What The Luck!? Chapter 165
Advertisement
The girl that had jumped ahead of another member of the boxing club was anything but normal. She had a very plain looking face up until everyone noticed the four thin tails coming from behind her back. This wouldn't be odd except for the fact that they all appeared to be from different species of animals.
One of the tails was clearly an extended tiger tail, the next a lion, the third a house cat, and the fifth was radically different from an alligator's tail. These tails were all thinner than they would normally be on the animal they were specific to, but that made them more flexible. "Hi there, hero name nine tails here for a match against the battle masters' squad." The girl saluted and whipped her tails about behind her.
"Jane, I haven't come up with a hero name yet." Jane was watching the agile movements of the tails and trying to find the other five that should be there us the girl really had nine tails.
"You don't need to count so many times, I need to work on growing the other tails." The girl going by her already decided hero name caressed one of her tails while looking proud. It was obvious that getting to four for her was a major achievement.
"I see, then when that day comes we can have another match, I have heard a few rumors about you." Jane wasn't going to hold back in this match. She had heard of the girl who had taken the most recent gymnastics competition by storm. The gossip about he had only increased after she got her evo shot on her birthday.
Nine tails had received her evo shot at the very start of the school year since she was lucky enough to have her birthday fall on the first of the month. This was a huge head start for anyone since she had the most time in the grade to adapt to her powers. Even before she had received her evo shot she was known as one of the top gymnasts in the country. Now she was thought to make it to the Olympics since her evo shot had improved her body many times over.

"You have!? I'm so glad, I was worried that I wouldn't have any fans at this camp since I have been practicing on my own so much." Nine tails was happy to hear this. However, she was happier to hear the students around murmuring about her too. She was loving the attention.
"I have. But that doesn't change how seriously I will take this. If you haven't come through me you won't touch my Asher." Jane wasn't going to play around and she made sure that this Nine tailed girl would know.
"Touchy huh? I won't touch your boyfriend if you win. But if he sees me win and falls in love I won't stop him." This was the spark that really lit Janes' determination. She refused to let anyone else touch Asher as long as she was around.
"I wonder what they are talking about over there? Jane looks like she is pretty fired up, and that other girl with the tails looks like a cat playing with a toy." Asher was a little too far away to hear the conversation, he silently wished that he had some of his mothers' super hearing.
Art was next to him and also wondered what was going on, but he heard a few of the other students talking and realized that he had also heard of the girl Jane was facing. "Bro, that's the girl who got her evo shot on the first day of school this year. She already has a hero name, Nine tails. She is probably going to be an Olympic gymnast, but she wants to be a role model super hero."
"That's pretty lucky. If she can pull it off she won't need to fight a villain ever. Just her sport and tons of television appearances. She will be filthy rich." Asher knew exactly what a role model super hero was. They were plastered on every billboard and ad around. It was the face of hero corp. And the face of many social movements.

"You guys need to focus up. Jane is about to wipe the floor with that attention hog." Laura popped up eating some cheese crackers then dashed to Jackson and forced him to record the match for her so she could keep snacking.
"Shoot, get your phone out." Asher pulled his up and nearly bumped in to Louis who was trying to send the video he took to a group chat he was making.
"You guys have this one, I am making the group chat so we can all review together." Louis was fully focused on his phone and didn't even notice that there was an increased interest in Jane's match.
Garnet noticed the larger commotion and stepped through the campers from where she was watching. "You all need to calm down now! Stay back and give them room. Move any closer and I will deduct ten points for every second you are in the way!" Garnet was not playing around.
Jane heard Garnet and looked over, "I will be your referee for this match. The staff member will be keeping back the campers that get a little too excited." Garnets' harsh glare made everyone step back a few extra steps. They didn't feel like losing their points to a silly accident.
Jane stretched a little and felt that he blood was boiling. She had been pushed by this girl and it was getting to her. The weird part was that it was more than that. She could feel that the scales on her skin were hot too. Her hair even felt like it was moving more. Her entire body was fired up.
"I guess we should start then. Try and hang on as long as possible. I have a lot of points to make after I take over your little rotation here." Nine tails tempted Jane again, but this time it was her mistake to push.
