The After Training

"Okay, okay, get up everyone. We had our rest. It is time to work," shouted Consuela. Her voice echoed through the training grounds. A collective groan escaped everyone's lips. They stood up moaning and groaning and went near Consuela. Edwina exchanged a last look with Ariadne and they both smiled. They both had a sense of purpose now.

"Start with a run. That will stop you from getting hurt. It will make you more agile," ordered Consuela. The group started with the exercises, and now Consuela started pairing them for the sparring. They were going to start with footwork and avoid their opponents.

"Okay, let's mismatch. Valen, you are with Aaron, Bara with Ari, Ed with Andre, Thor with me, let's spar," ordered Consuela.

Edwina looked at Andre with a smile. She could see him struggling. He was stressed by the physical demands of the training. His movements were slightly hesitant, and he lacked power.
