The Healer Who Was Banished from His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest

Laust, a struggling healer, spent his early years being exploited by dishonest adventurers. Even after dedicating himself to training, he's betrayed by his first party, the Blades of Lightning, and cast out by their leader, Margulus. Now a laughingstock with little hope for his future, Laust is surprised when a rookie adventurer named Narsena invites him to join her party. Together, they quickly make a name for themselves by exploring unknown sections of the labyrinth. Though Laust doesn’t realize it, Narsena’s sudden offer may hide a deeper motive. Meanwhile, Margulus fails yet again to defeat a deadly hydra, despite recruiting Lyra, a skilled healer. When Laust is asked to rejoin the Blades of Lightning, he finds himself torn-unable to easily leave behind his old companions, even as he embraces his new life alongside Narsena.
