Glancing up from her note-taking, she looked to the professor. She really hadn't been happier to see a professor in her life. For some reason, seeing Professor Truebridge back set her at ease.
Truebridge caught Mina's eye and nodded at the young Ravenclaw, acknowledging her presence. She'd been one of his best students in History of Magic, it would be interesting to see if that was the case with this.

Raising the hand that wasn't currently occupied, Tibi looked to Professor Truebridge. "A Code Duello is bascially an agreement about how the duel happens, and includes things like witnesses, medical care and other ground rules."
Tiberius Pryce. Another familiar face and excellent student. Truebridge listened to him answer and nodded. "Precisely."

"Exactly right. A duel is often intended to defend ones honour and so the Code Duello provides a semblance of honour to the proceedings. At least that is part of the intention." zan agreed.

"Yes witnesses and healers are often part of the Code Duello." Truebridge nodded.

Code duello? Was it like Code Blue? Because he was pretty sure that Amelia mentioned it once or twice in her healer training. "Rules. Or something." Aaron nodded, at least PRETENDING to be confident, even if he wasn't really.
"It is good to meet you, Aaron. Rules are indeed what the Code Duello covers."

Pulling out some parchement and her quill, she took notes on everything the professor was saying. Swinging her feet she thought about what Code Duello could be. "Unwritten dueling rules?"She said with the shrug of her shoulders.
"Pleased to have you here, Arya. And indeed a Code Duello tends to be unwritten rules governing a duel."
The orb filled with notes as he spoke more on the subject.
"A Code Duello is a set of rules for a one-on-one combat, or duel. Codes Duello regulate duelling laws and limits and help prevent duels from escalating into vendettas or feuds. Codes Duello often provide assurance that a healer may be on hand at the completion of a duel and allow for the participants to stipulate limits where they are needed. Witnesses are usually called for in a Code Duello in order to so that testimony may be provided if authorities become involved and to be sure the duel was executed fairly and in accordance with the agreed upon limits. The number of paces the opponents take from one another is governed by the Code Duello. As a rule the graver the insult, the fewer the paces agreed upon. The Code Duello also regulates the point a duel may be considered completed." He looked around the class to be sure they were paying attention.
"Can I have each of you suggest a limit and a completion point? A limit is something which the combatants decide is or is not allowed and a completion point is the criteria which governs when a duel is over. Just one of each."
