
**[07:05] Rick**
Compared to him, I...
**[07:08] Rick**
I've sat in the same place for 14 years,
doing the same work over and over.
**[07:15] Rick; internal**

**[07:29] Rick**
What's the point in thinking about this now?
**[07:33] townsperson B; male**
Monsters!
**[07:35] Rick**
Again? There really have
been a lot of them lately.
**[07:44] Rick**
Is that...
**[07:46] Rick**
A troll? No, wait.
**[07:48] Rick**
A giant troll?!
**[07:50] Rick; internal**
*What's a mid-level monster doing here?*
**[07:58] Rick**
Look out!
**[08:04] Reanette**
Please, stand back.
**[08:06] Rick**
Huh?
**[08:15] Reanette**
Thank you for trying to save me.
**[08:19] Reanette**
But there is no need for concern.

I meant to step in and save you,

Thank you.
**[08:48] Reanette**
Not at all.
**[08:49] Rick**
What's your name?

My name is Reanette Elfelt.

Reanette-san, you were so powerful

**[09:00] Reanette**
No.
**[09:01] Rick**
Then, you're A-rank?
**[09:02] Rick**
This is the first time I've seen

**[09:31] Rick**
I have a weird question to ask.
**[09:33] Rick**
Will you listen without laughing at me?
**[09:35] Reanette**
Please, don't worry.
**[09:37] Reanette**
In the nine years that have passed since I
was eight years old, I have never laughed.
**[09:41] Rick**
That actually makes me worry.
**[09:43] Rick**
Th-The thing is, I...
**[09:46] Rick**
Since I was a kid, I've dreamed of becoming
an adventurer and defeating Kaiser Alsapiet!
**[09:52] Rick**
And I have an inborn skill
that hasn't manifested yet.
**[09:56] Rick**
But, that aside...
**[09:58] Rick**
If I tried to become an adventurer now,
when I'm 30, do you think I'd make it?
**[10:07] Reanette**
In the earlier incident,
**[10:09] Reanette**
I saw that you possess courage,
which is important for adventurers.
**[10:14] Rick**
You mean...
**[10:15] Reanette**
However, if you work as
a Guild receptionist,
**[10:18] Reanette**
then you are aware of
magical reserves, correct?
**[10:22] Rick**
It's hard to develop
except when you're young, right?
**[10:25] Reanette**
Hard to develop doesn't begin to describe it.
It is basically impossible.
**[10:30] Reanette**
Considering that a certain amount of magical
reserves are necessary for an adventurer,
**[10:35] Reanette**
to be honest, this is the
only answer I can give you.
**[10:39] Reanette**
If you were to try to become
an adventurer now...
**[10:42] Reanette**
there is no chance
that you would make it.
**[10:49] Rick**
I see. Yeah, that makes sense.
**[10:52] Rick**
I feel better somehow.
**[10:54] Rick**
Thanks to getting a reality check
from a super first-rate adventurer,
**[10:57] Rick**
I can stop clinging to this dream
I should've given up years ago.
**[11:01] Reanette**
I am very sorry.
**[11:03] Rick**
It's all right!
**[11:04] Rick**
Thank you for telling me the truth!
**[11:06] Rick**
Plus, I got to meet a lovely lady like
you today, so I'm in a great mood!
**[11:09] Rick**
How about it? Want to grab a meal
together sometime? Just kidding!
**[11:13] Reanette**
All right.
**[11:15] Rick**
What?
**[11:16] Reanette**
I'm free tomorrow.
Will that work for you?
**[11:26] Rick**
Tiger!
**[11:29] Alisa**
S-Senpai, you're in a really good mood today.
**[11:33] Rick**
Yeah, I am! Let's step it up and
work even harder today, Alisa-kun!
**[11:37] Alisa**
Who are you?!
**[11:38] Zaid**
Zaid, B-rank, has arrived!
**[11:40] Zaid**
I've come for my first B-rank que—
**[11:42] Rick**
We have it right here!
**[11:44] Rick**
This is a shadow wolf hunt!
**[11:46] Rick**
Best of luck to you!
**[11:47] Zaid**
What's wrong with him?!
**[11:48] Rick**
La la la! La la la!
**[11:50] Rick; internal**
* Having dinner with a girl that cute?*
* I guess my life isn't trash just yet!*
**[11:55] Rick; internal**
* If tonight goes well,*
* maybe we could even start dating!*
**[11:58] townsperson C; male**
Monsters!
**[12:00] townsperson D; male**
Monsters have appeared again!
**[12:01] Rick; internal**
*Why does it have to be today?!*
**[12:04] Rick; internal**
* The number of sightings lately*
* just isn't normal!*
**[12:09] Rick**
Reanette!
**[12:11] Reanette**
Rick-sama.
**[12:13] Reanette**
Good evening.
**[12:14] Rick**
It looks like there was
no need for me to worry.
**[12:25] Rick**
What is all this?
**[12:26] Reanette**
Please leave this to me.
**[12:29] Rick**
R-Right. I'd only slow you down anyway.
I'll let you handle it.
**[12:35] Reanette**
Now, then.
**[12:39] Reanette**
Guillotine Swordmaiden Reanette Elfelt,
commencing battle.
**[12:55] Rick**
This is S-rank.
**[12:57] Rick**
She's beyond amazing.
***SIGN*** Guillotine
Swordmaiden
**[13:14] Rick**
What is it, Reanette?
**[13:31] Rick**
R-Reanette?
**[13:34] Rick**
What's wrong?!
**[13:36] Reanette**
This magical energy is...
**[13:43] Zain**
Hey, Rick!
**[13:44] Zain**
This place reeks of monsters
and you pick it for a date?
**[13:46] Rick**
Zaid?
**[13:50] Rick**
That's...
**[13:51] Rick**
They pick up quests with us all the time.
**[13:54] fighter; female**
Forceful Fist!
**[13:57] Zaid**
The Guild put together an emergency quest.
**[14:00] Zaid**
You and the girl should stand back.
**[14:02] Rick**
R-Right!
**[14:03] wizard; male**
Level-Four Nature Composed Magic,
Blizzard Rockshot!
**[14:07] fighter; female**
Stone Shattershot!
**[14:12] Zaid**
O sword of wind, with your
blade cut all things asunder,
**[14:15] Zaid**
Level-Four Nature Composed Magic,
Hurricane Cutter!
**[14:21] Rick; internal**
*Blast it!*
**[14:23] Rick; internal**
*This is how adventurers fight?*
**[14:26] Rick; internal**
* I thought I'd given up already,*
* but I still feel jealous!*
**[14:29] Reanette**
Rick-sama...
**[14:31] Reanette**
Rick-sama, it's dangerous here.
**[14:32] Rick**
Oh, sorry!
**[14:34] Rick**
It's all right now.
Zaid is here, and he's B-rank.
**[14:37] Reanette**
No, that won't be nearly enough.
**[14:39] Rick**
What?
**[14:40] Reanette**
Very close to here... there is a dragon.
**[14:43] Rick**
A-A dragon?
**[14:45] Reanette**
This body of mine has a traumatic reaction...
**[14:49] Reanette**
Every time I feel a dragon's magic, I lose
control of the magic within my own body.
**[14:55] Rick**
But a dragon would never appear
all the way out here.
**[15:11] Zaid**
You can't be serious.
**[15:13] Zaid**
Why is it in a human town?
**[15:15] Rick**
This was the reason!
The monsters were all running from this!
**[15:24] Zaid**
According to the adventurers' cardinal rules,
**[15:26] Zaid**
when anyone lower than A-rank
encounters a dragon...
**[15:35] wizard; male**
Shock Burn!
**[15:38] Zaid**
What are you doing?
**[15:39] fighter; female**
You idiot!
**[15:50] Zaid**
Blast it. There's no way
we can fight this thing.
**[15:53] Zaid**
Everyone, run!
**[15:58] fighter; female**
What is this?
**[15:59] Zaid**
That dragon put up a barrier!
**[16:03] Zaid**
Crap! It isn't budging!
**[16:05] fighter; female**
It isn't planning on letting us get away.
**[16:11] Zaid**
Well, guess we're goners.
**[16:15] Zaid**
What are you doing, Rick? You're
a receptionist! What can you do?
**[16:19] Rick**
At this rate, we're all going to die anyway.
**[16:22] Rick**
But I thought that
if I stand up to that thing,
**[16:25] Rick**
then maybe I could die as an adventurer.
**[16:30] Rick; internal**
* That said, there's no way we can*
* put up any kind of fight here.*
**[16:34] Rick; internal**
* If it even pokes me with a claw tip,*
* I'll be ripped to shreds.*
**[16:38] Rick; internal**
* I feel better after giving up my dream.*
* That's what I thought.*
**[16:41] Rick; internal**
*But...*
**[16:42] Rick; internal**
*my blood is boiling.*
**[16:45] Rick; internal**
*Right. That's right.*
**[16:47] Rick; internal**
*All this time, I've always...*
**[16:51] Rick; internal**
*wanted to live this way!*
**[17:00] Zaid**
Hey, guys!
**[17:02] Zaid**
We adventurers aren't gonna let a
receptionist take point, are we?
**[17:06] fighter; female**
You're right.
**[17:06] Zaid**
Let's go!
**[17:10] wizard; male**
Level-Four Nature Composed Magic,
Hurricane Cutter!
**[17:20] Zaid**
This is bad. It's gonna use its breath!
**[17:22] Zaid**
Iron Body!
**[17:32] Zaid**
B-Blast it. So, this is the end?
**[17:37] Reanette**
If I... If only I could fight the dragon...
**[17:53] Rick**
I...
**[17:54] Rick**
I will...
**[17:56] Rick**
I will make my dream...
**[17:58] Reanette**
Rick-sama!
**[18:05] Zaid**
R-Rick.
**[18:16] system voice**
*You have acquired a skill.*
**[18:24] Reanette**
I-It can't be...
**[18:32] Zaid**
What is that? Is that really Rick?
**[18:36] Reanette**
There's so much magic overflowing
from him that it's actually visible.
**[18:39] Rick**
I heard a voice.
**[18:41] Rick**
This is my inborn skill!
**[18:44] Rick**
What took you so long, stupid?
**[18:49] Rick**
All right, come on, you big lizard!
**[18:51] Rick**
You're gonna help me test out my new skill!
***SIGN*** Brute Valor Awakened
**[19:39] Rick**
Not bad, I'd say.
**[19:51] Rick**
It hurts!
**[19:53] Reanette**
Please stay still.
**[19:57] Rick**
Reanette?
**[19:58] Reanette**
Every magic circuit in your body was destroyed.
**[20:01] Reanette**
You were as good as dead.
**[20:04] Rick**
How long have I slept?
**[20:07] Reanette**
It has been a week.
**[20:08] Rick**
A week? It's been that long?!
**[20:11] Rick**
Have you been waiting for me all that time?
**[20:14] Reanette**
Yes.
**[20:15] Rick**
Why?
**[20:18] Reanette**
In order to invite you to join the party
I belong to, Orichalcum Fist.
**[20:25] Rick**
Me?
**[20:26] Reanette**
Our party's objective is the same as yours:
**[20:30] Reanette**
to defeat Kaiser Alsapiet.
**[20:34] Rick**
B-But that means...
**[20:35] Reanette**
Yes.
**[20:36] Reanette**
Kaiser Alsapiet actually exists.
**[20:38] Reanette**
And, since you, Rick-sama, fought on
courage alone, without giving up,
**[20:44] Reanette**
you should be able to grow stronger,
even now, and fight alongside us.
**[20:50] Reanette**
I offer you my guarantee.
**[20:52] Reanette**
You can become an adventurer.
**[20:59] Rick**
That's the first time
anyone's said that to me.
**[21:05] Rick**
It's really all right for me
to give it a shot?
**[21:10] Rick**
It's really all right... for me
to become an adventurer, right?
**[21:15] Rick**
Even though I took the long way around?
**[21:19] Reanette**
Yes.
**[21:28] announcement**
*Number 4237. Number 4240. Number 4241.*
**[21:35] announcement**
*Number 4242.*
**[21:37] announcement**
*Number 4244.*
**[21:41] Reanette**
Congratulations.
**[21:43] Reanette**
Now you are officially a
fully qualified adventurer.
**[21:46] Rick**
Yes, thanks to all of you.
**[21:56] Rick**
To the me I was up until this day,
I say, thank you for not giving up.
**[22:04] Rick**
I...
**[22:05] (Flashback) little Rick**
I...
**[22:07] (Flashback) little Rick**
am gonna be an adventurer!
**[22:11] Rick**
am an adventurer!

**[00:04] Laurotte**
They certainly live very
deep in the mountains.
**[00:10] (Flashback) Laurotte**
Rick-kun, congratulations on passing.
**[00:13] (Flashback) Rick**
Thank you.
**[00:15] (Flashback) Laurotte**
I'm due to be discharged from the
hospital soon. When I am, how about it?
**[00:19] (Flashback) Laurotte**
Can we go get that drink we talked about?
**[00:20] (Flashback) Rick**
Sounds good! Where should we go?
**[00:24] (Flashback) Laurotte**
The truth is, I'm interested in your party.
**[00:27] (Flashback) Laurotte**
If it wouldn't pose a problem,
could I pay them a visit?
**[00:31] (Flashback) Laurotte**
What does that face mean?!
**[00:34] Laurotte**
He said that if I insist on coming,
I should wear my most powerful equipment.
**[00:38] Laurotte**
Not sure why, though.
**[00:42] Laurotte**
Arcust District, Number 13,
**[00:45] Laurotte**
Wiegheil Castle.
**[00:51] Laurotte**
Huh? Did I get the directions confused
with ones to the Demon Lord's castle?

**[02:33] Laurotte**
I guess it's this door.
**[02:39] Laurotte**
Rick-kun!
**[02:46] Rick**
Welcome!
**[02:47] Laurotte**
*That's* the entrance?!
**[02:50] Rick**
I'm sorry to make you come
all the way out here.
**[02:53] Laurotte**
Now that I think about it, I didn't
see any monsters in the vicinity.
**[02:58] Rick**
Oh. They don't come near here.
**[03:01] Laurotte**
Then why am I wearing this equipment?
**[03:05] Rick**
So that you don't end up in a casket.
**[03:07] Laurotte**
What's that supposed to mean?!
**[03:12] Reanette**
Welcome, Laurotte-sama.
**[03:16] Laurotte**
Thank you for having me,
and thank you for before.
**[03:20] Alicerette**
Rikkun!
**[03:23] Laurotte; internal**
*There's a girl as young as her here, too?*
**[03:25] Laurotte; internal**
* I hope my daughter grows up*
* as happy and strong as her.*
**[03:31] Alicerette**
Boom!
**[03:33] Laurotte; internal**
* That's a level-six spell!*
* She cast it with just the word "Boom"?*
**[03:44] Laurotte**
I'm o... kay?
**[03:47] Rick**
Senpai!
**[03:49] Rick**
I've told you about twenty-three thousand
times not to cast magic in the castle!
**[03:53] Alicerette**
But Rikkun, we haven't
played together lately.
**[03:57] Laurotte**
Senpai? Play?
**[04:00] Reanette**
Alicerette-sama, we will deduct the
cost of repairs from your food budget.
**[04:07] Alicerette**
Ree-chan, I'm sorry! I won't do it
anymore, so please don't give me less food!
**[04:16] Rick**
I'm going to go spend some time
with Alicerette-senpai.
**[04:20] Rick**
If I don't, she'll do it again.
**[04:24] Reanette**
Please make yourself at home.
**[04:30] Laurotte**
Given the size of this place, I couldn't
possibly go around and see all of it.
**[04:42] Laurotte**
Pardon me for interrupting while you're busy.
**[04:45] Mizett**
Oh, you're that friend of Rick-kun's
he said was coming.
**[04:50] Laurotte**
Yes. My name is Laurotte.
**[04:53] Mizett**
Mizett. Pleased t'make your acquaintance.
**[04:55] Laurotte**
Is that handicraft made of iron?
**[04:58] Mizett**
The Ultra Flamecannon-kun
Number 6, Patricia, Revised.
**[05:03] Mizett**
Making things of this sort
is an 'obby of mine.
**[05:07] Laurotte**
Like this?
**[05:09] Mizett**
Now, you just send your magic
into it an' pull the trigger.
**[05:13] Mizett**
That's the target just there.
**[05:15] Laurotte**
By "trigger," you mean... this?
**[05:30] Mizett**
Not too shabby. Gonna have to revise it
to dampen that recoil just a touch.
**[05:35] Laurotte**
If something like this were mass-produced,
war would change forever!
**[05:45] Laurotte; internal**
*Just what kind of place is this?*
**[05:52] Laurotte; internal**
*An orc?!*
**[05:56] Broughston**
So, you're our guest.
You may come in if you like.
**[06:01] Laurotte**
Yes, excuse me. I'll come in.
**[06:08] Laurotte**
Wow.
**[06:10] Laurotte**
You have an incredible number of books.
**[06:13] Broughston**
These are my private rooms and my library.
**[06:16] Broughston**
Being surrounded by books
like this calms me.
**[06:20] Laurotte; internal**
* He's quite intellectual.*
* Is he a member of the party, too?*
**[06:24] Laurotte**
Have you read all of these?
**[06:27] Broughston**
Most of them. However, lately,
I've been helping Rick with his training,
**[06:32] Broughston**
so the number of books
I haven't read has increased.
**[06:35] Laurotte**
Then, it was you who carried out
most of Rick-kun's training?
**[06:39] Broughston**
It is as you say. Are you interested?
**[06:42] Laurotte**
I am! If you wouldn't mind,
may I have a lesson from you?
**[06:52] Broughston**
I like the look in your eyes.
**[06:53] Broughston**
I sense the same light I see in Rick.
**[06:57] Rick**
What did you say?
**[06:58] Mizett**
That's right. Headed right off into the
forest with the guv, Broughston, in high spirits.
**[07:04] Rick**
Laurotte-san!
**[07:06] Rick**
How could you be so rash?!
**[07:09] Laurotte**
I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die! I'm gonna die!
**[07:14] Laurotte**
Lateena, Lillia, father won't be...
**[07:24] Laurotte**
I'm o... kay?
**[07:28] Laurotte**
This is...
**[07:29] Reanette**
Provisions for dinner.
**[07:33] Laurotte**
Reanette-san, is that you?
**[07:37] Laurotte**
Thank you. You really saved me there.
**[07:40] Reanette**
These weights... It was
Broughston-sama, wasn't it?
**[07:45] Laurotte**
He told me to run down a slope so
steep it was basically a cliff.
**[07:48] Laurotte**
He pushed me.
**[07:50] (Flashback) Broughston**
Go.
**[07:52] Laurotte**
If you hadn't been here, I'd have died.
**[07:55] Reanette**
Yes. Broughston-sama is the one who caused
Rick-sama's death the most often.
**[08:01] Laurotte**
May I pretend I didn't hear that?
**[08:05] Broughston**
There you are.
**[08:09] Broughston**
Now, we'll continue your training.
**[08:19] Laurotte**
It's nice to be alive, isn't it?
**[08:23] Rick**
I told you, didn't I?!
**[08:25] Laurotte**
Broughston-san said he'd
give me a little light training.
**[08:30] Rick**
You can't ever believe phrases like that
from Broughston-san and the others.
**[08:35] Broughston**
A little light training.
**[08:37] Alice**
I won't do it anymore.
**[08:39] Mizett**
I'll take it seriously.
**[08:40] Rick**
Those are the three statements from
Orichalcum Fist you must never believe!
**[08:46] Mizett**
Rick-kun, you exaggerate.
**[08:48] Broughston**
Indeed. I need only bring him
back to life as I usually do.
**[08:52] Rick**
What do you think a person's
life is, exactly?
**[08:55] Alicerette**
I want to play with him, too!
**[08:57] Rick**
He'll end up a pile of ash, so no!
**[08:59] Mizett**
You should've known this'd happen, Rick-kun.
**[09:03] Mizett**
It's your own fault for invitin' him, innit?
**[09:05] Rick**
I have no response to that!
**[09:14] Reanette**
I'll have dinner ready soon.
If you'll wait just a moment, please.
**[09:26] Laurotte**
She's a really good person, isn't she?
**[09:27] Rick**
Huh? Oh. Yes, she is.
**[09:32] Laurotte**
So, how far have you gone?
**[09:34] Rick**
Oh, things aren't like
that at all between us.
**[09:38] Rick**
Besides, I'm a dull man in my thirties.
**[09:41] Laurotte**
An age gap like that should be fine.
**[09:44] Laurotte**
My wife and I are 20 years apart.
**[09:47] Rick**
What?!
**[09:48] Laurotte**
Basically, it's all about timing.
**[09:51] Laurotte**
Once the feelings between the two of you
align, the rest will happen in a flash.
**[09:56] Rick**
Your words are surprisingly convincing.
**[10:08] Laurotte**
This is delicious, Reanette-san.
**[10:11] Reanette**
Thank you.
**[10:13] Rick**
Please eat lots, Laurotte-san.
**[10:17] Laurotte**
Thank you.
**[10:17] Alicerette**
Ree-chan, another serving!
**[10:20] Mizett**
Another of these and
something to go with it.
**[10:22] Broughston**
And some wine, please.
**[10:24] Broughston**
We should have a 60-year-old bottle
from the Lestroa area.
**[10:28] Reanette**
I'll bring them at once.
**[10:33] Laurotte**
This is what I meant when
I talked about timing.
**[10:36] Laurotte**
If you're quick and clever in helping her,
it'll bring the two of you much closer.
**[10:40] Rick**
I-I see what you mean!
**[10:42] Rick**
Reanette! I'll help you!
**[10:47] Laurotte**
That reminds me, Rick-kun has
an inborn skill, doesn't he?
**[10:52] Laurotte**
I'd like to see it at least once.
**[10:54] Broughston**
Rick's skill is the type that is
activated by certain conditions.
**[10:57] Broughston**
He can't control its activation himself.
**[11:00] Mizett**
Would've been better if it were the type
that was always active or activated voluntarily.
**[11:06] Laurotte**
Even so, just the fact that he
has a skill makes me jealous.
**[11:09] Mizett**
The way he handles weapons
is tragic, though.
**[11:12] Broughston**
Even without his skill or weapons,
Rick already stands within the realm of S-rank.
**[11:17] Broughston**
But if his skill, Reckless Soul,
were to activate, he would surpass even us.
**[11:24] Laurotte**
It's that powerful?
**[11:30] Broughston**
Now, Laurotte.
**[11:32] Broughston**
As you work at Central,
there is something I wish to ask you.
**[11:36] Laurotte**
What is it?
**[11:38] Broughston**
Have you heard of the magic
stones known as the Six Jewels?
**[11:41] Laurotte**
The ones in the *Legends of Yamato*?
**[11:45] Rick**
Yes. Our goal is to defeat Kaiser Alsapiet.
**[11:51] Broughston**
The Six Jewels are magic stones
that open the door
**[11:55] Broughston**
to the Source Spiral,
where Kaiser Alsapiet sleeps.
**[12:01] Mizett**
The Six Jewels activate
every two hundred years.
**[12:05] Mizett**
Since we're at that part of their cycle,
they should be giving off mad amounts of magic.
**[12:10] Rick**
Have you heard about anything
that sounds like that?
**[12:14] Laurotte**
That legend is...
**[12:15] Laurotte**
No, if Rick and the others are talking
about it like this, then it must be real.
**[12:21] Laurotte**
I can't think of anything at the moment,
**[12:24] Laurotte**
but I'll see if I can find anything
in the Confidential Department.
**[12:28] Laurotte**
They handle undisclosed quests.
**[12:29] Broughston**
If you would. Thank you.
**[12:31] Laurotte**
Just leave it to me!
**[12:33] Rick**
Just wondering, do you have
any other good advice?
**[12:36] Laurotte**
What?
**[12:37] Rick; background**
Shall I cut that up?
**[12:38] Rick**
She's just so good at everything.
**[12:39] Rick; background**
These cabbages should be delicious!
**[12:41] Rick; background**
This is so light!
**[12:44] Rick**
The right timing wasn't
anywhere to be found!

