Alec knocked on his master's door, where he was ushered into the room by the man.
Getting a good read of his master's face, Alec could see that he was both excited and anticipating Alec's presence at his door.
Seeing the man react this way, his master probably knew what he was here to do.
"Show me," Nathan said shortly. This further confirmed that the man already knew what he was here for.
The man dragged Alec into his private study, where it was soundproof and damage resistant.
It was the perfect place to test newly created arrays, and with his master at his back, Alec didn't have to worry about damage control if something went wrong.
Of course, he didn't believe that there was something wrong with his meticulous research, but that didn't mean that he wouldn't take precautions.
Nathan peered over Alec's notes and looked at the end result. He was satisfied with what he saw. He didn't think that he himself would be able to create something better than this without more research.
The array was something that opened the possibility of something similar to spatial sealing to them.
Not to be confused with the spatial dimension that couldn't work unless an Awakener was the one injecting their magic into the array, this was something that Alec came up with to hide his own ability in plain sight.
If everyone in his sect could use it, then naturally, there would be no one to question him when he used his own.
Of course, compared to spatial sealing, the array that he had created was worse in every way, but still useful.

Alec took out a brush and prepared the ink, slowly imbuing his magic into it. The ink remained as dark as before, having no visible changes to it.
As he drew, Nathan stood to the side, inspecting his disciple's progress. The array proficiency test was coming up soon, and Nathan had no doubt that his disciple would blow the rest of the competition out of the water.
He was filled with pride. Since Alec had produced this array himself, that meant that his disciple was free to use it in the proficiency test if he so liked. He had not given a single piece of guidance or pointed him in a direction.
The array that took place on the floor was magnified and drawn so swiftly and quickly that Nathan could tell the number of times it had been practiced. There was an easy grace and precision that flowed from the small hands of his disciple.
Nathan admired Alecris greatly in this aspect. He had only learnt for such a short time – a mere number of months, but he had already made so much more progress than a lot of the other disciples that were under the other seniors in the array division.
Having drawn the array with magic imbued ink, Alec was able to activate it with a single thought.
The array drawn glowed briefly before dimming again, but those with magic perception could tell that the array was active and alive.
Alec hefted over the desk that was placed in the middle of his master's study without a problem and placed it on top of the array.
Tugging lightly at the connection he had with the array, he made sure not to let any of his magic convert into his normal Magitype. This way, he could tell that the effects of the array were really from his work rather than his Magitype.
The desk abruptly shrunk at a speed that was visible to the naked eye before disappearing.
"It works," Alec said, a sense of satisfaction filling him. There was the feeling of a job done well, as well as the satisfaction that he felt when something he had put time and effort into worked out just as he hoped.
"Good job, Alecris," his master praised. "Now, I'd like my desk back, if you don't mind." The last part was spoken dryly.
Oh, right. He hadn't asked for permission and just blindly acted since he was used to working alone.
Alec's smile had a bit of sheepishness as he activated the array again.
This time, the array spat out the desk in reverse, and it abruptly grew larger from nothing.
It was a bit strange to watch, and he needed to tweak it further so that the size of it changing was quicker instead of this bit of lag before he could pass off his spatial dimension as this new array, but it worked!
Alec and Nathan both inspected the desk, and it didn't have a single other scratch on it that wasn't there before.
It worked perfectly well and didn't disintegrate upon coming into contact with his hand, so Alec counted it as a win.
Nathan visibly smiled; a rare occurrence that showed how happy he truly was right now.
"Good. What is this array's name?"
Alec's smile gentled even further, and it was smaller as well.
"Magnitude seal."
"Alecris, take part in the upcoming array proficiency test. In two weeks, you shall descend the mountain and head to Psyberion City. I will make the necessary provisions. In two weeks, you should bring all your notes with you as well as your tools and converge at the bottom of the array division's peak. Make your preparations for handing over your other duties as well."
Alec blinked and looked at his master with surprise, but obliged, nonetheless. "Yes, master. How long will I be gone from the sect?"
"I expect it will take a month or so, if there are no other problems."
"Yes, master."
Nathan nodded, the pleased glint still in his eyes.
Seeing that his master had nothing else to impart to him at this time, Alec got up and painstakingly broke up the array, pulling his magic from the lines and runes before carefully breaking a line in the array, rendering it inoperative. Then, he took a clean cloth and scrubbed at the floor, erasing all traces of the array that had been there earlier. There wasn't a single wasted movement in his actions.
It was only when he was satisfied that there wasn't a single remaining trace did he gather his notes and took his leave.
Nathan saw his disciple out with his eyes, feeling the satisfaction settle deep within him.
Then, he looked at the blank floor and lamented slightly. He hadn't been able to stop the boy before he had so quickly rendered the array useless – something else that had been practiced over and over again.
Nathan had wanted to study the array further!
Luckily, Alec had not included a cipher in his array which would stop others from copying it, likely out of consideration for his master, so Nathan was able to recreate it himself and play around with it.
Just because he couldn't find anything to improve with it at first glance didn't meant that there wasn't any!
Deep down, Nathan felt the competitive fires that had not burned so brightly in him since the day he first picked up the art of array making start up again.
Now, it wouldn't do for him to lose to his disciple. He had to work harder as well!
