[00:01] Brod
    If there were more healers like you, kid,
[00:04] Brod
    the world might be a better place.
[00:08] Luciel
    I feel like he's getting
    a little ahead of himself.
[00:13] Brod
    I'm going to prohibit you from
    leaving during your training.
[00:18] Brod
    You good with that?
[00:19] Luciel
    What?!
[00:21] Luciel
    So basically, I'll be trapped here
    until I complete my training?
SIGN    Mad Dash
[00:24] Luciel
    But it's not like I have anywhere
    else to train if I turn him down...
[00:30] Luciel
    C-Can we make it a one-month commitment?
[00:34] Brod
    Fine by me.
[00:36] Brod
    I want you to realize
    how useful you are here.
[00:39] Luciel
    Then please work with me
    for the next month.
[00:42] Brod
    You got it. For a month, I'll work you hard
    until you're really ready to train.
[00:48] Luciel
    Yes, sir!
[00:49] Luciel
    Er, is it okay to make this kind of deal?
[00:53] Luciel
    Won't the guild master be upset?
[00:55] Brod
    Nah. I've got plenty of authority
    around here. Don't sweat it.
[00:59] Luciel
    For real?!
[01:01] Luciel
    I get martial arts training
    and three meals a day?
[01:04] Luciel
    And there's a good chance my
    other skills will increase, too!
[01:10] Monster Luck-sensei
    Ya did it, my boy!
[01:12] Luciel
    This must be the work
    of Monster Luck-sensei!
[01:16] Brod
    Hmm?

[02:54] Luciel
    Yeesh!
[02:56] Luciel
    That's so cold!
[02:57] Brod
    Here. Get changed.
[02:59] Brod
    Once you're dressed, come to the cafeteria.
[03:01] Luciel
    Y-Yes, sir.
[03:05] Luciel
    Phew.
[03:06] Luciel
    But what about my old clothes?
[03:12] Luciel
    Gross!
[03:14] Luciel
    Nanaella-san!
[03:16] Nanaella
    Good work today!
[03:18] Nanaella
    Thank you for treating those adventurers.
[03:22] Luciel
    Oh, no need to thank me for that.
[03:25] Luciel
    Anyway, what's up, Nanaella-san?
[03:27] Nanaella
    Brod-san asked me to come.
[03:30] Nanaella
    He told me to wash your
    clothes, Luciel-sama.
[03:33] Luciel
    What a treat!
[03:36] Luciel
    No, no! I can't let you do that!
[03:38] Nanaella
    Huh?
[03:40] Nanaella
    You don't want beastfolk touching your things?
[03:43] Luciel
    No, that's not it! It actually
    makes me really happy!
[03:47] Luciel
    But I can't let someone as pretty
    as you do that for me, Nanaella-san.
[03:58] Nanaella
    It's okay! Just leave it to me!
[04:00] Luciel
    B-But it smells so sweaty...
[04:03] Nanaella
    I'll hang it up with the rest of
    the guild laundry tomorrow, okay?
[04:07] Luciel
    U-Uh, I, um...
[04:10] Luciel
    Thank you very much!
[04:12] Nanaella
    Of course!
[04:14] Luciel
    Um, if there's anything I can
    do in return, please let me know.
[04:20] Nanaella
    I'll take care of this!
[04:21] Nanaella
    Take care of this... Take care of this...
[04:24] Luciel
    I'll find a way to thank you someday.
[04:28] Adventurer 1
    Can I get one more?
[04:30] Adventurer 2
    Hey, how'd today go?
[04:31] Adventurer 3
    It was a disaster!
[04:33] Adventurer ?
    C'mon, have another drink!
[04:35] Brod
    Kid!
[04:36] Brod
    Hey. Over here.
[04:38] Luciel
    Y-Yes, sir!
[04:42] Luciel
    This reminds me of office get-togethers.
[04:50] Luciel
    Is there going to be a party?
[04:52] Brod
    This is all for you to eat.
[04:54] Luciel
    Huh?! All by myself?
[04:56] Brod
    You can take your time, but finish it off.
[05:00] Brod
    When you're done,
    come back to the basement.
[05:03] Luciel
    I guess this is part of my training...
[05:07] Luciel
    Thanks for the food!
[05:16] Luciel
    Oh, yum!
[05:24] Luciel
    Now that was a meal!
