Chapter 51.5- Doom Days

She twirled in space and then sent a spell at a seemingly random position. of course I knew that if she had made it this far in her duelling career then years out of practice or not, there would be nothing random about that position. her opponent must have thought the same as well as he began working even harder to end the fight. Bhattacharya was a powerful wizard— there could be no doubt about it. Th way he chained spells that should have drained a lesser man with little to no hesitation spoke of an innate power that most would dream of and few would ever gt to witness in person.

Jones on the other hand was almost impossibly quick. She applied a spell on her shoes and then pointed her wand at different points both along the floor and in the air. She ran from the spells sent her way until she reached one of the points that she had to have wonted out in the beginning.

It sent her shooting across the space, flying past Bhattacharya himself and landing with a perfect roll. He turned with her planning to catch her offgaurd, but Jones was not so easily dissuaded. He sent a spell she turned to the side to avoid the worst off, the cutter still. Managing to cut deep into Jones’ arm, going so deep in fact that I was certain it cut to the bone/

Regardless, she bore the pain well, moving to the side even further to avoid the next spell that was sent her way before she sent a stunner at her target. Bhattacharya did not even react. Knowing full well that it would sail past his shoulder, for the aim was no better than any of earlier spells— lulling the man into a false sense of security. Except that the spell seemed to hit something in the air and reflect itself straight at the Indian. Bhattacharya never even saw it coming— the spell that took him out of the fight. The stunner hit him and a second later., he was down for the count, out like a light. Good. But how had she done that. It wasn’t the barrier. I had mapped out the edges of the barrier already, and that wasn’t even close. Not close enough to reflect a spell with such power. It had to be something Jones had caused.

Probably those spells she fired into the air. It was interesting, that she could use spells to alter the direction of other spells was nothing new, but using g a spell that essentially reflected another spell while remaining invisible all the while. How the hell was that even possible/ the first spell had to remain active all the time. How was she splitting her focus between all of them and still ale to duel so well?

“In a stunning reversal of fortunes, Jones is the one that comes out victorious, snatching victory from the grasp of defeat. She gets her revenge for five years ago, and she is rightfully celebrating. Go on Miss Jones, you have more than earned it.” Julian Blianchi stepped back on to his platform again.

“Is it just me or did that feel a bit too hot for comfort?” He asked, exaggeratedly fanning himself with his hand. He got titters from he crowd for the joke even as I found it a bit flat.
