Head for the Dueling Court

While Keira's offer is tempting, you haven't been able to get Parisa out of your mind since peeking into her fantasy. You Hastily excuse yourself and make your way to the dueling court. By the time you arrive, a large crowd of about three dozen students have gathered around the court's perimeter. They're all out of their regular uniforms, instead wearing shirts imprinted their houses' crest, the boys wear loose grey pants and shorts while the girls wear tight black spandex pants or shorts. You politely make your way through the crowd to see Professor Schwartz at the center of the court introducing the duelists for the opening exhibition. Two students stand in full dueling gear, consisting of form fitting body suits and protective padding around the chest, back, shoulders and joints. The duelist in the black uniform is Lucas, your senior and the president of house Cerberus, opposing him in the red uniform is a slender but well endowed Asian girl from Phoenix house introduced as a senior named Misaki. The round begins much like your own duel with Harmony, with house points being wagered as the contract.

Schwartz mediates as the match gets underway. The Cerberus boy immediately launches a volley of shadow spheres that crash down around the Phoenix girl. The spheres hit the ground, exploding into clouds of smoke, Misaki dodges the attacks with ease. As Lucas catches his breath, Misaki uses the opening to launch her own attack. She summons a crane made of pure fire. The fowl flies into the air and begins circling the arena. Lucas keeps one eye focused on the crane as he readies his next attack.

Until finally, Lucas lets his guard down just long enough for the crane to ambush him. There's a collective gasp as you all see the crane's profound beak pierce the Cerberus boy's chest from behind. His sphere shatters and Misaki emerges the victor. A thunderous applause breaks out among the crowd, with the Phoenix students cheering especially loudly.

As Schwartz explains the tryout process, you make your way over to Parisa who is standing alertly in the front row. You admire her tight bum in the short black shorts as you approach her. Upon seeing you, she gives you a weary smile and immediately returns her attention to the professor. You try to speak with her but the professor begins pairing the students for the tryouts. Parisa is immediately paired with a shaggy haired Pegasus boy who can't be more than a half inch taller than her. You're annoyed at not having been paired with Parisa. After nearly all the other students have been paired, the professor calls your name and pairs you with...
