♡ sparkles can do a lot, it seems ♡

Thankfully, both of their spells had done well, Lea seemed to be focused and calm enough to hit with a great amount of accuracy. A great way to start off! Until she was blinded by some green sparks, trying her hardest to blink them away. Now she knew how Zykeal probably felt during their first duel in which Lea would send him a barrage of sparks.

Frost already had not so great vision, glasses that sat on her face showed that much, but still, she blinked rapidly as if it was doing much to recover her sight from the bright sparks.

Begin was the word that caused a spur of motion, arm already moving to cast her spell. The nice thing about reading some new rules was that it offered time to think, calm down, and prepare. And it seemed everyone else had used the time similarly. Her vision remained long enough to see her spell begin to fly before cloth covered her eyes. Whether their spells had worked remained unknown to the young girl, but that gave only more incentive to continue forward.

The round would naturally have less going on with only two of the duellists in a position to cast, but that did not mean it wouldn't be eventful. Lea and Delilah would both hurry to remove the swaths of fabric rendering their vision useless, going as quickly as they could while trying to remain aware of their surroundings with their other senses. Because, of course, blindfolded opponents made for easy targets.

Frost would attempt to use this to her advantage, targeting Delilah with a Levitation Charm. The cast was magnificent, as impressive as the excellent aim of Lea and Delilah the round before, but the sparks were doing their job well and she just couldn't be accurate enough. To her credit, it was also a stunning dodge from Delilah, who despite a lack of sight must have heard the spell coming from a mile away and kept her balance perfectly as she spun out of the way.

Robert had a similar idea, though the execution was even less successful. Somehow, despite being the only one without trouble seeing, his spell didn't go towards Lea, and not even to Frost. No, it went flying at his teammate. How that had happened was anyone's guess: maybe he'd been distracted by Delilah's lovely dodge? Unfortunately, Delilah could not pull off the same feat twice, the fact exacerbated by her having no reason to expect the spell to come at her, and was hit with the full force of the wayward Knockback Jinx.

Though not as impressive as the previous round, this one had still shown the skill of the duellists. And despite his disastrous aim, Robert was the only one who had hit this round, though he might not consider that a good thing. Nonetheless, Lea and Delilah were back in the game and Frost would finally be able to blink all those bright spots away.

This round was much quieter than the last, until she got hit in the side by a spell, quickly pulling off the blindfold that covered her eyes, she looked at each of the people around her, and going by the look on roberts face, guessed that something had went wrong. She was alright though, and quickly got prepared for the next round.

Interacting with @Delilah Stewart, @Frost Cira, and @Lea Hirsch

Robert's eyes widened, visibly shocked, as his spell veered off course and hit his teammate. It was a fluke accident, nothing that he could have controlled, but that didn't make his shame or self-berating feel any better. "I am so, so sorry, Del!" he exclaimed, horrified by what he had done.

Her sense of sight lost, panic bubbled up as a hand quickly yanked the blindfold away from her face. Thankfully she hadn't gotten hit by any spells during that time, although it seemed something had happened on the Ravenclaw side of the dueling block. Whatever the case, there was no time to dwell on it as her sight was returned and the duel continued.

Kind of disappointing to have missed with a spell cast so nicely, but that was okay. She and Lea had been doing okay so far, hopefully none of Lea's spells would accidentally hit her or vice versa. Frost readied herself for the next round, raising her wand. Maybe this time her spell would land.
