Curse The Mainframe! 130 Training Exercise

The resulting scene from Alec bringing Dominique to the sect master to report was hilarious on both ends.

Both father and son naively thought that the other hadn't recognised each other.

Alec expertly hid this amus.e.m.e.nt the entire time that Dominique reluctantly conversed with his father.

Dorian's slight twitches whenever he heard his son's pure-sounding voice and Alec's unmatched voice gave him no end to his amus.e.m.e.nt.

Alec even decided that he'd send Dominique to report to the sect master in his stead from now on.

The two were awkward as f.u.c.k with each other.

More than saying that they didn't get along, it was more that the two had no idea how to communicate at all.

By sending Dominique to do the reports, Alec was giving them a chance to get to know each other outside of their 'father and son bond' that they seemed to be chained to, giving them a chance to learn about each other with an open mind.

He definitely wasn't getting any amus.e.m.e.nt from doing this. Not at all.

The next day, Alec called the Sins to gather in the Spectre base without a warning.

It was four in the morning, and Alec had prepared his plan for the day. He still hadn't gone to sleep from yesterday, but his magic was keeping him afloat.

Right now, there wasn't anything as urgent as getting the Sins all up to par with Alec's vision of how the division's standards should be and about how they should behave.

Until that was solved, the Sins could not be allowed to go out onto the field.

Standing in the field outside the Spectre base, Alec silently counted the minutes.

Dominique appeared within three minutes, appearing before Alec and standing still like he was a ghost. He didn't say anything, only nodding at Alec.

Four minutes in, Rosabel and Yuki appeared, followed by the slow trickle of a few other Sins.

When it took fifteen minutes before everyone was finally gathered, Alec's face was completely black.

Thankfully, they all had the good sense to change into the division's uniform before coming, otherwise Alec would have lost his temper for real.

Since Alec told them that there was a Magnitude Seal, the Sins had all checked it before long, which pleased him. After all, someone who didn't bother to learn about the pros and cons on the seal that was quite literally stuck onto them was an idiot.

The general mood of the Spectres were disgruntled and annoyed, but they were all silenced by the pressure that emanated from Alec's body.

Even when they couldn't see his expressions, they vaguely felt that the domineering aura that pressed down on them made it hard to breathe.

This, inexplicably, made their bad mood lighten up.

Alec inwardly felt a little speechless when he keenly felt that the mood in the area got lighter when Alec pressured them but didn't show it.

He should have known that the Sins all leaned towards the m.a.s.o.c.h.i.s.tic side... like Dominique?

Of course, Alec was wrong this time.

It just so happened that Sins respected strength, so taking a soft stance with them the first time around would never allow them to respect you whether it be your actions or your words.

Yet, the Sins still wanted people to treat them normally after they tested whether or not the person was worthy of respect, forming a contradiction that had likely led the majority of Sins to be shunned by the majority of uninformed society.

Fifteen minutes to gather.

Alec was not in a happy mood, but he also hadn't been expecting much when he had called them for the first time.

Though, even if he hadn't been expecting much, fifteen minutes was just too long for him to accept! How quickly did situations change in just fifteen minutes? This delay was unacceptable.

As such, Alec was habitually smiling at the Spectres, but the aura that Alec gave off only became more pressurizing. It was strange. Clearly, Alec looked like a clean and fresh young boy that would give others a refres.h.i.+ng feeling, but when he was annoyed, there was a pressure that caused those around him to pay attention.

Under the increased pressure, everyone was silent and obedient, like a mouse cowering in the presence of a cat.

"Fifteen minutes," Alec said slowly. The Spectres all felt an impending sense of danger creep up on them, causing them to s.h.i.+ver happily. "When I call, you are only allowed to take five minutes."

What Alec left unsaid was that he would be continuing to do this randomly until everyone was able to meet his standards.

Not only did the Spectres not complain, some of them nodded compliantly, throwing Alec for a bit of a loop.

Still, he didn't let them off, starting the 'training'.

The area around the Spectre base was a wide forest that stretched on as far as the eye could see.

Alec pulled out a small red flag, showing it to them.

"You are to steal this from me within three hours. Five minutes preparation time."

As soon as Alec finished speaking, the Sin's eyes were gleaming under the cloth at the prospect of being able to properly gauge the fighting capacity of their new 'boss'. Even if his aura had convinced them, they still wanted to see where they stood against him.

Alec was planning on using this time to thoroughly pin them under his foot so that he would not face any opposition later on.

While Alec might have lost to them in a one-on-one situation while he stood on a platform with judges watching his every move, it was another matter for him to play around with them in the forest.

There was a faint sound of a howl in the distance, causing the Sins to look in that direction.

Hayden was the first to disappear into the forest surrounding them, triggering two-thirds of the Sins to follow his actions.

There was no glory in attacking someone with overwhelming numbers.

The other one-third of the Spectres stationed themselves near Alec, locking eyes on his form and the little red flag that was attached to his belt.

Rosabel visibly hesitated before she followed after Yuki. Between the two of them, Yuki generally had the better plans. She restrained her urge to charge right in and start fighting with Alec.

Her instincts were telling her that she wouldn't win if she continued down that path.

Sure enough, the moment that the five-minute grace interval was up, the one third of the Spectres that remained behind made their moves against Alec.

A number of low-powered magic flew towards the area where Alec was still standing casually, made with the intention to bind him there or cause a small amount of harm.

The various coloured magic sped towards Alec who was still standing there without a concern, causing some of their hearts to leap to their throats.

What if he couldn't dodge it? Wouldn't they have committed murder on a child that small?

Added to the fact that he was their sect's renowned genius, they could forget about leaving the sect with their lives intact!

Even while they regretted it after they used their magic, magic didn't have eyes after it had been discharged, so they were unable to stop it. They had momentarily been riled up by their boss' words, causing them to see red.

Under their eyes, the magic clashed in a blinding show of colour and light, momentarily blinding them.
