To start the meeting Emilia was the first to speak up as the host -
"Hello everyone. It's not always that we get a chance to meet together, but unfortunately we don't have time to leisurely chat as the situation we found ourselves into is quite dire."
After speaking this much Emilia paused for a bit. But before she could start once again, Estatet spoke up -
"Sorry to disturb you, Archpriestess Emilia, but my subordinates are getting harassed by those imbeciles of the Golden Dynasty. So I hope the Archpriestess would not hold me accountable if I killed those bunch of fools."
Hearing the statement, the Golden Dynasty king, Dainslek suddenly stood up angrily and said -
"I dare you to speak the same words again before my eyes. How low of you to target lower realm peoples ? Do you think I will not stop you from doing something like this ?"
"Hee, I'm also getting very irritated by their geez and want to kill them. What, do you think you're strong enough to fight against two S rankers ?"
Hearing Dainslek, Falgaria also spoke up. Hearing her Dainslek became silent. Estatet was the youngest among them to reach the S rank, it had not even been 30 years since she managed to reach S rank, so Dainslek was confident in defeating her. But Falgaria was different.
She was known as a great genius even before achieving S rank. And after finally reaching the S rank, she was able to awaken the bloodline skill of the Astansev family, "Rock Dominance". With that even though she was not as strong as Eldriana, her strength was not to be underestimated.
That was the reason why Dainslek had to back down. He was very confident that if he and Falgaria faced off, he would definitely be defeated. So he was forced to back down and scold his subordinates and told them to keep quiet. Then finally the meeting started.
...
Emelia started to speak once again -
"As I was saying, the situation we are facing is very bad. This is not the time for infighting. So I will like to request all of you to not behave and to not create unnecessary troubles."
Emilia spoke with such authority that no one was able to defy her. After seeing that everyone was finally calm she went to the main point.
"According to the investigation done by my subordinates, the calamity will be born close to the Magnolia Forest. So, we need to stop it before reaching the City of Koulia. That is one of the major trading cities, so its destruction would be very disastrous."
Hearing that everyone nodded their head. Seeing that everyone was on the same page, Emilia continued -
"The main two problems that we are currently facing is that the grade of our calamity is high and the number of people that would be facing the calamity is only five, which is very low if compared to the number of people who had faced the previous calamities. We need to find a way to clear this calamity without any loss on our part."
So far, the strongest person present here, Eldriana had not spoken anything. But now she spoke up for the first time -
"For this I have a proposal to make. We have a few days in hand and I know a venerated demigod who is willing to give us some training for the duration of those days. So I would like to ask everyone to take that training together."
As soon as she finished saying it, the place had turned silent. Demigods were way too distant for them. There were almost no demigods left in the mortal world. After reaching the demigod rank, they would all go to either Elysium or Valhalla to do further training or to the divine realms of the god who gave them the trials to become a Demigod.
So it was almost impossible to find demigods in the mortal world. And even if they could find one, who would have the guts to ask something from someone so great. That was why everyone was so astonished that Eldriana not only knew a Demigod in person, she even managed to ask that person for a favour. Seeing their silent reaction, Eldriana asked while tilting her head -
"Are you all unwilling to train with the demigod ?"
Hearing her quizzical question all of them instantly came back to their senses and replied hurriedly -
"No, no. We're willing, we're willing. Please allow us to take you up on your proposal."
Getting training from a Demigod was an opportunity for a lifetime, how could they give it up. They would even be willing to give away the majority of their wealth to have a chance to talk with a demigod.
All the S rankers sitting there thought -
"As expected of "The Strongest". She did not speak much throughout the meeting, but when she spoke, it blew away everyone's mind. They never expected that they would be able to get a chance to not only meet but also to train with a demigod. This was truly a heaven sent opportunity.
As soon as everyone agreed, Elena who was seeing everything from the side clapped and everyone except the S rankers and Dalia fell asleep. Startled, everyone tried to stand up. But to their horror they realised that they were unable to move even a finger. It was as if they all had become statues.
The only person who was calm in this situation was Eldriana. Actually, even she was a bit surprised to see how overwhelming the power of the demigod was. Even ever calm Emilia had lost her cool let alone the others. In this tense moment Elena spoke up -
"Hello everyone, I'm Elena, a S rank adventurer and also someone who is above the S rank. Eldriana asked me for a favour and that was to train the five of you for the upcoming calamity. As we don't have too much time in hand, I am going to start your training right now."
After Elena finished talking everyone was able to move once again. But no one did anything like putting their hands in a weapon or to stand up as that would be disrespectful to the demigod. And disrespecting a demigod could end in only a single outcome, death.
After that, everyone followed and she took them to a large stadium-like structure. There they were made to fight against different types of enemies who were on their own power level. That way Elena would be able to analyse and understand everyone's fighting habits and could prepare a personalized training plan for each of them.
From what Elena could see in these fights, she found out that all five of them had one big fault and that was their inability to work together. All five of them were extremely powerful and no one as a partner with the same power level. For that reason most of the time they were used to fighting alone. Even Estatet was the same even though she was an adventurer with a team. So Elena first needed to make them work together before anything else.
The training was about to begin.
