Vol 1 Chapter 7 (1/2)
There was a research centre that studied teleportation abilities on Epiece-2’s e boy simply labelled ‘A’
The boy was an orphan, and he teleported over 100 times a day for the researchers, in order to earn money And when A teleported and returned to the centre, he was no longer the same boy
Boy A destroyed Epiece-2α with frightening force, and by the time the navy arrived to take control of the situation, they found Epiece-2α infested with space fungi Every kind of life fori colony Only boy A re an eye
When the gunmen arrived and blew off A’s head, thousands of tentacles escaped froreatly exceeded the boy’s body mass, and covered the moon in moments
As a result, the naval officers concluded that Epiece-2α must be completely destroyed
And henceforth, the moons of Epiece-2 have been named from Epiece-2β

Creatures unknown to men existed in hyperspace
And the Teleportation ability, which was perfor into that hyperspace, may spell the end of humanity
Lezirth Dawnbringer, the Commander of Dawn Corps— a warrior who knows no fear
That hat I was called, but there were two things that I was afraid of: dentists, and teleporting
However, I had to resort to the latter when there was a need to
“Urpp…”
I felt sick as soon as I returned back to the usual di myself that I was back in reality, I quickly checked the time on the computer
A difference of 01 seconds, what a relief If the difference were any greater, then it would have er period of time
And the longer I stay in hyperspace, the greater the probability of the hyperspace pollutingcoave me the creeps
Luckily, 01 seconds was not a bad time
I didn’t die or turn into so teleportation
I want to find reedy of me, even any Alter-Armour would do
The possibility of reatly reduced if I travel in an Alter-Armour That was because Alter-Arinated from Letix Since Letix are inhabitants of hyperspace, they possessed strong resistance against the pollution
Ah, now that I think about it, n Meihowa’s Alter-Armour just for the teleport Wait no, she would have to die for istered as the backup pilot
No, I shouldn’t have to worry about the register system since Admiral Luise already hacked into the Federation syste to the entire world that she just hacked the Federation computer system
My hatred for teleporting grew even stronger as those thoughts raged inside my head damn it
Suddenly, I spotted a hoard of un approximately 1 km ahead of me
◊◊◊
Although Chief Technician Yeon-Sik Oh was part of the Technician staff, he had some experience arfare
Theya makeshi+ft mortar, and shot smart bombs up into the sky
As the smart bombs detonated in mid-air, its shrapnel took down unen density property of this planet, the shrapnel burst into flames and doubled the attack power
Compared to the time when the platoon was nearly annihilated by two USVs while being led by Lieutenant Inificantly better, and against greater numbers at that
However, he would get himself killed at this rate
“Hey you! Stop fighting and take cover underwater, or just surrender!”
I suggested them to surrender as I approached the around because they were too busy firing their Colion Rifles desperately
“What! Who are you?! Do you want to get your ass taken to the courts?!”
“Greenie?! What’s going on? Weren’t you with the Charlie squad?!”
Sonized me and started to freak out
At thatthe uner equip theiant Colion Rifle aimed at the Bravo squad
—Boom!
A giant explosion occurred frole shot
The plas in its path A great shockwave rushed towards the Bravo squad and it was strong enough to flip a military vehicle over
However, I met the shockwave head on and redirected it with my hands
—Kwaaaaa
The shockwave split in half and rushed to either side of le The Bravo squad members were protected from the shockwave thanks to me
“shi+t… W-What just happened?”
“God damn! Was that just you, Lezirth?”
Bravo Squad members all asked me in surprise I turned around and yelled at them
“Everyone hide!”
The attack fronised us as a threat that should be taken out They didn’t shoot the Colion Rifle just as a warning shot, or randole
If we showed no response, they will think that we died from the attack just now, for sure The only way for the Bravo squad to survive is to fool the Alter-Arroup and to let them pass over us
Most of the Bravo squad understood my intentions and hid underwater, in the swamp and under the tree roots Chief Technician Oh also obeyed me and jumped into the water At that instant
—Boom!
The head of the Alter-Armour that attacked us just now exploded The are wasn’t sufficient enough to stop it fro
I turned around in surprise and saw Lieutenant I
“Take that, you fools This is…”
“You dumbass!”
I yelled at him in shock
Things started to unfold as I expected! The Alter-Aruns this way It wasn’t the lead Alter-Ar at us, but all of them
With firepower ine the Bravo squad being wiped out instantly
“We can’t have that!”
The eneuns fired away at the same time, and I used my telekinesis to project a barrier
I have to resist the attacks from the enemy Alter-Armours and protect the Bravo squad! But at the sa that their attacks were effective Otherwise, I would have to fight the Kishi+n Diablo myself, but that was a stretch, even for me
—Bzzz!
Plasray barrier blocked all heat and light fro us, I turned around
All of the Bravo squad s However, they were safe thanks to my barrier
However
—Crackle!
Some of the plasma storm touched the water With that, water quickly boiled and electrocuted every soldier in the water
damnit!
“Gasp… gasp… you… you blocked the Alter-Armours’ attacks? You must be a SSS-class psychic!”
Without even bothering to catch his breath, Lieutenant I his Colion Rifle in his chest
“This is an order, soldier Fight! Destroy those Alter-Armour and retreat! This is an order! You’ll end up in the courts if you dare to refuse!”
