What The Luck!?

All of the students of ahead of the group in age and experience found themselves shocked. They constantly were beating them in the work outs and surpassing their pace over and over. One girl swore she saw Laura do a hundred push ups in under a minute. 

There was a group of boys that spoke of a monster that was able to do curl ups as if they were nothing. Louise was being called a monkey in disguise due to the ease he had climbing. Sammy was the reason everyone that reached the sand bag stair climb would choose the heavier weights. 

The only people who managed to sneak under the radar were Art, Cara, and Jackson. Mostly because they had not bumped in to many students due to their rotation. However, this was different than Asher. He only managed to come in to contact with one single person. 

"And so I found the leader again. Who would have thought fate would put us in line for a while." James was flat footed on the ground for a change and was about to start the planks that Asher was already halfway through. 

"Hello, James. I'm sorry to say that my group has no desire to join you as of this moment. We are happy with our current arrangements. I know it's rude to jump right in with that but I figured you were here for that." Asher was not going to dance around the subject. He knew that the more he spoke with James the more he could be tempted to join or even have his mind changed. 

"I wish the answer was different but this was always a possibility. I do have an alternative then. Be my hero group's ally. We will need people who we can call for help in the worst of situations." Asher couldn't see any issue in this. When his group left university and joined the real world of hero work, then they would need connections and friends to make sure that they were able to make a name for themselves and save people wherever they were needed. 

"Having friends is very important. That's how I was able to form my group. We are friends and to be instant a family. I believe that bonds kike that will get better results than what you are trying. Not that your plan is bad, just remember to stay a little human." Asher phrased it as if it was a joke. However, he was trying to give some advice. Something in his gut was telling him that James needed to hear these words now instead of later. 

"I see where you are coming from. I do have my plans and they are perfectly set out. But I can see what you mean. I've seen the stories of people without their evo shots lifting entire cars to have a child. Or running faster than an olympian to push someone out from in front of a car. Those chemical responses start with the emotional bonds people have with each other." 

This was a little off of what Asher was trying to say but it still worked nonetheless. James in the very least seemed to grasp what Asher was saying. "So, since you happen to be the most knowledgeable person around. Who are the other top students that have the same opportunity as us?" Asher felt that James was the best person to ask for information since he was an intellectual that planned and gathered information. 

There was a pensive look on James's face while he thought about what he would ask. By the time he finished thinking he had reached the end of his plank time and the pair were headed to the next work out. They were lined up for the next four work outs and did not see any reason to rush. 

"I will under a condition. I have information about everyone's super powers. But yours is a mystery to me. How does it work? What is the trigger? How do you define luck? Can you actually jinx or curse people? How does that work?" James was completely lost when it came to the new super powers that never had been documented before. Since Asher was one of those super power holders, then it was simple for him to want to hear what Asher had to say. 

"I don't see any problems with that. Maybe you can figure out how I can better use it to my advantage. But be warned, I mostly go with the flow when it comes to my own super power. I prefer to train and improve myself more so even I am still somewhat in the dark." 

"Wait, you haven't been trying to learn more about your super power? That's one of the most basic focuses of any super hero when training." James couldn't believe his ears. He was listening to someone basically tell him that they were ignoring one of the key focus points intentionally.

"Trust me, learning about moves and training my body has paid off more than you can think. Then the improvements in my grades have been night and day. Not to mention the fact that I have been able to skip an entire grade." Asher could only see benefits in the things he had done so far. His super power had also played its own role at times too.

"I'll take a watch and see approach but in the future feel free to share things with me. I know scientists want their data but to be honest, I would prefer to be looped in. I hate not knowing something." This was a minor flaw for James. He would often get hung up on Smalls Erik's he didn't know. But it didn't often prove a negative since those facts could be used to further his goals.

"Now, for what you want to know. You have your sister. She is in her own league with super power control. She has trained it to be at the top. Her stamina is also way up there but that is required for her sound manipulation."

Asher already knew this.  He had seen the huge amount of stamina his sister had by the way she ran for hours on end for training. 

"You have myself, I have a unique super power and I plan like a mad man. I won't deny I have control issues. Then we have our bull shifter friend. He may have some anger but he is as general as a flower." 

There was a slight pause while James considered the final persons' description. "The last top student that joined the program at the same time as me is a bit hard to describe. She had a super power similar to mine in the mysterious sense. But hers is related to shadows. She's hard to keep track of." 

Asher could tell that James was at a loss. The fact that his face was scrunched up in annoyance and frustration showed that he had been missing the details about how the girls super powers worked. This was a surprise since he even said that the girls had joined at the same time as he had.

"So this girl has some kind of shadow super power? Sounds interesting. Is she part of your group?" This was a little extra information that Asher had some hope he could get.

It proved easier than he expected, "who knows, she said she is a solo act because no one can keep up with her. Tamara is difficult for me to handle." It was clear that this girl, Tamara, was the very bane of James's existence when it came to information gathered.

"I guess I will just have to hope to meet her as I go about the training over the break. Maybe I will learn something that you haven't learned yet." Seeing that James was actually smiling at this even though he was in the middle of the squats, Asher knew that James was not a flat two dimensional strategist he had believed he was before. 

"Well, this is where we part ways. Thanks for the talk. Hopefully, we can talk again during this week. I think they have some good stuff planned for training. It's way better than being left in the middle of the woods like last year." James was off through a wall and Asher was left wondering just what the training had been for everyone the year before. 

Unfortunately, there was not much time to think about it. He was on track to finish the work outs with plenty of extra time to kill. Therefore, he would be able to study some and even complete the pocket he had to finish. He was also sure that the entire group would be the first done. Not to mention Laura wh was most certainly finished or almost finished with the work outs.

By the time the day had ended, only the group, and ten of the other students had finished in time.. Many of them had failed and some of the others had not even made it halfway due to over working themselves.
