"Who let you in!"
As Rocky's vision sparkled with stars, he saw Orton rush towards him, blurily, and help him up off the ground.
"You little rascal, didn't you know I was conducting an experiment? Are you hurt?"
Orton grumbled and checked Rocky all over. Once he confirmed that the explosion hadn't injured him, he said nothing more and fiercely punched him on the head, immediately conjuring a galaxy of stars before Rocky's eyes.
"You brat, already a Third Level Mage, and you can't even cast a magic shield?"
"How was I supposed to know what you were doing!"
Shaking his head vigorously, it took a while for Rocky to recover from his dizziness, after which he cast an aggrieved glance at Orton.
