What The Luck!?

"Watch how she is sizing her opponent up. You might not see every detail of her face through that mask, but she is looking at every part of her opponent's physique. This is an important step to take in a battle. If the super power is physical, it is even more important." Jane was giving her opponent a once over while they prepared to spar. One of the staff members was leading them to an ideal spot of ground away from others.

"Your friend looks like she has a quick mind. Even looking at me I could feel her eyes on me." Garnet's compliment did not go ignored by the three standing next to her. They saw this as an emphasis on how to act when in any situation. Garnet may just be highlighting the sparring aspect, but in general life, it could help in many ways.

The staff member asked the two if they were ready and upon their responses started the battle. Jane held back and let her opponent come to her. Garnet was watching intently waiting for the first attack to start her commentary.

The girl with bone patches on her skin stepped forward with a direct jab. The first she used was covered in the bone and would make a harder hit if it made contact. Jane used her speed to sidestep the jab and aimed one of her own.

"That was the right move. Her opponent was already moving forward and favoring the one hand covered in bone." Jane came in to contact with the girl, her jab landing on her shoulder which had no bone on it. "Then she jabbed at an unprotected area. Since the opponent with the bone protection has them, they will be used to feeling less pain. At the end of the day, even a small hit will feel worse since they are not used to pain any longer."

Garnet's words struck true and the girl with bone patches staggered back holding her shoulder. Her breath was sharp and she was very unhappy with the hit she had taken. Out of adrenaline she rushed forward again but was surprised by Jane's speed. "That was a nice bait. She managed to trick her opponent in to rushing her and then use a burst of speed to dodge and..."

Jane let out a combo of two jabs and a solid kick to the girl with patches of biomes back. It was a brutal attack aiming for the weaker points of the girl's body. However, Jane lept back flashing her hand. One of her jabs had partially hit one of the bone patches.

"The combo was good, but she didn't know about the bone patches under the girl's clothing. That and her jab was less precise since she moved and twisted too suddenly. She will need to improve execution, but was able to put together the strategy very well." Garnet was impressed, but also saw clearly the things that needed improvement.

The girl with bone patches fell forward after Jane's hits and tried to get up, but just like Garnet had said, she was not used to the pain. She tapped out of the sparring match before she could even start to stand up. The staff member waved for a medical staff member to check out the wounds. "I doubt that girl is hurt much, but she isn't used to pain due to her new super power acting as an armor. The best thing she could do is pain tolerance training."

"How should she go about pain tolerance training?" Art was the one to ask this. The theory of making himself metal armor was still fresh in his mind. If he did this he could befall the same problem as the girl with bone patches.

"Curious? You could do with a little armor, it would help with those heavy swings. There are many ways. Some train specific parts of their body like punching a wooden dummy. Or you can train in harsh temperatures. The extreme cold, or heat, or even storms would improve your mental strength for pain and discomfort." Garnet had used some of these herself and was living proof they worked.

Jane jogged over to them and looked at Garnet first. "Your speed and strategy are your strengths. But you need to work on the precision and timing of your moments. Before anything go get that hand checked out. You definitely dislocated that pinky finger." Garnet saw right through Janes as she tried to hide her finger.

"What!? Are you Alright? Come on let's get a staff member." Asher was shocked that Jane was holding back her pain to run over to them. He couldn't believe she would do something so reckless.

"What did you think?" Her voice was a little hesitant as she went with Asher while holding her hand.

"About your match? She wasn't even close to being able to hurt you. She was just lucky. Garnet commentated on the match and we all got a lesson on sizing up our opponents. I learned a lot." Asher's bright smile made Jane's heart leap. She had gotten more than just simple praise.

"Then it was worth it." She didn't feel any pain at that moment. The good feeling outweighed the bad. Sadly, they did not last. As the staff member saw her finger and set the dislocation back in place Jane was reminded of the pain of the world.

"Keep it taped like this overnight and put ice on it. Go to the medial cabin later and have them use some of the bruise reducing cream on it." The staff member issued the treatment then ran off to another match about to start.

"Here, I grabbed the ice pack." Asher placed the cooling Ice pack on Jane's hand and she could already feel the magic starting to work.

"If I have been a little more to the left I wouldn't have hit that bone piece. That girl was tough." She felt embarrassed having everyone see her make such a blunder. But Asher sitting with her and helping her was a better reward than she had expected for winning.
