Festival of Light and Shadow: round 1a fight 4 - Harry Dresden vs Molly Carpenter

[Illian Tear]

Dresden and Molly stood across from each other. "I didn't want to do this Molly." "I know." Molly replied. Then the fight began.

          Molly immediately tried to manipulate his mind into seeing something else, but Dresden taught her everything she knew and how to protect against it. Illusions of vampires, fae, and wolves surrounded him, but he knew all these were fake. Then he saw blinding lights of different colors causing him to fall to his knees. Molly then blasted him back a little bit, but this pushed him out of the illusions. Dresden got back to his feet a little dazed and saw Molly walking towards him. He waited until she was close enough and he sprinted at her and hit her with the kinetic forces stored within his rings. She went flying into the wall of the arena and didn't move. "I'm sorry Molly."

 

Expected winner: Harry Dresden 

[Niniel]

I don´t know any of these. 

[Niniel]

So he was her mentor?

[Illian Tear]

Yes. She accidentally did "dark magic" which leads automatically to death, but Dresden took the responsibility of teaching her.

While the trope demands the mentor's death, I just can't see it here. 

[Niniel]

Then I will rely on your wisdom. :)
