Chapter 137 - 137. Overheard
As the four walked to the dining cabin Jane finally had enough of waiting. She still wanted to know everything possible about Asher's rag doll style. "So tell us, when did you realize that you had your own fighting style figured out?"
'Is she angry that I didn't tell her earlier?' Asher thought that he was getting in to trouble with his friends because they didn't have their fighting styles ironed out yet. However, it was the same for him since he also didn't have everything organized.
"Garnet said I was like an opponent she once had. They used something like flowing water style or whatever it was called. But she said that when I move my body goes with the flow of things like they do, It's similar but not totally, I fall in to things and whip with the flow, hence rag doll style." Asher stopped there but then added, "Ever since I got my super power I slip a lot or other people do. But when I slip I end up in a better situation so the style more or less made itself."
"Wait, so you are admitting that you are the reason I learned how to do a split!" Art connected these dots and was instantly pushed to anger. He had felt that pain for days after he had accidentally done a split twice in one day.
"You don't know that for sure. You could just be a mess on a daily basis." Jane savagely swooped to Asher's rescue earning a stare full of daggers from Art.
"Now, I might just be inexperienced. But isn't being more flexible better for martial arts better?" Jackson had remembered hearing this once upon a time when passing someone from the martial arts club at school.
"I guess it did help with my kicks…" Art lost a lot of his steam and was left with a fruitless argument.
Jane and Asher couldn't help but try to hold back their laughter since they had witnessed Jackson's statement co completely take it out of Art.
"That kid with the lightning was insane. He touched the water and it boiled in a second."
"What about that girl who fell off the cliff but straight up floated down like a feather? People are crazy this year."
They heard the passing campers talking about two familiar sounding people. "That must be Louis and Sammy!" Jane spoke up recognizing their super powers in a second.
"That means they went to the obstacle course and the cliff today. They must be racking up the points to stay in a cabin or get their stuff back." Art could only make these theories based on what most campers were after.
"Are the two people you're talking about in class one too?" The three realized that Jackosn must be completely lost to what they were talking about here.
"Yes, they are cousins that grew up together. One has a wind based power and the other a lightning based power. They seem to have made a big impression today." Jane filled Jackson in a little.
"If we find them soon they can tell us what happened. But it sounds like they are already really busy, so we might have to wait to catch up with them. I know Louis wanted to come here to train and get control of his body. Kind of like you Jackson, but he has lightning to worry about instead of strength." Asher wanted to head to these places and catch up but realized he would end up wasting much more time and accomplishing nothing. Not to mention he had plenty of time left in camp.
"Well, we can eat first. They might come to eat too." Art walked in to the dining cabin first only to turn around and look at the others, "I guess I called it."
Asher and Jane came up next to him to find that Louis and Sammy were occupying a table in the back of the hall away from the other present campers. They were in the middle of eating so the four grabbed their own food and went to join Sammy and Louis. "We are going to take this table over for now. You two can just go jump off a cliff or boil some water." Asher joked about what he had just heard.
Sammy stood up ready to yell at the person coming over to start a fight until she realized it was Asher that had spoken. "You guys finally found us! We have been looking all over the place and have not seen any of you. Where di you go to look for that stupid golden egg?"
"We found it on top of the entrance sign. None was looking in the area so that's where we went." Jane said this like it was nothing.
"You found it!? We have still been looking." Louis had his turn to get worked up. He had fallen in to the water at the obstacle course while searching and trying to get points.
"Yup, we are pretty awesome I know." Art felt his ego climb as their two friends were amazed by their find.
"Pshh, says the guy with wrapped hands and an ankle. How did you already hurt yourself so quickly? Walk in to a wall or something?' Sammy responded with an instant teasing insult. She wouldn't have Art getting too much of a big head.
"Wait, Sammy, can you fly now? The people that we overheard talking about you said you fell from the cliff and floated down. But was that you starting to fly?" Sammy turned red seeing that Jane was so excited to hear about her super power.
"Oh yeah, she is making a lot of progress lately. I saw her trying to jump off her back deck the other day. Then she tried to jump off the table on the deck. And then she tried the roo-" Sammy clasped her hand over Louis's mouth.
"My favorite cousin, there's no need to share my methods. Especially when you are so drained after falling in to that cold water." Everyone around shivered at Sammy's cold words. They could feel the icy killing intent in them.
