The bulwark commander was right when he guessed that Simon's reflexes were absurd, but he was wrong in his assumption of Simon possessing an affinity for the earth element or Simon having a danger sense skill because he was able to dodge all the earth spikes in a fraction of a moment.
Meanwhile, the reason Simon was able to dodge the earth spikes was because of Shadow Sense.
Whenever an earth spike was about to shoot out from the wall and pierce him, he would feel a distortion in his shadow, and this alerted him about the attack.
At first, he was not used to it and it was so sudden.
That was why he stumbled, fell, and rolled on the wall.
But now, he was very much used to it.
Shadow Sense was a skill he used mainly to ensure that nobody was hiding in his shadow like Thorgan.
In terms of perceiving danger or perceiving the arrival of a living thing, an object, or an attack in his vicinity, he felt more comfortable using his wind affinity to perceive this.
