"Urgh...!"
Xeonith was slowly scrambling back at his feet while shaking his head.
He barely registered what happened, not even in his wildest fantasies did he dare to imagine that the first prince - whom Xeonith always thought about as a stuck up overconfident sheltered snob - would just straight-up attack him without actually challenging him for a duel!
By doing so the gold-haired boy was doing breaking the exact same rule that got his younger brother expelled...!
To make the situation even more dire – at least for Xeonith – if the brown-haired boy didn't manage to scramble up the stone armor spell – a defensive spell that provided a certain amount of defense with a single cast, unlike the cumulative spells like a water bubble, or Zoemi's shadow enchantments - on top of his earth enchantments, he would have been straight-up dead.
Not even severely wounded.
DEAD.
