What The Luck!?

"I know this is what we wanted for our group...but did we really just do this?" Jackson was too stunned to properly process what he had heard. The group had made the goal a while ago to get to this point and they were just handed more than what they were after and told a big secret. 

"Before you start to talk about this and that, sign these papers. You need to accept the changes and the fact that this information will remain between those in this room and the others that are specified by the principal, myself, and other staff you are introduced to. It is not limited to just staff at this school. There are members elsewhere that will come to assist in the special classes you and the others who have received these benefits as well." 

Asher was having an enlightenment moment, "That's why Cara has so many retreats! I thought she just went on extra credit field trips. It makes so much sense now!" Asher had thought his sister was in a club or spent a lot of time with her friends but really, she had been learning more advanced knowledge to be a hero or in the law enforcement positions available. 

"There are many trips that will be available and guests instructors.. I made not that there would be three of you that would fit this position but it is very unexpected for a hero group to form so early. But those who had formed groups early have gone on to make a big impression on the world." Coach Winters was very serious but also showed a lot more emotion than usual. It was very different than her normal teaching style. 

"If we sign will we lose anything? I understand keeping things under wraps but I don't want to lose any opportunity." Jane wasn't sure if this would be something that locked her in to a future job or career later. There was no telling what could happen in life.

"You are still students. This is strictly secrecy and the agreement to change grades and classes. You are not forced in to anything else. Feel free to read the agreement. I will leave you to it." Coach Winters left the room and headed toward where the other evaluators were. They would each speak to them in turn later. 

"This is just crazy. I can't believe there is a villain group growing so rapidly that they are getting students to advance faster." Sammy was still not over it because every time she looked at the paper in front of them she would say that she couldn't believe it. 

"Well, if we are the ones being moved ahead it means that we are considered geniuses now, right? I feel like this makes a lot of sense. We are the best of the class now and we are being pushed ahead. I wonder why we get to skip all the way to junior year though, think it's because of Cara in the group?" Louis had already worked out the suggestion. 

"She is definitely way ahead of us, but my sister is definitely the reason they didn't stop at just giving us extra classes. Having a group with her would be much better than having her alone. We will need to play catch up though. Plus it might put us in a position for a lot of other students to chase." Asher made a good point. The group together would improve better but it would also make a lot of annoyed students try to catch them. If the group could do it, why couldn't they?" 

"I think we are missing a huge part of this. Garnet mentioned to Jane, Asher, and I at camp that there was an incident involving three campers that killed their parents. And there just happens to be three villains focused on the group that coach Winyters mentioned." Art had not been the only one to catch this. Jane and Asher also had but were not sure how to bring it up. 

"Wait. You mean the group they are trying to fight because it is growing has real murderers? I really had hope it was some smuggling or robbery thing." Laura was a lot more worried now. She couldn't sit still and started to nibble on the fruit leather the nurse had left her with as a snack. 

"We have a long way to go before we get anywhere near that. I think short term it will put a spotlight on us and bring us a lot of attention. We need to avoid companies trying to endorse us and people trying to get close for the benefits we have. Art will also have a little more going on with his family too so we will need to keep an eye open." Jane took a very logical approach to what immediately would happen. 

"I know my brother won't be happy with me stealing more of the limelight but I think it will further solidify our group and get me answers. As long as everyone is here we don't need anything. Also, I didn't want to ay much by my mother unlocked my bank account so that means I can fund the group. I just wish I was rich enough to build one of those elite home gym systems for us to use. That thing is crazy expensive." Art looked sad but the group shot daggers at him with their eyes. 

"We don't need any monetary endorsements or money from our friends. We have all gotten this far by working for what we got. Yes, there are things that were given to us in some form but, we had reason to receive them." Louis was sure that the elite home gym system could have been ignored. However, Asher had found that path himself. And helped the group. Otherwise, they had all studied and trained together using what they had available. 

"Louis is right, we don't need a pool of money. They are about to hand us a ton of resources to keep getting better and if we keep up our current pace we will be able to excel. Not to mention, we do have Cara who is still able to guide us to her level. Even if it takes time." Sammy was feeling a positive energy and starting to see an even higher pique to reach. 

"I don't know about all of you, but I just signed it. The retreats have to be to those other camps that the mountain had. They were for older students but I found that they have very little information online when I looked them up. I know because I found signs that turned me around while I was hiking at camp." Jackson wanted to look in to the camps for more survival knowledge and discovered he couldn't apply for them or even attend. They were invite only. 

"Then we will be able to go to those most likely. I bet there are other benefits too. I'm willing to bet that Garnet is one of the instructors that they offer for courses." Laura had cleared her mind and realized that Garnet could only be an instructor if she had been called in as an evaluator. 

"Well, I'm signing." 

"Same"

"I just did." 

The group began to sign and agree, leaving none of them out. They were all going in to this together. They would be the greatest hero group out there. 

"Have you all signed? I know it's a lot to take in." The principal walked in quieter than a mouse. None of them had even noticed the door open. 

"Yes. We all signed. What's next?" Asher was the one that had spoken. He was still taking the lead role most of the time and was not going to just drop it now. 

"Well, you have all received the special handbook and we hope that you can take the time to read through it. I know your group has another member who is about to participate in a match. If you would like to go watch we can postpone the additional transitional talks for later."

The principal already knew the answer and was opening another door. Everyone had snatched up their handbooks and stuffed them in pockets while grabbing anything they nurses had given them. Before the principal could say another word the group and rushed toward the secondary gym where the juniors were having their matches for scouts and parents. 

"If we run fast enough we can see the other juniors battle it out too. We can learn what we will be going against at the end of the year!" Asher was the first to sprint across the green grass of the front lawn toward the secondary gym. He wanted to see his sister fight but also take in as much knowledge as possible. He couldn't believe how lucky it was that he would be done with his tournament in time to see the juniors. 

"Ha! I might be tired from our match, but I'm still faster than you all!" Laura challenged them all as they ran making everyone push even faster. They had taken a huge step but it wasn't over yet.
