Episode 2 recap
The Great Cleric’s second episode opened up with Luciel remembering his promise to never become a corrupt healer, then moving forward with him healing at the end of the episode. While he initially struggled, he was eventually able to heal all but one injured person due to running out of magic. However, he eventually woke up in bed remembering he failed to save one person.
This inspired Luciel to level up as a healer, the means to which he decided was joining the adventurers’ guild. After registering and getting acquainted with the rules, Luciel met Nanaella and Brod, who worked at the guild. Brod said he’ll see Luciel in six days for training, prompting him to return to his inn room to eat, where he learned that to reach level 5 in a magic skill by the time one turns 20 is considered quite talented.
Luciel then headed to the adventurers’ guild later that week for his training with Brod, which was a truly hellish first day. However, despite wanting to quit, he pushed forward, earning the respect of Brod. The episode’s final scenes saw Luciel heal an adventurer party that had come to the guild, which further earned him Brod’s respect and inspired him to persevere and continue honing his skills in this new world.
What to expect (speculative)
Now having a clear sense of direction, Luciel will likely continue focusing on his adventurers’ guild training in The Great Cleric episode 3 and even beyond. While an interesting choice to have Luciel need to work as a healer, it can make for an engaging opening section to the anime series if executed properly.
The Great Cleric episode 3’s events will likely make or break fans’ initial opinion of such a narrative route. Thankfully, the series has given fans no reason to doubt it over the first two episodes, suggesting that fans can expect Luciel’s training to continue to be as engaging as it was in the second episode.
