Season 1

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.

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. The King of Fists Tournament is about to begin.

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, her expression turns dark.

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.

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.

As Rick waits for his exams 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.

Rick begins his mock battle with the F-rank Crusher, Raster Diarmut. He thinks the gap in ability between him and Rick is all too clear. But as the battle progresses, Rick's training begins to show through.

As Rick awaits his exam results, Raster, an examiner for the upcoming section, appears. Rick stops him from hitting on Reanette and earns Raster's hatred. Raster isn't one to be thwarted, and he isn't called the F-rank Crusher for nothing.

Rick Gladiator becomes an adventurer at the age of 30. After 2 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.
