Primordial Expanse: I have the Strongest Talent!

\'Huh? Where\'s everyone gone?\'

When Alex looked around the lecture hall, he noticed that it was just him and Dr Zoric in there now.

"Have I really been in thought for that long?" He asked, letting his thoughts slip.

However Dr Zoric thought he was talking to him, and answered.

"You\'ve had the same despondent look on your face for the last 20 minutes of the lecture. It just ended."

Dr Zoric left the lecture hall after saying this, as he was only checking in on Alex to see if he was okay.

And since he was just deep in thought, it was no longer his concern.

\'It\'s about time I get the plan started then!\'

Now that he had gotten what he was looking for — much more than he was looking for actually, it was time to get everything started.

***

Only a few minutes later, Alex arrived at his destination.

Classes were over for the day, so he had headed home.

But he had something to do before he headed into his own home.

Stepping to the front of the house, Alex knocked on Mira\'s front door.

Soon, Mira popped her head out. When she saw Alex. he eyes lit up.

"Alex!"

Alex smiled and let himself in.

When he walked through the hallway, he noticed that Mira was preparing some supper.

He had come at the right time! Food time!

He happily sat at the table, while Mira went back to check on the food.

Mira rolled her eyes at Alex\'s shamelessness, "You must be hungry, should I make some food for you?"

Alex looked up at her, saliva basically dripping from his lips.

Due to their schedules, they hardly had the time to eat homemade food like this.

Most of the time it was just energy jellies or some cafeteria food.

After a few minutes, food was served.

It seemed Mira had anticipated Alex\'s visit, as she had already prepared enough portions of food for two people.

She had cooked some homemade fried chicken, with some exotic vegetables on the side.

Only she had substituted the chicken for an ordinary class D tier awakened bird, which was much more rich in nutrients and flavour.

"You\'ve become somewhat famous around the university lately. People are saying that if you faced Nikolas in battle again, you\'d win easily now." Mira started chatting with Alex as they started eating their food.

Normally people said not to speak with your mouth full, or else you\'d choke, but was that really a problem for awakened like them?

Hearing Mira\'s remark, Alex couldn\'t help but laugh.

"Before yesterday, I\'d say it was a 50/50 chance of beating him. But after my strength drastically increased, I\'d beat him 100% even with his speed." Alex commented with a chuckle.

To be honest, his animosity towards Nikolas had already passed, as he realised how immature he was acting back then.

Sure, Nikolas was a prick who deserved to get beat, Alex still believed that for a fact.

But he didn\'t need to be so hung up about losing to him.

Besides, he achieved first on the freshman rankings even after losing to him, so it wasn\'t even needed.

And it turned out that achieving first place on the rankings was more like an ego boost for Alex than anything actually useful.

The rewards given out by it turned out to be useless to him, as he wouldn\'t even bother absorbing any beast cores the university gives to him.

That would only hinder his progress in the long run rather than boost it.

Why would he settle for less strength when he could obtain much, much more through his own efforts?

That was Alex\'s philosophy regarding this.

"I thought so, especially after sparring against you earlier this morning… You really are a monster, you know that?" Mira agreed with Alex, as she had experienced Alex\'s strength first hand.

However, as Mira brought up their spar, Alex was reminded of something.

"How come you didn\'t use your Call of the Void talent during the spar? I would have liked to see how well I fared against you when you used that."

Mira almost choked on her food when she heard this question.

She had hoped that Alex wouldn\'t have had to explain things to Alex, and hoped that he would just accept things as they were.

\'Damn your curious mind, Alex!\'

But since Alex asked, she had to answer.

It would only draw more suspicion to her if she didn\'t.

Besides, she didn\'t want to worry him.

"I learned some things about the Void dimension from the Principal, and I am honestly grateful to him for that."

Mira explained all the things she had learned regarding the Void dimension to Alex, like the fact that A tier awakened and higher could perceive her presence in the Void, even if they were outside of it.

As well as the fact that S tier awakened can enter the Void dimension at will, even without a talent like Mira\'s.

However, just as Mira feared, Alex became very concerned for her when she revealed that the Void dimension wasn\'t like an actual void like she thought it was previously.

"Wait, so you\'re saying there are many dangerous beasts native to the Void dimension, and you could encounter one of them at any point while in there?"

Alex was unsettled by this fact, and couldn\'t help but exclaim.

"Thank god the Principal was there with you when he explained the situation regarding the Void dimension!"

He was relieved that the Principal was there to help her in the case that something happened to her.

But, that made him realise something.

"What were you doing in the void dimension that even the Principal had to intervene before things got too out of hand?"

Alex noticed this disparity that Mira had failed to mention beforehand straight away.

Mira looked down, her cheeks red as she was flushed with embarrassment.

"I was spying on you." She said in a meek voice, barely even a whisper.

But her voice was as clear as day to Alex\'s ears.