Lieutenant I at the mouth Only a few hours had passed since the last tinition
The jungle on Azoran-3 was quite humid and one needed to hydrate hiive any water to Lieutenant I a mental breakdown
“Heh heh heh! Die, all of you!”
Although I still had my barrier up, Lieutenant Imamura tried to shoot up at the Alter-Armours
da killed?
I quickly spun the Bayonet and slashed through the Colion Rifle in his hand to prevent hi
“Kuu! How dare you! What do you think you’re doing to your superior! Ah, I see! Why you! Youwhen you helped that Elcro woman!”
Lieutenant Ie atthrough the grey barrier
And… he disintegrated in a blink of an eye
That was to be expected because he received all of the Alter-Armours’ attacks head-on; it would be impossible to even recover his corpse
“Lieutenant! damn it!”
Although he wasn’t a great person, losing someone before your eyes was still painful And he was in this state because he suffered torture from the Bravo squad
Should I even let these guys live? I looked at the Bravo squad for a ht on hold I’ll save them for now
Soon, the Alter-Armours’ attacks ceased
“Hmm… you reckon they’ll be alive after all that?”
“Let’s deploy the surveillance vehicles”
Those Alter-Ar via the terminal but via normal methods
I quickly spread the cape on my left shoulder
This Psychic Reacting Optical Caht, heat or sonar sensors, by supplying a slight amount of psychic power
A powerful psychic user likea cape like this, but using one can increase the area being obscured from the sensors
The USVs activated their heat and sonar sensors while flying through the jungle However, there was a plasma storm that still remained after the attack, so heat and sonar sensors were of no use; we just had to avoid being caught visually
Thankfully, the surveillance vehicles scanned the jungle floor and recorded the broken vehicles, equipht up by the storm
“They’re all dead”
“Don’t you think we have to look into it in more detail?”
“Nah, it’s fine Judging fro anyway There’s no way they could possibly resist boh to melt down fortresses, you know?”
“Then let’s go back and report”
The Alter-Armours lost interest and returned
◊◊◊
Despite my attempts, only five people survived from the Bravo squad and the rest died The ones who hid underwater were electrocuted by the plashout the plasma storm also died
The helmets supplied by the Federation were an open-space type, so it was easy to disregard it as useless, but it was equipped with an air filtration system It would be foolish of people to take it off just because it’s uncomfortable
The five survivors were too injured to stay conscious and passed out
I forced them into combat suits and switched on the Life Support System (LSS), since they were too injured to be stable with the normal LSS in the military uniform
Luckily, the figures on the co to be okay and will recover
However, that was assu that these soldiers receive some medical attention, nutrients and water They will certainly die if I just leave them here
“Accoerous… and there are five of them at that What should I do?”
AT was le Teleportation Teleporting with objects was slightly better, but there was the possibility of luring out hyperspacewith another human
But I can’t leave theht equipment to take them by normal methods… Must I teleport?
Luckily for me, these soldiers were unconscious They werearound
I took the
“Ugh… daonna die like this”
Even I found AT to be extremely difficult Theoretically, I could teleport solo over 10,000 km if I’m not attacked by any hyperspace monsters on the jump
However, with solar flare, electronic waves, huure was brought down to 4000 km
But fro further lowered that distance to about 500 km Human life force itself was interference in teleportation, yet I still ed to pull that off…
Luckily, we all arrived safe and sound I checked for the tiure considering I just jumped with 5 people
‘I could’ve ended up being lost in hyperspace I hope no pollution took place’
I gathered ht-headedness to pass At that le
Huh? Is it a monster?
I clenched the Bayonet and the Rifle for the worst case scenario However, the faces that ele were very familiar to me
“Lezirth!”
“Ah, Luise… and Ensign Meihowa?”
Admiral Luise was shocked when she saw the injured Bravo Squad
“Did you teleport with five people accoerous!”
“Ah, they appear to be unconscious, so it was okay”
Admiral Luise looked at me unhappily She seemed to be upset at the fact that I recklessly risked my life to save others
Onewhen I actually had done a good deed, but I understood her perfectly, because as a psychic user herself, she knew better than anyone else how dangerous Accompanied Teleportation was
She was genuinely concerned about me, more than anyone else
“Oh my word… what happened?”
Ensign Meihowa and Sergeant Aroha were shocked at the state of Bravo Squad They were in a terrible shape and unconscious, but alive
“To think… you would actually rescue the Bravo squad!”
Ensign Meihowa looked at eant Aroha raised her thumb and winked
“We should be calling you a war hero rather than a Greenie now You ht actually receive a medal I would believe you if you say you are the Vice Admiral Lezirth”
“Please keep our powers a secret froher-ups”
Admiral Luise’s expression became stern as she warned them
I agreed with her about hiding our identity The current Federation was not the sa our identities ain
“Why? But your powers are…”
“Because we are not registered psychic users We would like to remain that way Lezirth, did they witness your powers?”
“I believe they did Although it was only for a moment before they passed out”
“Hmm, then I will modify their memories of the event”
After saying that, Adeant Aroha flexed and hunched her shoulders in surprise
“Woah, so scary Okay, I won’t say a thing You don’t plan onmy memories as well, do you?”
