What The Luck!?

Chapter 267 - 267. Shifting Tag

Jane had attempted to activate her shift ability without an outside adrenaline source but had failed to do so. She still required more control over her super power as a whole. However, the adrenaline tablets that had been suggested to her were easy to find and affordable.

Jane had also bought some basic recovery protein powders to pair with the tablets to make her recovery easier. "Alright, I'm ready. Let's get to it." Her eyes grew cold as she began to feel the adrenaline coursing through her.

The shift to her full super power was still amazing to her friends. The changes were intimidating but to Asher, they were beautiful and powerful. 

Jane's scales had been something she had hated at first but the more she trained the more she found they were all too useful. In certain places she would normally have scraped herself or cut herself she found the scales easily defended. Furthermore, when she shifted they became tougher so even if her opponent was stronger than her she wouldn't easily get harmed. 

"Ah! Why me first!" Art ducked as a kick came towards his head. The game of tag was not going to be so simple. 

"Your punches are harder with those stupid weighted gloves!" Jane was very much in control of herself but her logic was sound. She knew that Art could pack a heavier punch with the weighted gloves by controlling the metal inside them. 

"Ha! Did you see Art's face? He looked like he was going to cry." Laura was enjoying the sudden attempt to tag Artby Jane but this wasn't the best plan.

Jane turned in a heel and with a burst of speed was headed toward Laura. She heard her words and refused to go without tagging Laura now. She was still a little controlled by her own emotions in this state but that's one reason they were training this way.

"I told you I was too fast for you." Laura stuck her tongue out as she backed away effortlessly from Jane. Yet, Jane just smiled because Laura wasn't even paying attention to where she was going.

"Hey! Watch it!" Jackson was right behind her trying to stay away from Jane as well. Laura hadn't been paying attention and bumped right in to him causing both of them to stop.

"Two for the price of one!" Jane pushed off the ground and was in front of the two in the blink of an eye. Her outstretched hands badly brushed Laura and ended up in a full tackle against Jackson. 

Jackson had learned a few things from his friends and the app, one that he believed to be very useful was, how to fall. Jackson rolled back and Jane's momentum, she fell forward full of surprise.

Jackson rolled on his back letting Jane fly forward on her own in to her own forward roll. Jackson still lacked the fineness to get right back up but Kane had practiced longer. "Nice job Jackson, that's a great improvement. Next time I'm sure you'll be on your feet at the end." 

Jane had to praise Jackson since he had zero combat ability before he had begun to train with the group. Jackson just looked at her in amazement, he wasn't sure how she had so easily landed on her feet at the end of all this.

Jane's eyes landed on Asher next, "this isn't the time to be practicing your straight punches!" Asher had been in his stance throwing straight punches over and over to get the feeling in to perfect muscle memory.

On the other hand, Jane had swiped at Asher with her long sharp nails because she believed Asher was one of the only ones that could safely end up dodging them. Asher suddenly smiled and arched his back. He bent over in to a perfect back bend without any flaw or resistance before jerking his arm to the side to end up facing the ground. He easily pushed up and retreated from Jane. 

"I could also have been baiting you so that I could test that new dodge I added to my style." Asher was full of arrogance at this moment since he had practiced this while stretching too. It was a flashy move but was easy to pull off on a short notice. On top of this, he also knew that not many people would expect a boy to be able to bend so easily in this way, stretching was paying off. 

This action pushed Jane a little too much and She sprinted at Asher who had expected this. He had intentionally looked to annoy her so that she too could work on her control of emotions while in her shifted state. 

Jane easily reached Asher who was resting in his stance and slashed out over and over with her nails until she suddenly kicked upwards in to the preparation for a high kick. She had worked on chaining her moves together and found that there was an upwards toe kick that let her end in the proper preparation for a high kick. It was enough to cause Asher to stop trying to dodge and fully retreated while Jane kicked downwards. 

"That was awesome! I want you to teach me that kick!" Sammy broke her silence and attracted Janes' attention. Unfortunately, this also meant that Jane was now after Sammy who grew a little pale with her mistake. 

Feeling the pressure of Janes' approach Sammy tried her best to use her wind to get away. There was a slight burst of wind in the gym giving everyone a plenty of breeze to cool them off and also pushing Sammy forward more. She was unable to fly but knew that she could slow someone's fall with wind. She applied this logic to speeding herself up. 

Jane found that Sammy was much faster than she had been before and pushed herself more. The unexpected challenge made Jane take Sammy much more seriously. The interaction between the two was mostly Sammy trying to evade Jane which was where her strengths appeared to be. Her wind allowed her to make her speed more flexible and also change angles in a more fluid and dramatic way than most others. 

Jane was easily impressed and had to get a little more serious, however, when Sammy realized that Jane was about to push forward and catch her she changed direction wish a devilish smirk. She aimed herself at Louis who was standing near Cara sharing some details about his super powers so he could get guidance from someone else with an unintentionally destructive super power. 

The two were keeping an eye on the game of tag while holding a standing squat to maintain a work out and proper stance strengthening. Their conversation ended abruptly as Sammy ran past Louis, "Good luck with this." Sammy was off in the opposite direction while Jane was headed right for him. When he looked to where Cara had just been he found that she had also started moving away. He had been ditched!. 

Jane had expected Louis to try and run from here, yet when he powered his level she found he had chosen to fight instead. This caught her off her guard and he easily managed to grab both her legs in a tackle. The only problem was that Louis had not done enough training to handle the power Jane had and he ended up toppling backwards instead. 

"You can have that one. I didn't expect it." Jane left Louis on the ground a little stunned. However, it was a surprise to everyone since they had mostly been running and not thinking on the spot. The only other person that Jane would expect something like this from was Cara who was constantly adjusting her position so that she was always the least convenient person to try and tag. 

"This is boring, I'm going to be it too." Cara stopped and said this like it was a simple change to the game for the last ten minutes. The only problem was that they all knew she was much more of a challenge than Jane would be. 

"Perfect, this is what we trained together for." Jane and Cara had trained together and gotten some teamwork skills together. Now they could put their work together and defeat everyone in an instant. 

Jackson was the closest to Cara and didn't even have a chance to move before she had jumped in to him. She wrapped a leg around his arm and twisted her body in to a throw. She knew she needed the momentum to make the attack work and perfectly executed it. Jackson hit the ground with a massive thud. While Jackson tried to understand what happened Cara released him and started to go after Art who was being chased by Jane. 

The two came at either side of him causing Art to panic a little. He had not been cornered in such a way and was now at a complete loss for what to do. In just a second he was tripped by Cara and pushed by Jane leaving him also on his back in defeat like Jackson.
