Listen, this won't
just be hard.
I'll train you
to the brink of madness.
You sure you want that?
Yes
and you'd better not
hold back on me.
Hm, you've got resolve.
- [metal clanging]
- [ANGELICA] Um, what's this?
[RICK] To start we're only
doing 30 kilograms!
Slow down!
What sort of training
is this, anyway?
Don't forget
your strengthening spells.
You'll die.
Could you not skip
the explanations, please?
- We're off!
- Mm-hm.

- Huh!
I would still like
that explanation!

The Ossan Newbie Adventurer,
Trained to Death
by the Most Powerful Party,
Became Invincible
[screams]
I feel like my limbs are gonna
detach from my body
at this rate!
What kind of cruel torture
are you putting me through?
Being pulled along by someone
who's faster than you
gives your body an idea
of how it'll feel
once you're able to move
at this speed without any help!
[RICK] You're already
good at accelerating
but you aren't stable when
you get to your max speed!
[ANGELICA]
Stop! Stop, please!
I just need a moment!
Rick!
Pretty sure
that's the first time
you've called me
by my actual name!
All right, pick up the pace!
Don't change
the subject like that!
If you could just
slow down a little bit,
I wouldn't have a problem!
When you think
you've hit your limit,
it's important to give it
a little extra oomph,
so we're gonna
keep on going at this pace
for six more hours!
[ANGELICA]
That's not "a little!"
Save me!
[wind rustling]
I can see them.
My parents!
[gasps]
They're waving at me!
I knew this training would go
well for a knight second class!
Oh, yeah?
Wait, I just noticed
that I still have legs.
[ANGELICA] I figured we had
left them behind hours ago.
[Angelica chuckles]
I still remember
when Reanette did this to me!
[RICK] I lost
consciousness immediately!
When my first day
of training was done,
I had already died three times!
[ANGELICA] So, you
really are trying to kill me.
But I still managed
to survive my first day!
Good one!
But it's just 12 o'clock!
We'll take a quick break,
then start our
afternoon session!
There's more?
[ANGELICA]
Please, have mercy.
I'm begging you to spare me.
Well, let's pick this up
in one hour.

Don't pretend like
you can't hear

[chewing]
[sighs]
[ANGELICA]
I did enough.
Yeah.
Knowing your limits
isn't "running away."
And besides,
I signed up for training,
but that was torture.
This is a strategic retreat
for my own wellbeing.
Out here,
Rick will never find me!
- I found you!
- [spitting]
[RICK]
I didn't know this was here!
I searched the whole
kingdom for you!
But it's only been
fifteen minutes
since I ran away.

