What The Luck!? Chapter 257
Advertisement
The remainder of the week fell in to an intensely busy schedule of classes and training. Asher was sure to record every single detail of the fire safety focus of the disaster relief course all week. They were preparing for a life testing in the back of the school at the start of the next school week but would first be tested on their knowledge of procedures and other factors.
The modern technology class proved to be a hidden treasure trove for them. Asher had gathered his friends' gear and brought them to a larger work station. Of course, the gear on display grabbed attention and before long there were already debates and arguments on improvements that could be made. Asher tried his vets to work out deals with all of them but before he could even get words in the other students had left to start preparing modifications and blue prints. It had left Asher completely in the dark.
He even knew that Jane and Art tried to bargain with the student but got pushed away as well. It seemed that they were more eager to improve and experiment than they were to get anything in return. It was an uplifting but also an uncomfortable experience. However, Laura brought up the fact that they would most likely be bragging during tournaments that the gear they modified was considered the winner. It was to further their own standings as well.
Since that was the case Asher didn't hesitate to get everyone's names and remember those he would be advertising when they topped the rankings in the Ricktor tournaments and later the school tournaments. It was an interesting twist of events but a welcome one since Asher was sure better things would come of his classmates if they were to receive more spotlight as well.
With the gear issue out of the way, Asher and the others focused on some of the other things they wanted. Laura was able to dig up many parts of super hero phonemes so they could tinker with them. There were also bluep[rints top the newest version making it easier for them to follow the instructions and basically make themselves customized versions.
This attracted a whole new set of students while they were in class and before they knew it they had begun to learn the basics of electrical engineering and coding. Jane was exceeding in the coding since it was mostly numbers based and she was good at math. Surprisingly Art was fining that he could easily master any tool put in his hands. It was like watching an expert who had always used it.

Asher on the other hand had been fumbling around with things and ended up looking for the prototype testing area. He had made deals with multiple students to test their inventions come the start of the week and even had a printed schedule for who he was meeting what day and when. It was the main thing he could do to properly give back to the class and learn more about the new inventions being created.
"We aren't spending our entire weekend training and studying, right?" Art was worried that they were all going to burn themselves out. It was already Saturday morning and they had completed their morning work out with some additional cardio and circuits since it was the weekend.
"I was thinking that we should go all out today or tomorrow then use the vitamin packs. It would make things harder but we could get ahead even more." Asher had the idea a while ago but wasn't sure if Jane and Art would be on board with it.
"You guys should just rent out the gym space and have group training. My friends do it all the time. Sometimes it is mostly fooling around but it would be good for you all to study and train martial arts." Cara walked in to the room with her own input which made Asher and Art light up.
"I didn't even think to book the gym, quick, look and see if it is available on the student website." Asher was too slow to grab his phone and let Art take the lead.
"It says that it is available this weekend on Sunday. No one booked it for the whole entire day!" Art was surprised to find that no one would book it on a Sunday when there were so many students that needed to improve.
"No one ever books sundays. Students use that day for the library usually. Check the library room booking. It is completely locked up on sunday. But Saturdays they are free." Cara said this like it was the most common knowledge in the entire school, and to be fair it mostly was when it came to those who wished to use these spaces.
"Just sign us up for six hours on Sunday in the gym. We can study here at the house for academics after. Maybe everyone can bring some food after we clean up from working out and we can have a friends studying dinner." Asher felt that he had just found one of the greatest ideas yet. They could all work harder than ever together in the proper spaces then come to study and relax after. It was the ideal day for them to improve and assist each other where they needed.

