Maa, why is school giving such a heavy workload? We don't have time for cases anymore. I haven't had free time in forever. Middle school exams are coming up, too. I'm doomed.

Really? You mean training like fighting? ...Were you picked on? [assuming from his crying comment]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Yes, we were being trained to fight. Kido wanted us to become Saints so he I guess he though he would give us a head start.

I was picked on a little bit, but Nii-san looked out for me when I was little and then my friend June helped me learn to ignore those people and stand up for myself.

Ah, so people aren't just born Saints? Mu is a saint, isn't he? I know he works for a goddess.

Ah, that's good. Bullies are such a pain.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Mu's a Gold Saint and Gold Saints are special, but I think ever Saint has to go through years of training before they can take the test that determines if they are worthy to earn a Cloth and become a Saint.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

Oh, there's a test?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's more of a trial to determine if your strong enough to earn your cloth though. There are only eighty-eight Cloths though, so it's hard to earn one.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

But Mu can make cloths, can't he?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Mu just repairs the cloths. Legend has it that the Cloths themselves were made by Hephaestus, the smith god.

Ah, there must be a lot of gods in your world.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

There are. I know there's all the gods from the Greek Parthenon and the Norse gods at least. I heard someone talking about the Egyptian gods too. Luckily gods aren't allowed to interfere with mortals much anymore.

[seventhcoil.livejournal.com]

I know some of those gods but not all of them. I know there's a lot of them.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Part of a Saints training is learning all about the Greek gods. Master Albiore made us memorize all the Greek Myths, so if a god attacked Athena we would be able to identify which one it was.

Are all the other gods bad?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

Not all of them are bad. Odin even helped us once. But most of the gods we run into are ones who want to hurt Athena.
