The Perfect Prodigy, Born with Absolutely Everything

[ANGELICA]
Magic Flow, Reverse Reflection!
Thread Slash.
Uh
[ANGELICA]
Now, tell me,
who'd you call a weakling?
- Yeah!
- [gasps] But how?
[SNAPE] Even a blade
sharpened to perfection
wouldn't be able
to leave a scratch on Geith!
Underestimating Angelica
is a big mistake!
Isn't that right?
We've taught her a secret
technique of body control.
[slashes]
[thuds]
What lets you do that
without magic?
Thread Slash.
You will learn.
This is how your arms
can act as your sword.
[ANGELICA]
You have a habit
of casually talking
about the impossible.
It's far from impossible.
Even Mister Rick can do it.
[ANGELICA]
"Even" him?
[RICK]
Though I can't make it
half as precise
as Reanette can.
The trick is to move
with the flow of wind,
and slice through with a light,
but firm touch.
Move with the flow of the wind.
[ANGELICA]
With a light, but firm touch.
If I can,
then I might stand a chance.
[RICK] The first few times
didn't go the way she wanted.
But she has applied herself
more than ever before.
The result of that hard work
was a style unique to her.
A reimagining
of what she was taught.
Magic Flow, Reverse Reflection
is a technique
that releases magical energy
from the body in short bursts
that exceeds
your normal limits.
[RICK] The burden it puts
on your body is immense,
but it's nothing compared
to the month
of hellish training
we put her through!
[REANETTE]
She gains the requisite speed
using Flickering Feet.
No one can do this
but Miss Angelica.
Looks like it paid off!

Bad news, big bro!
When you give me a meal
as fun as her.
I can't hold back!
You better hope
I don't break your toy!
How troubling.
But that's Geith.
Compared to failure,
one measly hit
doesn't feel bad!
Flickering Feet!
Thread Sla
[Angelica screams]
[groans]
Is that all?
Flickering Feet!
I'm growing tired of that move.
[GEITH]
"Flickering Feet," was it?
[GEITH]
After watching it,
anyone could figure it out!
[gasps]
[thuds]
[screams]
Nothing feels better than
humiliating mediocre trash
in front of a giant audience!
That didn't look good!
Do you see it now?
Geith is the very image
of genuine power.
[SNAPE]
I remember
back when I was
a famous pugilist,
I met Geith after
my family adopted him
when he was barely eight.
[SNAPE]
That day
[clattering]
he beat me down so soundly
in our sparring match,
I was left unable to stand.
[yawns]
[SNAPE]
That was when
I decided to retire.
You see,
there is only one thing
we can call
such a prodigy of combat.
[SNAPE] Geith
is nothing short of a monster.
Huh?
So, no matter
how many years you train,
this is all
you'll ever amount to?
You must hate your parents
for only having worthless
genes to pass on.
Oh, wait.
I guess there's no real use
in hating them anymore.
At least that trash has
already been taken out!
[grimacing]
[SNAPE]
I know
Angelica believes
I've tampered with the bracket
and fixed the match results,
but I have no need
for such petty trickery.
What?
That means
No one bets on
the unknown competitor
in the sponsor's slot to win.
The thought of them
becoming champion
would be seen as absurd!
[SNAPE] Which means the bet
I've placed on Geith's victory
will have unimaginable returns
after I'm proven correct.
[GEITH] Hey, come on!
Don't get boring on me now!
[Angelica groans]
[indistinct chatter]
[Geith grunts]
[GEITH]
Fight back!
You bragged
about your training!
Show me what it was worth!
Ah, crap.
S'posed to avoid
the baby maker.
[whimpering]
- [crowd gasp]
- [TRIS] No! Angelica.
This is getting hard to watch.
I don't know
if she can fight anymore!
You won't win.
Never.
[growling]
[GEITH]
Can't wait to watch you lose
that last bit of defiance.
When you realize
that mediocre trash
can't hope to stand up
to a prodigy
born with everything you lack!
[ANGELICA]
I won't lose.
I can't!
Please.
My scales are the same.

watching such a cute lady
get beat down like that.

