What The Luck!?

Chapter 183 - 183. The New Threads

"So next time you two play, I would say you should avoid the balls fired at you on level five." Jim was a little sarcastic as he watched the two get up. "Otherwise, not bad. You should tell others to come and give it a try. There are four corners in the building." 

"Should we drag Art here to try this out too?" Asher immediately thought of Art and the fun it would be to send him to the same grave as them. 

"He is one of our rivals, but we can't forget our other friends as well." Jane looked equally as evil at the moment. 

"I thought you two wanted to be heroes?" Jim mumbled as he wandered back towards the entrance.

"We will need to come back tomorrow to see the rest. It's getting late." Asher observed that the sun was close to setting.

"Oh! We almost lost track of time and didn't prepare for whatever the night training it." Jane was surprised that they had been in the storage cabin for so long.

"Night training? That should be fun. Then grab some flashlights or those night vision sunglasses. They are modified for a smaller size and easy carrying. They also adjust for daytime and nighttime." Jim pointed out a section with night survival gear.

"Those are awesome. How do they work?" Jim looked at Asher for a moment.

"No idea! Hahaha, that's too sciency for me." Asher deflated a little but wasn't too unhappy. He didn't expect Jim to have all the answers. 

"Why is this thing here?" Jane held up a small square cube. 

"Micro flash bomb. It's used for night time raids. You throw it and when it hits the ground it bursts in a flash that blinds those that look at it. Feel free to take a package of twenty." Jim looked more excited explaining this that the two could understand. 

"Each or overall?" Asher had a feeling that the reason Jim was excited was that these would be useful for them tonight. 

"Each of course! Do you think you both will be together the whole-…sneaky sneaky. Trying to get me to tell you about the training." Jim wagged a finger at them.

Asher's eyes widened as he realizes that the two were going to be split up for night training. He nodded at Jim who could only smile. Jane understood this too and grabbed all the items Jim had recommended. 

"I'm very glad to meet you, Jim! Thank you for your help. We will see you tomorrow after we go to the sparring field and obstacle course." Jane and Asher said their farewells and walked out towards the dining cabin. 

"Get food, nap under a tree, then wait to find out about night training." Asher planned out the rest of their day out loud. 

"Sounds good to me. I am checking out the elite home gym app and it is telling me that I need to eat certain things to recover from my fight. Do you think Garnet changed it for me?' Jane was a little confused but the thought of someone caring so much about them made her pretty happy. 

"I am pretty amazed at how much effort they put in. This really explains why it is considered one of the best camps in the country. I bet if we stayed here more than a week we would become super hero powerhouses in a month." Asher laughed this off as they entered the dining cabin.

"Bro, over here!" Arty had the same idea to eat before heading off to rest. He was already seated at a table with Laura and Sammy. "What did you two manage to get up to in the last few hours?" His eye brows wiggled a little at Asher promoting Asher to punch Art in the arm.

"We checked out the storage cabin and met a former hero. Just the usual stuff." Asher's casual attitude made Jane giggle since she knew he was using it to mess with Art. 

"I knew there wouldn't be too...former hero you say?" Art had stopped mid sentence and realized that Asher had actually said something pretty cool.

"His name is Jim and he works here as his retirement job. He has the coolest stuff in storage. Most of it is for classes and training but there are even a few work out machines. You should come tomorrow to grab some things. Asher already borrowed a weighted shirt that's, wait, how heavy is it?" Jane had forgotten the weight of the shirt that Asher had added to his body.

"I took the fifty pound one. If I grabbed the seventy five I thought it would be too much. I still don't know what is going on with the night training and don't want to overdo it." He acted like he was a fashion model showing off the newest sporing fashion. 

"That's pretty awesome man, how is it so thin?" Art was already decided that he would get his own and even see about the other weighted objects he could borrow.

"Jim said that it was some special condensed fabric made for those with zero gravity powers. The camp has it because they were able to use it before the producers made it in to a training item. But this isn't the coolest thing they have." Jane and Asher regaled them of the experiences in the storage cabin. The three were jealous that they had not gone with and instead had to climb and attach ropes. 

"Well, we all got points today at least." Sammy was still trying to stretch her sore arms. "I think I am going to be sore for my entire life." 

"Make sure you grab some of the fruit salad then. There is some over there and it is perfect for recovering the nutrients you need to repair the muscles. Also, there are fresh roasted peanuts too. Great for protein." Laura chimed in sharing her myriad of health knowledge. She had been forced to learn this stuff pretty fast due to her super power and had no problem sharing it with friends.