[05:29] Brod
    Starting today, you can use this room.
[05:31] Brod
    Be sure to get enough rest.
[05:33] Luciel
    U-Um...
[05:35] Luciel
    Will there be others who need healing?
[05:38] Brod
    Yeah. But starting tomorrow,
    you're gonna be busy.
[05:42] Luciel
    Okay!
[05:45] Luciel
    In that case, I'll get
    plenty of sleep for tomorrow.
[05:48] Luciel
    Good night!
[05:55] Luciel
    I'm not sleepy at all yet!
[05:57] Luciel
    What time is it even?
[05:59] Luciel
    J-Just seven o'clock?! How could any
    modern man go to bed this early?!
[06:07] Luciel
    Since I can't sleep anyway,
[06:09] Luciel
    maybe I should work on mastering
    my skills to boost my levels.
[06:13] Luciel
    Okay! Time for a late shift!
[06:16] Luciel
    Stretch, stretch.
[06:19] Luciel
    Heal.
SIGN    Meditation
[06:22] Luciel
    Stretch, stretch.
[06:24] Luciel
    Heal.
[06:28] Brod
    Wake up! It's chow time!
[06:32] Brod
    During your training, you'll take meals
    here in the cafeteria, just like yesterday.
[06:36] Luciel
    Yes, sir!
[06:38] Brod
    Hey, Gulgar. This is Luciel.
[06:41] Gulgar
    Oh, so you're the one.
SIGN    Gulgar
[06:43] Gulgar
    I'm Gulgar.
[06:45] Gulgar
    My cooking is the best!
[06:48] Luciel
    A bear?!
[06:49] Luciel
    Pleased to meet you.
    Thanks for looking after me.
[06:52] Gulgar
    Yeah! Nice to meet ya.
[06:54] Luciel
    F-Forgive me for asking,
    but what's your race?
[06:59] Gulgar
    As you can see, I'm a proud wolffolk!
[07:03] Luciel
    I've been tricked!
[07:06] Gulgar
    Anyhow, this drink is disgusting,
[07:10] Gulgar
    but the Sage of Time created it
    and it's great for you.
[07:14] Luciel
    That color sure doesn't look good for you.
[07:17] Gulgar
    Drinking it makes your
    muscle strength, endurance,
SIGN    MUSCLE
SIGN    ENDURANCE
SIGN    REACTION TIME
[07:21] Gulgar
    reaction time, and other things
    easier to improve.
[07:24] Gulgar
    The effect lasts...
[07:25] Gulgar
    for six hours.
[07:26] Luciel
    Wait, what? It's a cheat item!
[07:29] Gulgar
    The only hitch is it tastes like crap.
[07:32] Gulgar
    That's why nobody else wants
    to drink it to get stronger.
[07:34] Adventurer 1
    He's gonna make him drink it!
[07:39] Luciel
    Is it really safe to consume?
[07:41] Luciel
    Judging by the color,
    it looks like it'll wreck my guts.
[07:45] Luciel
    And why's it moving like that?!
[07:47] Luciel
    Still, it's a cheat item...
[07:51] Luciel
    Th-The stench is gonna rot my nose off!
[07:54] Luciel
    But if just drinking this
    makes me stronger...
[07:58] Luciel
    I, Luciel, shall drink.
[08:07] Luciel
    Oh yeah, that's bad.
[08:10] Luciel
    The slimy feel it leaves on my tongue...
[08:12] Luciel
    The bitter, tangy mix with spicy
    and sour flavors ravaging my mouth...
[08:18] Luciel
    I know exactly what this is.
[08:20] Luciel
    Substance X!
[08:22] Luciel
    X... X... X...
SIGN    I want to spit it out...
[08:31] Luciel
    I want to spit it out immediately.
[08:33] Luciel
    To wash out the inside
    of my mouth with pure water
[08:37] Luciel
    and inhale fresh, clean air.
[08:40] Luciel
    But the bear in front of me is
    too scary. I can't spit it out.
[08:44] Luciel
    If I lose focus even a little,
    I'll black out.
[08:48] Luciel
    I'll just have to chug it!
[08:59] Gulgar
    Holy...
[09:02] Gulgar
    Whoa!
[09:04] Brod
    He drank that crap?
[09:06] Luciel
    I downed the whole thing...
[09:10] Luciel
    M-My body feels like it's
    overflowing with energy!
