Then, unbelievably, under the gazes of everyone present, who almost thought that they had killed their boss on the first day, the grass that was revealed under their combined barrage was… empty!
That's right, it was empty!
How could Alec, who was the staunch believer or not courting death, allow himself to stay there where magic didn't have eyes and death was almost certain if he took all that magic head on?
Even if he had Awakened the impenetrability of his skin, it hadn't yet reached the case where he would come out unscathed under that concentrated a barrage of magic.
Needless to say, in the split second that the Sins had been distracted by Fenrir's howl in the distance, Alec had already moved himself away and into the forest, leaving behind a projection of himself that conveyed his voice real time.
If they had been careful enough, they would have seen that the despite how real the projection appeared, it did not reflect the breathing that a normal person should have.
The respect that the Sins felt for their new boss instantly shot up, causing their adrenaline levels and anticipation to light up. This wouldn't be as easy as they thought it would be.
Alec was stealthily moving further into the forest, using his advantage to the best of his ability.
He was here to win, not to have fair duels of honour with them.
Alec sporadically Awakened a bunch of trees around the Spectre base, gaining a better vantage point and maintaining his upper hand. He used the barest amount of magic so that he could feel the bonds between his Awakened, which were then deeply hidden into the trees themselves.

Speaking of which, it was interesting.
The trees that existed here in this place was alive. Alec was now sure that this was a separate dimension or plane from the normal world, so whatever happened inside here didn't affect the outside world no matter where they overlapped.
To make it easier for the Sins for their first-time training session with him, he did not use any of his concealment seals or any complex arrays that he had produced, instead relying on his Magitype and his purely physical body.
Though the clothes that the Spectres now wore had been Awakened by him already, Alec resolutely blocked off the advantage he had there, blocking off the bond that he felt.
While this was a challenge to them, it was also a challenge to himself to see whether or not he could escape from multiple pursuers that were after him at the same time.
Even though Alec could not use various types of offensive, defensive or support magic like them, Alec was fine playing a game of hide and seek with the Spectres.
Soon enough, they caught on that Alec must have entered the forest after thoroughly sending someone in to check the Spectre base.
Dominique was moving alone as he tried to channel his inner boss-radar to find Alec, but it wasn't so easy.
Alec didn't leave behind any visible trails that a tracker could use to sniff him out, nor was he using any magic.
Dominique's competitive nature was slowly waking up under the direct stimulus of the challenge that his boss had thrown at them. His purple eyes glowed under the cloth, but its luminescent quality didn't show any light thanks to the work that Alec put into it. Of course, it was another matter if you possessed the same seal on you.
A lithe figure that was smaller than the rest of the Spectres stepped forward, blocking off Dominique's path.
Dominique frowned. "It's you. What do you want?"
"Want to work together," Hayden said shortly. The magic that activated to change their voices didn't activate when there were only Spectres in the area.
Dominique stared at Hayden longer before turning away, his eyes cooler now. "No."
Hayden moved to block him off again.
Dominique started to get annoyed when his high was being interrupted by this interloper. He wanted to have a one-on-one fight with his boss, exchanging blows before suppressing or being suppressed.
Hayden didn't like to talk, but he still insistently talked to Dominique even when he had been so obviously rejected.
"Boss. Training. Work together."
Dominique wanted to brush off the teenager's words, but the words that he spoke wouldn't leave him alone. He walked a bit further before decisively making his decision.
Could it be that his boss really was trying to get them to work together instead of planning it alone? There was an inward struggle with himself as he weighed whether or not to heed his instincts or to follow his boss' objectives for this training session.
In the end, the part of him that wanted to please Alec still won out in the end, so Dominique reluctantly stopped.
"What do you have in mind?"
"We make a trap. I track, you attack. Okay?"
"Let's go."
Meanwhile, Rosabel and Yuki were trying their best to track down Alec, but he wasn't making it easy on them.
In the end, Yuki had to stop briefly and focus hard. Using his support Magitype, the colours of the world bleached out, leaving black and white.
There were various strands of magic that lingered in the air, but Yuki was looking for something else.
He scanned the trees and the ground, eventually locking onto a pair of footprints that were smaller than the rest, visible to only him. Yuki's Magitype worked using what he called 'presence' instead of anything solid.
Everything in the world had 'presence'. It didn't matter what it was, be it human, animal or any non-living object. So long as it moved, the trail could be found by Yuki.
Yuki's Magitype made him an excellent tracker, working well with Rosabel who would take care of whatever threats that came their way.
Maintaining his state of mind, Rosabel and Yuki tracked Alec's trail, only to run into Dominique and Hayden who were working together silently.
Rosabel raised a brow. "Well, looky here. If it isn't our sect's daddy boy Dominique and our baby Sin together?"
Yuki whacked the back of her head before her words could register in Dominique's mind. "Don't go around antagonising people while we have a we're on a mission."
Rosabel huffed, rubbing the back of her head. "Fine."
Yuki looked at Dominique and Hayden, his mind whirling. "Want to work together?"
The two Sins looked at the pair, thinking.
"Acceptable."
In another part of the forest, Alec allowed his 'trail' to be discovered by a group of three Spectres as a reward for actually thinking about working together.
This was good.
Alec reacted like he'd been startled when facing three attacks head on from the Spectres that were working together without any planning.
No group work at all!
Still, Alec lost the little red flag that tauntingly hung on his belt, causing the Sin who picked up the flag to make a sound of elation.
Alec smirked, hiding himself.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
