Wednesday: The Strongest Psychic

Chapter 19: Immobilization

Chapter 19: ImmobilizationOne Saturday afternoon, Luke was lying in bed reading a book he had bought some time ago.

Nevermore was a boarding school. On Saturdays and Sundays, you didn't have classes, but you had to stay on the school grounds. You had to ask permission to visit Jericho.

Since he had no friends the entire weekend, he was locked in his room reading books, continuing his psychic training, or wasting time on the internet.

"You're wasting your youth!" exclaimed Edgar with indignation. He couldn't believe that his descendant spent his weekends locked in his room.

'What's wrong with him now?' thought Luke, looking up from his book and staring at the ghost of his great-great-grandfather.

"Nevermore will be your most peaceful stage! You must make the most of it. Once you get out of here it will be an all-out war against the damned Spellmans!" shouted Edgar.

"Instead of having as much fun as you say, I should train," Luke said with a grimace. Thanks to Xavier not being in the bedroom he could talk to Edgar quietly.

"Overtraining is not good. There comes a point where it is ineffective and can be counterproductive if you over-train. Once you complete your training routine, you should use the time to have fun and not be a loner," Edgar said, remembering his younger days when he would get drunk and date some girl the same age as Luke. The times were different.

"I'd rather stay here," said Luke, turning his attention back to his book.

'This smelly brat,' thought Edgar, clenching his fist.

"Rather than waste time procrastinating, it's better to train a little since you have so much free time!" said Edgar.

"Didn't you just say that overtraining is bad?" asked Luke.

"I will teach you a very useful telekinesis skill for combat," said Edgar, getting Luke's attention, who put his book aside and looked at him intently.

"Which one?" asked Luke.

"Immobilization," replied Edgar with a slight smile, seeing that he caught Luke's interest. "Immobilizing a person?" asked Luke with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes. A person or any living thing," nodded Edgar.

"I don't think it's too hard," said Luke losing interest. He could already move 180kg objects and throw them at high speeds.

A very heavy person could weigh between 90kg to 100kg. A weight that could easily immobilize. Even an obese person weighing no more than 180kg could be immobilized with his telekinesis.

"You must be thinking that because you can move 180kg weights immobilizing a normal person is pretty easy, right?" asked Edgar, and Luke nodded.

"You are very wrong. Immobilizing a person is very different from moving lifeless inanimate objects. A person will not stay still while being controlled by your telekinesis. He will try to break free. Also, the technique is different from moving objects," Edgar said.

"How hard can it be?" said Luke. With his 180kg, it wouldn't be hard to immobilize an average person no matter how much he wanted to break free. He had already thought that shortly he could immobilize a transformed Hyde or werewolf.

"That's what a person who never tried to immobilize a person would say," Edgar said with contempt and pissed Luke off since he was right. He had never used his telekinetic power to immobilize a person or living thing.

"Let's do it! It'll be a piece of cake," Luke said, pissed off.

"I hope you don't buy your words. The first thing is for you to get a training partner. Find someone light to start with. A girl if possible," said Edgar.

Luke grimaced at this request. Who would agree to be his training dummy at Nevermore?

"Oh, sorry. I forgot you don't even have a friend. At least you'll meet a girl," Edgar said with a smirk.

"Shut up. I have someone in mind," growled Luke, standing up. He put on his sneakers, a black hoodie, the necklace and walked out of the dorm.

"Did you make a friend?" asked Edgar with a little smile. Since Luke didn't wear it when he had classes he didn't know about the relationships he had. He only knew he was a loner because he always stayed in his dorm room if possible.

Luke didn't respond. When he got to the common room from his dorm many were surprised that he had gone out. Luke ignored the stares and walked out of the dorm.

'Her dorm is for girls only I can't go in...' thought Luke, thinking about how to meet the one person he might consider closest at Nevermore.

It was Enid. Although he could try to sneak into the girl's dorm it would be too conspicuous, and he doesn't want to attract attention or get caught. So he has no choice but to wander the Nevermore grounds in

He got up from the bench and started walking to go to the gym. Since he was out of his

bedroom, he would at least train physically. This time Edgar didn't say anything. He didn't

scoff and followed Luke silently.

When he turned a corner, he bumped into a person. It was a girl who was looking at her cell phone. As she collided with Luke she fell to the ground.

"Ouch..." the girl mumbled, grabbing her forehead.

Luke only lost his balance a little. As he was distracted thinking about some things, he didn't

have enough reaction to dodge.

'Sabrina Jones,' thought Luke, recognizing the blonde girl. A psychic capable of creating and

controlling fire.
