Chapter 22 - Duel Tournament Starts (1/2)

”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]

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.
