He ran through the trees at amazing speeds. Using every skill in his arsenal that helped with speed, he didn't even leave after images, every tree he passed complained because of the gust of wind he created. He was practically insivible as he went.
He kept looking back to see whatever it was that made him run this fast.
The forest was huge, so he wanted to explore it while they waited to see how they could infiltrate the enemy. But lazying around and just training bored Kiro to death, on the same day he decided to explore he went in too deep and discovered translucent beings.
He had no idea whether they were weak or destructive but he didn't stick around to find out. He wasn't really scared of them.
He just knew that causing a ruckus here would attract troublesome flies. That would absolutely blow their cover. That would make Hubris angrier than he was at the moment, so Kiro avoided using any of his flashy skills to avoid being detected.
