What The Luck!?

The night passed in this manner with everyone switching their training and resting schedule every few hours. This was the best way for them all to make rapid improvements. The elite home gym system app even set them up with the best possible recovery diets so they can continue to be at peak form and avoid any long term muscle soreness.

"This thing even has the weight of the protein I need for every meal." Art was looking through his phone and couldn't imagine how it was so specific.

"Did you not notice that there was a tracker in the bottom corner of the screen during your work out sessions? It counted the calories you burned, the percentage of muscle soreness, and even the oxygen levels you had in your body. If you scroll all the way down to the suggestions you can see it there too." Jane had already mastered the app.

"Whatttt? It says that my breathing is unsteady during my weight training making it less effective?' Art was floored by how specific it was.

"Dude, I told you it was S class. We should look for the golden egg again while we are doing our point building today. I can let you guys try the mode I used the first day." Asher flashed a vicious smile making Jane and Art flinch. They had no idea what he was talking about, but the look on his face told them it would not be a good time.

"Well, I am going to go scan this at the vending machine and get myself food. I am more hungry than I have ever been." Art Made a tactical escape before Asher could convince him of anything potentially dangerous. Jane was quick to follow leaving Asher to rush to catch up.

Good morning you three!" Sammy was the first to call out to them as they grabbed their food. Laura and Jackson were already seated at the table with Louis and eating.

"Hey, is Louis alive?' Asher was worried that Louis was about to fall in to the oatmeal he was supposedly eating.

"Oh, he's fine. He was just up most of the night. But check this out." Sammy poked both of his sides and Louis jumped up.

"What the heck are you all about today? That's the third time you've done that.' Louis was ready to chase Sammy out of the dining cabin completely.

"He had used almost all of the lightning in his body. Soooo, he can't zap people right now." Sammy was smiling triumphantly.

"That's great for you Louis. You don't need to be stressed out all day." Jane was much more supportive than Sammy since she held back on the teasing.

"Ohh, so I can do this without risk?" Laura copied Sammy's actions making Louis jump again, but he wasn't reprimanding her as he had with Sammy.

Sammy was giggling in her chair as she sat down to eat too. "So what's the plan today?' Jackson was looking at Asher, it seemed that to the group he had managed to become the unofficial leader.

"Well, I was thinking we look round for the golden egg as we walk to the sparring fields. Once we get there we destroy any challenger. Just remember to use your size to intimidate people. You should take it slow and if you feel like you will lose just back out. But I think you will do better than you think." Asher remembered that Jackson wasn't all about fighting si he wanted to make sure he wasn't pushing too hard.

"I am alright with that. I will point out the wild blackberries as we head that way then. They look just like the poisonous thorn berried. But they thorn berried are only poisonous when eaten, otherwise, they are a great disinfectant for small wounds." Jackson was excited to be able to trade some knowledge as well.

"I feel like I am not really bringing too much to this training yet…" Louis was a little disheartened, but his words made Sammy also show sadness.

"Then just get stronger and challenge us. Once you figure out your powers more you can give us a challenge with a strategy we have never faced. It will make us all better." This would have been great motivational phrasing if Art hadn't said it with a mouthful of cranberry bran cereal.

"Wow, I swear I felt the fire in my heart burn for that one." Jane's sarcasm made the entire table burst out in laughter. It only continued as the milk came out of Art's nose as he laughed even harder.

Once they had all regained their breath and finished eating the group headed out while gathering some looks from the other campers. The three that had been offered up as the targets to beat in camp were walking with a group making their presence that much more intimidating.

"I think we are famous. Look there are even people pointing. Should I go over and offer my signature?" Laura was ready to rush over and offer this before Jackson grabbed her shoulder.

"I promise you, that is not what they want. I can hear them counting how many points they could get by challenging and beating all three of us. But I doubt they are ready. I haven't had anyone try me in trivia yet." Jackson could easily read their lips and make out what the campers had been saying.

"I wonder if I will get challengers today? If I do I want them to be worth the match." Asher was surprisingly energized after following the all night training and resting schedule. His thoughts were completely directed at sparring more today.

"Really? I had plenty of people challenging me. But they didn't even get through the first two sets of obstacles because they were afraid of heights or they fell in the mud." Laura was more disappointed than the others due to this. "At least they have my timed run through so I don't actually have to go there for them to challenge me." She shrugged and looked at the sparring field as it opened up before them.
