Editing Gakusen Toshi Asterisk~Russian Version~:Terminology and Guidelines (section)

===As a normal function the students are allowed to battle;===
====1. Duel each other over gripes and whatever perceived injustices.====
*Duels can be quite spontaneous and are based on some vague honor system.
*Duels can take place whenever and wherever, even without the protection of a Battle-Stage. This frequently results in significant damage to the school campus and possible inadvertent bystander casualties. Oddly enough, the school's seem fine with this.
*Both parties must agree to a duel.
====2. Challenge other students in the monthly ranking matches.====
*Page One must accept a duel request from a lower ranked student
*Challenging any particular opponent to a ranking match can only be done at most twice, forestalling the opportunity for foul play.
*It's usual that a challenge is held in an official Battle-Stage.
*In the official ranking matches held monthly, the system was made so that, when a Page One received a duel request from a lower ranked student, he could not refuse the match; but the students, who participated in this, were divided in three major levels. The first one was that of the higher-ranked students called ‘Top Twelve’, the second was the level of the ‘up-and-coming’<ref> Referring to those next highest in rank and thus making good progress towards becoming one of the Top Twelve.</ref> students, who had their name recorded in the Named Charts, and the third was the ‘non-ranked’ students, who did not have their name in the Named Charts.
*In the official ranking matches, one could only appoint an opponent, who belonged to one level above. In other words, to appoint a Top Twelve as an opponent, it was necessary to at least belong to the level of up-and-coming students. Therefore, to suddenly become a Top Twelve from having been a non-ranked student, it was necessary to defeat one’s opponent by means of a duel ── generally, as the ranking became higher, one would indeed tend to be wary of duels.
*Each academy has slightly different rules regarding Duels. Example; Garrardsworth severely limits Duels.
====3. Perform in official tournaments.====
*The initial qualifying rounds are held in smaller local Battle-Stage equipped halls scattered about Asterisk City, but the more spectacular higher level rounds are held in the main stadiums.
