Sam was now in Alena's house. Not only him, you can say that his whole family was present in her house. Right now except his family, Alena, Fiona and Alena's sister are present here. Previously Gloria and Fiona directly came to her house. Unfortunately Saint John wasn't present here and he got to know from his teacher that Saint John was now preparing to break through.
Really this news was very surprising because he could guess that breaking through to SS-grade was most likely very hard. All the 9 saints became S-grade many years ago, and it wasn't that they didn't reach the limit. But even after reaching the limit they are unable to break through to the next grade. It shows us how hard it was to break through to SS-grade. Because of this many Warriors also thought that S-grade was the maximum limit any could reach. But all of them are wrong.
