Lots are drawn before the match to determine the positioning of the different students in the arena, with the middle being the worst position, as it allows the group or person to be surrounded. A combatant is considered eliminated if their circle is breached, whereupon they leave the arena. The last person or team left with their circle intact wins the Melee.{{book ref|rithmatist|25}}

Paul's team had been able to protect him for most of the match, leaving him with an almost pristine circle. Adelle's team had been eliminated during the first few minutes. She was heavily bombarded by Lines of Vigor and [[chalkling]]s from Paul and her defense was almost gone when she bounced a Line of Vigor off of three Lines of Forbiddance to reach a weak point at the rear of Paul's circle. This won her the match.{{book ref|Rithmatist|1}}