**[13:04] Rei**
I'm an adventurer now.
Why am I doing cleaning work?
**[13:09] Rei**
I can defeat the monsters
that are usually around!
**[13:14] Rei**
Bam! Kaboom! I'd send them flying!
**[13:18] Broughston**
Then we shall accept that quest.
**[13:22] guildmaster**
I'm terribly sorry, but that isn't possible.
**[13:26] Broughston**
Why can't we take it on?
**[13:28] Broughston**
The quest's danger level is 82.
That shouldn't pose a problem for us.
**[13:33] Rei; internal**
*An orc that talks?*
**[13:35] Rei; internal**
*With a girl sitting on his shoulder?*
**[13:37] Rei; internal**
*And some old guy.*
**[13:38] Rei; internal**
*What's going on with this combination?*
**[13:41] guildmaster**
Yes, of course, I am painfully
aware of your capabilities.
**[13:47] Rei; internal**
* I've never seen the guild master be so*
* deferential with adventurers before.*
**[13:52] Rick**
This says the condition is two people A-rank
or higher in a party of four or more,
**[13:59] Rick**
so if we team up with someone,
we should be able to take it on.
**[14:03] Broughston**
That's a former receptionist for you.
**[14:05] Broughston**
Then, may we request for
someone to come and help us?
**[14:08] guildmaster**
Yes, I'll do it immediately!
**[14:12] guildmaster**
Rei! You said you wanted to go on a quest
with a high danger level, didn't you?
**[14:17] guildmaster**
This is a great opportunity!
What do you think about joining them?
**[14:21] guildmaster**
Oh, you'll go? Thank you!
**[14:23] Rei**
Yes, I did say that, and I welcome
the chance to hunt monsters, but...
**[14:29] Broughston**
So, you're our helper?
**[14:34] Rei**
You want me to go with the talking orc?
**[14:36] guildmaster**
Do you have a death wish?!
**[14:38] guildmaster**
These individuals are fully-fledged
adventurers! Incredibly so!
**[14:42] Rick**
Looking forward to working with you.
**[14:44] Rei; internal**
* The other two are a child*
* and an old guy, right?*
**[14:46] Rei; internal**
*In that case...*
**[14:49] Rei**
I suppose I have no choice.
I, Rei Lucas, will lend you my strength!
**[14:57] Broughston**
A little further ahead, I think.
**[15:00] Alicerette**
I sense something
coming from over there!
**[15:02] Rei**
Are you looking for something?
**[15:05] Rick**
Yes. Just a certain magic stone.
**[15:08] Rick**
We heard from a friend that
it might be in this area.
**[15:11] Rei**
Is it one that'll sell for a lot?
**[15:13] Rick**
We could probably set a high price for it,
**[15:15] Rick**
but it's dangerous to handle
without proper precautions.
**[15:18] Rick**
And it's capable of drawing monsters to it.
**[15:21] Rei**
Huh. Well, I can easily handle
any monster there is!
**[15:26] Rick**
Really?
**[15:28] Rei**
I'm F-rank right now,
but I'll end up A-rank in no time!
**[15:33] Rei**
You can brag that you know me!
**[15:36] Rick**
I'll have to work harder.
**[15:38] Rei**
Rick-san, what rank are you?
**[15:40] Rick**
I just got promoted to E-rank.
**[15:44] Rei; internal**
* So, he is just some late-starter*
* old man after all.*
**[15:47] Rei; internal**
*I don't want to end up like him.*
**[15:52] Alice**
Broughs-kun, over there!
**[15:54] Broughston**
Yes.
**[15:56] Reanette**
I wonder if Rick-sama and
the others are all right.
**[16:00] Mizett**
Broughston's there,
so they're likely just fine.
**[16:10] Mizett; internal**
*Activating stealth mode!*
**[16:19] Mizett; internal**
*Now!*
**[16:33] Mizett; internal**
*And now, the finish!*
**[16:35] Mizett; internal**
*Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!*
**[16:39] Mizett; internal**
*Flowers!*
**[16:42] Reanette**
What is this?
**[16:45] Mizett**
It creates wind without using magic,
it's the Workaholic Maicchin-kun!
**[16:50] Reanette**
What an interesting device.
**[17:04] Alicerette**
There it is!
**[17:05] Broughston**
The lair must be close.
**[17:08] Rei**
Th-Th-That's a wyvern!
**[17:13] Rei**
This is bad! This is bad!
**[17:15] Rei**
Just one of them is bad, but if
it calls more from their lair...
**[17:20] Rei**
Wait! Do you have some kind of plan?
**[17:22] Broughston**
A plan? Well, if I had to say...
**[17:28] Broughston**
Move.
**[17:33] Broughston**
The plan is to knock them down.
**[17:35] Rei**
Hey! What are you... If you do this,
more of them are gonna show up!
**[17:40] Broughston**
I refrained from killing it
for just that reason.
**[17:43] Rei**
Huh? That doesn't make any sense!
**[17:46] Rei**
Are you trying to become wyvern fodder
out here in the middle of the forest?!
**[17:48] Broughston**
You are quite noisy.
**[17:50] Broughston**
Rick.
**[17:50] Rei; background**
No way! No way! I don't want that to happen!
**[17:51] Rick**
Right.
**[17:54] Rick**
Come on, let's go. You don't want
to get turned to ash, right?
**[17:57] Rei**
If I stay here, I'll turn to ash?!
**[18:00] Rei**
I didn't hear anything about wyverns!
**[18:03] Rei**
Are you trying to get me killed?
That shortened my lifespan by 30 seconds!
**[18:07] Rick**
But Rei-chan, you're strong, right?
**[18:10] Rei**
I'm planning to be! I'm going
to get strong really fast!
**[18:15] Rei**
You could show me a little consideration!
**[18:25] Rei**
Huh? What's going on?
**[18:34] Alicerette**
Hup!
**[18:35] Alicerette**
Boom!
**[18:36] Alicerette**
Take that!
**[18:41] Rei**
This got thrown here from
all the way over there?
**[18:44] Rick**
Look out!
**[18:50] Rei**
A r-r-red wyvern?
**[18:53] Rei**
That's basically a dragon!
**[18:55] Rei**
An A-rank would have a hard time
against just one of them!
**[18:58] Rick**
That's true.
**[19:00] Rei**
We have to run!
**[19:01] Rick**
Yes. Rei-chan, you should
run as fast as you can.
**[19:04] Rei**
What are you doing?
**[19:06] Rick**
There's something I want to check.
**[19:09] Rei**
What are you talking about?
**[19:11] Rei**
No matter now many E- or F-rank people
we had here, we'd die in an instant!
**[19:15] Rick**
You can go ahead and escape.
**[19:18] Rei**
In that case, I'm in. I'll fight too!
**[19:23] Rick**
There's no need to stay here with me.
**[19:25] Rei**
I don't want to leave! It's only temporary,
but we're in the same party!
**[19:28] Rei**
Yamato would... Yamato would
never abandon his allies!
**[19:35] Rick**
Yes, you're right!
**[19:37] Rick**
Then, I'll leave the backup to you!
**[19:39] Rei**
Got it!
**[19:42] Rei**
Fly forth, waves of obstructing magic.
**[19:44] Rei**
Level-One Nature Composed Magic...
**[19:51] Rick**
Yes! All right! I really am strong!
**[19:54] Rei**
Wh-Why did you tell me to run?
**[19:58] Rei**
Why did you ask me for backup?
**[20:07] guildmaster**
Oh, Rei! Good work yesterday.
I'm glad you made it back alive.
**[20:14] guildmaster**
Why are you staring off like that?
**[20:16] Rei**
I'm sorry. Yesterday was a lot.
**[20:19] guildmaster**
I thought that might be the case.
**[20:22] guildmaster**
When they show up, nothing good ever happens.
**[20:26] (Flashback) Rick**
Well, we'll see you around.
**[20:27] (Flashback) Alicerette**
Bye-bye!
**[20:28] Rei**
What are you doing with that wyvern corpse?
**[20:31] (Flashback) Broughston**
Provisions.
**[20:33] (Flashback) Alicerette**
We're gonna eat it!
Ree-chan will cook it for us!
**[20:39] Rei**
I didn't know that wyverns
were meant to be eaten.
**[20:42] guildmaster**
Well, they're a special case.
**[20:45] guildmaster**
They're members of a party people say
is the strongest on the continent.
**[20:49] guildmaster**
They're all S-rank beasts.
**[20:51] Rei**
S-rank?
**[20:53] guildmaster**
And you learned your lesson, right?
**[20:54] guildmaster**
It's best for people to work
within their means.
**[20:58] Rei**
Do you think I can become S-rank, too?
**[21:00] guildmaster**
Weren't you listening to what I said?!
**[21:02] Rei**
It was all just too awesome!
Crazy doesn't begin to cover it!
**[21:07] Rei**
All right! First, I'll work
hard for the next E-rank test!
**[21:10] Rei**
With that decided, it's time to train!
**[21:14] guildmaster**
Finish your work!
**[21:17] Broughston**
One of the Six Jewels, Crimson Blossom.
**[21:20] Broughston**
It was deep within their lair.
**[21:22] Mizett**
And just as you'd expect, it's got
proper mad amounts of magic in it.
**[21:25] Broughston**
Using the resonance of this magic, we should
be able to find the remaining Six Jewels.
**[21:31] Broughston**
Do it, please.
**[21:32] Mizett**
You got it, guv.
**[21:33] Alicerette**
Mize-kun, I want to do it!
**[21:35] Mizett**
No. You'd blow the whole castle away.
**[21:39] Alicerette**
What? Meanie!
**[21:41] Mizett**
Ready? Here we go.
**[21:44] Mizett**
Level-Six Nature Composed Magic, Earth Mapping!
**[21:51] Rick**
That looks like a highly
developed large city.
**[21:54] Broughston**
This terrain is that of Heractopia.
**[21:57] Broughston**
Combat arts flourish in that country,
and they are famous for their colosseum.
**[22:07] referee**
End of bout!

**[00:02] narrator**
* Four hundred years ago, there was a small*
* country comprised mostly of desert.*
**[00:09] narrator**
* The fourth king, Alexander Heractopia,*
* visited a settlement called Knucklepersi*
**[00:15] narrator**
*and built the Colosseum.*
**[00:19] narrator**
*There, he held fighting competitions,*
**[00:22] narrator**
* and King Alexander himself fought*
* with no weapons but his own body.*
**[00:28] narrator**
* He reigned as the undefeated victor*
* of ten thousand bouts.*
**[00:32] narrator**
* Those who wished to defeat him*
* and those who wished to see him*
**[00:36] narrator**
*gathered from across the continent.*
**[00:42] narrator**
* Before long, the kingdom became*
* a large country full of vigor.*
**[00:47] narrator**
* And that is how*
* the Kingdom of Heractopia came to be.*

**[00:53] Rick**
So, this is the man known as
the King of Fists, King Alexander?
**[00:58] Broughston**
I wish I could have sparred
with him just once.
**[01:01] Rick**
If that ever happened, the whole
kingdom would be blown away.
**[01:05] Reanette**
Given the origins of this kingdom, the business
of fighting for entertainment is thriving.
**[01:10] Rick**
In Heractopia, being a fighter
is a popular occupation.
**[01:13] Rick**
They're called "pugilists" here.
**[01:16] Broughston**
It sounds like an interesting kingdom, but we
should look for that which brought us here.

**[02:53] Rick**
Excuse me!
**[02:54] man**
Yes?
**[02:56] Rick**
We were hoping to ask you something.
**[03:00] man**
I-I'm busy right now!
**[03:02] man**
Sorry!
**[03:04] Reanette**
We aren't making any progress.
**[03:06] Broughston**
No.
**[03:07] Rick**
Should we try going to the town hall?
**[03:09] Rick**
We might be able to find information
on the Six Jewels there.
**[03:13] Broughston**
That seems like a good idea.
**[03:15] Milicia**
Please stop.
**[03:18] Gold**
Now, don't be like that.
**[03:21] Gold**
Why don't we stop by that inn
to get more friendly with each other?
**[03:25] Milicia**
I would rather not.
**[03:28] Rick**
Hey, you!
**[03:29] Broughston**
Pardon me.
**[03:31] Broughston**
There is something I'd like to ask you.
**[03:37] Gold**
So you're an orc! Big deal!
**[03:39] Gold**
You got a problem with me? I'm a pugilist!
**[03:42] Broughston**
You don't look very strong.
**[03:43] Gold**
You're pretty ballsy.
Why don't you come over here?
**[03:47] Broughston**
I don't mind.
**[03:56] Rick**
We've already caused one casualty.
**[03:59] Broughston**
Now, I'd like to ask you something.
**[04:02] Gold**
Anything you'd like, boss! My name is Gold.
**[04:06] Milicia**
Um, I'm Milicia!
**[04:08] Broughston**
Please look at this.
**[04:12] Milicia**
Oh, it's beautiful!
**[04:14] Gold**
That magic is incredible.
**[04:17] Broughston**
Have you ever seen a magic stone like this one?
**[04:20] Broughston**
There should be one somewhere
in this kingdom.
**[04:24] Gold**
I feel like I've seen
something like it somewhere.
**[04:27] Rick**
What?
**[04:27] Milicia**
Me, too.
**[04:28] Rick**
Really? Where?
**[04:31] Milicia**
Where was it? I feel like
I've seen it many times.
**[04:36] Rick**
Please! Remember where it was!
**[04:38] Broughston**
It's important. Even the smallest
detail would be helpful.
**[04:45] announcer**
*This is what you've all been waiting for!*
**[04:47] announcer**
* Back again this year, it's the*
* King of Fists Tournament!*
**[04:51] Broughston**
What's going on?
**[04:52] Gold**
It's the announcement parade for
the King of Fists Tournament!
**[04:56] Milicia**
There are only two months left! I can't wait!
**[04:59] Reanette**
What is the King of Fists Tournament?
**[05:02] Gold**
What? Miss, you don't know?
**[05:05] Gold**
It's a fighting tournament to
determine the pugilist champion!
**[05:09] Milicia**
We get over five hundred thousand
attendees every year!
**[05:13] Gold**
That's the five-time winner of
the King of Fists Tournament.
**[05:16] Gold**
He's been champion three times in a row!
**[05:18] Gold**
Kelvin Wolwolf!
**[05:20] crowd**
Kelvin! Kelvin! Kelvin!
**[05:25] Gold**
He really is the coolest!
I wanna be like that one day!
**[05:30] Rick**
He's amazingly popular.
**[05:33] Broughston**
He seems like quite a capable man.
**[05:37] Rick**
What's going on?
**[05:38] Milicia**
There! Look there!
**[05:42] Rick**
At the champion?
**[05:43] Gold**
His waist! The champion belt!
**[05:46] Milicia**
Right in the middle! There's a stone
like that pretty one from earlier!
**[05:51] Rick**
What?!
**[05:53] Broughston**
That's one of the Six Jewels, Sovereign's Gold.
**[05:56] Reanette**
So, it was here.
**[05:57] crowd**
Kelvin!
**[05:59] crowd; male**
We're waiting for that four-peat!
**[06:00] crowd; female**
Marry me!
**[06:02] crowd; female**
He's so cool!
**[06:03] Kelvin**
Thank you for your support! Look forward
to another great tournament this year!
**[06:15] Daniel**
Thanks for always doing all that.
**[06:17] Kelvin**
It's not a problem.
**[06:19] Kelvin**
As a pugilist, whipping up excitement
for the tournament is important, right?
**[06:24] Daniel**
It is, but how are you feeling?
**[06:28] Kelvin**
Well, not too bad, I'd say.
**[06:32] Daniel**
Which means not good, either.
**[06:35] Kelvin**
If there's someone strong out there,
I might start feeling better, you know?
**[06:40] Rick**
Excuse us!
**[06:42] Rick**
Sorry about this.
**[06:46] Rick**
May we have a moment of your time?
**[06:50] Daniel**
Hey, now. Are you Kelvin's fans?
**[06:53] Daniel**
Following him into the gym
is bad manners, you know?
**[06:55] Rick**
Oh, it's not like that!
**[06:58] Rick**
We're adventurers,
and we're looking for a certain gem.
**[07:03] Broughston**
Stop beating around the bush, Rick.
**[07:09] Kelvin; internal**
*This guy is...*
**[07:12] Rick**
But, Senpai...
**[07:13] Rick**
in cases like this, we have to
follow the proper procedures.
**[07:16] Broughston**
I'm not that type.
**[07:18] Broughston**
And this man isn't either, is he?
**[07:21] Kelvin**
What do you want?
**[07:23] Broughston**
Champion, I'd like for you
to give us that belt.
**[07:27] Rick**
There's such a thing as too straightforward!
**[07:30] Daniel**
What are you talking about? Are you thieves?
**[07:32] Rick**
No, we aren't! It's not like that!
**[07:35] Broughston**
I failed to explain.
**[07:37] Broughston**
The jewel in that belt belonged
to our party member long ago.
**[07:44] Broughston**
They've been searching
for it for many years.
**[07:46] Broughston**
We will, of course, return the belt
and prepare an equivalent gem.
**[07:50] Daniel**
What absurdity is this?
**[07:52] Daniel**
Hey! Someone grab them and throw them out!
**[07:55] Kelvin**
Wait, owner.
**[07:57] Daniel**
But Kelvin...
**[07:58] Kelvin**
I believe them.
**[08:00] Kelvin**
My nose is a little bit special.
**[08:03] Kelvin**
And my nose says that you aren't lying.
**[08:07] Broughston**
Thank you for your understanding.
**[08:09] Kelvin**
I believe you,
**[08:10] Kelvin**
but I can't let you have it.
**[08:15] Kelvin**
This belt is special to all of Heractopia.
**[08:19] Kelvin**
You could even call it
the pride of the people.
**[08:22] Kelvin**
Even if the gem is all you're after,
I can't simply hand it over.
**[08:29] Kelvin**
There's only one way to obtain this...
**[08:33] Kelvin**
to stand at the top of the
King of Fists Tournament.
**[08:36] Broughston**
You're right. That is quite reasonable.
**[08:39] Broughston**
Pardon us.
**[08:40] Rick**
Wait, Broughston-senpai? Are you sure?
**[08:43] Rick**
How are we going to get the jewel?
**[08:47] Broughston**
Weren't you listening to the champion?
**[08:50] Rick**
Huh?
**[08:53] Reanette**
If you'll excuse us.
**[08:58] Daniel**
That was a rude bunch. Are you sure
you should have let them leave?
**[09:03] Daniel**
Fellows like that need to get
smashed up by our rooks.
**[09:07] Kelvin**
If I'd let you do that,
we'd all be dead right now.
**[09:11] Daniel**
What? I knew they weren't average,
but they're that strong?
**[09:17] Kelvin**
Yes.
**[09:18] Kelvin**
First, that maid.
**[09:21] Kelvin**
The way she held herself was incredible.
**[09:23] Kelvin**
There's no question that
she's got prodigious skills.
**[09:26] Kelvin**
That unremarkable-looking man...
**[09:29] Kelvin**
While he's trained his body to
an extraordinary degree,
**[09:32] Kelvin**
he doesn't emit the aura of a powerhouse.
**[09:34] Kelvin**
He's an unknown.
**[09:36] Daniel**
I see. Then, what about that orc?
**[09:41] Kelvin**
He is definitely the real thing.
**[09:47] Rick**
We should become pugilists?
**[09:49] Broughston**
Yes. As pugilists, we'll win the King of
Fists Tournament and obtain the belt.
**[09:56] Broughston**
That's all there is to it.
**[09:59] Reanette**
In order to enter the tournament,
**[10:01] Reanette**
one must pass the preliminaries held
in the east and west of the kingdom.
**[10:05] Reanette**
It is then necessary to win within
the block of those who qualified.
**[10:15] Broughston**
I'll leave the Western League to you.
**[10:17] Broughston**
I'll enter through the Eastern League.
**[10:20] Rick**
That's fine,
**[10:22] Rick**
but, Broughston-senpai,
will you be all right on your own?
**[10:26] Broughston**
Don't worry. I've arranged for a guide.
**[10:29] Rick**
A guide?
**[10:31] Gold**
Boss! Sorry t'keep you waiting!
**[10:38] Reanette**
First, you must pass a test to earn
the right to be called a pugilist.
**[10:44] Rick**
Is it like what the Guild
does for adventurers?
**[10:47] Reanette**
In the hopes of entering the tournament,
**[10:49] Reanette**
those with confidence in their skills come
from distant lands to take the tests.
**[10:54] Rick**
Really? That sounds like fun.
**[10:57] examiner**
Rick Gladiatol-san, is it?
**[11:00] Rick**
Yes, sir!
**[11:01] examiner**
The test is a physical mock battle.
**[11:03] examiner**
Your opponent has been chosen from
our new pugilists at random.
**[11:08] Rick**
Is my opponent strong?
**[11:11] examiner**
Let's see.
**[11:12] examiner**
It's a promising newbie who has won each of
their bouts in the tournament preliminaries.
**[11:17] examiner**
But, whether you win or lose, as long as
you meet a certain standard, you pass.
**[11:22] examiner**
Please don't worry and just do your best.
**[11:24] Rick**
I understand.
**[11:26] Angelica**
Sorry to keep you waiting!
**[11:30] Angelica**
I don't know who started it,
but everyone calls me the Flash!
**[11:35] Rick; internal**
*That voice. It can't be!*
**[11:38] Angelica**
I, Angelica Diarmuit, will be your opponent!
**[11:47] Angelica**
Y-You're...
**[11:50] Rick**
It's been a while, right?

