[00:17] RUD/N
    Members of an adventuring party have
    various roles, such as attacker and healer.
[00:23] RUD/N
    I, Rud, am a tank.
[00:26] RUD/N
    The job of the party's tank is to draw all
    enemy attacks and protect the other members.
[00:32] RUD/N
    It's the unsung position
    of powerful adventurers.
[00:35] RUD/N
    This is the story of how
    I turned things around...
[00:40] RUD/N
    and became the protagonist.

    A Tank with a Rare 9,999 Resistance Skill
    Got Kicked from the Hero's Party
[02:18] MANICIA
    Oh, dear brother.
[02:21] MANICIA
    I've missed you. I was so lonely.
[02:25] RUD
    Manicia!
[02:26] NIN
    Rud.
[02:27] RUDE
    I'll never leave you again!
[02:30] NIN
    Rud!
[02:32] RUD
    What is it, Nin?
    You're interrupting my joyous fantasy.
[02:36] NIN
    Don't give me that crap. Can you stop
    making weird faces while we're at the guild?
[02:41] RUD
    Oh, uh... Teehee.
[02:44] NIN
    Unbelievable. Were you thinking
    about your little sister again?
[02:48] RUD
    How'd you know?
[02:49] NIN
    We're in the same party. Of course I'd know.
[02:53] NIN
    But, man, you sure do love your sister.
[02:56] NIN
    Can't you show an interest
     in something else for once?
[02:58] RUD
    Like what?
[03:01] NIN
    Like romance, maybe?
[03:03] RUD
    What? Nin, you don't mean...
[03:06] NIN
    Wait, Rud. You've got the wrong—
[03:08] RUD
    But no one's cuter than Manicia.
[03:10] NIN
    Bah!
[03:12] NIN
    Rud, I'm being serious—
[03:14] RUD
    In all seriousness, though...
[03:16] RUD
    I'm trying not to think about
    anything else right now.
[03:21] RUD
    Manicia has an incurable disease.
[03:24] RUD
    My only hope is the Secret Treasure of
    the Labyrinth that is said to grant any wish.
[03:29] NIN
    Rud...
[03:31] RUD
    But after yesterday's embarrassing display,
    finding it seems impossible.
[03:35] RUD
    I'm sorry to the others, too.
[03:38] NIN
    Don't say that.
[03:40] NIN
    You did your job as a tank.
[03:43] NIN
    You didn't even get hit yesterday. It made no
    sense how fast your absorb shield was depleting.
[03:47] RUD
    It wasn't just yesterday.
[03:49] RUD
    Lately, whenever we enter the labyrinth,
     my shield's been depleting for some reason.
[03:55] RUD
    I consume a lot of potions,
[03:57] RUD
    putting a significant burden on you,
     the party's healer. I'm really sorry.
[04:01] NIN
    What are you saying?
[04:04] NIN
    We've been able to fight as much
     as we have because of you.
[04:08] NIN
    I know that you protect me.
[04:12] NIN
    Besides, your absorb shield
    has a value of 9,999.
[04:16] NIN
    That's the highest value shield ever.
[04:18] RUD
    Nin...
[04:19] NIN
    You're an exceptional tank.
[04:22] NIN
    Even if a new party member
    shows up, hold your head high.
[04:25] ADVENTURER 2
    It's the Hero.
[04:26] ADVENTURER 3
    The one who's beaten numerous
    labyrinths despite his young age?
[04:30] ADVENTURER 1
    That's the great hero Kyglas.
[04:35] KYGLAS
    Hey, Rud. Sorry.
[04:38] KYGLAS
    Are we late?
[04:39] RUD
    No. You're right on time.
[04:41] NIN
    Good morning, Lilia and Lily.
[04:44] KYGLAS
    Now that the whole party's here,
     let me introduce you.
[04:48] KYGLAS
    Come here.
[04:49] KYGLAS
    These are our new members.
[04:51] RUD
    What?
[04:52] NIN
    Hold up, Kyglas.
[04:54] NIN
    What's going on here? Labyrinth rules
    only allow parties of up to six people.
[04:57] NIN
    This would make us seven.