[sighs]
May I presume
you've arrived to scold me?
Then please go ahead
and give me your worst.
Hm?
Wait, what for?
It's no big deal.
Oh, really?
I understand
why you'd wanna run.
I can't say how many times
I tried those two years
or how many times
that I bit the dust.
[thuds]
Hmm.
[BROUGHSTON]
Seems he died again.
Alicerette, I need magic.
Here!
♪
Ah?
[gasps]
[BROUGHSTON]
Good, you woke up.
Huh?
I died again?
[BROUGHSTON] Alicerette lent me
a portion of her magic.
Enough to revive you
2,000 more times.
- Oh, great.
- [Alicerette giggles]
Now, let's pick up
where we left off.
Go, Ricky, go!
You got this!
For a while there,
I got used to dying.
Most people only
experience it once, you know.
I'm amazed you made it
through two years of that.
[RICK] I once told
Broughston I was quitting.
Thanks to him I remembered
why I was there.
He told me it was all
a matter of perspective.
Regrets aren't
necessarily easier
to live with than pain, right?
♪
So, I visualized scales
in my mind
and I weighed the two of them.
♪
Of course,
since you're still here,
your scales tilted in favor
of your current pain.
[RICK]
Yeah, but y'know what he said?
"Even if you had
chosen to quit.
I would have still
seen you off with a smile."
And frankly
those words made
everything feel easier to bear.
♪
Hmm.
[ANGELICA]
Honestly
I loathe the customs
of nobility.
What?
[ANGELICA] I've felt like
they were being shoved
down my throat all my life.
Etiquette and how to dance.
- [donkey braying]
- [ANGELICA] Makeup and fashion.
[ANGELICA] I must
have enjoyed them, right?
No!
I would gladly throw it away!
Huh?
[ANGELICA]
That's why I'm here.
It is not as a noblewoman
but as a fighter
that I will contribute
to the House of Diarmuit!
And to that end
I have long dreamed
of becoming the first
female knight special class.
♪
My scales tilt in favor
of my present suffering,
now and forevermore!
No doubt, I can see that!
[wind howling]
[RICK]
Double checking.
Doesn't your fighting style
use a modified version
of the knights' sword work?
[ANGELICA]
That's correct.
So, if you had a sword,
you'd be stronger.
Wouldn't you?
Yes, but unfortunately,
pugilists aren't
permitted weapons.
With that in mind
I've chosen a technique
that'll turn your hands
into swords.
Come again?
You can do that?
Of course, you can,
after a few lessons
from a real pro!
So, Reanette will teach you!
Hello, Miss Angelica.
Shall we begin?
[indistinct chatter]
All right!
We've got the final match
between Block C's top two!
Each of them went
seven and one!
[FEMALE ANNOUNCER 7A]
Silver Helgand
and Angelica Diarmuit!
No matter what happens
only the winner
will be allowed entry
to the tournament!
♪
[groaning]
What is this?
Where's the cute Angelica
we've been cheering for?
Her elegant style
won't work against Silver.
She's at a clear disadvantage
unless she can adapt
to a change in foe.
And now, let's get ready
for a fight!
[Angelica growls]
[grunting]
[both gasping]
[growling]
What?
Oh, we have a winner!
Give it up
for Angelica Diarmuit!
It appears her training
has been a success.
That endorphin high she's on
could be a problem, though.
- [ANGELICA] Let me go!
- [MALE REFEREE] Please relax!
Take it easy,
- the match is done!
- I'm not ready to die!
[ANGELICA] They're staring,
and not out of admiration.
I blacked out.
What did I do in the match?
Who cares?
You won,
and that's what really counts.
And now you earned yourself
a place in the tournament!
Right?
[REANETTE] The looks are simply
out of fear for their safety.
I was that bad?
[door creaking opens]
Ricky's in here!
[humming]
Glad to see you're back,
Alicerette!
The crew's together again!
If I may ask,
you left on rumors
that one of the Jewels
was in the Empire.
Did that prove true?
Not even a bit.
We couldn't find a thing.
It's a shame it wound up
being a waste of time.
Oh, well.
No way for us to know
without putting in the legwork
to check it out.
- Welcome to our inn!
- Hm? Hm?
Aren't you a sight
for sore eyes?
How about you and I
go and uh
Uhh?
Here, please follow me, boss!
- Thanks.
- [gasps]
[MILICIA]
He came back for me!
Wait, wha
[indistinct chatter]
[chomps]
It's all so good!
I'm so glad you like it!
I'll have to tell my father
you said that!
So, hear you've been
having some fun
on the east side of town.
Indeed.
The tournament houses a Jewel.
After we become champion,
it will be ours.
I wanna play this game!
You'd destroy the arena,
so, no way.
Blonde girl down there.
Angelica?
Is it true you've earned
a place in the tournament too?
You are correct.
I owe much of that
to the training Rick
and Reanette gave me.
Very good.
Though I admit, I thought
I would die a few times there.
But unlike me, you had some
baseline talent to work with.
She learned faster
than I could've hoped!
Even so,
time just isn't on my side.
Trust in the training you did.
However short,
the effort you put forth
is certain to yield results.
I agree.
Having faith in your hard work
is half the fight.
You are capable
of more than you know.
I dunno what's happening
but go you!
You're gonna show them all!
Don't hold back!

[FEMALE ANNOUNCER 7A]
Welcome, everybody
to the 113th
King of Fists Tournament!
[crowd cheering]
Take a look at our entrants!
These beasts won their way
through the qualifying rounds!
Set by our impartial lottery,
let's take a look!
Here's the matchups
for round one!
First up, Herman Mueller
versus Geith Resurrect!
Geith is the contestant entered
by our tournament sponsor,
the Dragonaut Company.
Second, we have
Angelica Diarmuit
versus Doug Heap!
- Yeah, Angelica!
- Yeah, Angelica!
[FEMALE ANNOUNCER 7A]
After that, we've got
Rick Gladiatol
versus Selina Kaine!
[RICK] I was scared I would
have to fight Broughston!
I'd rather withdraw
than go through that.
[chewing]
[FEMALE ANNOUNCER 7A]
Our fifth match,
Donnie Fischer
versus Broughston Ashorc!
Let's go, boss!
I know you can win!
All right, don't give the boss
those sexy eyes.
I have no idea what you mean!
Oh, sure, you don't!
I said I don't, so I don't!
[FEMALE ANNOUNCER 7A]
Our eighth match,
we've got Eddie Grace,
versus the legend
who has dominated
this tournament
for three years in a row!
Our champion, Kelvin Wolwolf!
[crowd cheering]
Do ya think he's feeling up
for it this year?
Whether he's up to it or not
doesn't change the fact
that he'll win.
[FEMALE ANNOUNCER 7A]
There you have it,
the pairings for round one!
We're taking bets
on who will win each matchup.
So, make your predictions
and walk away rich!
Notice something off?
Hm, notice what?
[ANGELICA]
This "impartial" lottery.
Look, how it panned out.
Geith won't fight Kelvin
or Broughston till the end.
So they wanted to save
the most dangerous fight
for the finals
to boost their odds?
The brackets are fixed
to work with their plan.
They likely mean
to impress the audience
with Geith's strength
right away.
[ANGELICA]
Then, when the time is right
and the odds are higher,
Snape will place his bet.
If Geith throws a match
that he's expected to win,
they'll be able to get
a massive payout from his loss.
Right, and with that
we see how his fights
are planned out.
He can't start against
someone too strong,
but he's not ready for me
to beat him in round two!
What would you have done
if you didn't fight Geith
until the finals, and he tried
to throw the match?
Ah!
Ah-hh
Did you think about that?
[scoffs]
It was destined to go this way!
I'll take
that answer as a "no."
[yawns]
I'm already bored of this.
[footfall]
- [KELVIN] Look, who it is!
- [gasps]
So, you actually made it.
♪
We have,
and next, we take that belt.
I would love to see you try.
Don't count your chickens
just yet!
See you in the semi-finals.

