Eve wasn't moving aimlessly. In just a few moments, she already formulated a plan.
She couldn't afford to draw too much attention to herself.
Since the old Magicians would probably not act if she didn't cause too much commotion, she needed to take the Aura Crystal as quickly as possible from the retired Aura Knights. As long as she didn't cast high-tier Spells that could cause huge disturbances, he should be just fine.
"I'll start with the academy," she muttered. "If the Aura Knights took the crystal, it's likely there. And if not… well, the academy is full of secrets. Perhaps I'll find something else of value."
There was only a small chance that the Aura Crystal was sold to someone else. It would be more reasonable that the Aura Knights were holding this crystal for future use, maybe for their disciple or perhaps, their best student in the Academy.
