What The Luck!?

The three of them continued their rotation with training super powers, working out, then resting. The elite home gym system had already adjusted based on the fact that they added the academics free app and was now asking them study questions from where they should have been in school. 

"The math is definitely the hardest one. Trying to do it in my head while I do squats or kicks is like trying to fly without wings." Art was being a little over dramatic but Jane and Asher had already noticed he was trying harder than ever. 

"Math? Hard? No, it's the science that is getting to me. I can't just sit here and explain the characteristics of an element off the top of my head. The only reason I know some of them is because you have been learning about metals for weeks." Asher was equally challenged with this new set up and wanted to take a break. Unfortunately for him, the free academics app was challenging them in increments through the day. 

"Mine says I am a month ahead of the suggested curriculum. That's what I get for doing a month's worth of homework from the syllabus." Jane was nearly mocking the two boys since she was so far ahead.

"Whatever, I am a week ahead and I will take that. I just hope that Jackson, Laura, Louis, and Sammy will download this app too and be completely on board. If they don't it just won't feel right to form our own group." Asher was worried that their other friends wouldn't feel so excited about this as they were. 

"Of course they will. They want to be the best too and when they see hope great I am doing they won't be able to hold back from challenging us." Art was talking pretty big compared to what they thought he would be acting like after getting the academic app. 

"Oh yeah? Then what are you at in the academic app? Four days behind? A week behind? Don't tell me it's over a month behind?" Jane felt that Art couldn't possibly be anywhere near her or Asher in the academic schedule. 

"I am three days ahead thank you very much. I do study you know. Just not as much as you do." Art stuck his tongue out at Jane as the final alarm for the work out rotation went off. 

"Time for us to head out and find some good challenges. We also need to find the egg, and then crush the obstacle course." Asher listed off their to do list and realized that they were going to be very busy today since these activities could take a lot of time. But it was all in the name of training so he pushed on. 

"Can we just get food first? I bet the others are already eating." Art was holding his stomach as if he had never eaten in his life. 

"I guess we should. It would suck to pass out half way through." Asher looked at Jane who was already nodding her head and agreeing with him. 

While the three walked they dedicated their time to looking for the golden egg along the pathway to the dining cabin. The leaves crunching beneath their feet with every step made it feel like they weren't anywhere near another building. "We took the left path right?" Asher said this looking behind them for the fork in the path.

"I think so, but I don't remember the path being covered in leaves like this. It's like nobody has been on it in days or weeks." Jane was nudging the leaves on the ground trying to discern if they had been packed down by the campers' feet. Unfortunately for them, it looked like the leaves had not been stepped on ever and were covering the path completely. 

"Should we just turn around?" Art was about to walk back but realized that with the entire path completely covered in leaves he had no idea if they had come from was completely straight direction. "Or...not." 

"Well, with our luck it makes sense that we would get lost, Asher it is up to you. Pick a random direction and let's see if we find food or just end up winning some award for dancing." Jane was already laughing at her joke but Art and Asher had a feeling that something so out of the norm could happen if Asher tried hard enough. 

"Fine, let's go this way. The leaves look more flat here than over there." Asher started off in a direction with fewer trees. Unknown to him, it was the opposite direction of the dining cabin. 

"The trees are farther apart but this doesn't look like the sparring field, so where are we?" Jane was looking around at an area that seemed to be the sparring fields' exact copy. The only problem was that it had no campers on it at all. 

"I don't know...You don't think we ended up in another dimension or something?" Art was already recalling all of the comics he had read about accidentally switching worlds. 

"Naaa, that's not a thing…"Asher was smiling in a forceful way while a single drop of sweat dripped down his brow. 

"Oh hey, there are signs here." Jane wasn't paying attention to Art or Asher and had started to investigate the area they were in. "They say camp jewel battle field one." 

"So this used to be one of the sparring fields? I wonder why it was retired? Not enough campers? Or not enough staff maybe?" Asher was already placing his theories on why they might retire an entire training field. 

"Or maybe someone used a really big earth based super power to create bones all in the ground and we should get out of here since they are sharp." Art was pointing at a slightly bare spot in the field which had spiky white bones sticking out. 

"What kind of super power could do that? Calcium control? That is insane." Asher was just in awe at the fact that there was a power that could turn the calcium in the ground in to real bones. Even more so that they were still there.
