What The Luck!? Chapter 219
Advertisement
Jane was victim to Asher's blind punch unable to block and fell once again. This was the last attack she could handle and used her energy to put her fogged mask on. "I am done. Mask on and I admit defeat!" Jane couldn't say this fast enough as she struggled to catch her breath.
"What happened there? You were so slow like you had just woken up.' Asher was worried that he had pushed Jane too far. However, this couldn't be the case since she was still in her full super powered form.
"I don't know. After I was stuck from reflecting in your eyes everything slowed down. Or at least it was like I was walking through pudding or something.' Jane was having a hard time describing the feeling since she knew that it was unique to her.
"Wait, did you just say you are affected by your power if you see your reflection?" Garnet heard this and was struck by many training ideas, "I will adjust your training to counter these things."
"Hey, since Jane can't turn anyone to stone can we get a volunteer to help with testing the effects of her super power?" Asher suddenly yelled out attracting one brave boy from the movie club.
"Sure thing, I love greek mythos and want to feel the real medusas' glare.' He sounded nerdy but was courageous enough for them to ignore it.
"Alright, thank you in advance. I will let you look at me then when you unfreeze tell me what you feel." Jane was slightly worried because she still felt fuzzy and slow.
"Let's do thi-" The boy froze in place the moment Jane removed her mask. She quickly placed it back on and the boy started to move again. "I...can...take…" His speech became far apart and slow along with his motions being slowed as well.

"Sio instead of just unfreezing they now act slow and foggy after they stop looking at you. That is pretty great. You won't need to hold people in your gaze anymore and can just slow them down." Asher found this amazing. He was even slightly jealous of Jane's full super power being so useful.
"With this, I can affect multiple enemies at once!" Jane was excited to see this and was already counting the second in her head. The other campers had turned around to find her mask back on but a volunteer acting strange while Asher and Jane watched. They also thought it odd that Garbnet had become so invested in her phone.
"Five minutes! that is the limit that someone si slow. Thank you again for your help." Jane thanked the boy for the third time.
"No, that was very informative. I feel like I learned a lot."
"You deserve points for assisting us. You are allotted an additional fifteen points for helping me see the future training she will need." Garnet had already sent Jane multiple trainings to do with her eyes closed to gain a feeling for her surroundings. She knew that this would be important in case she was in a situation where she could see her own reflection without a mask.
The boy was ecstatic and rushed off to go buy his items back from the cabin. He had brought a portable DVD player and wanted to watch a movie tonight. This was the best day yet for him since he had only managed to with two matches here. His points had mostly come from hiking and the obstacle course.
"Yeah, yeah. Jane learned more about her power. Congratulations. But I just beat my last match I needed to challenge you too." Art had waited patiently but knew that if he let Asher rest too long he would lose any advantage he might have.

"Oh? You think you could take me on when you can't even lay a finger on Jane?" Asher wasn't playing around. He had yet to face Art with the metal weights on and knew that Art would be able to knock him off his feet easily. He also remembered that this would add to Art's speed and make it harder to dodge.
"We will see what you say when I show you the moves I have been working on." Art took up a stance in the space they had cleared causing the campers around to become excited yet again.
"Jane, come over here and read the changes in the training I just sent you. I will start their match." Garnet called Jane over who was already reverting to her normal appearance. She had already taken on a slight pale appearance and was met by Laura who had snacks to share with her. She remembered that this shift took a heavy toll on Jane and that she would need to recover for some time.
"Thank you Garnet. I will read it carefully and work hard later tonight." Garnet was glad to hear this and moved in to start the next match.
Asher and Art were both rearing to go. Asher was still full of energy from his match with Jane and was not going to lose it easily. Instead, this was like a continuation of his match and would continue to test him. Art on the other hand had rested slightly before he went against Asher and felt that he was refreshed enough to catch him off guard.
"Begin!" Garnet did not waste any time and sent the two at each other. The reaction was instant and they were both charging forward. Garnet thought that Asher had lost his mind since she knew that Arty had the high ground on strength. Yet, when Asher dropped his level and tried to throw Art she knew he had planned his moves.
"Can't catch me that way!" Art rose his led and sent his knee at Asher's head. This was a move he had picked up while training with the elite home gym system. The system had seen his straightforward and rigid moves which fit perfectly or using elbow and knees to attack.
Asher had no idea this was going to happen due to the fact that it was the first time Arty had used the move in front of him. It was a complete and unprecedented surprise.

Shadowrun: Blake Island School of Magic
It's a high tech, low life. It's the Seattle Metroplex in 2074. It rises like a steel and concrete cancer out of the earth. Poverty is rampant, corruption is everywhere, crime is out of control, corporations basically control everything, the old United States is fractured, magic has come back and now it turns out that humanity has been joined by elves, dwarves, orks and trolls. The old world ended but the rent is still due. Life goes on. You'd be surprised what people can adapt to, especially if they don't have a choice. One of the places where life goes on is just west of Seattle. Surrounded by the waters of the Puget Sound is an island. On that island is the Blake Island School of Magic. A decade ago it was known for producing some of the most talented awakened in the world. That reputation was hijacked by the wealthy corporate elite who now park their teenage children there. And since it's a boarding school, their parents mostly forget about them. Three young people, who are certainly not wealthy or elite, are chosen this year to attend this school of magic in hopes of revitalizing their reputation for talent. One from the ash drifts of the Puyallup Barrens, one from the most densely populated slum hive in the world and one from prison. This is their story. -- This story is set in the Shadowrun universe. If you're not familiar with Shadowrun, it mostly tells the stories of deniable mercenaries called shadowrunners in a cyberpunk dystopia. Instead of telling another story solely about shadowrunners, this story will tell the tale of young people navigating a world that is indifferent to them at best and actively hostile at worst. Shadowrunners will be in the story and we'll see them operate, but they won't be its main focus. This story originally began in 2017 as a passion project and continues to this day on the Somethingawful.com forums. The unedited version is over a million words strong. There are currently seven books in this series and I am currently in the process of editing them. If you read this story then you won't lack for content. -- The Topps Company, Inc. has sole ownership of the names, logo, artwork, marks, photographs, sounds, audio, video and/or any proprietary material used in connection with the game Shadowrun.