[05:01] KYGLAS
    It's fine. We'll be down to six very soon.
[05:05] KYGLAS
    Rud, as of today, you're out.
[05:07] RUD
    What?
[05:10] RUD
    Why?
[05:13] KYGLAS
    Because you're a useless tank.
[05:13] NIN
    Wind Blast!
[05:15] LILY
    Aqua Storm!
[05:18] (Flashback) KYGLAS
    Life...
[05:20] (Flashback) KYGLAS
    Burst!
[05:23] NIN
    We did it!
[05:23] KYGLAS
    Yesterday, you instantly lost
    a significant portion of your shield.
[05:27] KYGLAS
    That was the deciding factor.
[05:29] (Flashback) KYGLAS
    What's going on?
[05:31] (Flashback) KYGLAS
    You can't be serious! We won't make
    any progress with a tank like this.
[05:35] (Flashback) RUD
    Uh, but...
[05:36] NIN
    Hold it. Rud was blocking the enemy's attacks,
[05:40] NIN
    but his absorb shield was still depleting.
[05:42] NIN
    There must be some other reason for it.
[05:45] KYGLAS
    It's obviously because
    his skills were interfering.
[05:48] KYGLAS
    The two skills with unknown effects.
[05:49] LILIA
    This is bad.
[05:50] NIN
    Rud, quickly!
[05:57] NIN
    It's true that not all skills are good.
[06:00] NIN
    But we still don't know if they're
     the cause. Yet you're just—
[06:04] KYGLAS
    What are you talking about?
[06:06] KYGLAS
    We could've all been killed. That's more
    than enough reason to kick him out.
[06:11] KYGLAS
    Besides, these new members are some of those
     evasion tanks that are popular these days.
[06:15] KYGLAS
    They can fight while dodging enemy attacks.
[06:19] KYGLAS
    Unlike you, who can only defend.
[06:24] KYGLAS
    So in summary...
[06:26] KYGLAS
    You're out.
[06:41] RUD
    Fine.
[06:48] NIN
    Rud...
[06:49] KYGLAS
    Hey, I'm not done talking to you.
[06:52] KYGLAS
    Yesterday, we made no profit because of you.
[06:56] KYGLAS
    Highest shield value ever? Whatever.
[06:59] KYGLAS
    You're just an incompetent tank
    who wastes his absorb shield.
[07:08] LILIA
    We know you're competent.
[07:10] LILIA
    Well, good luck.
[07:18] RUD
    Sorry. You invited me to join your party,
    but I guess I wasn't strong enough.
[07:24] NIN
    That's not true!
[07:26] NIN
    Rud, is this really goodbye?
[07:30] RUD
    Remember how I told you about
    the town my sister and I lived in?
[07:35] NIN
    Avancia, right? What about it?
[07:39] RUD
    Come visit sometime.
[07:41] RUD
    I won't always be in, but from now on,
     I'm going to live there with my sister.
[07:47] RUD
    So we'll meet again someday.
[07:51] NIN
    Okay.
[07:53] NIN
    Well, it's not like I'll miss you
     or anything, you know.
[07:58] RUD
    I know.
[08:00] RUD
    I look forward to the day we meet again.
[08:07] RUD
    Now, what should I do?
[08:10] RUD
    I can't go back to Avancia quite yet.
[08:12] (Flashback) KYGLAS
    You're just an incompetent tank
    who wastes his absorb shield.
[08:16] RUD/M
    Is Kyglas right about my skills chiping away at
    my absorb shield without me realizing it?
[08:21] RUD/M
    That would be a terrible skill to have.
[08:24] RUD/ID
    That said, I can't rely on
    anyone's Identify skill right now.
[08:28] NEW ADVENTURER A
    Still, are we sure we can handle
     this escort job with just us?
[08:33] NEW ADVENTURER C
    We've been promoted to D-rank. We'll be fine.
[08:36] NEW ADVENTURER B
    Yeah. We can probably make it to Kurass.
[08:40] NEW ADVENTURER A
    Yeah, but...

[09:12] NEW ADVENTURERS
    Please join us!
