Chapter 193 - 193. Lessons Learned
"I can\'t believe we still needed to do a work out after all that." Sammy was not feeling the love at the moment due to the combination of her sore arms and now soon to be sore legs.
"It could have been worse. We are lucky we didn\'t talk our way in to worse." Jackson knew that they had been at Garnet\'s whim and that she could have made the entire work out worse if she had so desired.
"We could still do the whole work out if we wanted. I wouldn\'t mind it too much. I am going to work out anyway when I get to the luxury cabin." Asher said this making most of his friends look at him like he was crazy.
"What? I didn\'t run around blind the entire time. I was able to see so I took things slower and made my way to Louis and Sammy easily. If I was like some people we were captured right off the start then maybe I would need even more of a work out." Asher was sure that there were some people that ran around more than the others and didn\'t need the work out but those people were already far ahead of the others anyways.
"Let\'s just go and sleep. I am sooo done with running around. I want to sleep and then go back to the obstacle course and beat more people." Laura was not having it for another second. She had already made the decision and was heading toward the cabins.
"I wouldn\'t mind going to the obstacle course in the morning." Art had still not done the obstacles properly and wanted to see what the course was like. He also wanted to give beating Laura a shot, he knew she would be faster but maybe he would get lucky and somehow manage to beat her.
"Then let\'s go and rest a little. Asher, Art, and I will walk with you to the luxury cabin." Jane was trying to make sure that the others wouldn\'t figure out that they were all staying in the luxury cabin to train. She felt it would make them feel bad and try to argue it with Garnet and cause drama.
"See you all later, remember Laura, we are going to crush your record," Asher shouted his challenge at Laura who just yawned and waved at them. She had two goals and wasn\'t going to turn around, she needed food and sleep.
The group split off with Louis heading away with Jackson to try and set up a camp outside. It seemed that Louis wanted to spend more time away from people and practice his super power. Sammy was off with Laura because she wanted to be with someone and split the points of the regular cabins. Art, Asher, and Jane went to the luxury cabin and were soon starting the rotation they had used before. It would take them in to the morning a little but it was fine since the elite home gym system could set up their resting periods to allow their bodies proper sleep.
Meanwhile Garnet was dealing with the mess of staff members that had been surprised. "You were all caught off guard by so many campers at once. I understand this. But why is it that they were so easily able to find the place we were holding the campers?"
Garnet was grilling those staff members who had been caught in Asher\'s path. She was not surprised to hear that he had told his friend to zap them if they did not cooperate. She knew that this was a decent strategy to get information as long as it was not malicious or to cause harm.
The staff member that Louis had accidentally zapped was already moving around normally and just had a slight twitch here and there since the muscles were still recovering. She made sure to see what their camp nurses said on the matter so that she could properly warn the other staff of this danger.
"I\'ve added electrical resistant rubber based gear to everyone\'s uniform for the next few days. I do not expect us to need it much but if we need to contact Louis again we will be safer. This is almost as bad as the kid with fire dancing as a super power. I thought it was just a dancing skill but the next thing we knew the kid was dancing around making flames that looked like a full ballet with them."
Garnet was additionally stressed by this development but had so much gear in the storage cabin for exactly these reasons. "Now there is also the problem of not being able to see. I know you will all need rest tomorrow so do not worry about the camp. However, I expect you all to get something done while you are not dealing with campers." Garnet handed out lists and lists of cleaning for indoor cabins. This was the safest thing they could do to rest their eyes out of the light of the sun.
With the staff taken care of Garnet went towards a smaller cabin that had a few metal receivers on the top. She sat down to a room full of monitors and night vision camera feeds. She had the entire training recorded and was going to be letting the computer program make notes and edits. She just needed to be there to review the actions of the campers and make sure the proper names went with the prosper reports.
By the time the campers were awake, they would have a detailed report of what they can improve on and what they are strong at already. This was the bonus that they received after doing the night training and it would give them a head start in the hero world. The abilities to react in these situations were major for a hero or any law enforcement, medical, and other similar careers. She would also be able to check out the actions of the staff members as they pretended to be prisoners and capture the campers. It would go to improve the night training over time to push the campers\' mental states more. She clicked on some music and went to work.
