Chapter 40: Guilty discovered
Chapter 40: Guilty discovered
Luke arrived at the gigantic gym. Of course, it was empty and dark. He turned on the lights and began going to the weights area. There were three areas in the gym.
The weights area. The fencing area. This area is secondary and smaller compared to where they have fencing classes. Finally, an area with a couple of rings. This is used for friendly duels or for the wrestling clubs that are at Nevermore.
Luke walked over to the weights area. It was the best place to train his telekinesis and achieve new weights. He was like a muscle. You had to give it progressive overload.
As he was thinking about how to train to get rid of his anger from the argument he had with Enid, he heard the door open. He thought it was Enid, but when he turned around he saw another blonde girl.
A girl with a delicate figure, green eyes, and wavy blonde hair. Sabrina Jones. One of the most popular girls in her year and a psychic who can create and control fire.
"What are you doing here?" asked Luke in an unfriendly tone. He wasn't in the mood and wanted to train alone.
His relationship with Sabrina was almost nil, although he had more interaction with her than with other students. Months ago she helped him with his training, and later they went to the harvest festival.
"Is the gym just for you? I come to train," Sabrina replied in a calm tone and walked towards Luke.
"Aren't you with your family?" asked Luke, annoyed.
"No. My parents died when I was little," replied Sabrina with a slight smile infused with sadness.
Luke was surprised and felt a strange feeling. Empathy. He was feeling empathy for someone else?
"How did they die?" asked Luke.
"An accident," replied Sabrina with a sad expression, and Luke felt more empathy.
"My parents died too," said Luke, feeling weird about the answer he was giving. Minutes ago, he was angry and upset, but now he was giving pity next to a girl with no parents just like him.
"I heard you came from an orphanage. It's a shame..." said Sabrina with an sad expression taking a few slow steps towards Luke.
'This girl understands me,' thought Luke, feeling comfortable with Sabrina's presence.
"Too bad you didn't die with them!" added Sabrina, attacking Luke with her hand.
The fingers of Sabrina's hand were clasped together, the palm slightly curved inward, as if she were pointing a sharp blade.
Most dangerous of all, her palm was engulfed in a fiery flame that enveloped her fingers.
Luke reacted instinctively to the deadly attack that was headed straight for his head. Sabrina's fiery fingers scraped his cheek making a large gash.
"Tsch," Sabrina clicked her tongue and with her other hand created flames and attacked Luke. Her goal was to incinerate him completely.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
However, Luke didn't stand still and watch her attack him. In fact, he did. He physically stood still. Staring at Sabrina with his telekinesis he sent her away from him.
Sabrina was pushed more than ten meters, and her second attack was nullified before it reached its destination. To Luke's surprise, the blonde girl didn't go flying like a rag until she crashed into the wall. A translucent barrier protected her so she was only pushed a few meters without taking any damage.
'What just happened?' thought Luke, touching the blood coming out of his cheek. Besides feeling pain from the cut, he felt a great burning.
Luke was able to dodge Sabrina's attack for a few seconds. All thanks to his clairvoyance ability that he called observation haki. He did not sense any murderous intent from the blonde, until the last moment when she attacked.
If he hadn't trained all these months this skill it would have been very likely that he would have been killed by Sabrina's sudden attack.
"Tsch. How the hell did you dodge that?" asked Sabrina in a whining tone and a frown. Her once empathetic expression was now filled with anger and rage. Her eyes gave off murderous intent.
"Clairvoyance saved your life," Edgar said in a serious tone. He was just as surprised as Luke. He didn't sense anything strange with the girl and only thought she wanted to flirt with his great-great-grandson.
If he had had the same power as when he was alive he could have easily noticed and warned him, but now he was a ghost with almost no powers.
"What are you doing bitch? That's attempted murder," Luke said with a frown wiping the blood dripping from his cheek.
"Yes, I know. Next time, I won't miss and cut your head off," Sabrina said with an angelic smile very different from what she was saying.
'What's with her changing emotions?' Luke thought.
"You were the one responsible for sending that hag?" asked Luke.
"Oh, you seem to be using your brain a little, Luke Poe. Yes, it was me. I didn't think you could beat that hag. It wasn't an easy process controlling that madwoman," replied Sabrina with a
smile.
"Dual aura user," Edgar said with an interested look.
"In addition to possessing an orange aura, you have a red aura. You can manipulate people's emotions," Luke said with a grimace. That's why he felt empathy towards this girl. Because of that power. He would never empathize with a person he barely knows. No matter how many things they have in common.
"It's kind of obvious, you idiot. It's not too hard to figure out. Now die, I don't have time," Sabrina said, creating two fireballs in her palms. They were much bigger than what she showed in class.
Sabrina launched the two fireballs, and they shot toward Luke at great speed. He felt the temperature rise rapidly.
