Alex's PoV:
As we went deeper into the forest, I had heard rustling sounds in the bushes and trees.
What's more unusual was that there weren't any blows of the wind or anything similar to that.
There was often several appearing shadow who moved at a tremendous speed that even I who practiced swordsmanship and had my speed stat being my main stat, wasn't able to see the appearance of the fast-moving shadows.
I had also noticed that the flow of mana around the surroundings was distorted.
Mana was an energy that was present in all surroundings and now that mana that I had noticed was changing its usual flow.
As a swordsman, I had always remained vigilant to the changes of my surroundings and now that I had noticed a distortion in the surrounding mana, I knew that something was wrong.
I did not mind it at first since it might just be Axel and his teammates pulling a prank on us.