**[12:01] crowd A**
We've been waiting for this!
**[12:03] crowd B**
Looking as cute as ever, Angelica-chan!
**[12:05] Tris**
Knock that old dude out with one blow!
**[12:09] Tris**
Hey, Nicolas.
**[12:11] Nicolas**
It's rare for you to watch
a mock battle like this.
**[12:14] Tris**
I can't miss a chance to see
Angelica-chan's noble figure, can I?
**[12:18] Nicolas**
So, you're the same as them, huh?
No wonder it's only guys watching this.
**[12:22] Tris**
She appeared like a comet, and she's a
beautiful female pugilist, you know?
**[12:27] Tris**
The only shame is that one flat area.
**[12:29] Tris**
She'll probably finish off
today's opponent in a flash.
**[12:32] Nicolas**
Don't underestimate a newcomer.
**[12:35] Nicolas**
Every once in a long while,
an incredible dark horse will show up.
**[12:42] Angelica**
Why are you here?
**[12:44] Rick**
I could ask you the same thing!
**[12:47] Rick**
Don't tell me that North
and the prodigy came too?
**[12:50] Angelica**
North?
**[12:52] Rick**
I mean your big brother, Raster.
**[12:54] Angelica**
The only one who has come
to Heractopia is me.
**[12:58] Rick**
I see.
**[13:01] Angelica; internal**
*This is bad.*
**[13:03] Angelica; internal**
* To think that 40-something who beat*
* my A-rank brother would be my opponent!*
**[13:07] Angelica; internal**
* Though winning doesn't matter here, I can't*
* afford to suffer defeat in a mock battle!*
**[13:13] examiner**
The pugilist test begins now!
**[13:17] Angelica; internal**
*He still doesn't look strong to me.*
**[13:21] Angelica; internal**
* But I won't let down my*
* guard like I did last time.*
**[13:24] Angelica; internal**
* I'll give it everything*
* I have from the start!*
**[13:26] Angelica**
Flickering Feet!
**[13:29] Angelica**
What?
**[13:34] Tris**
Ow!
**[13:35] Angelica**
Ow.
**[13:36] Angelica; internal**
* How could this happen to me of all people?*
* I must be too worked up.*
**[13:39] Angelica**
Now, here I come!
**[13:45] Nicolas**
What was that?
**[13:47] Angelica; internal**
*That wasn't a mistake on my part.*
**[13:51] Angelica; internal**
*It can't be.*
**[13:52] Rick**
What do you think, Angelica?
**[13:54] Rick**
How is the power of this new skill
I've learned in the last few months?
**[13:58] Angelica**
New skill?
**[14:00] Rick**
The Eight Secrets of Going Easy, number one!
**[14:03] Rick**
Start by sweeping their legs!
**[14:05] Angelica**
What?
**[14:06] Rick**
Continuous leg sweeps are a technique which
demoralize the opponent, who is trying to stand,
**[14:12] Rick**
and no matter how long it continues,
no one gets seriously injured!
**[14:15] Angelica**
That's how children play!
**[14:17] Rick**
Your body hardly hurts
at all, though, right?
**[14:21] Angelica; internal**
* That means that he's been doing*
* leg sweeps at an incredible speed.*
**[14:26] Angelica; internal**
* A speed so fast that even I,*
* a knight second class, can't see it.*
**[14:30] Angelica; internal**
*Such an absurd skill can't possibly exist!*
**[14:32] Angelica; internal**
*At least, that's what I'd like to say.*
**[14:34] Angelica; internal**
* But it's entirely possible for*
* this 40-something year old!*
**[14:37] Angelica; internal**
*In which case, I should get distance.*
**[14:40] Angelica**
Flickering Fe—!
**[14:43] Rick**
Angelica, your Flickering Feet
skill really is incredible!
**[14:47] Rick**
It's hard to adjust my timing for it!
**[14:50] Angelica**
This isn't enough to make me lose!
**[15:00] Rick**
You haven't lost your will to fight yet!
I'd expect no less of you!
**[15:03] Angelica**
This is nearly enough for that.
**[15:06] Rick**
If I fought for real,
you'd be fine, right, Angelica?
**[15:09] Angelica**
I... I...
**[15:10] Rick**
All right! Here we go!
**[15:12] Angelica**
I give up.
**[15:18] examiner**
End of match.
**[15:21] Rick**
So this means that I'm a pugilist, and I can
participate in the preliminaries, right?
**[15:26] Reanette**
Yes.
**[15:27] Rick**
Then let's hurry up and
win those preliminaries!
**[15:30] Angelica**
Wait right there!
**[15:33] Angelica**
Why is a 40-something
year old like you here?!
**[15:37] Rick**
I could ask you the same thing!
Also, I'm 30-something!
**[15:42] Angelica**
How many times must you savage me
before you're satisfied?
**[15:46] Rick**
I... What? Hey, hold on!
**[15:48] Rick**
If you say it like that,
people could misunderstand!
**[15:52] Rick**
Oh, I know! You must be hungry, right?
**[15:54] Rick**
Let's get something to eat. My treat.
**[16:04] Milicia**
Thanks for waiting!
**[16:08] Milicia**
My parents run this place.
**[16:10] Milicia**
I'll give you some freebies,
so just relax and enjoy, all right?
**[16:14] Rick**
We will, thank you. We're happy
to have found an inn, too.
**[16:22] Milicia**
Um, so, where is Broughston-sama?
**[16:26] Rick**
Oh. Broughston-san is entering
the Eastern League.
**[16:31] Milicia**
Oh, I see.
**[16:40] Angelica**
So, why have you become a pugilist?
**[16:44] Rick**
I was thinking of winning the
King of Fists Tournament.
**[16:47] Angelica**
That's a child's dream!
**[16:50] Rick**
This is delicious!
**[16:52] Reanette**
Yes, it is. They seem to have
used some unusual spices.
**[16:59] Reanette**
Angelica-sama, when did
you become a pugilist?
**[17:02] Angelica**
Four months ago.
**[17:04] Rick**
That's just after the E-rank test.
**[17:06] Rick**
I wouldn't expect a knight to become
a pugilist who won't use a sword.
**[17:12] Angelina**
I have my reasons.
**[17:16] Rick**
Will you be entering the tournament, too?
**[17:21] Angelica**
Yes.
**[17:22] Angelica**
Whatever it takes, I must continue to win
and make it to the King of Fists tournament.
**[17:28] Rick**
I'll have to work my hardest, too.
**[17:30] Angelica**
Don't tell me you mean to
enter this year's tournament!
**[17:33] Angelica**
Not next year's?
**[17:35] Rick**
That's right.
**[17:38] Angelica**
I'll admit that your strength strains the
bounds of logic, but it just won't be possible.
**[17:43] Reanette**
What do you mean?
**[17:45] Angelica**
You're here without even
knowing how it works?
**[17:49] Angelica**
The path to the King of Fists
Tournament is a long one.
**[17:53] Angelica**
Firstly, it's only those who win 40 bouts
over the half year of the preliminaries
**[17:58] Angelica**
who earn the right to participate
in the league competition.
**[18:02] Rick**
So, I just have to win, right?
**[18:03] Angelica**
It isn't that simple!
**[18:07] Angelica**
These bouts where pugilists fight
at full strength are brutal.
**[18:11] Angelica**
At most, people fight ten bouts per month.
**[18:15] Angelica**
And there is only one week left.
**[18:18] Angelica**
Winning 40 bouts in one week
is physically impossible.
**[18:23] Rick**
I thought ten bouts a day
would be easy, so I...
**[18:27] Reanette**
You requested 40 bouts
in four days, didn't you?
**[18:31] Anglica**
Could you please stop breaking
all the laws of common sense?!
**[18:37] staff**
We're accepting those who have
preliminary bouts after ten o'clock!
**[18:41] staff**
Please come to the counter!
**[18:44] receptionist**
Rick Gladiatol-san.
**[18:46] receptionist**
This is your first preliminary bout,
isn't it? Please head to Building B.
**[18:50] Rick**
What sort of person is my opponent?
**[18:53] receptionist**
Your opponent will be Grit Albert-san.
**[18:57] Rick**
Is something wrong?
**[18:58] receptionist**
No. It's just that there are enduring rumors
that he breaks the rules by using a weapon.
**[19:04] receptionist**
No evidence of such a thing was
uncovered during his body checks,
**[19:07] receptionist**
but please, be careful.
**[19:16] Rick; internal**
*He doesn't look like he's got a weapon.*
**[19:21] Grit; internal**
* I heard he's a newbie who's*
* only just become a pugilist.*
**[19:25] Grit; internal**
* At his age, did he summon one*
* big push to make it happen?*
**[19:29] Grit; internal**
*He's definitely worth crushing.*
**[19:31] Grit; internal**
*I guess I'll go with this today.*
**[19:33] Grit; internal**
* This Impact Stone will increase the*
* force of my blows 20 or 30 times!*
**[19:39] referee**
Now, combatants, fight!
**[19:43] Grit**
It's kind of hot today, isn't it?
**[19:47] Rick**
Is it?
**[19:49] Grit**
Yes, it's hot. Very hot.
I'm feeling fired up!
**[19:54] Grit**
Your side is wide open!
**[20:01] Grit**
And it's over! Looks like
your first bout ends in defeat.
**[20:05] Grit**
Wait.
**[20:06] Grit**
What's going on here?!
**[20:09] Rick**
Hey. Is that an Impact Stone?
**[20:11] Rick**
If you use that without training your body
first, of course your bones will break!
**[20:16] Grit; internal**
* No, no, no. I broke giant*
* boulders with no problems!*
**[20:20] Rick**
I think you should probably train your
Four Foundational Faculties of magic a bit more.
**[20:25] Rick**
Well then! It's my turn, right?
**[20:29] Rick**
The Eight Secrets of Going Easy, number two!
**[20:31] Rick**
The punch that doesn't land!
**[20:36] Rick**
This skill uses the shock wave
from a passing punch
**[20:39] Rick**
to shake the brain and
cause unconsciousness!
**[20:41] Rick**
Shouldn't cause any major injuries, right?
**[20:48] Angelica**
Yet another incomprehensible skill.
**[20:57] referee**
E-End of match!
**[20:59] referee**
Winner, Rick Gladiatol!
**[21:04] Nicolas**
Looks like someone incredible has appeared.
**[21:08] Nicolas**
Looks like this year's tournament
is going to be a can't-miss.
**[23:17] Snape**
Are you here?
**[23:33] Snape**
It's nearly time to get to work, Geith.
**[23:39] Geith**
What a pain.

**[00:17] referee**
End of bout! Winner, Angelica Diarmuit!
**[00:25] Reanette**
Congratulations.
**[00:27] Rick**
You've made it through
the preliminaries, right?
**[00:29] Angelica**
Forty wins in a row.
**[00:31] Angelica**
I intend to win my way through the
block league matches as well.
**[00:35] Rick**
All right! I've gotta do my best, too!
**[00:38] Angelica**
Do you really intend to compete
in 40 matches in four days?
**[00:41] Rick**
Yes. Why?
**[00:42] Anglica**
You do understand that each venue
only hosts one bout per day?
**[00:48] Rick**
Yes.
**[00:49] Angelica**
It must be because you're unfamiliar with the
area that you've made so many fight requests.
**[00:53] Angelica**
It really is impossible.
**[00:55] Angelica**
There are several dozen sites for the
preliminaries across the kingdom.
**[00:58] Angelica**
A distant venue might be a hundred
kilometers away. Which is why—
**[01:02] Reanette**
Rick-sama, it's time.
**[01:04] Rick**
Whoops, you're right.
**[01:05] Rick**
Sorry, Angelica. I have a bout
at the Green Hill Arena at ten.
**[01:10] Angelica**
Weren't you listening?!
**[01:12] Angelica**
The Green Hill Arena is
30 kilometers from here!
**[01:16] Angelica**
Even if you took a coach—
**[01:17] Rick**
A *coach*? You must be joking!
I'm in a hurry, so I'll just run!
**[01:20] Angelica**
Why are you acting like *I'm* the crazy one?
**[01:23] Rick**
Well, I'll be back soon!
**[01:27] Angelica**
What about my position as someone
who uses Flickering Feet?
**[01:31] Angelica**
He really does defy all common sense.
**[01:34] Reanette**
Are you interested in Rick-sama's match?
**[01:37] Angelica**
Well, yes. I would like to watch it,
but I can't think of any way to do so.
**[01:42] Reanette**
Then allow me to take you there.
**[01:44] Angelica**
I have an incredibly bad feeling about this.
**[01:47] Angelica**
No!
**[01:55] Angelica**
Wh-Wh-Why are you going so high up?!
**[01:58] Reanette**
Because the streets are crowded.
**[02:01] Angelica**
That's enough for me! Please put me down!

**[03:42] Rick**
Oh! Angelica, you came to watch?
**[03:46] Angelica**
I was in no state to watch.
**[03:49] Rick**
Actually, I really messed up.
**[03:51] Rick**
The third of my Eight Secrets of Going
Easy needs a few more adjustments.
**[03:57] Reanette**
Then, shall we go to the next venue?
**[03:59] Rick**
Yes!
**[04:03] Angelica**
In that case, I'll be on my way.

**[04:39] Angelica**
He really won 40 matches in four days
to make it through the preliminaries.
**[04:44] Angelica**
That utterly defies all common sense.
**[04:47] Reanette**
Next will be the block league matches.
**[04:49] Angelica**
Not being in the same block
as him means I'm safe.
**[04:53] Reanette**
Angelica-sama, are you aiming
to win the tournament?
**[04:57] Angelica**
Since I've entered, I would like to win...
**[05:00] Angelica**
but as long as that 40-something
is around, it's impossible.
**[05:03] Reanette**
And Broughston-sama will be
participating in the Eastern League.
**[05:07] Angelica**
Broughston?
**[05:09] Reanette**
He's the one who taught Rick-sama.
He's an S-rank adventurer.
**[05:12] Angelica**
S-rank?!
**[05:14] Angelica**
There's another monster like him competing?
**[05:18] Reanette**
Please, do your best.
**[05:21] Angelica**
Even if winning is impossible,
I won't let that man...
**[05:25] Reanette**
"That man"?
**[05:31] Angelica**
Wherever has that 40-something gotten to?
**[05:34] Reanette**
He's out jogging to the Tronia region.
**[05:39] Angelica**
That's six hundred kilometers there and back.
**[05:43] Angelica**
I rather hate myself for not
being surprised anymore.
**[05:48] Angelica**
I'm amazed that you can
put up with all of that.
**[05:51] Reanette**
I've never once found myself
inconvenienced by it.
**[05:54] Angelica**
You say that, but you're always together.
**[05:57] Angelica**
You'd hate it if people said you
were in love, wouldn't you?
**[06:00] Reanette**
I wouldn't mind.
**[06:01] Angelica**
What?
**[06:02] Reanette**
I have a great affection for Rick-sama.
**[06:08] Angelica**
I-I see! W-Well then,
there's no problem at all!
**[06:12] Reanette**
Indeed.
**[06:13] clerk**
Excuse me, lovely ladies,
may I have a moment?
**[06:17] Angelica**
What is it? Are you hitting on us?
**[06:20] clerk**
We don't have enough part-timers!
Please, won't you help us?
**[06:26] Angelica**
What?
**[06:33] Snape**
Ah, you're Rick Gladiatol-san, aren't you?
**[06:38] Rick**
Yes, I am.
**[06:39] Snape**
Pardon the suddenness.
**[06:41] Snape**
I am the chairman of the Western
League's management committee.
**[06:44] Snape**
My name is Snape Resurrect.
**[06:47] Rick**
How do you know who I am?
**[06:48] Snape**
What do you mean?
**[06:50] Snape**
Of course I would know the fastest qualifier
of the Western League preliminaries in history.
**[06:56] Rick**
I see.
**[06:59] guard**
Snape-sama, Angelica-sama
appears to be absent.
**[07:03] Snape**
I see. I suppose there's nothing
to be done about that.
**[07:06] Rick**
You know Angelica?
**[07:09] Snape**
Yes, we're quite close.
**[07:11] Snape**
I am a mere merchant, but the House
of Diarmuit treats me very kindly.
**[07:16] Rick**
If I may ask, when did you retire
from being a pugilist?
**[07:20] Snape**
Why do you say I used to be a pugilist?
**[07:23] Rick**
It's just... Your handshake felt like one
from someone who'd trained to fight.
**[07:29] Snape**
All I can say is that you
live up to your reputation.
**[07:32] Snape**
It was over 20 years ago,
but I did win a little competition.
**[07:37] Snape**
The sense of accomplishment and roar
of the crowd were quite uplifting.
**[07:42] Snape**
However, I retired when I was 23 years old,
**[07:46] Snape**
so that ended up being the first
and last time I won anything.
**[07:50] Rick**
You retired at a really young age, huh?
**[07:53] Snape**
Apologies. I've said too much.
**[07:57] Snape**
When it comes to speaking about
pugilists, I tend to forget myself.
**[08:01] Snape**
Actually, my company has entered
someone in this competition.
**[08:06] Rick**
Really?
**[08:08] Snape**
Well, then...
**[08:10] Snape**
Oh, yes. Please give my
regards to Angelica-san.
**[08:14] Snape**
Tell her not to get too excited...
**[08:18] Snape**
And to please look after herself.
**[08:27] Milicia**
Rick-san, are you all right?
**[08:29] Rick**
Why do you ask?
**[08:31] Milicia**
You had to speak with Snape-san, didn't you?
**[08:34] Milicia**
From the Dragonaut Company.
**[08:36] Rick**
Drago... Oh. He said he was
a merchant or something.
**[08:40] Milicia**
If nothing happened, that's fine,
but please be careful.
**[08:44] Milicia**
He looks like a gentleman,
**[08:46] Milicia**
but there are so many rumors that
he's connected to the underworld.
**[08:49] Rick**
Really?
**[08:51] Rick**
He said that he's close to
Angelica's family, though.
**[08:54] Milicia**
He's the lead sponsor for
the competition this year.
**[08:57] Milicia**
Everyone was shocked by that.
**[08:59] Rick**
He mentioned that his company entered
someone in the competition.
**[09:03] Milicia**
The sponsor's slot.
**[09:05] Milicia**
They have a slot for a
competitor in the tournament.
**[09:07] Rick**
Sponsor's slot?
**[09:10] customer A**
Hey, is that for real?
**[09:12] customer B**
Yeah. The level of the bunnies
this year is really high.
**[09:15] customer B**
Especially that newcomer,
that dark elf girl. She's incredible!
**[09:19] Rick**
Dark elf?
**[09:21] Angelica**
Now, who will win their way through
the Western League block?
**[09:25] Angelcia**
Who will be the seven competitors
in the King of Fists Tournament?
**[09:29] Reanette**
We are accepting bets here.
**[09:32] Angelica**
Come, everyone! Rouse your
courage and place a bet!
**[09:36] bunny B**
Angelica-san, you're very
passionate about this.
**[09:38] Angelica**
I-I'm not doing this because
I want to, you know?
**[09:41] Reanette**
Is that true?
**[09:43] Reanette**
If you hadn't accepted the job,
I would have turned it down.
**[09:47] Angelica**
You can turn down someone asking
with a blood-covered face?
**[09:49] clerk; flashback**
Please, I'm begging you!
**[09:52] Reantte**
Yes.
**[09:52] Angelica**
You're heartless!
**[09:53] Domuld**
Outta the way! Outta the way!
**[09:58] Domuld**
Oh, I like the way you sound.
**[10:01] bunny B**
Sir, please stop that.
**[10:02] Domuld**
Oh, shut up! If you're gonna complain,
I'll take *you* home with me!
**[10:09] Domuld**
Oh! I'll look after you, too!
**[10:15] Domuld**
What's with the washboard here?
**[10:21] Domuld**
This bunny's strong.
**[10:24] Angelica**
Now please leave!
**[10:26] Rick**
Angelica?
**[10:28] Rick**
Why are you dressed like that?
**[10:30] Angelica**
No, this is... Someone asked
me to, so I had no choice.
**[10:35] Reanette**
Rick-sama.
**[10:36] Rick**
Oh, Reane—!
**[10:40] Reanette**
Rick-sama, is something wrong?
**[10:44] Rick**
R-Reanette...
**[10:51] Angelica**
Why is his reaction to *her* so different?

