2024/25, Stage 1 Ravenclaw vs Slytherin: Match 5

Elisa couldn't prevent herself from frowning a bit at her spell. Her damn Knockback Jinx. The cast was far from beautiful- her hand had wavered a bit and the incantation had not been clearly pronounced. To add on to all that, she missed her target. Again. Elisa had missed when Mylo was quite clearly blindfolded. Could it be that the Ravenclaw had exceptional hearing to the point where they could hear the swish of her wand? Or was it Elisa who had closed her eyes when casting the spell... Perhaps luck just wasn't with her just then. Pushing the thoughts away from her, she focused on the next round. They were three snakes versus one raven, how could they not win?

It didn't sound like Mylo had hit him, what they did hear instead of that was 2 other spells whizzing towards them. One of which hit, and although Mylo had steeled themselves for the inevitable hit, as they now could not see and thus being hit was inevitable, it still came as a shock. One which they would have to shake of and continue through if they wanted to still stay up.

He knew he wasn't badly injured and would probably withstand another hit or 2 but Mylo wasn't sure how much longer they would be able to do so.

After their less-than-stellar performance with the previous bout of spells, things were back on track for Pyxis. Draven had also landed a hit, but Mylo elected to keep their initial blindfold on. Perhaps the wix wanted to go out with a bang, taking the older Slytherin down with him. Pyxis had to respect the gall. In contrast, Elisa had missed again and he knew how terrible that felt. He'd been though many days when things just didn't go right for him, so he nodded to her in encouragement as he readied himself to cast again.

Effects: Knocks the target on the ground requiring to spend a full action to stand up and re-join the duel.

Mylo remained stuck with a dilemma- remove the blindfold and have no opportunity to attack, plus not get vision until next spell cast, or attack and risk the continued blindness in favor of getting one Slytherin down before the rounds were over. It wasn't an easy decision to make, yet Mylo kept firm with their original mindset as their wand pointed back towards where Draven once had been. Only sounds and vague directions from previous rounds would aid in this trial, the guess surprisingly close to where the older Slytherin truly stood. The continued aggressive stand or the precision seemingly startled Draven as he only narrowly escape the line of fire.

Slytherin's strategy remained the same, but they finally found the rhythm they had been missing prior. Each wand rose towards the sole Ravenclaw in tandem, Draven, Pyxis, and Elisa each casting their own Flipendo to pinpoint the opponent in place. Elisa, in particular, sharply cut through the air with a clear cast that illuminated the piste in comparison to the sparks sparking out of Draven's and Pyxis' wands. Together the trio would release their attacks against Mylo, the attempt at dodging all of them without eyesight turning into dodging none of the spells. In quick succession, Mylo would be pushed further back towards the edge of the piste, the final hit knocking the duellist to the ground without any chance of getting back up. Lea quickly rushed forward, loudly exclaiming, "STOP!" She'd take a moment to let the medics take care of Mylo, but it was clear to everyone that this duel was now over. "Alright- The duel is over! And with all three duellists left standing, SLYTHERIN WINS!" She motioned towards the trio, giving each a quick check before addressing them all. "If you have any injuries, please visit the Hospital Wing. Otherwise, you are free to rejoin with the rest of your team and spectate other matches. Congratulations." With that, Lea offered a slight bow of her head before leaving to check on the unconscious duellists while the crowd cheered on their new victors.

SLYTHERIN WINS!
