Shin was experimenting with the other special effects of the 'Elemental Unification' ability when he suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation in the air. The Elemental Mana in the surroundings seemed to have been disturbed, but very gently, which was why the movements were barely noticeable.
The moment when he set his gaze toward the direction where he felt the strange fluctuations were coming from and following its main source, he happened to 'see' a familiar person in the distance. "Eh!? What is she doing here? I thought she was busy doing her Elemental Spirit Quest."
It then comes to him in the very next moment, "Hmm. Don't tell me this place is the setting for that quest. Is it somehow related to the strange movements of the monsters within the region?"
As he was discussing with himself, he realized that the other party had also noticed his presence.
