Everyone went silent and just watched the Beast on the ground. No one dared to jinx this by asking aloud if it was all finally over.
Still, they got their answer when, with a deep growl, the Bullcroc returned to its feet, shaking off whatever pain it still felt from Aurelius's spell.
The exercise was not yet over and things seemed back on track but Lea Gilligan frowned.
This was not a development she hoped for or wanted. And as talented as she had heard Aurelius to be, this was not what she had expected him to be able to achieve.
What if he had more of those kinds of spells in his arsenal?
Lea believed strongly in her picking the Bullcroc and its defences should still remain far from what anyone in the class could break past but she couldn't help but be (for want of a better word) nervous.
