65 The Second Awakening (1/2)

Elara started getting back her powers.

Herald layed her down calmly on the bed, but he cannot see her in the eye!

Very ashamed, and guilt is covering him...

But she reaches to his face with her soft white hands, and tells him two words.

”It's fine!”

Herald finally looks at her, but only smiles back and goes to his bed.

During the whole night, he couldn't sleep.

'...He's right!

The many times i've preached about sacrifice, the spirit of togetherness...

And when I've been put in a situation to really proove it.

I failed myself!

How could you....'

Herald contemplated what happened for the rest of the night.

He also thought about the mystery of the Grand Master!

Why hasn't he appeared in front of them all this time...

What's the secret of the floor.. The darkness and gloominess about it crushed his soul.

And the weird powers of him!

How could it have an effect on Elara like that, Elara being the strongest of them all!!

'The Grand Master, is that for a reason...

Even Heracles, who has a superior hard character, seemed to have the utmost respect for him.'

Said Herald in his mind.

Before he could notice, Morning has come!

The rest started getting up one by one.

Oumad. ”Good morning Herald!”

Herald. ”Oh you woke up...Good morning.”

Oumad asks. ”You woke up early didn't you?

I see, you're drawing?”.

Herald. ”Yeah...”

Moments later, everybody woke up and wore their training clothes then got themselves ready for the training.

*9am, At the Arena*

Heracles. ”Welcome again to one of the physical trainings.

I said earlier that this is going to be a very important one for the simple fact that, we'll focus on defense rather than offense!

There's a famous saying that says, ”The Best way to attack is to defend.”

Another says the opposite.

In my opinion, neither are true.

Offense is offense and defense is defense.

Both cordinate with each other to give a complete image of a fighter.

One has to have both, if he wanted to attain great powers.

I already know you have developped some defensive technics automatically through our previous training.

So we'll strengthen them, and even push ourselves to create better ones.

All with helping one another, in order to do that it is going to be me versus all 7 of you!

Unlike previous times!

It is going to be my offense versus your defense.

If you could stood up and not give up for the whole 3 hours of the training.

You'll be victorious.”

Sebastin. ”...So you mean we can only use our defensive technics?”

Heracles. ”Yes!”

Beazly. ”Oh God....Here we go again.”

Heracles. ”I am not going to take it easy on neither of you!

I don't care about broken bones and ruptured muscles. Protect yourselves and your companions at all cost!

Is this understood?”

Heracles isn't messing arround. Everybody got the message.

”Yes Sir!” They all replied.

Wasting no time, Heracles rushed towards the closest target...Which happened to be Beazly himself.

But Oumad noticed seconds before and teleported him away.

Heracles launched a series of fire balls right towards the place where Oumad intented to transport him.
