Y37 Duelling Match #6

[Katherine Alicastell]

Leading the competitors of the first round to the duelling platform, Katherine gestured for each of them to take up a position at either end, while she herself stepped up to a podium overlooking them. With a tap of her wand in the air, the headmistress pointed the tip at her throat, speaking out in a magically-amplified voice. "Welcome, competitors, to the first round of duelling. As always, the victor of this round will move on to compete in the next, and is brought one step closer to becoming one of this year's duelling champions. Wands at the ready, and prepare yourselves for the duel ahead." Katherine called, giving the students an opportunity to take on a comfortable stance. "Now, bow and commence."​

@Ryan Fisk vs @Leia Hume

Current Points: 150

Ryan didn't think he was particularly good at duelling, at least not yet, but he did find the chance to practice different spells too good to pass up. Bowing to his opponent, he didn't waste any time throwing a jelly fingers curse her way, curious to see what would happen if it hit her.

Leia felt a lot riding on this, she had won last time and was pretty keen to win again. She wanted to do well at a minimum. She bowed to the boy, she was frustrated that she had to quickly throw up a protego and then fired back with a leak jinx

Ryan had never seen anyone hit with a leek jinx before. He was rather curious to see what it looked liked, but he had a feeling it would cut his own chance to duel short, so he begrudgingly cast a shield charm, blocking Leia's spell. "Locomotor Mortis!" Ryan said, returning fire with his own spell.

[Nicole Fisk]

Nicole wasn't a big fan of the duelling tournament. It just stressed her out, especially since last year with Ryan being able and willing to sign up to get spells thrown at him. She knew Leia Hume had managed to win last year and didn't have high hopes for her brother making it very long against a past champion. Ryan was clever, but he was also incredibly dense sometimes and Nicole knew it was just a matter of time before he did something stupid. She just hoped it didn't result in him getting too hurt or embarrassed.

Leia blocked his spell as it rushed towards her, then just casting a quick "Everte Statum," back at him.

Ryan was still thinking through what spells he could try out when Leia's spell hit him, knocking him back and onto the floor. It winded him and Ryan took a moment to try and scramble back to his feet. He managed to cast back a disarming spell as he did, but was unimpressed with how disorganized he was when he finally got back to his feet, back aching from the impact on the ground.

Leia was a little surprised to see her spell hit the boy. She hadn't expected anything to happen so quickly, but she was also rather happy. She blocked his spell and then fired back with a quick, "Incendio,"

There were plenty of spell effects that Ryan was curious about, but being set on fire was not really one of them. He was glad he was able to get a shield charm up in time to block it, giving him a moment to think before he attempted a knee-reversal hex in return.

[Nicole Fisk]

Nicole cringed when Leia hit Ryan with a spell, covering her eyes and peeking through her fingers as Ryan slide across the stage. Thankfully he got back to his feet without more incident, managing to avoid being set on fire as well, which was a small victory. "C'mon on, Ryan," She said quietly, more of a request than any encouragement.

Leia had rather hoped that would be the end of the duel. But it wasn't. She blocked his curse and then sent a trip jinx.

It was disappointing when Leia blocked his spell, though Ryan supposed he shouldn't be too surprised, considering she was a champion last year. Ryan wasn't quite fast enough to block her next spell, trying to step away from it, but ultimately failing as it knocked him to the ground again. His back already hurt, but Ryan was able to at least aim what was likely a shoddy stunning spell back at her, annoyed he couldn't think of anything better or get back onto his feet.

Leia was quite pleased her spell hit and shen blocked the spell that he sent towards her. She followed it up with a stunning spell of her own.

Ryan was still getting to his feet when Leia sent another spell his way. He tried to pull up a shield, but his grip was wrong and he'd not quite gotten the incantation when the spell hit him, knocking Ryan back to the floor for good this time.

[Nicole Fisk]

Nicole couldn't help but gasp when Ryan was knocked to the ground again, and then again when Leia managed to stun him. It hadn't been the most dignified way to go out, but considering some of the hexes and jinxes Nicole had seen around school, it could have been so much worse. She hovered near the edge of the stage as the duel wrapped up, just to make sure Ryan was okay once he was revived. Then she'd leave him be.

 

[Katherine Alicastell]

Katherine raised her hands as the duel came to an end. "Congratulations, Miss Hume, you are the victor of this round." She announced, before promptly moving off to revive the stunned boy.
