What The Luck!? Chapter 270
Advertisement
"Bring it on Laura. I saw that you moved fast and I need to test my reflexes." Cara had been set up to spar with Laura. The match up had been based on speed. If Cara could improve her reactions and pair that with her stamina then it would be better for her overall development.
"That's so not fair. That's like putting a baby against a professional boxer in a fight." Laura knew that Cara was going to crush her in a sparring match but she did have a feeling that continuing the weak approach would be best.
Cara had seen lauras' speed and knew that she was learning how to use it from Jane so she did not believe that her personality had changed from up front and loud to quiet so fast. "Let's take the center. Everyone else will record and analyze our match so we have some tips to improve on." Cara was sure that with so many eyes there would be a lot of things to improve on.
Laura thought she had gotten Cara off guard a little and continues to hold herself back until the two were ready to battle it out in their match. "So, I know we aren't supposed to use our powers but we all know that Jackson and Laura can't really avoid theirs. Not to mention Lois who needs to exhaust his before he can act normally right?" Asher was the one to speak to everyone who was watching the two get ready.
"I think Cara wants us to try and focus on thinking that we don't have the super powers so that we can better think in any situation. You might have your luck but if you just went unprepared in to a dangerous situation then wouldn't you just be walking in and walking out unable to accomplish anything?" Jane made a good point.
There was not much someone without any training could do. If Asher didn't have training he could only accomplish something small. But with training, he could pull off much more. Not to mention applying the super powers with the training and it would start to show massive improvement to the things he could do in a disaster.
"Hey, should we try and pay attention to the fact that Laura thinks she can be all slow and innocent acting? Cara definitely sees through that." Art was the one to bring this out in the open. No one else had really said it flatly.

"I think Laura wants to try the feints from before. We practiced using foot work to fake each other pout which was a lot of fun. She had the speed for it.' Jane enlightened everyone on what had been happening.
"Oh, makes sense. So that's why she is letting Cara rush in first." Louis could see how this would go at a glance. He watched as Cara ran forward. "She might be running right at Laura but I feel like it is bait for Laura to make a move. Laura would be better off attacking the front which Cara won't see happening." Louis was right and Asher agreed.
"How do you know that Cara knows this? Wouldn't Cara expect an attack from the front in this case then?" Sammy found it a little more challenging to wrap her head around these things. She preferred things to be straight forward and in the open than a large mind game.
"You should work on feints too you know. If you can fly you can do what Laura is trying but in many more ways since gravity won't fully hold you down." Jackson was able to understand that someone like Sammy would be able to pretend she couldn't fly then suddenly surprise an opponent from the sky.
"Ohhh, so I should use the air to get someone down. Wait, what did Cara just do?" Sammy was caught by the sparring match.
Laura had waited for Cara to get close and then tried to use her speed to dart to the side. Yet, when Laura did this she was suddenly on her back. Cara had spread her arms and used them to trip Laura up. Lauras' chest had hit Caras' arm and she was knocked back by her own momentum. It was a rough but true reality when having her moves predicted.
"Next time assume I know what you will do in advance. I already know your speed so how would I miss the fact that you weren't using it?" Cara posed this question to Laura. The match had been short and not much to analyze, however, it was a nice start to get everyone thinking properly.
"Alright, you got to analyze the failure of a feint and whatever. Art against Sammy next." Cara wasn't going to let everyone rest. She wanted everyone to keep the flow of their training and continue to move forward. The next portion of training may be cardio and stamina but this hour and the final super power and sparring hour would directly relate to this analysis hour.

"I bet Art won't know what to do against Sammy. She is smaller and a little more agile than him so he will need to catch her off guard." Louis was pretty sure Sammy would end up with the advantage.
"You forget that Art trains against me a lot. I am faster to and he is able to counter me a lot of the time now." Jane brought this to Louis's attention and caused him to realize that Sammy may be way in over her head.
"Art won't go too hard on her. He had been trying to work on basics. I bet he will spend the time defending. He wants to have those blocks down so well that he could do them in his sleep." Asher knew that Art had constantly been practicing basics since they were his strongest moves already.
"Oh, Sammy is already rushing in." Jackson was surprised to see Sammy showing so much fire at the start. She was being much more forceful and rushing Art right away. It was very different from her normal personality.
"I told her to do that. She might end up dodging all the time if she is using her super power. If she can fly she would use it and become much weaker overall with a huge weakness to physical attacks." Cara had whispered this to Sammy as they passed each other.
"Ah! I was wondering why you stopped for a second. I tried to listen too but you were so quiet." Laura had felt left out.
"No, I changed the direction of the sound waves so that they would only be heard by Sammy. It's something I have been trying to learn for a while and can barely do without focus." Cara had long worked on this skill so that she could communicate with everyone without the worry that someone will be able to hear her. The only problem was that she wouldn't be able to change the frequency or it would make her words unable to be understood by anyone.
"Nice, that's the block you were teaching Sammy and me in the pool the other day. Art just swiped and left Sammy stumbling." Louis was excited to see the move he had just started to learn in action.
Art had let Sammy throw her first punch. He swiped his arm across his body and pushed her punch to the side and left her open to an attack and stumbling. This was the ideal situation for him to counter but instead, Art stepped back and retreated. He wanted to get the most out of the match along with train himself on the defensive with the new moves.
"He could have taken Sammy out. She is a little too inexperienced compared to him. But it is better for her and him to let it keep going." Cara praised Art's decision. It also gave them more to watch and learn from.
"Sammy looks a little annoyed…" Louis noticed that after Art had blocked Sammy for the fifth time she had the same annoyed look that she got when Louis would interrupt her.
Sammy reacted just how Louis thought she would. She gave up on tactics and started to kick and punch wildly at Art. This was exactly what Art needed to really test the blocks he could use. When Sammys' leg would rise for a kick Art would step back and slap it down. When her fists would come he would redirect or brace himself and block it with a solid stance.
"Wow, Art has some serious blocking skills. I didn't know he was that good." Laura was pretty amazed. His was a style of fighting she wouldn't be able to use with her thinner and weaker stature. However, the change in direction of attacks might be something she could pair with a feint as a counter.
"Just watch until he counters. He has Sammy right in the palm of his hand." Asher could already foresee the next move Art would make. It was the same he would make.

Recovery: Ignis
My Name is Keiren. Keiren Ignis. At least that was what IT told me. Now all I have to do is figure out everything else. No simple task when you're an amnesiac. Honestly, why do I know these words and what they mean, but I have no idea who or even what I am. Except for what IT told me. IT is whatever is causing the wierd pop-up screens that appear in my vision when I think about certain things. Seems like I'm going to have to play by ITs rules until I get a better understanding of everything else. This is my first attempt at writing anything. To be honest I'm not 100% sure as to what direction this will take. GLHF It became sci-fi. There will probably be a romantic subplot at some point. There will be some implied sexual content, but nothing more explicit than kissing will be written. Will try to release at least one chapter a week, but there could be none, or possibly 3 or 4.
