Over a month had passed since Adam arrived at the City of Sails.
He had been anticipating Headmistress Godfrey's arrival. He wanted to see with his own eyes what she did when she entered the tunnel.
Until and unless he confirmed this, he would never act on his speculations, no matter how bizarre or reasonable they seemed.
Being as cautious as he was, the youth chose to camp out in the hills on the outskirts of the town. He wasn't going to risk being in the same place as the Headmistress.
She has been a Mana Vortex Magus for a long time now and was sure to have numerous spells up her sleeves.
Whereas, Adam had only just advanced to this rank. He would never risk being found out by the Headmistress.
On the off-chance that he came face-to-face with the old woman, he wouldn't know how to explain himself.
His being in Hannes City would raise alarms in the Headmistress' mind if she were truly a part of the Cult.
