Premonition

It had been close to a month since the trio had arrived at Hannes City. With the city's curfew starting at sunset and the increased nighttime patrol, the disappearances had lowered significantly.

However, this didn't mean progress. After all, the Magi were still unable to locate where the captives were being held.

Adam's life in the city had become monotonous. The entire night, he'd be out with Edward and Lisa, patrolling the streets. Then, he would return to the rented manor in the wee hours of the morning.

After sleeping for six hours only, he would begin practicing mindfulness and then bury himself in studying herbalism and experimenting with potions.

During such times, oh how much he wished that practicing mindfulness could substitute for his sleep. But unfortunately, it didn't.

In the past few weeks, after repeated failures and subsequent learning from said failures, Adam had already mastered brewing the Potion of Aqua Breathing.
