Alec stood before a bunch of Spectres that didn't want to meet his gaze. Some of them had (quite happily) taken each other out of the running using their own disputes about who ended up with the flag.

Alec felt his head ache at the lack of teamwork that they were displaying, even if he had been banking on that to win their little training session.

At least some of them had enough sense, even if they had been knocked out by Bunbun and Fenrir.

Still, this was in line for his expectations when he first held this training session for them. He was thankful that it wasn't any worse, really.

If the first time they met and went against each other didn't end in the other side's complete defeat, then Alec hadn't yet achieved his purpose! Now that he had, he could rest easier.

Alec wasn't really a genius like everyone portrayed him. It was just that he appeared more mature than the rest of his peers, so the adults around him naturally slotted him the title of 'genius' without him doing anything.

The title left a bad taste in his mouth.

Sure enough, now that they'd been 'taken care' of in the area that they held the most pride in, the Spectres were more docile, and the way they looked at him had changed.

Where before there had only been the smallest embers of respect, it had increased a notch now, even if he hadn't won most of them over yet.

That was fine with the System.

He didn't believe that they wouldn't eventually submit if he kept beating them during training. He would continuously grind them down until they were all usable and sensible.

Alec's fingers twitched, itching for a weapon to use.

He'd have to procure one later on for training purposes.

The Spectres stared at the young boy who looked fresh and innocent.

He hardly looked like he had taken a run in the woods with them.

Compared to him, the Spectres looked like they'd gone through a fight and lost miserably – and they had.

Some of them didn't even lose to Alec, Bunbun or Fenrir and instead lost it because of the disputes they had with another Spectre, which just made them feel more shameful when they finally cleared their mind afterwards.

Now that they had sobered up from the anger that had triggered them in the first place, they felt like they'd completely lost any face that they originally had.

They even lost to a little boy and his pets!

The facts were placed in front of them, cold and hard. Even if they didn't want to admit it, they didn't have a choice.

Alec had won the game, and that was enough for them to at least grudgingly listen to his orders.

Alec swept his eyes over the Sins standing still.

The place was silent, as if there wasn't a group of Sins silently standing in place.


Anyone who had interacted with them before would have felt a cold chill run up their back. Were these really the same people that never listened to any form of authority at the best of times?

Even when Fenrir and Bunbun went around causing trouble for the Sins, they didn't make a move to retaliate, yet none of them even thought about shrinking back.

A few of those that were in the crowd sported forming bruises on the backs of their knees and their necks. Others had poofy, singed hair, causing Alec's lips to twitch inwardly at the comical sight the Sins made.

"So, losing to an eleven-year-old boy in something that you should be able to achieve easily. How does it feel?"

The smile on Alec's face was warmer than it was usually, which was an even bigger slap in the face. Unsaid were the words that they'd charged in with barely any planning, underestimating him.

Their faces flushed from the slap that had landed soundly on their faces.

This served as a wake-up call for them. Because of Alec's actions, even the most stubborn of Sins under his care started to wake up and think harder before taking any actions in the future.

In the future, the Spectres would be well known for their flexible teamwork, but that was a story for another day.

"Pair up in twos. You're going to spar."

The Spectres didn't dally, having already shamed themselves in front of their new boss.

They appeared especially obedient after having suffered a shameful loss, satisfying Alec for the time being.

Alec didn't say anything more. He used the seals that were the trademark of the Spectres, locking away their usage of magic into their body. Until Alec allowed them, they would not be able to use any of their magic externally.

The moment their magic was beyond their reach, all the Sins in the area staggered.

The feeling of disharmony and imbalance that their body made them feel a sense of vertigo that left them feeling dizzy.

As they recovered and adjusted from the feeling, their boss' words filtered into their ears.

"This is what it feels like when you no longer have access to your magic. You are to fight without using your magic with your sparring partner. Begin."

After Alec had driven each Spectre into the ground with his use of the Authority seal, he finally allowed them to go and rest. The lack of magic playing a large part in their stamina depleting a lot quicker than it originally would have.

The latent magic that ran through them was usually used without much thought, increasing stamina, fitness and strength etc. By reducing their magic usage, this meant that their muscles produced lactic acid quicker.

This was the quickest way to increase their combat efficiency and show productive results. Prolonging this type of training would allow them to be stronger than most others out there so Alec wouldn't have to worry about them being bullied while he was gone.

If those the Spectres had bullied heard Alec's words, they would have spat their saliva. When would those Sins ever be bullied by them? They were the ones being bullied, ah! Even if he wanted to speak nonsense, he couldn't go too far!

Alec sent them off to recover inside the Spectre base, where they would be met with more training the next day.

Alec returned to the room that he'd marked for himself in the Spectre base.

He had already informed his master that he wouldn't be seeing the other for a few weeks or a month at least, and the rest of the Sins had been marked to appear on 'missions' by the sect master.

Now he finally had the time to continue checking out the changes to the [System's System] that he didn't manage to before.

He had been up planning all night for the training that the Spectres would go through.

Luckily, his planning paid off, and the Spectres now seemed to accept his presence, however reluctant they may be.

Opening the [System's System], he immediately clicked on the [Main Character Page].

Since the closest Main Character to him was currently Dominique, he clicked on [Dominique Falren].

However, before he could click on it, there was a blaring message that popped up instead, stunning him.
