Original subtitles

The winner is Rick Gladiatol!

The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible

He beat Geith!

That old dude is amazing!

Rick!

Truly, thank you so very much!

I haven't done anything worth thanking. I just won my bout, that's all.

I'll show you that I can reach that level in a year.

And, one day, I'll catch up to you too!

Everyone, give Rick Gladiatol a huge round of applause!

You're very calm.

Yes, I am. I'm surprised myself.

But perhaps I've wanted to see Geith be denied.

What do you mean?

To see Geith, who shattered my life as a pugilist with his talent, denied.

I have lost quite a lot, but, to be honest, I don't feel too bad.

He's talking about complicated things, isn't he?

Isn't he? You see, grown-ups have to deal with all sorts of things.

Though it is unfortunate that you won't be my wife.

You don't know when to give up.

Now that you can't gather the money to fulfill the contract,

it's like the talk of betrothal never happened.

What a shame that you weren't able to join the ranks of the nobility.

Indeed.

To welcome a lady as lovely as you as my wife, Angelica-san...

I was looking forward to that from the bottom of my heart.

What?

It is quite a shame indeed.

Episode 10

The Strongest Pugilist in History

How are you feeling?

I couldn't possibly feel any better.

You're a great pugilist.

Where's this coming from? Did you eat something weird or something?

So don't worry about anything. Just go give it everything you've got.

And now, the second match of the semi-finals!

The man who KO'd every opponent with one hit, Broughston Ashorc, versus...

the three-time champion, Kelvin Wolwolf!

That's an incredible amount of cheering.

That's a champion for you!

Welcome back.

This guy really is incredible.

He's just standing there, but there isn't a single opening.

And now, combatants, fight!

First, let's try a few things out!

Whoa! Amazing!

I'd expect no less of you, Broughston.

You are, without a doubt, the strongest opponent I've ever faced!

I'm honored.

What?!

Geith?!

Have the effects of the Dragon Ricorgen caused his dragon blood to run rampant?

Hey, you!

We're in the middle of a match. What do you think you're doing?

Huh. That was a heftier punch than I'd imagined.

Not bad. But...

It's not good to interfere in a match.

He knocked Geith out with one punch?

The feeling I got was that Geith's strength is that of a top-tier A-rank.

Yes. The champion may have already stepped foot...

into the realm of S-rank.

Everyone, our deepest apologies!

That incident has caused a number of injuries!

To prioritize response and treatment, we are rescheduling the match for tomorrow!

What? Well, I guess there's no other choice.

I feel like things were going well for me back there.

Do you think so? I see uncertainty in your strikes.

The only objective we have is the Six Jewels. Don't let this get you down.

Broughs-kun or Rikkun just need to win, right?

Speaking of which, where is Rick?

He's gone out jogging... to the Claristia territory.

It's 700 kilometers there and back.

Yes. At this moment, he should be near the kingdom's borders.

I'm not surprised by anything anymore.

That mountain...

reminds me of Reanette.

Doing some training?

Sorry to just pop out of nowhere. I heard a lot of noise.

You, huh?

And this used to be the perfect place, where no one bothered me.

The match is tomorrow. Aren't you worried about overworking your body?

Well, it got postponed. This is perfect.

How about you be my sparring partner for a bit?

I've got all this excess energy, you see?

Well, I guess I've got to help, then!

So this is Future Scenting?

All right. Let's do what we always do!

He's so fast!

It really is strange.

If you can dodge this, why did you get hit like that back in the tournament?

Could it be...

Huh?

Was your nose stuffed up or something?

No, it wasn't!

But you have good instincts.

With how strong you are, you might understand.

I grew up in the slums, and fighting was the thing I looked forward to the most,

but at some point, there wasn't anything I could call a fight anymore.

After I came to Heractopia, things were good, at first.

In the 107th tournament, a new champion, Kelvin Wolwolf, has been born!

This is bad.

This is just me winning over and over again.

Good. Good.

In the 108th King of Fists Tournament,

Kelvin Wolwolf succeeds in winning his second tournament in a row!

And what's more, in every match, he KO'd his opponents with a single blow in under a minute!

It ended up being the same here too.

