In the end, Blanche and Alec split apart, going in different directions without meeting up with Alec's group.
Blanche maintained that she would head further north to see whether or not the seal that Alec passed her to track the white robe's magical signature would react at all, but Alec knew that she only said so because she was giving him some space.
She'd probably come to the conclusion that Alec's growth was stagnating around her, which filled him with both gratitude and something that felt distinctly like he was sorry towards her.
However, she never once let on that was how she felt, and there was also a part of Alec that was thankful for his pride being spared.
Alec started gathering more information about the 'chaos' that had been abreast the various nearby cities. His brows were furrowed from the information he heard going around.
Some of them were even happened simultaneously, and Alec almost let out a groan.
He should have known that he couldn't count on the Main Characters to stay together without him.
They were just naturally drawn to the chaos – or rather, chaos followed them like a loyal hound, willing and able to pounce and lick its master at any time.
Alec thought about the various reports.
There were *so many*, damn it! He'd only left them alone for a few days!
Minor ones, major ones.
There were a multitude of minor ones, but the major ones were only one each, thankfully.
Alec didn't know *what* he would do if there were more than one.
This wasn't exactly their home continent, which meant that they had little to no power here.
There was a large group of people that had been savagely beaten up and all of them had varying severities of wounds. There were even a few casualties. The only reason why it blew up was because there were more than a few of them that were part of prominent families. They raved about the man that had attacked them in a black cloak. It made Alec's lips twitch. No doubt that the subtle marking on the cloak was still there.
A few young men missing their manhood – having been castrated by a whip-like weapon. They couldn't answer when asked who the perpetrator was, having had the fear of a woman put into them. They only trembled and said something vague about smiles… Three guesses on who that was. The first two didn't count.
And last but not least, a massacre at an apparent treasure-breeding site. Both young men and young women were found there, as well as apparent elders and guardians who were massacred just as badly. There was no trace left behind to indicate the person who had done such a heinous thing, but this was exactly Dominique's style before he became Alec's subordinate.
Alec frowned at the last one. Something must have happened to cause Dominique to snap like that.
He was already a Meister, and he had pretty much full control over his strength.
Basically, there was a large group of people that had been provoked by his three Main Character's actions and were calling out for the perpetrator's blood.
Alec felt the sudden onslaught of a headache when he finished going through the news.
The only good thing was that the people who'd been offended had no idea who was behind the sudden violence in surrounding areas.
No doubt that there was now a continent-wide manhunt for the people who'd hurt their precious heirs or guardians etc.
Alec very obviously *didn't* rub his forehead. He should have known better than to leave those trouble-seeking cats alone.
They really were exactly like cats!
He left them alone for *one week* and they went out and caused this amount of chaos already?!
If he left them alone for even longer, wouldn't they just run headlong into it?!
They even split up!
Was he really herding cats?! This was *not* in the job description! When Dorian asked him to be the leader of his new little group, he expected it to be mainly paperwork, which he was more than fine with. Not herding a bunch of cats!
For Sins, they usually already had a shorter attention span than usual and were more inclined to violence than not. It just meant that each one of them was worse than the previous.
And Main Characters… Don't even get him started.
Alec shoved away the headache with sheer willpower alone.
Since they'd already split up, there was little sense in getting them back together.
In this case, he'd go after Sekai first. He'd had a little breakthrough in the brand that was still on him after seeing the possession seal on the white robe previously.
Since no one was around him, Alec allowed himself to have a moment of weakness and sighed.

Sekai relaxed on the soft, green grass, lazily closing his eyes and lounging around.
After he'd gotten his revenge on those bunch of idiots, people had left him alone.
Of course, Sekai wasn't a complete idiot and had got out of dodge once he'd finished his revenge. He had no doubt that those morons would try and get him into trouble, but he was experienced in these affairs.
He'd worn his cloak from the fucking company – just so that they could get into more trouble, of course. If the people from this place went and actually started fucking with the company, there was nothing that would make him happier.
He made sure that his voice, his fighting style, and his looks were completely obscured.
Who said that he was just a reckless idiot?
Without the brand disrupting his thoughts at every given moment, his mind was clearer than ever.
He almost just wanted to stay on this continent forever without a care in the world.
When he was angry, he just donned the cloak and went out to wreak some morons before taking it off and relaxing when the resulting morons passed by him without a single thought that he could be the perpetrator.
Being able to vent his anger whenever he wanted was the life.
He was away from the bothersome subordinate of that damn System's, and he was far away from that unnaturally cheerful teenager.
What more could he want?
His thoughts were clear, there was no one to give him orders, and he could do whatever he wanted without having to live with anyone else's commands.
He was even willing to live in the goddamn forest despite how much he hated it if it meant that he would never have to listen to someone else's commands again.
That was how much he hated the damn company.
And he *despised* living in the forest. He had no idea how Elysia or Alec could do it so nonchalantly.
He hated it even more than he hated that bitch Xin Yi, but it still lost out to how much he hated the company.
If he could get rid of the brand that muddled his thinking as well as stopped him from turning against the higherups, he would gladly go back and slaughter them down to the very last member.
At the thought, Sekai grinned savagely.
But… too bad. That probably wouldn't happen.
Even the genius of a millennium, Alec Neil, also known as that damn System, couldn't figure it out in such a short period of time.
Sekai buried such thoughts deeper down. He knew it wasn't the System's fault, but there were times when his explosive anger got the better of him. It was a side-effect of the fucking brand that only increased his already hard to control anger.
He swore he wasn't such a hot head in his previous life. He'd just been a normal school student, living an ordinary life.
Sekai relaxed further onto the grass in the clearing, the sweet sounds of nature filtering into his ears. For once, he wasn't plagued with the instinct to fight and slaughter, and he was at peace.
He stretched out with true luxury, his back arching off the ground slightly.
Then, the sunlight beyond his eyes dimmed abruptly, and Sekai furrowed his eyebrows.
What happened to his glorious sun?
Opening his eyes, he almost got a heart attack when he suddenly saw Alec's smiling face above him.
"Fuck!"
Luckily, Sekai was already on the ground, otherwise something embarrassing would probably have happened.
Alec was obviously ticked, and though his smile remained the same, Sekai felt a chill go down his back.
Alec was pissed. How dare this Main Character laze around and have a damn nap when he couldn't!
He even had to clean up this idiot's messes for him! He should have just left it before he came to get him!