**[11:05] Daniel**
He made it through the Eastern League
preliminaries in a mere two days.
**[11:09] Daniel**
And this says every match was decided
by a single knock-out blow.
**[11:13] Daniel**
It's unbelievable.
**[11:15] Kerwin**
That orc is so incredible that
the other coverage is minor,
**[11:19] Kerwin**
but that other man made it through
the Western League in four days.
**[11:24] Kerwin**
I think I'll enjoy the event this year.
**[11:32] (Flashback) man**
Stop right there, you blasted brat!
**[11:38] (Flashback) Daniel**
This is the place.
**[11:41] (Flashback) Daniel**
Let's go.
**[11:48] (Flashback) Daniel**
This is...
**[11:49] (Flashback) Kerwin**
What do you want?
**[11:54] (Flashback) Daniel**
You're the Ravenous Wolf of the Slums?
**[11:56] (Flashback) Kerwin**
Some people call me that.
**[11:59] (Flashback) Kerwin**
Are you a gang member here to kill me?
**[12:01] (Flashback) Daniel**
No.
**[12:02] (Flashback) Kerwin**
Then could you clean that up for me?
**[12:05] (Flashback) Daniel**
Ask someone else to do that.
**[12:07] (Flashback) Kerwin**
I thought you'd say that. It's a pain,
but I guess I'll go dump 'em somewhere.
**[12:11] (Flashback) Daniel**
I came here to scout you.
**[12:14] (Flashback) Kerwin**
Scout?
**[12:15] (Flashback) Daniel**
Come to Heractopia.
**[12:17] (Flashback) Daniel**
In that kingdom, you can obtain whatever
you want by fighting and winning.
**[12:22] (Flashback) Daniel**
There are a lot of strong fighters there.
**[12:26] (Flashback) Kerwin**
Really?
**[12:27] (Flashback) Kerwin**
Fine. Sounds like fun.
**[12:32] Daniel**
I haven't seen that expression in a while.
**[12:36] Kerwin**
You might be right.
**[12:38] Kerwin**
I haven't felt this way in a long time.
**[12:42] Rick**
What's wrong, Angelica?
**[12:44] Angelica**
Nothing in the slightest.
**[12:47] Rick**
Are you bothered by what happened yesterday?
**[12:49] Rick**
You looked cute too, Angelica. Really.
**[12:52] Reanette**
Yes. You were very popular
with a portion of the crowd.
**[12:59] Rick**
Oh, right. Speaking of yesterday,
someone named Snape came to see you.
**[13:08] Angelica**
I don't know anyone like that.
**[13:11] announcer**
Now, the block league competition to decide
the tournament participants is about to begin!
**[13:17] announcer**
Only one entrant from each block can
participate in the final tournament!
**[13:21] announcer**
A heated battle is about to begin!
**[13:24] announcer**
In the first match from Block A, we have
Helen Thompson vs Angelica Diarmuit!
**[13:30] announcer**
It's a fight between two women!
**[13:33] announcer**
And now, combatants, fight!
**[13:37] Angelica**
Flickering Feet!
**[13:41] Rick**
She seems tense.
**[13:43] Reanette**
Yes, she does. Angelica-sama
doesn't seem her usual self.
**[13:50] announcer**
Winner, Angelica Diarmuit!
**[13:53] pugilist C**
Let's go!
**[13:55] pugilist C**
Chest shot!
**[13:56] Rick**
*Eight Secrets of Going Easy, number three...*
**[13:59] Rick**
*Pass by and give a knifehand strike.*
**[14:04] Rick; internal**
*Yes! That went well!*
**[14:06] Reanette**
He's gotten better at holding back.
**[14:09] Angelica**
He is just as ridiculous as ever.
**[14:25] Reanette**
There are four more bouts.
**[14:27] Angelica**
In order to ensure our
participation in the knockouts,
**[14:30] Angelica**
we can't lose a single match.
**[14:32] Rick**
With that in mind, let's keep doing
our best. Today's opponents are—
**[14:35] Angelica**
Yes. I'll go and finish this quickly.
**[14:41] Anglica**
Flickering Feet!
**[14:44] Taylor**
You just won't stay still!
**[14:47] Angelica**
Level-Three Nature Composed Magic, Water Wall!
**[14:52] Angelica**
Level-Two Nature Composed Magic, Thunder Arrow!
**[14:58] Rick**
She's combined her specialty hit-and-run
tactics with Nature Composed Magic.
**[15:03] Rick**
But against this opponent...
**[15:06] Taylor**
What's wrong, little kitten?
I can still take a whole lot more.
**[15:09] Taylor**
Are you tired already?
**[15:11] Angelica**
What did you say?
**[15:12] Angelica**
Flickering Feet!
**[15:15] Taylor**
See? You're slower than you
were in the beginning!
**[15:18] Angelica**
Oh no—
**[15:25] Rick**
Angelica!
**[15:28] announcer**
End of bout!
**[15:29] announcer**
Angelica pressed her opponent
with a number of moves,
**[15:32] announcer**
but a single blow from Taylor Bridds
has rendered her unable to continue!
**[15:40] healer**
I've finished.
**[15:42] healer**
You're mostly healed,
but please rest for one night.
**[15:51] Rick**
How are your injuries?
**[15:53] Angelica**
I'm fine.
**[15:55] Rick**
It seemed like you were too impatient.
**[15:58] Angelica**
What do you mean by that?
**[16:00] Rick**
Your opponent's defensive
strength was clear to see.
**[16:03] Rick**
You knew it wasn't a good
match for your style, didn't you?
**[16:05] Rick**
But you chose to stick to tactics
that would tire you out!
**[16:08] Angelica**
No one asked for your advice!
**[16:10] Rick**
Hey!
**[16:13] Rick**
Wait, Angelica!
**[16:15] Angelica**
No!
**[16:16] Rick**
You were at a disadvantage,
**[16:17] Rick**
but the usual you would have
been able to win that match!
**[16:20] Angelica**
Stop nagging me!
**[16:22] Rick**
If you're worried about something,
you can ask me for advice!
**[16:25] Rick**
Although, I might not be much help.
**[16:34] Angelica**
You really are a meddler, aren't you?
**[16:40] Rick**
That man?
**[16:42] Angelica**
That man who came here the other day,
Snape, is my fiancé.
**[16:48] Rick**
Huh. Your fiancé...
**[16:51] Angelica**
Snape has intervened in a number of
problems the House of Diarmuit had.
**[16:57] Angelica**
It all started a year ago.
**[16:59] Angelica**
My parents passed away in an accident.
**[17:03] Angelica**
My siblings and I took on the
management of the Diarmuit lands,
**[17:07] Angelica**
but we were inexperienced and fell
into grave financial difficulties.
**[17:12] Angelica**
That's when our scrooge of
a grandfather stepped in.
**[17:16] Angelica**
He made a deal with Snape.
**[17:20] Angelica**
Snape was probably aiming for
a pipeline to nobles and royals.
**[17:24] Angelica**
He promised to provide the House
of Diarmuit a large sum of money,
**[17:27] Angelica**
and he demanded a betrothal to me in return.
**[17:32] Angelica**
After that, we desperately
rebuilt our finances.
**[17:36] Angelica**
But it was too late to
nullify the betrothal.
**[17:44] Rick**
F-F-F-F-Fiancé?!
**[17:47] Angelica**
What a delay!
**[17:48] Rick**
What do you mean, he's your fiancé?
Is he your type?
**[17:51] Angelica**
I just explained that!
**[17:53] Angelica**
Your ability to process information
has completely rotted away!
**[17:57] Rick**
S-Sorry! You're right. Let's just calm down.
**[18:01] Angelica**
At any rate, I looked into Snape
while trying to block the betrothal.
**[18:05] Angelica**
When I did, I saw he'd become the
main sponsor for this tournament.
**[18:09] Rick**
Oh. Milicia mentioned that
everyone was surprised.
**[18:13] Angelica**
Now, this is my main point.
**[18:15] Angelica**
As the sponsor of the tournament,
Snape intends to—
**[18:21] Rick**
What's all the commotion?
**[18:23] Angelica**
That's Taylor Bridds.
**[18:23] Taylor; background**
She just bumped into you
a little, that's all!
**[18:25] Taylor**
Let the woman go!
**[18:27] Geith**
Huh? Who do you think you're talking to?
**[18:30] Angelica**
And that man is...
**[18:32] Taylor**
Who would I be talking to other than you?
**[18:36] Geith**
Really?
**[18:40] Geith**
This blasted weakling is getting too cocky!
**[18:49] Angelica**
He knocked Taylor out with one blow?
**[18:53] Geith**
The likes of you never had
a chance of beating me!
**[18:58] Geith**
Now, what are you going
to do about this, huh?
**[19:03] woman**
I'm sorry. I'll clean it up right away!
**[19:08] Geith**
The beer isn't the issue here.
**[19:11] Geith**
What's important is whether I'm
angry or not. It's all that matters.
**[19:17] Geith**
What are you gonna do to
make me feel better, huh?
**[19:27] Geith**
What's this? Do you want
to get destroyed too?
**[19:32] Angelica**
Let her go!
**[19:36] Geith**
Who are you to get in my way?
**[19:38] Geith**
You pest!
**[19:42] Rick**
Now, now. Let's all calm down for a moment.
**[19:45] Geith**
Huh? And who are you?
**[19:49] Snape**
Geith.
**[19:51] Rick**
Snape-san!
**[19:53] Snape**
Won't you please leave things at that
and restrain yourself until the tournament?
**[20:01] Geith**
Move!
**[20:08] Snape**
I apologize for all the trouble. I will
send compensation at a later date.
**[20:14] Rick**
Snape-san! Who was that?
**[20:17] Snape**
His name is Geith Resurrect.
**[20:19] Snape**
We're far apart in age,
but he's my younger brother.
**[20:22] Rick**
What?
**[20:23] Rick**
Your little brother?
**[20:26] Snape**
Geith gets this violent when
he's annoyed by a troublesome fly.
**[20:33] Snape**
As no one is strong enough to stop him,
he is troublesome to deal with,
**[20:37] Snape**
but he also calms down quickly.
**[20:40] Snape**
Angelica-san, you aren't hurt, are you?
**[20:45] Angelica**
I'm fine.
**[20:46] Snape**
I'm glad to hear it. Your health
is very precious, after all.
**[20:54] Rick**
Snape-san becoming the tournament's
sponsor and your engagement...
**[20:59] Rick**
What's the connection?
**[21:01] Angelica**
The amount exchanged for the
betrothal was a significant sum.
**[21:05] Angelica**
I looked into the Dragonaut Company assets,
and they don't have nearly enough.
**[21:11] Angelica**
So, he intends to earn it here,
through the tournament.
**[21:15] Rick**
I'm sure there's a ridiculous amount
of money at stake in this tournament.
**[21:20] Rick**
If he wants to make some of that, then...
**[21:23] Rick**
Could it be...
**[21:25] Rick**
he's fixing the game?
**[21:26] Angelica**
Exactly!
**[21:27] Angelica**
He's going to use the sponsor's slot
to fix the outcome of the tournament.
**[21:32] Angelica**
And that's why...
**[21:34] Angelica**
I'm going to defeat his entrant
and call off this engagement!
**[21:40] Rick**
I see. And that's why you became a pugilist.
**[21:45] Angelica**
But the competitor in the sponsor's
slot is that Geith from earlier.
**[21:50] Rick**
Him, huh?
**[21:52] Angelica**
It pains me to say it, but even
if I make it into the tournament,
**[21:55] Angelica**
I can't beat Geith as I am now.
**[21:59] Rick**
Hey, Angelica?
**[22:01] Rick**
What if I trained you?
**[22:06] Angelica**
What?!
**[22:07] Angelica**
Am I... being notified of
my own murder right now?

**[00:07] Rick**
Listen, the training we're about to
begin is so harsh it defies all logic.
**[00:12] Rick**
You're sure you want to to this?
**[00:14] Angelica**
Yes. Please don't hold back.
**[00:18] Rick**
I like that resolve of yours.
**[00:20] Angelica**
Um, what is all this?
**[00:21] Rick**
We'll start with each one
at 30 kilograms.
**[00:25] Angelica**
Just what sort of training is this exactly?
**[00:28] Rick**
Don't skip the strengthening
magic, all right? You'll die.
**[00:31] Angelica**
Could you not skip
the explanations, please?!
**[00:34] Rick**
Let's go!

But what about my explanation?!

**[02:13] Angelica**
Wh-Wh-What is going on?
**[02:17] Angelica**
What are you subjecting me to?!
**[02:20] Rick**
Being pulled along by someone
who's faster than you
**[02:23] Rick**
teaches your body how to move faster!
**[02:25] Rick**
It's called baby bird running!
**[02:27] Rick**
Angelica, you're good at acceleration,
but your other movements aren't stable.
**[02:32] Angelica**
C-Could we stop for just
a moment, please? Rick?
**[02:35] Rick**
Oh! I think that's the first time
you've called me by name!
**[02:39] Rick**
All right! Let's do our best today!
**[02:40] Angelica**
Don't change the subject!
I'd like to stop for a moment!
**[02:45] Rick**
When you think you've hit your limit,
giving it a little more is very important!
**[02:49] Rick**
Just a little more! Six hours!
**[02:51] Angelica**
That's *not* "just a little"!
**[02:58] Angelica**
Father, mother... Oh! They're waving at me!
**[03:04] Rick**
A knight second class really is on
a different level training-wise.
**[03:07] Angelica**
Huh? What's this? My legs are still attached.
**[03:12] Angelica**
I thought they'd fallen off long ago.
**[03:16] Rick**
When Reanette did this for me,
I completely lost consciousness!
**[03:20] Rick**
On my first day of training,
I died three times.
**[03:24] Angelica**
So you really are trying to kill me.
**[03:26] Angelica**
But I've made it through the first day!
**[03:31] Rick**
It's only noon.
**[03:33] Rick**
After we've had a break,
we'll start the afternoon session.
**[03:35] Angelica**
Afternoon session?!
**[03:37] Angelica**
That's ludicrous... Please, have mercy.
**[03:42] Rick**
Well, I'll see you in an hour.
**[03:45] Angelica**
Why is it that sometimes
your ears seem to cease working?!

I didn't know this place existed!
I've looked all over the kingdom for you.
**[04:23] Angelica**
It's only been 15 minutes since I ran away.
**[04:31] Angelica**
You've come to scold me, haven't you?
**[04:33] Angelica**
Could you please hurry up and get it over with?
**[04:36] Rick**
Huh? No, I haven't.
Actually, it's the opposite.
**[04:39] Angelica**
The opposite?
**[04:41] Rick**
I completely understand wanting to run away.
**[04:43] Rick**
I can't remember how many times
I ran over those two years...
**[04:46] Rick**
or how many tens of thousands
of times I died.
**[04:52] (Flashback) Broughston**
Hmm. He died.

Good. You're awake, Rick.
**[05:09] (Flashback) Rick**
I died again?
**[05:11] (Flashback) Broughston**
Alicerette shared her magic with me,
**[05:14] (Flashback) Broughston**
so I can revive you another
two thousand times.
**[05:17] (Flashback) Rick**
Two thousand...
**[05:19] (Flashback) Broughston**
Now, let's continue.
**[05:21] (Flashback) Alicerette**
Hang in there, Rikkun!
**[05:25] Rick**
For a while there, I got used to dying.
**[05:27] Angelica**
Usually, if you die just once, that's the end.
**[05:30] Angelica**
I'm amazed you made it through
two years of that.
**[05:33] Rick**
I did try to quit,
**[05:35] Rick**
but then Broughston-senpai
said something to me.
**[05:39] Rick**
"Between your regrets after quitting
and your current suffering,
**[05:42] Rick**
which can you bear more easily?
Try putting them on a scale."
**[05:48] Rick**
So I tried visualizing it deep in my mind.
**[05:56] Angelica**
And your scales tilted toward
your current suffering.
**[06:00] Rick**
Yes, but Senpai said that
even if I'd chosen to quit,
**[06:05] Rick**
he'd have seen me off with a smile.
**[06:08] Rick**
For some reason, those words
made things instantly easier to bear.
**[06:15] Angelica**
I absolutely loathe
the customs of the nobility.
**[06:19] Rick**
Huh?
**[06:20] Angelica**
Ever since I was little,
I've been given a noble's education.
**[06:25] Angelica**
Social manners and dance, makeup, fashion...
**[06:28] Angelica**
I've learned all sorts of things.
**[06:31] Angelica**
However...
**[06:32] Angelica**
none of it suited me in the least!
**[06:36] Rick**
I see.
**[06:37] Angelica**
Which is why it is not as a noblewoman
**[06:41] Angelica**
but as a fighter that I wish to
contribute to the House of Diarmuit.
**[06:44] Angelica**
It is for that reason that I dream of
becoming the first female knight special class.
**[06:52] Angelica**
My scales are still tilted
toward my present suffering!
**[06:57] Rick**
Yes. I see that they are!
**[07:01] Rick**
Your fighting style uses a modified version
of the knights' sword work, right?
**[07:06] Angelica**
Y-Yes.
**[07:07] Rick**
If you have a sword, you get
even stronger. Is that right?
**[07:11] Angelica**
Yes, but the rule is that pugilists
fight with no weapons.
**[07:15] Rick**
Which is why I thought that a technique that
turns your hands into swords would be best!
**[07:19] Angelica**
Turn my hands... into swords?
**[07:22] Rick**
To that end, I've called
in a special teacher!
**[07:25] Rick**
Reanette-sensei!
**[07:27] Reanette**
I am pleased to be working
with you, Angelica-sama.
**[07:34] MC**
And now, the final match
between Block C's leaders!
**[07:39] MC**
They each have seven wins and one loss...
**[07:41] MC**
Silver Helgand versus Angelica Diarmuit!
**[07:44] MC**
Laugh or cry, only the winner will
advance to the tournament!
**[07:53] Tris**
Hey! What happened to my Angelica-chan?
**[07:56] Nicolas**
Having Silver as her opponent
puts her at a disadvantage.
**[07:59] Nicolas**
Angelica's elegant fighting style
won't work on him.
**[08:02] MC**
And now... combatants, fight!
**[08:12] MC**
Huh? Uh, and the winner
is... Angelica Diarmuit!
**[08:17] Reanette**
The results of her training
are clear to see.
**[08:19] Rick**
She's on a bit of a training high, though.
**[08:22] ref A**
Please calm down!
**[08:22] Angelica**
Training!
**[08:23] ref B**
The match is over!
**[08:25] Angelica**
I don't wanna die!
**[08:27] Angelica**
For some reason, the gazes
of the townspeople hurt me.
**[08:31] Angelica**
What did I do during the match?
**[08:34] Rick**
Well, you won, so it doesn't
really matter, does it?
**[08:38] Rick**
And now you're in the tournament. Right?
**[08:41] Reanette**
The townspeople must have felt
a threat to their beings.
**[08:44] Angelica**
A threat to their beings?!
**[08:46] Alicerette**
Rikkun's here!
**[08:50] Rick**
Alicerette-senpai!
**[08:52] Mizett**
Hey. We came.
**[08:54] Reanette**
Mizett-sama, what came of the rumors that
one of the Six Jewels is in the Empire?
**[09:00] Mizett**
No good. Not a whit of truth in 'em.
**[09:03] Rick**
So you ended up going for nothing.
**[09:05] Mizett**
Well, with these things, there's no way of
knowing without puttin' in the legwork.
**[09:10] Milicia**
Welcome!
**[09:12] Mizett**
Well, you're quite the looker, miss.
**[09:15] Mizett**
Tonight, would you like to spend some—
**[09:17] Gold**
Right this way, boss!
**[09:20] Broughston**
Yes.
**[09:21] Milicia**
Broughston-sama!
**[09:23] Mizett**
Huh?
**[09:28] Alicerette**
It's so yummy!
**[09:31] Milicia**
Thank you! I'll let my father
know you said that.
**[09:34] Mizett**
So, I hear you've been having a little fun.
**[09:37] Broughston**
Yes. We're going to win the tournament
and take one of the Six Jewels.
**[09:43] Alicerette**
I want to enter too!
**[09:45] Rick**
You'll destroy the whole arena, so no.
**[09:47] Broughston**
Angelica, was it?
**[09:50] Broughston**
You're in the tournament, too, aren't you?
**[09:53] Angelica**
Yes. And I've had Rick
and Reanette train me.
**[09:58] Broughston**
I see.
**[09:59] Angelica**
I thought they were going
to kill me so many times.
**[10:02] Rick**
But, unlike me, you've got talent, Angelica!
**[10:06] Rick**
She learned really quickly.
**[10:08] Angelica**
Even so, there just isn't enough time.
**[10:11] Broughston**
Your training will never betray you.
**[10:13] Broughston**
However short the time was, the sincerity of
your efforts will bring positive returns.
**[10:18] Mizett**
Right. Trustin' in your
own hard work is important.
**[10:22] Reanette**
Angelica-sama, you are
fully capable of this.
**[10:24] Alicerette**
Don't know what's going
on, but you can do it!
**[10:27] Rick**
Let's show them the results of our training!