Well!

who went and dug his own grave!

Angelica!
The medics cleared you?
Yeah.
[RICK] Did Broughston throw you
some healing magic?
Still, don't push yourself.
People misunderstand
how it works
but holy magic
doesn't fully heal.
Some serious injuries
need time.
Not to mention the fatigue.
I know.
[RICK]
Anyway, I'm off.
[ANGELICA]
I'm so sorry.
[RICK]
Huh?
[ANGELICA]
You trained me.
Even though
you got nothing out of it,
you refused to give up on me.
You tried to help the girl
with no talent,
and I repaid you
by wasting your time.
[ANGELICA]
I'm so sorry.
Angelica.
[ANGELICA]
I thought I could rebel
against the role
of a noblewoman
being forced on me.
I thought I could
walk on my own two feet.
[weeping] I thought
I could achieve my dreams!
I thought so many things!
[Angelica crying]
Perhaps marrying Snape
won't be so bad.
I could surely do much worse.
I'll be safe with him,
and I'll never
have to work again.
Stop it.
I'm the one
who should apologize.
You worked harder than
anyone could reasonably ask.
This was my fault for
not correctly
assessing his strength.
- I'm sorry.
- No, no!
You did nothing wrong!
[RICK]
Watch me and pay attention!
I'll show you what lies just
beyond your current training.
[ANGELICA]
Huh?
[wind gusting]
What lies beyond?
The semifinals are here
at long last!

Our first match,
Geith Resurrect
versus Rick Gladiatol!
Who moves to the finals
and who stops here?
So, that woman
still drawing breath?
[GEITH]
I screwed up yesterday,
so I'm thinking of apologizing.
Oh, are you?
[GEITH]
If I'd actually killed her,
she wouldn't have
to live the rest of her life
ashamed that she could
never step outside
the shadow of her superiors!
So, I'm sorry for
not finishing her off.
[GEITH]
My bad.

this show on the road?

Combatants, fight!
Do your worst!
Let's see how your hard work
has gotten you nowhere at all!

[Geith groans]
[crowd cheering]

