Knockout 2

*Here is the extra chapter I promised for the PW*

As soon as I touched the portkey I was sent here, this place looked like a forest with a small hill(very small) at the side. So, we have to fight in this Terrain, it's a bit concerning when I don't know where she will come from, I think to myself. First, let me get on high ground to have a terrain advantage. I looked around trying to find a tree or a place with a good visual range of the whole place.

The only high place that has a visual is the hill on the side of the stage. 'She must also be thinking about getting terrain advantage or finding me out from high ground'. So I should stay alert at all times, she might jump out of nowhere. I cast an 'evanesco' on myself, slowly I vanished leaving only the sound of my footstep behind. I slowly crouch towards the hill, the hill has a plain land of sorts at the top kind of looks like a small stadium. I can't help but think this was done on purpose to lead us there and have a fight.

'Homenum revalo', cast Anne the moment I reach the top. This revealed my location and removed the invincibility on me. "You were expecting me, huh, thought something like this might happen. Jeez, what a pain and here I thought I would defeat you sneakily". I said getting a dry laugh from her.

She transfigured the rocks turning them into small, sharp come shaped structures, 'duro', she reinforced the cones with a hardening spell. The second they got near me she used 'reducto' which made all the small structures blow right in front of me. I was safe as I used 'protego' which shielded me from taking most of the cones head-on. " Don't you think we should at least introduce each other?". She looked at me like I am an unsolved puzzle piece she isn't able to understand, "Anne Badeaux", she said after staring at me for a long time. " Abraham Sanyu, see that wasn't so hard was it? now don't start throwing spel.....". "Stupefy, obscuro" they were coming straight towards me, I appariated and dodged the stunning spell 'stupefy', and cast 'riddikulus' which turned the oncoming binding spell into a flock of birds. I quickly cast "incarcarous" which binds your target with a rope and "tarantallegra", which makes your leg go 'fuzzy', as I didn't want to be bombarded with spells again. Damn, this is going to be more harder than I thought, she dodged all the spell and countered them with her own and now was coming straight for me.

The match is at a stalemate, for now, both of them are equally skilled and has huge experience which they are displaying in the field. So unless someone does something new or surprise their opponent, they probably won't be able to finish the match. It's going to be at a stalemate until then. I made an excuse and went to explore ground 2, this was where Gurmit Singh and David Linn was fighting. From what I have heard the stage in ground 2 is ice. This doesn't really give many options during a fight, rather only a few spells can be used to fight which won't melt the ice. I am both interested and intrigued as to how they fight with limited options.

On my way to ground 2, I notice one of the men from the weird group that we bumped into. He kind of looked like he was going somewhere, from the direction he was going it seems like both of us are going to ground 2. He was acting cautious and looking everywhere as he proceeded towards ground 2. To my surprise instead of going straight which leads straight to ground 2 he took a sharp turn which leads to the exit. The next thing surprised me even more, the moment he went through the exit it looked like he vanished. I quickly followed him and went through the exit, the exit had a layer it seems. It makes the room after the layer seem normal which is what happened here. Now here I am in some unknown huge room with multiple pathways. I see the man going through the pathway num5, or at least that's what written beside the pathway. So, I quickly followed and went through to find a long dark tunnel where light could be seen at the end. While I was going I could hear strange noises of animals and groans of man. 'Is this a zoo or something', I think to myself. The tunnel kept getting brighter and brighter as I reach the end of the tunnel. The moment I crossed the tunnel I could see different magical beasts locked up in cages, there were men and women as well chained in the corner. I could recognise a lot of the magical beasts here from the fantastic beast's book, I connected the dots and the answer was right in front of me,' they were illegal slave traders both selling beasts and humans alike ', they are probably being hunted by the ministry that's why Abraham decided to participate in this competition as their undercover agent. If that's the case there must be other Aurors patrolling this area, I should go and inform one of them. As I proceeded to go and inform an official of my findings I could feel my consciousness fading away slowly. I quickly hurried to the exit but couldn't get there on time. " surprise kiddo" was the last thing I heard before I collapsed.

I transfigured the ground and made large spiders and cast "Peirtotum locomoter" which animates statues and gives them basic level thinking. They charged towards Anne and attacked her, she cast "impediment" on two of the spider and freezes them. But the last one hit her in the back which made her fall on the ground "expulso" she cast while falling and exploded the last spider. I didn't waste any time and cast"incarcarous and expeliarmus" which tied her with ropes that grew from the ground. And the last spell disarmed her and she lost her wand-making her unable to fight anymore. "Shesh, that took a lot of time".

" We have our first qualifier, everyone give a huge round of applause for Abraham Sanyu from Uganda".
