The next day, Alec was summoned to the sect master's side formally, which surprised not only himself, but his master as well.
Nathan frowned lightly, but still brought his disciple with him to the sect master's residence, which was on the famous Indomitable Peak. The highest on the peak, the residence there looked like something that Immortals themselves lived in.
Just what did the sect master want with his disciple? Though the two had met, it wasn't like they had conversed besides once outside of Solitary Confinement Peak, as far as Nathan was aware.
Was this about his disciple's participation in the array proficiency exam? Still, the sect master trusted him regarding the decisions of his peak, so Nathan did not think that was likely either.
The residence was wide and sprawling, holding majesty without pretentiousness. Surrounded by the special clouds that were so representative of their sect, it looked like something out of a picture book.
The clouds gathered low on the ground, as if something was keeping it there, which caused the visual illusion that they were walking on the clouds. However, each step proved that they were indeed walking on hard ground. It was vaguely misty all around and seeing further was impossible.
Just walking to the courtyard, a disciple appeared to usher them in.
"Greetings elder, junior brother," the disciple greeted courteously. "This way, please."
The disciple led them into the residence with no further delays, showing them to a door.
Knocking, Alec heard the familiar mellow tones of the sect master. "Enter."
The disciple bowed and took their leave, leaving just Nathan and Alec standing outside.
Alec pushed open the door and allowed his master to enter first, entering after.
"Sect master."
Dorian was seated on a cushion placed on the floor, a table in front of him. He gestured for both master and disciple to take their places.
The three sat in silence as Dorian poured tea for the three of them, a show of his sincerity and hospitality. They were not meeting in his office, nor was this the place where meetings were held, as this was something that he wished for to come across as a favour instead of demanding.
The sect master sipped lightly on his tea, watching as master and disciple drank as well.
The silence lingered longer, but no one made a move to break the silence.
The more Dorian observed, the more he thought that he would be able to entrust it to this young disciple.
The young boy was diligent, had patience, smarts and seemed to be a calming influence on his extremely volatile son. Furthermore, the young boy was bound to his master, whom he knew was completely loyal to their sect, so he would not have to worry as much.
Finally, Dorian put down the cup on the table, the clink on wood drawing both Nathan and Alec's attention as it seemed that the sect master was finally about to tell them why he had called for them to his residence of all places.
He'd finally made up his mind when he saw Alecris again in person. The earlier doubts that he had were placed aside. Since he had decided to use this young boy, then he would entrust it to him if he met the standards.
"I'd like to ask something of you, Alecris."
Alec didn't blink, maintaining his character. "By all means, sect master."
"Would you be amendable to being in charge of a new division that houses the Sins of the sect?"
Alec paused and Nathan narrowed his eyes.
"Sect master," Nathan said lowly, displeasure coating his tone. "Alec is still under my jurisdiction. He has hardly been in the sect for a few months, let alone a year."
"Yes," Dorian said calmly, picking up and sipping at his tea again. "Which is why you are here as well."
"You throwing him into that group would be the same as throwing a sheep into a pack of wolves," Nathan continued in a low voice.
"Is it?" Dorian said, his calm demeanour unshaken. "I believe that your young disciple is more capable of it than you think. After all, he has 'tamed' my son quite effectively. I believe he is quite capable excelling. But I digress. Though I would like Alecris to take charge, the group I'm planning to form will not be known to the sect. At least, the sect will not know who is inside the group apart from those already within it."
"I accept," Alec said, disregarding the look that his master was shooting him. "On the condition that those within Solitary Confinement Peak are let out."
A rare smile curved onto Dorian's face, which made his handsome but severe features lighten up greatly, dazzling Nathan, who had not seen the sect master smile in all the years.
[Dorian Falren Intimacy Increase +100]
[Dorian Falren feels friendlier towards you.]
Alec resisted the urge to squint slightly. Why did it feel more like he was playing a dating game with the intimacy increases? It was highly disturbing and slightly traumatic. It made him feel strange. Just what was the point of this?

"Should the new division come into play, you should note that it will not only be the Sins that stand a chance of being recruited. Of course, you will report and answer only directly to me, no matter what anyone else tells you in the future."
Nathan frowned. "Still. Alecris is only eight years old still. How will he keep them in line?" Not only was the sect master throwing his precious disciple a hot potato, he wouldn't get any recognition for it either.
"You can make an array, can't you?" Dorian directed at Alec instead.
Alec paused at the question. He was sure that he would be able to develop something given enough time, but the sect master trusted him with this?
"I can."
"Show me the array, and we will talk again. Nathan, you are not to help him."
Alec replied affirmatively, both of them leaving the sect master's residence.
"I really don't know what the sect master is trying to do. Still, even with the creation of the group, this means that no one will know who's the real 'elder' of the new division."
Alec nodded.
He could tell that the real reason why his master was so worried was because he would likely face hazing and troubles from all directions if they knew that the new 'elder' was just an eight-year-old boy that had just joined the sect.
Not only that, since Alec didn't seem to have any combat skills (that his master was aware of, the man was naturally worried.
Alec thought that it was likely the man would be step up his privileges to increase his combat efficiency if he was this worried.
His master truly was transparent at these times – where he worried openly about Alec. The System had no defence against this type of unabashed affection for himself, so he felt affectionate in return.
Alec was pretty sure that his master thought he was being quite hard to read, but Alec thought otherwise. The man could not have been more obvious had he shouted it out loud from the rooftops, with how many little gifts the man had plied him with in the past couple of days.
