At the base of the array division's peak, there were a group of figures mingling and chatting. Both male and female made up the crowd of twenty.
Judging from the way they broke up and chatted in twos or threes, they knew each other well. Their bonds had been forged through time and contact. Some of them had been in the sect for no less than a decade, and they were finally confident enough that they could take the array proficiency exam.
The chatter hushed and stuttered lightly when a tiny figure approached them. His steps were soundless, but he walked slowly. Dressed in the sect's colours of blue and white, the boy appeared fresh and charming. He gave off a gentle feeling to those that glimpsed at the faint smile that hung on his lips.
There was a purple wolf that hung over his arm obligingly, giving off occasional sparks as its head took in its surroundings, and a rather large bunny-like creature that hopped next to him, looking docile and cute.
A bunch of adorable creature lovers wanted to rush up and cuddle the two creatures, but valiantly held back.
To the rest, the sight was bizarre, but not something that they were unused to seeing these days.
Most of the disciples of the array division still hadn't decided their attitude towards this direct disciple of the elder that had popped up from nowhere. Some even said that he hadn't passed the sect's entrance exam and had instead come in from the back door.
They didn't know whether the boy had some special background that pressured the elder into taking him in.
All these years, the elder had never taken in a single direct disciple even if he gave lectures semi-frequently.
As the division leader, elder Nathan was the highest ranked amongst their peak. It also meant that the new disciple should have been higher ranked than all of them, but they never felt its effects.
It was the general consensus amongst the disciples that the boy wasn't quite liked amongst his peers – it never seemed like he wanted anything to do with his fellow disciples at all. He never talked or interacted with any of them, instead preferring to stick to himself and his creatures.
Still, the boy was a direct disciple of elder Nathan, which meant that he was afforded with the base amount of respect, even if they didn't feel it personally.
As such, though the group parted ways for him, they didn't make a move to include him in their conversations, but neither did they obviously ostracize him.
Alec didn't seem to mind not having anyone else to talk to as they waited for the elder that was going to bring them.
Bunbun and Fenrir had been causing trouble in the sect – more specifically, they had been causing trouble at Kieran and Dietrich's peak, going around and eating a few herbs that the peak had been growing, as well as terrorizing a few of the newer disciples.
Alec didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard that. No wonder he'd felt glee at the most random times across their bond.
Kieran had all but begged him to take them back so pleadingly that Alec had told him that he would be gone for a month. The abject misery on his nephew's face had caused him to laugh before bringing Bunbun and Fenrir away.
The things they'd gotten up to when he let them be! No wonder they'd been reluctant to leave Kieran and Dietrich.
Eventually, the elder still hadn't shown up after ten minutes.
One of the disciples, visibly younger than the rest of them, locked his eyes on Alec's form.
He was roughly fourteen or fifteen years old, but the gaze that landed on Alec's form was distinctly unfriendly, especially when compared to the rest of the disciples that didn't seem inclined to make a move.
The teen stepped forward, eyeing Alec with a distinct antagonistic gaze.
"Oh, if it isn't our division's elusive senior disciple?" the teen said, a sneer pulling at his lips. Just who did this kid think he was? Clause couldn't stand the fact that his other senior disciples had to avoid the boy like they were the ones who would come off worse.
A few of the older disciples frowned when they heard his words, but only an older female disciple quietly said his name. "Clause," she said warningly.
Clause gave her a look, and she frowned further but didn't say anything else.
Alec blinked slowly seeing the teen that was the youngest disciple here besides himself, was directing his words at him. "And you are?"
Clause's eyes narrowed into a glare. "Clause Montague. Disciple under elder Faye."
"Alecris Neil under elder Nathan."
Clause's face flushed red, his glare intensifying. "Yes, we all know that. Our elusive senior disciple Alecris never interacts with any of us, yet he's still held in such high regard by our division's leader. It's this junior disciple's fortune to be able to bask in your presence," he said mockingly. "How many strings did the prestigious Neil Clan pull for you to be admitted into our sect?"
"Mm," Alec said. He was too lazy to bother with a kid's antagonism when he hadn't even done anything to deserve it. He couldn't even get angry because of how immature he was acting.
For some reason, though the teen was acting out like this, Alec did not feel any malicious intentions from the teen. It felt more like he was throwing a tantrum that Alec had no idea the reasoning of.
Alec patted Bunbun absently, which only made Clause's face flush harder in anger, feeling like the boy was mocking all of them.
The female disciple that had called Clause's name earlier pulled him back, seeing that elder Faye was coming.
The elder appeared to be in her early or mid-thirties and possessed an easy grace to her that spoke of confidence. "Faye Fable, for those that don't know me. You may call me elder Faye. We will be well acquainted on this trip. Let us depart. No further dallying."
As she said her last words, she shot a stern glare at Clause, who scowled but didn't say anything further. It seemed that she knew how he felt about Alec and wasn't willing to tolerate it right now.
"Whatever arguments you possess with each other, it is to be kept within the sect. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, elder Faye," the disciples echoed back.
"Good. Come."
They were led to a teleportation array within the sect.
The array was a work of art. Both complex and widespread, there were countless safeguards in place imbued within the design of the array to prevent any accidents.
Faye was gratified when she saw the interest with the disciple's eyes when they scanned the array before them.
She caught sight of Nathan's new disciple's eyes that tracked the air rather than the lines that were stationary on the ground and felt that the man really had high standards.
No wonder he had hastily accepted this disciple, if he possessed an innate advantage that he himself boasted. After all, they would only truly be able to pass on everything that they learnt if both master and disciple possessed the same physical capabilities.
Nathan Cain was the only one within the array division that boasted of rune sight. No one else in the division could see the runes that floated through the air. As such, the way they broke down and studied arrays were vastly different.
Usually, those with rune sight would excel in this field, so she hoped that his personality matched the feeling he gave off usually.

Her naughty disciple would be in for a hard time. She knew that Clause had set up the boy as a rival in his mind – well, he would learn sooner or later.
The young boy wasn't as simple as he seemed.