[09:15] Luciel
    Whoa!
[09:18] Luciel
    Whoa, whoa, whoa!
[09:20] Luciel
    Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa... X!
[09:24] Gulgar
    Enough already.
[09:25] Gulgar
    Now eat that meat and go join Brod.
[09:27] Luciel
    Yes, sir!
[09:37] Gulgar
    I never thought he'd polish this off.
[09:40] Gulgar
    Gross!
[09:42] Gulgar
    Sheesh. This guy's got some guts.
[09:47] Luciel
    And now, it's been nearly a week
    since I came to the Adventurers' Guild.
[10:00] Brod
    You done already? Do you want to die?
[10:03] Luciel
    Please keep teaching me, Instructor Brod!
[10:07] Brod
    All right. Very well.
[10:09] Brod
    Let's keep going!
[10:11] Luciel
    Why does he look so happy?!
[10:15] Brod
    Don't let your mind go blank
    while defending!
[10:18] Brod
    There's purpose behind each attack!
[10:20] Brod
    Watch closely, think, and learn
[10:22] Brod
    like your life depends on it!
[10:28] Luciel
    My life, huh?
[10:30] Luciel
    When I listen to the instructor's
    abuse... I mean, advice,
[10:34] Luciel
    I actually feel like
    I can give this all I've got.
[10:38] Luciel
    He's so great.
[10:45] Luciel
    Obviously, I'm still an absolute beginner
    with a mere week of experience.
[10:50] Luciel
    The best I can do right now is
    keep this up and try to learn.
[10:56] Luciel
    Instructor Brod,
[10:58] Luciel
    please let me try that again!
[11:00] Brod
    Huh?
[11:01] Brod
    K-Kid... forcing a smile while you're
    in that much pain is really creepy.
[11:05] Luciel
    Laughing helps loosen me up.
[11:09] Luciel
    But I promise that I will
    eventually land an attack!
[11:12] Brod
    Oh? Looks like you still have
    enough energy to talk trash.
[11:17] Brod
    Fine with me. I'll work you
    down to the bone today!
[11:23] Luciel
    Oh no! I feel like I just
    opened the gates of hell!
[11:27] Cat Woman
    Excuse me.
[11:30] Cat Woman
    I heard that you heal people here.
    Is it really for free?
[11:34] Luciel
    A catfolk person!
[11:37] Luciel
    It is. I'll treat you at no charge.
[11:39] Luciel
    Where are you injured?
[11:42] Cat Woman
    I was bit on the back by a wererat.
[11:50] Luciel
    I can close the wound with a heal spell,
[11:53] Luciel
    but since you were bitten,
    this could lead to the spread of disease.
[11:57] Luciel
    If you start to feel ill,
    please visit a doctor.
[12:01] Luciel
    For now, I'll treat you.
[12:03] Cat Woman
    Okay.
[12:04] Luciel
    O Lord, I offer up my magic
    so that I may mend this wound.
[12:09] Luciel
    Heal!
[12:18] Luciel
    Okay! That should do it.
[12:28] Luciel
    Wait, what?
[12:30] Luciel
    Did I say something wrong?
[12:32] Adventurer 1
    Hey, healer.
[12:35] Luciel
    Yes? No, I wasn't teasing her!
[12:37] Adventurer 1
    What's your name?
[12:39] Luciel
    I-I'm Luciel.
[12:42] Adventurer 1
    Looks like you'll use your magic
    even on us beastfolk, Luciel.
[12:50] Luciel
    Humans and beastfolk alike,
    you're all patients to me.
[12:54] Adventurer 1
    Luciel, you're a pretty good guy.
[12:58] Adventurer 1
    Can we come back if we get injured again?
[13:01] Luciel
    Yeah. Anytime.
[13:03] Cat Woman
    Luciel!
[13:05] Cat Woman
    Thank you!
[13:08] Cat Woman
    I'll come see you if I get hurt again!
[13:10] Luciel
    S-Sure!
[13:17] Adventurer 1
    Still, I can't believe you're doing it.
[13:19] Luciel
    What?
[13:20] Adventurer 1
    You know, training.
[13:21] Adventurer 1
    That dude turns into
    a totally different person.
[13:24] Luciel
    I guess.
[13:26] Adventurer 1
    We adventurers all avoid
    training with Brod-san.
[13:31] Luciel
    Why couldn't someone
    have told me that sooner?
