Wednesday: The Strongest Psychic

Chapter 25: Xavier's advice



Several days have passed since the Halloween party. The month of November began. The temperature had dropped, and the cold was starting to set in.

His relationship with Enid had improved a lot since their first kiss. Enid now spent most of her time with Luke when they had classes or breakfast in the cafeteria.

Luke didn't mind Enid's presence. Although it was something new for him who had always been a loner. Enid was very talkative and enthusiastic, but Luke didn't mind and even liked having her presence by his side.

He continued to keep up his psychic and physical training routine. Some of the psychic training he did with Enid's help, such as immobilization. They also trained physically in

practice fights.

Luke could not beat Enid no matter how much better his technique was. His physical strength, stamina, and reflexes were inferior to Enid's. Although if he used his current immobilization he could easily win against her.

"Make it official,"

"What?" asked Luke, looking up from his book and looking at Xavier sitting on the bed with his arms crossed looking at him. They were in his dorm room. Luke was copying back homework that luckily Enid lent him to copy.

"Make it official," repeated Xavier with a serious look.

"Make what official?" asked Luke.

"Your relationship with Enid," replied Xavier.

"I don't know what you mean," said Luke, going back to copying the assignment.

"Oh, come on. Don't play dumb. Everyone noticed. You two are glued together all day," said Xavier with a slight smile.

"Just like any friend," Luke said. He didn't want people to be talking about his private life.

"Don't try to fool me. I know you two kissed," Xavier said, and Luke looked at him again this time with a frown on his face.

"Don't get mad," Xavier said quickly, holding up his hands. He didn't want to be attacked by Luke's telekinetic abilities, though he wouldn't get that far.

"Enid told Yoko about it. Yoko told Divina, and Divina told Bianca who told me," he explained.

'Not that it was a secret either,' Luke thought, shaking his head. It was normal for Enid to tell her close friend about the kiss.

"Tsch, first get a girlfriend before you talk to me about making my relationship official," Luke said disdainfully, clicking his tongue.

"I already have a girlfriend. You should be more aware of what's going on at school," said Xavier.

"Really?" asked Luke doubtfully.

"Yes. I kissed Bianca on Halloween night. That same day, I asked her to be my girlfriend," replied Xavier.

'Maybe Enid told me, but I didn't pay attention...' thought Luke, looking at the floor. Since Enid was very talkative there might be things he omits and doesn't hear.

"Anyway. Listen to me. You have made your relationship with Enid official. A man-to-man advice," Xavier said again in a serious tone.

'Why is he so heavy-handed with making my relationship official' thought Luke, looking strangely at Xavier.

"Why?" asked Luke.

"You make out with a girl and spend a lot of time with her, but you don't make your relationship with her official. That will only lead to trouble. The girl will most likely get mad. She'll think you don't love her, that you want to hide the relationship, or that you're a womanizer or something," explained Xavier.

'Mm... Should I believe this guy?' thought Luke doubtfully.

"This guy is right. Listen to him if you don't want to get in trouble with that blonde," said Edgar, floating close to Luke.

Luke didn't know whether to take the advice. His relationship with Enid was going very well. It would be strange for her to get mad and bring up the subject of whether they were officially boyfriend and girlfriend or not.

"You're lucky Enid has patience. If I had taken that many days, Bianca would have started a big argument," Xavier said.

"Well, I'll think about it... Thanks," said Luke, nodding.

He didn't want to hide his relationship with Enid. It would be bad if Enid thought that was the case. So he would have to talk to her about this issue.

"What's up?" asked Luke, looking at Xavier's dumbfounded face.

"I didn't know you could say thank you. Looks like you're not as horrible as you appear," said Xavier, impressed.

'This guy...' thought Luke, regretting saying thank you.

...

Luke decided to take Xavier's advice. When he was in the gym practicing with Enid, he talked to her about some way to make their relationship official.

Enid happily agreed. Xavier was right, the girl was already worrying about this issue, and taking longer would not have been good.

Luke never thought this moment would come. The day he gets a girlfriend. He always saw it as a long way off. Was he in love with Enid? He didn't know how to answer that question. From what he understood if you were in love you should want to be with that person all the time, feel butterflies in your stomach, and be on cloud nine. He didn't feel that way. That's not to say he doesn't care about Enid. He feels that she is the first person in this world that he can open up to, even a little bit. Also, he has fun being with her and finds her attractive.

