What The Luck!?

Chapter 40 - 40. Camp Choice

Meanwhile Asher and Art had just walked in to the nurse's office. The soft voice of the nurse went completely ignored. The nurse came up to them slowly losing her smile after being ignored. "Good morning what are you here for?" Her annoyed tone went unnoticed by the two who still could not hear a word she had said. She grabbed their shoulders ready to chew them out until the smiling faces of the two boys hit her full force.

The two said very loudly in unison, "Good morning, we are having trouble hearing!" The nurse jumped away as if she had just seen the largest bug in the world. The shock of being yelled at in such a way brought her heart to the edge.

'Ugh another deafening incident? That Cara girl really likes to mess with people's hearing' Her inner annoyance only increased since she was constantly fixing the hearing of those who battled Cara in class.

She took the two to a chair and used her own super power to get to work. She was not that amazing when it came to powers but still found a very solid career in life. She only had the healing ability to heal small wounds or injuries and nothing major. But because of this she was a perfect school nurse. She could fix up students with injuries or fevers in a pinch and send them back to their classes.

Her eyes glowed green and she touched the boys ears slightly. They felt a sting of warmth run through the heads and then the sounds of the world rushed back in. "You both should be able to hear just fine now. Next time you two look for a fight don't go after the deafener, I would hate to see some permanent damage." With this she promptly kicked the two out of the office and sent them toward their classroom.

"Bro, your sister definitely hates me now...If only I hadn't been rushing. I'm the unluckiest guy in the world." Art was nearly crying with how his idol would definitely try to kill him if he even spoke to her.

'Really? Now you think she hates you? She literally called you a monkey the first time she saw you…' Ashe was trying to figure out how Art thought but decided that there was a better way to fix things up. "I do have an idea you could use to help your situation.

Art looked at Asher with pleading eyes, he was in full puppy dog mode wanting to find out how to appease the wrathful Cara. "Please I don't want to be made deaf for the rest of my life." His plea was even more pathetic than before.

Seeing this Asher barely withdrew his idea but decided that it was his duty as Art's best friend to try and make things better. "My sister's birthday is this weekend, she turned eighteen and I plan to look for a gift. Want to come with?" The look on Art's face was like he had just been shown the way to salvation.

"Yes! That is a great idea I will find her the best present in the world so that she can find the will to not kill me every time she sees me." He was nearly dancing down the hall with joy. Before the two could even say another word they realized that the bell was about to ring. As much as they wanted to avoid their academics for the day they knew that detention would be much worse.

Setting foot in the classroom right before the bell rang Asher tried his best to stop his momentum. Luckily right before he slammed in to the first desk a hand reached out to grab his shirt by the collar. "Let's not cause any broken bones today Asher. Try not to run in the halls anymore." Mr. Smith had seen the future of him falling in to a pile of desks and decided to change that right there and then.

"Your power really is the best Mr. Smith!" Asher flattered him and gave his most sincere thank yous. 'He said broken bones...I could have been back at the nurses office before the day even started.' This new fear brought Asher a whole new wave of terror. He really was lucky that Mr. Smith had stopped him.

With the bell having rung and the rest of the class ignoring the scene unfolding at the door Mr. Smith started his lecture on geometry. The entire class felt the wave of tiredness come over them since they knew that there was no way they would be able to remain awake through the entire lesson. It was time to suffer through academics.

Much later with a slightly melted brain the three of them were eagerly awaiting what class they would be having today. "No for your class we were supposed to have a study hall. But since the break is coming up next week we will talk about the camps you have the ability to choose from. This year there are the same three as always but we will now require your parents signatures on a waiver. This is a minor update from last year since there will be an i creased number of students from other high schools attending at the same time." Mr. Smith wrote the three camp choices on the board to remind the students what they would be able to choose from. He left details underneath and also set up three different stacks of forms, one for each camp.

"Now feel free to ask any questions you have so that I can answer to the best of my ability. You may also talk amongst yourselves to work out what you want to do. You will have the entire weekend to bring back the forms filled out so be sure to get it signed!" With this the classroom burst in to talking since everyone wanted to try and go to one with familiar faces.

"I already know I will go to camp jewel with Asher. There is no better choice but that. We will come back with the best training and stand on top of the school." Art was having fantasies of a completely changed body from training and mastery over his super power in just the week long break.

"I think I will have to choose camp jewel since the principal gave me the recommendation for an extra three days. Plus if I don't take it Cara is going to get on my vase about falling even further behind." Asher couldn't think of anything worse than being farther behind his sister in ranking. She had already accomplished so much in comparison to him.

"Well you could go to camp jack and learn to do a whole bunch of trades and jobs. They could give you a very open mind when it comes to hero work. Heroes don't only resume people and fight villains. They do the little things too like help fix damaged homes for the elderly and volunteer at food shelters." Jane heard the mistake the second she said it.

"I should definitely learn more recipes so i can bring my master chef level cooking skills to those in need." Jane flinched at this knowing she may have just doomed many people to a fate worse than death in food poisoning.

"Well Asher you need to think this through. You have way too much to learn before you rush off to help those people. Let's take it slow." Art had heard the same thing and instantly jumped to rescue those future [people in need. 'Nice job Art.' Jane gave him a secretive thumbs up after he spoke.

"That's a good point. I kind of considered Camp Darwin though. It would be good to learn more about sciences since there will be a bunch of things I could do in other fields as a hero. Like what if there is a factory explosion and I need to know about chemicals to properly treat someone's injury." This specific situation was a lot less rare nowadays than anyone would think. Due to the technological advance many experiments caused these situations.

"I did consider that too, but mostly because that camp could really help me understand how my power works. But if I go there I will miss out on training that could prepare me for when I can't use my super powers." Art had really thought of the long run here. The training he received would greatly out weight the purely power based training he could get at the camp Darwin.

"At the end of the day I would like to go to camp jack, but that would only be for making my gear and sewing. I will choose camp jewel too so that i can keep up with you two." Jane turned her head slightly trying to show that she was smiling happily at the two through her mask.

"Well it's settled we three will be competing at camp jewel to see who can beat the others to the most improvement in a week." The three did a triple fist bump to lock the challenge in place.
