"So tell me. What do you expect to get out of this fight?" when the face off between Jason and Laura Jensen started, Laura Jensen asked.
"You guys challenged us. We're just fighting back." Jason held his lance forward and answered: "And it should be our question for you."
"I didn't challenge you. Taylor's my brother, and I am here because I had to support my family." Laura Jensen glanced at Jason's lance and nodded: "So you don't have your own weapons… may I know why? I heard you're not entirely from the civilian world. And I heard from some of my friends in the Hellbruck House that you are quite the capable fighter."
"So word travels." Jason was not sure what Laura Jensen's game was, but he still maintained his cautious composure: "Are we gonna do this or not?"
"Just a moment." Laura Jensen sighed and reached into the inside of her robe, then she took out two wands, one that was made of some kind of wood and the other seemed to be made of some grey metal. Then she threw the wooden wand away and sent it outside of the ring: "That is my wand - my grandmother made it for me, she was one of the best artifact makers of the world. It was not restricted by the rules of student duel but it is still quite powerful.And this is already not an honorable fight, I don't want to make it more unfair. This is my practice wand, it's basically the same with the ones in the academy armory, just more durable. "
"That's so nice of you. But you don't need to do that." Jason shook his head.
"I've made up my mind. Let's do this." Laura Jensen held the metal wand in her hand and pointed it at Jason.
"When you're ready. You could start." Professor Barnes reminded them from the side.
"Careful." Laura Jensen warned Jason, then shot a small light blue energy bolt at Jason.
Jason was ready and he just side-stepped to get out of the way and unleashed a silver shadow of the tip of his lance. Laura Jensen floated backwards and parried the shadow away with her wand.
Jason stepped forward and unleashed a few more jabs at the direction of Laura Jensen, shooting high speed silver shadows of the tip of his lance at her. And Laura Jensen maneuvered her wand, launching small energy blasts to counter the shadows. After around the tenth shadow, Laura Jensen lit up the tip of her wand and threw a ball of lightning at Jason.
With a sweep of his lance, the ball of lightning was sent to the side and crashed against the protective magic array, which was there to protect the audience.
"So the guns your friend used came from you." Laura Jensen smiled: "Very meticulous constructs - you should take some course in our house - Martin House. We'd appreciate talents like you."
"Thanks." Jason chuckled: "But let's get this over with first."
"Agreed." Laura Jensen's eyes started glowing in light blue, her whole body was surrounded by a light blue aura and she floated in the air: "Heads up."
Sensing that his opponent was casting an immensely powerful spell, Jason concentrated his Xuanli on his lance and swung it forward. A crescent-shaped silver energy blade shot through the air and was advancing at Laura Jensen at great speed.
Laura Jensen pointed her wand forward, a blinding lightning bolt was unleashed from her wand, clashing with the silver energy blade within a close range from her in the midair.
The clash between two attacks caused an explosion that even shook the stance of Professor Barnes and the protective array around the ring. The silver energy blade disintegrated in the clash, while the lightning bolt was split into several much smaller bolts and redirected to different directions, and all of them ended up hitting the protective array around the ring.
Having paid no attention to the explosion behind him, Jason rushed to Laura Jensen's right side, with his lance raised up high and in a downward swing. Two silver shadows of Jason appeared on both his sides, with their silver shadow lances swinging down at the same time.
A light orange sphere energy shield was conjured at the last minute by Laura Jensen, using two rings on her index fingers from both hands. The two shadows completely dissipated when their attacks landed on the shield, while the lance in Jason's hand was completely broken from the impact.
The energy shield exploded as its protection energy was exhausted, Jason was thrown backwards into the air. But he was still able to adjust his position while he was in the air, and threw three silver daggers at Laura Jensen while the angle was right.
Laura Jensen infused her magical power into her wand, but she was not able locate where Jason was right after her shield exploded, so she pointed her wand forward and caused an explosion of electric energy in the direction in front of her in hopes of hitting Jason with a wide area attack.
Jason took the blast from the explosion, and the feeling of electric shock ran through almost his entire body, and he was not able to moved a muscle for a short time.
A sphere energy shield appeared around Laura Jensen's body and shattered the silver energy daggers almost touching her left eye and her abdomen.
"The winner is Jason Lin!" when Jason was lying on the ground still in the ring struggling to get up, he heard Professor Barnes announcing the result of his fight, and the subsequent cheer from the audience.
"Hey, you're alright?" when Jason finally got up with the help of Professor Barnes and Thomas, he heard Thomas asking.
"Yeah, I'm good, I'm just ... numb." Jason tried to move his neck, arms and legs to make sure he didn't break anything when he landed on the ground like a thrown away rag doll.
"The necklace did not trigger, so it wouldn't cause serious damage to you. Which means you won." Professor Barnes patted on Jason's shoulder: "Good job!"
