@122 Generation "I believe it's time for the magical duels." Ash explainedhas he joined the group in the stands. "The barriers are for the spectator's safety should a spell go awry."
Kiriti grined. "Finally my turn" grabbing his new wand. Whicj he called magical destroyer. "I shall show all of you whst I can do"
@~Seeker of Shadows~ Kirito's opponent for the first round was a young lady wearing a v-necked (with lace-up) sleeveless formal dress made of rose satin and white velvet. She carried a staff made of oiled oak. The staff's head was a small fire agate, which shimmers intermittently with a reddish light.
@~Seeker of Shadows~ The trumpet sounded to start the duel, and the young lady struck first, conjuring thick vines in an attempt to restrain her opponent.
Maria had finished with her peppermint and went on to unwrap a chocolate bar. Evergreen, who already finished some gummies, decided to go for some caramels. Between them, this was a nice piece of entertainment - just watching friendly fights while eating candy. All that was missing was a pie or two. "Want a toffee, Ash?" Maria said as she offered her bag to him. "Or a jelly bean, maybe? I know the Moomoo milk candies are good..."
@122 Generation "No thank you...but thank you for offering." Ash replied. "I'll take some candy off your hands..." Serena offered.
"Oh, okay," Maria said as she offered the bag to Serena. "Lollipops, beans of all sorts, candy bars, lemon drops, mints, take your pick! There's a lot in here to go around!" Indeed, Evergreen helped herself to another round of gummies from the bag.
Serena took a few of each type of truffle--they reminded her of the chocolatiers of Illumis. "Come to think of it, I'll have some of those too." Ash smiled before taking truffles for himself.
Maria smiled as Ash and Serena each took some of the prized chocolates. Sharing was important, and it seemed better with friends, and it didn't matter because Maria had bought a lot of candy (probably out of celebration with her Arbok's Eyes win). While watching the match below, Maria opened a yogurt-wrapped wafer and munched on it slowly. "I should probably reload on candy, honestly..." she said.
Kirito wait it for the girl to make her first move. However instead he started. "Black rhunder dark lightning" as it rained electricity
(I cant find it back. ) After his spell Kirito struggled against it. "You thinknyou can beat me with it" he laughed . Aand with his free hand he slowly made a small fire to burn the vines
@~Seeker of Shadows~ Not one to be deterred, the lady mage tried adding ice to the vines to further slow the flames...
Kirito growled. "Now I am done with you" he felt his heartbeat go faster. "Amaterusu" he called up pointing towards her
@~Seeker of Shadows~ (remember that all combat in the tournament is non-lethal--attempting to use lethal force/spells will get you disqualified)
