Despite that he had been eliminated during the first task, something he was still frustrated about, he had still learned a lot during his practices with Dora and he found out that he had gotten a lot better in using defensive spells thanks to her.

As he entered the arena from the other side, Mason gave a nod back when Noelle smiled at hime and he wished her luck as well.

Bowing respectfully, the seventeen year old held up his wand to cast the first spell at her but she seemed to be quicker. Seeing a flash or green light racing towards him, Mason jumped to the side to get out of the line of the spell but by doing this he accidentally stepped in the next spell's direction and got hit right in his chest.

He flew backwards through the air but before he hit the wall behind him, he had quickly pointed his wand over his shoulder and casted "Mollaire!". A split second later he hit the wall unhurt thanks to the invisible cushions.

Not wasting time, Mason aimed his wand at the Gryffindor and send a non-verbal 'Jelly-fingers curse' and a 'stinging hex' her way.
