The Holy Priest Recognition Ceremony ended, bringing a brief peace to Lucan.
Now recognized as a Holy Priest who oversees "education," Lucan was respected by the temple clergy, but this didn't dramatically change his life.
As a priest, he continued to pray for the people, heal the injured and sick with holy magic, and... receive donations.
Well, my divine magic has improved. It must be because I've started gathering faith from the people.
Sitting at the table, Lucan pondered while gazing out the window.
Divine magic, with few exceptions like the saintess, was an ability acquired later in life rather than something one was born with.
It could be learned through rigorous training in the temple, accumulating virtue and faith.
Having become a Holy Priest, Lucan now held a position that garnered reverence from the people around him.
This faith directed at him enhanced his divine magic abilities.
