Y49 Dueling Match #5

[Professor Adorah Zumwalt]

@Mania Athanasiou @Angelo Dela Cruz

Adorah had never been one for dueling. She still struggled to process how she had let herself be recruited to help proctor, but here she was, trying out new things since Noel was gone for the year. The professor stood near the platform as she looked at the two young duelers and gave them a soft smile. "One of you go to that side and the other over here. You'll bow and then start. The person who wins will advance to the next round. Begin!" she said, making sure she was out of the direct line of spells - hopefully.

Out of Character:

The duel begins now. You have 24 hours from this to post your first reply, or face disqualification. Once both duelists have posted, you will have 24 hours from your opponent's post to reply, or be disqualified. Ensure that you use the spell list for guidance on age-appropriate spells, and read over the dueling rules and points system. Please also remember site rules apply, including power/god modding. You can find the site rules here. Duels will run until there is a winner or until 6 IRL days have passed, in which case the winner will be chosen by RNG. If you are knocked out or otherwise disarmed/incapacitated, or if you run out of points, you will lose and the duel will end. Have fun!

Spectators are allowed to post in this topic once per competitor's post, but are forbidden from directly interfering with the duels. Duelers cannot cast spells at the spectators or face disqualification.

Angelo wasn't quite sure how this worked. He probably should have watched last year's. His conclusion was that this was just like class? Which was nice cause he was up against Mania, and she was pretty cool. So he bowed and then start? How was he supposed to start? Er... "Do we say ready set go?!" he asked his opponent, still bowed.

Mania was quite excited for the duels. She'd watched a few of them last year so she felt ready today. Her first opponent was Angelo, she liked him he was cool and she was pretty sure Finfin liked him and probably the other way around if she was thinking harder on it. Bowing to Angelo she heard his question and looked at the professor. "I think we bow and then start like this, Stupefy!" She explained casting the spell at him. She felt a little bad since he'd asked a question but at least she was showing him right?

"Wha- TEKA!" he yelled as he dived out of the way (more like plopped) like this was some poorly made action movie. What happened to ready set go?!

Only after seeing Angelo’s reaction did Nia’s brain start working. He’d asked if they said not if they got a ready set go (or more like Faye had read it wrong..) The second year grimaced and stared at her friend instantly feeing bad. “I’m so sorry, I heard you wrong. Are you okay Angelo?” Poor boy had asked if they could do a ready set go and she’d just fired at him like this was some drive-by.

Angelo shot his thumb up with his free hand up in the air. Phew! That was close. “I’m okeeeeeh!” he called out as he stood and dusted himself off. Well he did just do sort of a belly flop so he ached a little but he was fine otherwise. “Okay! Game!” he said jumping up and down to shake it off. “Readyyyyyy seeeeeet,” he said—this time with Mania thank god they were now in the same page! “Go! Protego!” because nuh-uh he was not going to get caught by her spell this time. HAHA

Mania stared at Angelo, a little blankly, blinking at least twice as he blocked the…. Air around him? She looked around her, a little stunned trying to figure out if she was hallucinating. “I- uh I don’t think, you are supposed to fire a spell at me and then use Protego when I fire at you.” She tried to explain. Since she had nothing to block she fired another one. “Stupefy! Now you block and then fire at me!” Hopefully he’d get a spell in, otherwise Mania would take it to herself and teach the Hufflepuff step by step later how to duel. Not that she was any better at it.
