And he didn't have to stand so far away, did he know? ........ Wait, Dueling Club? "Well, yes. Most people seemed to enjoy it and it's built up people's abilities. Why?" Should he be worried, Mr Song? Hmm?
Stalwartly ignoring everything happening around him, Jaemin inched closer to the table. It didn't look like anyone would be eating tonight, which... he assumed was par for the course, considering how everyone was reacting. It was a good job there was junk food back in his dorm waiting to be consumed before the train turned up to whisk them all away, or he'd be going to bed hungry, and that was just awful.

Oh oh. His face visibly dropped a shade and the small boy squirmed uncomfortably when Hirsch confirmed what he'd been worried about; he'd been hoping that they'd find some reason to decide against doing it again, but... apparently that wasn't going to happen. Which meant that he'd... well.

"Do... do I have to do it again?" he murmured, fingers of his right hand gripping at his elbow and rubbing it absently as he forced himself to look from the table's edge to Hirsch's face. "Since I signed up for it this term? Or can I just... not do it...?"

Because really. He might as well have placed last in the standings for his year, he'd done that poorly. He had a long history of avoiding things that he wasn't good at, and apparently dueling was to be added to the list, along with flying and interpreting Arithmancy stuff. He couldn't avoid classes, so he'd have to push through that, but... if sport-ish stuff was optional, then he could at least avoid being bad at that.
