What The Luck!? Chapter 213
Advertisement
The three walked the trail while reviewing flashcards easily making it to the next obstacle. "Why did it take you so long? I was here forever." Laura was not a huge fan of their slow speed.
"We are studying. You should start doing it too since we need to get ahead." Asher showed her the app which was recording their progress in studying. The three had managed to get through some math formula flash cards which were at their current level.
"Well, now you can do the log hop with me." Laura pointed out the obstacle that stretched before them.
There were many different height logs that could be stepped on. They were surrounded by fluffy dry leaves to catch those that fell since the logs would shift if they were in mud. This gave the camera a challenged to use them as stepping stones. This would have been an easy obstacle but the logs were not only different highest but also different sizes.
"So it's all about balance then." Jane made the simple conclusion. She didn't expect them to have a hard time balancing in general but keeping up with it constantly while moving may be a slight challenge.
"This is robbery. Asher has the clear advantage with his rag doll style. He could do anything and not fall." Art was the pne most assaulted by this obstacle. He knew that his balance was the least out of everyones and that Asher had no way to fail with this.
"Bro, just stay with me and we will do it together. We can link up and add a bonus challenge. Girls against guys?" Asher raised an eye to Jane and Laura who were already smiling with vigor.
"You're going down. Laura had done this multiple times and knows the best spots. By the way, loser buys dinner." Jane added this on while she and Laura linked arms. They were ready to make it through the course as fast as possible.

"I have luck on my side." Art linked arms with Asher and looked to him for guidance. "Where are we going to start bro?"
"Pick a random spot of course. That's the best method to get where we want to go. Plus all the starts are the same, that is a simple fact of making a course, it needs to be equally challenging from every angle."
Of course, Asher believed this but it was not the case. Laura and Jane side stepped over to the right side of the obstacles and were ready to start, Laura was intentionally guiding Jane to the easiest area to step on due to the heights of the logs. "Hehehe they don't know what they signed up for." Laura couldn't help herself from laughing while looking at the boys trying to pick a starting point.
"This is the highest pole, are you sure we should take it?" Asher was getting ready to help Art to step on the first and tallest pole at the start of the course.
"Yes, if we start here it will be like walking down stairs all the way to the end of this obstacle. Then we can finish the last two super fast and head to the sparring area." Asher was getting more and more energized as he felt that this was the right decision.
"Are you two ready"
Or do you need more time to decide on who will spend their points buying us dinner?" Laura and Jane were taunting them since they were sure they would win the race they had made.
"Ready to set up free dinner." Art shouted over and stepped fully on to the first log. He was ready to pull Asher up as soon as the girls made the call. Jane was in the same waiting to pull Laura up to the first log she was on.

"Go!" Jane shouted this while pulling Laura up and the two were off. Laura was directing Jane to the logs that were lowest to the ground. Her strategy was to follow these until the middle of the obstacle then jump on to the medium height ones. From there she had it easy since she could move diagonally to the end.
Art was equally pulling up Asher who started to fall right away from the first log. His weight falling forward took his foot to a smaller log which also dragged Art with him. "Just go with the flow Art. We will win this no problem." His shout made Art relax a little but the next unbalanced fall made his worry grow.
The girls spared the boys a few glances but just smiled. They saw the drunken hopping and falling that came with Asher's rag doll style and knew that they would be taking forever to get to the end. This only pushed them to move at their own pace.
Laura was pulling Jane along but she was still not moving as fast as normal. She was purposefully slowing herself as much as she could so she would not pull Jane in to any danger. Jane could tell she was slowing Laura down but was happy to see that Laura was learning to slow herself and focus on her super power control.
"Wait, stop here. The next one is this one on the left. We have a big hop but once we are there we are in the clear." Laura took the lead and readied herself to jump. However, just as she was about to take the leap a pair of falling boys stepped on the log themselves.
"Bro to the right,"
"No, left!"
The two were arguing while falling opposite ways and ended up moving diagonally in the exact path that Laura wanted to go. "You two cut us off!" Laura was angry about this and suddenly pulled Jane to move forward to catch up.
The furious pace that Laura set was making Jane slip a little on the logs. However, she was still able to use her own speed to stay with Laura. This let them hop on closer and closer to Asher and Art, but luck was not on their side.