[groaning]
What's this?
[RICK]
Guess an average man
can still bring
a prodigy to his knees.
Now get up.
You look pathetic
way down there
and I could never hit the weak.
[GEITH]
Shut up!
You're sounding awfully cocky
for a wannabe
with a lucky punch!
Yah!
[thwacks]
[groans]
That worked?
What about Iron Body?
He's so strong.
Observe, he's barely used
any strength at all.
[ANGELICA]
Huh?
He used a technique
of body control.
Otherwise known as
a Through Attack.
The force of the strike
doesn't land
on the opponent's
hard exterior,
but deep inside them,
where they're soft.
It doesn't matter how tough
this dragonid guy is,
'cause if your innards
feel like
they were eaten by a monster
and came out the other end?
[MIZETT]
That's gonna hurt.
You can withdraw if you want.
Shut your mouth!
Don't look down on me, whelp!
I have strengthening magic
inherent to dragonids.
Bow before my Dragon Forze!
Oh?
[grunts]
[thuds]
Interesting.
It appears
Rick's goal is not
simply winning this bout.
[grunts]
[thwacks]
[laughs]
[BROUGHTSTON]
This strengthening magic,
Dragon Forze.
It seems like
it would burn through
one's magical energy fast.
Quite.
[SNAPE] Geith has never had
to train his magical capacity.
This is simply
what he was born with.
Seriously?
Do you have any clue
how much trouble I've had
because my reserves are so low?
Not my problem!
Complain to your parents
for their bad genes!
[RICK] Well, I think
I'm still doing just fine!
Through Attack!
[GEITH]
Iron Body. Tough luck.
[Geith grunts]
[GEITH]
How's this?
Thread Slash, too?
And the Through Attack?
[groans]
Haven't heard a crowd
this quiet in a long time.
They're thinking a prodigy
beating a totally normal guy
is so obvious, it's boring.
Anyone could see
this coming with ease
but it's still a shame,
isn't it?
How curious.
Do you believe
Rick is on the back foot?
[SNAPE] Hm?
What else would I think?
In this moment,
Rick could not care less
what any of us think
about his performance.
[BROUGHTSTON]
Except you.
It's how you see him
that's important right now.
[ANGELICA]
Huh?
[yelling]
[screams]
[panting]
[RICK] I'm impressed
by that endurance!
But I've finally
got you breathing hard!
What's going on here?
[GEITH] How are you not
bleeding after I hit you?
It's another technique
of body control,
Flowing Strikes.
[RICK] I can take
the brunt of your attack
and disperse it
throughout my body.
In spite of how many times
you've landed a hit,
I've barely taken any damage.
You're that strong?
You had better not be
going easy on me!
I can't deny, there's some
truth to your statement.
I am trying to win,
but I've restricted
my physical abilities
to match
where Angelica's at right now
and I'm going
all out like that.
Why would he match me?
To prove a point.
Though, that first punch
my man threw
looked more like venting rage
than proving anything.
Rick has more important things
on his mind today
than simply winning the match.
[BROUGHTSTON]
Angelica,
he wants to show you
your potential,
with refined training.
[gasps]
[BROUGHTSTON]
He's fighting as you,
Angelica versus Geith,
in something akin to a rematch.
♪
You dare to turn
our fight into mockery?
[GEITH] I will turn
your bones into paste!
Be practical!
Think of your remaining energy
before attacking me!
Iron Body!
[GEITH]
Forceful Fist!
Flickering Feet!
[Geith screams]
[screams]
- Through Attack!
- [groans]
Your magic is weak
because you're too tired
to fight.
[RICK] I bet you're pretty
confused about that.
Why wouldn't you be?
You've never had
to work at anything
hard enough to get tired!
No way.
But, how?
Could it be that
this man possesses talent
that far exceeds Geith's own?
You couldn't be more wrong.
