After finishing off the calamity, Estatet sat down on the ground. Slashing so many tis at such high speed was very taxing. She was spent. Among the other S rankers only Eldriana and Dianslek were standing. Both Emilia and Falgaria were sleeping while lying on bare ground. This was probably the first ti when S rankers like them had to sleep like that.
After getting the ntal ssage about the rewards, Eldriana and Dainslek also sat down on the ground. They were also quite tired after this struggle, especially Eldriana who had to take on many attacks by the Titan and even had to physically attack it over and over again.
So after the end of the battle they did not celebrate or shout but instead sat quietly to rest up as much as possible. After about 4 hours, Emilia woke up. Her mana had recovered a little bit and she was feeling a bit better. But Falgaria was still sleeping. It looked like the "Eye of Nèdes" was more taxing to the body than what they expected.
After waking up Emilia contacted her subordinates to prepare a place for them and asked everyone to take a break there for a day. Then they would discuss the details the next day. That was sothing everyone welcod as all of them were ntally and physically very tired.
...
The next day, everyone gathered in the hall. After a full day of rest, all of them were feeling well. Just as they were about to start the discussion l, Elena appeared inside the room. Seeing all the high and mighty S rankers bowed their heads to her. The main reason they were able to defeat the calamity was definitely Elena, as without her training it would have been impossible for them to work together so well and her little advices were enough to increase their power by a whole level. So all of them were extrely thankful to her.
Elena was quite satisfied with the way they deal with the calamity. They did not make any big mistakes and were in control for the majority of the battle. Yes, their lives were in great danger for so monts, but for a fight like that sothing unexpected happening was entirely normal.
Elena did not et them after the end of the battle because she was trying to give them so ti to adjust their mind. That was a very important battle which was able to make them stronger than they were before. So that needed so alone ti to digest all the gains.
After thanking Elena, everyone started to talk again. They were going to discuss the reward they got for defeating the calamity. What they got was truly very amazing and they understood why other races were jealous of elves.
First of all, all five of them got quite a lot of experience points. Eldriana and Emilia crossed the level range of 350 with that. Falgaria and Dianslek were also able to reach the level of above 340, which was a big deal. Before the calamity, Leonhart was stronger than them, but now he would be weaker. This was truly a very enviable thing.
But the person who was able to gain the most from the experience points was Estatet. She went from just a beginner S ranker to a high S ranker with a level above 330. It was a big leap in power for her.
Other than the experience, all of them were also given one item that matched their attribute and fighting style. Eldriana got a pair of gloves, Emilia for a pendent with High Goddess Alreuni's figure curved in it, Falgaria for a bracelet that allowed her to utilise more of her ground control powers, Dainslek got a staff which could boost the power of thunder magic and Estatet got a pair of blades which were as light as feather and perfectly suited her.
Actually the rewards they got were a little bit more than normal which they did not know as the normal reward for defeating a high grade calamity was unknown. All those items were actually created by Elena herself and she used the calamity system to give them to her students. Yes, even though it was only for a short few days, they were still her students and Elena was very doting toward any of her disciples.
But that was not all. Other than the item and experience, all of them also got a chance to select a material that they needed. Obviously there was a limit to the quality of the material, but anything below the demigod rank was fine, so it was a huge reward.
Other than discussing about the reward, the S rankers also talked a little bit about politics. After this battle, all of them had beco good friends with each other and were planning to start trading with one another. Specially the Golden Dynasty did not have many international partners because of their nature so it was a valuable opportunity for Dainslek to improve their international connection.
Actually the Golden Dynasty would have been in trouble if Dianslek was unable to create good friendship with other S rankers. The subordinates he brought were absolutely pathetic. When the S rankers were busy training, they were busy insulting everyone and picking fights. They even looked down on Elena for keeping them with subordinates of other S rankers.
That was too much for Dalia as she was unable to forgive any insults toward Elena. The other people who ca with the S rankers were also looking at those people with pity instead of anger. They were just way too foolish. Even a S ranker did not have the audacity to insult Demigod. Then how dare they, just re weaklings talking back to one. But Elena did not need to take action as Dalia incinerated them to death.
When Dianslek got the news about this, he face paled. He knew that his subordinates were prideful but he did not expect them to be so foolish. They only had 10 S rankers and even they were fighting against each other. His nation was not confident in dealing with even Eldriana alone and his foolish subordinates were peaking fights against a demigod. That was extrely stressful. He imdiately apologized to Elena and the other people who were insulted by his subordinates and everyone actually felt pity and forgave him.
After all the discussion was over, everyone left for their ho country. They all were busy people and needed to be in their post as soon as possible. But they also decided to stay in touch with a magic item and created an alliance called the "Strong Arm Alliance".
...
As Elena was still traveling the Ioikashi kingdom, she returned there with Dalia and Eldriana. Her sightseeing in this nation was just beginning and she was unwilling to go to other places before enjoying this place to its fullest. But before that she had sothing to do.
At night, under the moonlight Elena t with Eldriana. The atmosphere was very serious and Eldriana was a bit nervous as she had no idea why Elena wanted to et her at such a ti.
"Ria, I know that you call yourself a dirty flower as you feel bad and responsible for the death of your family and I'm supporting it. Having regret might not look like a good thing but if used with a correct mindset it also can be a big motivator."
Eldriana had no idea where Elena was going with this but when Elena affird her conviction, she felt extrely happy. Emilia had once tried to get rid of her regret with good intentions but Eldriana was unwilling. She felt like she would be taking it easy without that constantly reminding her of the importance of power and family. So when Elena said that it was fine to have regrets, Eldriana felt very happy.
"I like your character and you also have a very rare qualification as you have never practiced any traditional martial arts. Most importantly, you have a pure heart that seeks strength and a strong willpower to never give up. That's all the quality I want. So I have a proposal for you. Ria, are you willing to beco my first inheritor to inherit by martial art ?"
Hearing that Eldriana's eyes widened. Elena, a very powerful lady was inviting her to beco her very first inheritor. This was a very valuable opportunity, probably the most valuable thing she had ever encountered in her life. Her instincts were telling her to accept, but -
"Elena sama, will I have to practice your martial arts ?"
Eldriana had never practiced any martial arts not because she was unable to learn them but she found them unsuitable for her. Even though Elena's martial arts were miles better, she still felt it was not sothing that belonged to her.
Hearing that question, Elena gave a satisfied smile to Eldriana and said -
"As my inheritor, you needed to create your own martial arts. Not only that, you also need to have the ability to see everything from a broader perspective as it is a bigger deal than what you're thinking. So, are you willing ?"
This ti Eldriana did not reject the idea and bowed to Elena with a determined look on her face -
"Yes, I'm willing."