Still...

if the owner's happy for me, then maybe it's not so bad.

Even in the arena fights, I couldn't get that rush anymore.

Getting stronger was the only thing left to look forward to.

so I threw all my heart into training.

Lately, the crowds at the matches haven't been good.

Well, when every match ends with a one-punch KO, you get tired of it.

So what are we supposed to do, huh?

Are you saying you want to make Kelvin throw some fights?

I would never say that!

But this could lead to a reduced interest in fighting matches in general.

If that happens, then our gym will—

If it happens, it happens. It doesn't bother me.

The 109th King of Fists Tournament reaches the finals at last!

If it causes problems for the owner, I don't need to stay champion. But...

He's so slow.

I could still dodge it.

No, that's right. I shouldn't dodge here.

Kelvin!

What's this?! Kelvin Wolwolf is down!

They sure are having fun.

That's right. This is for the best.

Yeah!

The champion can be beaten!

The undefeated champion has been beaten in a huge upset!

From the next tournament onward, I played a fighter with good days and bad days.

I tailored it so that the crowds would love the matches and still won three times in a row.

And that's why I can't take a fight seriously.

If I fight so that the matches are exciting, they draw crowds.

And the gym prospers, too.

You may think the whole situation is ridiculous, though.

The strongest really do have it tough.

Huh? You're one to talk.

But I don't think you'll be able to talk like that after tomorrow.

I'm being serious here.

Were you even listening to me?

I think it'll probably be fine! Bye, then!

The Ossan Newbie Adventurer, Trained to Death by the Most Powerful Party, Became Invincible

Sorry to keep you waiting!

The second semi-final match which was postponed yesterday will now restart!

Broughston-sama!

Yeah!

Today, for safety reasons, defensive magic has been cast over the spectators seating.

Everyone, please watch the fight without any worry!

Well, we get a fresh start. Let's have some fun.

And now, combatants, fight!

Take this!

Rolling Fang!

He rotated his arm at high speed to increase the force of the blow.

That will blow a person's guard aside, too!

If it can knock senpai's hand away, it must be really powerful!

This is it!

No, this is...

You're a beast.

Though you say that, you are unchanged from yesterday.

I might even say that you are slacking in your fighting.

Did that guy say something?

I had heard that the champion is a professional pugilist.

I see.

For the sake of the spectators gathered here,

you must intentionally limit your strength as you fight.

Your assessment is largely correct.

What is that?

What are they talking about?

Your strength is the real thing.

And that's why if I fight seriously here, everything I've done until now will get exposed.

I see. I understand the general gist.

A pro that deceives the fans? Makes you sick to hear it, right?

No. You are putting the spectators ahead of yourself.

One might say that that is how all pros should behave.

Though it is unfortunate that I will not be able to fight you at full strength.

Sorry. Thanks for understanding.

In which case, I shall answer with appropriate strength.

I will fight using just these two fingers.

What did you say?

And I shall not move one step from this spot.

This should allow for us to have a reasonably good match.

Well, it's not like I can tell you to quit messing around, right?

That works for me!

He's seriously blocking me!

Rolling Fang!

What?!

He's planning to pressure me just enough that it looks like a good fight, huh?

Broughs-kun is doing some interesting stuff.

Yeah. He's proper clever, y'know?

Kelvin! Kelvin! Kelvin!

If we were fighting for real, this would be even more fun, wouldn't it?

Giving up the chance to have it out with a guy this strong...

I wish it was different.

I have a ton of things I want to test out in a fight.

You moron!

I can see right through you, Kelvin!

You're only pretending to fight for real! Did you really think I'd miss that?

What is it that you misunderstood? Why are you fighting?

I just wanted you to...

My dream is to train up the strongest pugilist in history!

I've staked my whole life on that dream!

I want you to become the strongest, Kelvin Wolwolf!

Are you sure? Is it really all right?

My dream and what you want to do are the same thing.

You should do what you want to do.

You're really not cut out for business.

In that case...

I'm gonna fight to my heart's content!

This is crazy. I'm so happy, it's amazing.

I can't believe I can fight for real!

So there is no need for acting anymore?

That's right! Sorry to keep you waiting.

