Fencing and Tea Durmstrang Sign Ups Only

Focusing with more determination now that they’ve been hit, Valeriy prepares themself more than adequately for their opponent’s attempt at an attack. The boy tries to feint, but trips instead, prompting instant sympathy from the little metamorphmagus. They almost lift a hand to help but force themself to stay in the role they’re assigned since the pair are supposed to be opponents. If there were to be any actual harm, of course, Valeriy would immediately stop and see what is needed, but, for now, they reluctantly keep their hands in place.

Luckily, the boy recovers fast, and Valeriy doesn’t have to wait much longer before he’s ready enough that they feel moderately comfortable aiming for him again. Their attack is swift and light, like they’re nervous to hit him, which isn’t far from the truth. They know that he’s being protected from harm by their defensive gear, but it still feels inherently wrong to be lifting a weapon against another person, especially in this somewhat formalised, duel-like setting. Unnatural yellow creeps into their eye colour, mirroring the slight unease that lingers. They squash the feeling as best they can, reminding themself that it’s just a game that they all consented to and no one will be getting hurt.

Emery announces the first winner, casting the amplifying charm, "Well, Arno and Liliya, please step from the fighting area. This is the conclusion of your fight. Arno, congratulations, you have won your match. As a reward, here is an enchanted snowball and a wizarding chess set." As for you, Liliya, perhaps you will like to practice sport some more, I am sure my friend would gladly accept another student, if you so wish. As it seems he is the better instructor in your case, for I did not instruct you well enough to win. "

VALERIY & ALEXIOS
In a brilliant move, Valeriy feints their way towards a perfect strike despite Alexios' attempt to dodge. In fact, because they feinted, Alexios dodges in the wrong direction and is struck square in the chest. In the disorientation, Valeriy attempts to hit again and succeeds just as well as before, damaging their fighting partner's armor.

MAGNUS & VIKTORIA
Erstwhile, Magnus lunges forward in a great show of strenth, and though he succeeds in a clean attempt of a strike, Viktoria manages to change the angle of her stance, just in time. This allows her to strike instead, on the diagonal.

REMEDY & VASILIUS
Now, this is the most humorous duel Emery has ever scene. Remedy attempts to feint and instead trips over her own foot, dropping her epee. This should be the easiest time to counterattack, yet Vasilius also fails to strike her, losing his balance and falling on top of her.

IVAN & BORAM
"It would seem that everyone is attempting to feint their fencing partners today." Ivan succeeds in striking in the direction of Boram, but her cross-step is the most beautifully executed in technique and confidence, Emery has seen in the longest time. Boram slides past his blade with enough time to spare, automatically hitting her partner straight in the chest. The armor simulates a hard hit. It shrivels and flickers, almost shutting off, metaphorically.

EPEE Description

Epee is the type of fencing that is most similar to actual sword fighting as both fencers may win a point. There are no right-of-way rules and legal targets include the entire body, including the head. Out of character, the rules have been played with in order to ease moderation, however, in character, please write as if it is real Epee. The course that I mentioned in character started in March, so it has been 8 weeks of fencing lessons, specifically in Epee. If you are Maroon, you were taught by Emery and if you are Indigo, you were taught by the mysterious suitor.

MODERATIONS

⚔︎

Magnus was honestly shocked when Viktoriya got another hit on him, he knew he wouldn’t be too good at fencing and only agreed to it so he could truly just watch Vasilius win. However that didn’t mean he planned to embarrass himself in front of other Durmstrang students, the headmaster and especially not in front of this demon that stood before him. He honestly never know how anyone could just be in the mere presence of her they would think they have found themselves in hell. Magnus questions just how she and Vasilius became so good at fencing, he honestly thought it was kind of boring. Besides the bruises and small cuts no one would ever truly bleed or cause violence so the game just felt honestly less important or significant but Vas seemed to love it and excel at it so he was extremely proud about that fact too. It seemed someone else was also excelling as they had just gotten the first winner of this fencing match which so no surprise was Arno Dorian. Magnus honestly expected this from him as he seemed good at most things to this could be just another hidden talent up his sleeve. He focus his attention back on Viktoriya as he honestly hadn’t expected her to get another hint and now was no longer to banter with her.