**[10:46] MC**
The 113th King of Fist
Tournament is about to begin.
**[10:52] MC**
These men and women have won their way
through the fierce qualifying rounds!
**[10:57] MC**
Through an impartial lottery,
these will be our tournament matchups!
**[11:03] MC**
In the first match, we have Herman
Mueller versus Geith Resurrect!
**[11:07] MC**
Geith is the contestant entered by our
tournament sponsor, the Dragonaut Company.
**[11:12] MC**
In the second match, we have
Angelica Diarmuit versus Doug Heap!
**[11:18] MC**
Our third match will be
Rick Gladiatol versus Selina Kaine.
**[11:23] Rick; internal**
*I'm so glad I don't have to fight Senpai!*
**[11:25] Rick; internal**
*If I did, I'd just withdraw, though.*
**[11:30] MC**
The fifth match will be
Donnie Fischer versus Broughston Ashorc.
**[11:34] Gold**
Bossman!
**[11:36] Milicia**
Broughston-sama!
**[11:37] Gold**
Hey, quit starin' at the boss
with those weirdly amorous looks.
**[11:40] Milicia**
I'm not doing that!
**[11:42] Gold**
I'm not so sure about that.
**[11:44] Milicia**
I said I'm not, so I'm not!
**[11:45] MC**
Our eighth match will be
Eddie Grace versus...
**[11:48] MC**
three-time winner of the King of Fists
Tournament and dominance personified...
**[11:52] MC**
our champion, Kelvin Wolwolf!
**[11:57] gym member A**
I wonder how he's feeling this year.
**[12:00] Daniel**
Regardless of what shape he's in,
Kelvin will win in the end.
**[12:04] MC**
Those are the pairings for the first round.
**[12:07] MC**
We're taking bets on each matchup.
**[12:09] MC**
Make your predictions and walk away rich!
**[12:12] Angelica**
Did you notice?
**[12:13] Rick**
Huh? Notice what?
**[12:15] Angelica**
The tournament draw.
**[12:17] Angelica**
Geith won't fight Kelvin or
Broughston until the final.
**[12:22] Rick**
So, they figured those two are trouble
and kept them away from him?
**[12:26] Angelica**
The match-fixing has already begun.
**[12:29] Angelica**
It's likely that they mean to impress the
spectators with Geith's strength early on.
**[12:32] Angelica**
Then, when the time is right and the odds
are higher, Snape will place a bet.
**[12:37] Rick**
And if Geith deliberately loses that match,
they'll earn a huge amount of money.
**[12:44] Angelica**
Yes, and that's precisely why his
opponents can't be too strong.
**[12:48] Angelica**
I'll be up against him in the second round.
**[12:50] Angelica**
I'll make sure to destroy his plans there.
**[12:53] Rick**
What did you plan to do if you didn't
run into him until the final?
**[13:02] Rick**
Hey, Angelica?
**[13:07] Angelica**
My going up against him was a given!
**[13:09] Rick**
So you didn't even consider it, huh?
**[13:14] Geith**
This is so boring.
**[13:18] Kelvin**
Hey, guys.
**[13:20] Kelvin**
You actually made it here.
**[13:24] Broughston**
Yes. We've come to take that belt.
**[13:27] Kelvin**
I've been looking forward to this.
**[13:29] Rick**
Yes, I'll do my very best!
**[13:31] Broughston**
Let's meet in the semi-final round.
**[13:36] Daniel**
That's the face of a challenger.
**[13:39] Kelvin**
Maybe it is.
**[13:41] Daniel**
Makes me remember the way
you were back then.
**[13:45] (Flashback) Daniel**
This is my gym.
**[13:48] (Flashback) Daniel**
It's not very big, but we've had members in
the semis at the King of Fists Tournament.
**[13:53] (Flashback) Kelvin**
And where are these semifinalists or whatever?
**[13:57] (Flashback) Kelvin**
Let me see what they're made of.
**[14:01] (Flashback) Daniel**
That's Garron. He made it to the semis.
**[14:04] (Flashback) Kelvin**
Really? Is it all right for me to kill him?
**[14:06] (Flashback) gym member A**
Hey! Killing gets you disqualified.
**[14:08] (Flashback) Daniel**
Also, weapons and armor are forbidden.
**[14:11] (Flashback) Daniel**
There are no other rules.
The last man standing wins.
**[14:15] (Flashback) Kelvin**
Perfect. Don't think badly
of me if I hurt you, semifinalist.
**[14:24] (Flashback) gym member A**
So he can't beat Garron, huh?
**[14:27] (Flashback) gym member A**
Still, he did pretty well.
**[14:28] (Flashback) Daniel**
Yes. His battle sense is the real thing.
**[14:32] (Flashback) Daniel**
He's this strong without
being taught by anyone.
**[14:35] (Flashback) Daniel**
With some refinement,
he'll be an incredible fighter.
**[14:40] Daniel**
When you first got a taste of defeat...
That moment changed you.
**[14:45] Kelvin**
Yeah. When I lost to someone stronger,
I trained harder and beat them.
**[14:50] Kelvin**
Then I lost to even stronger guys
and trained even harder.
**[14:54] Kelvin**
That was the true battle
I'd sought for so long.
**[15:06] MC; male**
*Wh-Wh-What's this?*
**[15:08] MC; male**
* In his first tournament, Kelvin has*
* claimed an overwhelming victory!*
**[15:12] MC; male**
* He's strong. He's too strong! This can*
* only be called overwhelming strength!*
**[15:16] MC; male**
* In the 107th tournament, a new*
* champion... Kelvin Wolwolf, is born!*
**[15:26] Daniel**
Has it been six years since then?
**[15:31] Daniel**
You're all fired up, aren't you?
**[15:33] MC**
And now, we have the first
match of round one!
**[15:37] MC**
Herman Mueller versus Geith Resurrect!
**[15:40] MC**
Ready... combatants, fight!
**[15:46] Geith**
Oh, did we start?
**[15:49] Herman**
You should take this seriously!
**[15:55] Geith**
You're annoying!
**[15:59] Nicolas**
One swing has that much power?
**[16:02] Herman**
I just need to make sure you never connect!
**[16:06] Herman; internal**
*What's going on with this guy?*
**[16:08] Herman; internal**
* This isn't in the normal realm of*
* endurance or defensive strength!*
**[16:14] Geith**
This guy really is a pain!
**[16:19] Herman**
I can't see anything!
**[16:22] Geith**
Oh. Did I get him?
**[16:28] MC**
*K-KO! It's a one-hit knock out!*
**[16:33] MC**
*Winner, Geith Resurrect!*
**[16:36] Geith**
Quit buzzing so loudly, you blasted insects.
**[16:41] MC**
* Has the sponsor's slot ever had*
* a competitor of this level?*
**[16:45] MC**
*What an incredible dark horse!*
**[16:47] Angelica**
He really is strong, isn't he?
**[16:50] Rick**
But he's a strange one.
**[16:52] Rick**
He's got all that power, and he's tough,
**[16:54] Rick**
but he moves like an amateur.
**[16:56] Angelica**
You're right. It is strange.
**[16:58] Angelica**
But in terms of convincing the crowd of his
strength, this match served its purpose.
**[17:06] Rick**
Whoops!
**[17:12] MC**
And now we have the final
match of round one!
**[17:15] MC**
Eddie Grace versus the reigning
champion, Kelvin Wolwolf!
**[17:22] Broughston**
Now he will show us what he's got.
**[17:25] Rick**
Yes.
**[17:26] MC**
Now, combatants... fight!
**[17:31] Kelvin; internal**
*A feint.*
**[17:35] Rick**
It's not that his reaction was fast.
**[17:38] Rick**
More than reading his opponent's movement,
it was like he already knew what was coming.
**[17:42] Broughston**
Perhaps he trained the excellent
olfactory senses dog people possess
**[17:46] Broughtson**
and understood it through smell.
**[17:49] Broughston**
Electrical signals, adrenaline...
all those minute changes.
**[17:53] Broughston**
To put a name to it, it might
be called Future Scenting.
**[17:56] Rick**
He's strong, isn't he?
**[17:58] Broughston**
Yes, he is a magnificent pugilist.
**[18:05] Broughston**
He took a hit?
**[18:07] Mizett**
That he did.
**[18:08] Angelica**
Kelvin seemed sort of slow to me, but...
**[18:11] Mizett**
It's not that he's slow so much as...
**[18:14] Reanette**
He allowed himself to be hit.
**[18:16] Rick**
He let it happen?
**[18:17] crowd**
Kelvin! You can do it!
**[18:20] crowd**
Get him! Go, Kelvin!
**[18:29] MC**
* It's over! He had us worried for a*
* while there, but he really is strong!*
**[18:35] MC**
*It's Kelvin Wolwolf!*
**[18:38] gym member A**
Man, why'd he have to
make us worry like that?
**[18:41] gym member A**
Kelvin is way too inconsistent.
**[18:44] MC**
* And now, everyone, I hope you'll*
* look forward to round two tomorrow!*
**[18:52] crowd 1**
I bet on Kelvin and Geith in round two!
**[18:54] crowd 2**
Me too! Me too!
**[18:55] crowd 3**
Geith is crazy strong!
**[18:58] Reanette**
It's nearly time.
**[19:00] Rick**
Yeah. It's time to show how
her training paid off!
**[19:03] Snape**
Hello, Rick-san.
**[19:05] Rick**
Snape-san.
**[19:08] Snape**
May I sit here?
**[19:11] Rick**
Yes.
**[19:14] Snape**
I see you have an adorable
young lady accompanying you.
**[19:18] Snape**
Very pleased to meet you.
**[19:19] Alicerette**
Hey, mister? What's with the awful acting?
**[19:24] Mizett**
Alicerette, grown-ups have
grown-up stuff to deal with, y'know?
**[19:29] Alicerette**
Oh. That must be hard!
**[19:32] Snape**
Dear me. I have to admit I'm at a loss here.
**[19:36] Rick**
You aren't going to watch
from the VIP seats?
**[19:39] Snape**
You understand, don't you?
**[19:41] Snape**
This match is between my little
brother and my fiancée.
**[19:44] Snape**
You'd want to watch it
up close, wouldn't you?
**[19:49] Geith**
I drank way too much.
**[19:52] Angelica**
Geith!
**[19:53] Geith**
Yeah? What d'you want?
**[19:57] Angelica**
I'm your opponent today!
**[20:00] Geith**
Oh. So you're that human female, huh?
**[20:03] Geith**
It'll ruin the visuals at the wedding,
so Snape told me not to injure your face.
**[20:09] Angelica**
I wonder how long you'll be
able to remain so relaxed.
**[20:12] Angelica**
I'll show you what the results
of hard work look like.
**[20:16] Geith**
Hard work?
**[20:18] Geith**
All you ever do is train like some
moron who learned just one trick!
**[20:21] Geith**
Meanwhile, I just spend my father's money on
fun, and you're still weaker than me, you insect!
**[20:27] Angelica**
That's a lie.
**[20:29] Angelica**
It's impossible to have a physique
like that without training.
**[20:32] Geith**
What's the point of a lie like that?
**[20:35] Geith**
I just live my life, and my body
turns out like this on its own.
**[20:39] Geith**
Must be that thing some
people call genius, right?
**[20:42] Geith**
Now, you just be a good girl.
**[20:44] Geith**
I'll make sure not to hit your stomach so
that you'll be able to carry Snape's kids.
**[20:52] Angelica**
I will pulverize him!
**[20:56] MC**
*Our second round begins now!*
**[20:59] MC**
* The first match is Geith Resurrect*
* versus Angelica Diarmuit!*
**[21:04] Tris**
Angelica-chan!
**[21:06] MC**
And now, combatants, fight!
**[21:09] Angelica**
Flickering Feet!
**[21:13] Geith**
You know that won't work on me!
**[21:25] Angelica; internal**
* As I thought, my attacks aren't*
* enough to cause any damage.*
**[21:37] Snape**
She released her strengthening magic?
**[21:40] Geith**
What're you trying to do, huh?
**[21:42] Angelica**
Here I go.
**[21:45] Reanette**
Angelica-sama, you are
fully capable of this.
**[21:48] Angelica**
Magic Flow, Reverse Reflection!
**[21:52] Geith**
Whatever you're trying to do, it won't work!
**[21:54] Angelica**
Flickering Feet!

Weaklings should just stay quiet and obey!

All right!

Impossible!
**[00:15] Snape**
Even the sharpest sword shouldn't
be able to scratch Geith's skin!
**[00:20] Rick**
You shouldn't look down
on Angelica. That's...
**[00:24] Reanette**
One of the secret techniques
of body control.
**[00:34] (Flashback) Angelica**
She did that without magic
using just her bare hands?
**[00:36] (Flashback) Reanette**
It's a technique called Thread Slash.
**[00:39] (Flashback) Rick**
Angelica, this is what I want you to learn.
**[00:42] (Flashback) Angelica**
These monsters certainly seem
to ask for the impossible.
**[00:45] (Flashback) Reanette**
It isn't impossible.
**[00:48] (Flashback) Reanette**
Even Rick-sama can do it.
**[00:49] (Flashback) Angelica**
"Even Rick"?
**[00:51] (Flashback) Rick**
Though, I can't manage
this level of precision.
**[00:54] (Flashback) Reanette**
The trick is to feel the air and swing
through lightly but completely.
**[00:59] (Flashback) Angelica**
Feel the air.
**[01:01] (Flashback) Angelica**
Swing through lightly and completely.
**[01:04] Angelica**
*It's true that if I manage to learn this...*
**[01:08] Rick**
Angelica had a hard time grasping it, but...
**[01:11] Reanette**
She practiced more than she ever had
and of her own volition.
**[01:14] Reanette**
By incorporating the technique
Magic Flow, Reverse Reflection,
**[01:18] Reanette**
she learned it by re-imagining
it in her own style.
**[01:21] Mizett**
It's a technique that releases magical
energy stored within the body
**[01:24] Mizett**
in a short burst that's more
powerful than usual.

Angelica-sama is the only one who can
perform this move this way.
**[01:42] Angelica**
It looks like it worked.

Thread Slash!
**[03:22] Geith**
You're annoying!
**[03:34] Angelica**
A move like that won't work on me!
**[03:36] Angelica**
Thread Slash!
**[03:39] Snape**
Quite the entertaining technique.
**[03:42] Geith**
Blast you!
**[03:45] Angelica**
Doing it over and over
won't change the outcome!
**[03:50] Geith**
I'm done holding back!
**[03:55] Geith**
Sorry, Snape! With prey as
entertaining as this, I can't resist!
**[04:01] Geith**
I'm gonna do as I like with her!
**[04:04] Snape**
Honestly. So temperamental.
**[04:06] Angelica**
This is nothing.
**[04:09] Angelica**
Flickering Feet, Thousandths!
**[04:12] Angelica**
Thread Sla—!
**[04:15] Angelica**
Have courage! Flickering Feet, Thousandths!
**[04:18] Geith**
I'm already sick of seeing that.
**[04:21] Geith**
"Flickering," is it?
**[04:23] Geith**
After seeing it so much...
**[04:24] Geith**
anyone can tell how it's done.
**[04:27] Angelica**
Wha—?
**[04:31] Geith**
There's nothing better than trampling some
mediocre trash into utter humiliation!
**[04:36] Rick**
Angelica!
**[04:37] Snape**
You understand now, don't you?
Geith's strength is the real thing.
**[04:42] Snape**
It was back when I was a famous pugilist...
**[04:46] Snape**
I first met Geith, my adopted sibling,
when he was eight years old.
**[04:50] Snape**
And then...
**[04:53] Snape**
in our sparring match, he beat me
so soundly that I couldn't stand.
**[05:00] Snape**
That's what made me decide to retire.
**[05:04] Snape**
Geith is a perfect prodigy, born with
every talent necessary for combat.
**[05:10] Snape**
He's a true monster.
**[05:14] Geith**
So, no matter how many years some crappy,
average trash trains, this is all they amount to?
**[05:18] Geith**
You must hate your papa and mama
for passing down no talent.
**[05:23] Geith**
Oh, wait. Your papa and mama
have already snuffed it, right?
**[05:27] Geith**
I guess the parents of trash
are trash themselves, huh?
**[05:31] Snape**
It seems that Angelica-san
suspects me of fixing the matches,
**[05:36] Snape**
but there's no need for such petty trickery.
**[05:39] Rick**
What? Then, that means...
**[05:41] Snape**
For the unknown competitor in the
sponsor's slot to become champion...
**[05:44] Snape**
That's something no one would imagine
possible before the tournament, is it?
**[05:48] Snape**
And with those steep odds,
I've placed a large bet on Geith to win.
**[05:54] Geith**
Hey, come on! What's the matter,
you crappy bore?
**[06:01] Geith**
Come on! Show me the results
of your training or whatever!
**[06:07] Geith**
Uh oh. I wasn't thinking
and kicked your stomach.
**[06:12] Tris**
Angelica-chan...
**[06:14] Nicolas**
It's cruel what he's doing to her.
**[06:16] Rick**
She must've reached her limit already!
**[06:19] Angelica**
You won't... beat me.
**[06:23] Geith**
What I want to see is the moment you break.
**[06:27] Geith**
No matter what some stupid,
mediocre trash tries,
**[06:30] Geith**
they'll never beat a prodigy, and I want
to see the moment you realize that!
**[06:34] Angelica; internal**
*I don't want to lose.*
**[06:37] Angelica; internal**
*After all, my scales...*
**[06:43] Angelica; internal**
*They're still...*
**[06:49] Geith**
Oh dear. That's a bad move.
**[06:54] Geith**
If you do something like that to me,
it makes me want to kill you!
**[07:00] Rick**
Stop! This match is already over!
**[07:15] MC**
*S-Stop right there! This match is over!*
**[07:18] MC**
*The winner is Geith!*
**[07:20] Geith; internal**
*I was made to miss?*
**[07:23] Geith; internal**
*Who would do something so insolent?*
**[07:27] Geith; internal**
*It was you, was it?*
**[07:38] Reanette**
Miss Angelica...
**[07:39] Mizett**
I can't bear to see a lady suffer like that.
**[07:48] Geith**
Hey there. You went and did it back there.
**[07:53] Geith**
I had the perfect prey,
but you made me miss my kill.
**[07:58] Geith**
Hey. Say something!
**[08:03] Rick**
Now, don't be so hasty.
**[08:05] Rick**
There's no point in beating you here.
**[08:08] Rick**
I'm going to send you flying in
front of all those spectators.
**[08:16] Geith**
I can't wait until tomorrow.
**[08:22] Mizett**
Oh dear.
**[08:24] MC**
* One blow! Unbelievable!*
* It took just one blow!*
**[08:28] MC**
*The winner is Rick Gladiatol!*
**[08:33] healer**
There was a lot of damage, so her
treatment is taking a while,
**[08:37] healer**
but there is no risk to her life.
**[08:40] Rick**
I see.
**[08:42] Rick; internal**
* She went so far as to put herself*
* through that hellish training*
**[08:44] Rick; internal**
* because she couldn't give up her*
* attitude toward life or her dreams.*
**[08:48] Rick; internal**
*She must feel so angry and frustrated.*
**[08:52] MC**
*Broughston deals just one blow, too!*
**[08:54] MC**
* At this point, one could even say*
* there is beauty in that form!*
**[08:58] Milicia**
Broughston-sama!
**[09:00] Gold**
That's the boss for you!
**[09:07] MC**
*What's this? Milene's kick lands a clean hit!*
**[09:13] MC**
*But the champion doesn't waver!*
**[09:15] MC**
*Winner, Kelvin Wolwolf!*
**[09:19] Daniel**
Not at your best today, either?
**[09:22] MC**
Now we have our semifinalists of
the 113th King of Fists Tournament!
**[09:28] MC**
*Who will the champion belt go to?*
**[09:31] MC**
*Don't miss tomorrow's semifinals!*

**[10:03] Rick**
Angelica!
**[10:04] Rick**
You're already better?
**[10:06] Angelica**
Yes.
**[10:07] Rick**
Oh, did Broughston-senpai heal you?
**[10:10] Rick**
But you still shouldn't
push yourself too hard.
**[10:12] Rick**
People tend to misunderstand healing
through holy magic as complete recovery,
**[10:17] Rick**
but any damage deep in the body
and the fatigue remains, you know?
**[10:21] Angelica**
Right.
**[10:23] Rick**
Well then, I'll be going.
**[10:26] Angelica**
I'm sorry.
**[10:30] Angelica**
You trained me even though there was
no benefit to yourself, and yet...
**[10:35] Angelica**
I made you waste your time on me,
someone with no talent at all.
**[10:41] Angelica**
I'm sorry.
**[10:43] Rick**
Angelica...
**[10:45] Angelica**
I rebelled against the role of a
noblewoman being forced upon me.
**[10:50] Angelica**
I can walk on my own two feet...
**[10:53] Angelica**
I can achieve my dreams...
**[10:55] Angelica**
I so wanted to prove that!
**[11:00] Angelica**
Perhaps marrying Snape as I
was told to won't be so bad.
**[11:04] Angelica**
He'll treat me well, and I probably
won't need to work at all.
**[11:08] Rick**
No, I'm the one who should apologize.
**[11:11] Rick**
Angelica, you worked as hard as you could.
**[11:14] Rick**
This is my fault for not discerning
Geith's true strength.
**[11:18] Rick**
I'm sorry.
**[11:19] Angelica**
N-No, that isn't...
**[11:21] Rick**
Watch this next match closely!
**[11:24] Rick**
I'll show you what lies beyond
the training you went through!
**[11:27] Angelica**
What?
**[11:30] Angelica**
Beyond... that training?
**[11:32] MC**
It's the semifinals at last!
**[11:35] MC**
* Our first bout is Geith Resurrect*
* versus Rick Gladiatol!*
**[11:39] MC**
*Which of them will advance to the finals?*
**[11:42] Geith**
Hey, is that woman all right?
**[11:45] Geith**
I did a bad thing yesterday,
so I was thinking of apologizing.
**[11:49] Rick**
What?
**[11:50] Geith**
If I'd killed her,
**[11:52] Geith**
then she wouldn't have had to endure her
miserable life tormented by her lack of ability.
**[11:59] Geith**
So I wanted to say I'm sorry
I failed to kill her.
**[12:05] MC**
Now, the first bout of the semifinals begins.
**[12:07] MC**
Combatants, fight!
**[12:09] Geith**
Bring it on!
**[12:11] Geith**
Show me the crappy results
of your worthless hard work!
**[12:14] Geith**
Come on, you mediocre piece of—
**[12:21] Geith**
You...
**[12:22] Rick**
I guess the blow of an average person
can bring a prodigy to his knees.
**[12:26] Rick**
Get up. With you looking so pathetic,
I can't possibly hit you any more.
**[12:31] Geith**
What a load of crap.
**[12:33] Geith**
Don't get cocky just because
you happened to land one blow!
**[12:42] Angelica**
That worked? On Geith's
Iron Body? What power...
**[12:47] Reanette**
No, he's hardly used his strength at all.
**[12:50] Angelica**
What?
**[12:50] Reanette**
It's one of the body control techniques.
**[12:53] Broughston**
He used a Through Attack.
**[12:55] Mizett**
The force of the blow doesn't land on the
outside of the body, it bores its way inside.
***SIGN*** Through
Attack
**[13:01] Mizett**
No matter how tough that dragonid lad might
be, if he's hit with such perfect timing...
**[13:07] Mizett**
Well, that's gonna hurt.
**[13:09] Rick**
You can withdraw if you want.
**[13:11] Geith**
You can't be serious.
Don't you look down on me!
**[13:15] Geith**
This strengthening magic is
inherent to dragonids...
**[13:18] Geith**
Dragon Forze!
**[13:20] Rick**
Really?
**[13:21] Geith**
Let's go!
**[13:27] Broughston**
I see. Rick, you intend to use
this bout to that end?
**[13:40] Broughston**
This strengthening magic, Dragon Forze...
**[13:43] Broughston**
From what I see, it seems like it would
burn through a lot of magical energy.
**[13:47] Snape**
Yes.
**[13:48] Snape**
Geith hasn't trained his magical capacity at
all. It's exactly what he was born with.
**[13:53] Rick**
Seriously?
**[13:54] Rick**
Do you have any idea how much trouble I've
had because of my limited magical energy?
**[13:58] Geith**
How is that *my* problem?
Go complain to your garbage parents.
**[14:02] Rick**
I'll have to refuse!
**[14:04] Rick**
Through Attack!
**[14:07] Geith**
Iron Body. That's not gonna work.
**[14:13] Geith**
Here you go!
**[14:14] Angelica**
Thread Slash and Through Attack, too?
**[14:18] Geith**
The crowd has gone quiet.
**[14:21] Geith**
They're saying that a prodigy beating a
mediocre guy is so obvious it's boring.
**[14:26] Snape**
It is the obvious result,
**[14:29] Snape**
but it is a shame, isn't it?
**[14:30] Broughston**
Interesting. Is that how you see it?
**[14:35] Snape**
What do you mean?
**[14:37] Broughston**
For Rick, the way we see him
makes no difference.
**[14:42] Broughston**
Angelica.
**[14:44] Broughtson**
It's how *you* see him that's important.
**[14:47] Angelica**
What?
**[14:53] Rick**
You even have a lot of endurance!
**[14:55] Rick**
You're finally breathing hard, though.
**[14:58] Geith**
What's going on here?
**[15:00] Geith**
Why haven't you shed even a drop of blood?
**[15:04] Reanette**
It's one of the body control
techniques: Flowing Strikes.
**[15:08] Rick**
It's a technique that disperses
attacks within the body.
**[15:12] Rick**
Basically, I've hardly
taken any damage at all.
**[15:16] Geith**
Are you looking down on me?
You've been slacking all this time?
**[15:20] Rick**
Not quite, but your judgment is correct.
**[15:23] Rick**
In this bout, I restricted my physical
abilities to match Angelica's levels
**[15:29] Rick**
and fought all out.
**[15:31] Angelica**
My levels?
**[15:33] Reanette**
Exactly.
**[15:35] Mizett**
Though, that first blow
of 'is was born of rage.
**[15:40] Broughston**
For Rick, winning this match
isn't the only important thing.
**[15:45] Broughston**
Angelica, he wants to show you
your own potential.
**[15:49] Angelica**
What?
**[15:50] Broughston**
In short, this bout is Angelica versus
Geith, in a sort of virtual rematch.
**[15:59] Geith**
You dare play such inane tricks?
I will pulverize you with no mercy!
**[16:04] Rick**
Don't push yourself too hard!
**[16:06] Rick**
Think of your remaining strength,
then make your move!
**[16:08] Geith**
Iron Body!
**[16:10] Geith**
Forceful Fist!
**[16:11] Geith**
Flickering Feet!
**[16:15] Rick**
Through Attack!
**[16:19] Rick**
All your magic is in tatters
because you're so tired.
**[16:22] Rick**
You don't understand how things
turned out this way, right?
**[16:25] Rick**
After all, you've never tried hard enough
at anything to get tired before, have you?
**[16:29] Snape**
It can't be. It's not possible!
**[16:32] Snape**
You're telling me that Rick-san possesses
abilities that exceed Geith's talent?
**[16:37] Broughston**
Now that truly is impossible.
**[16:39] Mizett**
He's the most average of average.
**[16:41] Alicerette**
What're you talking about, mister?
**[16:44] Reanette**
He doesn't even possess
the "pro" in "prodigy."
**[16:46] Angelica**
Regardless of how little ability he may have,
is there a need to say it that way?
**[16:50] Broughston**
Given the fact that he began training after the
time for training his magic reserves had passed,
**[16:55] Broughston**
he could be said to be less than average.
**[16:57] Snape**
Then how is he overpowering a
super prodigy like Geith?
**[17:02] Broughston**
Angelica, you understand, don't you?
**[17:06] Angelica**
Yes.
**[17:07] Rick**
Since you've never been tired, you don't
know how to move when you're exhausted.
**[17:13] Rick**
That's why you can't maintain the
precision in your techniques.
**[17:17] Rick**
Those who work hard continue to push
themselves even through their fatigue.
**[17:21] Rick**
They keep going until they
can't move any more.
**[17:24] Rick**
The strength a person has after they've
exhausted themselves is that person's true strength.
**[17:29] Geith**
That's crap. It's a load of crap!
**[17:34] Rick**
It's true, you are a prodigy.
**[17:36] Rick**
After all, even without working at it,
you're this strong with just your inborn abilities.
**[17:41] Rick**
But as a prodigy, you're
still only at level 1.
**[17:46] Rick**
Real prodigies take the physique
and senses they were born with
**[17:50] Rick**
and put in more effort than
anyone else to hone them.
**[17:53] Rick**
I've seen prodigies at level
100, no, level 1000...
**[17:57] Rick**
The real deal amongst all
the genuine articles...
**[17:59] Rick**
I've gotten a much closer look at them
than I ever wanted, and that's how I know.
**[18:02] Rick**
I'm sure you must think
you're the strongest in the world,
**[18:06] Rick**
but it's just that, up until now, you've
only run into opponents you can beat.
**[18:11] Rick**
The world is vast, and you're
just a little lizard in a pond.
**[18:15] Geith**
Shut up. Shut up!
**[18:18] Geith**
Just shut up, you piece of crap!
**[18:21] Geith**
Greatest of Dragonid Inborn
Strengthening Magics...
**[18:31] Geith**
Dragon Ricorgen!
**[18:34] Angelica**
But he's basically a dragon now!
**[18:36] Snape**
Exactly. The origins of we dragonids
lie in the ancient dragons.
**[18:40] Snape**
He has called on that ancient blood.
**[18:50] Geith**
What was that? Was there a fly or something?
**[18:53] Rick**
It's like he's made of metal!
**[18:56] Rick; internal**
*And his attacks have gotten faster.*
**[19:00] Rick**
Really? You really did get lucky
with that body of yours.
**[19:04] Rick**
I don't think I can win!
**[19:05] Geith**
So you finally understand, you dolt?
**[19:08] Rick**
Yes, I understand.
**[19:10] Rick**
As she is right now, Angelica
has no hope of beating you.
**[19:14] Rick**
But does that mean that a slender young
girl can't beat a big, burly man?
**[19:19] Rick**
Should she just give up because
of the difference in build?
**[19:21] Rick**
There are some times when
that just isn't possible.
**[19:24] Rick**
And it's for those times that
she's trained herself to death!
**[19:28] Geith**
Huh?
**[19:30] Rick**
Six months.
**[19:35] Rick**
Nine months.
**[19:41] Geith**
Blast you!
**[19:42] Rick**
Twelve months.
**[19:45] Geith**
I can't see him.
**[19:46] Snape**
He's too fast.
**[19:48] Angelica**
What I can do now doesn't in
any way compare to that...
**[19:52] Angelica**
but that is definitely the
movement of Flickering Feet!
**[19:55] Angelica**
That is... That is...
**[19:59] Angelica**
That is my strength after continuing
that hellish training for a year!
**[20:07] Rick**
Ordinary hard work can't overcome
the difference in inborn abilities.
**[20:11] Rick**
It requires the madness to continue
to exert extraordinary efforts!
**[20:16] Rick**
Working yourself to death for
a month and still losing...
**[20:20] Rick**
Knowing that to win, a year of the
same hard work will be necessary!
**[20:24] Rick**
Which way are your scales leaning?
**[20:41] Angelica**
What a ridiculous question.
**[20:43] Angelica**
I was born with a scale that only
ever tilts in one direction!
**[20:53] Rick**
Now, what will you do, Geith?
**[20:55] Rick**
The only way you'll win now is if you have
the grit to struggle with everything you've got.
**[21:00] Rick**
But those are the actions you've
looked down on up until now.
**[21:04] Rick**
If you're capable of that,
I'll take you, head-on!
**[21:09] Geith**
Why should I do something that stupid?
**[21:15] Rick**
I guess I'll end this, then.
**[21:16] Geith**
Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!
**[21:19] Geith**
You're just some crappy,
mediocre piece of trash!
**[21:21] Rick**
The trick is...
**[21:22] Rick; Angelica**
to feel the air
**[21:26] Rick; Angelica**
and slice lightly and completely.
**[21:30] Rick; Angelica**
Thread Slash!
**[21:34] Rick**
It really doesn't work right when I
do it. I guess I use too much force?
**[21:39] Rick**
When Reanette does it, she slices things
in half and they just stay standing there.
**[21:49] Rick**
It's a good thing you didn't have your match
with Angelica next year instead, isn't it?

