Chapter 66: Combat class I

Chapter 66: Combat class I"Listen up, everyone. The fights will be simple. One team will be the attacker, and one will be the defender. The attacking team must steal the flag from the defenders. Once stolen they must leave the marked perimeter, and it will be their victory. The defending team must defeat the attackers or hold on for thirty minutes. The areas are already designated," explained Charles.

"The only thing that is not allowed is deadly attacks. We have Professor Fitts, who will heal you. So, don't be afraid to fight and hurt each other," he added. S~eaʀᴄh the novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

'Whoa... They really take this tournament seriously,' thought Luke, listening to all the professor's explanations. They even planted cameras all over Raven Island. So, that the spectators could see each group's match perfectly.

They drew lots to see which groups would face each other. There were six groups in total. Luke's group was number six, and they were to face group number two.

Group number two consisted of a girl of Japanese origin named Nao Tomori. She was one of the new students this year and was a transfer. Luke suspected that this girl belonged to the Spellmans and wanted to assassinate him like Sabrina, but he couldn't know unless he sneak attacked her and read her memories.

The odds of her belonging to the Spellmans are low, as she is Japanese. It would be difficult to create such a real identity.

Nao's companion was Rowan Laslow. A boy with brown eyes and short brown hair. The person who tried to assassinate Wednesday in the series to stop the supposed prophecy that Wednesday would destroy Nevermore.

Rowan is a scary bundle of nerves, introverted, and an outcast among his peers. Luke finds it hard to think that this coward could be encouraged to try to assassinate Wednesday.

Last year at the beginning Rowan showed advanced psychic abilities compared to the others (not counting Luke and Sabrina). Along with Luke, Sabrina, and Xavier, Rowan was in the top four best psychic students.

Luke if he had to do a top from last year would position Rowan in the top 3. In the top 1 would be him, followed by Sabrina and then Rowan.

However, Rowan did not make much progress compared to the other students. Luke sees Xavier's current abilities and believes that in a battle Xavier would defeat Rowan.

The sky-blue aura is more powerful than it first appeared. Xavier can now draw in the air itself. He only needs a brush, and his speed is much faster than last year.

With this again he realized that the series he saw in his past life of this world was unreal. That world was similar, but very weak compared to the one he is living in.

The first group was Xavier with his friend Mike. They seemed to be childhood friends, although they were not as close as they used to be. Mike possessed an orange aura. Luke saw how in classes he could manipulate the earth.

They were up against a girl with a white aura and a tall boy who possessed telekinesis. The professors took each group to their assigned area. Xavier's group was to defend. That too was decided by luck. This favored Xavier and Mike. Their skills were better at defending.

Luke and the others watched both groups through several screens broadcasting in real-time. It was a rare sight that in a forest there were connected screens with many wires.

The combat began. The attackers began to head to where Xavier and Mike were with the object to defend. The distance was not long, nor short. If they ran at a moderate speed they would arrive in fifteen minutes.

"They are slow. At my speed, I'd be there in five minutes," Wednesday muttered to herself, making plans in her head to finish the fight as quickly as possible if she was on the attacker's side.

In fifteen minutes, they arrived at the area where Xavier and Mike were already in position. In the time they had they set up what defenses and traps they could.

The two psychics did not go on the attack. They watched the circling landscape, moving carefully and trying to find their opponents who had hidden using the forest to their advantage.

[At this rate, they will fall into the traps] Luke said mentally. Next to him was a ghost floating with a cup in his hand. It was Edgar who was watching the battle curiously.

"I doubt it. Look at the girl. She's using clairvoyance to create a mental map of the area. That way, she'll know where the traps were set," Edgar commented, realizing what the girl was doing. With his years of experience and being a clairvoyant he could figure this out with a simple glance.

'That's right... I didn't notice,' thought Luke, noticing that the girl had her eyes wide open as she scanned the surrounding area. Her eyes had a white glow to them that Luke had not noticed before.

Clairvoyance had several uses. Luke usually focused on improving his observation haki (as he called it) which served more for combat. Usually, clairvoyants don't focus on that.

They use clairvoyance to get information about a certain object, person, or location. Or for power reading. To know about the auras of their opponents or to know if they are a different type of outcast.

The latter worried Luke, as his clairvoyant classmate could see that Luke had three auras. However, the eye of truth is a difficult ability and is visible at the initial level. That is, Luke could see the girl with a third strange eye staring at him.

What relieved him the most was the technique Edgar taught him to hide his auras. In this way, clairvoyants would not be able to see that he possessed three auras. Luke would not hide all three auras. He only leaves the yellow aura visible.

This technique involves conscious control over one's psychic energy, altering its vibration to make it less noticeable to the eyes of other clairvoyants.

However, it is not foolproof. A more powerful clairvoyant than him could realize the trickery, and if he controls the eye of truth very well he could discover his three auras.

Luke wanted to keep it hidden that he was a three-aura user for obvious reasons. Already being a two-aura user was super rare. Elite psychic families would jump in a paw if they had a member in their family with two auras.

According to Edgar if in a prominent family of psychics, there is a succession fight between three siblings, if one of the siblings has two auras he would automatically win the fight no matter how young he is. That is one of the many examples of the advantages you would have by possessing a double aura.

Now imagine having three auras. It would only put him in the eye of the hurricane. It could cause the Spellmans to send their strongest members to assassinate him, as he would become a major threat by possessing three auras.

While Luke was thinking about these things, the combat had already begun. Thanks to the clairvoyant girl they were able to dodge the traps set by Xavier and Mike.

In addition, they knew where they were hiding, so the telekinetic began an attack. His level was at the top of level 2. The trees were very heavy, but instead. He used three branches that weighed a little over 150kg.

Mike used an earth dome to defend against two branches. His reaction was fast and accurate. As for Xavier, he managed to dodge the branch thanks to his agility and physical prowess.

Although psychics had weaker bodies than a werewolf or a vampires, they still had superior bodies to normies. More strength, more speed, endurance, etc.

Nevermore and outcasts in general placed great importance on physical and martial arts development. For some reason, they learned fencing, and archery, among other clubs dedicated to combat.

As a viewer, Luke was so hooked on the battle that he could see it on the highest-quality screens. It looked like a superhero movie. An adult army-trained normie wouldn't last five minutes against the psychic students who were only fifteen years old.

Not only did they have powers that defied logic, but their physical abilities were incredible they looked like trained soldiers with superhuman abilities.

'And I already see this as normal...' thought Luke with a strange look on his face.

Finally, time ran out, and the attacking team couldn't take the flag. Xavier's team won by defending the base. Team One moved on to the next round, and team three was eliminated. Professor Fitts went to heal the students, who had bruises, scrapes, and the occasional broken bone. In addition to fatigue. Luke got his first glimpse of advanced healing from a green aura

psychic.

He had seen Veronica, but this one was not an expert like Professor Fitts. The professor needed only a few minutes to heal everyone and make them as good as new.

'I hope Sabrina's bitch didn't get her eye back,' Luke thought. Seeing the crazy regeneration

abilities that were in this world, it wasn't crazy that Sabrina, with her family connections, could get her eye regenerated.

As the other two professors were getting the area in condition for the next battle, Professor

Charles slyly called Luke over, and they stepped away from the group to talk privately.

"What do you need, professor?" asked Luke, curious about the sudden chatter.
