Present day.
Adam stood in his backyard, wine cup in hand, gazing at the rooftop of a distant building with a faint smirk on his lips.
Although he put up a brave and carefree front, inwardly, he was extremely tense.
Because while he may be looking in the direction the Master was in, he was in fact… looking at nothing!
Despite having his Sphere of Resonance operating at maximum capacity, he was only able to faintly notice the presence of another person.
The feeling was fleeting—very fleeting—but it was undoubtedly there.
This could only mean one of two things…
Either this person was an expert at the Mana Core Rank, or he possessed a Grade 4 artifact capable of concealing himself even from Adam's enhanced senses.
Or both!
His heart churned with tumultuous waves when he came to that conclusion. Regardless of his speculations, he was certain that the person was a very powerful Mana Core Magus.
