"Welcome back from your camp experiences. Look forward to how you have all bettered yourselves. I won't hold you all back and jump right in to class. We will start with match page one hundred and eleven." Mr. Smith didn't waste any time and jumped right in to class. The students were slightly bummed out that they didn't have the chance to talk about their camp activities. However, this disappeared when they found that Me. Smith was giving them a free period instead of extracurricular.
"Well what did you expect? Cara has been training harder for like, a year or two. She also has been pushing herself lately since she feels like you and Art are trying to catch her." Jane said this full of confidence.
"How do you know? You sound like she said it to you." Art didn't want to believe that Cara had already been increasing the level of her work outs to stay way ahead of him and Asher.
"Umm, she did. We message each other a bunch after her birthday. We are the best of friends." Jane took the chance to try and get Art with a soft punch. Art tried to dodge but sadly his shoelace was caught on the desk and he instead leaned in to the hit. It was his punishment for doubting Janes' word.
"Huh, I didn't think you would get along so well with my sister. But I guess that is for the better since you will be around for a long time." Asher meant this in the sense that they were in a hero group together.
However, Jane took this in a much different way, there were dreams of dating and marriage in her mind and she couldn't control herself. She became red as she thought about it more. It was nearly causing steam to blow from her head by the time someone else moved the conversation on.
"Do you think Coach Winters is going to make things extra tough on us since we went to camp Jewell? Garnet had her test of our skills since Coach Winters was well, our coach." Art had realized that they had Coach Winters's class today. His fear that she was going to push them to show off all their skills to see how her rival was doing was forefront in his mind.
"I think we can bet that she will. There is no way that she won't want to see what we learned and if her rival is able to teach us anything she couldn't. I don't know if we should hold back so that he won't get angry that we learned so much or if we should go all out because she will get angry if we don't show her everything we have." Asher was pondering the pros and cons of each choice.
"We should go all out. Coach Winters had plenty of things left to teach us. Garnet just has the resources to get better, but does coach winters have them? I didn't see an elite home gym system to train with but she is able to somehow rival Garnet." Jane shivered a little afraid of Coach Winters. It was clear she had a much harsher personal training and stronger self discipline.
'You know, with that in mind….maybe we should head over early." Art stood up wanting to make sure that he kept coach Winters in the best mood possible. He wanted to avoid any extra laps while was in class today.
At the bell, the three were already in the gym clothes for Coach Winters' martial arts class. They were the only three standing in the gym so far because some had dropped the class and others were still getting changed.
"We have dropped to only seven students after the camps. This is normal since many of you found new things you wish to pursue. But remember, if you leave I will never let you come back here." Coach Winters was not the happiest about seeing her student count decrease.
"Never! This is the best class!" Art spoke up his instant reply caused Asher to hold back his laughter. He couldn't believe how afraid Art had gotten from being gone for so long from the harsh but fair coach Winters.
"You three went to camp Jewell, right? How is that rock brained fool doing? She accidentally sink to the bottom of her little river yet? Or maybe a mud pit?" The sharp glare she gave them said that she wouldn't accept any answer but the truth.
"Garnet is doing well. She said that she is very motivated to enter the Ricktor tournament this year at her age division and beat the person that stole the first place from you two." Asher didn't even consider lying.
"Stole the first place from me. But I will let it slide for now. She better not have led you all poorly. Let's see what she taught you. Everyone find a sparring partner and have a match!" The shout went out and the students followed suit.
Coach Winters approached Asher, Jane, and Art with a look of seriousness. "You three are going to be with me. I expect you to show me the best you have after your week, especially you Asher. You had three extra days." This was more terrifying than anything before since Coach Winters was expressly looking at Asher.
She first pulled them toward the area with the instructional videos. "I want you all to watch the blocking videos. I know that we will get to that next week but I want you three starting on it now." This was interesting since Asher had expected to start right in to a match. But instead found himself holding a stack of videos on different blocking techniques. "You will have a week to learn it before they need to be back."
The three took the videos and ran to place them in their lockers for later. When they returned Coach Winters had cleared a spot on the mats for them to show off their moves. "Now, let's see what you learned."
