Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent! - Chapter 246

Chapter 246: Report
“Hold your fire!”

The commanding officer of the station ordered when he heard the voice coming over from the other side.

“Identify yourself!”

But they weren’t just going to believe the enemy’s words just because they said they were human.

They already knew that the Red Demon race could speak their language fluently, so just the fact that they responded in their language meant nothing to them.

They needed some concrete proof that who they were talking to was human.

“Sure.”

The voice on the other side of the radio complied, and soon one of the airlock doors opened on the enemy ship, and Alex appeared out of them shortly after, tightly wrapped in a thin layer of Phoenix flames to protect him from the vacuum.

Alex held onto the handle, keeping himself attached to his ship with one hand, and waved at the space station with his other.

He repeated this waving action for another 10 seconds or so, until he returned back into the ship.

“Do you guys believe me now?”

But Alex didn’t receive an answer right away.

Unaware to him, the soldiers on the space station were utterly shocked and confused.

“Is that Alex? That Capital Prime student from Ceres-9?”

“How did he end up in the middle of nowhere like this, piloting an alien ship no less!?”

“Something doesn’t seem right about this…”

With how practically nothing went on in this remote region of space, the soldiers kept up with the galactic net very closely, so they naturally knew of Alex’s feats on Ceres-9.

And they had heard about how he had disappeared right after he launched his final attack.

Which only made his appearance there even more confusing.

“Your identity has been confirmed. Can you dock the ship here?”

The commanding officer took charge of the communications after seeing how his men were lacking in this ever since they found out Alex’s identity.

“Uhh… I think you’ll need to send someone well versed in ships to do that… I’m not exactly an expert in piloting ships, especially alien ones…”

Alex responded, a sense of relief spreading through him.

He had finally made it back to the federation!

But he had a lot of explaining to do…

And a lot of explanations to receive.

“I have an urgent report, sir!”

Major General Lyndal burst into the tense room with an excited look on her face.

The atmosphere in this place over the last few weeks only became more and more bleak as time passed.

But the 9 powerful people looked at Major General Lyndal with interest, as it seemed she was finally going to be bringing them some good news.

“A report just came in from the remote region bordering the no man’s land! An alien ship made contact with our soldiers!” Major General Lyndal exclaimed.

Principal Farnes and the others looked at each other with contemplative and uneasy looks as they took in the news.

Contrary to the way Major General Lyndal was acting, this would be terrible news.

So why was she so excited?

There was clearly more to it.

Principal Farnes and the others ushered Major General Lyndal to continue.

“But there was no contact with another foreign race. Instead, that kid from your school, Principal Farnes, popped out of the ship!”

Principal Farnes wasn’t one to be surprised or shocked with how much of life he had experienced.

But at this moment, he couldn’t help but furrow his brows and tilt his head at Major General, letting out an instinctive ‘What?’ as he couldn’t quite understand what he was hearing.

In fact, most of the S tier powerhouses in the room had a similar reaction to him.

As the de facto leaders of humanity, they knew of Alex’s situation quite well, and they had all heard Principal Farnes’ assessment saying that he was most likely teleported away by the beast in some final, desperate attack.

But to be teleported outside of the Milky Way, into another race’s territory?

That just seemed too far fetched, more like a fantasy story rather than something that would actually occur.

“Explain further, Lyndal.”

Principal Farnes asked the Major General to actually explain the whole story to him, rather than feeding it to them in parts just to add further suspense to it.

…

After a few minutes, Major General Lyndal had finished explaining exactly what Alex had explained to the soldiers on the space station just a few hours earlier.

“So essentially, what he’s saying is that he woke up, floating in space, with no recollection of how he got there?”

“Then he just so happened to be rescued before his brain fried from the lack of oxygen, only to find out that it was a crew of pirates from a race called the ‘Kree’ that had picked him up to loot him, thinking he was dead?”

“And then he said he took out their entire 20 man crew, alone, before piloting the freighter back to human territory?”

“Oh, and how could I forget. He also found out that he was located in the no man’s space between us and the Red Demon race, which means we have aliens snooping in our own waters and we didn’t even know it?”

“Did I get it all?”

Admiral Olgierd asked, still trying to wrap his head over the report.

“That’s right sir. We already have our top experts examining the make up of the Kree’s ship, and I’m sure we’ll be able to decode their data with enough time. We’ll know whether he was telling the truth or not when the footage from the onboard cameras is examined.”

“But that doesn’t matter right now. Alex essentially handed us a gold mine with his return!”

Major General Lyndal was right, and the others in the room knew that as well.

“What should we do about this then?”

“The kid deserves some sort of reward for this!”

“He’s your student, Farnes. You should decide.”

A discussion started between the powerhouses, but there was one thing they all unanimously agreed with.

Alex deserved some kind of reward for this!

Not to mention the fact that they would all like to meet him.

His story on Ceres-9 was already becoming something of a legend, and with the addition of this…

They could already see that he would become a major figure in the federation in the near future!
