A teacher at the edge of the courtyard shouted for them to stop, but more students had already gathered and blocked the path. No one wanted to move because no one wanted to miss the fight between a White family son and the unknown student using void-like magic.
Ned rushed forward again. This time, his sword moved toward Fizz.
John saw the direction of the attack, and the last part of his calm disappeared.
He lifted his right hand. "Gravity Pull."
The force caught Ned's entire body and dragged him forward faster than he expected. His feet left the ground, and his sword arm moved away from his target. John stepped into the pull and punched him directly in the face.
The sound was sharp.
Ned's head snapped backward as blood flew from his mouth. He struck the ground and rolled twice across the courtyard stones.
Fizz lowered his fireballs and nodded. "That was a good punch."
Ned pushed himself up. Blood ran from his lip, and his eyes were filled with rage and humiliation.