[13:36] Luciel
    Thank you for the meal!
[13:38] Gulgar
    Now then,
[13:39] Gulgar
    you want to get strong quickly, right?
[13:42] Luciel
    There it is! Substance X!
[13:45] Luciel
    "Disgusting" doesn't even begin to cover it.
[13:49] Luciel
    Even if it makes me stronger, I wish
    they'd give me a break with that stuff.
[13:55] Luciel
    What was that all about?
[13:57] Luciel
    Huh?
[14:00] Luciel
    Hmm?!
[14:05] Luciel
    I feel like I'm being watched.
[14:09] Luciel
    I train from seven in the morning
    to seven at night.
[14:13] Luciel
    I have three huge meals a day.
[14:15] Luciel
    Then at night, I practice
    my magic control and handling.
[14:20] Luciel
    I'm getting used to this routine.
[14:23] Luciel
    With assess mastery, I can tell
     I'm actually improving.
[14:27] Luciel
    This might actually be a pretty
    fulfilling lifestyle for me.
[14:33] Luciel
    But still... why were
    those people watching me?
[14:44] Brod
    What'd you want to talk about, kid?
[14:46] Luciel
    It feels like a bunch of people
    are watching me recently.
[14:51] Luciel
    Huh?
[14:57] Luciel
    So you two were behind it after all!
[14:59] Luciel
    Why am I under surveillance?
[15:02] Brod
    Sorry! Everyone's worried
    you might run away.
[15:07] Luciel
    Run away?
[15:09] Brod
    Most people trying to become
    adventurers weren't born into wealth.
[15:13] Brod
    So they take on risky requests
    and pay the price.
[15:18] Brod
    But even though they get hurt,
    without any money to live on,
[15:22] Brod
    they keep forcing themselves
    to take on dangerous requests.
[15:27] Luciel
    I get it.
[15:29] Luciel
    As long as I'm here, they
    can get their injuries treated
[15:33] Luciel
    and go right back out to work.
[15:36] Luciel
    Without realizing it, the adventurers'
    fate has been left in my hands.
[15:43] Luciel
    Anyway, I agreed to stay for a month,
[15:47] Luciel
    so until that's up, give me some credit
    and call off the watch.
[15:52] Brod
    Very well.
[15:53] Luciel
    I'm being serious here, okay?
[15:55] Luciel
    The next time I catch someone watching me,
[15:58] Luciel
    I'll drag them here and make them
    drink that with me, got it?
[16:06] Luciel
    Of course, since you're in charge,
    I'll make you drink it too, Brod.
[16:11] Luciel
    And so, the month started flying by.
[16:15] Luciel
    Though something interesting happened...
[16:19] Cat Woman
    Meow, Luciel!
[16:21] Cat Woman
    Thanks for healing me before.
    I'll be counting on you next time too.
[16:24] Luciel
    Sure! No problem.
[16:26] Luciel
    More people have started talking to me.
[16:29] Luciel
    I hope this helps me get
    accustomed to adventurers.
[16:34] Luciel
    Then there's my all-important training.
[16:41] Luciel
    I've started doing more target practice.
[16:43] Brod
    Kid! Get serious about this!
[16:45] Luciel
    Yes, sir!
[16:47] Luciel
    I thought my baseball
    experience would pay off,
[16:50] Luciel
    but at this rate, I have to wonder when
    he'll let me throw real weapons.
[16:56] Luciel
    Yup. It's dawned on me that
    even when my month is up,
[16:59] Luciel
    I still won't have mastered anything.
[17:03] Luciel
    Realistically, I have a long way to go
    before I'm fit for fighting outside.
[17:08] Luciel
    But I've made up my mind... for now...
[17:11] Luciel
    For now, patience can cook a stone!
[17:13] Brod
    What the hell are you excited for?!
[17:15] Brod
    You missed every single one!
[17:17] Luciel
    I got one, though!
[17:18] Brod
    Don't you talk back to me!
[17:19] Luciel
    Sir!
[17:23] Luciel
    My portions of Substance X got bigger,
[17:27] Luciel
    I got more healing requests...
[17:30] Luciel
    And the last day of my contract finally came.
[17:33] Brod
    You really worked hard this month.
[17:36] Luciel
    Under your guidance.
    Thank you so much for everything.
[17:39] Luciel
    Now I'll go back to the Healers'
    Guild to look for work.
