I suppose it's never truly made easy to judge these timed fights as both opponents are likely to continue until time is called rather than giving in regardless of what happens during the fight. Firstly, BDS, I feel the need to mention that you repeated spells quite frequently, Holy Sphere 4 times, Holy flame attacks 4 times if you include heavens flash, Holy bullets, and Holy flare two times. With a total of 25 spells meaning that just under half of your attacks were repeated ones and I didn't even include the devil's orb in that equation. Holo used a total of 14 spells, using disassemble 2 times and analyze 3 times meaning that less than half of Holo's spells were repeated but I will admit that Photon shield was relied on greatly during the beginning of the battle but so what Matthew's ability to transform into flames. However, I am glad to see that neither was used to abusive levels.

While I suppose in a fight in which two people are forced to fight in long ranged combat might mean that those with few ranged attacks would have to repeat them I must say it took away from my enjoyment of reading the fight to see Holy this and holy that repeated over and over again. Of course however, my main concern comes from Matthew's use of Fields of Punishment. The attack was certainly powerful, apparently powerful enough to crack the barrier around the arena which was no doubt being maintained by several powerful wizards or perhaps even the guild masters themselves as we did not discuss the origin of this barrier. Regardless, the attack was described in such a way that it seemed as though you meant to cause lasting harm or even death to Nina who you obviously did not know she had the capabilities to defend against it nor did you intend to give her the chance to do so as she was blinded at the point of time in which you attacked. Meaning that she was intended to take the full force of a spell which you say rivals that of one called a "Weapon of Mass Destruction". It was unnecessarily dangerous to both Nina and the rest of the crowd and is something I will need to discuss with the other judges before giving a final ruling on this match.