[09:13] RUD
    Oh, but I...
[09:14] MERCHANT
    You there.
[09:16] MERCHANT
    You are the adventurers
    who agreed to escort me, yes?
[09:19] NEW ADVENTURER A
    Yes, sir.
[09:20] NEW ADVENTURER B
    We've gained a new member.
[09:21] NEW ADVENTURER C
    What's your name?
[09:22] RUD
    It's R-Rud.
[09:24] MERCHANT
    Mr. Rud, huh? Okay, that's fine.
[09:27] MERCHANT
    Your pay will remain the same, though.
[09:31] MERCHANT
    Now, let's go.
[09:33] NEW ADVENTURER A
    Please do, sir.
[09:36] RUD/M
    I missed my chance to tell them my rank.
[09:39] RUD/M
    I feel like I've tricked them,
    but I can't do anything now.
[09:43] RUD/M
    I'll guard the wagon well
    until we reach Kurass.
[09:58] MERCHANT
    A fog is rolling in.
[10:00] MERCHANT
    Shall we rest soon?
[10:02] RUD
    No. We're nearly at Kurass, right?
[10:05] RUD
    I have a bad feeling.
[10:07] RUD
    We should head straight there.
[10:09] MERCHANT
    Very well.
[10:10] RUD/M
    As long as we watch out for ambushes,
    we should make it to Kurass safely.
[10:17] RUD
    Stop the wagon.
[10:19] NEW ADVENTURER A
    What is it?
[10:26] NEW ADVENTURER A
    Is it a monster?
[10:27] RUD
    It could be bandits. Stay here.
[10:37] RUD
    Hey, you.
[10:49] RUD
    H-Hey.
[10:58] RUD
    I don't sense anyone else nearby.
[11:00] RUD
    It's not a trap.
[11:02] RUD
    Are you all right?
[11:06] RUD
    Don't be scared. I won't hurt you.
[11:11] RUD
    Can you stand?
[11:17] RUD
    Sh-She's naked?
[11:20] RUD/M
    A magic stone? Is this girl...
[11:24] MERCHANT
    Mr. Rud, a monster!
[11:29] RUD/M
    A forest snake!
[11:35] NEW ADVENTURER C
    It's gigantic.
[11:37] RUD
    Hide.
[11:40] MERCHANT
    E-Everyone, that monster's poison
    is deadly. Don't let it bite you.
[11:44] NEW ADVENTURER B
    We can't beat that thing!
[11:46] NEW ADVENTURER A
    Are we going to die here?
[11:51] RUD
    Look at me, Forest Snake.
[11:54] RUD
    Provoke.
[12:06] NEW ADVENTURER A
    Mr. Rud!
[12:07] RUD
    It's fine. I have a skill that
    protects me from all status effects.
[12:11] RUD
    I'll draw its attention while you attack.
[12:13] NEW ADVENTURER A
    Yeah, but...
[12:15] NEW ADVENTURER C
    What should we do?
[12:17] RUD/M
    At this rate...
[12:31] (Flashback) RUD
    Manicia.
[12:34] (Flashback) MANICIA
    Brother.
[12:39] RUD/M
    I can't let it end here.
[12:43] RUD
    You guys.
[12:45] RUD
    I don't have a sword right now.
[12:48] RUD
    You will have to cut it down.
[12:52] RUD
    Grab your weapons and move your bodies.
[12:56] RUD
    We have to work together!
[13:03] RUD
    I swear that I, the strongest tank...
[13:09] RUD
    will block all of its attacks.
[13:11] RUD
    So trust in your own strength.
[13:16] RUD
    I promise that you guys...
[13:18] RUD
    will win!
[13:22] RUD
    Now!
[13:31] MERCHANT
    That's...
[13:33] MERCHANT
    Everyone, it's preparing a killing blow!
[13:37] MERCHANT
    You have to dodge it!
[13:39] RUD/M
    I can't dodge this attack.
[13:42] RUD/M
    If this is its killing blow...
[13:46] RUD/M
    there's meaning in stopping it!
[13:54] RUD
    Now!
