Welcome to Gaia! ::

The blows from the lightning blades had caused Remy to flinch but not enough to allow for a full follow up. She had avoided the lower hits spinning correctly away from Ronyo as he struck. The Gryffindor seemed shaken but was also still willing to keep going apparent by her sudden volley of spells. For his lower standing Ronyo had to move quickly spinning while still on one knee and then performing a kick and sideways roll in the air to avoid the powerful full-body binding curse. That was one spell no one wanted to be hit by in a duel, it was basically the non-lethal equivalent to the killing curse by the way it made the opponent completely unable to fight back.

Landing on one leg and spinning Ronyo was still getting his balance as the stunning spell slammed into his chest, his shielding wards holding but clearly showing they had been depleted of their use with that last strike. The hit pushed Ronyo back several feet on the ground as the binding ropes manifested in the air to begin their motion of wrapping. Still holding his lightning charged wands the white haired detective slashed out in an X pattern cutting the ropes and sending them both to his side. With a heavy breath Ronyo stood straight and chuckled a bit but feeling his side stiffen up from the repeated hits.

"That was beautifully done Remy. The dragon was my setup move to cause distraction and misdirection, my close in blades," Ronyo held up his wands as he dismissed the magic, "were my real attack. You my dear are the first to avoid the full assault from them. Most wizards and witches in these days have no idea how to regard a melee attack in any form. Our wands and long distance magic spells give make us forget that we are still in a fight not just a duel. The difference between a fight and a duel is usually obvious but remember one thing my friend, in a true fight against an enemy they will try and kill you." Ronyo smiled as he pointed towards the girls stomach, the target of his electric blades, "I struck you as I did to push you into your true defensive state, the moment in which you are truly trying to defend yourself not just send spells back and forth to see who is the better. That feeling you had when you launched your assault on me at the end, that is the energy and the spirit you should have whenever you duel someone. Always fight to your best, even against someone you think you can easily beat. Never underestimate anyone because you never know what they might do when pushed," He flexed his body a bit still feeling the final fleeting effects of Remy's stinging spell, "Also remember this, just because you hit someone with a spell in a fight does not mean you just gained the upper hand. Pain is the factor that is not pushed in competitive dueling or in any school related defense classes. Your stinging spell was well timed and well fired, but I pushed past the pain it caused to fight on. A spell that causes a symptom like the stinging one should be followed with a dangerous spell that maybe is not aimed at the person. Something to make them move and cause the symptom to be felt stronger rather than give your opponent time to find their grit and fight on. Aside from that I am still wondering why you think you need help. I truly love giving extra pointers to anyone who wants them but so far I'm not seeing a fault for a witch your age. I would say don't be afraid to try stronger spells in different ways. I used Reducto and Difindo in the duel, but did not point them at you. However against a dark wizard feel free to point at them with such spells," Ronyo chuckled a bit then looked at the girl with a raised eyebrow, "anything else, would you like to go again, or maybe try running the Auror challenge with me?"

Ronyo did find himself feeling bad for being a bit rough with the girl, but reminded himself that it was better for him to do it than have her suddenly confronted by someone who would wish to kill her. As Ronyo listened to the young Gryffindor talk about her apparent lack of skills and lose of her Defense class Ronyo just chuckled. Even more so when she suddenly launched an attack on him with a nice combo. The blindfold wrapped around Ronyo's eyes and for a moment he worried about his next action, but this was not the first time Ronyo had fought blindfolded.

The wizard dropped low to the ground knowing the blindfold to be a set up spell, and also hearing the other two being called out. Without his shield ward Ronyo could not take a direct stunning spell hit anymore. The two spells sailed over Ronyo's face, their energy radiated as they passed, and the detective quickly fired off a rapid series of stunning jinxs, one after the other alternating from his two wands around the area Remy had been standing. It was one of his trademark moves at this point, he used it for covering fire to help move into a new position or gain some time to think. As he let up the volley of spells he smiled knowing the girl would not be downed by random fire.

"This is not defense class and this is not a duel Remy. That is the biggest part I am trying to convey. There are no points or scores here, no fans or referees to catch something foul to someone cheating. Here there are no rules."

Ronyo vanished from his spot on the ground and appeared on Remy's left, the blindfold still on. Ronyo was feeling Remy out now, using his own sense of smell and hearing to help determine the girls location. His training in China was coming into play again, looking to push himself beyond normal means. Ronyo vanished again and appeared to Remy's right, but vanished after only a second once again. The detective appeared and disappeared at quicker rates around the ring, a few crimson droplets feel a few times from the small splinches caused by the excessive use of the spell. Finally Ronyo appeared just behind Remy his wands at his side.

