What The Luck!?

Chapter 217 - 217. Taking The Space

Asher ducked and jumped over the last wires to find that he was standing at the very end of the wire filled hallways. He had successfully made it out without being zapped and could only thank the hours of training he had done. Jane was also showing her strength and experience in training by already being halfway through the moving wire section. 

Unfortunately, Art was not having the same kind of experience. "Stupid Wires, Ah! Again, really!?" Art had been zapped for the tenth time and was only at the second section. He was moving as fast as he could but he didn't have the same flexibility as Asher and Jane. 

"Stop crying about it and hurry up. I am going to pass-Ah!" Laura was trying to tease Art and push him forward faster when her leg grazed a wire and gained a nice zap. She had eaten her own words and proved why this was the hardest obstacle for her. She was trying to move too fast and was not able to properly adjust her body. 

Leaving the two to their own struggles Jane reached the end and left with Asher. On the other side was the path to the next obstacle but they had decided that they would head to the training field. "Do you think we will have a lot of challenges?" Jane wasn't sure how well the taunting from earlier would last. 

"Oh yeah, They should be fuming mad since we got so far ahead of them in the course. They will want to take revenge somehow since they couldn't beat us here." Asher's theory was sound and made Jane a lot more excited. 

"Then I will get to come after you faster." She had the desire to spar against Asher since she hadn't been able to yet. She had a feeling that she had gotten farther away from him and needed to catch up. 

"You think you could take me?" Asher did a short boxers bounce like the martial artist club members had been doing the previous day. He thought it looked cool. 

"If that is the stance you take then I will have it easy." Jane kicked out slowly to make Asher jump back. He quickly fell in to a stance and stepped forward catching her leg. 

"Not sure if my stance matters at all." His movement had been smooth and Jane couldn't contain her shock. Her mouth formed a small O shape while she struggled to find her response. 

"Well aren't you two getting close." Laura walked out of the obstacle behind Art and couldn't let the chance to tease them get away from her. 

Asher hurriedly let go of Jane and she stepped back redder than a tomato. "We were training while we waited. You two just took your sweet time." She turned her head trying not to look at them while she calmed her heart. 

"Laura, are you coming to the sparring field with us? We are going to rack up some points on some jealous campers." Asher pretended nothing had happened and forced the conversation to change. 

"What? Why do you have to leave? There are more obstacles left." Laura was visibly sad that they were trying to head out. 

'We need to get more training in. We have those vitamins you ate for ourselves and plan to make today a packed training day. Then we will eat them to recover. It is a good test of their effectiveness and also of how far we can push ourselves." Jane snapped back to reality and answered flawlessly. 

"You should come. You could use some more training in martial arts if you are staying by our side." Art said it in a way that made Laura feel like she had fallen behind. This made her annoyed and determined all at the same time. 

'Fine, then we will go to the field and I will start to show off there. What do I need to do to learn to punch stuff right?" Laura was so determined that she grabbed Jane's arm and had her help her with the training apps on her phone. 

"While they do that we have more math to do," Asher said this much to Art's dismay but gave in. He knew that he needed to study too but was at least glad that Asher was going to be studying with him. 

The walk to the sparring field was longer than they had hoped due to their studying. Time had felt like it was moving slower than molasses. Art had begun to lose his sanity as the number swam through his mind but when he saw the hustle and bustle of the training field it was washed away. "We have a ton of people here to take on. Let's go take up our spot." 

Asher refused to be left behind and ran in to the sparring field as well. Many campers locked on to them recognizing one of their targets for sparring. As far as they were concerned Asher was a massive amount of points just waiting to be taken to the bank. 

Art found that there was a match going on in the spot that they had claimed earlier and watched while waiting to take over. Those also watching saw their arrival and began to murmur. 

The moment that the campers sparring finished Ashjer walked up, "Would you mind if we took this area to spar for a while? If you need the space you are welcome to join the rotation/" Asher did his best to be polite to the camper that had just won and was instead met with a shaking head. 

"Just take it, I will work my way up to challenge you.' The girl walked away and started stretching in a space away from others. Asher could only guess that she had been tired out and needed rest. 

"Asher, did you just scare her away?" Jane was afraid that Asher had started to throw his weight around until she saw him shake his head. 

"Nope, she said she couldn't challenge me yet and that we could have the space. That being said, "Asher raised his voice, "Come on and take on the rotation. I'm waiting for a real match!"
