A man insists his injured teammate remove her clothes to apply a potion that must touch the skin to heal her meridians, warning her sternly against resistance. As the treatment progresses, she feels the healing activate through hot sensations and a purification process. Meanwhile, the man completes an initial evolution on three allies, granting them powerful S-rank abilities including Ice Mastery and Berserker Physique. When a Rock Troll appears, the man prepares to test his enhanced ice powers in combat, demonstrating both offensive and healing strength, setting up a confrontation with the monster just as the episode ends.
