Wednesday: The Strongest Psychic

Chapter 63: Council of the Outcasts of America



"As you know to work in the council outcast police, you must have control of your skills and improve your power. So in the next class, we will have training. We will have a direct elimination tournament. The groups you put together will face each other," said Charles.

Many students had glesparkles in their eyes. Working on the outcast council was the dream of many. They were especially working on the outcast police force. Where the real action was. Not in the bureaucratic part of the council.

'The council...' Luke thought.

The Outcast Council of America is an institution, made up of a coalition of outcasts who advocate for survival and balance between the different outcast groups. It is the force of law and order. Like the government of a normie community, but with very different laws.

The outcast police are under the orders of the council. Most of the outcasts want to work there, as that is where the action is.

For Luke, it's sort of like the Ministry of Magic in Harry Potter with a few differences. For one thing, the council does not seek to keep its existence hidden from the normies. They could do that if they set their minds to it. Luke could erase memories and create new ones for an outcast. With normies doing that is easier.

However, it is not something the outcast society seeks. To normies, their existence is confusing, and most ordinary normies think of vampires, werewolves, and the like as myths. Only the upper echelons of normie society know about their existence.

This is because the outcast population is very low compared to normies, which makes their existence difficult for normies to prove.

The Outcast Police has several specialized departments where an outcast could work. These

are:

Psychic Investigation Department: Formed exclusively by psychics who are dedicated to investigating and containing threats related to mental and emotional manipulation. Monster Control Department: Powerful outcasts are in charge of handling and containing dangerous creatures such as insane hags or strange and dangerous creatures.

Black Magic Department: This department is in charge of tracking and stopping those outcasts who use dark magic to attack innocent outcasts and normies. Dark magic is not forbidden in the outcast society, you become a criminal if you use it to kill innocents. Especially normies, as they would put the outcasts in a complicated situation with the normie government.

The same is mental or emotional manipulation, using it to fight or defend yourself in deathmatches is not a crime. A crime is if you use it to manipulate normies or innocent outcasts.

Outcast Containment Department: In charge of locating and detaining outcasts who abuse their power and pose a threat to other innocent outcasts and normies.

Finally, a department known to a few people: The Demon Extermination Department. As the name suggests the task of this department is to locate demonic activity and to murder without hesitation the culprit of this.

How did Luke know about this department? Because Edgar told him. In his past life, Edgar was the leader of this department. The position with the most power. To enter this department you had to have exceptional skills. Both in combat and in knowledge. Already in itself in any of these departments, it is difficult to enter, but in this one, it is even more so. To enter any of these departments you had to be the best of the best. Since you would be facing in most cases dangerous individuals or monsters with demonic powers. The most dangerous of all is the demon extermination department, as you are up against people with demonic powers. Luke wonders how strong someone who made a deal with a demon will be.

"So you'll have to know your partner to prepare for combat," Charles said. 'Should I join the council in the future?' thought Luke, as the class continued.

With the money he earned as a writer, there was no need for him to work. Neither for the society of outcasts nor for the normal society. But if he wants to restore the Poe family, he will have to unite to build power. Having an important position in the council would be very useful.

Of course, before that, he must survive the Spellmans and show the outcast society that this family has demonic ties. Which will be the family's undoing if Luke manages to expose them.

The bad news is that the Spellmans are sure to have several members of their family on the council and in the outcast police force. This would explain how it is that so far no one knows they made deals with demons.

As much as he didn't want to admit it, Luke was proud to carry the Poe name. He didn't want the ancient family of psychics to die because of him. Which is why he's been considering rebirthing it.

'Besides power and influence I'll need a wife...' Luke thought and for some reason looked sideways on Wednesday.

Edgar had implanted in him very well that he needed to have psychic heirs and if possible two auras. Which would make the Poe Family reborn like a phoenix.

Wednesday had two auras, and he had three. If they have children they would be guaranteed to have two auras. Something super rare in psychic families.

Wednesday again noticed Luke's gaze on her and looked at him. Only this time, she didn't say anything. After a few seconds, they both looked forward again.

'No... What am I thinking? It would be impossible to be boyfriend with this girl,' Luke thought, shaking his head.

From what he knew thanks to the series on Netflix and other Addams family adaptations. Wednesday has a dark, narcissistic, and somewhat psychopathic personality. She tortures her little brother something she claims herself, and displays several sociopathic traits.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

These are the adaptations he saw in his past life. In this world he lives in now, she may be darker and more psychopathic. After all, this world is much darker and more dangerous than he thought, and not everything is the same as in the adaptations.

For example, there were no auras, and Wednesday only had psychic visions. Instead, here she already said she has a black aura. The first change there is in her.

