[00:04] Angelica
    Thread Slash.
[00:08] Angelica
    Who... did you call a weakling?
[00:13] Rick
    All right!
[00:14] Snape
    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.
SIGN    Thread
     Slash
[01:28] Rick
    It puts a huge burden on the body,
[01:31] Rick
    but after overcoming a month of that
    hellish training, this is nothing!
[01:35] Reanette
    She gains the speed necessary for Thread
    Slash by using Flickering Feet.
[01:39] Reanette
    Angelica-sama is the only one who can
    perform this move this way.
[01:42] Angelica
    It looks like it worked.

[03:18] Angelica
    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.

[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?
[22:07] MC
    The winner is Rick Gladiatol!
