Okay, Hel definitely did not forget about that rematch she had wanted from Invictus. No, she most certainly did not. Time just…slipped away from her, that’s all. Year Two exams, then some training, and then the Christmastival fiasco, and then more training…and well, she needed to get back on that rematch with the heir to Conquest! She would keep challenging him no matter how much…stronger than her he was. She had something to prove! Hmm…GroanSpring was convenient and all, but the last time he sent her an invitation to battle, it was through a well written letter (which she still had), so Hel decided to return the favor.
The valkyrie slipped a hand-written invitation for a rematch under the Co-Ed bathroom door, addressed to Invictus, and then scurried off to the Open Arena to wait for him.

The fact that Invictus had gotten the letter at all was likely a stroke of luck. The state of Conquest hadn't exactly been secret in the time since the Haunted House revisit-fiasco and the meeting with his father - obsessive. It was a state that almost mimicked a previous state of being he'd been seen in before, this obsessive behavior of his. He forcibly created order wherever it was he went, whether it was by a strange way of arranging everything, or just generally being angry and creating distance.
Part of this may have also been sleep deprivation, keeping himself awake to unlivable hours of the night and running on an amount of sleep that would make the undead collapse with exhaustion. He would not fail again, he would not fail again, he would not fail again.
He'd done this song and dance before with the same results, but he couldn't help but push himself to meet that challenge. As it stood, he had nearly missed out on the letter until his obsessive arrange-everything kicked in, picking it up in the middle of his tirade, reading it over, lips set tightly.
Why not? It would serve you well to expend some energy productively. he thought to himself, tucking the written challenge away as he left the Horseman Domain to go and meet the Valkyrie.

"I am fully aware why you summoned me, Hel." he answered, his voice more terse than intended, his stress showing more than he would have liked. Still, as she summoned her spear, he too moved, summoning his bow. He didn't speak any further at the goading she gave to the regard of challenging him until she won.
He would have been disappointed if she didn't, and he had expressed that before. No need to remind, as far as he was concerned. It was obvious that he didn't intend to just let her win - if she did, it was likely that he would issue the next challenge, if only to keep the game alive.

She was waiting for him to do something, definitely…so when he didn’t, she did. Her hands tightened on her spear, and the ghoul lunged forward a bit, striking out at the horseman with her spear. Just a clip but she’d take it. The ghoul pulled away then, circling around Invictus cautiously to keep herself moving.
Hel grimaced as he spoke. She always seemed to be missing big events, huh?
The way he spoke though, also had her curiosity piqued. The way he spoke…it was rather contrasting from the Heir of Conquest she was use to dealing with! What kind of power did this…dear father have that made Invictus speak so…
“I…see.” The ghoul replied slowly, her brows furrowed. “…I assume as of late you have been…ah…motivated, then?” If his strange behavior was any indication.

Hel frowned as he grabbed her spear, and tried jerking the weapon out of his grasp. She hated when he did that! No one else ever grabbed her spear usually…but that was the least of her concerns as she observed the energy gathering around his fist. Uh oh…
Her eyes slid over to Invictus’ face as he spoke. Huh…he was being oddly open…and Hel could sympathize. The ghoul was further stunned as the Horseman out right frown, but she didn’t have too much time to linger over that thought as she was suddenly forced flat out onto the ground. “ACK!” The pressure was unnerving…and it was here the ghoul couldn’t help but laugh. It came out choked at first, but then clear. That was the kind of strength she grew to know from the Heir to Conquest.
The reaper dismissed her weapon, and once she was able, pushed herself back up to her feet. She wiped the back of her mouth with a sleeve and grinned, summoning her spear once more. “Question for you, Vicky!” The ghoul started to charge him. “I understand how important a parent’s approval is…but…have you ever been driven to prove yourself to yourself, and no one else?” She thrust her weapon forward them, looking to lance him.

Hel drew back again once she landed a strike on him. Oh dear, did he look pissed! Ha…ahaha…ow.
The valkyrie was knocked right off of her feet again as she was struck by a multitude of projectiles. She let out a cry of pain as she landed on her back, curling into herself for a moment before she pushed herself up again, ready for more abuse apparently. She held her spear out protectively…though it really did little against those projectiles. She wanted gravity powers too, damn it!
“…Ah, but Invictus, I would probably not last more than five minutes in your father’s presence! Five minutes it stretching it too, friend, if my first encounter with you would be of any indication.” Despite all the damage she had taken so far, Hel still had the cheery disposition to poke fun at herself and grin. As much as she was getting her a** handed to her, it was enthralling as well, battling such a powerful opponent. The ghoul twirled her spear then, and started to focus on casting a spell…but it seemed she would be lacking the concentration, as it missed its mark. "...Do you think the Clans will start accepting students...to teach them?" That was something she was very, very interested in.

“If you do not survive your father for even five minutes, then I definitely stand no chance.”
Uh oh…
There was no way to counter that attack, and the reaper’s body could only jerk this way and that was she was struck by the succession of red-glowing projectiles. Hel let out a snarl of pain as she felt that attack take another large chunk out of her fear shield and the ghoul staggered, wobbling in place. Damn…she had advanced a year, but really, was she doing any better than last battle? At his question, the reaper snorted softly. “I am not certain friend…apparently I am missing all the important things. It is not intentional, trust me!”
Regardless, she was determined to go out giving her all again. Hel twirled her spear, and then charged the Heir to Conquest, letting out a battle cry as she thrust her weapon at him.
