Nikolai Sleptov vs. Robert Blake

[Mortimer Skeeter]

Ah! And here were the professionals. No doubt they had no trouble recalling the usual rules, and were keen to be off. Morty gave them each a polite nod before announcing, "Mr. Sleptov to begin, please!"

@'Odira Potter' @'Henry Berkwood'

  

[Nikolai Sleptov]

At this level of proficiency, Nikolai knew better than to underestimate any opponents that he might fight. It was with a wary eye on Blake that he bowed to his opponent before casting a simple—if silent—disarming charm.

@'Robert Blake'/@'Henry Berkwood'

  

[Robert Blake]

Robert cast a shield charm.

@'Odira Potter'
@'Elias Grimstone'

Blake was fast with his reflexes, and faced no ill-effects from Sleptov's attack.

"Mr. Blake takes the first point, and may cast next," Morty said, gesturing at him.

Nikolai: 10 | Robert: 11
@'Henry Berkwood' @'Odira Potter'

  

[Robert Blake]

Always good to know he wasn't going soft. Robert cast a stunning spell next.

@'Odira Potter'
@'Elias Grimstone'

  

[Nikolai Sleptov]

Nikolai cast a shield charm, verbally this time.

[Mortimer Skeeter]

Once again, Mr. Blake pipped the Hogwarts professor to the post, and the shield charm was unable to block the Stunning spell. Once Mr. Sleptov was revived, Mortimer announced, "With two rounds, Mr. Blake wins the duel!"

Robert: 15 | Nikolai: 13
