Episode 3 recap
The Great Cleric’s third episode began with Brod and Luciel agreeing to a one-month restriction of the latter physically staying in the guild to train. Luciel then met Brod in the cafeteria, where he was treated to a meal, told to eat it all, then come to the basement. Brod then showed Luciel his room, warning him that he’d be busy from tomorrow on.
Luciel did some brief training before falling asleep, meeting Brod for breakfast the next morning. He then drank a potion that gave him a temporary boost, but it tasted disgusting. In the end, Luciel managed to chug the entire thing, joining Brod for training after. The series then jumped to a week later, with Luciel continuing to train with Brod, but feeling like he’s making no progress. Luciel then healed an adventurer, who cried over the kindness he showed her as a Beastfolk.
Luciel then asked Brod why it felt like people were watching him lately. Brod explained that everyone is worried he might run away, to which he said he promised a month and he’ll be here for a month. On the last day of his contract, Brod paid Luciel 12 silver coins in exchange for his services. Luciel then paid his offerings to the healer’s guild for one year, returning to Brod and the adventurers’ guild after to continue his training and receive an adventurer’s card of his own.
What to expect (speculative)

The Great Cleric episode 4 may also see Luciel begin meeting whoever his eventual party will consist of, especially with him receiving his own adventurer’s card in the third episode. While the early setup stages of the series still have a few episodes to go, fans are seemingly past the halfway point in that regard.
