'A healer's guild, huh? Why does it feel like the Adventurer's Guild already feels like home when you're also a healer by profession?
　After leaving the Adventurer's Guild, I arrived at the Healer's Guild immediately.

　I opened the door, but there were no people in place like before, and there was no "welcome".

　Well, it's not like I'm in any trouble, so that's fine. I went to the counter and called out to the receptionist.
'Excuse me. I'm sorry, but you're a healer, aren't you? You're Krull-san, right? It's been a while.
You're the guy who signed up a year ago, right? "Yes, I'm Luciel. It's you, isn't it, Luciel? How are you? I mean, aren't you getting fitter?
Yes, sir. I've been doing some training. Well, I'm fine now.
　I made a power hump.

'Oh, I see. What healing center do you work in now?
Well, you don't work at the Healing Institute.
'What? So, maybe you haven't gone to a treatment center since then?
''Yes. I was training in the Adventurer's Guild while living at the request of the Adventurer's Guild.
Oh, really? I mean, what's the point of being a healer then?
'Hahaha. If there's someone to protect me with a little money, that's fine, but the world isn't that sweet. My motto is to never die. For that reason, I've been working hard this past year to hone my self-defense skills.
Wow, you really are an odd one, aren't you? Well, it's okay. When you renew your card, I'll check your holy magic skill level. The level determines what rank you should be upgraded to.
Now, please.
''When you get your rank, I'll get your offering and give you the magic book. Then give me your card.
Yes, sir.
　I hand over the card honestly.
'Then let's see if you've made a proper effort, Luciel...? Hey, hey, Luciel, what's going on with you?
'What? Is there a problem?
You're right. What kind of crazy training have you been doing? No, explain what kind of life you've lived.
　Huh? Scary! What's with Mr. Krull's kind of awesome swordplay?

'Mr. Krull, your face is a little scary. Your beautiful face is ruined. I'll tell you a story, please calm down.
　His voice brought him to his senses, and he cleared his throat with a cough, "So? He looks at me with a tremendous amount of intimidation.
"First, after I learn to heel in this chapter...
　Thus, I told him the story of my year.

　When I had finished telling everything, Krull-san asked me in a voice without intonation.
'Are you a pervert, Luciel?' And.

'Isn't it terrible? I just don't want to die, and I've only created such a perfect environment as a healer where I can hone my healing magic skills.
But there are treatment centers, you know. You might be a workhorse at first, but you can make connections.
Of course you do. But as a healer, what you need is the number of treatments. So not everyone can become a full-fledged professional right away, right? And I think there's a difference between treating someone because you want money and getting paid for treatment after you've convinced them to do so. What I wanted this past year was the ability to defend myself. Because money can't buy this.
I... I know. I'm sorry.
Oh, I'm sorry to be the one acting so high and mighty. And just so you know, I don't think I'm a dominant or perverted person. I just don't want to die.
　I smiled.

'Luciel, you have such high aspirations. Even though Lady Lumina brought you here, you're so decent, you startled me.
　Then he chuckled.
　This means that the only girl Lumina-sama has ever brought in has been an unusual one... right?　
　It's okay for Lumina to be dissed, but I'm a victim... right? If he was identified as a changed child from last year?

'Speaking of which, I never got to meet Lady Lumina after that?
Oh, Master Lumina is no longer in this city. She went back to the church headquarters in the Holy City long ago.
The Holy City's church headquarters, was Master Lumina an elite?
Yeah. Well, so for the time being, I don't think we'll see you unless you work hard and try your hardest. Now, let's see, I can get you up to a C-grade, but how high do you want to go?
'Can't you just buy the book of magic first?
I can sell it. ''You can sell them, but there's a clause. The price is set at ten times the normal price when you sell a spellbook that hasn't reached that rank. So I wouldn't recommend it. The high priced magic books cost more than ten times the offering, so it's usually not possible.
''Now, what kind of magic books will you be able to buy at each rank?
"F for poison, paralysis and sleep anomaly recovery magic, E for mid-range recovery magic, D for warding magic, and C for multiple recovery magic.
"Okay. So how much does it cost to get E, D and C?
One gold and twenty-four silver, but that's a C-grade, so that's about 90 silver.
"Wow, that's not even close. 'DON'T'
Here's your paycheck. There's a gold and 31 silver coins in it.
　The man who put the leather bag down was Instructor Brod.

'Huh? Why is Instructor Brod here?
Yeah. That's because you forgot to give me my reward. Hey, little girl. This guy, send Luciel to the Adventurer's Guild for one year for a gold coin. I'll pay his salary.
Well, who are you?
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm Brod from the Adventurers' Guild. You can get through to the guildmaster here by telling him that Brod told me so.
　Krull-san is looking at us with concern.
''Well, Krull-san, this person is Brod-san, and he is my martial arts master, so it's okay because he's not a shady person and he's not threatened. But still, what's a dispatch?
'Luciel, I'm officially sending you to the Adventurer's Guild to be stationed there.
"...Well, I haven't been able to hit my instructor yet, so I'm okay with that?
Are you okay? Are you sure?
I'm a little glad that Krull heard me whisper and sound concerned.

''It's okay. I'm not being threatened, and as I said before, I'm a martial arts master. I'll even take dispatches.''

"...Okay. I'll accept it then. Once you get your renewal fee for one year, you'll have to work hard to earn it until next year.
Thank you for your advice.
　Then the formalities of loaning me to the Adventurers' Guild were done.
　Then we left the Healers' Guild.

　As soon as we left the Healers' Guild, I spoke to Instructor Brod.
"But you surprise me, Instructor Brod.
"Thanks to my combat training with Luciel, my body art is at level VIII. I'm going to teach you everything I know, while also learning the work of the guild. Oh, and make sure you study holy attribute magic as well.
　Instructor Brod laughed with a hint of a smile.

　I left and returned to the Adventurer's Guild less than an hour later, much teased by everyone.

　He then moved to my room.
''You totally own this place,''
　The tag for the nap room was removed and hung with the room of Luciel the Healer and the tag.
　The room, which had been filled with personal belongings, was now completely my private room.

　The room was tidied up, a new desk and chair, a new bed, and a new bookshelf were put in place.
　The magic book I bought today was on the reception counter, but I put it away here.
"See you around for another year.
　I said those words to my room.

　After my room was settled, I put my training into the afternoon and read the magic book I had just bought.

　The content had many overlapping points, but there were also some things that were new to me, such as the magic boosting skills that raise the amount of magic power to consciously increase the amount of magic power, chanting discards rather than chanting omissions, and that it is more efficient to learn things like heal.
　However, these books don't list the disadvantages. There is no description of what happens if you do that. Speaking from first-hand experience, regarding chanting, no chanting does not manifest a skill, and at level I, it consumes eight times the magic power.
　There was no description for this. That's why I, with my small amount of magic, haven't raised the level of chantless chanting at the moment. At some point, if my magic power level increases, I'd like to consider it, but...

　With that in mind, I've got some new magic, but I'd like to get the required magic power reduction skill that will reduce the magic power consumption first.
　Of course, I'll need to increase my level of magic manipulation and magic control to trigger it and it won't work, but I want to be able to use a lot of magic.
　Although I feel impatient, I wanted to do my best to be able to travel at least.