You're very calm.
**[00:48] Snape**
Yes, I am. I'm surprised myself.
**[00:52] Snape**
But perhaps I've wanted
to see Geith be denied.
**[00:58] Angelica**
What do you mean?
**[01:00] Snape**
To see Geith, who shattered my life as
a pugilist with his talent, denied.
**[01:07] Snape**
I have lost quite a lot, but,
to be honest, I don't feel too bad.
**[01:13] Alicerette**
He's talking about complicated
things, isn't he?
**[01:15] Mizett**
Isn't he? You see, grown-ups have
to deal with all sorts of things.

Though it is unfortunate
that you won't be my wife.

You don't know when to give up.
**[01:24] Angelica**
Now that you can't gather the
money to fulfill the contract,
**[01:27] Angelica**
it's like the talk of
betrothal never happened.
**[01:29] Angelica**
What a shame that you weren't able
to join the ranks of the nobility.
**[01:34] Snape**
Indeed.
**[01:35] Snape**
To welcome a lady as lovely as
you as my wife, Angelica-san...
**[01:40] Snape**
I was looking forward to that
from the bottom of my heart.
**[01:43] Angelica**
What?
**[01:44] Snape**
It is quite a shame indeed.
***SIGN*** Episode

***SIGN*** The Strongest Pugilist in History
**[01:50] Daniel**
How are you feeling?
**[01:53] Kelvin**
I couldn't possibly feel any better.
**[01:55] Daniel**
You're a great pugilist.
**[01:59] Kelvin**
Where's this coming from? Did you
eat something weird or something?
**[02:03] Daniel**
So don't worry about anything.
Just go give it everything you've got.
**[02:10] MC**
* And now, the second match*
* of the semi-finals!*
**[02:13] MC**
* The man who KO'd every opponent with*
* one hit, Broughston Ashorc, versus...*
**[02:18] MC**
*the three-time champion, Kelvin Wolwolf!*
**[02:24] Angelica**
That's an incredible amount of cheering.
**[02:26] Rick**
That's a champion for you!
**[02:28] Reanette**
Welcome back.
**[02:32] Kelvin; internal**
*This guy really is incredible.*
**[02:35] Kelvin; internal**
* He's just standing there,*
* but there isn't a single opening.*
**[02:39] MC**
*And now, combatants, fight!*
**[02:42] Kelvin**
First, let's try a few things out!
**[02:51] Crowd**
Whoa! Amazing!
**[02:53] Kelvin**
I'd expect no less of you, Broughston.
**[02:55] Kelvin**
You are, without a doubt,
the strongest opponent I've ever faced!
**[02:59] Broughston**
I'm honored.
**[03:02] Rick; Angelica**
What?!
**[03:09] Rick**
Geith?!
**[03:18] Snape**
Have the effects of the Dragon Ricorgen
caused his dragon blood to run rampant?
**[03:29] Kelvin**
Hey, you!
**[03:33] Kelvin**
We're in the middle of a match.
What do you think you're doing?
**[03:42] Kelvin**
Huh. That was a heftier
punch than I'd imagined.
**[03:45] Kelvin**
Not bad. But...
**[03:51] Kelvin**
It's not good to interfere in a match.
**[03:53] Angelica**
He knocked Geith out with one punch?
**[03:56] Rick**
The feeling I got was that Geith's
strength is that of a top-tier A-rank.
**[03:59] Reanette**
Yes. The champion may have
already stepped foot...
**[04:04] Reanette**
into the realm of S-rank.
**[04:06] MC**
*Everyone, our deepest apologies!*
**[04:09] MC**
* That incident has caused*
* a number of injuries!*
**[04:12] MC**
* To prioritize response and treatment,*
* we are rescheduling the match for tomorrow!*
**[04:18] Kelvin**
What? Well, I guess there's no other choice.
**[04:21] Kelvin**
I feel like things were
going well for me back there.
**[04:23] Broughston**
Do you think so? I see
uncertainty in your strikes.
**[04:33] Mizett**
The only objective we have is the Six Jewels.
Don't let this get you down.
**[04:38] Alicerette**
Broughs-kun or Rikkun
just need to win, right?
**[04:44] Angelica**
Speaking of which, where is Rick?
**[04:46] Reanette**
He's gone out jogging... to
the Claristia territory.
**[04:51] Angelica**
It's 700 kilometers there and back.
**[04:54] Reanette**
Yes. At this moment, he should
be near the kingdom's borders.
**[04:57] Angelica**
I'm not surprised by anything anymore.
**[05:07] Rick**
That mountain...
**[05:12] Rick**
reminds me of Reanette.
**[05:20] Rick**
Doing some training?
**[05:22] Rick**
Sorry to just pop out of nowhere.
I heard a lot of noise.
**[05:26] Kelvin**
You, huh?
**[05:28] Kelvin**
And this used to be the perfect place,
where no one bothered me.
**[05:34] Rick**
The match is tomorrow. Aren't you
worried about overworking your body?
**[05:38] Kelvin**
Well, it got postponed.
This is perfect.
**[05:42] Kelvin**
How about you be my sparring
partner for a bit?
**[05:46] Kelvin**
I've got all this excess energy, you see?
**[05:49] Rick**
Well, I guess I've got to help, then!
**[05:53] Rick**
So this is Future Scenting?
**[05:55] Rick**
All right. Let's do what we always do!
**[06:02] Kelvin; internal**
*He's so fast!*
**[06:04] Rick**
It really is strange.
**[06:06] Rick**
If you can dodge this, why did you get
hit like that back in the tournament?
**[06:11] Rick**
*Could it be...*
**[06:12] Kelvin**
Huh?
**[06:13] Rick**
Was your nose stuffed up or something?
**[06:15] Kelvin**
No, it wasn't!
**[06:17] Kelvin**
But you have good instincts.
**[06:20] Kelvin**
With how strong you are,
you might understand.
**[06:26] Kelvin**
I grew up in the slums, and fighting was
the thing I looked forward to the most,
**[06:30] Kelvin**
but at some point, there wasn't anything
I could call a fight anymore.
**[06:35] Kelvin**
After I came to Heractopia,
things were good, at first.
**[06:40] MC; male**
* In the 107th tournament, a new champion,*
* Kelvin Wolwolf, has been born!*
**[06:47] Kelvin; internal**
*This is bad.*
**[06:49] Kelvin; internal**
*This is just me winning over and over again.*
**[06:53] (Flashback) Daniel**
Good. Good.
**[06:57] MC; male**
*In the 108th King of Fists Tournament,*
**[07:00] MC; male**
* Kelvin Wolwolf succeeds in*
* winning his second tournament in a row!*
**[07:03] MC; male**
* And what's more, in every match, he KO'd his*
* opponents with a single blow in under a minute!*
**[07:09] Kelvin; internal**
*It ended up being the same here too.*
**[07:12] Kelvin; internal**
*Still...*
**[07:14] Kelvin; internal**
* if the owner's happy for me,*
* then maybe it's not so bad.*
**[07:19] Kelvin**
Even in the arena fights,
I couldn't get that rush anymore.
**[07:24] Kelvin**
Getting stronger was the only
thing left to look forward to.
**[07:27] Kelvin**
so I threw all my heart into training.
**[07:32] (Flashback) Daniel**
Lately, the crowds at the
matches haven't been good.
**[07:35] (Flashback) clerk**
Well, when every match ends with a
one-punch KO, you get tired of it.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Daniel**
So what are we supposed to do, huh?
**[07:43] (Flashback) Daniel**
Are you saying you want to make
Kelvin throw some fights?
**[07:46] (Flashback) clerk**
I would never say that!
**[07:49] (Flashback) clerk**
But this could lead to a reduced interest
in fighting matches in general.
**[07:55] (Flashback) clerk**
If that happens, then our gym will—
**[07:57] (Flashback) Daniel**
If it happens, it happens.
It doesn't bother me.
**[08:00] MC; male**
* The 109th King of Fists Tournament*
* reaches the finals at last!*
**[08:05] Kelvin; internal**
* If it causes problems for the owner,*
* I don't need to stay champion. But...*
**[08:13] Kelvin; internal**
*He's so slow.*
**[08:14] Kelvin; internal**
*I could still dodge it.*
**[08:16] Kelvin; internal**
*No, that's right. I shouldn't dodge here.*
**[08:20] (Flashback) Daniel**
Kelvin!
**[08:25] MC; male**
*What's this?! Kelvin Wolwolf is down!*
**[08:29] Kelvin; internal**
*They sure are having fun.*
**[08:31] Kelvin; internal**
*That's right. This is for the best.*
**[08:33] (Flashback) opponent**
Yeah!
**[08:34] MC; male**
*The champion can be beaten!*
**[08:37] MC; male**
* The undefeated champion has*
* been beaten in a huge upset!*
**[08:41] Kelvin**
From the next tournament onward, I played
a fighter with good days and bad days.
**[08:46] Kelvin**
I tailored it so that the crowds would love
the matches and still won three times in a row.
**[08:52] Kelvin**
And that's why I can't take a fight seriously.
**[08:57] Kelvin**
If I fight so that the matches
are exciting, they draw crowds.
**[09:01] Kelvin**
And the gym prospers, too.
**[09:04] Kelvin**
You may think the whole situation
is ridiculous, though.
**[09:09] Rick**
The strongest really do have it tough.
**[09:11] Kelvin**
Huh? You're one to talk.
**[09:14] Rick**
But I don't think you'll be able
to talk like that after tomorrow.
**[09:19] Rick**
I'm being serious here.
**[09:22] Kelvin**
Were you even listening to me?
**[09:24] Rick**
I think it'll probably be fine! Bye, then!

**[09:43] MC**
*Sorry to keep you waiting!*
**[09:45] MC**
* The second semi-final match which was*
* postponed yesterday will now restart!*
**[09:47] Milicia**
Broughston-sama!
**[09:49] Gold**
Yeah!
**[09:52] MC**
* Today, for safety reasons, defensive magic*
* has been cast over the spectators seating.*
**[09:58] MC**
* Everyone, please watch the*

**[10:01] Kelvin**
Well, we get a fresh start.
Let's have some fun.
**[10:05] MC**
And now, combatants, fight!
**[10:12] Kelvin**
Take this!
**[10:15] Kelvin**
Rolling Fang!
**[10:22] Angelica**
He rotated his arm at high speed
to increase the force of the blow.
**[10:24] Angelica**
That will blow a person's guard aside, too!
**[10:26] Rick**
If it can knock senpai's hand away,
it must be really powerful!
**[10:29] Kelvin**
This is it!
**[10:32] Kelvin; internal**
*No, this is...*
**[10:38] Kelvin**
You're a beast.
**[10:40] Broughston**
Though you say that, you are
unchanged from yesterday.
**[10:44] Broughston**
I might even say that you are
slacking in your fighting.
**[10:48] Kelvin**
Did that guy say something?
**[10:50] Broughston**
I had heard that the champion
is a professional pugilist.
**[10:54] Broughston**
I see.
**[10:56] Broughston**
For the sake of the
spectators gathered here,
**[10:59] Broughston**
you must intentionally limit
your strength as you fight.
**[11:03] Kelvin**
Your assessment is largely correct.
**[11:06] crowd**
What is that?
**[11:07] crowd 2**
What are they talking about?
**[11:11] Kelvin**
Your strength is the real thing.
**[11:13] Kelvin**
And that's why if I fight seriously here,
everything I've done until now will get exposed.
**[11:18] Broughston**
I see. I understand the general gist.
**[11:21] Kelvin**
A pro that deceives the fans?
Makes you sick to hear it, right?
**[11:26] Broughston**
No. You are putting the
spectators ahead of yourself.
**[11:30] Broughston**
One might say that that is
how all pros should behave.
**[11:33] Broughston**
Though it is unfortunate that I will not
be able to fight you at full strength.
**[11:37] Kelvin**
Sorry. Thanks for understanding.
**[11:41] Broughston**
In which case, I shall answer
with appropriate strength.
**[11:45] Broughston**
I will fight using just these two fingers.
**[11:49] Kelvin**
What did you say?
**[11:51] Broughston**
And I shall not move one
step from this spot.
**[11:55] Broughston**
This should allow for us to
have a reasonably good match.
**[11:59] Kelvin**
Well, it's not like I can tell you
to quit messing around, right?
**[12:03] Kelvin**
That works for me!
**[12:07] Kelvin; internal**
*He's seriously blocking me!*
**[12:09] Kelvin**
Rolling Fang!
**[12:12] Kelvin**
What?!
**[12:20] Kelvin**
* He's planning to pressure me just enough*
* that it looks like a good fight, huh?*
**[12:24] Alicerette**
Broughs-kun is doing some interesting stuff.
**[12:27] Mizett**
Yeah. He's proper clever, y'know?
**[12:32] crowd**
Kelvin! Kelvin! Kelvin!
**[12:38] Kelvin; internal**
* If we were fighting for real,*
* this would be even more fun, wouldn't it?*
**[12:42] Kelvin; internal**
* Giving up the chance to have it*
* out with a guy this strong...*
**[12:46] Kelvin; internal**
*I wish it was different.*
**[12:48] Kelvin; internal**
* I have a ton of things I want*
* to test out in a fight.*
**[12:54] Daniel**
You moron!
**[12:59] Daniel**
I can see right through you, Kelvin!
**[13:03] Daniel**
You're only pretending to fight for real!
Did you really think I'd miss that?
**[13:09] Daniel**
What is it that you misunderstood?
Why are you fighting?
**[13:14] Kelvin**
I just wanted you to...
**[13:16] Daniel**
My dream is to train up the
strongest pugilist in history!
**[13:21] Daniel**
I've staked my whole life on that dream!
**[13:24] Daniel**
I want you to become the
strongest, Kelvin Wolwolf!
**[13:34] Kelvin**
Are you sure? Is it really all right?
**[13:39] Daniel**
My dream and what you want
to do are the same thing.
**[13:43] Daniel**
You should do what you want to do.
**[13:48] Kelvin**
You're really not cut out for business.
**[13:51] Kelvin**
In that case...
**[13:54] Kelvin**
I'm gonna fight to my heart's content!
**[13:59] Kelvin**
This is crazy. I'm so happy, it's amazing.
**[14:03] Kelvin**
I can't believe I can fight for real!
**[14:06] Broughston**
So there is no need for acting anymore?
**[14:09] Kelvin**
That's right! Sorry to keep you waiting.
**[14:12] Kelvin**
Starting now, I'm going all out.
**[14:22] Kelvin**
You're using all five fingers there.
**[14:24] Kelvin**
Was that by accident?
**[14:27] Broughston**
No. I merely blocked using
the appropriate strength.
**[14:37] Kelvin**
Rolling Fang!
**[14:42] Kelvin**
You're wide open!
**[14:48] Kelvin**
Iron Body!
**[14:55] Broughston**
Oh. That's magnificent.
**[14:57] Kelvin**
Broughston, you're the best!
**[15:00] crowd**
This is too incredible.
**[15:02] crowd 2**
It's on a completely different
level from battles up to now.
**[15:04] crowd 3**
Which means...
**[15:06] crowd 4**
He's been slacking up to now?
**[15:07] crowd 5; female**
He's been tricking us!
**[15:09] crowd 6**
What? That's not how a
champion should behave!
**[15:10] crowd 7**
What a letdown.
**[15:13] Kelvin; internal**
*I can't go back now.*
**[15:16] Kelvin; internal**
*So I'll take this all the way.*
**[15:18] Kelvin**
Surge, O ruined fires of justice,
**[15:21] Kelvin**
burn the dam to ashes.
**[15:24] Kelvin**
Level-Five Nature Composed Magic...
**[15:27] Kelvin**
Flame Wave!
**[15:29] Angelica**
The dog peoples aren't supposed to be
very good with nature composed magic!
**[15:34] Rick**
He must have trained for years,
pushing himself beyond his limits!
**[15:38] Rick**
The physique he was blessed with,
the talent he was born with...
**[15:41] Rick**
the strength and techniques he's honed...
**[15:44] Rick**
He's on the same level as my
senpais... a true prodigy!
**[15:55] gym member A**
Has Kelvin always been able
to use magic like that?
**[15:57] Daniel; internal**
*I didn't know about this either.*
**[16:09] Kelvin**
Flickering Feet!
**[16:11] Kelvin**
Forceful Fist!
**[16:13] Kelvin**
Lay hold, O denizens of the darkest green,
**[16:15] Kelvin**
lure travelers into its depths,
**[16:17] Kelvin**
and listen to the pulse of the forest!
**[16:22] Kelvin**
Level-Seven Nature Composed Magic...
**[16:24] Kelvin**
Forest Rope!
**[16:27] Angelica**
Now that's a champion!
**[16:29] Rick**
This is... not good!
**[16:32] Angelica**
What?
**[16:33] Kelvin**
Lance down, Dubhe,
sacred messenger of good fortune.
**[16:37] Kelvin**
Pierce the earth,
defiled by the works of humans.
**[16:39] Kelvin**
Carve that sorrow into the land!
**[16:42] Mizett**
Hey, he's not half bad!
**[16:43] Alicerette**
Right?
**[16:45] Reanette**
Indeed.
**[16:45] Kelvin**
Level-Eight Nature Composed Magic...
**[16:47] Anglica**
Eight?!
**[16:51] gym member A**
Hey now...
**[16:52] gym member B**
What is that?!
**[16:55] Kelvin**
Angel's Tear!
**[16:58] crowd**
Are you serious?
**[16:59] crowd 2**
What is all this?
**[17:00] crowd 3**
We should run, right?
**[17:05] Rick**
Oh, this is bad. This is
legitimately really bad!
**[17:10] Angelica**
It is quite shocking, but this isn't like you!
**[17:14] Rick**
How can I not be scared?!
**[17:16] Rick**
The champion is far stronger
than I'd imagined!
**[17:19] Rick**
That means that senpai will also...
**[17:21] Rick**
stop holding back!
**[17:25] Broughston**
Yes. It shouldn't be a
problem for you, I think.
**[17:48] Angelica**
That was Level-Eight Nature Composed
Magic... and he used brute strength?
**[17:51] Broughston**
Your convictions, wanting to fight to
the absolute limits of your strength...
**[17:56] Broughston**
They have reached me in full.
**[17:59] Broughston**
Which means...
**[18:02] Broughston**
that I shall answer with my own convictions.
**[18:05] Rick**
That's a quarter thumbs-up!
**[18:08] Angelica**
A quarter thumbs-up?
**[18:11] Reanette**
A tradition seen in orc battles.
**[18:15] Reanette**
It's a declaration that they will abandon
evasion and defense to simply exchange blows.
**[18:19] Rick**
Which means that from now on,
Broughston-senpai...
**[18:25] Rick**
will focus completely on attacking!
**[18:29] Kelvin; internal**
*What is this? I've never felt this before.*
**[18:33] Kelvin; internal**
*Could this be... terror?*
**[18:39] Kelvin; internal**
* He's so fast,*
* my sense of smell doesn't work!*
**[18:47] Daniel**
That was just from the shockwave of a
punch thrown with a strengthened arm?
**[18:52] Angelica**
I can't believe it.
**[18:53] Angelica**
Rick, is Broughston—The nothingness
of complete resignation?!
**[19:02] Kelvin**
*B-Blast it!*
**[19:05] Kelvin**
Level-Seven Nature Composed Magic...
**[19:08] Kelvin**
Flame Sword!
**[19:10] Kelvin**
Storm Javelin!
**[19:13] Kelvin**
Lightning Axe!
**[19:16] Kelvin**
*Curse him. He hasn't even blinked!*
**[19:22] Rick**
He can't have much magic left.
**[19:24] Angelica**
After casting such powerful spells
one after another, of course not!
**[19:40] Angelica**
A direct hit?
**[19:41] Rick**
No. He used Flowing Strikes, Flickering Feet,
**[19:45] Rick**
and defense magic all at
once to soften the blow.
**[19:48] Angelica**
I'm amazed you could see all that.
**[19:52] Kelvin; internal**
* My bones and organs are*
* messed up pretty badly.*
**[19:55] Kelvin; internal**
* This guy's really extreme.*
* Anyone else would be dead right now.*
**[20:01] Kelvin; internal**
*If I gave up, I could rest,*
**[20:05] Kelvin; internal**
* but I've been wishing for a*
* strong opponent like this one.*
**[20:08] Kelvin; internal**
* This is the real fight*
* I've been longing for!*
**[20:14] Kelvin**
*Get up! Get on your feet! I am...*
**[20:17] Kelvin**
I'm not done yet!
**[20:21] Kelvin**
I've run out of magic,
but I still have strength left!
**[20:26] Rick**
But with that amount of damage,
his physical strength will also...
**[20:38] Kelvin; internal**
* There are guys as strong as this*
* out there in the world?*
**[20:43] crowd**
You can do it, Kelvin!
**[20:45] crowd**
Stand up, champion!
**[20:46] crowd; female**
Don't let him beat you!
**[20:47] crowd**
You've still got fight in you!
**[20:49] crowd; girl**
Kelvin, you can do it!
**[20:50] crowd; boy**
Get up!
**[20:52] crowd; boys**
Please!
**[20:52] crowd**
Kelvin! Kelvin! Kelvin! Kelvin! Kelvin!
**[20:56] Kelvin; internal**
* Everyone, even after I've*
* deceived you all this time...*
**[21:06] Daniel**
Kelvin!
**[21:08] Angelica**
This cheering is incredible!
**[21:11] Kelvin**
One more punch! Just one more punch!
**[21:15] Kelvin**
If you're out of magic and strength,
then chisel away your spirit for fuel!
**[21:21] Rick**
The foot position for Flickering Feet and
the strengthening for Forceful Fist!
**[21:24] Rick**
And Rolling Fang wrapped in Flaming Sword!
***SIGN*** Nature Composed Spiral Fist
**[21:54] Broughston**
Yes. Well done.
**[21:58] Broughston**
Have you used every last drop
of your strength, Kelvin Wolwolf?
**[22:17] Kelvin**
Yeah.
**[22:19] Kelvin**
That's the most fun I've had in my life.
**[22:24] Broughston**
In honor of your magnificent fight,
I bestow my greatest respect!
**[22:36] Daniel**
It seems it's still a long road to becoming
the strongest pugilist in history,
**[22:43] Daniel**
but you are the greatest
pugilist in history!