[14:08] NEW ADVENTURER A
    I can't believe we defeated a forest snake.
[14:11] NEW ADVENTURER C
    We couldn't have done it by ourselves.
[14:13] NEW ADVENTURER B
    We beat it because of you, Mr. Rud.
[14:15] RUD
    We beat it because
    each of us performed our roles.
[14:19] RUD
    Anyway, could you carve up the monster?
[14:21] RUD
    I'll go check on the girl.
[14:24] NEW ADVENTURER A
    Got it.
[14:28] RUD
    Are you uninjured?
[14:30] LUNA
    Yes.
[14:32] RUD
    Good.
[14:34] RUD
    You were running from that monster, right?
[14:37] RUD
    What are you going to do now?
[14:40] RUD
    Do you have someplace to go?
[14:42] LUNA
    I don't have anywhere to go.
[14:46] RUD
    Then, do you want to come with me?
[14:50] RUD
    I'm on my way to a town called Avancia.
[14:54] LUNA
    I can go there with you?
[14:56] RUD
    If you don't mind.
[14:59] LUNA
    Of course I don't.
[15:04] RUD
    All right.
[15:05] RUD
    But you can't walk around dressed like that.
[15:10] MERCHANT
    You can have this, if you like.
[15:12] RUD
    Are you sure?
[15:14] MERCHANT
    Of course. I'd be dead if it wasn't
    for you, Mr. Rud. Take this as thanks.
[15:20] LUNA
    Thank you.
[15:21] RUD
    You can change over there.
[15:23] LUNA
    Okay.
[15:25] MERCHANT
    Is she an escaped slave, perhaps?
[15:30] RUD/M
    She's a homunculus.
[15:34] RUD/M
    Homunculi serve humans as slaves,
    so they normally don't travel alone.
[15:40] RUD/M
    Perhaps she's in some special circumstances.
[15:43] RUD
    It's hard to imagine slave traders
    would enter this dangerous forest.
[15:46] RUD
    She wasn't wearing a collar, either.
[15:49] RUD
    For now, I'll look after her.
[15:56] RUD
    Thank you.
[15:57] MERCHANT
    Are you sure this is far enough?
[16:00] RUD
    Yes.
[16:01] RUD
    We'll be going now.
[16:04] NEW ADVENTURER A
    Wait.
[16:06] NEW ADVENTURER A
    Mr. Rud, are you in a party right now?
[16:09] RUD
    No, not really.
[16:11] NEW ADVENTURER A
    Then, will you join up with us?
[16:14] NEW ADVENTURER B
    We'd like to adventure
    with a strong tank like you.
[16:19] RUD
    I appreciate the offer, but I actually
    need to find the Secret Treasure.
[16:23] NEW ADVENTURER A
    The one that's said to grant any wish?
[16:26] NEW ADVENTURER B
    It also has the ability to create homunculi.
[16:29] RUD
    Uh, yeah.
[16:31] NEW ADVENTURER A
    Homunculi, huh?
[16:33] NEW ADVENTURER C
    I don't really like homunculi.
[16:35] NEW ADVENTURER C
    They're expressionless and do their work
    dispassionately. They're kind of scary.
[16:39] NEW ADVENTURER B
    And only the magic stone on their chest
     visually distinguishes them from us.
[16:42] NEW ADVENTURER C
    Yeah, but...
[16:46] RUD
    Well, like I said, I can't go
     with you guys. Sorry.
[16:51] NEW ADVENTURER A
    I see.
[16:55] NEW ADVENTURER A
    I'm sure you'll conquer
    the labyrinth, Mr. Rud.
[17:14] RUD
    Come to think of it,
    we haven't introduced ourselves yet.
[17:18] RUD
    I'm Rud.
[17:19] LUNA
    Mr. Rud.
[17:21] RUD
    What's your name?
[17:26] LUNA
    I don't have a name.
[17:29] RUD
    Really?
[17:31] RUD
    It'll be hard to refer to you without a name.
[17:35] RUD/M
    Lunafia petals...
[17:40] RUD
    Luna.
[17:44] LUNA
    Luna?
[17:46] RUD
    If you don't like it,
    you can change it later.
