Determined to pursue his glorious childhood dreams, 30-year-old Rick Gladiatol, a modest clerk in the adventurers' guild, is offered a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity after he fatefully encounters the dark elf Reanette Elfelt. Reanette happens to be an elite adventurer of the legendary party Orichalcum Fist, whose members welcome Rick under the condition that he follow a Spartan training. Two years later, Rick is finally ready to take the E-Rank exam officially qualifying him as an adventurer. However, raw magical power can only be developed until one turns 20. As such, Rick faces the general hostility of fellow participants and examiners alike, leaving him no choice but to show the world that his hellish training has turned him into an invincible warrior.
Episodes
1. Starting 12 Years Late
Rick Gladiatol became an adventurer at the age of thirty. Now, after two years of training, he's taking the test to advance to E-rank. As the exam begins, he wonders if he's done enough to measure up to all the young people testing alongside him.
2. 4242's E-rank Promotion Exam
As Rick awaits his initial exam results, Raster, an examiner for the upcoming section, appears. Rick stops him from hitting on Reanette and earns the examiner's hatred. Raster isn't one to be thwarted, and he isn't called the F-rank Crusher for nothing.
3. A Super First-Rate Elite vs an F-Rank Ossan
Rick begins his mock battle with the F-rank Crusher, Raster Diarmut. Raster thinks the gap in ability between him, a genius, and Rick, a late-starting newbie, is all too clear. But as the battle progresses, Rick's training begins to show through.
4. The Ossan Becomes an Adventurer
As Rick waits for his test results, memories flood his mind. As a boy, he'd dreamed of being an adventurer, but the older he got, the more distant the dream became. He set it aside and began work at a Guild. Then, Rick met a certain S-rank adventurer.
5. Ossan, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party
Laurotte asks Rick if he can meet Orichalcum Fist. Rick agrees, but under certain conditions. After warming to Laurotte, Broughston asks him to gather intel to help the party reach their goal. A tip from him sends Rick and the others to a northern town.
6. The King of Fists Elimination Tournament
Rick and the others head to Heractopia to look for information on the Six Jewels. A parade for an upcoming tournament makes them realize that what they seek might be closer than they think, but there's only one way to know for sure. Enter the tournament!
7. Ossan, the Fastest Preliminaries Qualifier in History
Angelica, Rick, and Broughston all make it through the preliminaries, but the two men do it at an unheard of speed. Rick meets a tournament sponsor who says he's close to Angelica, but when Rick mentions him, Angelica's expression turns dark.
8. Scales of the Heart
Angelica tries to run from her brutal training. Rick empathizes and shares something Broughston once told him. After her training, Angelica faces her final block match. Will she break through the qualifiers? The King of Fists Tournament is about to begin.
9. The Perfect Prodigy, Born with Absolutely Everything
Angelica strikes at Geith using the techniques she's learned in her training. Rick and the others watch closely as she makes use of what they've taught her. Just when it looks like Angelica is about to win, Geith rallies. But Anglica isn't one to give up.
10. The Strongest Pugilist in History
The second semi-final match pits Kelvin against Broughston. Kelvin heads out of town to prepare. He spots Rick and presses him for a sparring match. After seeing Rick's skills, Kelvin opens up to Rick about his dreams and what his strength has cost him.
11. Fistfight on Equal Ground
When Rick learns who he'll face in the final match, he locks himself in his room in fear. Mizett tells Rick he's free to withdraw, but he might like to know Broughston's secret wish first. With that, and everyone's encouragement, Rick decides to fight.
12. Quarter Thumbs-Up
During the final match, Broughston tells Rick about his loneliness, the founding of Orichalcum Fist, and his longtime dream. Wanting to repay Broughston for the training that allowed him to fulfill his own dream, Rick makes a decision. It's time to fight!
