Today, I had the misfortune of being challenged to a duel by Charles Lee, a burly fellow first year student. Why was I challenged? Because I stopped that air head from terrorising Cheryl's name poor little hamster. Apparently, me standing up to him injured his pride somehow. Now I have to participate in a duel tomorrow night. And I don't even know how to duel. In fact, the only spell I know which could be used in a duel is the knockback spell Professor Shen had just taught us yesterday. But my aim is absolutely terrible. I don't think I'll be able to even hit Charles with it. I hope his aim is still as bad as it is. Mia, Benjamin and Cheryl had advised me to tell Constantine about the duel instead of participating in it. But I thought against it. Someone needed to stand up to Charles before he became a real bully.

Today is the day of my duel with Charles. To say that I'm scared is a gross understatement. An extremely gross understatement. To prepare for the duel, I spent the entire morning and afternoon practising the few spells I knew with Mia, Benjamin and Cheryl in one of many Qimengdian's empty practice fields. I do hope that all the practice will pay off. I really do, or this may be the last journal entry I'll be writing for awhile. At a time like this, I really wished that I would have already learnt the basic shield spell to protect myself. Unfortunately, Professor Shen has yet to teach the class the spell yet. I just have to pray and hope that Charles is as bad as a duellist as I am. Though I have a feeling he will have an advantage over me. If he didn't, why would he have challenged me to a duel then?
