What The Luck!? Chapter 217

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!"

Tale of Family - Book 1 - WIP
The world is peaceful in 2063. Fusion reactor and Diamon battery had taken care of the energetical problem. Countries were stable. Automation was everywhere. Life wasn't hard anymore, at least not in the United States of Europe. Summer break is about to start and, finally, Zoe will turn 18 and be able to play the game, Binding Fate. A simple video game, a vrmmo, but what swam under its surface wasn't simple. Power, fame and money were but the tip of the iceberg... State: Hiatus because I've an idea for another story. Quick F.A.Q. : - Yuri/female homosexual relation? Yes.- Yaoi/male homosexual relation? Maybe.- Explicit Sexual Content? Maybe.- Full Fledged Tragedy? No. Never, ever ever.- Body Modification/Body Horror? Yes. (Note: what one person think is body horror can be acceptable for someone else. If you want to see to what length I can go, read a bit of The Other Labyrinth. However, I won't go as high as quickly in the body mod/horror, so relax.- Gore? Hell yeah! I love gore! spraying blood and viscera etc...- Torture? Hurgh... maybe? Idk. Not at the start at the very least.- Memory loss/erasing? No, or at least not permanently. I basically hate this trope because it's like taking out all the character grow from a character, destroying everything that makes them what and who they are. so no.- Overpowered protagonist? You will see mufufu...- Will characters stay relevant seeing how numerous they are? YES, MOTHERFUCKING YES, I hate when characters relevance decay over time for no good reasons ^^'- Plot Armor? First of all, a definition: "Sometimes referred to as "Script Immunity" or a "Character Shield", Plot Armor is when a main character's life and health are safeguarded by the fact that he's the one person who can't be removed from the story. Therefore, whenever Bob is in a situation where he could be killed (or at the least very seriously injured), he comes out unharmed with no logical, in-universe explanation." (courtesy of https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PlotArmor I love you guys ^^) So now that this is said, do my characters have plot armour? No, because I always have an in-universe explanation, even if you don't know it yet ^^ Something is illogical or don't make sense? Read more, the answer is surely in the story ^u^- Balanced system? If you want to crush numbers and have a perfect equation balancing all the system, that's not the story for you. The system is more like a living being, and the rewards aren't forcibly tied to the level of the player. In fact, the system is purposely unbalanced ^^' Author's note: My goal here is to write a slow-paced story revolving around the bonds linking the characters, be them family, friends or lovers. Fight will be part of it, but I intend to build an actual interesting world before making truly large-scale battle happen, because the bigger a battle is, the larger its causes and effects are. I also aim at telling a story about how the characters actually help each other becoming stronger, more stable and happier. I particularly despise the lone MC type that becomes so powerful that every other character of the current setting become irrelevant beside being hostage targets, so this will not happen. I also like crafting, arrays, blacksmithing etc... so there may be crafting. Another thing I like is management game like sim-city or the like, so this while also appears, keeping in mind that I like MC's that make people around them stronger... For the tropers around here, a list of tropes that I like to use (note that I may not use all of them ^^) (this list will be updated as I dive deeper and deeper into our dear trope wiki.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BodyHorror- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SealedGoodInACan- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/YouAreNotAlone- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ZombieAdvocate (In particular since I see a lot of things that aren't human as worthy to live and to live with)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasLovedOnes- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvenEvilHasStandards- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HeelFaceTurn- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/CorruptTheCutie (Note: being corrupted don't mean you're a villain, only different than before.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DefectingForLove (Of course.)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/VillainousRescue- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/InterspeciesAdoption (For the same reasons as zombie advocate, since I love family stuff)- https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BrokenBird (to go with corrupt the cutie if it's a girl)Cover: "The Bard" by John Martin, 1817.
