"Critical thinking. That is the key." Asher spoke in almost a whisper but everyone in the group heard him.
"What do you an? We have already been thinking hard on how we do things and how we can use our super powers." Louis was the one who had changed his thinking the most to manipulate the lighting.
"Exactly, we have also changed the way we train constantly to adapt and learn more." Art was also thinking the sa as Louis but related it to the physical training they did on top of sparring constantly with each other.
"We also study like it's going out of style." Laura was the one that studied the least but her grades were already pretty high compared to everyone else and she had never really needed to study more.
"No, I'm not saying we need to change anything. But we need to think differently while under pressure.. Cara was able to figure out how to change the way she moved when the ice changed the terrain. We can't do sothing like that yet. If I had been down there, even with my luck, I would have been at a massive disadvantage. If we can learn to adapt that fast to things then it will truly put us ahead. We were just handed even more tools to do that."
"Asher is right, I would have lost even if I used my super power to stop that guy in his place, he would have been able to look at with other eyes and probably freeze . I can't move and focus on freezing soone in place at the sa ti. I just figured that out watching but I needed to do that while fighting? I have no idea of I could have learned that." Jane was backing up Asher and was also beginning to realize just how true it all was.
"How would we even train that?" Jackson and Sammy spoke almost in unison causing the two to instantly beco silent and look off in separate directions.
"Well, from what I can see, pressure. Cara didn't change and adapt until she was in a situation where she was going to get beaten. She didn't use her super power but I am pretty sure it was to show exactly what happened. She wanted people to see that she could adapt. Also, if I rember right, she had to use her super power to beat that kid last year. She directly showed off her growth to everyone she will compete against." Asher knew that his sister had just made a huge statent to everyone.
"Well, let's hope that girl that's top of the class heard the statent because she just won her match over there." Louis had seen the referee raising the girl's hand in victory.
"Cara should be able to beat her. Especially if she used similar tactics to the running race. You all saw it or watched the video right?" Art had made sure that everyone had sent their videos of the Ricktor tournants.
"Think she can confuse and tornt her like she did the other runners?" Sammy rembered the tactic clearly.
"She could. If she does then it will really ss up concentration. But she could just do that by making a loud noise…" Jackson wasn't catching on to what was going to be the best strategy to use.
"We can see what she does now. The round looks like it combined and Cara is one of the last four out there. I'm pretty sure the kid she is fighting is that one that can shift in to a red skinned minotaur bull thing. It's from Greek mythology too. But less cool and just normal shifter without the powers like Jane." This was sothing that Laura had seen around school and found interesting. The main reason she had morized it was because she related it to this mythology and she thought Jane might find it interesting.
"So is his power actually minotaur of the maze or sothing like mine is dusa?" Jane felt like she might have found soone similar to her before Laura answered.
"No, he is just raging bull transformation. Not the sa but a lot of people nick nad him minotaur and Taurus." Laura knew this was not what Jane wanted to hear but it was the truth.
"Hey, it's another shifter to watch. I bet you can still learn sothing. Especially if his super power is called raging bull transformation. If he becos raging then I bet he has issues controlling emotions when he shifts. It would be the sa for you so we can see how he flights and adapts." Asher made sure he put the silver lining in the air for Jane. He wanted everyone to focus up as the match began.
"If I knew I would be fighting you I would have brought a hamr to knock you out or sothing. That hard head of yours will be annoying." Cara knew that the opponent in front of her would be physically tough.
"Just because my head is harder than yours and I have the defense to take a hit doesn't an I can't roll in a fight, Cara. And please, just keep things ta. The last ti you got all angry I broke seven walls and four of the shackles they used in the gym."
"I know, but you are way to nice right now. You are supposed to be fighting you know? Even if I call you those nicknas I know you aren't the raging bull. But since we need to show off a little...Bring it on Billy Bull." Cara knew Billy hated being called this and it would put him in to his angry state.
"You did this to yourself." Steam ca from Billy's nose as a reaction to his most hated nick na that had caused him endless tornt before he gained control of his super powers.
The horns that had shown up labeling him as a shifter began to shift and beco sharp, Red fur overtook his skin and his muscles hardened. The shift was heating his body and steam continued to co from every breath. When Cara saw all of this she felt like she had made a huge mistake. But she knew that this was the only way for one of the nicest people in her class and herself to properly show off their super powers and the ways they were used.
Only those that had properly t Billy and spoken to him knew that the rage unfused monster he turned in to was a completely different being. He was strong and had learned a lot to beco a hero that was dedicated to rescuing and healing. The super power he received had been just barely enough for him to pass as super strength.
However, that was all it had done in regards to the normal state. He had horns, yes, but that was all that separated him. Other than the first day he got bullied and the few tis those who didn't know of him bullied him he was the average shifter. But when he shifted his rage rook form and he beca the worst aspect of himself.
Yet, for so reason his desire to heal and rescue leaked through showing it was the strongest of emotions he had. This was still not enough, he was still radically different. He would power through with ten tis the strength he had before and crush anything in his path. His body could take hits from even the strongest opponents and pain was nothing. Instead of just rescuing people he would rule a situation. He would also lose most of his ability to communicate in exchange for a massive boost to his instincts.
Cara knew that she needed to use her speed to dodge at all costs. The strength that Billy had in the shifted form was insane. The fact that he had calmly defended and taken down opponents until this point was a testant to this. Now that he had his boosted strength Cara was sure that she could suffer an instant knock out.
Billy's fist moved like a wrecking ball toward her. The rumble of the ground and the entire gym was enough to put all eyes on the pair. Even though Billy was in a rage state he had managed to hold back sowhat.
"You think I don't know that you are still holding your shift back? You are usually a whole foot taller than that. Maybe we should start to spar again so you can make another improvent. You are one of my biggest rivals." Cara joked a little but saw that her joke was nothing to Billy in his shifted form. He just lowered his head and charged at her.
Cara slid on her knees to dodge the horns but was bumped by Billy's knee and pushed back to the edge of their ring. She took a deep breath in to stand again and fell in to her stance. However, Asher noticed one slight change in her stance from the usual. Cara was letting her hands stay by her jacket zippers. She had a plan and he knew it.
