CL Prince among the Duellists PV

Vladislav had nothing better to do than to attend a duel. After all, he might as well show that Koldovstoretz was truly the champion, and if anyone else dared to contradict that, he would aim for them next. Cut the head off a snake, and it doesn't regrow right? Might as well end any thoughts that they were superior to the school of dreams.

That was the only reason, asides from his upcoming duel soon, that he would put himself through the torture of attending the schools. Listen, if anything, if he could give people he court flowers and not get punched in the nose, he wouldn't hate Hogwarts, now would he?

Memories shared all lie in the box that sat in the corner of the room in his brain, serving like an attic that was full of memories that he wished would never come out, and the one he wished would stay in a box in his brain would've been the humiliation he was subject to the last time he came to Hogwarts.

"Who the hell are you?" He asked, attempting to make himself sound disrespectful, so hopefully people could treat him as if he had the cooties. No one needed to interact with him. One humiliating event might lead to another.

It was summer, the sun was shining, and it was clearly the perfect day to hex a group of twelve year olds. In all fairness, they had volunteered for it. Dressed for the occasion, Dee was wearing simple clothes; a jeans and a shirt, old things that she wouldn't mind too much if they got set on fire, and that didn't add any more bulk than necessary to her silhouette. She was well aware that she'd only walk away from this if she made sure that the wildly cast spells that were sure to rain down on her soon didn't land; quick on her feet she was, very robust she was definitely not.

She eyed the four kids lined up before her, then winked at Raizel. The two had faced off before, and Dee was... well, no, she wasn't surprised that Raizel had decided to join this little exercise. It seemed entirely in line with her usual habits, and at least this time, she had backup. But Dee wasn't going to go easy on them, either; last time, she'd stuck to simply casting Flipendo at the first year, over and over again, this time... she was ready to flex her magical muscles.

Dee hummed at Aryaan's introduction, then paused and snorted at the description. A little torn whether she should feel complimented or insulted, she decided to play at the latter. "Monstrous?" she called over to him. "Hey, if you'd like me to kick your butt too, you could just ask." But Aryaan wasn't done yet, either, and the next sentence had her twitching in surprise, then laughing. "Oh hell no, I'm not ready for that. What I am ready for is setting a bunch of children on fire." The grin she directed at her 'opponents' was wide and toothy, yet edged with something... almost predatory.

One of the kids - a foreigner, she didn't think she'd seen him before - seemed particularly confused. And sullen. He didn't even specify who he was asking. A raised eyebrow, a cocked head, and Dee flicked her fingers in his direction. "What, are you lost, little boy? There's still time to leave, you know."

But teasing aside, she hadn't come to play, she'd come to win. Even if it was against a horde of children. So Dee tied back her hair and rolled her shoulders, then angled her body to the side, slipping into a practiced stance, before nodding her readiness to Mahoutokoro's champion. The plan was made... pending execution.

One last pull and Maila's bright red, signature Converse were tied. A bright smile sparkled on her lips, resembling someone that is constantly amazed by the things surrounding them. Her curly hair was tied up in a bun, a couple strands of hair framing her face. She stood among the other "Duellist", listening to the older Boy, that was hosting this, talk about what they were going to do. It was her first unofficial Duel. Maila was not scared. This was going to be super fun. Four young students against one that had some experience on her shoulders.

Maila sent a particularly friendly smile at the older girl before letting her eyes flow over all of the other students that stood here. She didn't know any of them and as far as she was aware, none of them attended Durmstrang. She didn't mind. It was a perfect day for a little duel like this. The sun was shining and the birds were chirping up in the trees. The young Student was dressed accordingly, in simple shorts and a t-shirt.

It did not take long until it was time to position and although they had not yet done so, Dealla seemed ready. Maila took out her wand too, slipping it from the belt loops on her pants. She had found that it was easiest to not constantly carry this wooden stick in her hands and what was better than to stick it in her muggle pants belt loops? Surely there wasn't a better solution to this. Getting ready, she pulled up her shoulders and straighten her back to get in a position where she could attack but also evade. She was ready, she just hoped the other young students among her were too.

