"WEIGHTS?"
"Not just any weights. I know most of you are at least one twenty; one hundred at the very least. So…."
"You want us to craft a one hundred pound weight?"
"No.
I want you to craft a two hundred weight.
Think about how much you weigh, all parts of you; and then try to pick that up. That…is what I want you to craft.
First to fourty reps with your new weights wins."
"I thought you told us yesterday that winning is not everything."
"Winning is not everything....but I didn't say it couldn't be one of the things.
And...…..go."
"Hmmmmmm. To lift one's own mass, you need too."
"Weeeeeee.
This is so fun.
One….two…."
"Kid…"
*Drop*
"Ouch…ouch.."
"See, I told you I could do it."
"Huh?
….It's stamped.
..No cheating."
"What?
Nobody is going to care if we follow the rules during a fight?"
"I'm not here to teach you how to cheat. You can easily pick up anything real. I don't care.
What I do care about is, once you master this; soon you'll need to make a rock appear; or a boulder; or be able to pick up cars by levitating them. If you don't know there weight...and yours...then how will a real life weight help?"
"But it will.
That's why Jacks were invented."
*Wack*
"Ouch. You're not supposed to slap me. That's Stephanies job."
"....I give him full passage."
"How's it coming?"
"Easy peasy lemon squeezy."
"From Football stars…."
"To pranky leaders..."
"And Ballerinas light on our feet."
"We definitely know how to lift our own weight."
"As well as having experience picking up others.
This is too easy.
What was the other part of the assignment again?"
*Ching*
"Done."
"Whaaa….but….he….she...they cheated. They were supposed to double their own weight. That's what you said. Not combine each others."
"I see no cheating involved.
I never told you you couldn't partner up."
"But you didn't say we could either."
"Will your enemy?"
"Uhhhh."
"No showing off. Your pride will be your teams down….side.
Everyone, finish up your reps, and from this point onwards, whenever you hear me talking; you know I am referring to partnering up. No individual competitions unless you are running the Course. Am I clear?"
"Crystal."
"What happens if our partners become sick, or are captured? What then? Can we go alone?"
"Join another. I want no Clicks whatsoever, but….if they do form.....then the class will be punished for it."
"Psst, I know when we can train on our own time without the presence of adults, but until then….we'll have to train on our own time.
Come on."
