It was containing the product of two combatants, the force of every exchange, every impact, every detonation of released essence that would have, without the seal, extended outward across the field and into the positions where several hundred students were standing.
The barrier was over a kilometer across.
That was not immediately apparent from any single vantage point on the field — the construct did not announce its diameter, and the shimmer of its surface was subtle enough that students close to its edge might not have recognized where the edge was until they reached it.
