Wednesday: The Strongest Psychic

Chapter 84: Polygamy



Luke returned to Nevermore. He went straight to his room and found Xavier and Ajax watching TV while eating pizza and drinking soda of questionable quality.

Sleeping with the TV on and these two guys talking would be difficult, so he put off his sleep.

"Will you guys keep eating junk and wasting time?" asked Luke as he opened his closet and searched for sportswear. Since he couldn't sleep, he would train and also talk to his great- great-grandfather in a quieter environment.

"Don't be a spoilsport. It's the weekend, and the day is awful. We train enough Monday through Friday," Xavier said, taking a bite of his slice of pizza.

"You're going to practice?" asked Ajax in disbelief that Luke was putting on his sports outfit.

"Yes," Luke replied. Even though he got little sleep his outcast physique is better than normies. He could sleep less and be in perfect condition. He just liked to sleep like everyone else.

"How many days have you been staying here?" asked Luke, looking at Ajax. He noticed a mattress lying on the floor with sheets and pillows. He got to thinking, and for several days now Ajax has been staying in his and Xavier's room.

"You're finally figuring it out. I thought you'd never ask," Ajax said.

"It took him four days to ask. I win. Give me my hundred dollars," Xavier said with a smile. Ajax resignedly pulled out a hundred-dollar bill from his wallet and handed it to Xavier.

'Did they bet?' thought Luke. It wasn't a big deal to him that Ajax was staying in his room. Since he wasn't bringing girls anymore he didn't care.

"This year I have to share a dorm with my brother. I can't stand him that's why I came here," explained Ajax, sighing.

"You have a brother?" asked Luke in surprise.

"I told you," Xavier said, holding out his hand, and Ajax went back to give him another hundred dollars.

"..." Luke looked at the exchange without saying anything.

"You should listen when someone talks to you," Ajax said, though he didn't sound annoyed at all. He knew Luke and considered him his friend. He knew he sometimes went into automatic mode and was in his world thinking, who knows what things.

"Sorry," Luke said, scratching his cheek.

"It doesn't matter. I have a younger brother. He's entering this year at Nevermore. He's my half-brother," said Ajax.

"Half-brother?" asked Luke curiously. This meant two things. Either their parents split up and one of them had another child, or they cheated, and Ajax's half-brother was born.

"Yes. He's my stepmother's son," Ajax replied.

"I understand. I didn't know you could share a bedroom with someone from a different year," Luke said, putting the necklace around his neck.

"If the family asks, it's granted. But usually, they put you with someone from your year," Ajax said.

"I don't think you understand," said Xavier, pausing the movie and looking at Luke, who looked at him blankly.

"What do you mean I don't understand?" asked Luke.

"You think Ajax's parents split up, and his father married another woman, and they had his half-brother, right?" said Xavier.

"Yes. What else could it be?" said Luke, who still didn't understand.

"I forgot you came from a normie orphanage," commented Ajax.

"What you think is not so. Ajax's father has three wives. He didn't split up, he's married to all three," Xavier explained.

"Exactly. I have an older brother who already finished Nevermore and is working on the council," Ajax said, normally.

Luke's expression had changed. He hadn't expected this revelation.

"Three wives? Polygamy is accepted in outcasts?" asked Luke, and they both nodded. "Polyandry is also accepted," Ajax added. This was when a woman had multiple husbands.

The marginalized did not discriminate between women and men. As long as the offspring can be greater, it doesn't matter if a woman has several husbands or a man has several wives. 'I don't know why I am surprised. According to Edgar, marriage between relatives is also accepted in marginalized people because it has no genetic consequences as in normies. It even makes it possible to maintain the lineage. In the case of a psychic family let their children have the aura they want and dominate,' Luke thought with a hand on his chin. Thinking about it further polygamy made sense. The outcasts had a very poor population compared to the normies. If you could have more offspring all the better.

"They should mention this in Marginal History," Luke muttered, as he walked out of the dorm room in the direction of the gym.

