Chapter 27: 1970 World Dueling Championships VI
A continuation.
Rabin with a smile replies: "I will try to teach my son martial magic so that he will follow in my footsteps and train to become stronger, and maybe bring my son to compete next year."
"It will certainly be a great family tradition and the audience will surely welcome young Patil" says Arman
"Thanks friend, Námaste!" says Rabin
Rabin can be seen clasping his palms together and slightly bowing his head and back, clearly it was a form of farewell to the Indian.
Arman imitates him "Námaste!"
Even the public dismisses him shouting "Námaste", you can see Rabin walking off the platform with his recovery team from medibrujas, healers and potion masters, clearly Rabin was sentenced because he already saw potions coming after potions, by his recovery team who were concerned about their health.
"They are ready for more!" shouts arman excited.
The crowd in the stands roar in a cheering cheer "we're ready, we're ready"
Arman says "our next fighter is a very powerful lady and witch, champion of various magical competitions, it is my pleasure to introduce you to the Bulgarian dueling champion, Ekaterina Krum née Valkov",
The crowd roars ovation as there were many Bulgarian fans in the audience "Ekaterina, Ekaterina, Ekaterina"
From the entrance of the participants, you can see walking a woman with white skin, young between 24 and 25 years old, with straight hair and black eyes, with beautiful facial features, with an strita look, serious, moody and angry, wearing a beautiful dress Victorian turquoise with extravagant designs in silver, with loose and straight hair, he carries a fan in his hand and in the other hand he carries his wand. You could tell from her gait and etiquette that she was a lady of a noble house.
I think this woman is the mother of Victor Krum, that guy who participated in the Triwizard tournament.
"Ekaterina, how do you feel?" says Arman
Ekaterina says coldly "Stop wasting time and announce my opponent so we can start."
Hahaha, that's what you get for gossiping Arman and that girl Krum don't like to waste time. I kept watching, not wanting to miss out on the fun, or rather poor Arman's misfortune.
Arman stared at Ekaterina thinking of something.
The audience in the stands was laughing and booing our beloved host Arman.
Ekaterina, as if her intuition was activated, asks with vigilance: "You are thinking of something rude, right."
Arman as if his life depended on it, he denies it and says "of course not, I was only thinking about how to present your opponent, haha".
The audience in the stands cried with laughter at Arman's misfortune
Ekaterina coldly says "You better, because otherwise you could be affected by some unknown spell or enchantment."
Arman has been sweating cold, as the woman in front of him was relentlessly vindictive and quickly says "of course I didn't think of that."
The audience was still laughing at how comical host Arman looked.
Hahahaha, this Arman boy is regrettable, the only reason I don't get bored with these tournaments is because it makes me laugh to see him being so pathetic.
Arman quickly introduces "The next participant, is a witch who is participating for the first time in the world dueling championship and give a strong welcome to the champion of Greece, Persephone Raptis, nicknamed" the witch in red "a loud applause.
The crowd roared ovation "the Witch in Red, the Witch in Red, the Witch in Red" clearly the witch in red was someone famous in the world of dueling and had a great fanaticism especially witches, the nickname of the Witch in red was it. They awarded because he always wore red.
Oh then the Red Witch also appeared, certainly she is the only one who is in the fifth stage and could give me some challenge. I will have to see.
At the entrance a tall woman walks proudly, with beautiful features, braided black hair, tanned skin, with a cocky look as if everyone were below her, from about 35 to 38 years old, wearing a beautiful very traditional Greek kavai , for those who do not know what it is. It is a set that includes a red tunic, hand-woven and placed on a kind of red shirt. a black belt and in her braided hair she wears one decorated with wild flowers. When he reaches the platform, he watches Ekaterina smile in a slightly sinister way.
Ekaterina sees her smile and says "you better give up your bad intentions, witch."
"haha, so far I have not found an adversary worthy of mention, I came to the world competition because they told me that there is a smug magician and that he does not know the immensity of the skies and declares himself invincible" says Persephone.
Sorry for knowing no limits to my arrogance, but this brother is trying to make a legend around here.
Ekaterina raises her fan up to her mouth so that they don't see her mocking smile, as she is caused by her opponent's ignorance and says "Well, if you win until the end, you will be able to observe it for yourself and know why they call it invincible. Although we generally always call he "The Tyrant", since it is the diminutive of he other nickname as a bounty hunter magician ".
Persephone realizes that her opponent is making fun of her, thinking something like (This witch is request a good beating) and with a provocative smile "Oh she seems very informed and why don't you enlighten me".
"I'll tell you, but if you beat me" says Ekaterina with a smile:
Arman who was on the side, saying nothing since he did not want to be the target of these crazy witches, who seemed like they were going to kill themselves at any moment takes a little courage and says "To witness this fight our dear referee Aberforth Dumbledore" .
Aberforth walks up to the half platform between the two ladies and says "I want an honorable and fair duel, you can only win the duel by stunning, wounding or your opponent surrendering and you cannot kill the opponent, it is understood."
Ekaterina and Persephone answer "Yes"
Both competitors present their wands, in keeping with the tradition of dueling. They turn around and walk the ten steps, then they turn and look into each other's eyes with great battle intent.
"When the bell rings the duel begins," says Arman.
Ting, Ting.
Both witches simultaneously cast the spell <Depulse>, both spells collide and then dissipate, however, Persephone shows her experience and casts the spell <Expelliarmus>, Ekaterina sees the spell coming and counterattacks with <Depulse>
The audience in the stands watches with excitement and suspense, watching every move the two powerful witches make, as no one wants to blink and miss it.
Again both spells collide and dissipate, Ekaterina casts a transfiguration spell <Avis> and casts the spell <Depulse>, Persephone observes the flock of birds and the other spell hidden among the birds, showing her dueling experience, quickly takes a small rock with his wand around him and throws it towards Ekaterina, but before he goes very far he adds the spell <Engorgio>, the small rock becomes a monstrous and huge rock more than 10 meters high and wide.
The audience in the stands is surprised by such a demonstration, since they had never seen anything like it before, and they immediately concentrate to see what Ekaterina will do
Ekaterina watches in amazement how simple Persephone cast a spell, as if ...
