6 months pass and Luciel receives a letter from the Shurule Holy Church, signed by the Pope, informing him of his transfer to work at the Church. Brod uses his connections to ensure Botacouli can’t have Luciel attacked there. Everyone also takes an interest in Luciel’s love life; so far he hasn’t had a single lover despite being adored by the secretaries. Everyone unanimously agrees this is Brod and Grulga’s fault caused by Luciel’s packed training schedule and bad breath caused by Substance-X. The year finally ends and Luciel is promoted as a Rank A healer. He asks Brod to create a training course where novices learn from experienced adventurers and avoid the mistakes that leave them relying on healers like Botacouli. He also says goodbye to Nanaera and Monika who helped support him the last two years, and promises to return one day. Brod promotes him to a Rank E adventurer and gifts him a magic item storage bag and some money. Luciel finally departs with Bazan and his party volunteering to escort him safely.
