Selene and Luna were high in the sky, casting their ethereal glow over the City of Sails. It was past midnight and most of the residents had fallen asleep.
Except for the few shops and taverns that remained open late at night and the group of night guards patrolling the city, everyone had drifted off to slumberland.
Under the dark cover of the night, Adam, dressed in all black, appeared at the mouth of the cobbled alley that led to the underground tunnel.
It was guarded by several Rank 1 - Mana Foundation Magi from the Clover Academy, however, none of them could sense the raven-haired youth's presence.
After having cast a Dingy Illusion on himself, it was extremely easy for him to deceive the senses of others.
Compared to his last trip here as a child, the place surrounding the alley had greatly changed. For one, the nearby residential and commercial buildings had been changed into barracks that were used by the Magi of the Academy.