Whenever there's a dueling game, it is most likely that Raizel would be there if she finds it interesting enough that is. This Gryffindor had taken quite a liking to the said sports and during her first year, she had participated in a couple of games although most of them didn't exactly turn out the way she wanted to but hey, that's just part of the journey.

She's expecting for the same thing to happen here. Why? While it may be a 4v1, they are dueling against an experienced duelist and someone that she had met before and, you could say, had experienced her strong magic. Then again, that was far from the true strength that she possesses. That was merely just her shooting Flipendo at her and couldn't hold a candle to a true dueling experience against. That's the only reason why she agreed to do this duel, to see the true skills of Dealla Prince if she doesn't hold back on them.

She doesn't care about who her teammates are for this game as long as it allows her to duel against Dee. Heck, she doesn't even know them. People from different wizarding schools. Same goes to the one moderating it but she won't lie, he looks like a cool guy and his blunder with his speech made her snicker. Fun.

Raizel stood there among the other participants, dressed in a plain red and black hooded shirt, jeans and sneakers, loosening up her arms a bit, hoping it'll help with her spellcasting considering that's where it usually goes wrong along with her aim and focus. As for spells, she knows a couple from advance reading although she hasn't practiced them that well just yet so, she's expecting a couple of failures but she'll try not to fail that much, not just for her teammates, but also for her own pride.

"Setting us on fire huh? That seems fun." Raizel spoke up with a grin on her face, feeling the excitement already. She could tell that the older student is ready to go all out on them and she wouldn't back out from that. "Kind of agreed with our host here that… the seniors are kind of monstrous but heck, guess that's what makes them cool and interesting to face off against." No, only a mildly insane student would try dueling one of these 'monstrous' students. The gap between them is large enough for the duel to be a one-sided one. Good thing she isn't exactly what you call 'sane' when it comes to who to challenge or spar against.

Action: As Owled

Role-Playing as Angelique Selemine Second Year | Koldovstoretz | Broom Racer

The young Broom Racer had arrived onto the scene, giving all her teammates and Dealla a cheery wave.
"Hello! Dealla, I presume? And Raizel, Maila and..." She paused, trying to think of something nice about him... "Vladislav." She gave the moderator a friendly nod too before Angelique quickly positioned herself on one side, the same whizz of excitement running through her as she entered a duel. She had been a duelist once, but soon found out that it was Broom Racing that was her passion. But she still enjoyed having a fun duel for old times sake. And this one was going to be even better, because four students were facing a talented Hogwarts duellist.

She tried to remember any dueling spells that would come handy. Even though it looked as though four students could easily win against one, she didn't feel so sure. That was a fifth year, older and knew much more spells than them. Still, it wouldn't hurt to try. Though perhaps it would.

Her wand in her hand and a concentrated look on her face, she was eager for the battle to begin. It seemed that several others weren't, or more precisely, Vladislav didn't want to. He was sulking in the corner.

━━━━ SUMMARY ━━━━

Right from the get-go, this duel is on fire! Everyone's casting spells like there's no tomorrow. There's this Hogwarts kid who's pumped up about being lit on fire, who throws this advanced wind jinx that I'd never seen before; but it backfires and conjures a wind affecting her own buddies! Talk about an unexpected start. But the action wasn't over.

The sullen boy and the smiling girl teamed up against firing spells at her in complete sync. Next up, the French girl came in with a classic knockback jinx. But Dee shows immediately how scary she can be; she's not phased one bit sidestepped the spells like an she was predicting their every move. And she was only getting started too.

Dee unleashes this crazy torrent of water from her wand, and it splits into two streams. One goes straight for the wind caster, and the other almost hits the French girl. I've seen my fair share of after-class duels, but man this is on a whole new level. It's mind-blowing! And I'm pumped!

