”Huh. That’s interesting!” Alex mused as he knelt down in the blue grass of Finnek Forest, dropping a couple of leaves into a glass vial and seeing the solution within the vial turn from clear to pink. It wasn’t just the trees that had that blue coloring, but all the plants within the entire forest. While it was true that Alex was Syne’s grounds keeper and was technically on call for nearly the entire week, even he needed a weekend day to rest and recharge. However instead of spending it sleeping, reading a book, going to the movies, or even talking to the professors at the academy. Instead he was here in the famous blue forest with a portable chemistry set. Some of his old hobbies when he was a hunter never really vanished, such as his fascination with plants. He could’ve easily become a botanist if he tried.
At the moment he was trying to figure out why all the plants in the Finnek Forest were blue while the chlorophyll in most plants turned their leaves a lush green. Something was changing the property of the chlorophyll so it was a lush blue instead of green. While a scientific reason had been found decades ago, Alex had chosen not to look at the results and examine the forest himself to satisfy his curiosity. He had it during those years when he wasn’t a hunter, but during that 5 and a half year gap he never left the safety of Bellmuse. Now a hunter again, Alex was exploring and examining stuff like this by himself again. He had to get his old skills back.
However he did do one rather foolish thing; he came out here alone, and was currently in an area where grimm movements were reported to be high. However he had come out to such an area on purpose though. He had been getting his old skills with his wrecking ball weapon, and now he thought was the time to see if he was ready to be a hunter again. If he was then great… but if he wasn’t, he’d join his old team wherever people go when they die.
Hearing some of the nearby plants rustle, Alex stood up and reached behind his back to ready his weapon Wrecker, only to see a small squirrel pop out of a bush and started to munch on a blue acorn. ”Sheesh. Gotten rusty enough I can’t tell the difference between a squirrel and a Grimm.” he muttered under his breath as he lowered his hands away from Wrecker.
