Finishing her wand practice, Jasmine was ready to attempt her spell for real this time. She happened to notice Lux and Adi enter the arena. Jasmine gave them both a wave and said, "Hi guys". Turning back to the task at hand, she knew that it was time to get her thoughts together and focus. It was hard because what she really wanted to do was watch Cris do his thing on the other side of the room. If she'd did that though, she would never get her homework finished.

Turning back to face her dummy, Jasmine tried focus only on that. She visualized herself casting the spell and the the dummy exploding into thousands of pieces. Raising her wand, she took a deep breath and moved her wand right then left in a sideways V shape. At the same time, Jasmine said, "Reducto". Trying hard to maintain her concentration as she completed the spell, she kept her eyes fixed on the dummy. When the dummy was in fact blasted into pieces, Jasmine was able to finally relax. She had done it. Now she had to do it again. She pointed her wand and called out, "Finite". Sneaking a quick peek at Cris, Jasmine tried to prepare herself for her second try.
