SIGN    Thread      Slash [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. SIGN    The Ossan Newbie Adventurer,     Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party,     Became Invincible SIGN    Episode      9 SIGN    The Perfect Prodigy,     Born with Absolutely Everything [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!

[10:04] 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? [22:07] MC     The winner is Rick Gladiatol!
