The story centers around Rick Gladiator, a man who starts pursuing the path of an adventurer well into his 30s.
Despite beginning his training much later than usual, Rick possesses the fighting capabilities of an S-rank adventurer.
He is rigorously trained by the legendary party ‘Orichalcum Fist,’ known for consisting of the continent’s strongest adventurers.
Synopsis
“Shinmai Ossan Boukensha” follows Rick Gladiator, a man in his 30s who turns from a guild clerk to an adventurer, challenging the norm that adventurers should be young.
Trained by the elite Orichalcum Fist, he achieves S-rank combat skills, flipping expectations and defeating elite adventurers in this exhilarating action-comedy.
Introducing the main characters
Rick Gladiator (リック・グラディアートル, Rikku Guradiātoru)
At 32, Rick Gladiator leaves his guild clerk job to become an adventurer, joining the elite S-rank party Orichalcum Fist.
After enduring two years of intense training, his weight triples, although he only appears slightly bulkier.
Despite the trauma of training, Rick is deeply grateful and trusts his party members.
Reanette Elfelt (リーネット・エルフェルト, Rīnetto Eruferuto)
A legendary half-dark elf known as the “Decisive Sword Princess,” famed for her record of 9,999 consecutive wins in underground arenas.
Now dressed as a maid, she manages all the household duties for the “Orichalcum Fist” party. She meets Rick due to certain circumstances and invites him to join the party.
Broughston Ashorc (ブロンストン・アッシュオーク, Buronsuton Asshuōku)
An uncommon figure among adventurers, he is an orc known as the “Sage Demon.” He currently leads the “Orichalcum Fist” and is revered as a mentor by Rick.
Despite his massive stature, he excels in support magic, including healing spells, and can even resurrect the dead shortly after their demise.
Mizett Eldwarf (ミゼット・エルドワーフ, Mizetto Erudowāfu)
He is a half-dwarf, half-elf who appears youthful but is actually over 50 years old. Working alone, he continues to develop weapons that are centuries ahead of the current technological capabilities of his world,
earning him the nickname “Millennium Workshop” due to rumors that he wields technology a thousand years advanced. He is also known for his fondness for women.
Alicerette Draqul (アリスレート・ドラクル, Arisurēto Dorakuru)
A pure-blooded vampire girl, known as the “Catastrophe Mage Child,” she is the continent’s most powerful genius attack magician.
She playfully unleashes powerful attack magic capable of gouging mountains and landscapes, and Rick has been killed repeatedly by her during training. Despite her appearance, she is a big eater.
