From the glass observation deck, the class watched intently as Damon and Xander faced off. At first, they were stunned that Damon could even dodge the light magic attacks from the magic artillery.
"Why is he running around like that?" one student muttered.
"Isn't it obvious? He can't even use the weakest barrier spells," another sneered.
"Right, with a mana pool of only 30, he can't cast anything substantial," someone else chimed in.
"With all that running around, he'll tire himself out soon enough," added another voice, the tone dripping with disdain.
"I'm surprised he can dodge at all while wearing a blindfold," one student remarked, the skepticism in their voice clear.
The group continued their offhanded comments, mocking Damon's apparent disadvantage, until suddenly, Damon shifted his strategy.
He sprinted toward Xander, who stood protected by two layers of gravity barriers.
