What The Luck!? Chapter 224
Advertisement
Jane was ready for the second the bouncy balls would be released at level four. She knew that this could be any direction so she wanted to make sure she used her burst of speed to slap them as well as she could. She knew that she could get to level five with one well timed hit but that was the problem. She would need to track and attack one of the four about to be fired.
The clicking ceased and everyones' attention was on the barrel of the machine. Before they could even blink there was another click and the sound of a bouncy ball was headed right at Janes' head.
Her eyes narrowed as she ducked to avoid it but the next three had already been fired and were bouncing away from her. She pushed off the ground with all her might to try and catch one of them but her hand was inches away from it. "Ugghh, I was so close!" She stomped her foot as she stood upright trying to look like she wasn't completely defeated.
"And that is how you play the game. The challenge will test your reflexes and make you move faster and faster. I think this will be pretty useful for you Laura." Asher saw that this would greatly help Laura focus on the movements of her body and how well she could make her mind and the speed of her body match up.
"Why do you look so smug. I will admit you two found something cool but it is just your luck." Laura was too bashful to admit that they had found a perfect training for her. "I guess I will go next then. Ladies are first after all." She stepped up to the playing area while the others got ready to watch.

Jane gave a hard look to Asher and realized that Art was also looking at him expectantly. "Oh! Now let's get the circuit started. Foot work training and basic moves for half of us and the rest will study from the app." His words brought a lot of negative looks for Louis and Sammy but this was the way it had to be.
"I know this is part of the plan, but watching would have been a lot more fun." Louis wanted to see how well everyone faired against the game so that he might have a better understanding when it came to his turn. Unfortunately, there was the academic app that was calling for him to focus on reading and writing.
The rotation was proving to be successful and an hour easily passed as they all made their way through the game. Not a single one of them was able to get to level five by themselves making it appear that level four was the utmost they could get to right now.
"I swear, just another shot at it and I will have level five!" Art had been inches away from getting the ball to hit a target that he had let himself believe it was a for sure win. He knew that if he played again he might be able to reach the level faster.
"Calm down. If you go again then the circuit will be ruined. Just let Asher take his turn and we can focus on that math that you are avoiding." Jane knew the words to easily take the wind out of his sails and change his focus.
"You know, I am actually feeling pretty good about it. I think the machine is going to see my true strength." Asher had been studying biology and needed to get himself all hyped up to take on the reflex game.

"Ha! You sound like a little kid getting ready to go down a water slide." Sammy couldn't help but see the childishness in Asher. It was just too funny for her.
"He is like that though. But the scary part is he will probably follow up those words." Laura had realized that there were moments that Asher would act slightly more childish than the others. However, these were the moments when something surprising would often happen.
"Yeah, he does have some weird luck. Let's just watch and see." Sammy and Laura had already resigned themselves from the punches that they were trying to make muscle memory.
"You think I didn't hear you? I won't let either of you escape training just to watch Asher kick the games high score." Jane had heard what the two girls were talking about and had rushed ion to a furry. She wasn't going to let the training fall apart. Especially if they wanted to watch Asher when she was focused and couldn't herself.
"Oh now, you triggered Janes' jealousy. Quick run!" Laura was rushing away leaving Sammy standing there alone.
"My what? What if I was watching Louis do this huh?" Jane was too quick on the rebuttal. She knew that Laura had been acting weird around Louis and that it was definitely the start of something.
"What are the girls fighting about over there?" Art had barely heard any of what was going on over him and Louis quizzing each other in math.
"I think they were fighting over who they were cheering for. But we should stay focused since we have more to go over." Louis wasn't letting himself get distracted just yet. He had just gotten focused and committed to the studying.
Asher ignored the girls fooling around and focused himself on the game. He quickly started the entire thing and watched as the barrel clicked in to place. He knew that he had been taken for surprise a few times as he had done this the first time. Now it would be different.
The first bouncy ball was fired and Asher didn't even need to push himself to slap it back in to a target, Just like Jane the first one easily hit the button on the wall and started him to the next level. His smile held confidence as the barrels clicked again and he fell in to his stance to wait for the second set of bouncy balls to be fired at him.
