Wednesday: The Strongest Psychic

Chapter 38: Revenge

 n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Luke visited Principal Weems' office for the second time. Since he had his first talk months ago, he has not visited the office again.

The difference was that this time Larissa had an angry look on her face as she looked at him, and there was a group of students from the tenth grade. Veronica and the other students including Brad and the other boy were beaten up by Luke.

It was all because of the video that was circulating where Luke was brutally beating Brad and the other boy.

As Luke expected, the culprit in this video was not Veronica. His cousin, as weird as it sounds to call her that, said she and the others were harassing him, and Luke just defended himself. She seemed very nervous. She knew that if Luke misinterpreted this it could get her video with Tommy leaked. Ending her social life and becoming a disgrace to her family.

Veronica's friends, especially Luke's victims couldn't believe that she was defending the guy who beat them up and stole their society's books.

"Mm, I understand. I can't let older students bully new students. They will be punished. Two weeks..." said Larissa, as she explained to them the punishment they would have to serve.

It seemed strange to her that someone who was going to bully a person would openly say so to be punished, but that made things easier. Also, in the video, you could see that Luke was surrounded by several older students, and the latter were the ones who approached.

"Although you acted in self-defense you were very violent, Luke. For three days you will help the janitor," added Larissa, and Luke nodded with a slight grimace.

"You are dismissed. Luke stay for a few minutes," said Larissa. Veronica and her friends left the office.

"Why are you so suddenly helping that arrogant boy?" asked the redhead.

"Ever since Luke mentioned that he sensed something funny your attitude changed. What happened?" asked Daphne, looking at Veronica with narrowed eyes.

"Nothing. I'm just doing it because he's my cousin," Veronica said without further explanation and walked away from her friends. She took out her cell phone and texted Luke, explaining that she wasn't the one to blame for him being punished.

'He won't post the video, will he?' thought Veronica nervously.

...

"Why so much violence?" asked Larissa, looking at Luke.

"They backed me into a corner, and I got nervous. I couldn't control my strength. They were two guys who outweighed me in height and weight," said Luke, acting as best he could.

"Yes, of course..." said Larissa, not believing a word of it. She knew Luke defeated a hag since she asked Natasha, and she confirmed it. He could defeat two werewolves who don't have their transformation without much difficulty.

"Let's put that aside. It's been several months since school started. What do you think of Nevermore?" asked Larissa with real enthusiasm.

"It's nice. Better than I first thought," Luke replied, being honest.

At first, he wasn't looking forward to attending Nevermore. The first few days and weeks of class he didn't like it much, but that changed when he met Enid and then became friends with Xavier.

In the short time he knew Xavier, he considered him more trustworthy than Tom, his friend from the orphanage whom he had known for years. Although not because of this, he has enormous trust towards Xavier.

On the other hand, the school facilities were very good. Delicious food, dormitories, places to train, nothing was lacking. Even a secret club library with very useful books.

It was much better than living in an orphanage that was falling apart and full of annoying kids.

"I'm glad to hear that," Larissa said with a smile.

"But, I've heard some rumors that you don't get along with everyone..." added Larissa, not knowing how to say what was on her mind without sounding offensive.

"I have a girlfriend and a friend. What more do I need?" asked Luke. More than that would be a waste of time.

"That's good. I was really surprised when I heard you had a girlfriend," Larissa said, and Luke raised an eyebrow.

"Ahem. It would be nice if you socialized a bit more. was wondering if you'd like to join a club?" she asked.

'Socialize more?" thought Luke. Since he liked Larissa he wouldn't be rude to her. Besides, that thanks to her he was able to make a contract with a publishing house without a problem, and it seemed that her concern was real.

"I was actually thinking of joining the archery club," Luke replied. He wasn't doing it to socialize, he was doing it to learn how to handle the bow and combine it with his powers. 'Hawkeye here I come,' Luke thought, although it would be hard to get to that level, but with his telekinetic powers, he might have more power than the Marvel superhero.

"That's great! Your partner is in that club. It will make inclusion easier. Leave the paperwork to me. You start the following Monday," said Larissa, who seemed more enthusiastic than

him.

After a few more words, Luke left the office. As he walked to his bedroom he saw Veronica's message. She looked very desperate.

'I know. Only if you were an idiot would you be the one to blame,' Luke thought, as he replied. He would not post Veronica's banned video because of this event. Most likely the person who recorded it was a third party who had nothing to do with it and noticed the group of people. Since they were very popular students he decided to record, while hiding.

