So, this it, Micron?
“Yes, Admiral, we have harnessed the energy and can now use it. but you need to see their attacks and moves with your own eyes to be able to use it for combat.”
What about the shields I am holding?
“Admiral, I registered what, Ms. Leona, did with the fire wall, and rearranged it’s original input, changing it into shields, I also took into account that she was able to form weapons using the said elements.”
I see.
I looked at Leona who was on the ground, it was obvious she must’ve lost her strength from casting that powerful elemental attack.
I looked back at my hands and it automatically dispersed from my arm, I was able to finally harness the energy and use it, but I only have a limited amount of moves and elements.
Can I make a weapon?
First thing that came into my mind, was a gun, it maybe complex but I had been using it for a long time and now every part of it, as I thought of a gun, suddenly at the palm of my right hand a gun formed made from fire.
Amazing, but can it shoot?
I aimed it at a nearby tree and pressed the trigger of the fiery weapon. And just like what I expected it shot a small ball made from fire, it was lethal enough to kill. Seeing the results my testing phase was completed.
“This is good for now.”
As I said that, I wanted my flaming gun to disappear, to which it followed and dispersed into nothing but thin air.
I looked at Leona who was on the ground, unlike during our fight, she was nothing more than a fragile and powerless girl waiting to be killed. I walked closer to her, as she noticed me walking towards her, she slowly pushed herself away from me.
I wanted to interrogate her for more information about this power since I was just new in wielding it, since she used two doesn’t that mean that old man from before might also have more elements than her.
I needed to extract information from her, whether she liked it or not, such powers need to be controlled and learned.
“wh-what do you want!?”
She shouted at me as she pushed herself away from me, but since it looked like she was unable to stand it would be easier for me, also, with her current speed she will be unable to get far from here.
“Gale blow!”
She shouted using a last-ditch effort to give her time to escape, but I already knew how it worked and how to dispel it, I extended my arm to the wind and it immediately dispersed upon hitting my arm. in my thought, I thought I was powerful or just that she was very weak in her current state.
And as she saw what I did , she immediately ran away, but because she seemed like she lost all her strength, soon stumbled to a nearby tree, blocking her escape.
She soon looked behind and at me, seeing me getting closer she tried pushing herself back but it only hit the tree, she was unable to escape.
And using another last-ditch effort she extended her right arm at me and tried casting another, but I was already close to her, it was too late for her.
I grabbed her hand tightly and aimed it upwards the sky and pushed it at the tree’s body, I got closer to her face to which she looked to the side and refused to do eye contact with me.
As I got closer to her I noticed she had a clear skin, long light brown colored hair, and a thin frame. I also felt at my hands that her hands were thin and almost fragile when held tightly, as this came into my thoughts.
Wait… how old is she again?
“I have no idea, but don’t let looks deceive you, Admiral, for all we know she is older than you!”
Yes, you may be right.
I soon looked directly at her face with a death glare, and interrogated her.
“What is this power? How were you able to use it?”
“I won’t say anything! Over my dead body!”
She shouted, whilst refusing to make eye contact with me, she was very loyal to somebody and she didn’t want to spill such an information to a stranger, so I get it.
Micron, what can I do to make her talk.
“Admiral, Lic- I mean, threaten her first.”
Wait, what did you just say?
“Admiral, I said light interrogation first.”
I, I see.
As I finished my conversation with my nanomachine, I turned back to Leona, who avoided any eye contact with me, just like what my nanomachine said, I threatened her first.
“If you don’t tell me the information, your sister will be good as dead.”
She didn’t respond to my threat, does she think I won’t do anything, I talked again with my nanomachine for another method.
“Admiral, rap- replay it, second time’s a charm, Admiral.”
Okay, then.
I didn’t like to do this type of method, but serving as the director of the FIGSP (Federation’s InterGalactic Secret Police) for a year, was useful enough in its own way, though I was mostly placed on that position because I was unfazed with the politician’s threats and was likely to do a clean purge other than the predecessors.
1basically he was assigned as the Director of the FIGSP, because he wasn't scared with other politicians and their factions that threatened him, he also had a tight grip and influence in the military and was very close to the president and prime minister of the federation, he also was placed there, because he had more experience in dealing with those types of politicians, and wasn't involved or did any corruption.
Using my other hand, I held her face by her cheeks and tightly squeezed them, forcing her to make eye contact with me.
“Look at me, Ms. Leona, I’m a very reasonable and patient man, just give me what I want and I won’t do anything else to you, your sister, or the remainder of your family.”
That tactic, also failed, though it was a good enough attempt, her loyalty and the way she wants to keep it a secret is suspicious, meaning there’s more than what it looks like, maybe a secret weapon.
Micron?
“Admiral, we have no choice… RAPE THE MIN- I mean yeah, molest her, lick her maybe? A noble girl such as her will need to preserve her dignity so if you threaten her with that, she will most likely tell you to stop and tell the information.”
Do you want me to rape a girl?
I questioned my nanomachine which gave me an unexpected plan.
“Admiral, not to be rude, but you want the information, right?”
I need it, but not that kind of method.
“Admiral, she won’t budge, all our interrogation equipment is inside the dreadnoughts and we can’t request them to launch it down here, the planet would be in chaos.”
What my nanomachine said was right, our interrogation equipment was inside the dreadnoughts and launching them to the planet’s surface would make the entire populace question. So, it seemed I had no choice but to do it.
“Admiral, now or never, if she doesn’t want to tell you the information, that means there is more than meets the eye.”
Aren’t you forcing me to just literally rape her?
“No, why would I do that, Admiral?”
Both of us were in an argument on what to do, I need to get the information, but I can’t break my morals. I had no choice but to stop the interrogation.
Afterall, she was the one that attacked me first and she didn’t seem to stop her attack, I could always ask Elena, as I only targeted her since she was identified as more ‘powerful’ than Elena, so I thought I could’ve have gotten more reliable information on her, it seemed I failed.
I released my tight grip on her cheek and took my plasma pistol from under my shirt, it showed signs of damage probably from the attack she did earlier.
I released her and aimed my gun at her, pulling the trigger and immediately shocking and knocking her out.
“Admiral, what if she tells her sister?”
My nanomachine pointed out, to which I casually replied.
“Do you think she will believe her? I mean, I could tell from their dispute earlier I was the one who they were talking about, Elena would obviously think she is lying, since she hates and doesn’t trust me.”
“I see, Admiral.”
As I finished my response, I took Leona’s knocked out body and carried her. I soon started my walk back to the town and make a decent enough convincible lie to Elena.
A high ranking military official don't know how to threaten...
i do believe that this its a good chapter, but i dont like the way you develop this relations. also that the ai from the nanons are so much vile also its no a good point. at most it should be neutral and give several options
nice.
Youre telling me he cant threaten to break a finger or peel off a nail
