"I am telling you I was just here earlier and I saw nothing like a reflex training machine." Louis was still unable to accept that there was some awesome training machine hidden in the storage cabin that no one else ha had talked to knew about.

"As I said, there was a staff member named Jim and he showed it to us. We can try it out when we get there and you will have your proof." Jane was not in the mood to argue about these things since she knew that it was true anyway.

"Try not to burn all your energy. This time we are going to beat a higher level. I think we can play solo in rounds and see who can get farther." Asher was getting focused and excited on their walk over to the storage cabin.

"I think you need to introduce us to this Jim guy. He sounds like the retired hero we all need in our lives." Laura mentioned this and was instantly seconded by Sammy. They both wanted to meet a retired hero but they also wanted some form of proof that a retired hero was actually here at the camp as a basic staff member.

"He was the one that told us about the vitamin packs too. He even looked up your name and knew we were friends." Asher explained this yet again but no one but Jane was having it. They wanted proof that a retired hero had done all this.

"This camp has more to it than you think. They are keeping track of things everywhere and making sure those that are working hard have everything they need. You should be able to catch on how often Garnet showed up when we needed her." Jane said this knowing that Louis, Sammy, and Laura were not following. They were too dependant on proof being held in front of them.

"Let's just show them and let them figure it all out on their own. It's just too bad that Jim isn't there today. Maybe he is on the night shift at the camp store and that is why he isn't at the storage cabin today?" Asher knew it would be impossible that Jim could be everywhere at once and all the time. But it would have been very convenient if he happened to be at the storage cabin when they walked in.

"Hello, is this your first time here...Ah, the camper that likes stun guns is back." The younger staff member instantly recognized Louis and was prepared to hide all of the electronics for safety.

"It was a mistake. I didn't think that it would fry itself when I touched it. I thought it would just zap me or something like stun guns are supposed to do." The group ignored Louis as he rambled through his apology yet again.

"Hello, we are here to use the reflex challenge machine. It fires bouncy balls that we need to slap back at buttons on the wall." Jane replied to the staff member with her best polite voice so that she would forget about Louis and his past mistakes.

"Of course, that is one of Jim's favorite toys. He never shows that off to anyone but the staff members he trains. Feel free to go and start a round. I never even got past level two." The staff member waved them all through like it was no big deal at all.

"Huh. strange that she knew who Jim was too. I wonder if he is actually real?' Asher teased the three who had doubted him and Jane. He knew that it was a little unfair but their bashful reactions were still too funny.

It only took a few moments to make it to the corner where the little court for the game was set up. "Oh, the area was cleared even more. There is so much more room now. We can train our moves while we wait our turn for the machine." Jane was happy to see the additional space.

"Should we guess this is the work of the mystical Jim you speak of?' Laura had a smart comment ready but Asher also had a rebuttal prepared.

"So here is the circuit. One person plays a round of the game while the others study on the app and practice the basics of martial arts. Anyone that fails this gets penalized and has to face me in a sparring match." The looks of Sammy, Louis, and Laura were of fear, they knew that Asher could wipe the floor with them.

"Dang bro. I go to the restroom quick and you are already threatening our friends with harsh sparring matches. You might be a future coach Winters." Art had left the group for only a minute and was considering leaving again for his own safety.

"Good, you're here to watch jane demonstrate the game first. Everyone watch carefully because we are staring the rotation now." Jane stepped forward and pushed a button on the wall.

The group watched as the little cannon set itself up and the clicking sound or the barrels increased. The first level was the easiest but the sound of the game preparing made them all fearful.

"Once the first ball is fired, you will slap it like-" Jane saw the barrel fire off the first ball and she easily kept up with it. The slapping sound of her hand hitting the bouncy ball at the wall was only matched by the click of the button she had just hit with the ball. "Then you will hit the buttons like that and send yourself to the next level." Jane was incredibly happy to have shown off on the first hit. However, she knew what was coming.

The group watched her as she pushed herself on to level two and even to level three. Asher knew that things were only getting worse and that their friends were about to see why this was such a brutal training.

"I hope all of you are ready for this. Because she just got to level four and this is where it gets real." Asher bit his lip in worry as the clicking sound intensified.