"I told you inter-family marriage is accepted. It wouldn't be uncommon for polygamy to be practiced," Edgar said, coming out of the collar.

[Were you listening?] said Luke with a grimace. He could predict what talk Edgar wanted to have.

"From beginning to end. You are the last member of the Poe family. You must increase the number of family members. Polygamy will be of great help to you," Edgar said with a smile and stroking his mustache.

'Here we go,' thought Luke, sighing internally.

"Plus you're a three aura user. Your offspring are very likely to possess two auras. The more, better. If you find a two aura psychic imagine your offspring, they'll be two auras for sure! That's why that Veronica girl was a good choice. But you pushed her away," Edgar said, shaking his head in closing.

[I can barely put up with one girl, and you want me to put up with two or three?] asked Luke. He wouldn't have the energy. With Enid he had enough and that he was in love.

If he had to spend his time satisfying two or three women, he would go crazy. Having another wife he didn't trust and couldn't stand would be a martyrdom he wanted to spare himself.

"Oh, you're one of the idealists. I was one of those too," Edgar said proudly of his offspring. The ideal in these cases ould e to marry for convenience, not thinking about loving all your wives. Luke didn't think that way.

[Exactly! You only had one wife. After she died, you almost died of depression until you fell in love with your partner] said Luke.

"It's true. I only had one wife, and with Elmira, I didn't get to marry, since I died. However, your situation is different. You are the only member of the Poe family. Having more than one wife will be key to reviving the family," Edgar explained.

"I won't force you to marry someone you don't love. You have your whole life ahead of you, just keep that in mind," he added.

Luke nodded reluctantly. He'd rather not talk about it. He arrived at the secondary gym, and it

was empty as usual.

"What do you want to train today?" asked Edgar.

[Before that I want to talk about something] said Luke, making Edgar curious.

"Oh, what is it?" asked Edgar, noticing Luke's seriousness.

Luke began to tell him about discovering the hooded men who attacked last year. They were back in Jericho. Since he knew their presence, he could recognize them which meant Sabrina

Spellman was in Jericho.

He also told her about the prophecy Rowan told them about. Which Wednesday would destroy Jericho, and Luke would help her or whatever his presence in the drawing means. He showed him the drawings on his cell phone. The one that featured Wednesday, him, and a pilgrim. "A twenty-five-year-old prophecy... The pilgrim must have to do with Crackstone that's for sure," muttered Edgar with a thoughtful face.

Edgar was far more experienced than Luke, Wednesday, and Rowan. He knew about the prophecies. Even if they weren't 100% certain, something would happen. It could not be

ignored.

[How strong was Crackstone? He was a normie, but from what I know, he killed a lot of outcasts] Luke asked curiously. Edgar worked hunting demons and anyone who deals with them. He should know information about Crackstone.

"Despite being a normie his strength could not be underestimated. With dark rituals and a deal with a demon, he came to have the strength to be reckoned with. A yellow aura psychic would have to be at the top of level four to fight him," Edgar replied in a serious tone. "Goody Addams almost died and devoted much of her life to getting her revenge and killing Crackstone," he added.

'The top of level four...' Luke thought with a grimace. Even though he was already at level four, he was nowhere near the top.

"With my maximum strength, I could defeat it with no problem. Besides, I possessed two

auras which would make the job easier. In your case, by possessing three auras you could take him on at your current level. Although you lack a bit of battle experience," said Edgar, seeingn/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Luke's expression.

"Really?" asked Luke with a slight smile.

"Yes. Don't underestimate the three auras. Your powers and arsenal are superior to most for

having three auras. Many make deals with demons to possess two auras, and you have three

naturally," Edgar replied.

'Then if he's revived, I could take him on,' Luke thought more relieved. Knowing this, he could play with the prophecy and use it to his advantage without worrying too much. "As for the Spellmans, you've done well to find out about them. They must think you're still

in the dark. This is the perfect time to hunt them down. What do you have in mind?" asked Edgar, who was thinking the same thing as Luke. To hunt down their enemies who thought they were the hunters.
