Emily Leopard rebounds and beats Fay.

"Hold!" the Tutor says. "The duel is over, wands down."

Still dizzy, using your willpower to hold down a stomach full of angry butterflies, you survey the dueling pit.

Emily Leopard is standing. Fay is sitting, incongruously, flat on her bum. Emily holds her wand. Fay does not.

"Leopard, lower your wand," the Tutor says.

Emily Leopard blinks and looks at Preston Sharper.

"The duel is over, Leopard," he repeats. "Lower your wand unless you want another disqualification."

Emily snaps out of her spell and lowers her wand. "Yes, Tutor," she says.

There's a sigh from the onlookers beside you who were holding their breaths.

The Tutor nods. "Emily Leopard, you are the victor in your second round bout. Allow Miss Hornbeam to attend you. You will face Miss Woodbine tomorrow."

Preston Sharper goes to attend Fay. You recognize him working through a well-practiced pattern of magical first aid -- quelling active spells, scanning Fay's aura, balancing her energies, and augmenting lacks with enhancements.

"I turn Miss Applebum over to you, Woodbine," he says. "She should be fine. Don't keep her up late."

You take Fay back to your room.
