What The Luck!?

Chapter 255 - 255. Communication

"So we can take this class all years in a row and get perfect grades? " Jane was already seeing the plan form. If all of their group was to take this class and work together to learn tools, building, and other engineering skills they would be much more technically sound when they became a real hero group. 

"We could all learn how to use those communicators with head sets you were talking about Asher." Art saw the connection with this class to the communication problem the group would face when they were too far away. 

"Ooo, There are actually tons of things like that around here. I think there is a whole box of things…" Laura rushed off out of the tool cage to retrieve the communication devices she had seen before. 

"Well, that would be convenient. We could make them all to our standards. It would put us a step above the rest to get them perfect in the next few months." Asher found himself pleasantly surprised. However, he was starting to think more and more. 

"What if we modified our own phones too? I am sure there are plenty of students here that would want to develop something like that. And what about the gear we have? You guys still haven't fully equipped it all. I know you are waiting on yours, Art, since you need to be stronger to carry it all." 

"This class was made for us!" Art found Ashers' proposition to be ideal. If they could do this then he would have exactly what he needed. "Since I know my super power better now I should try and modify the gear I had made by hero corp with the free voucher." He was already making a mental list of what he might want and how he might do it. 

"I could have some changes made too. Especially with what I bought to replace my mask." Jane was fidgeting now that she had become much more excited. "I bet I could get something that would even change with me when I use my shift. I know that my work out clothes get way too tight when I do." 

Asher heard this from Jane and turned beet red. He couldn't help himself but think unsavory thoughts. He had not actually looked at her that way when she shifted but now that the alluring phrase had been said he was thinking it more than he should. 

"Would you change yours? Or do you not need to?" Jane interrupted his thoughts which was a small blessing for Asher who felt his brain was about to melt down. 

"I think I just need to make my geat tougher. The gloves are tough and worked well but Asher knew that he would come up against tougher enemies in the future. This meant that he would need higher grade gear. "If we work on it now we can have it all ready for the Ricktor tournament. We just need to focus on our gear first then we will work on things for the group." 

Asher had laid the plan out now. Jane and Art immediately jumped on board with it since they had the feeling that they would need to work fairly hard to take the top spots. Having the best gear possible was just a small step to put them ahead. 

"Alright, here is what they have." Laura popped back up holding a box labeled 'for anyone who wants. "These are just laying around collecting dust from last year. But I think they are better than anything else around." Laura had explored the many things left for any student who wanted them. The number of items like this were very high since most were experiments or things students lost interest in after completing. 

"This one is like the size of a blueberry. Are you sure it is a communication device?" Art was skeptical seeing the larger ones compared to a clear plastic charging block with multiple blue berry sized ear buds in them and no visible microphone to pick up their voices. 

"You doubt the coolness of the modern technology class." Laura pulled one out and squeezed it making a small light blink. Then she put one in her ear and another she handed to Art who copied her motions. "The bottom instructions say that we need to tap it once we are set in our ears and it will work as a mid range communication. If we want long range we need to connect a cellular device."

Laura had read the bottom and found instructions. All in all it was way better than it seemed than anything she had ever seen. Art tapped the little earbud and heard a second set of voices in real time. "Wait, so this is…." He said this and heard his own voice amplified. Laura ran outside the room and started to speak. He could hear her every word and even some other students speaking around her crystal clear. 

"This is perfect. I can hear everything without any issue. Why aren't these invested in and sold?" Art couldn't figure out how something so great wasn't on the market. 

Laura popped back in to the room and removed her earbud. "There are so many things made here that things like this sometimes go overlooked. I bet someone made it and decided they could make a better version. Now this one is here and we can take it if we want." 

"I feel like we are reaping the rewards without any work…" Jane was feeling slightly bad for taking something like this for free. 

"If that is what it is here for then it is fine. But we should make sure we help out the other students too. Especially if we are going to work on our gear." Asher didn't want to feel like he was accepting something for nothing. If he could repay the class for a while it would be better in the long run. He was sure he could use his luck to help a few students make great breakthroughs. 

"Then we will help everyone who help us and more." Art had seen the benefits of the class and was ready to invest fully in the class. 

"I can do that. I bet I can help out a ton of them with their math. I am pretty good you know." Jane knew she had good grades in math. Of course it wouldn't always be the key point when it came to those who were better at math than here, but like the guy with the frost thrower, Jane knew there were people looking for math assistance. 

"Oh, you guys can always help others test their invention. I have been doing that a lot. I am fast enough to get away from any mishaps." This explained to them why Laura was so popular. In a class like this it was all too clear that there would be student that needed help experiments and testing. 

"If I test things I bet I could do the same. I was literally made for this." Asher saw his calling in this class. With his super power he would have the best odds of a students' invention succeeding or him keeping others from being hurt by a failure. 

"Wait! You can't take all the glory here." Art was refusing to let Asher take all the help when he needed the assistance with his gear too. If he let Asher run ahead then he would be left in the dust. 

"If I get to them first you will just have to deal with it. But we should do that tomorrow. There is still way more to see." Now any trace of Asher's sour mood had disappeared, He had been guided to two great things and ways to get stronger. 

"Then let's go to the shelves. There are parts, past experiments and inventions, and plenty of things to learn about since a lot are new pieces of technology." Laura was ready to move on for the time being since she knew that they would have plenty more time to learn about new tools. She was actually very happy to be a little ahead for once since she had felt behind learning some of the martial arts moves. 

"The parts are from other inventions or provided by the school?" Jane was curious about where they came from and what the rules were for them.

"They are provided by the school, students, broken inventions, pretty much anything. Anyone can use them if you find it and if you want you can take them too. This class is hugely funded since the school has fostered some major inventions and students that went on to become great inventors in hero corp." Laura explained this and brought another realization. 

"That makes a lot of sense. If the school receives funding for it through the students and hero corp it would mean that there is more freedom. The more freedom the better the inventions." Art was saying his thoughts out loud, but realistically he was also relating it to his parents' jobs and how they had freedom to work on the things they desired as long as they showed results.