"Yo no worries guys, no worries. That was a great start, keep at it." He couldn't help but call out. "She's just trying to get you guys to wet yourselves of fear. Or something."

Vladislav had a look of disappointment circle his face. Talk about disgusting how he couldn't manage to get the bloody bandana blindfolding spell to land on his target. But then again, why would he succeed? He wasn't nice- or well- wasn't kind. There was a saying, what goes around comes around, as well as what you put out always comes back to you.

So, what if he was nice? Would he potentially blossom from positivity?

Sure, Dealla was his current enemy, but he needed to test a theory. Does being nice grant boons with the gods or does it continue to throw you down into a deep hole with a failure of success?

"Hey," The American started, "You're doing pretty good." He tried to think of other things to say, but struggled. Finally, something he'd never thought he'd say rushed out of his mouth. "And you pull off the look pretty well. You look stunning."

Gross. That was too kind. But did he appease the gods? Will his next casting be as beneficial as he was hoping? He had nothing better to do than to plead in his head that he didn't just make a complete fool of himself.

He prepped himself for the next move.

The duel began and Raizel could already feel the adrenaline pumping. She will admit though, she is nervous on how this duel will turn out to be and surely, it’ll end in another trip to the hospital wing. Dee is powerful enough to take them all down, that much she knows. Still, she’s not gonna let herself get intimidated and fight on until she’s down.

No mercy. Right, Dee isn’t that kind of person. Gotta give it her all on this one and what better way to start it off by getting out an advance spell that she hasn't even mastered. A reckless decision perhaps but her intrusive thought of trying out a new spell got the better of her. Dueling, of course, can be used as an excuse to simply cast spells against others and for someone who loves spellcasting like her, there is no way she’d settle for old ones. She’s the type who would try her luck on advance spells to satisfy herself.

“Ventus!” A spell she had seen in the dueling stage but seems like she had underestimated the power of this wind spell, completely throwing her aim off due to her unpreparedness and to make it worse, almost hitting one of her teammates. Luckily they were nimble on their feet. “Oooooh, my bad.” Raizel chuckled with a sheepish grin. Her bad luck doesn’t end there though as she found herself right on the trajectory of a spell that Dee just casted. Pressurized water hit her hard, making her tumble backwards and found herself soaking wet from that. “Oh that’s unfortunate…” The Gryffindor uttered but she simply shook it off, looking at Dee. “But I’m still in this!” She could still take a couple of hits but she sure hopes she could avoid the next ones.

WC: 300/200

Deep breaths, eyes on your opponent, mind focused, shoot your spell. Maila's dark eyes seemed to light up with fire as she controlled her breathing and the duel started. This was no different than any old official duel -well there weren't really spectators and it was four against one- but the rush and adrenaline soaring throughout her body and mixing in her blood were still the same. There was a certain high to the feeling of just tasting the magic on your tongue as you speak your spell. The enchanted feeling of the magic running through your veins. The feeling of power and success. The Durmstrang student had always felt the need to prove herself and here she was, doing so. No matter if it was in the muggle world or the wizarding world, there was always a certain point where Maila wanted to feel on top and with Duelling, with showing her ability and worthiness, she could feel exactly that. Her team mates casted Obscuro, Ventus and Flipendo. Maila herself casted Steleus. The spell shot successfully out of her wand, tingling in her fingers but Dealla was just too fast.

To Maila's surprise, the spell of one of her own team mates -a Gryffindor girl- redirected and shot straight at her. Being caught of guard, Maila barely made the jump, avoiding the hit by inches. That would not have been fun. Her heart was racing as she looked back up, a slightly distressed expression on her face. The other girl however, chuckled and shot her a grin. Maila could not help but smile back and slightly laugh. „No worries.” she grinned, before refocusing on their opponent. Her spell did hit someone. Maila watched as Raizel got hit by a wave of water. Angelique, the french girl, barely evaded. So far so good. None of them had hit the older student and no one was injured but at least they had been successful in releasing a spell. This was fun.