But not to the extreme of wanting to be 24/7 with her. That would be too exhausting. She's very enthusiastic and doesn't stop talking. There are even times when he stops listening to her and nods vaguely in response.

'Well not all couples have to be in love, right?' thought Luke, who was walking alongside Enid holding hands down a deserted Nevermore hallway.

Not being in love with Enid, doesn't mean that Luke doesn't care about the girl and has no feelings for her. He cares about her far more than he cares about everyone he's ever met in this

life.

It's a sad thing to think since he's known her for a few months. The top people Luke cares about the most are as follows:

1- Enid.

2- Natasha.

3- Edgar.

'All people I've known for less than a year,' thought Luke, feeling miserable in terms of social relationships. Edgar is in third place because he is a ghost, so he can't die. So his safety is something Luke doesn't care about.

As for Natasha he knows she took care of him, and he is very grateful for that, but he met her for a couple of months on vacation. To him, she was just the matron at his orphanage who never gave him preferential treatment during those years, so their relationship just started,

and it's not very deep.

"What are you thinking about?" asked Enid with her usual smile.

"On the training I haven't done yet today," Luke replied.

"Are you going to continue training? We just finished training at the gym. I thought we could

do something more fun," Enid said with a pout.

Luke had to admit that his girlfriend was very cute. He had a hard time telling her that since he

is someone who shows little affection. Holding hands was a big step for such an emotionally distant person.

"Fun? What's on your mind?" asked Luke. Enid was the only person capable of getting him to

skip part of his daily workout.

"Going to your room," Enid replied with a smile.

"Oh, my room. Well, let's go," replied Luke with a slight smile.

Moments later in Luke's room, several shouts could be heard.

"Move faster, Luke!" shouted Enid.

"I'm doing the best I can!" replied Luke with sweat on his forehead.

"Put more heart into it! There's not much time left!" said Enid in an anxious tone.

"Just in time!" exclaimed Luke, sighing in relief. In front of him was a large screen displaying four shining stars and a score.

"We did it! Four stars!" said Enid in a happy tone as she let go of the controller and hugged

Luke tightly.

Luke would happily accept his girlfriend's hug, but he feels like his bones are being crushed.

"Yes, yes. Now let me breathe," Luke said with difficulty patting Enid's shoulder, who quickly

let go.

"Sorry, I got excited," apologized Enid, looking back at the screen. They were playing a

console game.

Since Luke had money to spare he decided to buy a state-of-the-art console with several joysticks and a large TV. In Nevermore it was not illegal to have these items of entertainment.

It was similar to a MacBook or cell phone.

"Why are you two yelling so much?" asked Xavier, entering the room.

"We finally defeated the potato-eating demon!" replied Enid, happily clenching her fist.

"What did you defeat it!? I told you to wait for me!" said Xavier with mixed surprise and

indignation.

"You took too long, was your make-out session with Bianca enjoyable?" asked Luke with a slight smirk.

"Shut up. Pass me a joystick," Xavier said without denying Luke's comment.

Luke passed him a joystick, and the three of them began to play nonchalantly. It wasn't the first time he had played with Xavier. Just like him, he liked video games.

'Look at him having fun with his friend and his girlfriend,' thought Edgar wiping away an imaginary tear. It was like watching his son grow up, albeit a bit exaggerated.

'It's no good skipping training though. Tonight I'll make him train twice as hard' he thought

with a faint macabre smile.

[Luke. This Saturday you'll have another interview at four o'clock in the afternoon. I'll pick

you up in a cab]

Luke in his mind heard Natasha's voice. This was thanks to the telepathic link he shared with

his housekeeper.

Luke at this time already managed to reach the 15km distance and more. So, could communicate with Natasha despite the distance. Not only that, the daily life of the link

increased to over a month.

[Okay. Do I already have the permission?] asked Luke without taking his attention off the

game.

[Yes, the principal is already aware of it. Don't worry. So far no sighting of the Spellman bastards] said Natasha.

[Maybe in my Nevermore days they'll leave me alone. Like with my father] said Luke, not toon/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

alarmed by his archenemies.

[You must not be overconfident. Always keep your guard up. Once I finish the interview you will return to Nevermore immediately] said Natasha in a serious manner. [Yes, yes. Whatever you say] said Luke without giving it much importance. He didn't understand why Natasha was so paranoid. He'd done the occasional interview before, and

nothing ever happened.

"Pass me the lettuce, Luke!" said Xavier in a hurry.

"I'm coming," Luke said, ending his short conversation with Natasha.