"Anything is fair game."

Seeing Remy turn to ask if he was alright only made Ronyo chuckle as the young girl once again showed her heightened senses. Her concern was for the blood now apparent on Ronyo from his apparations, a technique he was still working on to perfect. He was getting better but not until he could perform the rapid movements without causing a splinch would Ronyo consider the idea mastered, but for now it worked just fine. Ronyo did take the healing potion offered knowing he still had small wounds from his earlier attempt at the same move.

"Thank you Remy but I have fought with much harsher injuries. Sometimes to push yourself you have to be willing to take a bit of pain. I imagine you know that truth better than most people. Your sense of smell and hearing are much sharper than even my own, I have pushed my senses to about as far as they can go for a human I believe. You have the ability to go even beyond my skills if you work hard enough, but know that your higher senses, while one of your greatest strengths can also be a great weakness. Be aware of things that could overwhelm your senses or cause them harm," Ronyo vanished with a smile and returned to his starting position, "also be aware I could have fired on you from each of the moments I reappeared, my style of combat is highly unorthodox but I fight to win and protect those around me. Now would you be willing to go one more round? This time I don't want you to hold back at all, don't think of me as your friend. I am your opponent and your goal is to incapacitate me, which means I must not be able to counter in any way for you to win. Do you accept this challenge?"

Ronyo was glad to see the girl up for the challenge. Unfortunately for her she started the match off with the one spell he was well prepared for. Considered it was a favorite of two interesting people that he was never sure if he was going to have to fight or help at any time. Ronyo apparated just a few feet closer like a charge but the sudden change in distance would help in the coming actions. Ronyo ran towards the fire and at the last moment cast Flamma Frigus. The spell turned the blazing golden ribbons into cooling vapors that Ronyo past through without harm. Once on the other side the white haired detective snapped his other wand out and fired off another of his new favorite spells.

" Levitas Offendo!"

A bolt of lightning flew from Ronyo's wand and hurtled towards Remy. The electrified bolt arced a bit as it flew through the air but not as strongly as some of Ronyo's other electric spells. This one was designed to be more accurate than scattering, along with the electric boom it gave once it hit something. If the ceiling was not in the way Ronyo could try out one of his other spells but he rethought that idea considering what it had done to the dark masked wizards at the circus.

The detective had not expected Remy to be hit by the electric blast, he had not even aimed it well so she could scatter. Being a spell that not many had ever seen before most of the time the shock was enough to work in the wizard's favor. As Remy got up Ronyo could immediately tell something was different, her emotional state had changed. The waves coming off the girl were of anger and rage not of someone just upset for being hit and ready to fire back. Her shoots came in fast from hand and wand alike, fired in furry.

Quickly Ronyo thought to through up his electric shield but he hesitated. Instead he vanished backwards the gain more ground on the oncoming spells and fired both wands into a large shielding charm around him. The four spells slammed into the magical barrier with enough force to shove Ronyo back even with the shield spell up. Staggering from the powerful blows Ronyo looked to Remy with eyes of worry, he had never seen the usually kind girl in such a fit. Her spells had been full of energy, but there was not focus or control just pure raw magic being directed.

"Remy...what's wrong?" The only thing that had been different had been his lightning spell, could that have been it, "I've done something, your eyes are looking at me like I look at dark wizards. Tell me please, what's wrong?"

The three spells slammed into the shield with powerful force. Ronyo had not noticed the devastating choice of spells she had fired either, all of which would have done series damage had they hit. At the sight of the young girl dropping to her knees and the look of horror on her face Ronyo found he just acted. The wizard apparated, his wands falling to the ground in the process, and appeared next to the girl and wrapped his arms around her.

"Remy I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Talk to me, I don't know what just happened, but I know it was my fault. Tell me what it is and I won't ever do it again," Ronyo held the hug on the frightened girl but let her do any thrashing or beating she felt necessary but did not let go.

It had been the lightning bolt, the blast had enacted the girls fight or flight response from the terror she felt at the element. He had an idea as to the meaning, the loud sound coupled with the odd smell of atmosphere being ripped from the powerful bolt. Ronyo did not let up his hug while she rambled or asked about how he was, for that was the least of the detective...no the girl's friend worries.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know you had a hatred for lightning. I won't ever use the spell around you I promise ok. I'm fine Remy, you didn't hurt me," He smiled a bit not letting go but bringing the girl to a bit of length, "but I tell you what, I felt those hits through the shield. Even the stunning jinx which doesn't really have an impact force gave a push. I tell you what girl those spells hit harder than mine do now, I might need to take some pointers from you," He gave the girl another squeeze in the hug as he chuckled a bit trying to get her aware from being upset.