He's the most average dude
I know.
[ALICERETTE]
Who are you looking at, Mister?
To call him gifted
would be laughable.
Even with his lack of talent,
don't you think
that's too harsh?
He began training
when it was already too late
to improve
one's magic reserves,
so he could be called
below average.
[SNAPE] All right,
then how do you explain this?
He's overpowering a prodigy!
[BROUGHTSTON]
Angelica,
you understand, right?
I do.
Since you've never
gotten tired before
you don't know
how you're supposed to move
when your strength
is giving out.
That's why your recent moves
could be called sloppy at best.
[RICK]
Some people work hard.
They push themselves
even through fatigue.
They keep going
until they can't move!
You don't know your strength
until you've seen that.
Until you've been
pushed to your outer limits!
Shut up.
Shut up!
[Geith groans]
[RICK] There's no doubt
you're a prodigy.
That's obvious to see.
You're this strong
without putting in the effort
that others do.
[RICK]
But still,
as a prodigy,
you're only level one.
Actual prodigies,
they don't stop
training their talent.
They keep honing them
for their entire lives.
I know prodigies
at level a thousand.
The real deal!
I've seen it closer than I wish
and that's how I know
what it means to be powerful!
[RICK]
I'm sure you've always believed
you were at the pinnacle
of the world's strength,
but I'll burst your bubble.
Until today,
you had only met people
you could beat.
You're a big lizard,
but you're in a small pond.
[GEITH]
Shut up.
Shut up!
Quit blathering
you buzzing gnat.
Inborn Dragonid
Strengthening Magic.
Highest strength!
[exhales]
[GEITH]
I invoke Dragon Ricorgen!
He's literally
a full-blown dragon now!
You're not wrong.
Dragonids trace our roots
to ancient dragons.
He calls our ancestral blood.
[screams]
[thuds]
[grunts]
[GEITH]
Oh?
Did I feel a fly?
It's like he's made of metal!
[RICK]
And his attacks are faster.
[groans]
Oh, good grief.
You got all the luck
with that body!
But there's no way to win!
So, now you understand, whelpling?
I understand perfectly.
Angelica couldn't win.
Not with her training
up to now.
[RICK]
But could she ever win?
Could a small girl
beat a big man?
Or is she better off
just giving up?
There are sometimes
when that's not possible.
And to prepare for that
she trains herself to death!
Huh?
In six months.
[gasps]
In nine months.
[Geith groans]
[groans]
Die!
Twelve months.
[gasps]
Where'd he go?
He's so quick!
I can't begin to compare
what I can do today with that,
but there's no doubt
that's Flickering Feet!
[ANGELICA]
I can.
I can!
This is my strength
after training for a year.
I can do that!
[Geith groaning]
[RICK]
You could try all your life,
but normal hard work
won't overcome innate skill.
You need to be crazy enough
to push yourself
with everything you've got,
then push some more!
[RICK] You have to work
yourself to death for a month
and still lose,
but know that in a year,
that hard work will pay off!
[RICK]
Look at your scales.
Which way are they leaning?
♪
[ANGELICA]
An idiotic question.
No matter what,
my scales only tilt
in one direction.
From when I was born
till I die!
[groans]
Now, what are you
gonna do, Geith?
You only have one hope to win.
Let's see you struggle
with everything you've got!
[RICK]
But can you?
You've always looked
down on that trait in others!
If you can
let go of that pride,
then I'll fight you
as my equal!
Why would I do that?
What makes you think
I would stoop to the level
of a pathetic insect?
Then, here's the end.
You need to learn your place,
trash!
[GEITH]
You are nothing before me!
The trick
is to move with the flow
of the wind.
[growling]

