After the academy group left, I turned to face the forest and drew a sword from my spatial storage. Why? Because my search skill had detected a figure moving quickly—heading straight toward me.
Both hands gripped the sword tightly. I took a deep breath. I settled into my stance. Before long, the moving figure shot out from the forest and charged at me.
CLANG!
The figure blurred as it emerged. But once it came closer...
"Axxel!?"
"Luna!?"

After the shock passed, Axxel took two steps back and lowered his sword. I also put mine away.
"Sorry, Lun. I thought you were an Elite Goblin," Axxel said with a wry smile.
I could only take a deep breath at his comment.
"..."
"Anyway, why are you here? Where's Key?"
