What The Luck!? Chapter 159

" Wait, I didn't see these snacks in the camp store. Where did you get them? And where did this bag come from?" Asher was looking at the backpack and the snacks.'Has Laura stolen these from someone?'
"Why are you looking at me like that? I used my points to get my bag back. I brought these from home." Laura slightly hid the bag behind her. Asher wanted to ask where she got the points from since she had just spent almost all of them on the second batch of cookie ingredients, but he was feeling more and more hungry.
"You said one of those compressed veggie chips had the servings of one full day right?" Laura smiled like she had won a great victory.
"I ddiiidddd, and you want one?" She was having way too much fun with this. Unfortunately for Asher he was unable to think of anything wise to say and was going to break.
"Can I have like five of them? Or wait, just two then I can make it to the dining cabin. Please.' Neil had burst in after hearing the food was a whole days' worth of vegetable nutrients.
Laura looked a little down since she wasn't able to keep teasing Asher. She handed out three to Neil, "I will pay you back for this. Just let me know when you want me to and I will schedule it!" His shout was already fading in to the distance as he sprinted toward the dining carbon.
"You can have one too I guess." Laura knew she couldn't go back now. There was no way she could give one to Neil who she had just met and not Asher who she had already labeled a friend.
"Don't worry, I will pay you back too. I can get Art to cook for you." Laura beamed at the promise of payback in this form.

"What are you doing? I am not a chef for sale, I don't pay your debts." Art tried to argue but he was giving too much away. The smile on his face said that he would definitely cook for anyone that asked, he just liked it that much.
"So what do we do next?" Jane wasn't sure if they should keep taking on matches or try to hunt for the egg.
"I think we should get more food. I could eat another five of these and a steak and still need more food." Asher wanted to go on with the sparring but the feeling in his stomach screamed for him to eat some real protein.
"Was that staff members healing that strong?" Art was surprised by this, especially since he saw Laura pulling out more food.
Laura tossed Asher a protein bar and started snacking on the veggie chips too. "Now you see why I need these super compressed snacks. They have a ton of calories and would usually make someone sick if they are more than one or two. But you look like you are in the same state as me."
"You always feel this starving? That's terrible. I feel like my stomach has never been filled at all." Laura was just snapping another chip in to her mouth while nodding along.
"My power burns so many calories all the time, I eat as often as possible to quench my thirst and sate my hunger." She had heard the line said like that in a book and knew she had shown them her cool side.
"You should join our philosophy class. You would fit right in." Art felt a little bad about Laura always feeling so hungry, but with her weird attempt to be cool he had felt that feeling fly away.

"That staff member said her power used our bodies' stored nutrients to rapidly repair itself. So basically I feel like I haven't eaten for weeks." Asher was wolfing down one of the protein bars while trying to stuff a chip in his mouth too. Before he could choke to death Laura threw a water bottle at him as well.
"I'm not sure if that makes me worried or feel better." Art was put on the edge since he knew that it would end up being a problem if she healed them. They would need to stop and rush to eat, it would also cost more points to get enough food.
"Then just try not to get hurt. Just more motivation for us to train." Jane only saw the positives in this. Jackson, who had been silent for a while, finally spoke up.
"THat fighting style you have is very hard to predict. It also looks like you are wide open, but that's not the case at all. I can't lie but I thought you were going to lose the entire time.." Jackson had been trying his best to dissect Asher's style and learn something.
"I actually wish I had a video, I don't think I have a proper view of what I actually look like." This was one thing that was true. Ashe was always lost to what his movements looked like and if he was pausing unnecessarily.
"We can help with that!' Sammy jumped in front o Asher coming from behind. Louis was there to giving Art a fist bump as a greeting. "We were trying to practice and wait for a space to open up, but decided to split up and videotape you match with our phones. Let us send them to you."
Sammy and Louis both sent the full videos from different angles. "This is perfect! You guys really have my back." Asher couldn't be more thankful for the friends he had made. "I think we should all start to record each other's matches. It would be a huge help."
"Then we will rotate who has what matches. Let's claim this spot for us and rotate through." This plan suggested by Jane was perfect. They could take turns earning points while the others rested and recorded. This would help them all improve and keep up well rested matches for a long time.
"We are going to rack up the points. Hear that everyone? This is the best sparring ground there is. Line up and challenge the rotation of the battle master!" Laura jumped up and started advertising. The attention of most of the sparring field fell on them.
