Chapter 116 - The Gathering of Thirteen
In a grand hall, where the walls were adorned with luxurious fine fabrics, a round wooden table stood at the center, surrounded by sixteen chairs. Only thirteen of these chairs were occupied.
At the head of the table sat Elincia, her stern expression commanding attention.
"Alright... I'm going to start this important meeting. We've delayed this for too long," she declared loudly. "Some of you were undisciplined and slow to accept my invitation—Trison, Jovina, and Starfall!" Her voice echoed through the hall as she spoke their names.
The three bowed their heads in unison and answered in shame, "Sorry, Elincia."
Out of the thirteen members of the Guild, six pairs of partners were assigned as teams to carry out their respective tasks. Only Elincia had the sole responsibility of completing her mission alone, thanks to her exceptional ability, which enabled her to move quickly—an unmatched mobility.
