[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!
[00:36] Angelica
    But what about my explanation?!

[02:12] Rick
    Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup!
[02:13] Rick
    Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup! Hup!
[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?!
SIGN    Training: Day 5
[04:01] Angelica; internal
    I can't take any more.
[04:03] Angelica; internal
    That's right. It isn't like I've run away.
[04:06] Angelica; internal
    After all, I'd intended to train,
    but I was tortured instead.
[04:11] Angelica; internal
    This is a strategic retreat
    to preserve my mental health.
[04:15] Angelica; internal
    Here, not even Rick will be able to—
[04:17] Rick
    There you are!
[04:18] Rick
    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.
[04:55] (Flashback) Broughston
    Alicerette, lend me some magic, please.
[04:57] (Flashback) Alicerette
    Sure thing!
[05:06] (Flashback) Broughston
    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!

    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!
[21:55] Geith
    Weaklings should just stay quiet and obey!
SIGN    Thread
     Slash
[22:00] Angelica
    Thread Slash.
[22:04] Rick
    Yes!
[22:10] Angelica
    Who... did you call a weakling?
