After Elena showed her willingness to hear her request, Eldriana said -

"Lady Elena, I want to request your help in training us S rankers who will be challenging the calamity for a few days. I don't think everyone is ready for a high grade calamity like this."

Hearing Eldriana's request Elena nodded her head and said -

"I don't mind giving all of you a bit of training, but first I need to observe all of you from the perspective of a regular person. Are attendants allowed in your upcoming gathering ?"

"Yes, most of the S rankers who are with a nation or organisation have many subordinates and those subordinates were also the one doing most of the official jobs. For that reason, S rankers were allowed to bring a maximum of 3 subordinates in the gathering."

"Hmm, good. If that is the case then take me to your gathering tomorrow as your subordinate. Do you have anyone else in your mind whom you want to take with you ?"

"No. I usually attend these meetings alone. I do most of my work by myself and I also always try to stay up to date with what my subordinates are doing. That's why I don't really need a subordinate's help in making decisions."

"That is impressive. Then you can make Dalia one of your subordinates too. Seeing the interactions between the absolute top powerhouses of the surrounding nations would help her immensely."

Eldriana had no problem with this proposal, so it was decided that Elena and Dalia both would be visiting the gathering of S rankers alongside Eldriana as her subordinate.

...

The meeting between the S rankers was going to take place in one of the temples dedicated to High Goddess Alreuni and "Blooming Purgatory" Archpriestess would be the host. The temple was located in a neutral forest area which did not belong to any nation so everyone was comfortable in coming here.

It was not so far away, just about a few thousands of kilometers, which would be an insane distance for a normal person, but even a B ranker could easily cross this much distance without any problem. So Elena, Dalia and Eldriana were able to easily reach the location where the meeting would be taking place.

Two elf priestesses welcomed and escorted them to a large hall. There was a table in the middle of that hall and five chairs were placed there indicating that for today's meeting, a total of 5 S rankers would be coming.

Currently other than Eldriana only one person was sitting on one of the seats. She was also a elf with long ears. Her eyes and hair were both silver in colour. Her face was stunningly beautiful and she was giving of a aura of serenity. But at the same time, her aura also felt dangerous and heated. If anyone thoughtlessly offended her, that person would die horribly; that was the type of aura she was giving.

She was none other than the renowned Archpriestess of "Blooming Purgatory", Emilia Dawnfloret. Her name was known to almost all the elves as the strongest before Eldriana's rise. Even after losing her position as the strongest, she was still one of the most influential people among the elves and had many connections. She was also one of the rare few friends that Eldriana had.

After seeing Eldriana, she stood up and greeted her with a hug. Her beautiful face lit up in a dazzling smile. She was truly happy after seeing her good friend.

Eldriana was also happy after seeing Emilia but her expression did not change much. Then Emilia noticed Elena and Dalia behind Eldriana and showed a surprised expression. She knew Eldriana very well and was aware that she was not someone who needed her subordinates' input for this kind of meeting. So she was very bewildered after seeing her friend doing something that she would normally not do.

Seeing that Eldriana explained that these two were very strong and her was lucky enough to make them her subordinates just recently. So she wanted them to gain valuable experience by meeting other S rankers. This was a good explanation as Eldriana was known to be caring for her subordinates and she never brought any subordinates before her before as because she never really had any subordinates who would be able to gain anything from this kind of opportunity. So it made sense that when she got good subordinates who had the potential to reach the S ranks and would be able to improve by this opportunity, she brought them over.

Then, Emilia took Eldriana's hand and took her to a seat. Then they started talking about various things. Meanwhile Elena and Dalia went to the wall and took seats there. That was the sitting space prepared for the subordinates.

After 20 minutes or so, more S rankers started to appear. Dalia was very excited and told Elena about their identity. After Eldriana, the next one to appear was a tall lady with green hair and a very fit figure. She was wearing a skin tight dress that was very fit to move in. There was a pair of twin Falchion swords on her hips. She had a confident stride and it was evident that she was very experienced in fighting.

Dalia explained that this person was named Estatet and she was a S rank adventurer. She did not officially belong to any nation but had a good relationship with the Queen of Rigfreshia. The three other people who came with her were the members of her team.

After her, an elvin man with golden hair and golden eyes, wearing a golden dress entered the room. He had a regal air around him and he was wearing a crown with seven green gems adoring it. Behind him three other people were standing and looking at everyone as if they were some kind of mighty figures looking at lower lifeforms.

Dalia introduced him to be the 2nd king of the Golden Dynasty. It was a strong nation with seven S rankers ruling it. In this nation humans, elves and dwarfs co-existed, so it was quite an advanced nation who made use of the good qualities of all the races.

But that also made the inhabitants of this nation very arrogant toward others. They did not have a royal family and the strongest S ranker always took the throne. Currently, Dainslek Racter Hedwinn had just managed to defeat the previous ruler and the founder of the Golden Dynasty to become the 2nd king of that nation. He was also one of the S rankers who got the divine revelation to participate in the calamity.

Just as he took a seat, the last person to get invited also appeared. She had pink hair with dark brown eyes. She was not walking on the ground but was floating while sitting on a flying cushion. Her eyes and a lazy and unbothered look. She was the only person participating in this meeting who did not bring any subordinates with her.

Dalia introduced her to be the heir of a reclusive and ancient Elvin clan. Her name was Falgaria Astansev. The Astansev clan had existed for over several hundreds of thousands of years and was very ancient even for the elves themselves.

Just her arrival, all the participants of the upcoming calamity had gathered and the meeting between them was about to start.
