When Theo's so-called 'rest', which was more so him just waiting for it to end, ended, he started the trials again.
The new branch hit the ground before the beetle reached the third marker even though they had progressed so much.
Theo caught it before it bounced toward the insect, then gave it the return command making the beetle climb onto the shaded box and it remained there with its wings folded.
"Time?"
Elias looked at the small pocket watch in his hand and spoke the result while Clara wrote the result beside the previous one. The timing was shorter but it was still not something that could be useful yet.
"Let's let it rest," he spoke.
They had found an unused patch of ground behind the training enclosures. It was flat enough, and the walls stopped most of the wind from reaching the course.
There were four markers along the dirt, an empty box at one end and a branch whose weight was heavier than the usual.