[RICK] [gasps]
Angelica!
The medics cleared you?
Yeah.
[RICK] Did Broughston throw you
some healing magic?
Still, don't push yourself.
People misunderstand
how it works
but holy magic
doesn't fully heal.
Some serious injuries
need time.
Not to mention the fatigue.
I know.
[RICK]
Anyway, I'm off.
[ANGELICA]
I'm so sorry.
[RICK]
Huh?
[ANGELICA]
You trained me.
Even though
you got nothing out of it,
you refused to give up on me.
You tried to help the girl
with no talent,
and I repaid you
by wasting your time.
[ANGELICA]
I'm so sorry.
Angelica.
[ANGELICA]
I thought I could rebel
against the role
of a noblewoman
being forced on me.
I thought I could
walk on my own two feet.
[weeping] I thought
I could achieve my dreams!
I thought so many things!
[Angelica crying]
Perhaps marrying Snape
won't be so bad.
I could surely do much worse.
I'll be safe with him,
and I'll never
have to work again.
Stop it.
I'm the one
who should apologize.
You worked harder than
anyone could reasonably ask.
This was my fault for
not correctly
assessing his strength.
- I'm sorry.
- No, no!
You did nothing wrong!
[RICK]
Watch me and pay attention!
I'll show you what lies just
beyond your current training.
[ANGELICA]
Huh?
[wind gusting]
What lies beyond?
The semifinals are here
at long last!
[ANNOUNCER]
Our first match,
Geith Resurrect
versus Rick Gladiatol!
Who moves to the finals
and who stops here?
So, that woman
still drawing breath?
[GEITH]
I screwed up yesterday,
so I'm thinking of apologizing.
Oh, are you?
[GEITH]
If I'd actually killed her,
she wouldn't have
to live the rest of her life
ashamed that she could
never step outside
the shadow of her superiors!
So, I'm sorry for
not finishing her off.
[GEITH]
My bad.
[growling]
What do you say we get
this show on the road?
[ANNOUNCER]
Combatants, fight!
Do your worst!
Let's see how your hard work
has gotten you nowhere at all!
Try to win,
you mediocre piece of
[Geith groans]
[crowd cheering]
- [gasps]
[groaning]
What's this?
[RICK]
Guess an average man
can still bring
a prodigy to his knees.
Now get up.
You look pathetic
way down there
and I could never hit the weak.
[GEITH]
Shut up!
You're sounding awfully cocky
for a wannabe
with a lucky punch!
Yah!
[thwacks]
[groans]
That worked?
What about Iron Body?
He's so strong.
Observe, he's barely used
any strength at all.
[ANGELICA]
Huh?
He used a technique
of body control.
Otherwise known as
a Through Attack.
The force of the strike
doesn't land
on the opponent's
hard exterior,
but deep inside them,
where they're soft.
It doesn't matter how tough
this dragonid guy is,
'cause if your innards
feel like
they were eaten by a monster
and came out the other end?
[MIZETT]
That's gonna hurt.
You can withdraw if you want.
Shut your mouth!
Don't look down on me, whelp!
I have strengthening magic
inherent to dragonids.
Bow before my Dragon Forze!
Oh?
[grunts]
[thuds]
Interesting.
It appears
Rick's goal is not
simply winning this bout.
[grunts]
[thwacks]
[laughs]
[BROUGHTSTON]
This strengthening magic,
Dragon Forze.
It seems like
it would burn through
one's magical energy fast.
Quite.
[SNAPE] Geith has never had
to train his magical capacity.
This is simply
what he was born with.
Seriously?
Do you have any clue
how much trouble I've had
because my reserves are so low?
Not my problem!
Complain to your parents
for their bad genes!
[RICK] Well, I think
I'm still doing just fine!
Through Attack!
[GEITH]
Iron Body. Tough luck.
[Geith grunts]
[GEITH]
How's this?
Thread Slash, too?
And the Through Attack?
[groans]
Haven't heard a crowd
this quiet in a long time.
They're thinking a prodigy
beating a totally normal guy
is so obvious, it's boring.
Anyone could see
this coming with ease
but it's still a shame,
isn't it?
How curious.
Do you believe
Rick is on the back foot?
[SNAPE] Hm?
What else would I think?
In this moment,
Rick could not care less
what any of us think
about his performance.
[BROUGHTSTON]
Except you.
It's how you see him
that's important right now.
[ANGELICA]
Huh?
[yelling]
[screams]
[panting]
[RICK] I'm impressed
by that endurance!
But I've finally
got you breathing hard!
What's going on here?
[GEITH] How are you not
bleeding after I hit you?
It's another technique
of body control,
Flowing Strikes.
[RICK] I can take
the brunt of your attack
and disperse it
throughout my body.
In spite of how many times
you've landed a hit,
I've barely taken any damage.
You're that strong?
You had better not be
going easy on me!
I can't deny, there's some
truth to your statement.
I am trying to win,
but I've restricted
my physical abilities
to match
where Angelica's at right now
