What The Luck!?

Chapter 109 - 109. Blinded Again



Without the three noticing Dia had made it to the next obstacle as well. "Go on then. There is room for five people to try this obstacle at once." She had an evil smile on her face since she knew exactly what was waiting for them in the crawling net.

"Why does that make me feel like things are going to be harder?" Jackson just went in to a crawling position and proceeded to crawl under the netting. His large body was barely able to fit but he still managed.

The two were slowly making progress at a literal crawling pace when they noticed the dirt around them was starting to shift. Around them, dividers were being pushed up through the soil. They were made of the same netting that the top was made of which stopped them from freely crawling about. They were now trapped in a maze they needed to crawl through.

"I knew this would be a pain." Jackson just squeezed through the maze trying to catch up or beat Asher to the exit.

"Stupid netting rising out of the dirt. I already had dirt in my eyes earlier and now again." Asher was cursing this obstacle for getting dirt in his already unhappy eyes. Now he was crawling around blinded.

Asher was crawling and trying to clean his eyes the entire time. His direction looked aimless as Laura and Dia watched him. "This might take a while." Dia had no faith that Asher would make it out of the obstacle at all. "I can let him sleep there if he needs but I doubt he will want to spend the night out here."

"Why do you think he will be stuck all night? I bet you he will make it out without even cleaning his eyes properly." Laura knew that there was more to Asher than met the eye. She had already seen and heard enough to know that his super power had a greater effect than most people understood.

"You'd be willing to bet on it? Alright, if he makes it out without cleaning his eyes I will give you twenty points." Dia felt that she was making a sure-fire bet. "And if he doesn't make it put you need to go to the deepest mud pit and go for a swim." She didn't want to take away points but would love to see the fresh mud pits she made for the obstacle course get used.

"You have a deal, but instead of points I want you to jump in the mud pit instead." Laura wanted the one responsible for this obstacle course to have a tase of their own medicine.

"Trying to be slick? Fine, I will win anyways so We can make that bet." The two girls shook hands, Dia was still very confident that she would have victory over their bet.

Laura had a feeling she would come out victorious and just patiently watched as Asher blindly moved through the maze. Jackson appeared to be making more progress but had become partially stuck in the risen walls of the maze. His large body was not friends with the tight space of the crawling maze.

"Jackson, you might consider a diet…" Laura was teasing him but the reaction she got was a little too cold. Jackson just gave her a deathly glare. Ever since he had gained this super power of a perfect body he had hated how much it changed his way of life.

"Stupid maze, I will beat you!" Jackson pushed himself through the spot that he was stuck and made the net bend away from the proper location. Dia just frowned harder as she watched, however, she could not fault Jackson since she had not taken someone of his stature in to account when designing the crawling maze. She would be doing some repairs later on in the night for when the campers all arrived. This was more of a final test.

"I can't even see, and I don't know where I am going. And this stupid netting keeps hitting me in the face. And I am crawling in the dirt." Asher's grumbling was overly dramatic but fair since he was still trying to get the dirt out of his eyes. He had managed to move some ways through the maze and was following his basic right is right strategy.

The two girls had been completely distracted by their bet and then by watching Jackson bend the mesh netting to get through the path. Since this was the case not a single one noticed that the blinded Asher had already escaped the crawling maze and was crawling towards the next obstacle.

"Ugh, come on there is water here too?" Asher had crawled forward and found that there was a stream of running water in front of him. He was not happy to find that the maze was even harder. But since he was stuck with it he just took a deep breath and proceeded forward.

"Jackson was making decent progress and was able to pick up his pace easily figuring out the pattern of the crawling maze. "Jackosn you're doing great. You are so fast." Laura had some trouble with this obstacle since she had to try every path. Her speed still made her get through it without any issue, but it was annoying to her.

Happy to hear the positive feedback finally Jackson pushed to move faster, he knew that the exit was near and soon broke in to the freedom outside the maze. "Ha ha! I must have beat Asher!" He stood tall and looked to see how far behind Asher was. However, no matter where he looked from the top he could not see Asher anywhere. "Umm, where did Asher go?"

"What do you mean, he is still blind in the maz-" Dia realized that there was no blinded Asher anywhere to be seen. "Where did he go!?"

Laura was equally shocked, she had been so focused on Jackson that she had missed Asher's escape and win the bet for her. The three were turning themselves in circles looking for the blinded by somewhere. After looking a little farther away towards the next obstacle Dia spotted him.