Luke raised both hands, and the two fireballs stopped midway. He tried to throw them back, but there was something in the way. Sabrina was also struggling to get them to head towards
him.
"Arrogant! Trying to get my fire to attack me!" exclaimed Sabrina indignantly.
"I wonder if you're resistant to your fire, bitch!" exclaimed Luke increasing his telekinetic strength. The fireballs began to head towards Sabrina at a great speed.
He could move 350kg with his telekinetic strength. He knew he wouldn't lose in a push against another person. Besides, Sabrina was not a yellow aura user. She controlled the fire and pushed it. Luke controlled more numerous and powerful telekinetic waves. Controlling objects and pushing them at high speeds was his specialty. If someone created two fireballs for him he was saving him the trouble of finding a weapon to use.
'Shit!' thought Sabrina concentrating all her energy on making the fire disappear. She partially succeeded. Small flames scorched her clothes, leaving slight burns on the fabric and causing the smell of smoke in the air.
She didn't think Luke's telekinetic strength would be that strong, 'Level three or four?' thought Sabrina with a frown. The fireballs were too big to make them disappear in such a
short amount of time.
Luke didn't give Sabrina time to rest. Ten 25kg discs floated up behind him and headed for the blonde girl at full speed.
Luke at this time had already managed to lift objects not in his range of vision. If he was in a cloud of smoke like when he faced the witch, he could still use his telekinesis.
This is thanks to the sixth sense he developed. Another clairvoyant ability he learned during this time with Edgar's guidance.
This sixth sense gives the user a type of extrasensory perception. Allowing him to see people
or objects if they are hidden from view. Previously, he could not do this. To control objects through his telekinesis they had to be in his range of vision, but now he no longer had this disadvantage. He had a 360-degree vision.
Although to have this vision, he had to activate the ability, it was not passive. It would be passive at an advanced level.
From all directions, the disks flew at Sabrina at a speed equal to a bullet. No matter how much she defended herself with a fire barrier it would be useless. Since the disks are made of iron. They will pass the fire and only get hotter.
Sabrina's fire does not have the intensity to melt the disks in a matter of seconds or so Luke
thought.
Sabrina sensing imminent danger did not hold back. Fire shot out of her eyes at an incredible speed and power. As if they were laser beams, but fire.
To Luke's surprise, five discs were pulverized. The heat of the fire shot from her eyes was far superior to that of the fireballs. However, Luke maneuvered the remaining five disks to attack
Sabrina's blind spots.
She had no eyes on her back to shoot fire. Just when Luke thought the disks would crush Sabrina's delicate body, the barrier that protected her before appeared again.
The barrier turned the remaining disks to ash.
"Does she have another aura?" muttered Luke in confusion.
"No. Three aura users are rare. You won't find two in one place. That barrier is a defensive
artifact. Look at her right hand. It must be that strange ring," said Edgar, and Luke noticed a
ruby ring on Sabrina's right hand.
"The Spellman family has good objects," Luke said with a look full of hatred. This girl belonged to the family that killed her parents and left his family in ruins.
"Of course. My family isn't on the brink like the Poe family," Sabrina said with a wide smile.
'This bitch,' thought Luke feeling anger boil through his veins.
"Don't be swayed. She's controlling your emotions to make you angry," said Edgar. Sabrina went back on the attack using her full strength. Her eyes glowed again, and she was
about to fire her fire beam again. She couldn't let Luke attack her again with so many disks. However, as she was about to fire, she felt an unfamiliar voice in her head telling her to stop. Her eyes returned to normal, and she saw that near Luke thirty discs were flying around him.
Each weighs 10 kg.
"Let's see how long your ring lasts," said Luke, and the thirty discs began to fly at an
incredible speed.
'What happened!?' thought Sabrina in alarm, seeing how thirty discs surrounded her and
started to fly towards her.
Again she wanted to launch her powerful fire laser beam ability, but again she heard a voice
commanding her to stop, and she did.
The disks began to be destroyed by the barrier. One, two, three, five, seven, ten, but the bombardment would not stop. Every time Sabrina wanted to destroy disks with her fire a voice in her head told her to stop, and she obeyed.
'That's him! That's mind control... He has two auras?' thought Sabrina in surprise, looking at
Luke.
As disc number twenty was destroyed by the barrier, the ruby in Sabrina's hand was
destroyed, 'No, this is not good!' thought Sabrina in terror looking at ten discs surrounding
her.
She no longer had a barrier to protect her, and besides she couldn't use her fire as Luke stopped her actions with mind control when she was about to summon fire.
"Come on, Spellman. Show me that earlier arrogance," Luke said with a stern and hateful
expression. His anger had been heightened by this girl and he was already in a bad mood from
before. Maybe it would be a good idea to crush all her bones with the iron disks.
