Now several weeks had pa.s.sed since the day Lily tried to enter the old training center. Lily, Leona, and Jacob had gotten a new team mate named Will Falchion. Will had actually shown up at the school the day after Lily tried to get into the old training center. Little was known about the boy. Though Felixi Tempus, the princ.i.p.al of the school, had deemed him worthy to be trained after Will had demonstrated his ability to control objects around him via telekinesis. Will is a fifteen year old boy with short blond messy hair, a average body build and skin tone that matched Lily"s, he even stood at around five foot five like Jacob. He would of course be their new addition to the team as the previous team he would have gone to got disbanded for unknown reasons.On Tuesday it was afternoon training day, and as usual Lily walked down a stone pathway towards the training building to meet up with her team. Will was already there waiting, while Leona and Jacob were coming down an alternate pathway. "Geez, you guys are late!" Will shouted and heard some laughs for a reply. "Ha ha, very funny Will. But as i recall you"re usually the one who"s late all the time." Lily said as she punched him lightly in the arm and they all walked into the familiar training center.
The object of today"s training was to get a small gla.s.s apple off of a pedestal in the middle of the room. Each team mate was told the rules, after they changed into their team uniform in the locker rooms, which were simply to get the apple at all costs while working as a team. "Well this should be easy!" Jacob shouted as he started to walk out towards the apple. A large pillar came crashing down in front of him from the ceiling. Jacob jumped and stumbled backwards avoiding the pillar before he was squished. "Or it won"t be as easy as you think." Lily said sticking her tongue out at Jacob as Will and Leona tried to hide their laughter.
"O.k, Will head over to that corner of the room, Leona head over to the corner opposite of Will"s, and Jacob.... just stay where you are and try not to get squashed." Lily commanded using simple hand gestures to point out corner a.s.signments before she made her way over to a corner like the others. Lily was like their unofficial team leader, she hadn"t lead them wrong at all since they became a team. When he was finally in his a.s.signed spot Will whistled a high pitch note, which signaled for them to start making for the apple, then ran forward dodging pillars while using his power to jam the pillars that came down towards the others from the walls and ceiling. Leona of course had been surrounded by pillars from the floor before she could move, and Jacob was stuck between two of them that were trying to squish him.
"Go! I"ll keep them up, just grab the apple!" Will shouted standing in place and focusing on keeping the pillars that were moving to squash Jacob and Leona still. Lily being the only free person ran out from her corner jumping through closing pillars and hurdling over small obstacles using what kids referred to as parkour to do so. She never skipped a beat while moving and kept a good pace till two walls came up around her and moved in to squish her between them. Only then did Lily jam her hands behind her and force out a gust of wind that launched her into the air, barely squeezing herself out from between the walls as they came together. She quickly gathered wind under her feet as she touched the ground and made a quick leap for the apple grabbing it just in time and holding it high for the others to see.
"I gots it!" Lily shouted happily as the pillars and walls from the ceiling/floor receded and Will stopped holding them in place. The simulation stopped once the apple was stolen and a voice could be heard over the loudspeakers. "Great work team Maverick. Now you may leave, have a great summer break!" Professor Flynn up in the control room said as Lily and her teammates left the room going into the locker rooms before back to their dorms. Will and Lily walked together while Leona and Jacob walked behind them as they exited the training center. "You simply got lucky, that"s all." Jacob told Lily as they walked. "Luck had nothing to do with it, Will stopped the pillars from crushing us so that she could move across and get it. All i saw you do is almost get squashed." Leona commented and Jacob shut up immediately, embarra.s.sed by his stupid actions. "Oh, don"t be so hard on him Leona. He didn"t know the pillars would come down at him, none of us did." Will told her using his modesty to win her over and get her to stop bashing on Jacob. "Well whether it was luck or not, you saved their hides out there, good work Will." Lily added as Leona and her turned off towards the girls dorms waving goodbye to the boys. "Good night!" they all shouted to each other in unison as they parted ways and left back to their respective dorm rooms for the evening.
