Not many duellers can make an advantage out of lacking any sort of weaponry, but Hugh Thompson is one of them. Eschewing offensive equipment for a pair of shields will let the normally-frail scientist shrug off his foe's sword strikes, buying the time necessary to land one of his crippling status spells. If Vol's instant death fails him, then paralysis followed by an assault with his Gi-class techs should do the job just as well. Either way, he's got good odds for victory in his debut match.

The strong and hearty warrior of Tanbel finally makes it to the RPGDL this week! With his massive Zircon Axe and major stockpile of HP, Guy is more than capable of carving his way through Hugh, two shields or not. In this heated battle, Guy will be aided by his trump card; his devastating IP attacks give him a wicked finisher to this epic battle. Thundershriek will turn Hugh into a smear on the arena floor and pave Guy's path to the second round.

“Biologist, and known for being able to stop life at it's very core, Hugh can strike forth with many status attacks, that even the most veteran of warriors are unable to guard against.” Quickly finishing up the last of the report, Guy paced his dressing room in anger and annoyance, unable to find a clear way to best the young biologist from Palma.
“This.. is not good at all. What could possibly disable such a cerebal warrior long enough for me to cut him down?” Guy's arm twinged. That damn Dekar.. his arm still hurt from that training session. Looking up, his face brightened with the beginnings of a plan.
“..It's perfect.”
“..So all I need to do is talk to this Hugh for a few hours, and you'll tell me how to solve the block puzzle in front of the girl's locker room? Sure!” Dekar went racing off to find Hugh, while Guy merely shrugged and took a quick nap before the bout.

Guy stood in the ring, his massive Zirco Ax in hand. Where was Hugh? It was time for the duel.
A pair of purple haired men came staggering out of the back room. Both were very obviously drunk, and singing random snatches of song. “I'l sea youse later.” The larger of the two stumbled off, to try and rid himself of the imbibed spirits.
Guy looked at Hugh, and laughed. Not only had the biologist failed to properly equip his shields, he looked like he wouldn't be able to remember his own name, let alone how to strike at the weak point in a human.
A mighty swing of the Zirco Ax laid Hugh low. Although not out, he was clearly in pain. His eyes suddenly clearing, Hugh stood up tall... “How.. do I use it? Volll!” Zidane Tribal clutched his chest, and to the shock of the people sitting around him, keeled over lifelessly.
Hugh, in his Dekared state, not only failed to correctly pronounce his trademark life stopping attack, but he even a target that wasn't even in the ring! Deciding to have mercy, Guy took the handle end of his ax and knocked Hugh, and hopefully, most of what Dekar said to him, out.
While Guy isn't the type to show mercy to an enemy, anyone who had to sit through hours of Dekar talk and somehow managed to kill Zidane out of it was deserving of a break.
Hugh Thompson: 19
Guy: 20
Strider
A mage with high defense against someone with questionable magic resistance. Guy hits hard, but his attack power and IP moves won't save him.
Shale
With two shields, Hugh has better physical defense than Guy has magic defense. Not that that's saying much.