In addition to Veronica's message, he received a message from the bearded man who interviewed him on the day of the festival. He told him that his interview would go up tomorrow, and he had already done the necessary research to publicly condemn the unethical acts of the normie school and the bullies.

'Good news,' thought Luke with a faint smile.

The days passed at Nevermore. December arrived, and it was getting closer and closer to Christmas and the start of the new year.

During this time Luke joined the archery club and managed to learn how to shoot a bow properly. Although his aim was good, using a bow is not the same as using his hands or his

telekinetic powers.

To his surprise, the captain of the club was the girl with the calm expression and cool gaze who belonged to the tenth graders. One of Veronica's friends. Her name was Daphne, and her archery skills were the best.

To Luke's surprise, the captain was not reluctant to teach him. She put aside the earlier conflict they had and taught him the right way. Her professionalism was to be respected. Another important event was that his interview was posted on YouTube. It was the most viewed so far. Surpassing one million views. A great number.

What Luke found good about this, was the stoning of the normie schools for expelling him and the bullies who picked on him. The bearded man presented a lot of evidence that made Luke's words about his past true.

The school principals uploaded videos apologizing for all the attacks they were receiving for their one-sided behavior. The principal who wanted Luke to upload a video apologizing was removed from his position.

Luke didn't care about this. He was ousted, and they never took his side. He didn't care that the old man would be out of a job.

The best part was that Brad and his friends had to hide on social media and move out of Boston. People on the internet took it upon themselves to publish their personal details to the

whole world.

Luke didn't mind this either. He even enjoyed it. Revenge was good. He was never a person of high morals. If they had never done anything to him, he would not have acted this way.

His training went on smoothly. The only difference was that he changed the focus on blue aura training. He stopped improving his telepathy and photographic memory.

He focused on mind control and mind reading. Then to a lesser extent on mind defense. Once he mastered control and reading he will focus on mind defense with more emphasis. Why does he do this and not prioritize the safety of his mind? According to the book he read on mind reading, only advanced psychics can read your mind by looking at you from a

distance.

At a beginner level, the person literally has to be looking at you very closely and can only read the thoughts you are currently having. They cannot navigate your mind and know your

secrets.

Knowing this, which student will have such a high level of blue aura? It is very difficult or

almost impossible for there to be a student with such abilities. It would be like being level 5 in telekinetic abilities or having an old man like Dumbledore in the school.

So, he decided to devote more time to these skills. When he gets a good level, he will focus on

mental defense.

Christmas came. Luke bought five presents. Two for Enid, one each for Xavier, Larissa, and Natasha. He would buy Edgar, but he is a ghost.

The outings to buy the gifts were controlled by Natasha. She was more paranoid since the hag's attack. Enid wanted to have a romantic Christmas dinner, but Luke couldn't leave Nevermore because of the crazy killers after him.

The real culprit was Natasha, though. Luke would agree to take the risk. It might make his Christmas a little more exciting, but Natasha wouldn't let him leave Nevermore without her watchful eye. It would be awkward to have dinner with Enid and have Natasha next to him.

So he had to make do with the banquet held by the school. Nevermore was bathed in snow, and like Halloween, the students had taken it upon themselves to decorate the school in a

Christmas fashion.

They were not the typical Christmas decorations. They were a combination of Christmassy

and scary. More in the style of the outcasts.

With the banquet over at midnight, Luke handed the gifts to Enid and Xavier. To Enid, he gave

a beautifully intricate gold bracelet and a 7-book saga telling the story of a young wizard. Yes, it was Harry Potter.

It seemed that the author of Harry Potter was able to survive in this world and publish her

work. Not like Stephen King. So Luke could not plagiarize his works. Despite Harry Potter's

fame, Enid had not read it.

Xavier was given a very expensive wooden bow of excellent quality. He was very happy about the gift, as his first bow was normal and already had good use.

Enid gave Luke a Yin and Yang necklace of kittens. The necklace was in pairs. One cat was black

and hugged the white cat forming the Yin and Yang symbol.

Luke wore the black cat collar, and Enid wore the white cat collar.

She also gave him a Christmas sweater. She had the same one. Both gifts match. Very typical

Enid.

Thus Christmas ended. Becoming the most fruitful Christmas in Luke's life. Although it wasn't too hard to top the previous ones.
