What The Luck!? Chapter 133
Advertisement
Laura had been feeling embarrassed and frustrated that Asher had beaten her so easily. She held no grudge against him, bit held one against herself. This was because she had not properly practiced with her super power. She couldn't even stop herself when she was at her fastest speed. It was more than embarrassing.
Garnet had been up late preparing some small things for later in the week. On her walk to her own personal cabin, she found Laura out in the woods training. This was more than just a simple surprise for her. It was against the impression she had built upon first meeting her.
When Garnet saw her, Laura was moving as slow as possible to learn the control of her body as she moved. This looked simple since she was just stepping around and over logs. However, for Laura, moving this slowly was a harsh chore. Her faster metabolism pushed her body to move faster so matter what. This was great for getting to what she wanted to do, but her mind was always lagging.
Since she wasn't used to the speed her body moved compared to the speed it used to move she would train at the fastest pace she had the most control. Forcing herself to slow down was a strain on her endurance due to the fact that her body was made to go faster. The slow steps were like holding an exercise position instead of walking normally for her.
The mental drain of this and the challenge of keeping up with her own movements gave Laura a much better handle on how she moved in general, The results of this all night long training were showing in her actions at the start of her match.
Jane was standing face to face with an average looking guy. He had no distinguishing features other than his slightly more athletic body. Laura had no idea what his super power was but didn't pay it any mind. She was too focused on controlling her mind so that she wouldn't rush off and attack her opponent the second the staff member said to start.

The moment the staff member's hand went up the two were already in motion. Laura was still fast but Garnet could see her holding back by a lot. It was a testament to her training. Laura's opponent was charging at her with all his might, it was obvious that he would have some form of physical super power.
Laura stopped herself and side stepped surprising her opponent. As he had gotten close he suddenly doubled in size and tried to tackle her. His super power was simply called bulk up. It let the body spontaneously bulk up on muscle for a short time. The downside was that after the body would be in need of a great deal of nutrition to recover.
"This surprise made Laura move farther and farther back. She didn't want to risk getting caught by this opponent because he was much stronger than her. Therefore, she was using her speed to avoid him. Garnet was impressed by the way she used her speed sparingly, this showed that she was already thinking about her actions much more than she used to.
"Get over here! You run around like a gnat afraid of a spider." Laura's opponent had become much more animated since he used his super power. She could only think it was because of what his body needed to do to suddenly expand like this. Knowing that he was dangerous and more irritated she kept even further from him.
She was dodging around him moving much slower than her normal pace, but she was perfectly controlled in her actions. This was wildly different from before making her almost untouchable. The game of cat and mouse evolved in to Laura getting just close enough for her opponent to think he could get her than her dashing away. The worry she felt started to disappear and an adrenaline filled excitement replaced it.

'This is fun! This is the best! I can beat anyone!' She shouted these things in her head as she wore down her opponent. She had not expected to like any form of fighting, now she was getting a taste of the addiction the others knew all too well.
Eventually, her opponent started to lose his bulked up appearance. Laura saw this and immediately pushed her speed higher and found that she was still able to move and stop as she wanted. This gave her the chance to rush in with her very first attack. Her opponent was tired from burning up their energy and didn't even raise a hand to block her.
Laura's punch landed softly on his chest since she had no experience in ever throwing one properly. It didn't matter though, her opponent was too tired to do anything and fell backward in to a deep sleep. "I win! I wiiiiinnn." She was bouncing around at her incredibly fast paced yet again. The staff member could feel motion sickness just watching her.
Art and Jane who had already found their victory rushed over to see her excitement. Her shouts of victory had made them more curious. The two had not really known Laura yet but were instantly given positive impressions. If they had seen her fight with Asher the other day they would have been shocked at the changes she made, they also would know that she was not as adept in combat as she appeared to be in this movement.
Garnet who was still with Asher and his opponent waved for them to come over, "You really managed to improve a lot in such a short time. I expect you to keep up that effort the rest of camp, I promise you will be much better in all aspects of your daily life if you do." This was nothing Garnet could control, just a factual statement.
"Hey ref, why are you distracted, I am about to crush this kid." Asher's opponent was annoyed that Garnet wasn't focused on them and their match. Unfortunately for him, she didn't worry so much about them. But having her feedback interrupted made her annoyed.
