"SHIT!" Alex exclaimed as something pulled him forward.
He slid across the floor and almost fell into the ocean. Fortunately, he quickly mobilised his mana to bind himself to the floor. Physical reinforcement allowed him to bear the strain coming from the rod.
The sudden motion of Alex didn't go unnoticed. The crew members who were nearby saw him jerk forward. They curiously looked at him.
Never did they see a person being pulled across the floor while fishing. Usually, the line and rods were weak enough to break when they experienced that much force.
They purposely built the rod and the line like that to prevent anyone from going overboard while trying to catch a meal.
The crew wanted to jump in and help him. However, seeing that he stabilised his form, they decided not to.
However, that didn't stop them from moving closer to Alex and seeing what he had caught. They strolled towards Alex, expecting the line to break any second now.
