July 23rd, 1892 — Headquarters of the London Society for the Practice of Combative Magic

Well this was...a choice. The wizard tasked with overseeing some of the children's bouts today had been struck by an errant hex in his first duel, which had left him projectile vomiting slugs, spiders, and other assorted critters—the degree of which would require a hospital stay, rather than the simple fieldwork that the healers present could provide. As literally the nearest adult at the time, Felicity had been tasked with filling in.

Not accustomed to this sort of thing, the healer painstakingly went through the rules of the tournament—was it just her, or was one of the young men present looking particularly impatient? 

After deciding she probably hadn't forgotten anything, Felicity announced carefully, "Mr. Selwyn to begin!"

Best to stick to what he was best at - transfiguration, and after saluting to Mrs Riley, and being instructed to cast, Cad attempted to transform the others suit jacket into a straight jacket, to prevent him from raising his arms to cast.

Leander met the others spell with the disarming spell. Sometimes simple was best but they would see if that philosophy would hold up for this dueling round.

Admire all of you
But fire burns me too
Can't stop that disco getting through
Can't stop that disco wanting you.

The disarming did the trick, and Felicity found herself releived she would not have to play the judge and the healer, at least not in this particular pass.

"The first point to Mr. Hobday, who will begin the second pass!"

Leader was pleased to have won the round but he wasn't about to let his guard down. He cast the jelly brains jinx in the hopes that Selwyn would be so addled that he would end up not properly casting.

Cad was annoyed and attempted to deflect the spell with a shield charm

Felicity made it three steps towards young Selwyn before another healer waved her off—though her heart and body yearned to take over the healing, this was not, in this moment, her duty. With half an eye on Selwyn as she spoke, Fee announced, "Mr. Hobday takes the second point, and will progress in our tournament today. Congratulations."
