The screaming from Art got louder and louder until his terrified face came in to view. Asher tried to pretend that he wasn't about to see Art hit the mud while yelling. He knew that Art would not be happy with the mouthful of mud he would have. 

"He's totally hitting the mud." Once Asher said this Laura looked at him with stars in her eyes. She had wanted someone to end up in the mud and since Art was yelling she had the assumption that he would not make it to the target and instead hit the end of the line and fall in the mud.

Art was not as elegant as Jane but caught on to what they were supposed to do at the end. Before he could reach the very end of the zip line he released the handle and fell toward the target. There was no flip but he did manage to land on the target. His momentum was too great though. 

Art skittered to the edge of the flatform with his toes barely hanging off. He tried to bend backward to stop from falling forward but was still moving too fast. "No you don't." Jane grabbed the back of his shirt and gave a soft tug to fully keep him on the platform. 

"Uuugghhh, so close but no mud." Laura felt defeated. She had wanted to see someone fall in the mud the entire time. 

"I am sure if you wait a little longer those campers that followed us are going to be along." This made Laura cheer up slightly but still not to the same degree as earlier. "Comr over here you guys!" Asher yelled for Jane and Art to head over the platforms to the side quicker. 

"That was the best one yet, totally worth those stairs." Jane had greatly enjoyed the zip line. 

"Oh yeah, it was great until you realize you could die at any second," Art was apparently the opposite. 

"No more zip line for Art got it. So anyways, Laura is in for the group and skipping a year and stuff." Asher made sure to update his friends so that they could properly set things up. 

"I knew she would be. Here let me send the information to your phone." Jane took Laura's phone and after just a few moments a few soft beeps signaled the downloading was done. "I set it to have the same schedule as us. It will be perfect, once we are back at school with the entire group we can apply to use part of the big gym to train." 

"Why don't we apply for the out door space that the martial arts clubs use? They get to use all the training dummies and have access to the weight rooms." Laura had been made to clean the weight room and learned that the martial arts spaces were also reservable for groups to train themselves if they desired to pursue certain skills and careers. 

"That's even better, if we have access to those weight rooms then we are going to be even better off." Art was pretty happy to have access to the larger metal weights. He knew he would be able to secretly train his super power while he lifted.

"That leaves the right food. We will need to keep track of diet to make sure we are properly repairing our bodies." Asher was worrying about something that they could deal with on an individual basis. 

"If we need produce or fruit we ask Jackson. He said they always have too much right? The school actually has a large garden plot for the gardening club. After they won some prize for lilies there was a whole space set aside." Jane could barely recall seeing the announcement poster.

"I will be covered with those vitamin things...they might work pretty well," Laura mumbled the last part to avoid them testing her. Asher didn't let the chance escape him. 

"Then what is working pretty well? You mean the vitamin pack that a certain someone said wasn't going to fill them up?" unfortunately for Asher, his teasing was met with a solid punch to the shoulder that he couldn't avoid ad an angry Laura rushing off. 

"So, I think we should do the next three obstacles then call it quits. We can make a run to the sparring field and take on some challengers then go and try some other training. I really want to try the reflex training again in the storage cabin." Asher's plan was to optimize as many different forms of training that he could in the day. 

"I agree, we have so many things we can do, and focusing on one would not give us the best overall work out." Jane was right there with him seeing the benefit in hitting multiple areas of training.

"Yeah, I want to see this storage area where you two got those awesome min flash bang things. If they worked so well for the night training it makes me think there are other hidden gems." Art was already going to walk in the direction before Asher caught his shoulder. 

"We need the last three obstacles first. Items can only help us so much. If we aren't physically and mentally strong then it is a waste to equip a bunch of gadgets." This was a common sense rule but Asher felt the need to relay it. 

"Sure sure, but what if there is a time machine, or a rocket pack, or even-" Jane put her hand over Art's mouth to silence the childish thoughts for a moment. 

"Obstacles, training field, reflex training." She said this one at a time slowly to make sure Art wouldn't keep getting ahead of himself. "And we are going to study flash cards while we go between them." 

"Good idea. I almost forgot we should be studying too." Asher opened the app to find that it had already prompted him with a quiz question. "Check your phones it sent me a quiz…" His face was not excited but he opened it anyways and proceeded to start doing some math. This function was going to haunt all three of them constantly but pay off in the end.
