Chapter 49: Poe Cup II



Everyone started rowing enthusiastically, trying to reach Raven Island as soon as possible. Everything was allowed in the race.

Luke paddled without paying much attention. He was only looking towards the canoe where Enid and Sabrina were. Ever since he saw his girlfriend as a representative of her bedroom he started to get a bad feeling.

‘What is this bitch planning?’ thought Luke, more nervous than before.

He wasn’t afraid to confront Sabrina’s plans. He was confident in defeating her, but if Enid was involved it was different. He didn’t want Enid to get hurt. He never thought he would have such a strong weak point.

Everyone at Nevermore saw that Luke spent all his time with Enid. Then next to Xavier and Ajax. It was clear that Enid was the person closest to him. His Achilles heel.

“Why are you paddling with your arms!? Use your power!” exclaimed Andrew, watching out of the corner of his eye as Luke paddled with little strength.

“Huh? Oh yeah. I forgot,” Luke said, snapping back to reality. With his telekinesis, he began to control the two oars. The speed increased by far.

Andrew’s physical strength was excellent. His arms were muscular, and Luke could see that they were suddenly getting bigger and sprouting hairs.

‘Partial transformation…’ thought Luke a little surprised.

Just like Enid has her claws sharpened when she gets angry, someone else moving forward could transform his entire arm into that of a werewolf. Getting a tremendous increase in strength.

More advanced werewolves didn’t need a full moon to convert. What they did, is that at full moon the transformation is inevitable and more powerful than normal.

So young werewolves use it to achieve their first full transformation. The average first transformation is at the age of fifteen.

Luke’s canoe took first place. His team consisted of two werewolves, a gorgon and him, a psychic.

His task besides paddling with his telekinesis was to protect the boat from enemy attacks. With his telekinesis, he was the perfect person for that. If possible he should attack the others.

‘Should I destroy Sabrina’s canoe?’ thought Luke. That way Enid would never reach the island and would be safe from the Spellman girl’s plans.

The problem was that he had no usable object to control with his telekinesis and attack the canoe. He could use a psychic slashing blow, but it was easier to defend against.

“TAKE THIS!”

Luke heard a scream, so he turned his head. He saw Veronica’s ex-boyfriend, Tommy with a furious expression. His arm was transformed into a muscular, hairy werewolf arm.

Tommy thrust his werewolf arm into the water. With a powerful movement and using his claws, he generated a wave that rose to a height of four meters.

‘Is that even possible?’ thought Luke, surprised by Tommy’s strength. Brad was a little shit next to him.

“I got this!” exclaimed Andrew, making a similar move to Tommy. With his werewolf arm, he generated a wave of roughly the same height.

The two waves head towards each other with unstoppable fury, “Hold on!” shouted the gorgon boy, bracing for impact.

The two waves collided with a deafening roar, sending a shower of water droplets in all directions. The waves break up into white foam, scattering in all directions and sending concentric ripples along the river.

The four canoes are shaken by the force of the impact, reeling momentarily before stabilizing again.

‘Do they want to kill someone?’ thought Luke. With his telekinesis, he helped his canoe keep its balance and not be pushed backward.

Thanks to this, their team managed to take the lead. The bad thing was that they became the target of the other three teams. Sabrina created two fireballs and launched them at Luke’s canoe.

‘What weak fireballs…’ thought Luke, deflecting the fireballs with his telekinesis. He made them head towards Tommy’s canoe. It was useless to send them back to Sabrina’s canoe as she could undo them.

These fireballs were very weak compared to the ones Sabrina showed when she tried to assassinate him in the gym. They were even weaker than the ones she showed when she showed up in class several months ago.

“Damn psychic!” growled Tommy using water from the river to extinguish both fireballs. However, this caused him to lose time and be overtaken by Veronica’s team.

‘He does hate me,’ thought Luke with a grimace.

Tommy did not re-create a wave of four meters or more to attack Luke’s canoe. As it would only cause them to get further ahead by the impact of the remaining waves.

“Good job brother-in-law, keep paddling there’s not long to go!” said Andrew with a grin, seeing Raven Island closer than ever.

Daphne, the captain of the archery club and representative of the dormitory along with Veronica, launched several arrows at Luke’s canoe. Their goal was to shoot several holes in them to sink it.

“I’ll take those two arrows,” said Justin, the other member of the team and a werewolf just like Andrew. With his claws, he managed to shatter both arrows. However, there were three more incoming arrows that he would not manage to intercept.

Luke was already ready to stop them with his telekinesis. It was not a difficult task. However, a voice rang in his mind commanding him to stop. It was the voice of Veronica, who was using mind control.

In the past, Luke would not have been able to defend himself and would have stopped his movements, which, even if it was a couple of seconds was enough for the arrows to hit his

canoe.

But to Veronica’s bad luck, Luke recovered in less than a second. This was thanks to his improved mental defense. He was spending so much time training for a reason.

He deflected the three arrows and sent them at a higher speed towards Sabrina’s canoe. He had to take advantage of the fact that he now possessed sharp objects with which to attack.

‘To help him in his training,’ Veronica thought, grumpily as she noticed that Luke quickly recovered from her mind control. The talent she saw in Luke was great. He could already defend himself from her mind control he wasn’t someone normal.

Sabrina tried to burn the arrows with fireballs, but Luke changed their trajectory and made them dodge them heading back to their target.

‘Why is she acting so weak?’ Luke thought doubtfully.

Just when he thought his arrows would hit Enid’s canoe and sink it. One of the older students stood up and made a motion with her hands.

She created telekinetic waves to deflect the trajectory of the arrows. Causing them to hit the river and sink. Her control was precise and fast.

‘A telekinetic,’ Luke thought with a grimace. He managed to watch as the telekinetic waves

were manipulated.

The race to Raven Island continued. It was very fierce, and any miss could end up causing your canoe, to sink and you ended up with moderate to severe injuries.

Luke thought this race was much more brutal compared to the Wednesday series. The students would use every method necessary to attack you, sink your canoe, and get first place.

Thanks to Luke’s telekinesis and the strength of Andrew and the other werewolf they made it to Raven Island in first place.

“Luke and I will look for the flag. You guys take care of the boat,” Andrew said as his canoe docked at a jetty on the island.

The other two nodded, and Luke along with Andrew started running towards the center of the

island.

Although Justin (the other werewolf) would have greater speed thanks to his superhuman werewolf strength, Luke possessed telekinesis. A more useful ability for the battle that would

break out on Raven Island.

Yes, battle. Luke couldn’t believe it when he heard it from Larissa’s mouth. The other participants could attack the others as long as there was no danger to life.

The other two would guard the canoe, as the others could attack it, and when they arrived it

would be sunk.

After Luke’s team arrived, Veronica’s team arrived. Veronica and Daphne went down without

wasting any time.

Thirdly, Tommy’s team arrived and jumped before reaching the pier and launched at high speed. He would not lose and in the process teach Andrew and that arrogant kid Poe a lesson.

In last place, but not that far behind third, came Sabrina’s team. Enid and Sabrina were the ones who went down and started heading towards the center of the island in search of the flag. As Sabrina stepped ashore an invisible barrier covered the entire Raven Island. The barrier was not even visible. The members of the waiting canoes did not notice it.

‘Now the real game begins,’ thought Sabrina with a smile behind her mask.
