[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!

[12:18] 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.

[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!
