The moment old man Alderic entered the city, he headed straight for the city gate to question the guards responsible for checking the identification of everyone exiting the city, he needed to confirm whether Alec and his group had already left or were still within the city.
However his luck wasn’t that good, because when he asked, the black-armoured guards at the gate did describe Alec in detail because he had been there, even going on to mention that they had verified his student badge—which was clearly unique due to his Earth ranking number etched on it.
From their report, it was quite evident to Old man Alderic that Alec and his group had left the city for quite some time now, causing Alderic’s expression to darken, for both the dean and Edward, it felt strange to be so worried over a mere Tier 6 mage entering the second dimension.
