Dueling Club

Ronyo found himself a bit worried but also incredibly excited about the revival of the dueling club. He had only been able to join the last one for one term after which Tamara had graduated and the club had not been reformed. Now he could have another avenue to improve his dueling skills and become even stronger. It would also help to break the wall that now hampered Ronyo’s fundamental focusing techniques. The emotional block was proving to be an odd opponent as it was obvious in its appearance but difficult to find a weak spot on.

Coming to the courtyard Ronyo saw Belle and Marina which put a smile on the boy’s face. Ronyo was beginning to learn more and more about Belle as the years went on, her enjoyment in Quidditch and now the dueling club showed someone else than how she tried to come off in her younger year. Now Ronyo would get to see what base skills Marina had as well when it came to dueling. After all if he was going to be handing over the responsibility of the Chimera club to Marina and the other three they would need to be able to defend themselves and others. The other one there was Darius, one of the first years who tried out for the house team. It would be good to see how he faired here as well; it seemed he had a few antagonist of his own already.

“Hope I’m not late, good to see everyone. I hope you will take it easy on me, don’t beat me up to badly now,” Ronyo smiled as he chuckled at the joke, one that only a few would have understood, “This is a great spot to hold the club Belle. Dueling with the outside weather conditions is a great addition to help teach people. Once I gets colder everyone will have to focus more, and when it starts to warm up they will have to not be distracted by the nice weather."

As Ronyo looked around he suddenly realized that only Belle likely knew about his wands. It would interesting to see how everyone took to his duel wands, and he might even get a chance to practice some wandless and silent castings if things went well. Depending on the other students who showed up Ronyo would get the chance to duel multiple people and see how he faired against different styles and different techniques.

Out of breath, Leo scampered up to the rest of the club. He could tell it was the right place, since an older Slytherin boy, Ronyo had just concluded teaching a first year the expelliarmus spell. The blonde boy had been preoccupied with homework, and had run all the way here, knowing he was late.

"Sorry I'm late." He announced to no one in particular. "Who's the leader here?" Timid as always, he barely was able to glance around the space before staring at his shoelaces. Leo didn't like people, but he wasn't here to make friends. He was here to learn, to practice, to excel. Dueling Club was one of the few adventures Leo attempted without Amanda along. He hoped it went well.

Fire Wearing

"What? Oh yes I do. I forget sometimes that the new students don't know about this yet. The short story of it all is both wands picked me you see, their cores are synchronized to each other because of the animal that gave the essence piece," Ronyo spun and held up his right hand wand, "This is my Ash Wand, a male unicorn gave his tail hair for this one, and he is the daylight garden of an ancient forest, "Ronyo then spun his left hand wand and held it up, "This is my African Blackwood, a wolf gave its fang its core and is the nighttime guardian of the same forest. You see the two animals are guardians together, so they are a team much like my wands and I are now. It's taken me my entire school life to learn how to control them both and believe me it has not been an easy road. Ask my professors, I've destroyed more desks, chairs, and lamps then I can count from one wand firing instead or the other or both firing when I didn't mean for them to."

Ronyo laughed a bit as he thought back to his earlier days at school and his attempts at Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts classes. He almost hit a couple people with his rogue spells, and did some weird things to his poor chairs with transfiguration spells. He also remembered the first time he got them to work correctly and then got them to work one at a time. He felt he could truly use his wands to protect and defend others once he was out of Hogwarts. With just two more years of practice and lessons Ronyo believed that he would have proper control of his wands and be able to give a couple bad guys a real surprise one day.
