Wednesday: The Strongest Psychic

Chapter 54: Increased strength



The month of May had begun. It had been a few days since the end of the tragic Poe Cup, where Sabrina Jones was burned to death in an attack by an unidentified group.

Luke learned that Sabrina was an orphaned psychic. That was her false identity, just as Luke lived in a normie orphanage. Luke didn't know whether to laugh at this. It seemed she copied his background. It was rare to see orphaned psychics, but that didn't mean they didn't exist, and the last name Jones was common in the Normie world.

The days following the attack were very busy. Many parents came to Nevermore to see their children. So did the authorities. Not normie authorities, authorities from the outcast society. Luke met the outcast cops for the first time. They had not appeared in Wednesday's series. He was questioned by them, not by criminals, as a witness to the incident. He was not the only one. All the students who were at Raven Island had to converse with the outcast police.

"So, you used your telekinesis to control the roots and murder the hooded man who was a wolf shoulder?" asked a middle-aged man with a serious face. His beard was somewhat unkempt, and he wore a black uniform with a distinctive badge on the right side.

"Yes. Before he attacks me with his huge claws," Luke said, emphasizing that part.

"Don't worry. You won't have charges against you. It was self-defense, and there were witnesses. Otherwise, you would have ended up like your classmate," said the man.

Luke nodded. The outcast rules were too different for his luck. Even though he killed a person, he wouldn't even get a punishment.

'I don't know why I'm surprised. They let two major families be at war and try to exterminate each other,' Luke thought.

They obviously didn't know that the Spellman family had dealings with demons, so they let him fight the Poe family. Turning a blind eye. They wouldn't let them fight in a public place and innocent people die, but as long as they kept the matter private, the police and the powers that be would pretend nothing was going on.

'He controlled dozens of roots that totaled over a thousand kilograms and finished off a werewolf, a faceless one, a half-breed, and an elemental psychic. A genius,' thought the middle-aged man.

"I will look into the story you told me earlier. If it's true, the Spellmans took their grudge where they shouldn't have," said the policeman with a stern expression.

Luke nodded slightly. In the first interrogation he told him that the person who tried to kill him was Sabrina Spellman and it wasn't the first time she had tried to kill him.

He told him about the incident at the gym, but in that case since it was just the two of them and their grudge it would be okay for Sabrina to act, but it is not the same in this incident where they directly attacked Nevermore as if they were terrorists and endangered the lives of several students from dangerous families.

In telling this story to the policeman Luke received information that left him confused. According to the cop, the Spellmans do not have a daughter named Sabrina who possesses a dual aura and attends the academy of dark arts.

Luke wanted to find Sabrina or whatever her name was, grab her head and slam it repeatedly against the floor. The bitch had lied to him in the interrogation he'd done in the gym.

He should learn how to read old memories as soon as possible to be much more effective at getting information.

He also learned that the werewolf (the one he killed) does not belong to the academy of dark arts. So he is not a schoolmate as he first thought.

According to Edgar they must be hidden servants of the great psychic families. If they had been schoolmates they would have risked a lot, since they could identify them without much problem if they have the corpse of the person.

"Thank you for the information. I will look into it, but next time try to find tangible evidence," said the policeman. He couldn't blame a large psychic family like the Spellmans for such an attack without such evidence, but it wasn't crazy to think that they would want to murder Luke.

As a high-ranking agent in the outcast police force, he knows about the old grudge between the Poes and the Spellmans.

He doesn't think it's the Spellmans, though. With a little information he learns that when John Poe attended Nevermore, the Spellmans did not attack him. Nevermore did not suffer terrorist attacks. So it would be strange if they do now. Although he would not rule out the possibility 100%.

"It's nothing," Luke said without giving it much thought. He did not mind revealing this information. The bad news is that he had no tangible proof, but if the outcast police investigation leads to the Spellmans, it could put them in a difficult situation. He has nothing to lose by trying.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"This is my card. If you have new information and evidence, call me," the policeman told him, handing him a black card with his contact details.

"Fine," Luke said, putting the card away. The policeman opened the door for him, and Luke left the room.

'Why is there no protection for minors?' Luke thought as he walked out the door.

Even though he is a minor, he must face the Spellman family alone and with no recourse to third-party help. The only way to get everyone to turn against the Spellmans is to prove they are making deals with demons or through the power of friendship. What a joke. Who would want to help him take on such a powerful family? The Umbrio turned their backs on Sophie, their mother, and let her die along with John.

Although in this case the Spellmans involved third parties putting the lives of the students at risk, if he have no evidence to catch them, nothing will happen to them.

Despite Luke's story, since he has no tangible proof, he will not receive any help until he presents it. Although the cop is aware of the grudge between the Poe's and the Spellmans.

"Next, Enid Sinclair," said the middle-aged man.

Luke saw Enid sitting on a bench near him. She stood up and started walking toward the room. She waved her hand at Luke and walked into the room.

Luke looked at the bench again. There was one more person. Enid's mother, Esther Sinclair, was looking at him with a frown.

