Rick Gladiator, a former clerk at an adventurer's guild, starts off on his adventuring career by enrolling in the adventurer's guild's preliminary examinations, despite being 32 years old. Due to his age, he is being underestimated, but people are later awed by the power he displayed. So much that it slighted a noble named Freed Diarmuit, who is also in the examinations. It eventually involved his sister Angelica, who is a knight second-class, equivalent to a B-rank. Angelica challenges Rick to a duel, where the loser becomes a servant to the winner forever. Using her special moves did little, combined with a few trip-ups due to the arena's uneven surface. She eventually lost when she was nearly smashed by Rick's crater-creating punch. As the results of the preliminary exam are about to be released, Reanette, his assistant, says that the rest of the party that trained him are coming to check on him, much to Rick's fright.

Rick passes the preliminary exam and is qualified to take the second phase, which is a mock battle. He later comes across Raster Diarmuit, an A-rank who is the eldest son of the House fo Diarmuit, who happens to be an examiner. The obnoxious prodigy of a royal with the strong stink of cologne hit on Reanette, but Rick stopped him by pretending he is her boyfriend (much to Reanette's joy), making him spare no time in mocking Rick but leaves him irritated. Things go up a notch when his siblings Freed and Angelica came to him crying and telling him about "the 40-ish oaf" that bullied them, and now wants to personally handle his examination. Supposedly, it is a B-ranked examiner named Links Laurotte who will handle the exams for those with numbers 4200 and above. He and Rick became quick friends when he finds out Links is also a late bloomer like him. Later, it was announced that, due to Links "suddenly getting ill", it is Raster who is taking over, sending Rick into a panic. All those examinees affected fear for "The F-Rank Crusher", causing Rick's confidence to plummet even more. But he gained it back with Reanette's pep talk. Just as he is ready to take the exam, a fortune teller (Freed in disguise) tricked Rick into sitting down on a chair with teleporting magic. He is teleported nearby, to where Raster's personal guards are waiting to dispatch him. However, they failed as Rick's trainers--all three other members of Orichalcum Fist--crashed the party and disposed of them. Meanwhile, Reanette--also a part of Orichalcum Fist--nearly took Freed's head off and asked where he has teleported Rick, who, just as Freed says he won't make it, makes it back. Rick also finds out later that Raster beat Links up to prevent him from becoming Rick's examiner. What ticked Rick off is Raster looking down on Links' dream of building a school for the kids in his home village. Raster finds out that his guards failed, and expected the arrival of a really fired-up Rick.
