Alexander retrieved the short staff from his back as he approached closely enough to be noticed by the students. He activated its long staff mode and leapt across the river, swiftly reaching the other side.
His actions caught the attention of the students, who were fighting amongst themselves.
"Someone's approaching, and fast!" One student exclaimed once he noticed Alex leap over the river. Although the river's width wasn't very wide, it wasn't short either.
It measured 112 metres across, and Alexander jumped over it effortlessly. He also made no effort to conceal his presence, attracting the attention of everyone around.
His speed exceeded what anyone there could anticipate, and due to his constant movement, it was challenging to identify the individual.
As if by agreement, they stopped fighting among themselves and prepared to face the new intruder, who seemed to be faster and stronger than they were.
