What The Luck!? Chapter 124
Advertisement
It took you long enough to get over here. What were you doing? Napping?" Garnet had expected Asher to come right over the second that camo started. He had talked about his friends and their training so many times that it only made sense for him to bring them to show off and get some sparring in. Instead, she had waited and found that they were not coming.
"I have been here a while yet and the only campers that came were ones that wanted to check out what the field looked like. Only two so far have challenged each other and it was a rough match to watch." She was not happy with the slow influx of campers, they were always way too focused on the golden egg until they realized it was too hard to find.
" My friends and I were having a talk. Actually, since no one else is here I wanted to know if I could ask a favor?" Asher had hope that he would be able to trust Garnet with this. So far she was a tough personality but had proven to genuinely care for the camper's improvement.
"Since you're so serious I can at least listen. But no free points." She had seen a few campers try to gain free points with sob stories when they weren't doing well. It usually would stem from laziness.
"Nothing like that, we will earn our points. I was wondering if there was a private cabin that no one would bother us using to help Art practice his power. We have some reasons for keeping things a little less public. I can explain more if you need, but that is up to Art."
Art saw that Asher was fairly trusting of the head counselor and knew this must have come from the few days of camp he had been here so far. He took a shallow breath before deciding what he would say. "I need somwhere safe to practice my powers. They weren't what I was told they were. If I can't figure them out things can be tough." He tried his best tp avoid eye contact.

Garnet appeared a little shaken hearing this. "The last people that asked me for a private place tp practice their powers left camp early. Tell me what you are planning and I will help." This was a shock to Asher. He had expected some form of pushback but the pained expression on Garnet's face was not one he believed to be possible.
"I won't be leaving for anywhere. I need to understand what I can do so I can face my brother. I will be a hero and that is final. But Asher said I can put my trust in you so here I am. Please help us become stronger." Art held out a hand to make a deal. Garnet had expected him to act differently. She thought that a past event was going to repeat itself here today.
"Find that golden egg and I will let all three of you use the luxury cabin. There is eniugh room to take shifts. Asher can explain why it is so important. But not a word to the other campers. I will be tracking your improvement and setting up a plan." Garnet had gained her tone of steel again. She could see in Art's eyes that he was not burdened by the weight of the world.
The two shook hands making their deal. "But first, you are going to show me everything you learned from that coach of yours." Garnet was doing the same thing to Art and Jane that she had done to Asher. The only thing left was to watch as Art tried to withstand the onslaught. Art had received the warning but he was not ready for the sudden change in seriousness.
Art went through the same form of exchanges that Asher had. However Asher could see that art's movements were muchmore stiff than his. He would fight with a firm base and put out solid hits and blocks. He was trying to be a wall unlike Asher who moved with the flow. His style was one that relied of strength and toughness, unfortunately for him, Garnet had more strength and toughness.

Art was reduced to a pile on the ground in just a few minutes leaving Garnet to run down the style he was starting to make. She promised him that she would have more detail once they managed to get to the luxury cabin. Her gaze fell on Jane next which was eniugh to make Jane flinch.
"Your turn now, show me this explosive speed burst that Asher has been bragging about." Jane gave Asher a look, she felt that she had been betrayed. Her secrets had already been given away.
Asher knew that he was in for a rough time training later since Jane would be sure to get some revenge when sparring aginst him. This match went much differently. Jane had started ti rely in string kicks keeping a little more distance. Asher had expected this sort of style since she had the perfect figure to take advantage of a solid kick. The bonus of her speed was that she could switch to a closer punch in the blink of an eye.
Garnet let a small smile show when Jane switched like this the first time. She had expected a burst of speed in to a harsh kick but was met with a furious punch toward her unguarded side, which made her dodge. Jane tried to emphisize on this by pushing forwards again, however this was a fatal mistake.
Garnet was able to grab the next kick, perfectly predicting it. The next thing Jane knew she was being thrown through the air and in a perfect body lock. Garnet waited for only a few seconds before releasing her and explaining the flaws in her patterns. Jane was falling in to a habit of constantly repeated combos. This was a downfall of martial artists that followed the same practice too often.
"I will make sure this and more is factored in to what I want you all to do. Now go find that egg, Asher. I need the campers to get serious instead of chasing a dream." Garnet had a feeling that Asher would find the golden egg anyways.

School-life & Swordfights: A Clubs and Stubs Tale
Warning: Clubs and Stubs contains strong language and situations throughout that may not be suitable for younger readers. "This story takes place in a fantasy world with a modernish setting. It mainly follows four students of Hardires High School who are members of one of the greatest Team Arena Squads in the history of gladiatorial school athletics. Already two-time high-school world champions, they have entered their fourth and final year of high school in hopes of capturing a third straight world championship—something that no other school on the continent has accomplished. As they prepare for an upcoming match with a rival school, it becomes evident that keeping their two-and-a-half-year winning streak alive will be tougher than expected. As both personal and external problems abound for the student-gladiators, can they manage to keep it together under the constant pressure of being the perfect fighting unit? A blend of action, drama, adventure, and humor collide in this brand-new series!" Thanks so much for checking out my story! This is the first time that I've released any of my work to a public space so any feedback, be it positive or negative (but please be respectful if so) would be greatly appreciated. I'm hoping that this story is only the beginning of a long-running series of short stories set in the Clubs and Stubs universe. Temporary Book Cover Design by David Watson The release schedule is rather tentative, but the goal is to release a chapter every 2-4 days. I want to make sure that every scene is the best it can be before it’s released, so it may take a bit longer especially if it's a longer chapter. However, no chapter should take more than a week to be released. Each scene varies in length, but are usually between 1,000 to 2,000 words.
