He was gone.
For minutes, Chunji stood there trying to solve the wicked problem in his head. Chunji took labored breaths, but still, it proved fruitless. Chunji wasn't a hunter nor a hitman, detective, or dog. If he was a writer, he might create a solution to draw him closer to the ending. Alas, he was a simple student training to become a doctor.
Chunji knelt and touched the burn mark, proving Davil's presence. It was starting to get cold. Even after hours had flown by, Alto's horrendous class plagued his mind. Chunji's eyes furrowed as he tried to figure out who Davil was meeting with. They had to be with someone, considering Davil ran all this way into this specific alley. Not to mention, he tried punching them the first time he met them.
So, who was it?
If Chunji had more time, then he'd had a better grasp of the situation. But for now, he could rule out potential suspects. Judging by the time frame, everyone in the attunement zone could be ruled out. They were all accounted for unless they had a duplicitous nature like Gulliver. That left with a few people that Chunji personally knew. Chloe, Rio, and Gulliver. Chloe was held up at the clinic, and Rio disappeared. Rio was still a potential candidate, but Chunji found it hard to believe due to the way he fights. Chunji didn't know Gulliver's whereabouts, but he could act anywhere in the academy by manipulating puppets.
It was either those two, the faculty, or a third party hidden in the academy. The sample size was too big and left too many holes for Chunji to deduce who the perpetrator was. Though that could wait, finding where Davil went was paramount.
Chunji could not do this alone. Dayin manifested beside him as Chunji drafted a message.
Davil's gone missing. I need assistance in finding him. The perpetrator remains unknown and may be responsible.
Chunji sent the message to Otis and Iraleth with directions to his current location. Those two were the ones who went out of their way to locate Davil, so they may have a better chance to do so again. Time wasn't on their side as the heat faded, and so was their lead on Davil. However, Chunji didn't plan to sit idle while waiting for them to appear.
Removing his glasses, Chunji covered one of his eyes to avoid any more strain. As much as Chunji didn't want to do this, someone's life was potentially at risk. It was a doctor's job to ensure the safety of their patient. If he could find a clue, then he'd be able to pursue it with Otis and Iraleth's help.
On the other hand, the perpetrator may still be around. The consequences be damned if he at least found someone nearby.
"透过现象看本质!"
The world revealed itself once more. No concerns with his primal essence, as his Ethos seemed to be functioning normally. The perpetrator had long since left the scene of the crime, most likely taking Davil with him. However, it wasn't fruitless at all.
His eyes darted toward the ground, noticing something he had missed. A small leyline fountain that was like a needle in a haystack. Chunji's sight then followed to the mote of the wall.
With a swift movement of his scalpel, blood started dripping down from his palm. He didn't know what to expect, but it was clear that it would be dangerous.
Chunji tried to interact with the mote on the wall to see if he could do anything with it.

Okay. I debated this for a long time, but Chunji's going to use his Ethos.
What are the effects of using it after attunement and if its still functional are there any people around, Chunji?

@Nanaya
Just to be quick, are there any leylines in the area? Since that was a prominent instance of Davil disappearing.
Also how warm is the burn mark?

I guess I'll throw my hat in. I'm not doing much anyways.
Are we going to wait for Sifr?
The Davil's apparition darted out of the clinic when Chunji processed what the receptionist said. Chunji highly doubted that Davil was healthy even after consuming a few of his potions. "Davil Wund appears to have left a long time ago, and judging by your reaction, it seems that either he left before your shift or talked to someone who didn't bother to document his release." How odd. Chunji turned and bowed his head to the receptionist.
"I will be taking my leave. If there is any need to document my leave, I'll address it later." The consequences weren't of little matter; the apparition was getting away. Chunji sprinted after the afterimage. The whole situation was strange. How was the receptionist unaware of Davil's departure? Who was Davil talking to if it wasn't the receptionist? How long has it been since Davil left the clinic?
It was odd, too odd even. Chunji tried to figure out why Davil had left. Did the healing magic that he cast onto Davil have a strange effect? It is highly doubtful, as previous tests usually resulted in high volumes of pain. Was Davil trying to attend the attunement ceremony? There was a chance, but Chunji's experience with Rio dampened the possibility. That left Chunji with a pessimistic conclusion.
Davil held a dark secret. Everything led to that conclusion. Emelie's fake leg, Rio's aggression, Steeler's query, and many more instances only proved that conclusion.
Chunji prayed to the Lotus Serpent that when he found Davil, he wouldn't have to deal with the situation that Hildegrunde ran into when she chased after Steeler. He was already straining himself trying to find Davil; a fight afterward would be unideal.

It was odd. From the flimsy doors that allowed him passage to the vacant bed missing its patient. Empty vials littered on the desk left red traces of their residue. Chunji thought the haphazard consumption of potions was rather detrimental to the body's healthm. Moreso that the potions themselves were unlabeled. The wrong ingredients could spell the worst of sickness. Though that brought up a question. Did Davil dabble in alchemy? The skill would be surprising to the generally careless Davil, but impressive if he did make these potions.
Though, he should really focus on the subject of where Davil had disappear too. Chunji's eyes narrowed as he looked around the room. From the ceiling to the bed, it seemed Davil had truly disappeared from the room.
There was a moment that he considered activating his Ethos, but decided against it. If he had learned back at Alto's lesson then it meant he couldn't rely on his Ethos on all sitautions. That and the potential risk of using Ethos after attunement. That meant he had use other means to locate the missing patient. "Receptionist! I do not see the patient in his room. To remedy this I will be using magic to locate the missing person." Chunji called from the room. Better to tell the receptionist what he was doing.
Chunji clasped his hands together to perform a spell.

Finishing the spell with a few hand signs, Chunji hummed to himself. The spell required a necessary karma established between Davil and himself. Thankfully, he had healed Davil, so the spell would be quite effective. A spirit apparition that resembled Davil's shape manifested on the bed. It would enact Davil's actions and hopefully lead Chunji in on a clue to where Davil had gone.

@Nanaya
Is Chunji able to identify the potions, either from general knowledge or context clues such as labels, by examining them? If Chunji were to look outside the window, would he be able to spot Davil?
The medical receptionist is going to have a headache lol.

How will the Fight operate anyways? Will it be like Psyker and Estylwen duking it out like a 1x1 independent from the three of us?
