"What's going on Dumbledore?" Kayson suddenly appeared in Dumbledore's office, sat down on the sofa, and asked.
"Oh, it's a small matter. Because the current situation is dangerous, Hogwarts is now encouraging young wizards to participate in wizard duels to hone their combat skills."
"It's quite obvious that the duels among the young wizards don't come out in public, not even once. Perhaps it's because they don't trust the school and think we'll deduct points from their records," Dumbledore said with some distress.
"So, what are you trying to say?" Kayson asked.
"Oh, what I meant was that today, at noon we had a real, overt wizard duel request."
"Let me see, Dean Thomas requests a one-on-one wizarding duel with Harry Potter, for... love, for..." Dumbledore chuckled as he handed the application to Kayson. "Look at these energetic young men, full of love and hate."
Kayson nodded and took the application form. He looked at the challenger's signature; Dean Thomas's name was printed there, while the challenged person's was blank. "So this is it. The challenged person should also need to agree and sign, right?"
Dumbledore nodded. "Yes, I will give this application form to Professor McGonagall later, and then Professor McGonagall will give it to Harry so that he can decide whether to accept the application."
Do you think Harry will accept it?
Kayson raised an eyebrow as he sat in his chair. " Harry isn't aggressive. His aggression only comes out when he's in danger or when he harbors extreme resentment towards someone... But if it's about love, Harry would probably agree. He's just a boy."
"Then this task is entrusted to you, the referee on the dueling platform. I have a few requirements for this duel," Dumbledore said, pouring Kayson a glass of wine.
"I didn't say I was going to agree to this job," Kayson said after finishing his drink.
Dumbledore silent, took a bottle of wine from the wine cabinet, and placed it on the table. "Now?"
Kayson raised an eyebrow. "Now I agree!"
Dumbledore nodded. "I have a few requirements for this duel. Both of us can be injured, since you have milk there, which can heal any remnants of Dark Magic. However, there can be no humiliation."
"In other words, they can finely chop each other into minced meat, but one person can't slap the other, you understand?"
Kayson nodded. "I understand, I understand. They're allowed to punch each other until their brains pop out, but they're not allowed to shed tears. After all, young people's pride can easily lead them to use force to attack concrete."
"That's no problem. As for the rest, I have a lot of confidence in you regarding fairness. Help me organize this duel perfectly, and prepare a victory prize and a commemorative prize. How about that?" Dumbledore stood up and appeared behind Kayson, patting him on the shoulder as he spoke.
"Hmm, sure." Kayson raised an eyebrow and was about to stand up.
"I've finished speaking," Dumbledore shrugged and returned to his original position. Kayson, hearing this, also tried to take the bottle of wine, but his hand found it empty.
Dumbledore put the bottle of wine back in the wine cabinet.
"... Huh?" Only this shocking question can reflect Kayson's true feelings now.
"I didn't say I was going to give you this bottle of wine," Dumbledore said, shrugging his shoulders with a smug look on his face.
"It's not you, M..."
The three people sitting on the sofa in the alchemy office watched as a giant sponge suddenly appeared next to the coffee table, and bottles of wine appeared out of thin air and landed on the sponge.
"What's going on?" Thomas looked completely bewildered at Orland sitting next to him.
Orland had never seen this scene before, and he saw Clay sitting opposite him.
The latter raised an eyebrow. "I wonder where the professor got this wine from."
The moment he finished speaking, Kayson Ender teleportation in, his hair and clothes a complete mess, looking as if he had just jumped out of a washing machine, disheveled and sharp.
"Professor, what's wrong?" Clay and Orland both stood up, Thomas was a little slower to react, also stood up and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I fought with Dumbledore, it's no big deal." Kayson waved his hand, picked up all the wine from the sponge, and put it in the wine cabinet.
Then he tidied himself up briefly, sat down on the sofa, smiled at Thomas, and said, "I was in Dumbledore's office just now, and I heard him talking about you, about that duel request."
Thomas was a little embarrassed, clearly feeling that his relationship with Kayson was not as close as Harry's with Kayson, so he didn't want to say anything more.
Seeing Thomas's expression, Kayson reassured him, saying, " Dumbledore also told me the reason. It's normal for people your age to be jealous of each other. I support that. It's understandable that you have a temper."
Thomas remained awkwardly seated on the sofa, still unsure of what to say to Kayson. In the end, he could only manage to stammer, "Um, Professor, when will Orland be able to leave?"
"Wait until I finish my homework," Clay said without looking up.
"What do you want with Orland?" Kayson asked.
" Harry's dueling skills are quite high, so I came to learn from him. After all, the powerful and destructive magic that Orland developed is famous throughout Hogwarts," Thomas said somewhat embarrassedly.
" Orland, you've really made something of yourself! People are even asking you to teach them!" Clay exclaimed without hesitation, launching into a string of Belial quotes.
"Yes, I do have some talent in this area," Orland said, still looking down.
"Professor, you're not going to tell Harry about this, are you?" Thomas asked somewhat awkwardly.
"Why should I say that?" Kayson asked instinctively.
"Because if I get tutoring from Orland, it will definitely disrupt the peace, right?" Thomas replied without thinking.
"A duel is simply one strong and one weak, one defeating the other. That's a normal duel, so don't worry." Kayson waved his hand to reassure Thomas.
"Yay! I'm finally done!" After finishing his homework, Orland shouted with joy.

It's obvious that Xia Fan likes Narcissus [someone in the group said that my quick thinking as a straight man is as good as a female fan's racking of brains]. So what's the point of shipping Narcissus? Purely a mystery.
3R's fan art is quite amazing with its pure 2D style, so even though Xia Fan is already on the list, it's still on the list!