and I'm going
all out like that.
Why would he match me?
To prove a point.
Though, that first punch
my man threw
looked more like venting rage
than proving anything.
Rick has more important things
on his mind today
than simply winning the match.
[BROUGHTSTON]
Angelica,
he wants to show you
your potential,
with refined training.
[gasps]
[BROUGHTSTON]
He's fighting as you,
Angelica versus Geith,
in something akin to a rematch.
♪
You dare to turn
our fight into mockery?
[GEITH] I will turn
your bones into paste!
Be practical!
Think of your remaining energy
before attacking me!
Iron Body!
[GEITH]
Forceful Fist!
Flickering Feet!
[Geith screams]
[screams]
- Through Attack!
- [groans]
Your magic is weak
because you're too tired
to fight.
[RICK] I bet you're pretty
confused about that.
Why wouldn't you be?
You've never had
to work at anything
hard enough to get tired!
No way.
But, how?
Could it be that
this man possesses talent
that far exceeds Geith's own?
You couldn't be more wrong.
He's the most average dude
I know.
[ALICERETTE]
Who are you looking at, Mister?
To call him gifted
would be laughable.
Even with his lack of talent,
don't you think
that's too harsh?
He began training
when it was already too late
to improve
one's magic reserves,
so he could be called
below average.
[SNAPE] All right,
then how do you explain this?
He's overpowering a prodigy!
[BROUGHTSTON]
Angelica,
you understand, right?
I do.
Since you've never
gotten tired before
you don't know
how you're supposed to move
when your strength
is giving out.
That's why your recent moves
could be called sloppy at best.
[RICK]
Some people work hard.
They push themselves
even through fatigue.
They keep going
until they can't move!
You don't know your strength
until you've seen that.
Until you've been
pushed to your outer limits!
Shut up.
Shut up!
[Geith groans]
[RICK] There's no doubt
you're a prodigy.
That's obvious to see.
You're this strong
without putting in the effort
that others do.
[RICK]
But still,
as a prodigy,
you're only level one.
Actual prodigies,
they don't stop
training their talent.
They keep honing them
for their entire lives.
I know prodigies
at level a thousand.
The real deal!
I've seen it closer than I wish
and that's how I know
what it means to be powerful!
[RICK]
I'm sure you've always believed
you were at the pinnacle
of the world's strength,
but I'll burst your bubble.
Until today,
you had only met people
you could beat.
You're a big lizard,
but you're in a small pond.
[GEITH]
Shut up.
Shut up!
Quit blathering
you buzzing gnat.
Inborn Dragonid
Strengthening Magic.
Highest strength!
[exhales]
[GEITH]
I invoke Dragon Ricorgen!
He's literally
a full-blown dragon now!
You're not wrong.
Dragonids trace our roots
to ancient dragons.
He calls our ancestral blood.
[screams]
[thuds]
[grunts]
[GEITH]
Oh?
Did I feel a fly?
It's like he's made of metal!
[RICK]
And his attacks are faster.
[groans]
Oh, good grief.
You got all the luck
with that body!
But there's no way to win!
So, now you understand, whelpling?
I understand perfectly.
Angelica couldn't win.
Not with her training
up to now.
[RICK]
But could she ever win?
Could a small girl
beat a big man?
Or is she better off
just giving up?
There are sometimes
when that's not possible.
And to prepare for that
she trains herself to death!
Huh?
In six months.
[gasps]
In nine months.
[Geith groans]
[groans]
Die!
Twelve months.
[gasps]
Where'd he go?
He's so quick!
I can't begin to compare
what I can do today with that,
but there's no doubt
that's Flickering Feet!
[ANGELICA]
I can.
I can!
This is my strength
after training for a year.
I can do that!
[Geith groaning]
[RICK]
You could try all your life,
but normal hard work
won't overcome innate skill.
You need to be crazy enough
to push yourself
with everything you've got,
then push some more!
[RICK] You have to work
yourself to death for a month
and still lose,
but know that in a year,
that hard work will pay off!
[RICK]
Look at your scales.
Which way are they leaning?
♪
[ANGELICA]
An idiotic question.
No matter what,
my scales only tilt
in one direction.
From when I was born
till I die!
[groans]
Now, what are you
gonna do, Geith?
You only have one hope to win.
Let's see you struggle
with everything you've got!
[RICK]
But can you?
You've always looked
down on that trait in others!
If you can
let go of that pride,
then I'll fight you
as my equal!
Why would I do that?
What makes you think
I would stoop to the level
of a pathetic insect?
Then, here's the end.
You need to learn your place,
trash!
[GEITH]
You are nothing before me!
The trick
is to move with the flow
of the wind.
