Duel Tournament Starts

"Alright," Professor Flitwick said as he pushed a chalkboard that was at the side of the room. "There is a lot of space in this room so there will be 12 matches at a time which means that everyone will be dueling. I have an enchanted chalkboard here that has everyone's name on it. When you win, you will be receiving a point so 11 in total if you win everybody. Whoever has the most amount of points in their respective year will be the captain. I will explain what the role of the captain is at the end of the duels,"

Professor Flitwick stepped back and Professor McGonagall once again stepped forward.

"Here are the rules of the duels. You cannot use seriously injure someone. If it was an accident, you will be let off. However, a majority of the teachers have to say that it was an accident. If you taunt anybody and get injured, the votes will most likely go against you and be deemed an accident. You may not physically attack someone. If the other person surrenders, you must not attack them or else, you will be forced to leave the club. There are also other obvious rules to keep like not interfering with anyone else's duel. Finally, this isn't a rule, but is important to remember," Professor McGonagall said. "As people who have none to limited dueling experience, use this opportunity to get the feeling of dueling. Even though it isn't the same as actual dueling, it's quite similar so getting experience here is beneficial. Are there any questions?"

Chris raised his hand.

"Yes Mr. Evergreen?" Professor McGonagall asked.

"How do we start the match? Are we starting at the same time or is there some other mechanism?"

"I will see that everyone is ready. Once they are, I will start the matches. Are there any more questions?" She asked.

No one raised their hand.

"Alright the chalkboard here is enchanted to not only keep track of your score, but to also choose who goes against who," Professor McGonagall said. As soon as she finished her sentence, the chalkboard that was once empty was now filled with names with 12 rows and 2 names side by side every row.

Chris was about to see the chalk board, but the System quickly interrupted him.

[You have a new Quest. You must defeat everyone and become the captain of the Dueling Club]

Quest: Be the Captain of the Dueling Club

Captain Role: 0/1

Reward: 1 Galleon and 1 random offensive spell

'Hmm.. the system was never this general with the spells given. Well then, I suppose it should be good,' Chris thought. He looked at the board and saw his name in the middle.

Chris Evergreen (Ravenclaw) - Se-yeon Sung (Gryffindor)

Chris saw Se-yeon already on the other side of the room. He walked to where she was and stood 2 meters away from her.

"Let's have a good duel," Se-yeon said as she took out her wand.

"I have always wondered how strong you were. Yes, let's have a good duel," Chris said as he took out his wand.

When Professor McGonagall saw that every student was ready, she raised her wand up high.

"Students start!" She said as she let out a red light from her wand.

"Flipendo!" Se-yeon immediately chanted.

"Flipendo!" Chris chanted at the same time.

Even though they used the same spell, the effects were quite different. Chris merely tripped while Se-yeon was pushed 3 feet away and couldn't breathe as if someone punched all the air out of her lungs.

"Rictumsempra!" Chris chanted and a white bolt came out of his wand and hit Se-yeon. Chris learned this in the Grade 2 Standard Book of Spells in the library and while he didn't really practice it a lot, he was decent at it. So when Se-yeon felt like she could breathe again, she again couldn't breathe because she started to laugh crazily.

"ST- HAHA STOP! I- HAHA- FORFEIT!" Se-yeon's loud laughter surprised the surrounding kids.

"Alright, I guess the duel's over," Chris said.

The effect of the Tickling Charm soon ran out and Se-yeon was on the floor catching her breath.

'The spell wasn't a duel-ending spell, but if I didn't surrender, he would've hit me with another spell. I thoroughly lost...' Se-yeon thought as she stood up after catching her breath.

'Can't believe that I don't have any spells to use...' Chris thought. 'I mean the Sense Deprivation Hex can't be used right now. The Professors will question me about it and I can't really answer it. Well then, I suppose, I'll have to make the opponents bleed a little,'

Soon everyone's duel was over and Chris saw his next opponent.

Chris Evergreen (Ravenclaw) - Draco Malfoy (Slytherin)

'Oh, what a perfect person to harm a bit,' Chris thought.

Chris walked away to an empty spot and Draco soon followed. He stood around 2 meters away from Chris.

"So we meet again Malfoy," Chris said.

"You know, I didn't bother researching you before since you never got in my way," Draco said. "However, after that day of teaming up against Potter, I started getting some information. I heard that you're with those 2 mudblood girls. You know if you want to hang out with people, at least hang out with people of your status. Even the Weasleys, who can't even buy a robe without selling their house would be a better choice,"

Chris, hearing the insults, felt like his veins were starting to pop.

"Honestly, Malfoy, you could say whatever you wand about me. I honestly do not care, but you called my two friends that word? I think that counts as a taunt and while I can't seriously injure you, I can at the very least hurt you quite a bit. Alright let's get this duel started," Chris said as he readied his wand.
