What The Luck!?

Chapter 275 - 275. Accomplished

The three chase each other dodging and ducking while attempting to land a single hit. Asher was the wild card put of the three since he would let himself fall in to any move that he could. It made Art change direction and break his stiff stance more often. Jane on the other hand was forced to think more before she moved which was a challenge since she was in her shifted state. 

Jane was very consumed with her emotions and the high energy of her shifted state. Every time that she found Art and Asher dodging she would become more annoyed but was learning to hold it back. This was great training since she was more exhausted than usual due to this being her second shift of the day. If she hadn't spaced it out she would have certainly passed out or been unable to properly think through her emotions. 

"Art! Stop changing your level!" Jane charged at Art suddenly which completely threw him off. Unfortunately for Jane, Asher chose that moment to use his own attack. He knew that he would be able to eventually catch Jane when she slipped up and fully take her down. 

Asher lashed out with a kick toward her legs. Jane was still too fast and reacted quickly to block. This threw her in to a stumble which Art was going to take advantage himself. However, he was attacked by Asher next. Asher was not discriminating at all since he was in a one against two battle. 

Jane and Art may not have been against each other but they were both still in this battle against Asher too. So when Art went to jump over the stumbling Jane she allowed him to do so. This continued on as they all tried to gain an upper hand in their mess of moves. Eventually, it devolved so much that they weren't even using the moves properly. 

The three had thoroughly exhausted themselves much more than they expected. "Asher, Jane is tired. Time to stop." Cara's voice suddenly rang in Asher's ear and he stopped in place to see that Art was trying to stand up from the ground where he had done a partial roll and Jane had started to shift back to normal through no choice of her own. 

"Jane! You pushed yourself too much." He grabbed a water bottle and one of the protein bars bringing it to her as she sat hard on the ground. 

"No...noo, I'm fine. Just a little tired and need a breather." Jane attempted to talk Asher down but when she stopped to catch her breath she had shown her weakness fully. Asher wasn't going to be letting her back up until she rested more. 

"Bro, my head feels like I haven't slept in a month." Art was feeling the backlash of his super power too. He had been doing his best to control the movement of his hands using the metal in the gloves. It had been successful but the constant changing and manipulation had taken its toll. 

"You both need to sit and just rest. Jane, your body is way past where it should be and you need the vitamin pack to work its' magic. Art, you need to work on mental strength more so that you won't get such devastating headaches after constant super power use. Maybe you can meditate and it will subside." Asher was in full mom mode with his friends. 

Jane didn't argue after hearing the strength Asher put in to the words. It was clear that he would not be taking no for an answer in the least. Art on the other hand just smirked while laying on his back and slowing his breathing while covering his eyes to block the light. 

"You should rest too." Cara was still working on her super power training. She had started to get a break through in her ability to throw her voice and was very happy with the progress. She had mostly been speaking to Jackson so that she could spot Sammy as she fell. 

Cara would watch where Sammy was falling and direct Jackson on where to move and how fast. This was her way of also practicing communication and directions while Jackson was using it as a teamwork training on top of learning his body. 

Jackson had learned that he was able to throw Sammy half way to the ceiling with his full strength. It had taken him almost the entire hour to get to this point and comfortably attempt it. Sammy on the other hand had made her own progress. 

She had been using the bursts of wind every single time to slow her fall and was annoyed that she wasn't able to float in the air. Yet, when she let her annoyance take her she found that she didn't need to consciously slap her hand down to make a burst of air. It was all controlled by her mind and not her body. This lead to her trying to remain unmoved while she manipulated the wind and she found she could consistently generate gusts to change how she fell. 

This was another reason why Cara joined in to help Jackson catch Sammy. Sammy had been changing direction in the air as she fell. After this had gone on for some time Sammy caught on to another aspect of the wind. She had just been pushing it to move in straight lines. She had never made it twist or curve before. 

After that, she found her first success in trying to fly. She forced the wind to twist under her and for just a few seconds before she was too tired managed to float in the air without falling. This would have looked like nothing to someone watching, but to those who knew what Sammy had been practicing and working toward it was a reason to celebrate. 

While everyone trained they had become used to the slight booms and cracks from the lightning that Louis was generating. He and Laura had not stopped moving for the entire hour. Louis was using smaller and smaller amounts of lightning as it was not generated in his body as fast as he used it. 

This worked out to him being able to better control it since he was able to influence smaller amounts better with his will and muscles. The smaller shocks were also harder for Laura to see making it more of a challenge for her to didge them. 

Louis could feel his muscles sore and tormented from the constant twisting and flexing to force the lightning to his will. It was a huge strain on his body but a worthwhile one since it would lead to him better controlling it. He had found that between his hands he was able to arc the lightning from both sending out two zaps. This meant that he was using more muscles and pushing his mental strength further. 

Laura found this the toughest since she was looking for two smaller zaps at once. The lightning bolts left many marks on the ground that she had dodged and she wasn't going to let them touch her. She was getting used to processing the information around her faster and faster as Louis released the lightning more and more. 

She had the body to avoid the attacks but her mind was still too slow in comparison. This irritated her and pushed her to train her focus more and more until she felt herself enter a state of meditation. This was not even noticed by her since she was just doing the same thing over and over. 

But, to someone watching, she looked like a fully focused fighter waiting for the next move. Unknown to her, her subconscious was processing smaller details and allowing her to move better and control her body in optimum ways. This was an accumulation of all the training she had been doing to better understand her body.

The alarm from Cara's phone blared through the gym stopping everyone that was still in motion, "That's it! We are done. Now we can stop and have a snack before we stretch and head home." Cara opened the snacks that Art had prepared and sat down in the middle of the gym. 

"I was really afraid I was going to zap you. But your idea to only unwrap part of my arms was great. I feel like I understand how my body influences the lightning much better." Louis was raving about his breath through just like Sammy was about hers to Jackson. The two were on a small adrenaline high so they didn't notice just how tired they were yet. 

"You guys were all organized, well, Asher, Art, and Jane looked like a chaotic mess. But it was pretty interesting seeing how much it took for you three to fall out of your stances. For people who just began to train a little while ago, you three are top notch." None of them expected the compliment from Cara. It brought them all a second burst of energy while they snacked. Every single one of them had hit a decent accomplishment today and would only go to show they should train like this again.
