What Do You Mean I'm The Captain Of A Yandere Mercenary Company?

Chapter 819: Lifting The Lid

”So tell me! Tell me!! Oh my gosh! I’ve never imagined that I would ever meet a real first generation Psionic! What is it like? How are you different?!” Rosalia asked, each question pressing herself closer to me.

I placed my hand on her shoulders and gently pushed her back so that her... Thing... Wasn’t pressing against me anymore.

”Ahem... First of all... Please calm down... I’m not that special, ok?”

”No way!! How long has it been since the last naturally awakened Psionic?! Years? Decades? Centuries?!”

I’m pretty sure it wasn’t that long ago but I decided to just humour her.

”I mean, I get it, ok? What I mean is that I’m just me, I’m not that special.”

”I wholeheartedly disagree,” Amber chuckled from behind me. ”You’re the most special in the universe for us~”

Shut up Amber... I love all of you too...

Still, not helping, ok?

Rosalia continued to try and push her way towards me while I held her at an arm’s length, ”So what kind of Psionic are you, Tera?!”

I raised an eyebrow at her, ”What do you mean what kind? Is there like... Different kinds of Psionics?”

”Of course! Oh wait, I guess it’s not weird that you don’t know since you’re from the Outer Colonies. There’s the mental Psionics and there’s the reality Psionics. So which one are you?”

What? There’s even such a classification?

I turned to look at Amber and Mara, expecting them to explain to me.

Amber looked just as confused as I was but Mara came to the rescue like always.

”It’s kind of an unofficial classification of Psionics, Captain... It’s used more colloquially than an actual official classification. Like I told you, different Psionics have different things they are good at. There’s Psionics who are better at manipulating thoughts but not things like telekinesis and there’s Psionics who are the opposite.”

Right, like how Mara is better at telepathy than both me and Amber while Amber can make fire and I... Err... Hmm...

Actually... What even am I?

I mean... I can use telepathy too... Even though I’m not really that good at it, I think that’s more because I haven’t really been using it... And I doubt I would ever reach Mara’s level either...

And for telekinesis... I don’t really think I’m especially good at it either? I’m pretty sure Amber is a better telekinetic than I am.

So... Which category of Psionic would I even fall under?

I turned back and shrugged at her, ”I don’t really know which category I would fall under actually... I guess I’m kind of a jack of all trades?”

She nodded, ”Hmm hmm~ Interesting, interesting~ In that case, maybe you can show us something that you can do?”

I frowned, ”Is this even necessary?”

”Of course it is! We’re going to be designing an Exo-Knight that is personally suited for you! Since you’re a Psionic, we’ll have to use the pilot controls that uses brainwaves instead of the normal controls! Oh wait!! Wait right here!!”

She suddenly dashed out of the room, leaving us behind with Friederike who has been busy tapping away on her personal terminal this entire time.

It looks like she was recording whatever I’ve been saying down on a notepad or something.

I was wondering if we would have to wait long but it only took her a moment before she was back, the bunny futa carrying some rectangular device that was mounted on a tripod with her.

She quickly set it up with one part of the rectangular device facing towards me before she stepped behind it and gestured to me.

”Alright! I’m ready! Go on!”

I frowned at the device, ”Is this thing like a camera or something?”

”Ah! No need to worry, miss Tera! This is just meant to record your Psionic readings! That way we can tune the Exo-Knight better to you! It’s totally normal!”

I turned back to look at my girls again and found them nodding at me.

Since my girls approve of it...

I shrugged and brought out my halberd again, reassembling it back into its weapon form from its cube form.

I wasn’t really sure what kind of data they need so I just did some basic stuff like using my mind to levitate the halberd and let it spin around me before breaking it into different parts and juggling it as well.

By how they were staring at both me and their personal terminals, I assumed I was doing something right so I just continued without minding too much.

I let the parts of the halberd assemble together again before I transformed it back into a cube, though I let it float around me asI slowly lifted myself off the ground.

I wasn’t really sure what else to do so I just stayed there for a while more before landing and gave Rosalia and Freiderike a questioning glance.

Both of them just stared at their scenes for a good minute before they seemed to finally realise that I was standing still.

Rosalia gave me a pointed look, ”Umm... Are you... Doing something, miss Tera?”

I tilted my head, ”What do you mean?”

”I mean... Our readings... Are kind of indicating that there’s no Psionic energy coming out from you... Even though you are clearly using Psionic abilities earlier... In fact... It’s picking up Psionic energy coming from... Err... The two people behind you instead?”

Ah.... Whoops...

So I can explain... I’m still suppressing my Psionic energy so that it wasn’t leaking out like what Amber and Mara had told me... And I’m pretty sure Renata is feeding on the minute amounts that I was releasing which means the machine probably couldn’t pick up anything because of that...

I guess they probably thought there was something wrong with the machine so they probably bumped up the sensitivity or something to try and detect the Psionic energy that should have been wrapped around me.

And in doing so... They started picking up the Psionic energy that was on Amber and Mara instead.

I cleared my throat, ”Ah... Sorry about that, that was my fault. Let me fix that...”

I took a moment to concentrate and released my mental limiter that I placed on myself to dampen my Psionic energy, letting it flow freely as it wanted.

The moment I did that, it felt like a great weight had slid off my shoulders, almost like I had been carrying a weight on my shoulders this entire time and I had just dropped it on the ground.

I could quite literally feel the energy rush out of me and wrap themselves around my body like a warm blanket and I’m pretty sure the moan I heard coming from Renata was not my imagination.

Heck, just from releasing the energy, I felt myself levitate off the ground for a good few seconds before dropping down again.

And... That’s when shit hit the fan.

The machine that they had been using to monitor me had an electrical spark appear at the corner before it just burst into flames before exploding into scrap, the device flung off to a corner off the room with the remnants still attached to the tripod.

The screens in the room then started to flicker before they all changed to red error screens simultaneously right before electrical sparks started arcing out from all over the room, one of them even striking the ground near us.

The lights in the room also started to flicker on and off, shutting down for a full second before powering up, only to flicker off again.

At the same time, I felt my clothes undulate around me and it actually reverted back into being a liquid, flowing down from my body to expose the upper part of my chest before it suddenly flowed back up to cover me again.

That happened in just a split second and I was fortunate enough that everyone else was distracted by the electrical sparks coming from all around us that no one noticed that accidental exposure.

Did Renata just orgasm or something?

Obviously I figured this was a bad idea so I quickly put a lid on my Psionic energy again, sealing it in my body once again.

Things went back to normal as the lights powered back on again though sparks still appeared from time to time around us.

Err... Why the heck did that happen?

Rosalia and Friederike were looking around the room in shock while for some reason, my girls were just nodding along like they were saying it was as expected of me or something.

Well first things first... I suppose I would need to apologise to them for--

”That’s awesome, miss Tera!! Can you do that again?! Please do that again!!” Rosalia cried out.

Friederike sighed, ”We should move this to the Testing Dome instead... But yes we would like you to do that again, miss Tera. Are you able to?”

Eh? It looks like they’re more excited than scared now...

I really don’t understand the science types I guess...
