(Continuing Rika POV)

… Well, it seems that Alexander's silence was not because he felt pressured by that old man… it was more because he probably did not remember who Senior Ern was talking about!

Yes, I agreed with Rei on this. If you ask me, it seemed to me that Alexander had a kind of filter in his head which rejected or erased anything that he was not interested in from his brain! In Kurisu's words, he had something like a kind of photographic memory, only that he classified the things that he considered important so as not to forget them and the others simply were discarded.

…Well, was that, or was he just trying to ignore the things that didn't matter to him.

Either way, hearing Alexander and the other girls arguing, the old man's face turns a bit awkward. Although I think that was normal… he had just learned that the fellow named Velrut lost the position of the main disciple of the sect to Alexander.

And that fact was not impossible, after all, it was common knowledge that the sect's disciple tournament had been held a couple of days ago... even I had found out about it, I just didn't expect Alexander to have returned earlier to participate in this one. So it is also a surprise to me that he has obtained the position of the main disciple now.

…Thinking about that, even though it wasn't me who had won, I feel a certain pride in this.

"T-That's a lie! How could you defeat Prince Velrut?! That's impossible! You're just a brat who's wet behind your ears!! "

"" ... ""

Now it seemed that he refused to accept it... but unfortunately for him, when he looks around as if looking for support for his words, he only meets the pale face of the new core disciple Kenl and his henchmen... it seems that all of them were aware of this.

It wasn't strange, most of them must have participated in the tournament, so at least some of them must have seen that fight. The strange thing was the way these guys act when they see Alexander… I can understand that they turn pale when they don't want to antagonize him, but… why do they curve their body a little and take poses as if they were trying to cover their crotch?

"Well, sadly for you, that's true. After defeating the siscon-prince, now the main disciple of the sect is me. "

"..."

"...no, you didn't just defeat him, you ended up with him as a man."

“…Tell me, seriously none of you can believe my words?

...Saeko? "

"...don't worry, Alex-san, I know you had good intentions in doing what you did"

Well… from the words of the girls I hear, I have some idea why all this… Alexander can be quite ruthless after all. And seeing how he tries to defend himself from those accusations from the girls and even Saeko who is one of the girls who defends him the most of all does not seem to fully support his words this time, without a doubt the things that happened in the tournament must have been quite bad.

Now also like Rei, I have a bit of pity for that fellow… I'm sure Alexander must have done something very bad during the fight between both of them.

“I… I have to go back now. M-Miss Rika, it seems like everything from before has been a misunderstanding… I apologize for that."

"..."

Probably before verifying that what Alexander was saying was true that old man will not do anything now... he was a rather cautious person so it seems. With his departure, then in the place, there are only those disciples of the sect that now seemed to be standing on needles...

"W-We're going too... goodbye"

"Wait... who are you?"

So when an awkward silence, especially for those guys, filled the place, they tried to escape. Sadly for these guys, Alexander stops them. They don't seem to have the courage to ignore his words, therefore they all stop their feet and slowly turn around.

"W-We are-"

"Alexander-sama, they were trying to intimidate us earlier!"

Before core disciple Keln could lie or make an excuse, the one speaking was one of the girls next to me. Also, all the others nod to her words to support those words. Then, hearing this girl, those disciples' feet began to tremble.

By the way... where did the girls who looked with cold eyes at all the men?! They were as if they were now completely different girls from before! Ever since Alexander appeared on the spot, these girls' eyes were shining as they saw him!

Even the girl who spoke, when Alexander lays his eyes on her when he hears her speak, she almost seems to want to swoon over just for that! What happened to the soldiers who were by my side until a few minutes ago?! Now they were like fan-girls meeting the person they idolized! No… they even looked like believers who met their god!!

Those girls that Leona and I trained now acted like innocent teenagers… well, I think it's that girl's fault! The brainwashing she did was too strong!! Those girls would certainly do whatever Alexander asked of them now.

…Also, the worst thing was that Leona's indoctrination was a creed that remained in the organization [Alexander-sama's servants] until now… all the girls to join the group had to go through this!

"Oh ~ I see..."

"N-No, it's not like that, Alexander-san... no, Alexander-sama!"

"Oh~ So you are calling these girls liars?~"

"N-No! O-Of course not… t-it's just a misunderstanding! B-Besides, we didn't know that they had any relationship with Alexander-sama, so please forgive us!! "

"" I-It's true! ""

"Oh~ So now I'm to blame for meeting these girls before?~"

"N-No, it's not like that... w-we dare not say or try to control what you do, Alexander-sama..."

“…Do you know what the main reason for my fight with the prince-siscon was? Believe it or not, and... maybe could sounds cliché, but it was because of a girl… and the result of that has probably already been seen by all of you~"

"" H-Hiii! P-Please, forgive us!! ""

...others who totally changed their attitude were those sect disciples. Before they probably couldn't wait to vent their lust on these girls and me… now, they were so pale you could mistake them for ghosts! Also, the more Alexander pressed them, the more and more tears ran down their cheeks!

