What The Luck!? Chapter 57

"I...Think...I have it." Art was making the best progress with it and had finally figured how to start to gain his sight back as he moved. He had started to use a technique similar to a wrestler's walks. This was where someone would slide down on to their knee and burst up with force. The improvised wrestler's walk was giving him the idea of how to keep on the move and burst upwards. Soon he was adding the punches she knew in to is, one such punch being a very basic upper cut he had seen on television before.
'Dang it Art is getting ahead of me.' Asher used his rivalry as fuels to start to speed up. He tried to follow the balancing act that he had in the wheel kick and found that it was giving him significant force to his feet. The speed of his moves were also much better and after he tried for another ten minutes he could see that there were points in his motions that could connect to kicks and punches.
"Ha!" He let out a wheel kick and then dropped lower and slid to the side to throw out a straight fist. His small combo got both Jane and Art's attention. 'What is he a martial arts genius now? Wasn't his super power luck or something…' The two couldn't hello but think Asher had some other super power related to learning. They had no idea that the strange area he had had where he fought so many sheep had actually kick started his battle instinct.
"Fine if You are going to play that way, then take this!" Jane used her speed and rushed Asher. The result was a startled Asher who moved ion instinct alone. He ducked and dodged Jane's outstretched hand which left her open. 'Time to try a jab.' Asher let his hand fly out and poked Jane in the side.

"Hahaahah" The laughter caught his ears sounding his victory. "Ugh, not fair, I will tag you ten times as revenge." The two had begun the game officially and Art, was also fair game.
They both targeted Art with their own techniques. They refused to let him escape the training to the fullest degree. Surprising both of them, Art did not try to use his foot work but instead just dropped his level and burst upwards completely jumping over them. He landed in the ground and poked them both in the sides. The two were forced in to a set of laughter before they could retaliate.
"You look way too happy for someone who is about to be taken down.? Jane had been triggered and now she would not be letting him off. Her speed was still much faster than both the boys so she dropped the attempt to use different leaves and flat out got in Art's face. He had no chance to react and had the smug smile wiped from his face. It was replaced with laughter and a little pain after being poked in the side.
The game went on until all three were panting on their backs in the back yard. They had not noticed their new audience the entire time they had practiced. "Encore Encore. I want my show back!" Cara had returned home from her shopping trip to witness the game of tag the three had started.
" Ha HA…" Asher wanted to retaliate but was too tired.
"You three should try to add more moves to your back pocket. The only one of you that has a power that can make any projectiles is Art right? So you two will need to be able to have a move for every situation." Cara had made a good point, but that didn't mean they wanted to accept it.

"Wait! I just remembered!" Art stood up and sprinted inside. Cara looked at him wondering what she had just said to trigger this reaction. Art's loud footsteps made them all look at the back door as he came out with a box of lead pencils in his hand. "Watch this!"
Art pulled out one pencil and broke off the tip. After his face grew serious and he looked like a vein on his head may hurt the small pencil lead tip started to float slightly in his palm. Just a second passed before he let out a huge breath and looked at the three. "I can finally make lead float!" He was extremely proud of this growth.
"That's so much better than just breaking the tip off a pencil!" Asher knew this was still not very amazing but it was actually a big step in comparison to before.
"I tried to practice every night for days and then after I learned that it can technically float as a gas I decided to try imagining that the lead I move is floating on its own in that state, and it worked." His excitement to show off to his friends was intoxicating.
"Sooo just a question. But will lead poison you too?" Art heard Cara's question and stood there completely still. He had not even bothered to ask the doctor that question. "Don't know huh? Well if you are immune to it then I think you should try to make it some kind of movable armor." Cara went back in to the house after saying this since she was bored with watching the three make fools of themselves while training.
Art was dazed, not only had one of the top fighters in the school given their advice but it had also been an amazing idea. "Oh, My, God. I have been blind for so long!" His dramatic pose showed that he had not even considered such a method of use.
"You still have the paperwork they gave you detailing your power right?" Jane remembered the documents that they were given to bring home to their families when they got their shots that detailed certain precautions to take in case the power was dangerous. Without hesitation Art was dashing in to the house.

as an anomaly sweeps the world, many gain strange abilities. as for Mal, the power makes it so they cannot die, or more accurately, they get sent back in time to the last place they were safe at. A power that seems like a blessing until you’re crushed under rubble, drowned in sewage, shot, stabbed, all while having the royalties to feel all the pain from such fates. And to put the icing on the cake, a strange message appeared before everyone’s eyes stating that unless someone breaks down the gate within 17 years, everyone will die”. now Mal needs to find a way to “break down the gate” (whatever the hell that means) or they will be forced to die and revive, only to die again for the rest of time. Which would suck, probably. /————————————————— this is technically a time loop novel. the MC is chaotic neutral with a worryingly lack of care about how their actions affect people. i want to interact with my readers so give critique and suggestions. I will sometimes host polls for the personality for new characters, story decisions, and the ability to cancel annoying characters, besides Mal, if they get enough complaints. I am also impatient and will end decision polls when I want to write more. If no one votes, I choose, so don’t let that happen. if you’re want world building check out hitchhikers guide to checkpoint (an encyclopedia of what I made up with lots more explanation)
