Asher rolled to his feet as he felt the bruising starting on his knuckles. They had only scraped Laura's shoulder but it was more than enough to cause him damage. 'What f I have hit her dead on?' Asher could only imagine the breaking of his bones and shivered.

Laura groaned as she made herself stand up. She was holding her shoulder and looking a little grass stained from sliding after her fall. "Round two." Her breath was slightly ragged after falling and having the air forced from her, but this was not the end all be all of how tough she was.

She had made a lot of mistakes the first few weeks of getting her powers. After she had been given the right medications and gotten her weight back at the doctor's Laura was left to figure out her power. She had no bearing for how to move, she couldn't hold anything back nor could he mind keep up with the way her body moved.

Doors, dressers, even cords became huge obstacles since she would not be able to make her body stop fast enough to get it to avoid these things in her path. This was much worse when other people were added in to the mix, she could guess where they would go but if she was wrong she would more or less tackle them. Just walking through the halls of the school is a dangerous activity for her.

Asher was already starting his next attack since he could see that Laura was about to spring forward again. He had his body turning and his leg kicking out so that he could try and avoid injury and trip her. Laura bounded forward and aimed to flat out tackle Asher this time.

Garnet had started to realize that Laura had no means of properly attacking. There was no combat knowledge and only speed. This meant that Laura wouldn't be able to properly defend against Asher's attacks even if she knew how.

Laura came in to contact with Asher's low kick and was not able to make her body step over it in time. "Ahgg!" Asher felt the force of a truck hitting his leg and was knocked on the ground again. He tried to roll out of it but the strange angle put him on his back.

Laura was much worse off and was sent tumbling for a few feet. She had not done anything to slow the force and was now covered in new bruises and some scratches. She cursed herself for being unable to keep up with the way her body moved and made the decision to force hearseslf to move slower.

Asher was already standing and waiting for the next burst of speed to come at him. However, he saw that Laura was getting up and taking very slow steps towards him. 'What is she playing at? Will she jump at me super fast out of nowhere?' His thoughts raced as he tried to figure out what Laura was trying to do.

When Laura got in closer to Asher he used a basic jab which she was able to easily dodge. The fact that she was still not using the blinding speed from before was not lost of him. The fight had become a little easier to map out for Garnet who could see that Laura had learned a very minimal self defense technique which was often taught in elementary school children.

Asher was on edge because he believed that if he sent out a big attack then Laura would use a burst of speed to attack. Instead, he stuck to his own small jabs and avoided the larger kicks. After about the fourth he ducked in and used his elbow to push forward.

He felt the contact on Laura's chest and turned slightly more red, but he followed through none the less. Laura was pushed off her feet and landed on her back again. Asher had no experience in holds or body locks and just did his best to use a knew to pin her down. His hands held hers so she couldn't fight back and his eyes rested on Garnet who would be calling the match.

"Asher wins. I'm pretty surprised that you're so forward with woman." Asher looked at his position and rushed to get up from the pinning of Laura. He had a bright red face but realized that Laura was in a worse shape. Her hands were shaking as she dug in to her pockets and stuffed one of the nutrient pills in her mouth. Once a few minutes passed by she finally sat up and looked at Garnet and Asher.

"Sorry about that, I moved too fast and burned up a lot of energy." She had not eaten since breakfast which was a huge problem for her. She needed eight meals a day to stay ahead of her metabolism.

"From now on you have free access to the cafeteria, I refuse to be the reason you can not train properly." Garnet had overlooked this being an issue and decided that she should remedy the mistake before anything gets worse.

"So that is why you slowed down. I thought that you were slow at frits then going to get in close and use a super fast move to beat me." Laura was kicking herself as she heard Asher's thoughts. If she had done that she would have won faster, she knew it.

"There are plenty of other things you could have done. Let's go and sit down to review the match. Also, you need to get some ointment on those scratches, I can't believe you haven't practiced enough to avoid this kind of damage." Garnet was already formulating a training plan.

"I have only been able to figure out my super power for a few weeks. If I had more time I could be farther along. It's just really hard to keep up with the way my body moves." Hearing this Garnet was able to properly understand what Laura's main problem was. Mental processing. She would now be centering the training plan for Laura around mental exercises instead of physical.
