Small talk before the fight

"The monsters are coming," I said, turning my face towards the east. 

It wasn't something I observed with my mana sense. The distance that separated the incoming threats from us was way too great for me to detect any weird movements of the mana. 

No. I detected the monsters with nothing less than what could only be called a sixth sense. Or in broader terms, a combination of all my senses, experience, and levels of perception I couldn't consciously control. 

"How many?" Levi asked while lowering himself to his knees and looking in the same direction I did. 

I, in turn, gave him a baffled look. 

"How the heck should I know?" I asked. "I don't even know if those are the anti-mana monsters or the normal ones," I pointed out while rolling my eyes.