You look like you're the one
who's challenging him.
I am.
Makes me remember
how you looked back then.
[DANIEL]
Welcome to my gym.
It's nothing fancy, but we've
had members in the semis
at the King
of Fists Tournament.
In that case, where can I meet
these semifinalists?
I wanna see
what they're made of.

[chuckles]
[DANIEL] Why don't you say hi
to Garron over there?
Oh, and what if he dies?
[MALE CITIZEN 7A]
Hey, killing isn't allowed!
Also, there's
no weapons or armor.
Otherwise, the only rule
is victory goes
to the last man standing.
Sounds like fun.
Just don't get upset
when I knock this guy out!
♪
[grunting]
So, Garron's too much
for him, huh?
- Still, that wasn't half bad.
- No doubt.
This kid's got a feel
for how to scrap.
If he's this strong
without any formal teaching,
imagine what he'll look like
when we get
those skills refined.
[panting]
♪
[DANIEL] When you got
your first taste of defeat,
I saw it, you were changed.
[KELVIN] Yeah, after losing
to someone stronger,
I knew I had to get
stronger too.
Then, I lost to tougher guys
and started training even more.
The true battle I fought
was always against
the me from yesterday.

Has the sponsor slot
ever been so strong?
We've got a dark horse

That was brutal to watch.
But it seemed
kinda strange, too.
His offense and defense
are incredible,

a total amateur's.
"Strange" is the
only word for that.

I hope so.

All right.
Combatants, fight!
[grunting]
- [KELVIN] A feint.
- [grunts]
That didn't look like he
was just reacting quickly.
It seems more like
he already knew
what was coming
and prepared his counterattack.
Perhaps he trained
his olfactory senses
to understand through
his opponent's smell.
Dog people are known
for such tactics.
[BROUGHSTON]
He's able to detect
minute changes to hormones.
To make it simple,
let's call it Future Scenting.
♪
That's quite the skill!
I agree.
He's a magnificent pugilist.
[crowd gasping]
♪
And yet, he took a hit?
Seems like it.
He's not the fastest,
but is he slow enough
to mess up like that?
No way,
he's not really that slow.
He allowed himself to be hit.
But why?
- Go, Kelvin! Keep fighting!

He's become way too
inconsistent over the years.

It's almost her turn.
That's right.
Let's see how well
her training's paid off.
- [SNAPE] Hello, good sir.
- Ah?

Oh, Snape.
Would you mind if I took
this seat next to yours?
No, please.
[Snape chuckles]
I see we have an adorable guest
accompanying us.
A pleasure, my lady.
Hmm.
I like bologna, mister, but
isn't that a little too much?
[Snape gasps]
Relax it's fine!
He's got adult problems
to deal with.
Poor green guy,
that sounds tough!
I must admit,
I'm at a loss here.
Isn't it better to watch
the fights from the VIP seats?
Not for this match.
My little brother is pitted
against my bride-to-be.
Wouldn't you want
to watch it up close too?
[footfall]
[groans]
I drank too much.
Hey, Geith!
Yeah, what do you want?
Spit it out.
I'm going to be
your opponent today!
[GEITH]
Oh.
So, you're that human female?
Snape told me to avoid
hitting your face.
Said he didn't wanna risk
ruining the visuals
at his wedding.
I'm curious how long you'll
be able to keep your cool.
You're in for a surprise
when you see the results
of my hard work!
Hard work?
Quit joking!
You could practice one kick
10,000 times,
for all I care!
All I do is spend my
father's money for fun
and I could still
squash you like a gnat!
That has to be a lie.
You can't have
a physique like that
without serious training.
Why would I bother
lying to a bug like you?
I just do whatever I want
and I stay ripped!
Guess I'm a real miracle
of nature, huh?
[GEITH]
Now, learn your place, girl.
I'll be sure
to miss your stomach.
Can't hurt

My scales tilt in favor

No doubt, I can see that!

