[i]'No powers!? Uh-oh...'[/i] Casper felt his entire being drop into the pit of his stomach as this drill sergeant began talking, or rather, [i]barking[/i]. First off, everyone needed to run a few laps and this was good, Casper could manage that without drawing any attention to himself. He hadn't heard anything about the cafeteria incident and that meant that it had either passed, cooled off or these people simply hadn't heard of it yet. Either way, it helped. The last thing Casper wanted was to be in this guy's crosshairs. He was [i]scary[/i] to say the [i]least[/i]. The way he treated Mason was beyond unacceptable, and that other girl...Lynn? She seemed incredibly dissatisfied with the situation. Of course she was, no one wanted to be there. 

Keeping his eyes on the ground as he jogged, Casper deliberately ran slower than his new powers would prefer. It was actually a chore to do so as his newfound strength easily carried him with speed, even more so because of his small stature. Of course, his powers hadn't increased his stamina but given the fact that his weight was literally [i]nothing[/i] to him, he would automatically be able to carry himself for longer than before. 

The boy could however not say anything. He wanted to run up to Mason and see if he was alright but if he did that, he would just turn this military a-hole on him further. Checking up on his friend would only hurt him and that realisation made the boy clench his teeth in frustration. He had to drop it, Mason would survive this lesson and afterwards they could lick their wounds. 

If anyone was paying attention, one would notice how Casper was deep in thought as he ran, the excerice barely even affecting his condition, if at all. His breath wasn't heavy, not yet. He didn't seem tired and the jogging exercise would almost look like an absentminded action while his thoughts were elsewhere. The sudden stop would however bring him back to attention and the boy stopped dead in his tracks, turning his attention to the teacher. [i]'Please don't look at me...'[/i] Casper knew exactly how tired he used to get during these exercises before his mutation developed. He would be worse off than Mason but as it was, one could think that Casper had been sitting at the sidelines the whole time. 

[i]'Fifty situps...!? Oh God...'[/i] Clenching his fists, Casper lowered himself to the ground and placed his hands on both sides of his frame. He hadn't done this since he got his powers and now that he was forced to do it, the outcome was scary. It didn't feel like he was lifting [i]anything[/i]. Each push up felt like he was a feather and if he did it too fast he would throw himself to the ground. 

"Son!" The boy would hear a familiar voice. "Ain't no way in hell you can do that without even breakin' a sweat! You ain't even out of breath!" 

"S-sorry...sir..." Casper stopped at twenty pushups and rose to his feet. The droplet of sweat traveling down his forehead was less because of the physical strain and more so out of fear for this man. 

"I said no powers, didn't I!?" 

"Y-yes, sir..." Casper nodded, feeling his heartbeat accelerate due to the man's constant barking. 

"Get your ass down and give me a hundred, [i]without[/i] powers!" 

"B-but...I can't turn them off, sir..." Casper responded, taking a step back, unable to keep his eyes on the teacher. 

"Ain't no bullshit like that, son! You can turn em' off and you will!" 

Without saying another word, Casper offered a soft nod and got back down to the ground, everyone's eyes now on him. He did another pushup, slowly and carefully. Still, this was so new to him. He couldn't even fake the strain because there was [i]nothing[/i] there. It was like pretending that paper was heavy. 

"Oh you're just enjoyin' this, ain'tcha!?" The teacher stopped the boy and ordered him to stand again. "Detention! Go and sit your ass down!" 

"B-but..." 

"What was that!?" 

Clenching his teeth again, Casper wanted to just disappear. How the hell did he get into this situation by doing [i]pushups[/i]? Without another word, the boy sat down at the edge of the scene and sighed slightly. This was so humiliating. He still hadn't gotten used to his powers, far from it actually. This was the first time he had exercised with them. How would this end...?
