Luciel begins healing but runs out of magic due to inexperience and faints, resulting in one adventurer dying. Though the others all thank him he blames himself for the death. At the Adventurers Guild he strikes a deal with secretary Nanaera and guild master Brod to provide healing to adventurers in exchange for martial arts training and wages of 1 silver a day. Brod’s brutal training involves improving his stamina, flexibility and strength which Luciel endures only through sheer stubbornness. Brod eventually shares that the Adventurers Guild is on the decline thanks to the Healers Guild; experienced adventurers are forced to retire due to crippling injuries, novice adventurers are forced to go on quests without adequate training and either die or return with injuries they can’t afford to have healed, preventing them earning money until they heal naturally. Sickened by this Luciel swears to heal anyone who needs him for free. Straight away more injured adventures arrive who are surprised when Luciel heals them free of charge. Brod decides to change their deal; if Luciel continues healing for free he can live at the guild, receive wages and meals and be trained in martial arts by Brod every day.
