BOOK1:THE BEGINNING:CHAPTER XLII:END OF TRAINING

Frightened to the marrow, Collins and his partner stared spellbound by the lightening they saw enraptured around the Master Maeus sword . They were greatly memorized and dumbstruck by the sudden appearance of the lightening bolts and couldn't find a way to restore themselves back to consciousness. Melizzar knew at that moment that the underdogs would inevitably lose the duel after showing surprising outstanding skill in a good attempt to catch their unequal opponent off guard but things started to change when the advocate issued forth four lightening bolts from his sword and it struck off all Collin's shadow to dust leaving only his two real rivals barely alive for him contend with.
With a feel of his sword, he took another shot of lightening at the two underdogs but they dodged the incoming blast and quickly withdrew several meters away from the master though they stood wide apart from each other after they luckily evade Maeus's fifth strike using the same sword art he used to kill off Collin's clones.
The spectators at this point were highly apprehensive and were undoubtedly worried that the two boys would get struck down if the fight persist, even Bella and Anusara became anxiously afraid for the two undeterred combatants but no one dare to raise their voices or let out a squeal to stop the battle which had turned in the favor of the advocate.
Maeus knew what would happen if he continued the fight and he also knew as well that those watching were unnecessarily getting tensed up since their faces apart from Melizzar had all turned horrid the moment they saw the massive power of thunderbolts coming out of his sword. His eyes filled with rage, roamed around the appalled faces of his opponent including that of the audience seated around the arena till it fell on Melizzar who by now had entered into the training hall along with Bella helping Anusara to walk with her and was standing a few meters away from some weapons kept aside from the arena with his back facing multiple long sticks and sharp iron spears having a long wooden handle.
The look on Melizzar's face read total dissatisfaction when Maeus saw him standing next to Bella and the other combatant behind the seated crowd but the skilled equiped swordsman showed resilience rather than being afraid of what his fellow advocate might think of him trying to harm the two vulnerable boys with his unmatched sword art.
He waited patiently for another ten minutes savoring the silence in the hall despite knowing that everyone else was also waiting for him to make a move as expected though they hoped he would change his mind and end the training session that has spanned more than half an hour since the fight started.
As predicted in the hearts of the underdogs and those that prayed he won't go ahead with his plans to deal with the two boys for almost bringing him down, he made the lightening to disappear and sheathed the sword back in its scabbard straped tightly against his loose-fitting girdle which dangled loosely around his waist.
"Keep your back the swords, this fighting session is over",
He mumbled looking at his relieved opponent. Collins wearily trudged with his sheathed blade to the center of the arena followed by his fighting partner from the opposite direction. The rest of the other trainees watched the remarkable warriors take their stance to conclude the training. Maeus walked up to where the two boys met at a junction and waited for them to remove the dummy helmet of a werewolf from their heads respectively and each remove it with the bare strength they had left in their limbs.
"I call this one a truce and I'm impressed by your show of brevity and teamwork",
He said looking down at them. Then his eyes trailed off and fell on Anusara while the seated crowd immediately turned around to take a look at Bella holding Anusara. They all began to whisper amongst themselves after their attention was directed at Anusara who looking at the trainer instead of the other trainees watching her. She as well as everyone else knew the reason for her Master's gaze and she didn't wait to be told to head towards the platform to join the others to perform the concluding rites of the training session. But she wasn't in the state of walking freely and had no choice other than to tell Bella to take her there. Bella knowing her intent as well as the rule that binds on all of them, obeyed and carried her to the platform through the midst of those seated around the platform having ignored Melizzar's request for assistance..
"Thanks for your help",
Anusara appreciated after they got the arena, arriving at where Collins and the other chubby fellow stood in front of the advocate.
"Don't mention it",
Bella whispered and quickly head back to where she was standing close to Melizzar to avoid the fiery eyes of the advocate looking at her before she left in an hurry.
"Alright. Now that you are all here, we need to end this session right this inst",
