**[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.
