Once more, his partners were successful in casting their spells but Kim was not so fortunate. Even though he hadn't cast a spell of his own and had just focused on dodging, he'd still been hit. Jake and Hades had both hit him both double Flipendos. But even though they were powerful shots, the pain that he felt was delicious. Kim was starting to wonder if perhaps he actually enjoyed it a little too much... after last summer, he couldn't help but wonder about this. But maybe it was just all in his imagination. Hades's shot hurt more than Jake's but both felt nice to him. After having regained his balance again from the shots, he glanced over at Julian to find that the boy had finally managed to break out of the curse. A shame. Too bad he hadn't been out of commission for a few more rounds. Kim couldn't help but like dueling but at the same time was still considering whether he could focus on both that and his newest path, one that Haneul had made him think more about. Could he manage to do both? Or would he be forced to choose? Kim looked over at the sidelines when a familiar voice was heard, calling out his name. A faint smile came to his lips as he looked over at Aodhan and made eye contact for a brief moment. Yet another voice also vocally cheered him on, someone he didn't really know but he was glad for the support. The fifteen year old inclined his head to her.

Cassius was by no means a tactical expert when it came to duelling. Sure, he considered himself to be rather good at it; but, he knew he was prone to mistakes. Usually, however, he was good enough to be able to anticipate what an opposing duellist was going to do. He had fully expected the Hufflepuff side to continue their attack on Kim. Instead, there was nothing.

The Ravenclaw moderator tilted his head in slight confusion as he tried to figure out what the Hufflepuffs were attempting to do even as Gryffindor launched a salvo of mostly successful attacks. If this was a new tactic, it did not appear to be working for the badgers as both Hades and Julian were hit with some fairly damaging spells. Hades was miraculously still up and Julian had seemingly finally succumbed to the mucus.

Overall, things were not going well for the Hufflepuff side but crazier things have happened in duels. Perhaps there was yet a surprise to come.

The thing had become quite tense, because they were about to reach in the middle of the rounds, or so Hades believed. He was severely hit by double, by both girls of Gryffindor prompting him to be enormously angry. It became evident because by the time he was to cast the spell, he had no mercy and went straight for Kim. The spell struck in full, and he remained admiring with an indifferent expression, did not even say anything, only evaluating the damage.

During the next round, he was distracted by some reason that he didn’t want to tell. It seemed that Kim wanted to take revenge using the Flipendo, but before Kim, Rose was who threw Confringo, leading him to stand barely but he seemed to be resisting hard. He looked at them with a competitive expression, his whole body tense and ready to fight even if it was the last thing he could do. And he didn’t care if he was going to end up in the hospital wing but he was going to fight.

Nicky was wondering what made the hufflepuff team just stand around, maybe it was some kind of a new tactic to make them let their guard down. Anyway, she wasn't going to let it confuse her and she had no time to analyze the suspicious hufflepuff behavior. She had a game to win and a responsibility to make sure her team would definitely be the most spectacular of all.
RAWR.

Kim's spell hit its target and he was pretty satisfied with the result. At least he would go out with a bang this time. Both his partners also hit their targets too. It was looking good for the Gryffindor side. Even if he got taken out now he didn't have any regrets, he'd done his part and now it was all up to the remaining two. But when he prepared to get knocked out by a spell or three spells coming his way, nothing came his direction. Kim blinked, a little surprised by this. Could the badgers have gone after someone else instead? Nope. They weren't doing much of anything for some reason. Maybe they were trying to regroup or something, take a breather. It made sense. They were pretty knocked up. Well. It seemed as if the badgers had indeed surprised him. But Kim didn't count on it happening a second time in a row. This next round he was sure he'd get knocked out. But the badgers had given him a silver lining, he'd be able to get one last shot out at them before he was taken out himself. Quite a nice gift. He'd have to thank them later. Kim took a deep breath and let it out slowly, calming himself down to focus to make his last spell go off without a hitch. He had to admit this year was starting off pretty well. Maybe it was all thanks to Haneul and Kibo's influence.

Elsa landed a fire-making spell, and Kim landed a Knock back Jinx. While Rose's blasting curse didn't hit its target, Hades, the blast still seemed to do a little damage anyway. Plus, Rose was just happy she was able to cast it correctly- the blasting curse required more power, focus, and skill than some other spells that came naturally to her, so it was satisfying for her practice with the spell to be paying off. Either way, all three Gryffindors shot spells towards their opponents, but strangely... none of them tried to cast anything back that round.

Rose blinked as she realized this. That was weird. Were they giving up?

Jake cursed himself as he gripped his wand. He had thought he was over freezing up in a duel. But things had gotten off to such a bad start, Hades had taken so much spellfire, and Julian had hit the ground - although his friend was on his feet now he still looked pretty…out of it. Jake hoped Julian wasn’t concussed or something. Sure with magic it was easy to undo that kind of thing, but it still wasn’t pleasant. All that to say that when it came down to it, Jake hesitated, trying to think of his next move until it was too late. He was a captain…he couldn’t let THAT happen again.

He turned back to his opponents, determined to make up for it before this duel was through

Was Julian having the worst possible duel? He was convinced of it. To be fair, Hades was likely having a worse one, but he was too out of it to notice. He'd gone from being barely able to breathe or move on the ground to making it on shaky feet and still being unable to do anything but focus on not passing out, wand hanging uselessly at his side.

It was just great.

The duel continued with heavy attacks from the Gryffindor side looking to capitalize on their advantage. Both Rose and Kim targeted Hades who, perhaps sensing he was the next target given how shaky he looked on his feet, cast a solid shield charm which caused both spells to dissipate upon its form.

Smart, Cassius thought to himself. It was likely that either spell, had it hit, had the potential to knock the boy unconscious.

All was not defense for the badgers. Jake managed a partially successful knockback jinx upon Kim who was also looking a bit shaky. Meanwhile Julian was still having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Though he had recovered from the debilitating effects of the previous spells, he was now on fire -- in two places! Poor guy.

Somehow everybody was still up although at least two were looking much worse for wear after this recent exchange.

Kim was hanging on by a single thread, or so it felt like to him, and yet still no one could manage to take him out. Could it be a strategy of their opponents or had he just escaped their notice? At least he was able to get his bearings about him as they had given him some breathing room. How nice of them. But then, just as he thought this, a Flipendo came racing towards him, courtesy of Jake, and just barely struck him. If he'd been given more time he might have avoided.

It hadn't been a hard hit but Kim was barely hanging on by now. Yet somehow he still managed to cling to consciousness. Perhaps it was his newfound desire to live that had kept him on his feet, all due to Haneul's influence. Aodhan's cheering, along with a girl he didn't recognize, made him feel a little bit more centered too. If he was cheering for him, Kim couldn't let him down, right? He was his junior and he had to set a good example for Aodhan to aspire to be like!

Julian wasn't looking too good and neither was Hades but Kim was in the same state as them too. It was only a matter of time before one of them or all of them ended up knocked out. After all, it only made sense that it would be one or all of them. But then again, maybe the duelists would surprise the audience and end up doing exactly the opposite. You never knew what would happen during a duel until it was all over. Well, until it came down to the last few rounds that is.

There were many ways to win and also many ways to lose. The beauty of a duel was that the tides could turn at any point in time as long as there were enough rounds left to do so. But what would happen next in the battle? Who knew? Those who watched might be on the edge of their seats, wondering what would happen during the next round for the duelists. Kim let his eyes flicker over Hades, Julian and Jake. Who would he target next? Who would be taken out?