**[00:00] MC**
*The winner is Broughston Ashorc!*
**[00:04] Milicia**
That's Broughston-sama for you!
**[00:04] Gold**
That's the boss!
**[00:08] Milicia**
Hey, why are you copying me?
**[00:10] Gold**
That's what I wanna ask you!
**[00:16] Rick**
Broughston-senpai! Good work out there!
**[00:19] Angelica**
Winning such an overwhelming victory against
the champion like that, it's incredible!
**[00:23] Broughston**
But was it an overwhelming victory?
His final blow was impressive.
**[00:28] Rick**
Now we'll obtain the jewel for sure!
**[00:31] Rick**
All I have to do now is withdraw!
**[00:33] Broughston**
The final match.
**[00:35] Broughston**
I'm looking forward to it.
**[00:38] Rick**
What?
**[00:41] Rick**
Oh. Right...
**[00:56] Angelica**
Sudden, severe stress!

**[02:29] child 1**
Take that!
**[02:30] child 2**
That's nothing!
**[02:30] child 1**
And this!
**[02:31] Kelvin**
"The semi-final was very exciting,
**[02:34] Kelvin**
but he has fought on the hallowed grounds
**[02:36] Kelvin**
of the King of Fists Tournament
with less than full strength
**[02:39] Kelvin**
and deceived everyone watching.
**[02:41] Kelvin**
There are those who criticize
Kelvin for that."
**[02:45] Kelvin**
Says the article.
**[02:46] Kelvin**
Looks like I'm the villain now.
**[02:49] Kelvin**
Are you really sure about this?
**[02:51] child 1**
There!
**[02:51] child 2**
You've done it now!
**[02:53] child 2**
Take this! Rolling Fang!
**[02:55] child 1**
I'm gonna do it again!
**[02:58] Daniel**
I'm sure it will be fine.
**[03:00] Daniel**
More importantly, what was that last attack?
**[03:04] Daniel**
I was shocked that you'd been
hiding a move like that.
***SIGN*** Nature Composed Spiral Fist
**[03:08] Kelvin**
I was completely absorbed in the fight.
**[03:11] Kelvin**
I don't really remember it.
**[03:13] Daniel**
If you're going to name it, it should
be the Nature Composed Spiral Fist.
**[03:17] Daniel**
Make sure you make it yours.
**[03:19] Kelvin**
I...
**[03:22] Kelvin**
I've been deceiving the
spectators, you... everyone.
**[03:29] Kelvin**
And I lost. A guy like me doesn't deserve...
**[03:33] Daniel**
In your own way, you were trying
to be considerate, right?
**[03:37] Daniel**
And so what if you got beat?
**[03:39] Daniel**
You just need to get stronger and win
the next one, like you always have.
**[03:44] Kelvin**
Hey, owner... Why do you
look out for me like this?
**[03:53] Daniel**
Well...
**[03:55] Daniel**
because you're like a son to me.
**[04:00] Kelvin**
And I think of you as...
**[04:06] Broughston**
Excuse the... I've interrupted something.
**[04:09] Kelvin**
No. It's fine.
**[04:13] Broughston**
How are your injuries?
**[04:15] Kelvin**
I hurt all over, thanks.
**[04:19] Broughston**
Then I shall treat you.
**[04:21] Kelvin**
Thanks, but no.
**[04:23] Kelvin**
Right now, I want to feel this pain.
It's been a while.
**[04:27] Broughston**
All right.
**[04:29] Kelvin**
I guess it worked out just like he said.
**[04:33] Kelvin**
Rick.
**[04:34] Kelvin**
He said if I was fighting you,
I wouldn't need to worry.
**[04:38] Broughston**
Rick said that?
**[04:40] Kelvin**
I'm looking forward to the final.
**[04:43] Broughston**
Yes.
**[04:45] Snape**
Pardon the intrusion.
**[04:47] Snape**
Where might I find Rick-san?
**[04:49] Snape**
What? He's locked himself away?
**[04:52] Angelica**
Rick!
**[04:54] Angelica**
Stop acting like a child and
come out here this instant!
**[04:57] Rick**
No! No! I don't wanna! I'm gonna die again!
**[04:59] Rick**
I don't wanna die! Go away!
**[05:02] Angelica**
This is incredibly idiotic!
Steel your resolve already!
**[05:05] Rick**
I don't wanna! I don't wanna!
**[05:06] Snape**
I came to give some encouragement.
I never imagined a situation like this.
**[05:11] Angelica**
It's utterly hopeless.
**[05:14] Snape**
Rick-san, now that Kelvin has lost,
**[05:17] Snape**
everyone is extremely excited
about this year's tournament.
**[05:21] Snape**
We would very much appreciate your
participation in the final match.
**[05:25] Rick**
My life is more important
to me than the tournament!
**[05:29] Snape**
I see.
**[05:35] Snape**
Oh, Rick-san! Several thousand
people work on this tournament!
**[05:41] Snape**
Hundreds of millions are wagered upon it!
**[05:44] Snape**
Across the kingdom, tens of thousands
of fans eagerly await the final match!
**[05:51] Snape**
However... if it's for the
sake of your life, Rick-san,
**[05:54] Snape**
we have no choice but to let
it all come to nothing.
**[05:58] Snape**
Everyone has no choice but
to abandon their dreams.
**[06:04] Snape**
What a shame. Oh, what a shame!
**[06:07] Angelica**
Oddly, that seems to be working.
**[06:07] Snape**
What a shame!
**[06:11] Angelica**
It's just as Snape said!
You should fight in the final!
**[06:15] Angelica**
Even if you are killed, you can be
brought back to life, can't you?
**[06:19] Angelica**
If so, then what does it matter?
**[06:22] Rick**
Angelica, you can say that
because you've never died!
**[06:26] Rick**
Even if you know that you can be
brought back, dying is scary!
**[06:31] Angelica**
Broughston's training is traumatic,
**[06:34] Angelica**
but you endured it for
two years, didn't you?
**[06:37] Angelica**
Why are you so scared of fighting
just one match against him?
**[06:41] Rick**
Training and fighting are
completely different!
**[06:44] Rick**
You wouldn't understand!
**[06:48] Angelica**
I see.
**[06:51] Angelica**
I respected you as my teacher...
**[06:55] Angelica**
but I've misjudged you!
**[07:01] Mizett**
Hey, Rick-kun. Haven't you ever wondered?
**[07:05] Rick**
About what?
**[07:07] Mizett**
The day you first came to the castle,
the guv had his training plan ready, right?
**[07:12] Mizett**
And it was proper thorough,
a full two-year plan, at that.
**[07:17] Rick**
Now that you mention it, that is strange.
**[07:20] Rick**
Wasn't it meant to train allies that
would help defeat the Kaiser Alsapiet?
**[07:25] Mizett**
Sure, that was part of it, but he
had another goal in mind, yeah?
**[07:29] Mizett**
He said it was to train up someone
he could fight on equal ground.
**[07:34] Rick**
What?
**[07:36] Mizett**
Orcs have a culture of fighting, y'see?
**[07:39] Mizett**
It's through fighting that they
come to understand each other.
**[07:42] Mizett**
But the guv's so strong, he's never once,
since he was a child, had an even fist fight.
**[07:50] Mizett**
He's been alone all this time.
**[07:53] Mizett**
It's why he says his dream is to one
day have a fight on equal ground.
**[07:58] Mizett**
That dream might come true tomorrow.
**[08:01] Mizett**
That's what the guv's probably thinking.
**[08:04] Mizett**
I think you're free to choose
to withdraw, but, y'know...
**[08:09] Mizett**
Try to put yourself in his shoes, yeah?
**[08:18] Alicerette**
Broughs-kun is looking forward
to playing with you, Rikkun.
**[08:22] Alicerette**
Be nice and play with him, all right?
***SIGN*** Two and a Half Years Earlier
**[08:32] Reanette**
Once again, welcome to
Orichalcum Fist, Rick-sama.
**[08:36] (Flashback) Rick**
This place is amazing!
**[08:38] (Flashback) Reanette**
This is...
**[08:40] (Flashback) Reanette**
our leader.
**[08:42] (Flashback) Broughston**
Broughston Ashorc.
**[08:47] (Flashback) Rick**
R-Right! Very pleased to meet you!
**[08:51] (Flashback) Broughston**
No knowledge of martial arts and magic
energy capacity of the lowest possible class.
**[08:55] (Flashback) Rick**
What? You can tell that much
just from a handshake?
**[08:58] (Flashback) Broughston**
By paying attention to the movement of
muscle and magical energy, yes, you can.
**[09:02] (Flashback) Rick**
I see.
**[09:05] (Flashback) Broughston**
As you are now, you lack the talents and
abilities necessary for an adventurer.
**[09:10] (Flashback) Broughston**
Are you aware of this?
**[09:12] Rick; internal**
* So, he's the same as all those*
* people who denounced my dream.*
**[09:16] (Flashback) Rick**
Are you trying to tell me that
I should give up because of it?
**[09:19] (Flashback) Broughston**
No.
**[09:22] (Flashback) Broughston**
It will require hundreds of times more
training than that of someone with talent.
**[09:27] (Flashback) Broughston**
I was asking you if you are
prepared to endure that.
**[09:34] Angelica**
It's completely pathetic!
**[09:37] Mizett**
Not like I don't understand
how Rick-kun feels, though.
**[09:40] Alicerette**
Right?
**[09:42] Angelica**
Was his training with Broughston
truly that terrifying?
**[09:47] Mizett**
It was like hell on earth.
**[09:50] Mizett**
I'm amazed he didn't go mad because of it.
**[09:53] Mizett**
Though, he did go a little
strange on us a few times.
**[09:56] Mizett**
T'be honest, it's a mystery
how he made it through.
**[09:59] Angelica**
With no Skill, he decided to become an
adventurer around the age of 40.
**[10:00] Mizett; background**
Another round!
**[10:04] Angelica**
And to be put though something so
grueling on top of all that...
**[10:07] Alicerette**
Rikkun has a Skill.
**[10:09] Angelica**
What?
**[10:10] Mizett**
An inborn skill, innit?
**[10:12] Angelica**
I've never once seen it.
**[10:15] Mizett**
The activation requirement
is a little tricky, y'see?
**[10:18] Milicia**
Thank you for waiting.
**[10:20] Mizett**
Its strength can't be controlled,
and it takes a right toll on his body.
**[10:24] Mizett**
So Broughston forbade the use of it.
**[10:28] Angelica**
I had no idea.
**[10:36] Rick**
Hey, Reanette?
**[10:39] Reanette**
Yes?
**[10:40] Rick**
Do you think I'm... pathetic?
**[10:44] Reanette**
I do not think you are pathetic.
**[10:46] Reanette**
Whatever you may choose,
you are you, Rick-sama.
**[10:51] Reanette**
However...
**[10:52] Rick**
However?
**[10:54] Reanette**
If you said you'd fight for
Broughston-sama's sake,
**[10:56] Reantte**
even though you're scared
and you don't have to...
**[11:02] Reanette**
I would like you even more.

* Today's the day! At last,*
* it's the final match!*
**[11:26] MC**
* The mighty King of Fists, the great King*
* Alexander, began this King of Fists Tournament*
**[11:31] MC**
*113 years ago!*
**[11:33] MC**
*And today, its 113th champion will be decided!*
**[11:41] Angelica**
You seem to have lost your composure.
**[11:43] Snape**
Well, yes. When I think that Rick-san
might withdraw just before the match...
**[11:50] MC**
Which one of them will take up
the glorious champion's belt?
**[11:54] MC**
And the prize for the winner
is three hundred million luc!
**[12:05] Angelica**
Are you all right?
**[12:06] Rick**
Yes. I'm over it now.
**[12:09] Rick**
I just have to throw everything
I've learned at him, that's all.
**[12:13] Angelica**
Rick.
**[12:15] Rick**
Y-Y-You know I'm gonna kn-kn-knock
Broughston-senpai back on his...
**[12:23] Angelica; internal**
* Give me back that momentary*
* flutter of my heart.*
**[12:26] MC**
And the bonus prizes...
**[12:29] MC**
a hundred kilos of restami magic stones!
**[12:31] MC**
A year's worth of golden slime bags!
**[12:34] MC**
And what luxury! A pair of
tickets for a hot springs trip!
**[12:41] Angelica**
They seem excited out there.
**[12:47] Reanette**
Rick-sama.
**[12:48] Rick**
Wh... Wh-Wh-What is it?
**[13:02] MC**
*Both fighters have entered the arena!*
**[13:05] MC**
*Broughston Ashorc versus...*
**[13:09] MC**
*Rick Gladiatol!*
**[13:11] MC**
* What sort of fight will*
* unfold in this final match?*
**[13:20] Angelica**
It looks like he got over it.
**[13:23] Rick**
Broughston-senpai, I'll be
giving it everything I have!
**[13:27] Broughston**
Yes. Let's have a good fight.
**[13:30] Broughston**
Everything that I've drilled
into you these last two years,
**[13:34] Broughston**
send it back at me with every
ounce of energy you have.
**[13:37] Daniel**
Now, what will happen?
**[13:39] Kelvin**
They're both the real deal,
so I can't predict it either.
**[13:44] MC**
And now, the final match
you've all been waiting for!
**[13:48] MC**
Combatants, fight!
**[13:54] Angelica**
Flickering Feet? But it's much too fast!
**[14:07] Broughston**
Yes. Very impressive, Rick.
**[14:15] Snape**
What magic was that?
**[14:18] Alicerette**
The two of them haven't used any magic.
**[14:23] Angelica**
It was hand-to-hand combat
with strengthened bodies.
**[14:27] Reanette**
Yes.
**[14:28] Reanette**
After a few dozen blows
and moves to block and evade them,
**[14:33] Reanette**
Rick-sama used Thread Slash.
**[15:06] Rick**
Thread Slash!
**[15:12] Angelica; internal**
*Because of the training Rick gave me,*
**[15:15] Angelica; internal**
* I understand how difficult it is to*
* reach the realm where they stand.*
**[15:22] Angelica**
Still, that's incredible drive from him.
**[15:26] Angelica**
What did you tell him earlier?
**[15:29] Reanette**
Well...
**[15:33] (Flashback) Reanette**
Rick-sama.
**[15:34] (Flashback) Rick**
Wh... Wh-Wh-What is it?
**[15:40] (Flashback) Reanette**
If you win, please take me on
the hot springs trip with you.
**[15:44] (Flashback) Rick**
Hot... springs?
**[15:51] Angelica**
What?
**[15:53] Rick; internal**
*If I win, the two of us...*
**[15:56] Rick; internal**
*go on a hot springs trip!*
**[15:56] Angelica; overlap**
A hot springs trip?
**[16:01] Angelica**
Are you serious?
**[16:02] Angelica**
A hot springs trip means staying
the night there, doesn't it?
**[16:07] Angelica**
And that means...
**[16:09] Angelica**
um, that, um...
**[16:13] Angelica**
The two of you will be, um...
**[16:15] Reanette**
Yes.
**[16:20] Angelica**
I-I-I'm going to focus on the match.
**[16:24] Reanette**
Of course.
**[16:31] Broughston**
Since you've come here willing to fight,
**[16:35] Broughston**
it would be disrespectful of me
to do nothing but defend.
**[16:55] Kelving**
It may sound like a joke,
**[16:57] Kelving**
but that punch has more power than
Level-Five Nature Composed Magic.
**[17:05] Rick; internal**
* This is terrifying! I'm up*
* against Broughston-senpai!*
**[17:10] Rick; internal**
* If I just dive in without*
* thinking, I'll die!*
**[17:15] Rick**
Consecutive blows?
**[17:23] Rick; internal**
*The blows were a distraction?*
**[17:26] Angelica**
Rick!
**[17:28] Reaneete**
No, he is all right.
**[17:30] Angelica**
What?
**[17:38] Angelica**
That's... Level-One Nature
Composed Magic, Air Cushion?
**[17:43] Daniel**
He can block that punch
with level-one magic?
**[17:46] Kelvin**
No, that isn't the issue here.
**[17:49] Kelvin**
He activated it without
pausing to gather his magic.
**[17:51] Kelvin**
He didn't even say the name of the magic!
**[17:54] Kelvin**
It was actual instant casting!
**[18:00] Broughston**
The precision of your magic
control is excellent.
**[18:04] Broughston**
Even I can't perform magic
completely chant-less.
**[18:06] Rick**
It's thanks to Mizett-senpai
and Alicerette-senpai.
**[18:10] Alicerette**
And Rikkun worked really hard at it, right?
**[18:13] Mizett**
That's right!
**[18:14] Mizett**
But I panicked when he botched his control
and took Alicerette's magic attack!
**[18:19] Mizett**
Half his body evaporated, y'see?
**[18:23] Angelica**
Evaporated?
**[18:24] Rick**
Here I come!
**[18:33] Rick**
Flowing Strike!
**[18:42] Angelica**
Straight from the front?
Has he lost his mind?!
**[18:50] Daniel**
He's in the air!
**[18:51] Kelvin**
Yes, but he's in trouble! He's wide open!
**[19:02] Kelvin**
He used his feet to cast Air Cushion?!
**[19:10] Rick**
Air Shot!
**[19:29] Angelica**
The attack and defense
unfolding before us...
**[19:31] Angelica**
the strategy, the sheer power...
**[19:34] Angelica**
all of it exceeds human understanding.
It belongs to the realm of monsters.
**[19:38] Angelica**
This is a battle between two S-ranks.
**[19:45] Rick; internal**
* Even Air Shot isn't*
* powerful enough at mid-range?*
**[19:49] Rick; internal**
* I have to find a way to fire*
* it at super close range!*
**[19:52] Broughston**
Rick, you truly have grown strong.
**[19:57] Broughston**
I am proud of the fact that my
training plan for you was flawless,
**[20:02] Broughston**
but it was only possible because of
your mental and emotional strength.
**[20:09] Rick; internal**
* Broughston-senpai never lies*
* or gives empty compliments.*
**[20:15] Rick**
I'm honored!
**[20:17] Rick; internal**
*No words could make me happier...*
**[20:20] Rick; internal**
* But they're words a master*
* gives to a student.*
**[20:24] Rick; internal**
*This isn't good enough!*
**[20:29] (Flashback) Mizett**
It's why he says his dream is to one
day have a fight on equal ground.
**[20:36] Rick**
Mizett-senpai told me!
**[20:38] Rick**
He told me why you trained me,
Broughston-senpai.
**[20:42] Broughston**
Oh?
**[20:43] Rick**
He told me the reason you put
together that training plan...
**[20:46] Rick**
and what your dream is, Senpai!
**[20:57] Broughston**
They are a hopeless lot.
**[21:01] Broughston**
You need not let it bother you.
It's an exaggeration to call it a dream.
**[21:05] Broughston**
If that wish were granted, I would
count myself lucky and no more.
**[21:09] Rick**
No, I don't think that's true.
**[21:12] Rick**
The passion you showed in training me...
**[21:14] Rick**
I can tell it was the real thing!
**[21:17] Rick**
Senpai, I want to repay this
debt of gratitude to you!
**[21:21] Rick**
If you say that you will fight
me with honor and respect,
**[21:27] Rick**
then I want to fight you
with my utmost respect, too!
**[21:43] Broughston**
I am a fortunate person.
**[21:46] Broughston**
It has been two years since
Reanette brought you to us.
**[21:51] Broughston**
And now, you are a true member of our party.
**[21:56] Rick**
Senpai...
**[21:58] Broughston**
This is a good opportunity
for me to speak of the past.
**[22:03] Broughston**
And it has to do with the founding
of our Orichalcum Fist.
**[22:09] Rick**
Orichalcum Fist's...

