Driven by a longing to realize his bright childhood dreams, thirty‑year‑old Rick Gladiatol, a modest clerk in the adventurers' guild, is granted an exceptional opportunity after he fortuitously meets dark elf Reanette Elfelt. Reanette, a top member of the legendary Orichalcum Fist, accepts Rick on the condition that he undergoes Spartan training and endure rigorous combat drills.
After two years, Rick finally feels prepared to sit for the E‑Rank examination, which officially certifies him as a licensed adventurer. Yet magical aptitude peaks by age twenty, so he confronts widespread skepticism from other candidates and judges alike. Undeterred, Rick must prove that his harsh training has forged him into an unbeatable fighter in the eyes of veterans and skeptical guild masters.