"I just put it in, we should be all set sunday for the gym. I also sent it to the group chat too so we should be even more set. I don't think anyone will miss it." Art glanced at Cara next wondering if she would be coming.
"I'm in the group too, I will be there to kick everyones' butts and make sure you don't slack off." Her cheeks were a little red seeing that Art was looking for her approval but she didn't say anything else.
With their sunday plans all settled Asher texted Jane to see if she was coming over top train, before he could even finish sending the message there was a knock at the door. " Oh, that should be Jane. She asked me to spar with her since she said she wanted to work on her basics with another girl." Cara was excited to be asked for help like this and hopped up to get the door faster than the two boys could even respond.
"Hey Jane, I was just going to see if you wanted to come over and train, but I guess I am a little late." Asher laughed a little at this but saw that Jane smiled none the less. "Those are some nice sunglasses too."
Asher noticed the switch from mask to sunglasses and was fairly impressed to see the high grade that she wore. They were classic design known to be used by professional heroes for their durability and clarity. They also had a slight purple line on them matching her eyes which he knew was on purpose.
"These are brand new. I listened to coach Winters and finally tried out the sunglesses idea. I guess people are really only frozen by my eyes and not my entire face." Jane smiled even wider s she spoke.
"It will be nice to see more of your face all the time," Asher said this without even thinking.
"This is what I get for inviting another girl over to train with me. My brother hits on her. Gross." Cara grabbed Janes' arm while she shook her head The two headed to the back yard where Cara was sure to pick things up to spar even harder than before. Meanwhile, Asher was barely in a functional state after realizing he had actually hit on Jane right when she walked in.
"That was pretty smooth, I'll have to use that some time." Art was taking notes while also teasing Asher, it was enough to snap him back to reality.
"We should probably study and get some extra homework done before we head out to train more." Asher was able to easily convince Art in to this and after a solid three hours they were looking at a pile of homework they had managed to finish.
"We need to stop before our brains turn to jelly. Even the academic app is recommending we take a break." Art had reached his limit and wanted to get on with training. His body had been idle and he needed to burn off real energy.
"Then we should jog to Sammy and Louis's house. It is a good run and we can see if we can surprise them." Asher's suggestion sounded like the most fun and Art couldn't find any reason not to go along with it.
"Think they will be home? I know they live right next to each other so they could be at one anothers' house." He was slightly worried they would miss them.
"That's fine, we can knock on both doors and if they try to escape we can capture them and drag them training with us." Asher wasn't going to let anyone fall behind. He knew that Jackson and Laura were fully invested but had the feeling that Louis and Sammy may get distracted and fall behind. It was just a feeling he had after seeing them argue like brother and sister a few times.

Rimward Bound
Every citizen of the sky-cities of His Majesty's Star-Empire knows that a ship, both sky- and star-, is more then just a few bits of metal. It is the grand sum of it's hull and the crew that sail it. 'Hulls of battle-steel and men to match!' That's what the Navy's recruitment poster's claim at least. Every sailor knows that there is one more component that the city-bound folk ignore at their own peril: the soul of the ship. That it takes both man and hull to make a true ship, and that neither alone serve well or for long. In 8225 Lord Jeffrye Saltonstall the Fourth, Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps, demands semi-automated ships to 'reduce the loss of life among our brave crews', manages to convince the other politicians and bureaucrats to fund them, and gets the Office of Ship Construction to sign off on the ships as structurally sound. Dockyard workers shake their heads at the ships, muttering that they are cursed from birth, even as construction drags on. In 8230 the Explorer, first of her class, is launched. She sets out in 8233 to great fanfare on a trip expected to last six months. Neither she nor her twelve-person crew is ever heard from again. By 8235, the remaining seven Explorers are are commissioned. Lord Saltonstall managed to find crews for six of them but at the cost of mass resignations. The Night Horse, last of the Explorer class, sat in reserve as her sister-ships served well enough despite ill luck and misfortune. The Office of Ship Construction quietly issues notice that no more semi-automated ships are to be built and that all active Semi-automated ships are to be quietly retired and broken up for scrap over the next ten years. The Night Horse, sitting in reserve, is missed due to bureaucratic oversight. In 8250 Lord Ayland Wynstryngham the Eighth assumes the office of Political Lord of the Surveyor's Corps. His first act is to issue notice that no ship is to be without crew nor sit in dock or reserve for longer then required for maintenance and upkeep. The Night Horse, all but forgotten, is quietly brought back into active service. Recruiting a crew for her proves another matter entirely. What poor or desperate fool would willingly sign on to crew, much less command, a cursed ship and spend months or years in deep space? Well, you would, of course. Where else is a kid from the gutters going to find that kind of freedom in the service of His Majesty? A [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] 2021. Warnings: Second person is used in this work. Semi-Polished draft: Posted chapters are subject to revision as needed as things progress. Mild Profanity on occasion.
