FACE TO FACE (PART-5)

Shannon ran to her parents and asked. 'Dad, was it Veronica's trick, or is she really gone.'

Shannon still doubted whether Veronica was gone for the rest of the year or if was it another trick. 'I think this time you defeated her.' Mahesh answered. 'You no need to see Veronica for a few months' time.'

'For a few months only.' Shannon asked intimated.

'I think you are ready to fight her again.' Melvin said. 'You defeated her with a simple 'thunderbolt' spell.'

'And exactly when did you learn to do double incantation confusion.' Ron asked, folding his hands. 'Last time I remember you were not able to get it right.'

'I wasn't.' Shannon said, then coming near Sapphire she said. 'That is until I got a good teacher.' Sapphire roared in reply.

'Then, I would also like to learn it from this great teacher.' Ron said, coming near Sapphire. 'Will you.'

'Sure, little boy.' Sapphire replied with her head held up in pride.

'A little boy.' Ron asked, not looking satisfied. While the rest of the crowd laughed.

'Who is this, little girl.' Sapphire asked Shannon.

'This is the famous Roberts Philp Ron.' Shannon answered in a sarcastic manner.

'I see.' Sapphire said. 'So, you are not a little boy.' Hearing that from Sapphire, Ron looked up at everyone with a radiant smile. 'You are an arrogant little boy.' Sapphire completed.

Ron's jaws dropped on hearing it. This time the crowd laughed out more loudly.

'Ron, I think Sapphire can understand exactly from your face what you are like.' Alen commented. 'Ron, you always put yourself in trouble.' Arjun added.

'Mr Milward and Mrs Winson.' Mrs Merlane said interrupting. 'Sorry for the interruption on this joyful talk but may I know exactly what was going on in here? And why this thirteen-year-old student of mine was fighting a dangerous criminal Veronica as well as Volt.' Then going near Shannon's parents, she continued. 'And why are both of these faces looking so familiar.'

Grace interrupted, 'Mrs Merlane.' She came and stood in front of Mahesh and Smitha. 'I think we all deserve some rest. The students as well as the teachers really deserve it. After the historical fight, which just happened in our academy premises now.'

'No,' Mrs Merlane shrieked. 'Grace, I have seen both of them before. But I am not able to recollect where exactly.' Then pointing at Smitha she added. 'Especially her.'

'Mrs Merlane, Light is a vast place.' Grace continued but Mrs Merlane interrupted. 'No grace you are not understanding.'

'Aunty.' Matilda said looking at Smitha, with a worried look.

'Maybe it is time.' Melvin completed.

'It is definitely, but I think of doing it. After the meeting with the mentor.' Mahesh answered.

Mrs Merlane said in shock. 'Mentor.'

'Mrs merlane.' Matilda said coming near Grace and Merlane. 'I think Grace is right. You really need to rest, right Grace.'

'Absolutely.' Grace replied.

'No.' Merlane said. 'I want to know where I saw them.'

Observing that Mrs Merlane was not going to leave without a proper answer. Smitha answered. 'Mrs Merlane, we have definitely met. And I can assure you it was not a short meeting. It was not, a short meeting to forget easily.
