BXBX NOVEL Chapter 197 - 197. Close Call
Asher and Jane heard the massive clatter of metal and wood. The larger thud that hit the ground though, was the one that worried them. \'Did I go too far and hurt Art!?\' Asher fears this thought and rushed through the door.
He nearly kicked the door open and narrowly managed to take a step through the cabin. All around him were metal bits in various shapes and sizes. Art had been the cause without realizing it and now rested in the center of the mess.
"Art!" Asher ignored the metal everywhere and shook Art who was unconscious on the ground. "Art! What happened!?" He was nearly panicking thinking that he had caused his best friend to get hurt.
"Asher! Stop!" Jane grabbed Asher\'s hands and held them still. "He is just asleep. Look at his breathing. He is fine." Her words were clear and strong immediately setting a calming standard for Asher\'s unstable emotions.
"But, I hit him and now he\'s…" Asher was still struggling with his own chaotic emotions. He was worried he had majorly harmed Art. Jane slowly talked him down while Art slept peacefully on the ground.
"Now, come grab an arm and help get him in to the bed. I have a feeling that he passed out from using his super power too much." Jane knew that the same could have happened to her just the other day after shifting in to her full super power form.
"Are you sure he will be fine?" Asher had already asked this about ten times and had begun to get on Jane\'s nerves.
"Yes, and if you ask again just remember this moment." Jane and Asher got Art on to the bed and looked at the room before them. It was a complete mess. "Let\'s get this cleaned up and do some more training. I want to go to the school store or the dining cabin and get some of the adrenaline protien shakes to try." Jane was still focused on her own super power development now that she had already confirmed that Art was fine.
While the two cleaned up Asher decided to finally drop the worry and push on to what he shoulc be training, "I think I am going to try and make my luck work for me today. I acted weird yesterday when I saw people as enemies for the night training so I think I can use that." Asher had this theory earlier and was trying to think of ways he could prove or disprove it.
Jane stopped for a moment and remembered that they had thought about going to the obstacle course today. "How about we provoke some challengers on our way to the obstacle course today? Laura should be happy to have them too."
"Then should be easy. All we need to do is find the golden egg again and show it off. They all already know that we have found it multiple days in a row. Finding it again could gte a lot of angry people to try and beat us." Asher said this after seeing the result at the sparring field. If it worked there it could easily work for the obstacle course.
The two had their daily plan solidified and after they finished gathering the assorted metal bits in to a pile in the corner of the room decided to take a walk to find the golden egg and some adrenaline protein shakes. Their first stop was the dining cabin.
They had been training for a few hours but the sun was still not rising. However, this was not a problem for them since the camp was well lit. The camp didn\'t have any set hours for sleeping but most of the staff would shut down certain areas so they could rest. It was a good way for the campers to learn how to set their own standards for rest. There was also the fact that some campers had super powers that wouldn\'t allow them to sleep.
"Think the egg will be hidden the same way that Jin did it? Or just somewhere random?" Asher was wondering where he should be looking. The fact that he was just idly glancing around the ground as they walked felt pretty half hearted of a search.
"With your luck, we just need to go with the flow. I think I have learned that it is the best way to do it. Whenever you try something you are successful, but when I see you just go for something on a whim you always end up better off." Jane had already made these connections by observing Asher.
"Hey, I just had a random thought. You know how you can shift in to a stronger full version of your power and the state you are in now is a weaker version?" Jane nodded her head with the feeling she knew where Asher was going with this. "What if you tried the reveres and calmed yourself completely? Do you think you could revert it all the way back to plain old Jane before your super power?"
"You think I was plain?" Jane said this as an icy chill ran down his spine.
"No no, you misunderstood. I was saying that in relation to how you were normally. Even your normal appearance was ten times more beautiful than any woman around you. I just tried to be nice to the thought of them when I spoke. It was my poor word choice." Asher quickly threw out compliments and admitted his failure.
Hearing that Asher thought she was ten times more beautiful than others made Jane blush a little more than usual. "Well, then I guess it is fine for now." She looked away and tried to hide her face since she knew he could now see it. "But I don\'t think I could ever have such perfect control of my emotions and mental state. It could take years."
"Well, we have years. All of us can take the time we need to become the best. well...I will be the best." Asher smirked as he talked his own trash about being the best hero. This was only met by a soft tap from Jane\'s fist. The two ended up arguing about who would be the best hero.