[17:42] Luciel
    When I've saved up enough money,
    please train me again.
[17:44] Brod
    Money?
[17:46] Brod
    That's right.
    You said you were basically broke.
[17:49] Luciel
    That's right. I have to pay my offering
    to the Healers' Guild.
[17:54] Brod
    What would you do if you did have money?
[17:56] Luciel
    What?
[17:57] Brod
    For example, if someone gave you
    the money for a year's offering?
[18:02] Luciel
    I don't know...
[18:05] Luciel
    If it'd be all right,
    I'd like to train with you more.
[18:10] Brod
    This is for making it through a month of
    training and saving those adventurers' lives.
[18:15] Brod
    A reward!
[18:17] Brod
    Take it.
[18:18] Luciel
    Yes... sir.
[18:22] Luciel
    Huh? This much?!
[18:24] Brod
    Twelve silver coins.
    Use that and go pay your offering.
[18:30] Brod
    Thanks to you, the death rate
    for adventurers has dropped sharply.
[18:35] Brod
    Consider it a special bonus.
[18:37] Luciel
    But this is a lot of money, isn't it?
[18:40] Luciel
    I can't possibly accept...
[18:41] Brod
    Just take it.
[18:44] Brod
    Your martial arts skill is still infantile.
[18:47] Brod
    So starting today, you'll keep on training.
[18:51] Brod
    If you're on board, then go pay up.
[18:56] Luciel
    Understood.
[18:58] Luciel
    I'll gladly accept this and pay my fees.
[19:01] Adventurer 2
    Be sure to come back, okay?
[19:03] Adventurer 4
    We'll be waiting for you, Luciel.
[19:06] Luciel
    Yeah! I'll definitely be back!
[19:12] Monika
    That will cover your offering for one year.
[19:15] Monika
    But are you sure about doing this?
[19:18] Monika
    If you get promoted within the year,
    you'll be assessed an additional offering.
[19:25] Luciel
    I'm sure.
[19:27] Luciel
    For now, instead of ranking up,
[19:29] Luciel
    I need to focus on becoming strong
    enough to become independent.
[19:32] Monika
    Well, it certainly does take
    a lot of funds to open a clinic.
[19:37] Luciel
    When I've earned enough,
    I'll come for my promotion.
[19:40] Monika
    All right. Keep up the good work, okay?
[19:49] Brod
    I'm glad you came back.
[19:51] Luciel
    Um, were you waiting here for me?
[19:57] Brod
    I-I just happened to be passing through.
[20:01] Brod
    Nanaella, do you have
    the kid's adventurer card?
[20:04] Nanaella
    Yes, right here.
[20:06] Brod
    Renew it for me.
[20:07] Nanaella
    Understood!
[20:10] Luciel
    Don't you need my permission to do that?!

[20:32] Luciel
    Today's training felt even harder than usual.
[20:36] Brod
    Hey, kid.
[20:37] Luciel
    Yes?
[20:38] Brod
    This is for you.
[20:42] Luciel
    Encyclopedia of Low-Level Holy Magic?
[20:46] Luciel
    Is this a spell tome?
[20:47] Gulgar
    Yup.
[20:48] Brod
    A treat for coming home on time.
[20:51] Luciel
    Do you think I'm a child?
[20:54] Brod
    Healers need the recovery spell heal
    and the detoxification spell cure.
[20:58] Brod
    Once you can cast both, you'll be
    on your way to becoming the real deal.
[21:01] Brod
    You can only use heal now, can't you?
[21:04] Brod
    So read that book and study up.
[21:15] Brod
    What's so damn funny?!
[21:16] Luciel
    Wha—? Is Brod actually
    a sweetie underneath it all?
[21:24] Luciel
    Instructor, thank you very much.
[21:27] Luciel
    Starting again today, I will try
    my very best, so please train me more!

[21:35] Gulgar
    If you're gonna work your hardest,
    drink up beforehand!

[21:40] Brod
    Finish that off and let's
    get to afternoon training!
[21:43] Luciel
    Come drink it with me, Instructor Brod!
[21:45] Brod
    I don't need it.
    I'll be waiting for you!

    Hey, guys! What did you think of my cooking?
[23:57] Gulgar
    Mountains of delicious grub!
    Sounds like a dream, right?
[24:00] Gulgar
    Luciel even drank that...
