They all knew it was Sammy's power that had just caused their safe descent to the ground. But seeing how shocked she'd was herself, they didn't want to push right away.
"I thought we were all going to fall and get hurt. You both would have fallen on your heads…" the breeze shifted slightly as she said this.
"But we are fine now. That little twister saved us and look," Art tapped the ground softly, "we are on the ground."
"Art is right, your power came through. You did well." Dia had seen many instances like this. On the obstacle course, it was common for people to fall or get in to dangerous situations. It could push them past a certain mental limit making their powers exasperated.
"It was also really cool!" Laura chimes in but not a single person could take her seriously.
Sammy looked like she was still about to cry after the fall but she was having trouble containing a smile. l your hair looks like an ice cream cone."
The wind had whipped Laura's hair in to a spiral shape and it had twisted together sticking in that shape.
Laura hesitantly reached up and felt the damage. Her face dropped from trying to make Sammy feel better to a vengeful glare. "Now don't go getting angry. I've seen your hair after the obstacle course. Your speed kicks up mud, twigs, even little bugs."
Dia jumped in to defend Sammy while Art tried to feel for anything word in his body. When he realized everything was more or less fine he breathed easy. "So, I don't think flying will be too far away for you."
When Art said this Sammy froze and stared directly at the sky. He was right. She had just done something she had always told herself she couldn't do. This had just been holding her back. Now she could feel the mental block broken and a profound understanding of wind she couldn't describe.
She finally smiled properly. "You're right. I might be able to fly sooner than I think." She moved her hand and a soft breeze brushed by them. "Maybe a month or two but sooner than ever."
Dia had looked them all over to make sure they had no injuries. Seeing that they were all calmed and in shape ah had no reason to baby them. " let's get back to it. The job still isn't done amd you want those points right?"
There was an instant drop in the mood. All three of them looked at Dia who was standing proudly with her hands in her hips. After a joint groan of annoyance and soreness, the three grabbed ropes again to climb and finish up.
The three managed to get all of the ropes strung up and were watching Dia hammer in the final maintenance nails. They would act as steps so that someone could easily climb up and perform maintenance. "Wait, why didn't we help you put those nails in so we could use them to climb up?"
Sammy had realized this and was now questioning everything they needed to do. If this was so easy then why had they needed to do everything the hard way? There were too many things that could have been done to avoid the risk of them falling. If Sammy hadn't used her super power to control the wind by accident then all three of them could have been seriously hurt or worse.
Dia coughed a few times while hammering the last nail, "I have no idea what you mean. These are just decorative. Not meant to be stood on at all." Dia was not very convincing since she was putting her full weight on one as she spoke.
"Why don't I believe that at all?" Art said this but realized Dia was already starting to change the subject.
"So now that it is finished all we need to do is test it. The best way to do that is to take out my favorite pocket stop watch and see who's the fastest." Dia pulled a stopwatch from her pocket and clicked the stop start button to reset it to zero.
"Or we could just let you go on it and we could time you." Art tried to play his cards and make the person who had rested arms try to swing on it. Unfortunately for him, he was not in a position to win against Dia or Laura.
"Yes! I will win and I want an extra five points for it." She was already getting in position to grab the first rope.
"Wait, didn't you say you were giving us your points? How can you get an extra five?" Sammy recalled Laura's previous promise to give them her points for completing the task.
"Yeah I know, but I want to get more of those puzzles I struck it rich on last time. That luck power that Asher has is too good. He picked out the one that hit big so I am bringing him as my lucky charm.
"Don't you dare steal away my lucky charm. Jane and I already have a claim on him. He is going to win us perfect grades on our multiple choice tests forever." Art rushed to the start of the rope swing obstacle and had totally forgotten how sore his arms were.
"And just like that, I have lost Art…" Sammy was left as the only opposition to testing the obstacle and couldn't resist Dia's looks. "You could at least test it with us."
"You're right, I could. But I will go after all of you do. I want to see how all three of you can hold up after strenuous work. I can make suggestions in future training that way." Dia had admitted the training analysis she had been doing without shame. She officially gave up on pretending this was only a task to help her out.
"Fine. But when you go we are all timing you and if you get worse than one of us you need to buy us lunch." Sammy walked to the start of the obstacle in a huff. She still was not happy to hear the answer but had no choice but to accept it.
