Rowan was sweaty and short of breath. He had run as fast as he could to try to keep up with his teammate but to no avail. He was now at a two-versus-one and fatigued from running so fast.
‘What do I do?’ wondered Rowan nervously as he looked at Luke and Wednesday. He noticed a mummy with black clothes, most likely his teammate.
Wednesday, with her indifferent face, began to walk slowly towards Rowan, who focused his attention on the pale girl.
‘If I defeat her, the darkness will disappear, and Nao will be released,’ thought Rowan, starting to act. Using his hands and vision as a focus, he lifted a large number of objects from the ground. Stones of different sizes, branches, etc.
‘Level two,’ Luke thought, slightly disappointed. If Rowan was at level three, he could move an entire tree. Unlike the trees in the Jericho Forest, the trees on Raven Island are less heavy. About 250 to 300kg is the lightest.
From one second to the next, all the objects shot toward Wednesday, who stopped her march and moved her hands in a circular motion. The singular thing was that her hands had a dark energy.
A black shield covered Wednesday from the projectiles launched by Rowan. No projectile was able to pass through the shield. Many objects passed through Wednesday and headed to where Luke was.
As the projectiles were about to hit Luke and the flag, they suddenly stopped. The projectiles hovered in the air and, a second later, fell to the ground.
‘Even his control of many objects is bad,’ thought Luke, who had stopped Rowan’s projectiles with just his eyes and without any effort.
If Rowan had had better control, he could have sent all the objects to a particular point on Wednesday’s shield. Maybe that way, he could have broken it, but many of the objects were deflected and not aimed at Wednesday.
‘Holy crap!’ thought Rowan as he saw the unpolluted dark shield. He didn’t even notice that Luke stopped the objects without any difficulty; otherwise, his fighting spirit would be all over the floor.
The black shield vanished. The alarming thing for Rowan was that Wednesday had disappeared. Luke had watched as she vanished in an instant through the shadows.
Wednesday materialized behind Rowan. She emerged from her shadow, and before he could react, she delivered a sharp blow to the back of his head, knocking him unconscious.
‘She travels in the shadows. That’s how she managed to spy on us and get back so fast,’ thought Luke, again jealous of this incredible ability. It was like teleporting, though still not as broken.
“That girl is good! It was to be expected from an Addams,” said Edgar in admiration of Wednesday. He watched the whole fight. The pale girl’s moves were flawless and perfectly executed.
She defeated two psychics her age in a matter of minutes. Even though she didn’t take them on in a two versus one, it was still a difficult feat for psychics of that age, except for Luke.
“Yeah…” muttered Luke. He hadn’t expected Wednesday to have such high strength compared to Rowan. She beat him in a few breaths. In the series, she had been defeated easily, but here it was the other way around.
“Her scary attitude I like. Make her your girlfriend. I’m sure she’s better compared to the girls you sleep with,” Edgar commented.
A girl with a peculiar personality, a black aura, and also belonging to the great Addams family. It’s a great match for his offspring. Most important of all, her talent is very high, just like Luke.
[What the hell are you talking about?] asked Luke with a grimace. To Luke’s chagrin, he couldn’t hide the necklace outside his room. So Edgar could have come out at a time when he was with one of the girls he slept with this last time.
As for having Wednesday as a girlfriend, it seemed impossible to him. Who the hell would have the patience to woo this girl? As for the series of Wednesday he saw in his past life, Tyler the Hyde, he managed to win Wednesday over to some extent and kiss her.
However, Luke no longer believed in that series in this world. There were many differences. For one thing, it was already a miracle that Wednesday would notice a Normie guy like Tyler, who gave her roses and made her watch romantic movies.
“What are you thinking about?” asked Wednesday, approaching Luke, who was still sitting on the log and arguing with the ghost of his great-great-grandfather.
“Huh? Nothing…” replied Luke, getting to his feet.
“Let’s go,” said Wednesday, starting to walk to where the other students and professors were.
“We’ll leave them here?” asked Luke following Wednesday.
“Let the professors take care of them,” replied Wednesday, not caring about the unconscious Rowan and Nao. The latter no longer had the darkness bindings but had been knocked unconscious. Perhaps she was afraid of the dark.
‘What a nice classmate,’ thought Luke, floating Rowan, and Nao. He took them to the professors to be attended to, even though they had almost no injuries.
