The explosion burst from Varus just as Nico was about to collide with the instructor, the force of the point-blank counter blasting him backwards and into Donovan, the red sigil disappearing in the process as Nico completely lost focus. On the bright side, he was somewhat figuring out how to turn his powers on and off. On the not-so-bright side, he had just been hit by a massive magical detonation.

The impact against Donovan knocked the wind out of Nico and elicited a gasping cough that should have been a shout of pain. The ringing in his ears and the blurriness of his vision soon faded to a muted buzzing in darkness as he found he couldn't keep his eyes open any longer. Amazed that he had somehow survived something so powerful, and wondering how much of it he had even managed to affect with his powers, Nico's last thoughts before the darkness swallowed up his consciousness was a calm realization that his glasses had been knocked off for the second damn time that day.

And then he was out cold.