If he intimidates them a little more, they might end up peeing their pants!! So I wish he to stop now... I would feel a bit sorry for the girls since they are the ones who would have to take care of that mess.

Finally, his last words made them collapse on the ground while their bodies did not stop shaking... I am sure that the little turtle of these men who was quite animated when they saw the girls and me, was now totally hidden inside his shell...

“Well… I'll forgive you for this time, but… you have to do me a favor. I want you to spread the information that this organization is under my command... furthermore, also under the command of Elder Kushinada.

If I find out that someone is trying to intimidate these girls again... you will be the first to blame since it seems that you did not do your job well in spreading that information so that it reaches other people"

"Y-Yes! W-We will handle that there is no one in the sect who does not know about this! "

"Y-Yes, even in the cities around the sect won't be a single person left who doesn't know about this!!"

Alexander must have quickly understood what this whole problem was about and was trying to fix it quickly. Haaa~ If people find out that this organization is related to the main disciple of the sect, my problems should now decrease quite a bit. I was really grateful for that. Now things like now shouldn't happen easily.

But… what caught my attention the most was the woman he pointed out… she was a new face… no, there was another new girl besides her too! The most likely thing is that he end up bringing these girls where he came from this time… it seems our group has increased again.

…Well, the truth is this doesn't surprise me very much anymore, haaa~.

"How have you and the girls been, Rika?"

“…Well, we've only had a few annoyances so far, but nothing very important. And as you can see, we are all fine. Besides, now it seems that we won't have many more problems thanks to you. "

"I think Alexander-sama has gotten a bit taller now~"

"Yes~ Besides, he's also a bit more manly, right?"

"What are you saying? Alexander-sama has always been the most wonderful man in the world”

"Yes, that is true!"

With all that group finally leaving the place, Alexander refocuses his attention on me. I try to explain the things we have done since we arrived in this area and the plans for the organization of these girls, but… the comments that were heard around us were a bit annoying!

…And not only did I feel that way, but Alexander also seemed to feel a bit pressured by the idolatry of these girls!

In the end, after sending them to do their respective work, I can talk to Alexander and the others quietly. He also tells me what he had been doing lately, and that he would return to Delna tomorrow if nothing happens to stop him.

(POV 3rd Person Sect [Thousand Cauldrons])

"...that's all that happened in the [7 Mountains] sect"

"Un, I see... so there is a new main disciple in that sect."

“Yes… besides, he's quite young. He is probably not older than 15 years. Furthermore… there were also several new disciples in that sect with quite outstanding talent. Not much different from the girl in the Mess family. "

"..."

In a hall in the [Thousand Cauldrons] sect, some of the elders that Alexander had met in the [7 Mountains] sect were telling a man all the information of what they saw there.

“…Well, we shouldn't worry too much about that. Even though you say that those new disciples of the [7 Mountains] sect are very good, they won't be able to change anything in our plans.

By the time they could develop we should have been able to control this entire Area! Even they could become important pieces for us in the future!"

"That's true, 1st brother... we should soon be able to control this entire Area!"

Suddenly, 3 other elders enter the place and someone intervenes in such a conversation. Furthermore, if several of the leaders of other mid-level organizations or even the 3 great families saw them now, they would be shocked! These people that arrived had an aura of someone at the 9th limit of the second soul level!

Until now, in this Area, only the 3 great families had people of this level... which undoubtedly changed things a lot in this Area.

“No, 1st brother and 3rd brother… we can't rush things. Even though now in the sect we have 3 people at the ninth limit of the second soul level, we don't know if those families could hide some forces… besides, we, like Alchemists, cannot compare ourselves with the old ones of those Families who have fought all their lives with each other!"

“The 2nd brother is right… we cannot rush on this. We can still further strengthen our sect… the 5th and 6th brothers shouldn't take long to reach the ninth limit as well, and many other Elders in our sect should reach at least the 8th.

Furthermore, we cannot forget to take control of other organizations..."

“…Well, what the 2nd and 4th brother say is reasonable. I was just a little excited. "

The 1st brother that was mentioned, was none other than the Sect Master. His 7th limit strength was certainly not much different than the other mid-level organizations, but this was all about a facade... or rather, the strongest people in the sect were not the Sect Master as in other organizations.

The reason for this was none other than to carry out his said plans. As the Sect Master kept in front of the public eye, his other siblings had been getting stronger for the past few years. After all, without a doubt, this sect was the best in terms of resources to increase strength!

"... it seems that we will have to wait a little longer to take control of this entire Area! But that will certainly be soon... very soon!

For now we will continue in the same way as before... others must strive to attract more allies for this to avoid any future setbacks.

We will surely become the strongest sect in Plozart!!"

""Yes""
