Chapter 184 - 184. Catching Up

"You two found the egg again!" Laura was devastated as Asher showed it off. She had searched before anyone else had woken up today and even on the way to and from the obstacle course. She thought she was sure to find it before them today.

"Yeah, Jim had it hidden in a weird way, but it was pretty logical," Asher explained the way they had found the egg making the other three ponder their own mortality.

"Would you have stopped to clean the box of tools up? Or would you have just been on your way?" Jane posed the question after a few moments making all three of them look at her seriously. 

"I want to say yes but I know that if I am in a rush I would just leave it. I still need to slow down more." Laura was very truthful and didn't even think to lie. She knew herself and since she had received her super power she had been foregoing many things since she was always moving around at top speed.

"I would have to clean it up. If my room at home is even a little messy I need to make sure I clean it up as soon as possible. It has been harder with my super power since I make little breezes that seem to always nock the papers on my desk to the floor." Sammy looked a little more pitiful as she said this but they all knew that she could easily solve the problem with a paperweight.

"I'm pretty sure I would pick it up if I noticed it. I might not realize it is there though. But since I tend to have the kind of luck that makes me trip over things or stub my toe I think I would find it and pick it up then." Asher felt a little guilty hearing this since he thought that he was the cause of Art always tripping or stubbing his toes.

"We should try and bring this to philosophy class. It might get us some extra credit." Jane had this sudden thought and figured that a certain someone would need the extra credit due to their lack of doing homework.

"Why is it you look at me when you say that?"m Art was ready to start an argument but realized that they should start thinking about the night training. "I asked around about the night training when we went and got the ticket for Sammy. But the staff there wouldn't tell us anything." 

"I think they are purposefully about telling us. You remember how Garnet came and just grabbed me at school right? That happened to Jackson and Laura too. I think it is supposed to make us uncomfortable so we can learn to adapt." Asher's theory sounded plausible. 

"Oh, so I just bought a ticket with my hard earned points so that I can get kidnapped. Great!" She threw her arms up in the air and realized they were still sore causing her to draw a sharp breath. 

"We should just go nap or try and steal the golden egg for Asher." Laura teased a bit which made Asher cover the pocket the gg was in. He wasn't giving up the only place he and his friends could train alone. He was going to do his best to make sure that Art had the best place to train.

With their meals finished they group grabbed the protein shakes that they had been suggested in the app. Art and Jane insisted that Sammy and Laura take them too since they were just as sore as Art was. They eventually grabbed them and read the back realizing that they were medical grade and would help them recover faster. 

After they gushed over how great the camp was again they all finally went off towards their own peaceful areas in camp to rest. Art, Jane, and Asher went to the nurses' cabin that Asher was allowed to use by Garnet. They each took up residence in one of the beds there to nap while Jane also checked her wounds. 

Jane was not surprised to see that she had nearly no trace left of the cut from before. She had learned that those with physical powers often healed faster and would be able to survive deadlier attacks in general. She also knew of the high quality of medical supplies here which would also help her recover faster. Feeling at ease she was able to wrap her arm again and fall asleep easily. 

"All campers with a night training ticket must report to the dining hall in ten minutes or you will lose the opportunity to participate in the future!" The three were awoken by the camp speakers blaring this message. They had taken a solid three hour nap and woken up to the fading rays of sunlight. "What! We slept like rocks for three hours?" Art couldn't believe they had fallen asleep so easily. 

"What did you expect? We move around constantly. Our bodies need the rest, but the staff here really fixed us up." Asher was stretching out after the nap and found that any soreness or even bruises were pretty much gone. There was only a slight twinge here and there but not enough for him to care about once he got moving. 

"Look at this. My arm is already back to normal." Jane proudly presented her previously injured arm to Asher. She wanted to make sure that he would not be worried the entire training session. It was also to show just how amazing the things the camp gave them access to were.

"I think I would need to be rich to use these fancy medical supplies and facilities. I wonder how much it costs to come here for the summer training camp." Art was already researching it on his phone as he spoke. When his phone fell from his hands and bounced on the floor the other two couldn't do anything but wonder what had caused this. 

"Art? Hey Art? Are you alright?" Asher waved his hand in front of Art's face.
