Alec wandered about the academy unhindered by anyone but himself.
There were no teachers patrolling, nor any students wandering about after their bedtime.
It was calm, almost peaceful.
It was at odds with the transmigrator academy that he had come to know in the past week.
It was almost strange, the way that even the most stubborn transmigrators went to sleep obediently, leaving the place barren and empty, bereft of their loud presences.
There were no eyes on him, which further confirmed to him that the higherups had likely asked them to leave him alone.
He didn't get detected at all, though by right, he should have been quickly locked on to. Otherwise, he would really doubted the security of this place.
Since he had only went out to check whether or not the security had become more lax, and he wasn't willing to have the people take action at this point of time, he quickly went to a few different places and 'took' a few things before leaving.
Within a scant half an hour, he was back within his dorm room.
Leaving behind no traces that he had been there, Alec re-entered his room, ignoring the slight flinch from the opposite bed.
Nicholas was so jumpy at times that Alec was a bit concerned about him.
He changed his clothes in a swift and efficient manner before lying back down.
Nicholas' eyes cracked open to peer at Alec curiously before he closed it again, feigning sleep until he really fell asleep.
Alec's lips twitched in amusement. This teen was really…

The next day, Alec went about their normal routine without showing that there was anything wrong.
On the other hand, Nicholas was feeling twitchy and paranoid. He kept looking around and glancing at people nervously, and it made Alec feel like he was helpless.
If there really was anyone who was keeping an eye on them, Nicholas' strange behaviour would no doubt fall into their eyes.
They might even think that he was the one who was the 'spy' for goodness' sake.
It was more than obvious that Nicholas had no experience in things like this.
His life in the other world must have been peaceful, right? That was a good thing. However, he was completely useless right now!
Alec grabbed him and the teen almost shouted out loud in alarm. His heartbeat skyrocketed, almost beating out of his chest.
Alec's lips twitched again. This teen was really nervous! What else could he say?
\"Look,\" Alec said, \"can you tone it down a bit? You're drawing a lot of attention to us.\"
Nicholas hissed as his heartbeat calmed down from being suddenly grabbed when he least expected it. \"Shit… did you really have to grab me so suddenly?\" he complained. \"I know, alright? But I can't convince my brain to turn it off and just relax.\"
Alec smiled at him, causing him to shiver. \"You don't have to 'turn it off'. What you have to do is embrace it and layer it over your perception. You have to be aware of it, but you can't let it dictate your actions.
\"It's just like when you learnt how to display a neutral expression when you're outside in front of the other student's eyes, right? It's the same concept.\"
The moment Alec explained it, he made it sound so easy. Nicholas felt like he'd been hit with a frying pan over his head. \"So simple?\"
Alec raised a brow. \"Just that simple.\"
Nicholas nodded lightly, and reined in his extra emotions, realizing that it was indeed easier now that he knew what he was doing. He was still twitchy and nervous, but he realized that it was because of the extra number of eyes on him whenever they passed anyone.
They were all looking at Alex and himself, which caused his paranoia levels to shoot up.
The more he showed what he was feeling, the more eyes there were on him.
He was actually surprised that no one had taken the initiative to challenge them today.
There had been a large number of people who had taken to challenging their team, but they had been savagely beaten down by Alex, who didn't hold back at all.
The challenges only started to peter off yesterday, and today, it had dropped to an all-time low.
Suddenly, he found it a bit funny. Maybe they thought that Nicholas had been baiting them to attack with how weak he was making himself seem. Especially when Alex was completely at ease.
Maybe they thought that they were trying to increase their ranking even further.
He couldn't help but quirk his lips when he thought of it, and a large number of gazes moved away, as if they had confirmed their guesses.
Nicholas quietly covered his face, resisting the urge to laugh.
For some reason, it was too funny!
\"Alright, don't laugh anymore,\" Alec said. He felt like he was taking care of a particularly silly child. He really didn't know what to do with him.
One look at his face and Alec knew that he had come to all the wrong conclusions that night, but it was convenient, so he didn't say anything about it.
Alec felt Aisha's eyes on him from a distance away before they disappeared, and he knew that she was trying to act discreetly to make sure that no one knew that she had been compromised.
She likely didn't know that they had already caught on.
He was still waiting for the inspector to appear.
At this moment, there was a large commotion, and there were countless whispers and curious questions in the air.
It seemed like the inspector had appeared.
Alec had been harbouring a faint hope that it would be the Inspector Fade from before, but there was no reaction.
There was a loud siren in the air, before the announcement came. \"Students, please return to your classrooms! Students, please return to your classrooms! Students, please return to your classrooms!\"
The announcement was made three times before it abruptly cut off.
The students made disappointed expressions as they all trudged back to their designated area.
They thought that they would be able to catch sight of the inspector this time.
If they managed to catch the eye of an inspector, then there were countless benefits! They would be on the fast-track to success.
Or so they thought.
It was more likely that they would be pumped full of something that would cause their potential to explode, causing their worth to rocket for a short amount of time before being stuck there infinitely.
According to Blanche, that was what had happened to that Meister that she fought back in the Awerk continent.
He had yet to find anything in this place that hinted that such a thing had been created by this group of people, but he supposed it made sense.
If, by any chance, one of the transmigrators got whiff of it from their abnormal luck, then it would be very messy to clean up!
They wanted the transmigrators ignorant, and each of them were a good asset to the company. Raising them up had cost a lot!
None of them even thought about how it was a Sunday, and that they should have had a rest day today. It made no sense that they were told to report to their classrooms like it was completely normal.
Alec and Nicholas returned to the classroom, and the instructor informed them that they were going on a forage in the forest to check on their skills today.
The pair exchanged a quick glance, and the smile on Alec's face widened a little.
It seemed like the company was more impatient than they showed. This was likely their ploy.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