Xavier and the other students watched this fight with their mouths agape. They thought the monster was Luke, but Luke did nothing. The Addams family goth girl flawlessly defeated Rowan and Nao.
‘Another monster made it to class,’ thought Xavier with a strange expression on his face. After Luke’s fight (although he barely did anything), it was the turn of Eugene Ottinger and Rose Winslow’s group versus a boy named Nick and another boy named Arthur.
Luke looked at Eugene. A secondary character he saw in the series. He had known him for the past year and had spoken to him a little. The boy was in a club by himself and was a loner. He had so little presence that sometimes he forgot he was his classmate.
‘His aura is blue. In the series, he used a type of telepathy to control the bees,’ Luke thought, without being very interested in Eugene’s ability.
Controlling animals by being a telepath isn’t hard. If you can command humans, you can also do the same with animals that have less complex brains than a normal human or psychic. This is another branch of mind control. An ability that is not easy to control as a telepath. Luke has already mastered controlling animals or insects. It’s not much of a challenge for him. He managed to control the thought of Sabrina, a psychic with two auras. Doing it on animals was easier. The hard part would be controlling the animal or insect for a long time to make it do what you want, but it’s not hard if you practice enough.
Eugene’s teammate was a green aura user. She had a fit, athletic build. Very different from the average girl. She has muscles in her legs and a shapely back. It wasn’t exaggerated to the point of not looking like a woman.
The girl was taller than Eugene. Also, she had a better physique, as Eugene had a belly.
On the other team, a boy named Nick also possessed a green aura and had a muscular and tall physique. The boy named Arthur possessed a violet aura. Very useless in combat like this. So he was allowed to carry his personal weapon, which was a kind of dull wooden spear.
Possessing a violet aura does not give you any useful combat skills. So Arthur could be considered the weakest of the lot. However, knowing that he had honed his combat skills and physical condition.
‘Green aura…’ thought Luke enviously (he was very envious today). If he could choose to have another aura, he would choose green. Anyone who knew Luke, a three-aura user who wanted to have four, would be banging their head against a wall. Most psychics only have one aura.
At first, you may think that someone with a green aura will only be a healer who is in the rear. However, this thought is a big mistake.
It not only serves to heal people, but it also serves to strengthen yourself. That’s the best thing. You can improve your strength, strengthen your bones, and regenerate yourself, heal yourself in the middle of a battle, and even regenerate from serious injuries if you achieve an advanced level.
A base psychic has greater strength than a normie; a psychic with a green aura would be considered a superhuman, unlike the other psychics. There are limitations, but you can become very strong physically with that aura.
The combat began. To Eugene’s bad luck, he had to attack, which disadvantaged him as his physical condition was not very good. However, his teammate did not let him down like Nao
did with Rowan.
When they reached the flag area, an intense fight broke out between Rose and Nick. Two green aura users. The physical power of both was monstrous. They wounded and healed themselves
without stopping fighting.
Arthur faced Eugene, while the other two fought. Since he had no useful aura for combat, he had long since improved his martial arts. Physically and experience surpassing Eugene, who had a frightened expression as he dodged the attacks.
‘He’s weaker than I thought. He still doesn’t have the mind-control ability of humans,’ Luke thought, shaking his head. If he had that ability, he could make Arthur stop his attacks with a
simple command.
“I know what you’re thinking. Mind control is a tricky skill, and more so in the middle of a battle,” said Edgar, noticing Luke’s disappointed expression.
[I managed it in a death match] commented Luke, remembering his battle with Sabrina in the
gym.
“You are a special case. Remember, even Veronica didn’t master it like you,” said Edgar.
[Mm, that’s right] said Luke. Veronica, unlike Eugene, was considered a double-aura genius.
As everyone expected, Eugene lost to Arthur. His current abilities were useless in combat, and his physical condition was deplorable. He had no use for telepathy or photographic memory, if he controlled it at all.
After that, Arthur helped his teammate defeat Rose, who endured a lot but was defeated in a two versus one. Her strength was similar to Nick’s, if anyone else interfered, it would be difficult for her to emerge victorious.
Finally came the final round. There were only three groups left. Professor Charles explained to
them that they would face each other in a pitched battle. The last member standing would
win. They didn’t take much pain with the rules.