Starting now, I'm going all out.

You're using all five fingers there.

Was that by accident?

No. I merely blocked using the appropriate strength.

Rolling Fang!

You're wide open!

Iron Body!

Oh. That's magnificent.

Broughston, you're the best!

This is too incredible.

It's on a completely different level from battles up to now.

Which means...

He's been slacking up to now?

He's been tricking us!

What? That's not how a champion should behave!

What a letdown.

I can't go back now.

So I'll take this all the way.

Surge, O ruined fires of justice,

burn the dam to ashes.

Level-Five Nature Composed Magic...

Flame Wave!

The dog peoples aren't supposed to be very good with nature composed magic!

He must have trained for years, pushing himself beyond his limits!

The physique he was blessed with, the talent he was born with...

the strength and techniques he's honed...

He's on the same level as my senpais... a true prodigy!

Has Kelvin always been able to use magic like that?

I didn't know about this either.

Flickering Feet!

Forceful Fist!

Lay hold, O denizens of the darkest green,

lure travelers into its depths,

and listen to the pulse of the forest!

Level-Seven Nature Composed Magic...

Forest Rope!

Now that's a champion!

This is... not good!

What?

Lance down, Dubhe, sacred messenger of good fortune.

Pierce the earth, defiled by the works of humans.

Carve that sorrow into the land!

Hey, he's not half bad!

Right?

Indeed.

Level-Eight Nature Composed Magic...

Eight?!

Hey now...

What is that?!

Angel's Tear!

Are you serious?

What is all this?

We should run, right?

Oh, this is bad. This is legitimately really bad!

It is quite shocking, but this isn't like you!

How can I not be scared?!

The champion is far stronger than I'd imagined!

That means that senpai will also...

stop holding back!

Yes. It shouldn't be a problem for you, I think.

That was Level-Eight Nature Composed Magic... and he used brute strength?

Your convictions, wanting to fight to the absolute limits of your strength...

They have reached me in full.

Which means...

that I shall answer with my own convictions.

That's a quarter thumbs-up!

A quarter thumbs-up?

A tradition seen in orc battles.

It's a declaration that they will abandon evasion and defense to simply exchange blows.

Which means that from now on, Broughston-senpai...

will focus completely on attacking!

What is this? I've never felt this before.

Could this be... terror?

He's so fast, my sense of smell doesn't work!

That was just from the shockwave of a punch thrown with a strengthened arm?

I can't believe it.

Rick, is Broughston—The nothingness of complete resignation?!

B-Blast it!

Level-Seven Nature Composed Magic...

Flame Sword!

Storm Javelin!

Lightning Axe!

Curse him. He hasn't even blinked!

He can't have much magic left.

After casting such powerful spells one after another, of course not!

A direct hit?

No. He used Flowing Strikes, Flickering Feet,

and defense magic all at once to soften the blow.

I'm amazed you could see all that.

My bones and organs are messed up pretty badly.

This guy's really extreme. Anyone else would be dead right now.

If I gave up, I could rest,

but I've been wishing for a strong opponent like this one.

This is the real fight I've been longing for!

Get up! Get on your feet! I am...

I'm not done yet!

I've run out of magic, but I still have strength left!

But with that amount of damage, his physical strength will also...

There are guys as strong as this out there in the world?

You can do it, Kelvin!

Stand up, champion!

Don't let him beat you!

You've still got fight in you!

Kelvin, you can do it!

Get up!

Please!

Kelvin! Kelvin! Kelvin! Kelvin! Kelvin!

Everyone, even after I've deceived you all this time...

Kelvin!

This cheering is incredible!

One more punch! Just one more punch!

If you're out of magic and strength, then chisel away your spirit for fuel!

The foot position for Flickering Feet and the strengthening for Forceful Fist!

And Rolling Fang wrapped in Flaming Sword!

Nature Composed Spiral Fist

Yes. Well done.

Have you used every last drop of your strength, Kelvin Wolwolf?

Yeah.

That's the most fun I've had in my life.

In honor of your magnificent fight, I bestow my greatest respect!

It seems it's still a long road to becoming the strongest pugilist in history,

but you are the greatest pugilist in history!
