"Let's begin the first meeting of Celestia,"  she said.

She was a woman with tall stature, hazel-colored eyes, and silver-gold colored hair that extended till the end of her spinal cord. A scar could be seen emerging out of her neck, a scar that was very similar to the one that Grey had in his left hand. 

Being seated in the center of the table. naturally, everyone's attention was focused on her.  Even if one tried, it's difficult to ignore her presence.

And certainly Grey couldn't ignore her, specifically due to his power of Minerva. Grey saw that her aura was another level, her mana core, and her energy signature everything was at a level of its own.

This woman... she is strong. Well, it makes sense since she is the leader of this organization.

Being seated on the chair comfortably, she opened her mouth, "I, Sara Hardy am thankful that you have all gathered here for me."

With a little pause, she spoke "As for the occasion of the first-ever meeting of Celestia, I want to say only one thing."

A smile curved up her lips as she said "Let's play a game" 

Everyone's face twisted in confusion, so to clear the confusion, Hina opened her mouth asking "What do you mean by game?" 

"As I said, let's play a game. Of course, your standing in the organization will be decided by the game. Your fellow member will be able to see how capable you are, won't it be fun?" said Sara as she leaned against the chair. 

"What kind of game do you want to play, Princess?" asked Hina.

"It is a simple game, we will divide the fourteen people present in this room as two teams and assign one city to each team. The goal is to take over the underworld of that city in seven days and also the winner will be decided by how efficiently a person has done their job." 

Game? I don't have time for games. There is somewhere I have to be, there are things I have to do.  I don't really care about my standing in the organization, since at the end of the day I will be just using them. 

After a brief pause, Sara opened her mouth saying "The two cities will be Lenton city and Queens port, and the leader of the two teams will be me and Hina. We both will be presented with a bowl of papers and each paper will have a name, we will take turns to take a paper out of the bowl, to form our team."

"Very well, I have no problem," said Hina agreeing to the rules. 

A bowl full of written names was kept in between the table, Hina walked near the bowl as she said,

"Then I will be going first." 

Inserting her hand in the bowl, she picked out a piece of paper. Unfolding the paper, a smile formed on her face as she read the name in the paper that she had picked. 

"What? what? what's with that smile? who did you get?" asked Sara, as excitement brimmed out of her eyes.

Eh? is she seriously our leader?

A smug smile curved up her lips as she said "I got Grey", this was the first time Grey had seen such an expression on Hina's face.

Sara bit her lips as she slammed her fist on the table, shouting "Goddamit!!!!"

Huh? huh? since when did I get so popular?

Grey walked up to Hina as he stood beside her. 

Turning to face Grey, Sara extended her hand for a handshake "Welcome to Celestia" 

"It's my honor," said Grey, accepting the handshake.

"Ah, by the way, are you good with being in Hina's team? I mean you can change team if you want," said Sara throwing a wink at Grey. 

"Actually, I am quite comfortable being in Hina's team.", Grey turned to face Hina as he said, "But can you please choose Lenton city, since I have something to do there."

"Princess, you heard him, we are choosing Linton city."

"You both seem to have a very close relationship. Now I regret not going to recruit Grey myself," said Sara dramatically as she slammed her fist in the table, this time breaking it.

Woman!! stop abusing the table!

"No, we met by chance, but I am glad that I met him," said Hina.

The thing was that Grey would have declined to take part in this game since he had a thing he had to do and that too was an important thing. He had to visit a city that would play an important role in reviving Illya.

The name of the City was the Linton city, the same city that Hina choose, so now Grey had no reason to decline taking part in the game. 

Linton city is the home city for one of the prominent churches, the church of Iris. That posses a thing that is important in Grey's plan to revive Illya and to kill the god of death. 

{Author: Grey's plan will be revealed bit by bit in this arc}

One by one they took turns to choose a paper from the bowl and in the end, both the teams ended like:

Team Hina:

Grey, Kiara Ari (The Lion), Evan Green(Elf), Ray Aenon(Rin's sister), Rin Aenon, and Asai Tsuyoshi.

Team Sara:

Eddie Horns, Dracy Bloodmoon(Vampire), Robert Trivet(Chimera}, Freya(Human Witch), Arno Dwar (Kelpie), Miles Hoffmann.

"You guys have six corps leaders that's unfair!!!' complained Evan.

"Well, luck is luck. " Said Dracy brushing him off. 

Dracy Bloodmoon is the tenth Corps leader, and she is also a vampire. 

"Ah, by the way," said Sara to catch everyone's attention, her facial expression suddenly turned serious as she said "Even though I presented it as a game, this is a serious mission. It is in the best interest of Celestia to capture the Queens port and Lenton city. The Queens port is the major port of the Amay nation, it will be a great source of money if we capture it and the Lenton city is the home for a major church, The Iris church. 

The churches and Inferno are working together, so we need to weaken the church bit by bit if we want to destroy the inferno."

Sara sat in the chair as she said "This is an important mission, I don't care about introductions and all. Everyone who is present here is here because of a reason. Complete this mission and failure will not be accepted."

"Yes princess!" said everyone simultaneously.

"Oh, I nearly forgot that I will be taking part in the mission as well," said Sara, later she walked up to the mirror as she said to her own reflection "Failure will not be accepted. Damn, I am cool!"

This woman... can she at least act serious for a full minute?

Thought Grey as he gave a judgmental gaze to Sara, it wasn't intentional, he did that subconsciously.

Kiara started walking out the door as he said "Let's go!! we have time to waste!", walking beside him was Asai. 

To annoy Evan, Dracy placed her hand on Miles's shoulder as she said "Too bad, we also a prince in our team."

She was talking about Miles.

"Shut up!! this is unfair!!" complained Evan as he greeted his teeth. His veins started popping out of his forehead, it looked like it would burst out anytime.

Grey quickly tried to walk out of the room, as he wanted no part in this. But he couldn't as Rin grabbed his hand. 

A wide grin spread across her face as she said "So what? do you know this guy, Grey's full name?" 

"What is it?" asked Evan.

"Grey Hoffmann," said Rin looking proud.

Why are you looking so proud? why are you so proud of my identity?

"Huh? seriously? damn? are you like serious serious?" asked Evan. 

"Yes, I am dead serious. He is a prince of Frey nation and also the prince of Amay nation," said Rin as she folded her hand. 

Seriously stop looking so proud over my identity!!!.

Evan turned to face Dracy, walking up to her he got close to her face as he said with a Vile grin "Did you hear that, you vampire girl!"

"Shut up!--"

As both of them were arguing in the background, Miles walked up to Grey. He stood in front of Grey and he by no means had a friendly expression. He

"Are you aiming for the throne?" he asked intimidatingly. 

Grey took a step closer as he looked straight into his eyes, "Haven't decided yet," he said.

"I advise you to not go for the throne since it will make you my enemy. I am saying this for your own good," said Miles as he walked out of the room. 

"I will gladly accept you as my enemy." 

In moments like this, Grey makes sure to not give anyone any psychological advantage over Grey. By Grey's every little body language, he lets his opponent know that he has every psychological advantage over his opponent. 

That is why he never shows any vulnerable emotions such as sadness.