***SIGN*** Quarter Thumbs-Up
**[00:06] Broughston**
I was five years old when I realized...
**[00:09] Broughston**
I was different from
everyone else in my pack.
**[00:14] Broughston**
There was my appearance, of course,
but there was also my ability to think.
**[00:20] Broughston**
I obtained books left behind by humans.
**[00:23] Broughston**
I came to understand letters... culture.
**[00:26] Broughston**
I imitated humans, who each had
their own individual name,
**[00:30] Broughston**
and named myself Broughston.
**[00:34] Broughston**
Orcs exchange opinions
through trading blows.
**[00:37] Broughston**
That behavior allows them
to understand each other.
**[00:42] Broughston**
But perhaps because I was too strong,
I was unable to sense anything from them.
**[00:49] Broughston**
I wanted to improve
the lives of my fellow orcs,
**[00:51] Broughston**
so I made fire and built dwellings.
**[00:54] Broughston**
I taught them to communicate in new ways.
**[00:59] Broughston**
And then, before I knew it,
I was being worshiped as a god.
**[01:05] Broughston**
There were no longer any
who would attempt to approach me.
**[01:10] Broughston**
Not even my parents or older brothers.
**[01:13] Broughston**
My family would solve disputes
through fistfights.
**[01:17] Broughston**
Afterwards, they would share
a friendly meal together,
**[01:20] Broughston**
and I would watch them from afar.
**[01:23] Broughston**
I... was completely alone.
**[01:30] Broughston**
Then, one day, when the weather was stormy,
**[01:35] Broughston**
I had traveled a little
ways away from my pack.
**[01:41] Broughston**
When I returned, I was struck speechless.
**[01:44] Broughston**
Not because I wasn't able
to save any of them.
**[01:49] Broughston**
It was because, though I'd lost my family
and fellow orcs, I felt nothing at all.
**[01:55] Broughston**
I was once again painfully reminded
of how very isolated I was.
**[02:12] (Flashback) Reinhard**
I've found you, orc!
**[02:14] (Flashback) Reinhard**
I'm impressed you dodged that.
**[02:16] (Flashback) Reinhard**
Huh? An orc with a book?
**[02:19] (Flashback) Reinhard**
And is that the wyvern
that's been attacking the town lately?
**[02:24] (Flashback) Reinhard**
Are you the one who slew it?
**[02:26] (Flashback) Broughston**
Yes.
**[02:27] (Flashback) Reinhard**
And you know how to use words, too!
**[02:30] (Flashback) Reinhard**
People had spotted an orc,
so they asked me to get rid of it,
**[02:34] (Flashback) Reinhard**
but you seem to be
a different type altogether.
**[02:38] (Flashback) Reinhard**
I'm sorry for attacking you so suddenly.
**[02:41] (Flashback) Broughston**
It doesn't bother me.
I am used to that kind of thing.
**[02:44] (Flashback) Reinhard**
You're an interesting guy.
Will you tell me about yourself?
**[02:52] (Flashback) Reinhard**
I see.
**[02:53] (Flashback) Reinhard**
It's not hard to imagine that
you'd feel grieved by your isolation.
**[02:58] (Flashback) Reinhard**
To say nothing of the fact that you want
a friend you can fight on equal terms.
**[03:03] (Flashback) Broughston**
I don't believe that it is a wish
which can be granted.
**[03:09] (Flashback) Reinhard**
Broughston.
**[03:11] (Flashback) Reinhard**
What if we both chase the dream
we haven't been able to make come true?
**[03:16] (Flashback) Broughston**
Dream?
**[03:17] (Flashback) Reinhard**
That's right. I fought
alongside the hero, Yamato.
**[03:22] (Flashback) Reinhard**
These days, people say
I'm one of the Legendary Five.
**[03:26] (Flashback) Broughston**
*The Legends of Yamato*?
**[03:28] (Flashback) Broughston**
I've read the book, but the events
transpired two hundred years ago.
**[03:32] (Flashback) Reinhard**
Oh! You're a reader, huh?
**[03:34] (Flashback) Reinhard**
The thing is, the author of that book is me!
**[03:38] (Flashback) Broughston**
I did think it felt too real
to be a work of fiction.
**[03:42] (Flashback) Broughston**
You're saying that you actually
experienced all of it?
**[03:45] (Flashback) Reinhard**
Yes, though no one believes me.
**[03:49] (Flashback) Broughtson**
Then, by "dream," you mean
defeating Kaiser Alsapiet?
**[03:53] (Flashback) Reinhard**
Exactly.
**[03:55] (Flashback) Broughston**
That's quite an audacious goal.
**[03:58] (Flashback) Reinhard**
Yes. We'll be chasing an outrageous dream.
**[04:02] (Flashback) Reinhard**
But you might be able to get closer
to achieving yours. What d'you think?
**[04:09] (Flashback) Broughston**
Very well. It sounds like fun.
**[04:11] (Flashback) Reinhard**
Good, then it's settled!
**[04:14] (Flashback) Reinhard**
Broughston the lonely orc!
**[04:17] (Flashback) Reinhard**
May this dream bring the strong, people no
less powerful than you, to gather around you!
**[04:26] Broughston**
And so I too became an adventurer.
**[04:30] Broughston**
Together, he and I founded Orichalcum Fist.
**[04:35] Broughston**
There, just as he said, people with
power equal to mine assembled.
**[04:37] Mizett; background**
Boom!
**[04:40] Alicerette; background**
Yay!
**[04:43] Broughston**
Each of them had their
own particular strength,
**[04:48] Broughston**
but what I longed for was
a fistfight like that between orcs.
**[04:54] Broughston**
It wasn't the sort of thing
I could seek from them.
**[04:57] Broughston**
That's when I thought up that training plan.
**[05:02] (Flashback) Mizett**
There isn't a person on this planet
who can survive that training.
**[05:11] Broughston**
I couldn't give up on my dream,
but I told myself I had no choice.
**[05:19] Broughston**
However...
**[05:21] Broughston**
you never know what fate will bring you, huh?
**[05:25] Rick**
Broughston-senpai.
**[05:27] Broughston**
I've made you listen to a
long and insignificant tale.
**[05:31] Broughston**
Pay it no mind. Let us continue our match.
**[05:37] Rick; internal**
* For the last two years, he stayed by*
* my side for nearly all of my training.*
**[05:43] Rick; internal**
* Did I really realize how much of*
* his own time he devoted to me?*
**[05:49] Rick; internal**
*Am I all right with this?*
**[05:50] Rick; internal**
* Maybe it's easier to land*
* a hit with Thread Slash...*
**[05:52] Rick; internal**
*and maybe I've got options with Air Shot...*
**[05:54] Rick; internal**
* but is fighting that way*
* really the right thing to do?*
**[05:58] (Flashback) Broughston**
That's an orc custom called
the quarter thumbs-up.
**[06:03] (Flashback) Broughston**
It's a declaration that you will abandon defense
and evasion to focus solely on trading blows.
**[06:18] Angelica**
That's... a quarter thumbs-up!
**[06:21] Broughston**
Rick, you would go that far?
**[06:26] Rick; internal**
*Sorry, Reanette.*
**[06:29] Rick; internal**
* I don't think we'll be able to*
* go on that hot springs trip.*
**[06:34] Reanette; internal**
*That's why I like you.*
**[06:39] Broughston; internal**
*It would be boorish of me to thank him.*
**[06:42] Broughston; internal**
*From here on, human words are unnecessary.*
**[07:09] Rick; internal**
*What was I afraid of?*
**[07:11] Rick; internal**
*Who cares about my trauma?*
**[07:13] Rick; internal**
*Why did I try to run away from him?*
**[07:22] Rick; internal**
* It's thanks to him that*
* I've been able to chase my dream!*
**[07:26] Rick; internal**
*If I can repay him for that...*
**[07:29] Rick; internal**
*then this is nothing!*
**[07:34] Mizett**
This is lookin' bad. Alicerette,
some magic, if you please.
**[07:38] Alicerette**
Okay!
**[07:40] Mizett**
Oh, he's... Nah. Doesn't matter right now.
**[07:45] Mizett**
That which is truly sacred
is not meant to be seen.
**[07:48] Mizett**
Those places which are truly sacred
should not be entered.
**[07:52] Mizett**
Such temptation is the price of curiosity.
**[07:55] Mizett**
Accept the silence of gods
which your eyes cannot see.
**[07:59] Mizett**
High-level Divine Magic, Spirited Away!
**[08:12] Angelica**
What?
**[08:13] Snape**
Wh-What is this?
**[08:14] Alicerette**
Now I'm hungry.
**[08:17] Kelvin**
Hey, you two! What did you do?
**[08:20] Mizett**
Evacuated everyone, didn't I?
**[08:26] Mizett**
It'd be bad if people turned up dead, yeah?
**[08:29] MC**
And... what is this?
**[08:33] MC**
Can anyone explain all of this?
**[08:48] Snape**
What a battle.
**[08:56] Angelica**
If we're counting punches...
**[08:59] Angelica**
Rick seems to have landed more, but...
**[09:02] Snape**
In terms of power per punch,
Broughston-san is several levels above him.
**[09:19] Snape**
Rick-san...
**[09:30] Kelvin**
Seriously, this is insane.
**[09:41] Rick**
Not yet...
**[09:45] Rick**
Not yet!
**[09:49] Broughston**
Let's go, Rick!
**[10:10] Tris**
No way! Are you serious?
**[10:25] Rick; internal**
*Damn it. Is this as far as I can go?*
**[10:28] Rick; internal**
*But I did pretty well for me, right?*
**[10:34] Rick; internal**
*I can go home and rest now.*
**[10:37] Rick; internal**
* Senpai is probably satisfied*
* with this, too, right?*
**[10:41] Rick; internal**
*Huh? Senpai looks like he can still fight.*
**[10:47] Rick; internal**
*But my body, it...*
**[10:53] Rick; internal**
*It moved. My finger can still move.*
**[10:58] Angelica**
I can't imagine that he can do any more.
**[11:01] Reanette**
No, he isn't done yet.
**[11:04] Alicerette**
He hasn't gotten seriously
serious yet, right?
**[11:07] Mizett**
That's right.
**[11:09] Rick; internal**
*For him, this was just a fistfight.*
**[11:14] Rick; internal**
* I'm not good enough to*
* be called his equal yet.*
**[11:19] Rick; internal**
* This isn't nearly enough to repay him*
* for everything he's done for me!*
**[11:31] Angelica**
What's that?
**[11:32] Reanette**
Rick-sama's inborn skill.
**[11:34] Mizett; Alicerett**
Reckless Soul!
***SIGN*** Brute Valor Awakened
***SIGN*** Reckless Soul
**[11:48] Mizett**
He looks proper shocked!
**[11:49] Alicerett**
The surprise is a success!
**[11:52] Reanette**
Indeed.
**[11:53] Angelica**
What are you talking about?
**[11:55] Reanette**
Well, we kept it a secret
from Broughston-sama.
**[11:58] Alicerette**
And me and everyone gave
him special training!
**[12:01] Mizett**
So now, he can control it a bit,
**[12:04] Mizett**
and he knows what conditions
he needs to activate it.
**[12:07] Angelica**
What are they?
**[12:08] Reanette**
The condition to activate
Rick-sama's inborn skill, Reckless Soul,
**[12:13] Reanette**
is to be ready to exceed his limits in order
to battle someone far stronger than himself.
**[12:20] Mizett**
What he needs to activate it isn't
magical energy or physical strength.
**[12:26] Mizett**
It's strength of will!
**[12:28] Reanett**
The real match begins now.
**[12:32] Kelvin**
Are you serious?
**[12:39] Broughston; internal**
*Rick.*
**[12:47] Gold**
This is starting to look seriously bad!
**[12:50] Milicia**
Broughston-sama.
**[12:57] Broughston; internal**
*I see now.*
**[13:01] Broughston; internal**
* All this time, I focused solely on the idea*
* of a fistfight on equal ground,*
**[13:08] Broughston; internal**
*but they rely on me, they care about me...*
**[13:13] Broughston; internal**
*I have friends who would go this far for me.*
**[13:21] Broughston; internal**
* I haven't been alone*
* for a long time, have I?*
**[13:41] Angelica**
Both of them have already
far surpassed their limits.
**[13:45] Kelvin**
The next hit will decide everything.
**[14:22] Angelica**
Who won...?
**[14:37] Rick**
You really are incredible.
**[14:40] Rick**
Even after doing all this, I can't beat you.
**[14:48] Broughston**
What are you talking about?
**[14:51] Broughston**
We're only here because you chose
to humor me and my dream.
**[14:57] Broughston**
Victory... is yours.
**[15:27] Reanette**
Good morning, Rick-sama.
**[15:32] Rick**
Reanette...
**[15:35] Alicerette**
Oh, Rikkun! Morning!
**[15:37] Angelica**
So, you're still alive after all?
**[15:39] Mizett**
You've slept for three whole days, y'know?
**[15:42] Reanette**
The last time you used your inborn skill,
you slept for a week.
**[15:47] Reanette**
The training must have been effective.
**[15:50] Rick**
But why is the belt here with me?
**[15:53] Rick**
Broughston-senpai is the one who won, right?
**[15:56] Broughston**
No. That was merely the result of the battle.
**[15:59] Broughston**
The one who won the war was you, Rick.
**[16:01] Mizett**
He's not budging on this one.
**[16:04] Rick**
I'm happy you'd say such a thing,
**[16:08] Rick**
but if you'd wanted to, you could've done
30 full heals on yourself from that point.
**[16:13] Rick**
I don't feel like I could ever beat you.
**[16:16] Broughston**
That's not true. You are strong.
**[16:19] Rick**
Senpai...
**[16:21] Broughston**
Rick... and you, Mizett.
**[16:24] Mizett**
Huh?
**[16:25] Broughston**
Alicerette. Reanette.
**[16:28] Broughston**
You used your own time
for the sake of my dream.
**[16:35] Broughston**
Thank you.
**[16:39] Mizett**
Whatever could you be referring to?
**[16:42] Rick**
What are you talking about?
**[16:44] Angelica**
Mizett and the others said they
wanted to surprise Broughston,
**[16:47] Angelica**
so they helped you to
train your inborn skill.
**[16:50] Rick**
What?!
**[16:51] Rick**
I thought you all were oddly happy to help.
So that's what was going on!
**[16:56] Mizett**
Operation successful!
**[16:58] Reanette**
Indeed.
**[17:02] Broughston**
Then we will take this.
**[17:06] Angelica**
So rough!
**[17:08] Broughston**
The second of the Six Jewels,
Sovereign's Gold.
**[17:13] Rick**
With this we're one step closer to
*Yamato*... to Kaiser Alsapiet!
**[17:19] Reanette**
The substitute to be used
in the belt is right here.
**[17:22] Mizett**
If Alicerette charged it up with some magic,
it'd make it harder to tell it's a fake.
**[17:26] Alicerette**
Okay, I can do that!
**[17:29] Alicerette**
There!
**[17:31] Angelica**
I'll pretend I didn't see anything.
**[17:34] Rick**
Oh, that reminds me.
**[17:36] Rick**
How old is Reinhard-san?
**[17:39] Rick**
*The Legends of Yamato* are supposed to have
happened over two hundred years ago.
**[17:44] Broughston**
His exact age is unknown, but he says his
inborn skill is what has extended his life.
**[17:49] Rick**
I see.
**[17:51] Rick**
And you said even you
haven't seen him in years.
**[17:55] Rick**
Do you think he's acting
by himself in secret?
**[17:58] Broughston**
No. Apparently, the deadline for his book
was closing in, so he's on the run.
**[17:58] Reinhard; background**
Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup!
**[18:02] Rick**
Seriously?
**[18:04] Kelvin**
What?!
**[18:06] Snape**
As I said, both Broughston-san and
Rick-san declined the victory,
**[18:11] Snape**
and they canceled their
registrations as pugilists.
**[18:14] Snape**
As such, you are the champion.
**[18:20] Daniel**
We can't leave the tournament
without a winner, right?
**[18:23] Kelvin**
Still, I can't accept becoming the
champion just because of that!
**[18:27] Snape**
Won't you reconsider? If you could
look after the belt at least...
**[18:31] Kelvin**
How is that my problem?
**[18:32] Snape**
Won't you reconsider?
**[18:34] Kelvin**
I said no!
**[18:37] Broughston**
Both of you have been a great help.
**[18:40] Milicia**
Please come back anytime! And when you do...
**[18:43] Gold**
I'm gonna work hard to become
a real pugilist! And when I do...
**[18:49] Milicia; simultaneous**
...please make me your wife!
**[18:49] Gold; simultaneous**
...let me call you my old man!
**[18:51] Gold**
What'd you say?
**[18:52] Milicia**
What?
**[18:52] Broughston**
I couldn't quite hear either of them.
**[18:55] Angelica**
Hold on!
**[18:57] Angelica**
You bought far too much!
**[18:59] Rick**
I wanted to gift them to our neighbors,
and I worried I wouldn't have enough!
**[19:03] Reanette**
Our neighborhood is comprised
of only a single home.
**[19:05] Alicerette**
Don't worry! I'll eat any leftovers.
**[19:07] Mizett**
You're already eating 'em.
**[19:10] Broughston; internal**
*Reinhard.*
**[19:13] Broughston; internal**
*My dream has come true.*
**[19:17] Alicerette**
What? You're saying
goodbye here, Ange-chan?
**[19:21] Angelica**
It's unfortunate, but I need to return home.
**[19:25] Alicerette**
Come and play, okay? Promise?
**[19:28] Alicerette; background**
Shake! Shake! Shake! Shake! Shake!
**[19:29] Angelica**
Yes, I promise.
**[19:31] Angelica**
I've asked Broughston-san
to train me, after all.
**[19:34] Rick**
Wha?!
**[19:35] Broughston**
Yes. I look forward to it.
**[19:37] Rick**
What did you say?
**[19:39] Rick**
Do you want to die, Angelica?!
**[19:42] Angelica**
I could ask for nothing better.
**[19:44] Angelica**
I have made up my mind.
I will catch up to you!
**[19:52] Angelica**
And one day, I will surpass you.
**[19:58] Rick**
Right. Then, I look forward
to the next time we meet!
**[20:04] Angelica**
Yes.
**[20:06] Angelica**
So, will you be running home?
**[20:08] Rick**
Yes. After all, I'm a
late-starting E-ranker!
**[20:12] Angelica**
What are you talking about?
You're basically S-rank.
**[20:14] Angelica**
But, very well.
**[20:16] Angelica**
And how far will you be running?
**[20:19] Angelica**
Five hundred? Eight hundred?
**[20:20] Rick**
Two thousand and eight hundred kilometers.
**[20:22] Angelica**
Just saying some ridiculous number
doesn't make it funny, you know?
**[20:26] Angelica**
How long did it take you to get here?
**[20:29] Rick**
Three days?
**[20:30] Angelica**
Even if you can get back in three days,
the carriage will take months!
**[20:34] Angelica**
The gifts you bought will rot!
**[20:35] Alicerette**
With a little magic cast
on it, it'll be fine.
**[20:38] Alicerette**
Mize-kun!
**[20:39] Mizett**
Leave it to me!
**[20:41] Mizett**
Strengthening magic...

**[20:53] Angelica**

irrational things. I can't...
**[20:56] Rick**
All right! Let's go h—
**[20:59] Reanette**
Excuse me, Rick-sama?
**[21:01] Reanette**
When shall we go on our hot springs trip?
**[21:04] Rick**
Huh?
**[21:06] Rick**
B-But that was only if I won.
**[21:10] Broughston**
You did win.
**[21:11] Rick**
No! No, I didn't!
**[21:17] Rick; internal**
*Hot springs...*
**[21:19] Rick; internal**
*with Reanette?*
**[21:32] Rick; internal**
*A hot springs trip?*
**[21:36] Angelica**
I'm certain his current expression
would be painful to look at.
**[21:40] Alicerette**
I want to go in the hot springs too!
**[21:44] Rick**
Oh! Um, no. I really didn't win, so...
**[21:47] Rick**
So, I can't... yet.
**[21:50] Mizett**
Well, the match was a draw after all.
**[21:53] Mizett**
How about you race back to the castle
and settle things for good?
**[21:57] Broughston**
Yes. That sounds good.
**[21:59] Rick**
Huh? Wait. "Settle things"?
**[22:01] Mizett**
If Rick wins, he gets a hot
springs trip. If he loses...
**[22:05] Broughston**
A hundred times the training!
**[22:07] Rick**
A *hundred* times?!
**[22:09] Rick**
You can't mean... A hundred times?
**[22:11] Rick**
I'll die at least ten times!
**[22:12] Alicrette**
Ready? Go!
**[22:14] Mizett**
Go!
**[22:18] Rick**
W-Wait, please!
**[22:21] Rick**
Broughston-senpai!
**[22:26] Rick**
Y-You know...
**[22:28] Rick**
I promise... I'll take
you to the hot springs.
**[22:34] Reanette**
Good.
**[22:37] Rick**
I don't want a hundred times the training!
**[22:39] Reanette**
Well, let's see each other again.
**[22:41] Alicerette**
Bye, Ange-chan!
**[22:46] Angelica**
They're ridiculous to the very end.
**[23:11] Rick; internal**
*It took a really long time,*
