Camp '22 Summer Duelling Funtime Extravaganza, Match: 2

Since the stage still blanketed with his previous spell which is the smokescreen, there not much the Brazilian could do at this point. Still, although Ronnie could not see a thing thanks to the thick smoke, does not mean he is not alarmed with his surrounding. Ronnie put out his defensive stance ready to dodge and weave with whatever spell came his way.

But no spell was slung towards him. Better safe than sorry the Castelobruxo kid thought to himself. In the thickness of the smoke, Ronnie faintly hears his Duelling partner cast the healing spell on himself. Perhaps they might have the chance to win the whole thing after all. Ronnie is not sure what to do next. So, whatever Milosh decided for his next move, he will do it in a heartbeat.

ROUND 10

To Nessie, this round looked a lot like the last: smokescreen everywhere. And it showed no signs of clearing yet, so she suspected the next round would look quite similar too. However, despite all the smoke, the duellists were still continuing on valiantly, and she squinted to try to make out what was going on. After all, Nessie had to make sure everyone was okay - a task that at first she'd thought would be quite simple, but that she was discovering was much more difficult considering that only four of the six duellists were still participating.

And a very impressive four they were.

For the guest team, Verona was again trying to dodge a spell that never came, and Milosh continued healing with admirable skill. Nessie wondered why healing seemed to work so much better for the guests than it had for the Gryffindors, but she supposed that was a question she could ponder after the duel, when there wasn't so much to keep an eye on.

Even though the flames, Aurelia cast a disarming spell at Phaedra who was almost able to dodge out of its way, but not quite, leaving the Ravenclaw without her wand for now. As for Aurelia, Nessie felt horrible just watching the painful flames, but it looked like the fire might finally be subsiding.

Milo was waving the smoke away from his face, still unable to see more than a few feet in front or to the side of himself. Although the Fumos was nice, he was about done with it, and luckily so was the spell. It seemed to start to be thinning out, signaling an end to his partner's successful spell. Another round of healing would hit him as he had nothing better to do than conserve himself for the remaining rounds. With the duel nearing to an end they could go out with a bang or stay on the safer side. Either way it was still looking up for their team. Rotating his wrist, and hearing a pop from how stiff it had been made him eager to end the duel. Shifting his weight, he'd brace himself once again for a possible onslaught of spells, brushing his blonde bangs out of his eyes.

Phaedra had to admit, she was not expecting her senior opponent to forgo the heavy flames, nor the scarlet light produced to meet its mark anyway. Comically having ran into its path in an attempt to evade, she endured a forceful chip to her wrist that sent her wand flying. Phaedra huffed, exasperated that she was empty handed once more. Surely, both teams were now just itching to deal the damage she’d denied before, and the smoke clouding her nostrils certainly did not better the situation. The silver lime wood clattered somewhere to her right; if she could just feel around for it…

He never thought his smokescreen spell would be this effective and had kind of a long lasting affect. Two rounds in and the smokescreen still majorly blanketed the stage but luckily the smoke begin to disperse. Ronnie got to admit eventhough it wss hard to see under the circumtences, Aurelia managed to cast her disarming spells at Phae and meet her mark.

"That was impressive,"The Brazilian boy whispered to himself in Portuguese. Ronnie then try to wave the smoke so he can see his surrounding a bit better. Even then it does not mean the blue-grey-eyed boy will lower his defense.

While Milosh casted another successful healing spell on himself, the second youngest of the Ramírez clan put out a much stronger defense even though the smokescreen spell somewhat gives him some security but he can not rely on that spell much longer. The end is almost near and perhaps Ronnie spoke too soon but he can taste his team's victory already.

"Stay with me, mate! I think we definitely have a chance to win this whole thing"He looked at Milosh full of confidence and ready to face the next round.

ROUND 11

Nessie admired the duellists' persistence. Not only was Aurelia still duelling after surviving the fire, but she was continuing her relentless spellcasting at Phaedra through the smokescreen. This time, Aurelia cast a blindfolding spell, but Phaedra moved out of the way. At least, that was what it looked like to Nessie, who was still having a difficult time making out the details of the duel through the smoke.

Milosh was also persistent in his approach, continuing to use the cover of the smokescreen to heal himself, while Verona summoned a storm cloud over the Ravenclaw team's part of the piste. Nessie eyed the storm warily, but luckily for Phaedra, lightning did not strike this time.

The smokescreen was finally clearing, but the duel's timer was ticking down. It would be over soon, so soon that the duellists might only be able to get one more round of spell-casting in before it was over. For her part, Nessie was surprisingly looking forward to the ending; as excited as she was about dueling, the reality of the sport's injuries wasn't settling well with the young Hufflepuff. She'd be happy once no one else could get hurt, although at the same time she was terribly impressed with all the magic she'd seen so far. Duelling seemed scary, but it was also really inspiring.