With all these characteristics how would he make her fall in love? Also, he doesn't want to be with a psychopath.

'Although in the series she was interested in a normie who was a Hyde...' Luke thought.

This seemed unreal to him in the series. With Wednesday's personality for her to fall in love with a normie who gave her flowers and made her watch romantic movies seemed unreal.

'The attraction of opposites?' thought Luke. He had become Enid's boyfriend, and the two were very different. He always thought that for a romantic interest, you had to find a person with similar characteristics to your own, but that didn't seem quite right.

"Class dismissed."

Luke looked up and noticed Wednesday standing in front of his desk. The girl was staring at him with her black eyes and the same expression since she stepped onto Nevermore.

"Do you want to talk about the groups?" asked Luke as he noticed Wednesday was still staring at him. Her eyes didn't even seem to blink.

Since they would be fighting other psychics together maybe she wanted to strategize or know Luke's strengths.

"No. I just want to tell you not to look for me to talk about it. I alone am enough to defeat the two psychics. Just don't get in the way," Wednesday said in a tone that held no disdain, no arrogance. She said it naturally. As if it were a given.

"Oh... well," Luke said, not knowing what else to say. Nor would he start an argument that he knew would be pointless with someone like Wednesday. He wouldn't want to waste his

energy.

He also had no interest in the practice battle. Last year, he took on four outcasts who wanted to kill him and came out victorious. Besides, he trained all summer like crazy. He didn't have high expectations of his teammates' combat power.

He thought he could defeat them easily. So it's better to let someone else do the annoying

work.

Wednesday turned and left. Her expression changed slightly, 'It's weird... They usually always get angry. Curious' thought Wednesday with a slight surge of interest towards the individual

named Luke Poe.

As Wednesday left the room, she was intercepted by a blonde, blue-eyed girl. Her hair had blue highlights and pink highlights at the ends.

"Hi, my name is Enid! I'm your roommate. Principal Weems told me to give you a quick tour of Nevermore," the girl said with a smile and a great enthusiasm that seemed to affect Wednesday negatively for some reason.

Wednesday wanted to dodge and get away from Enid as quickly as possible, but Enid wouldn't let such a thing happen. The principal gave her a task, and she would accomplish it. Besides,

she was to make friends with her new roommate.

"I don't need a tour. Stop getting in the way," Wednesday said coldly. "How rude... I won't stop bothering you until the tour is completed," said Enid stubbornly.

Wednesday stared at Enid, "Fine. Be quick," she said after a few seconds.

"Great, follow me!" said Enid with a smile and started to walk.

"Nevermore was founded-"

"I know that. We had history class today," Wednesday interrupted Enid.

"Oh, that's right. I forgot," said Enid with a chuckle, and moving on to the next topic.

"Welcome to the quadrangle courtyard!" said Enid, introducing the central courtyard where

there were many students.

"It's a pentagon," said Wednesday.

'Gothic and sarcastic attitude... Phew... take a breath, Enid. She's a new student,' thought

Enid, taking a deep breath.

"I'll enlighten you on Nevermore's social life," said Enid, starting to walk around the edges

of the Pentagon.

"I don't want to engage in adolescent tribal clichés. Tell me about last year's Poe Cup," said Wednesday. It seemed that this eager student knew about gossip. She should know in more detail about last year's incident.

"W-why do you want to know about that? You should know enough by now," said Enid, pausing. Her enthusiasm and smile disappeared.

For Enid, it was the worst time in her life. She saw a classmate burned to death, she was

almost murdered, and days later, her boyfriend left her. She was traumatized by everything

that happened in so few days.

Remembering those days was the worst for Enid.

"I asked you why I don't know enough," Wednesday said. Nevermore took it upon himself to

try to hide the important details of that incident.

"Which student was it that died? How did she die? What skills did the attackers have?" said

Wednesday, asking several questions and with no change in her expression as she talked about the death of a Nevermore student.

Enid's eyes were widening with indignation. Her lips trembled. She couldn't believe how Wednesday could talk about the death of a fellow student so tactlessly.

"I almost forgot, is it true that Luke Poe killed one of the attackers?" asked Wednesday again. Hearing Luke's name made Enid lose the patience she was having with Wednesday. "Have respect for Sabrina's death! And if you want to know so badly ask Luke Poe! Tour over!" exclaimed Enid angrily, leaving Wednesday alone in the courtyard.

Many turned to see who suddenly shouted. They were surprised that it was the always happy

and enthusiastic Enid.

Wednesday stood still with a blank expression.

'That's the normal attitude. Well, I saved myself from the stupid tour. Maybe I should ask

Luke Poe...' thought Wednesday, as she began to walk calmly towards her new dorm.