'Oh no... Why me?' thought Luke as their eyes made eye contact. That's why Enid gave him a low hand wave. When she was with her mother, she was much more shy.

He would ignore her, but they made eye contact, and if Esther tells Enid that he ignored her, he'll fight later, and that's the last thing he wants.

"Hey, what's up, mother-in-law?" said Luke, and he wanted to punch himself against the wall as he listened to what she said more carefully. Calling this grumpy, untrusting woman mother-in-law was not a good way to start a conversation.

"I'll never be your mother-in-law," Esther said, standing up and looking at Luke with a blank

face.

"Whatever you say, I was just saying hello. Bye," said Luke, seeing the perfect opportunity to

escape.

"Wait a minute," said Esther, and Luke turned around.

"What?" asked Luke.

"If you really love Enid, you should leave her," replied Esther, taking Luke by surprise, who wasn't planning on having this kind of conversation with his mother-in-law.

"What do you say? I think Enid would have to decide those things for herself," said Luke with

a strange expression.

"I know a little of the history of the Poe family and the old grudge they have with the Spellman family. Your mother was from the Umbrio family, and she died because she was with your father. I don't want the same thing to happen to my daughter," Esther said

tactlessly.

Her instinct told her that this incident had to do with Luke. Besides, they took her daughter hostage. Why did they do it? To threaten Luke. She wasn't the only one who thought so.

'It was to be expected,' Luke thought.

"You should say you'd help your daughter's boyfriend's needy family. Well, the Umbrío's didn't help my mother either. I wasn't expecting anything anyway," Luke said after a few

seconds.

His old concern was rekindled again. Earlier, he had raised the issue of Enid's safety and that they might use her against him as a hostage, and it happened. That day, he decided to be selfish and continue his relationship with Enid. He was hesitant now, but he would not show

Esther. He would not give her that pleasure.

Esther was surprised at Luke's calmness.

'If Andrew didn't appear, Enid would have been killed by Sabrina's fire ray...' thought Luke, who was still looking at Esther in silence. The atmosphere was tense, and not a single fly was flying. After a few seconds, Luke settled his thoughts and decided to speak. "Don't worry. I'll grant your wish. I don't need Enid's help or yours to annihilate those bastards. If they didn't take her hostage, I could have killed them all," Luke said with a look of hatred and gritted his teeth.

He could only kill one. He wasn't satisfied when he defeated them all and had a great chance. Maybe he should have taken a chance and used his blue aura so they couldn't get away with the teleporters, but if he failed, they would know he possessed two auras. Esther took a step back. She was shocked at the murderous intent of releasing a fourteen-

year-old teenager.

Sabrina knew of Luke's weakness and used it against him. That was his mistake. He wouldn't

let it happen again.

"In a few weeks, I will end our relationship. She saw a classmate die recently, having her attractive boyfriend leave her will put this one in a worse state of mind," Luke said, turning

around and leaving Esther alone.

Esther looked at Luke's back in surprise. At one moment, he seemed to see Enid as an obstacle, and at another moment, he showed concern for her mental state.

When Luke reached the end of the hallway, which was not far from where he had his little conversation with his former mother-in-law, he noticed another familiar person. Veronica

Umbrío.

Veronica was looking at Luke with a rarely-seen expression on her face. She looked like she had overheard the conversation.

Luke looked at her for a second and continued on his way. He wasn't in the mood for a

conversation.

"Hey, wait up!" said Veronica, catching up to Luke. The girl had her left arm bandaged, a

couple of band-aids on her face, and several bruises all over her body.

"What do you want?" asked Luke without pausing.

"We need to go to Principal Weems's office," replied Veronica.

"We do?" asked Luke hesitantly.

"Yes. We have my father, my grandfather, and your housekeeper waiting for us," replied

Veronica. 'Natasha?' thought Luke with a grimace. The last time he'd seen her, he'd gotten a big lecture from her. She was very angry that he didn't tell her about Sabrina Spellman being undercover at Nevermore. If it were up to him, he would have told her, but Edgar told him not to.

According to him, it was to have a fight that would put you over the edge. He wasn't wrong, though. After that battle, his powers grew at a crazy rate. Much better than training. For the second time, he managed to lift over a thousand kilograms with his telekinesis. The first time was with the SUV. Also, this time he managed to control the dozens of roots for

much longer.

His maximum in that battle was about 400 kg, and he lifted more than a thousand. Controlling the roots with precision and digging them up. This achievement made his maximum weight grow by several levels.

These days, he went to the gym and was able to lift over 800 kg! His strength more than doubled. It is hard to believe. According to Edgar, it was normal since, in a situation of stress and adrenaline, he managed to control more than a thousand kilograms for several minutes and with precision. So, it was normal that his maximum weight had this substantial increase. His clairvoyance abilities also improved as he used them in battle. His blue aura abilities remained the same since he didn't use them.

"Alright. Let's go," Luke said dryly, heading to a new destination. The last thing he wanted

was to be reunited with his mother's relatives. His mother's father and her brother would be Luke's uncle and grandfather.
