Chapter 31: World Dueling Championship 1970 X
A continuation
Hello friends, how are you doing, here Max is your favorite protagonist and there is little left for me to start my turn. Some are impatient, but as the saying goes, the best is saved for last!
Public of excited shout in ovations and they said "Elauterio, Elauterio, Elauterio"
When probing him with Legilimency I saw what he was thinking of (This old man with flashy clothes and with a happy smile, he was ruthless) thinks Arman and with emotion he approached him "Mr. Elauterio, how do you feel about winning"
"Haha, this old man, he feels very happy to have won" Elauterio replied, clearly he was very excited to have won.
"Lord, how do you feel about the changes the grief community has undergone?" asks Arman
I knew this gossip boy is back. I can only hope the old man is brief and I kept watching.
"Oh this old man, think and believe that things are looking for the better. Since the profession of duelist is becoming accepted in the world and it is a pride and honor for me to say that I have never felt so much admiration for the wizards and witches of my own country" Elauterio replied with emotion.
"How so sir? Could you explain a little more?" Arman says trying to get the old man to explain a little more.
"You know that be duelists was a very poorly paid profession in my time, since a wizard or witch uses duels to fix their differences or kill themselves" Elauterio replied, but he also said "Duelists in many countries are not well received, since most people have the misconception that we are barbarians and that we only think about solving our problems through duels "
It's true, I agree with his words and I kept seeing the old man speak.
"How could you overcome it, sir?" asks Arman
"Over the years I was forced to work in many professions, but I always kept practicing my skills and competing whenever I could," Elauterio responds.
"How was he forced to take other professions?" Arman asked since many participants always evade the question
"Well that's for, hmm, I'll tell you young man. How do you know how to be a duelist or a master in magical martial combat, in times of war we are well received in every place where there is a war and in times of peace we are seen as plagues and almost nobody wants to give us jobs" Elauterio answered seriously but then said "At least that was until the young Maximillium promoted the duels worldwide and made it one of the highest paid magical professions in the world"
Oh you flatter me old man, flatter me, hahaha. I kept watching
"How did you find out about the changes?" asked Arman
"Oh this old man, he has three grandchildren who are my biggest fans and they told me about it, although I'll be honest my family never looked favorably on my efforts as a duellist. Since he always had very little money to live on and how sometimes I get injured in some duels" Elauterio replied as if he were thinking about past events and says "But the world changed suddenly for me or thanks to the young Maximillium, since at some point I could through the duels bring well-being and fortune to my family"
"Well, I hope you are still winning sir" says Arman
"Thank you young man, I hope so too" says Elauterio as he fights and raises his hand in the direction of three young wizards who apparently were his grandchildren.
However, the audience thought that he raised his hand in victory and roared in ovation "Elauterio, Elauterio, Elauterio."
Public could observe that Alister was being carried on a stretcher, clearly he was asleep from magical exhaustion or unconscious.
"They are ready to see another duel" says Arman trying to raise the ovation of the public.
Oh yes, I am ready, as he watched every movement of the platform and the audience.
Of course the public was already very excited
"The next participant, is the new dueling champion of France and give a strong welcome to the beautiful Mrs. Apolline Delacour" says Arman excited
From the entrance you could see a tall woman, blond hair, light skin, blue eyes and a pleasant and not demanding aura. With an attitude she what is wise and intelligent and is also very pretty as she appears to be half candle. She wore a simple Vague dress from the period in purple, with her hair tied back.
The excited audience shouted "Apolline, Apolline, Apolline"
Arman who couldn't wait any longer appeared near her and asked her "Miss Apolline, how do you feel about participating in the championship and being one of the 16 strongest participants in the world this year?"
When probing her with Legilimency I saw what she was thinking of (with determination Apolline, you must show your skills to the coven, so that they allow you to have children and so they don't get more involved in my decisions) Apolline thinks and says in response with a smile I love I feel excellent to be here! "
Oh what lovely thoughts, her being the mother of the Triwizard Champion Fleur Delacour and I certainly hope she can achieve her goal, if she can't I will help her from the outside. I kept watching and listening.
"Great, I wish you good luck!" Arman says trying to limit her conversation with this half candle.
"Thank you!" Apolline says with a smile.
The excited audience shouted "Apolline, Apolline, Apolline"
"Now, our next participant from the United States, Mr. Jack Ducan Hammer," says Arman.
What, that man also came, I thought he had retired and I think this time he came well trained. It is almost in the fifth magic stage. I will continue to see the fun.
From the entrance of the participants, you can see a tall man of about 2.10cm, blond hair and blue eyes, a dominant and authoritative trait. Robust and muscular build, aged 30 to 35 years. And he's dressed in a gray business suit, but without a tie and some buttons on his shirt unbuttoned and he looked very casual.
Approaching and seeing his opponent, Jack says in a low, high-pitched voice "Oh for Merlin, an easy win!"
He's still so arrogant, like when I met him and nothing changed
"We'll see about that!" Apolline says seriously.
I will certainly agree with Jack this will be his victory, that guy is a tank and is very annoying to defeat. I kept watching.
The crowd in the stands was booing him, clearly supporting their champion with all their hearts.
"Oh don't get me wrong sweetness, but I have traveled so far to fight Max and without offending you, but you still lack experience in this dueling thing" says Jack confidently as he looked in my direction it was clear that it was a hint for me.
"Oh that we'll see!" says Apolline irritably
"Hahaha, I see that you don't believe me and it's fine. As you are a beauty I will not be hard on you and let you attack me 20 times, and I will not evade your attacks" says Jack confidently and smiling.
Shehe, she seems very confident, it seems that her turtle mode has evolved.
"Now to witness this match, our dear referee Aberforth Dumbledore" says Arman excitedly.
Aberforth walks up to the half platform between the wizard and the witch and says "I want an honorable and fair duel, you can only win the duel by stunning, wounding or your opponent surrender and you cannot kill the opponent, of course."
Apolline and Jack answer "yes / yes"
Both competitors present their wands, in keeping with the tradition of dueling. They turn around and walk the ten steps, then they turn and look into each other's eyes with great battle intent.
"When the bell rings, the duel starts," says Arman.
Ting, Ting.
Jack says smile "<Protego>. Now you can attack me 20 times, beautiful"
A translucent sphere could clearly be seen around Jack. The public did not expect that this crazy contestant would endure 20 attacks, just to please her champion French.
"Well, if that's what you want, then this lady will not be polite and will attack you with all her arsenal of spells" says Apolline seriously, but when probing her with Legilimency I saw what she was thinking of (this idiot, I don't know who it is believed it is, but I am going to attack it with all my power and let's see where its confidence goes).
"Go ahead sweetie, attack however you like or when you her feel ready" says Jack confidently
Certainly this turtle guy, he's gotten more irritating over the years and I already want it to be my turn to crush him with <bombard>. I will keep watching
Apolline could no longer tolerate Jack's arrogance and immediately points her wand at Jack and casts the <Bombard> spell.
The spell hits the translucent sphere powerfully, but as if it were nothing, the translucent sphere remained without any fissures.
Oooh, that's how he reflects it and defends himself from spells. It's pretty interesting and it's a very cheeky stunt. I'll keep watching.
"Wow, your first attack isn't bad at all, but you'll need a lot more power if you want to break my Protego and beat me," says Jack clearly he was doing it on purpose to annoy his opponent.
Apolline fiercely and fiercely casts six spells in a row <Bombard> <Bombard> ...
