Chapter 51: Introduction to the 13 Saints (2)

Sea of Krylin, Near the border of Island of Samin

In a large Faery Ship Transport.

"How much longer?" a cold voice spoke from the deck of the ship which is flying from above the water.

"Our estimated arrival is 3 days sir. With the additional reinforcements that are still on the way here, it will take 7 more days." the attendant behind replied respectfully. He looked into the horizon and could now see small islands appearing.

"Darn it. Why is Heymon so damn slow in sending his reinforcements." The person who just spoke is one of the Leader in the Hands of Ganges, Rattle of the Miryan Adventurer Team, Rank 3 Level 187. Although he is the weakest among the 5 Leaders their strength is not far apart which enabled him to disrespectfully say Heymon's name.

"It seems our sponsor's attacker got away scot-free when they are attacked by Sir Heymon's three Rank 2 Assassins." his attendant courteously said.

"Are they stupid? They actually lost to a Rank 1 newbie? Hah Heymon must be getting riled up by now." Rattle laughed at the deck of the ship.

"No sir, it seems Diyo is the one that ended their lives." the attendant spoke as if he didn't care that his leader just boasted on how weak his subordinate's members are.

"Ahem. That darn Diyo ruined our plans again." He immediately changed the topic as he's slightly embarrassed. Remembering the past, none of the 13 Saints are actually good-willed towards the Hands of Ganges. Their only sole purpose is protecting Samin Island which is the base of operations of the Seven Seas Miniscule Guild.

....

Kingdom of Estafiel

"8th Saint Asahi, still hung up on my Chief?" Diyo sarcastically laughe as he retorted insult with an insult. Tiger Tail was originally invited by Asahi to join his Adventurer Team however due to complications he rejected the invitation and joined Diyo's Kikyo Adventurer Team.

"Hahaha, nice joke Diyo." Asahi sat on the 9th chair as he looked at Diyo behind him with great anger for his humiliation as he already saw 2nd Saint Lira and 7th Saint Aliyah beside him smiling when Diyo insulted him.

"8th Saint Asahi, Leader of the Marina Adventurer Team, Rank 3 Lvl 199 that obtained the class *Ranger of the Seas*," Diyo explained as he watched the next person to sit down. Among the 13 Saints, he is the tallest person of them all which almost reaches 6'5 ft. However, the way he walks resembles that of a child.

"9th Saint Hope, Leader of Highten Adventurer Team, Rank 3 Level 200 obtained the class *Goliath*. Although their Team is quite strong they mostly patrol the mountain areas of the Samin Island earning the team the nickname the "The Mountaineers".

Diyo smiled as he's about to explain who'll be sitting next to until he realized no one is moving and everyone is looking at him "Oh wait, I'm the 10th Saint." Diyo laughed as he forgot his position and he began walking to his designated chair under the wary gaze of Asahi.

"10th Saint Diyo, Leader of the Kinkyo Adventurer Team which boasts the highest member count among the adventurer team of the 13 Saints, Rank 3 Level 200." this time it is Tiger Tail which is narrating.

The other people began observing the next Saint to sit however just like Diyo he didn't move as he is...asleep.

His Chief began tugging his cloth armor to wake him up and whispered in his ears. "Leader it's your turn."

The person who is sleeping while standing slowly opened his eyes. "It's my turn now? Darn, I should earn 1st Saint next so I won't be bored standing here."

His joke made everyone smile as if it's very common for him to do this. Everyone realizes that it didn't even pass 1 minute since Akuma sat down on his chair.

"11th Saint Wyte, Leader of the Marker Adventurer Team, Rank 3 Level 199 obtained the class *Ink Rain* also known as the Sleeping Saint due to his obsessiveness to sleep and the youngest person to be given the title Saint at the age of 25." Tiger Tail explained as the person just mentioned began walking to his chair and when he arrived he...slept.

The next person to sit down is Diyo's biological sister with a year in age gap. She began walking with elegance as if a model her pink silk clothing began swaying in the winds coming from outside as her beauty is accentuated by them.

"12th Saint Mami, Leader of Patrol Adventurer Team, Rank 3 Level 192 like 3rd Saint Samson her class came Support Types which is from the Cleric Path named *Healer Will* which is known as the strongest cleric class in the Samil Island database." Tiger Tail looked at the calm aura of Mami as she sat down on the chair not noticing her furrowing brows when her eyes landed on her brother.

The last person to sit down walked in a rush. Although he might not be stronger compared to Mami however he is the richest among the 13 Saints and the only Saint that specializes in the side job Merchant also known as Accounting God. He is the one managing the financial affairs of the Seven Seas Miniscule Guild as well as the main head on its trading division.

"13th Saint Kent, Leader of the Memer Adventurer Team Rank 3 Level 190, obtained the class *Heavenly Mage*" Tiger Tail looked at the figure that just sat down and began walking behind Diyo's chair along with other attendants walking towards their respective Leader's chair.

"Well, it seems we have all been seated. It's time to begin this meeting shall we?" Sampem suggested as he pulled out a stack of brown parchments and threw them to the 13 Saints like a catcher perfectly catching the baseball all 12 Saints got each except for 11th Saint Wyte where his Chief caught his paper as he is...still asleep.

All of the parchment holders opened the folded papers that they are holding.

"We have two agendas in today's meeting. One is the Team Games a week from now and second which is obviously as you all sensed before coming here, is the arrival of the Gremlin Miniscule Guild which is sponsoring the Hand of Ganges." Sampem announced as he looked at them especially the Chiefs who didn't sense a single threat due to their weak perceptions.