[RICK]
Double checking.
Doesn't your fighting style
use a modified version
of the knights' sword work?
[ANGELICA]
That's correct.
So, if you had a sword,
you'd be stronger.
Wouldn't you?
Yes, but unfortunately,
pugilists aren't
permitted weapons.
With that in mind
I've chosen a technique
that'll turn your hands
into swords.
Come again?
You can do that?
Of course, you can,
after a few lessons
from a real pro!
So, Reanette will teach you!
Hello, Miss Angelica.
Shall we begin?

All right!
We've got the final match
between Block C's top two!
Each of them went
seven and one!

What is this?
Where's the cute Angelica
we've been cheering for?
Her elegant style
won't work against Silver.
She's at a clear disadvantage
unless she can adapt
to a change in foe.
And now, let's get ready
for a fight!
[Angelica growls]

What?
Oh, we have a winner!
Give it up
for Angelica Diarmuit!
It appears her training
has been a success.
That endorphin high she's on
could be a problem, though.
- [ANGELICA] Let me go!
- [MALE REFEREE] Please relax!
Take it easy,
- the match is done!
- I'm not ready to die!
[ANGELICA] They're staring,
and not out of admiration.
I blacked out.
What did I do in the match?
Who cares?
You won,
and that's what really counts.
And now you earned yourself
a place in the tournament!
Right?
[REANETTE] The looks are simply
out of fear for their safety.
I was that bad?
[door creaking opens]
Ricky's in here!
[humming]
Glad to see you're back,
Alicerette!
The crew's together again!
If I may ask,
you left on rumors
that one of the Jewels
was in the Empire.
Did that prove true?
Not even a bit.
We couldn't find a thing.
It's a shame it wound up
being a waste of time.
Oh, well.
No way for us to know
without putting in the legwork
to check it out.

Aren't you a sight

How about you and I

Uhh?
Here, please follow me, boss!

Wait, wha

It's all so good!
I'm so glad you like it!
I'll have to tell my father
you said that!
So, hear you've been
having some fun
on the east side of town.
Indeed.
The tournament houses a Jewel.
After we become champion,
it will be ours.
I wanna play this game!
You'd destroy the arena,
so, no way.
Blonde girl down there.
Angelica?
Is it true you've earned
a place in the tournament too?
You are correct.
I owe much of that
to the training Rick
and Reanette gave me.
Very good.
Though I admit, I thought
I would die a few times there.
But unlike me, you had some
baseline talent to work with.
She learned faster
than I could've hoped!
Even so,
time just isn't on my side.
Trust in the training you did.
However short,
the effort you put forth
is certain to yield results.
I agree.
Having faith in your hard work
is half the fight.
You are capable
of more than you know.
I dunno what's happening
but go you!
You're gonna show them all!

Take a look at our entrants!
These beasts won their way
through the qualifying rounds!
Set by our impartial lottery,
let's take a look!
Here's the matchups
for round one!
First up, Herman Mueller
versus Geith Resurrect!
Geith is the contestant entered
by our tournament sponsor,
the Dragonaut Company.
Second, we have
Angelica Diarmuit

Our eighth match,
we've got Eddie Grace,
versus the legend
who has dominated
this tournament
for three years in a row!
Our champion, Kelvin Wolwolf!

Do ya think he's feeling up
for it this year?
Whether he's up to it or not

that he'll win.

There you have it,
the pairings for round one!
We're taking bets
on who will win each matchup.
So, make your predictions
and walk away rich!
Notice something off?
Hm, notice what?
[ANGELICA]
This "impartial" lottery.
Look, how it panned out.
Geith won't fight Kelvin
or Broughston till the end.
So they wanted to save
the most dangerous fight
for the finals
to boost their odds?
The brackets are fixed
to work with their plan.
They likely mean
to impress the audience
with Geith's strength
right away.
[ANGELICA]
Then, when the time is right
and the odds are higher,
Snape will place his bet.
If Geith throws a match
that he's expected to win,
they'll be able to get
a massive payout from his loss.
Right, and with that
we see how his fights
are planned out.
He can't start against
someone too strong,
but he's not ready for me
to beat him in round two!
What would you have done
if you didn't fight Geith
until the finals, and he tried
to throw the match?
Ah!
Ah-hh
Did you think about that?
[scoffs]
It was destined to go this way!
I'll take
that answer as a "no."
