“People say that when you meet a Wizard or Witch who perfectly counters your primary element, you will have a great disadvantage over them,” Professor Lionel, the Combat Instructor of the First Years, said. “This is only half true.
“While it is a fact that users of certain elements find themselves in a disadvantageous position when facing someone who wields an element that they are weak against, victory and defeat cannot be decided just because of that.”
Professor Lionel then grinned as he scanned the faces of the students looking back at him.
“Today’s lesson is a battle of the elements,” Professor Lionel stated. “I will pair you to fight with each other, and you are only allowed to use the element you are proficient in. When I call your names, come up here into the arena.”
Professor Lionel then looked at his students with a mischievous smile on his face before he called out two names to duel in the arena.