[17:50] LUNA
    Oh, no. Thank you.
[18:01] LUNA
    Thank you for the meal.
[18:03] RUD
    We should arrive in Avancia tomorrow.
    Let's get an early night.
[18:07] LUNA
    Okay.
[18:29] RUD/M
    As I suspected, Luna must be an
    illegally created homunculus.
[18:35] RUD/M
    She has the will and emotions other
    homunculi lack. She can even fight.
[18:40] RUD/M
    Normally, illegal homunculi are disposed of.
[18:44] RUD/M
    But her frightened gaze
    reminded me of Manicia.
[18:48] RUD/M
    I can't abandon her.
[18:51] LUNA
    Oh, the pot! I'm sorry.
[18:53] RUD
    It's fine. We already ate.
[18:56] RUD
    Anyway, if you're that strong,
    couldn't you have defeated that forest snake?
[19:00] LUNA
    I-I'm skilled in magic.
[19:02] LUNA
    I don't have a single melee skill.
[19:06] RUD/M
    Magic? So she can imitate
    the effects of skills.
[19:11] RUD
    Do you have any magic skills?
[19:13] LUNA
    I have a skill that enhances magic.
[19:16] RUD
    What else?
[19:16] LUNA
    I have one support skill.
[19:19] LUNA
    It's Identify.
[19:20] RUD
    I see. Identify, huh?
[19:25] RUD
    Identify?!
[19:26] LUNA
    Y-Yes.
[19:27] RUD
    Identify is a very rare skill. Only one other
    person in the neighboring kingdom has it,
[19:32] RUD
    but I heard they passed away
     a few years back.
[19:36] RUD
    In other words, right now, you're the only
    person in the world with the Identify skill.
[19:40] LUNA
    I had no idea it was such a valuable skill.
[19:44] RUD
    Luna.
[19:45] RUD
    Could you identify my skills?
[19:48] LUNA
    Y-Yes, that's fine.
[19:50] RUD
    You will?
[19:51] LUNA
    That was my job.
[19:54] LUNA
    I need to touch you to use my skill. Excuse me.
[20:01] LUNA
    Mr. Rud, you have four skills.
[20:04] LUNA
    Provoke: the ability to focus
    an enemy's attention on yourself.
[20:10] LUNA
    Next is Healthy Body.
[20:11] LUNA
    It makes you immune to status effects,
    boosts your natural healing,
[20:15] LUNA
    and makes your body as tough as possible.
[20:17] RUD/M
    I know about those two already.
[20:20] RUD/M
    Now for what I'm really after.
[20:22] LUNA
    Next is Life Conversion.
[20:24] RUD
    Life Conversion?
[20:25] LUNA
    Life Conversion allows you to convert the
     absorb shield you've depleted into strength.

[20:31] RUD
    Which means it's an offensive skill.
[20:33] LUNA
    It would seem so.
[20:35] RUD/M
    So some skills can't be activated
    unless you understand them.
[20:40] LUNA
    Finally, there's...
[20:42] LUNA
    Shield of Sacrifice.
[20:44] RUD
    Shield of Sacrifice?
[20:46] LUNA
    Shield of Sacrifice allows you to treat the
    absorb shields of your allies as your own.

[21:00] RUD
    So I take the damage of others?
[21:02] LUNA
    Yes, apparently.
[21:05] RUD/M
    So I was taking damage
    without realizing it,
[21:08] RUD/M
    because I was using Shield of Sacrifice
    to protect my party members' shields?
[21:14] LUNA
    What is it?
[21:16] RUD
    I'd been worrying about
    my unknown skills for a long time.
[21:21] RUD
    I never thought it'd be resolved this easily.
[21:25] RUD
    Thanks, Luna.
[21:27] LUNA
    I'm glad I was useful.
[21:35] RUD/M
    I was kicked out of my party for
    having skills with unknown effects,
[21:40] RUD/M
    but I had the ultimate skills
    for protecting my allies.
[21:45] RUD/M
    I can return with my head held high...
[21:48] RUD/M
    To Avancia, where my sister awaits.
