Y49 Dueling Match #8

[Professor Adorah Zumwalt]

@Amory Raven @Ruth Thorne

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.

Amory felt ready to take on the duels this year again. Last year he'd lost but if he was being honest his loss was the fault of the platforms not his... His first opponent of the day was Ruth, coincidentally the one he'd also lost to. Bowing at the girl he grinned. "A rematch? That's nice, was hoping we'd get one. I promise to lay off the creepiness this year." In his pinion he and Ruth were now friends, she'd helped him in the water balloon fight after all. "Stupefy!"

In all honesty, Ruth had considered not even entering the tournament. She'd won last year (well half won, really) and now felt a sort of pressure to succeed. She hated expectation. It meant she couldn't slack off as she'd have much rather done. They could all look at Cyrus instead, then, because he was the golden boy. But here she was, and she just had to try not to let people down.

Ruth really wished she could just focus on entertaining rather than actually winning.

"Are you still gonna flirt with me, though?" She teased, putting on her best smile. "Maybe you've gotten more charming since last time." She quickly blocked the spell, and responded with an antler jinx. That would be charming...perhaps just not in the way she'd meant, though.
