"About that, I promised that I would go and get Jane ice cream to help her celebrate her last win. I'm sure you saw her make a breakthrough in her super power. So this would be the last match for us today before we go looking for the golden egg." Jay still looked at Asher with a straight face. Asher couldn't get a read on him at all.
"I see. Then I can wait until tomorrow. I won't push to fight before I meet the proper rules." Jay walked right off the sparring area and back to the club members that got riled up more than before. However, with a few words, they gave up on bothering him more.
Asher just stood in the sparring area completely alone with a lost looking expression, his opponent had just disappeared. "Umm, can I try this match?" Asher heard the smaller voice from the side and noticed a slightly round girl who had a hand raised.
"Sure thing. I need one more opponent before we call it a day for sparring. My friends and I are going to straighten out some things after." The round girl looked very happy to be able to face someone.
"I have tried all day to try a match. But nobody wanted to, I was losing hope." Asher could only imagine it was the girls' appearance playing a factor. She wasn't fat so to say, but her size was short and round making her seem like an easy win. Nobody would actively try to go against her for the simple fact that they would appear cruel.
"Then it's your lucky hour. I won't say no to someone having the first match. Let's learn a lot from each other." Asher thought that it was better to have someone who was less experienced battle him for once. He could possibly inspire others to step up and try their own first matches.

There were a few onlookers who jeered Asher as they saw the round girl walk on to the sparring area. But Asher completely ignored them. "Is that your stance?"
"Umm, yes?" The round girl sounded like she was questioning what a stance was.
"Try to spread your feet out shoulder length apart and bend your knees. If you feel like it is easy to push you over then you are not holding a balanced stance." Asher had no problem giving the girl tips. He thought it was a great change of pace from the hot headed club members from the past days.
"Like this?" The round looking girl had fallen in to a much more basic stance. It was still rough and easy to see that she was not comfortable but it was enough to start a first match.
Garnet thought this was an interesting occurrence. She knew that Asher was more than happy to help his friends get stronger, but was surprised that he so readily helped a stranger. "Alright, Asher take it easy and make sure you give a good lesson. Begin!"
Asher used his foot work to move inwards toward the round girl. Her eyes were wide as she tried to follow his moves. The second she crossed her legs Asher made a dash forward. This caused her to try and step back but she had no way to do so and stumbled. "That's why you never cross your legs. Now back up and try and keep up with me for a while."
The campers that had gathered lost all interest and only a few stubborn club members stayed around. The body sculpting and boxing club being the majority. They still wanted to force a match but were too afraid of Garnet's gaze.

"Let's see if you can punch, send one at me." Asher could see the round girl was beginning to feel the flow of Asher's slower foot work. He decided to bring things to the next step.
"Yes!" The round girl came forward and threw a soft punch at Asher. He used a single hand to deflect it and knock it away.
"Again, clench your fist and keep your wrist straight." Garnet nodded hearing this. She was a huge advocate for proper punching techniques.
The girl heeded Ashers' directions and threw ten punches which were all easily blocked. But by the last punch, Asher could tell that she was learning the proper flow. "No try and add your super powers in to the mix. If it's safe then go all out."
Asher knew that pushing to kicks and more in depth moves would be too much right off the bat. He also wanted to have the girl show off her power in front of Garnet in case there was anything she saw worth her advice.
"Are you sure? It is a little different." The girl stopped following Asher for a moment and he took the chance to give her a soft tap to the shoulder.
"Never stop moving. Now bring it on, if you worry about your opponent too much then they will have you beat before you even think of making a move." Asher's words were a little tough but it spurred the round girl to action.
The round girl moved forward without any guard up. Asher wasn't sure what she was playing at or what her super power was so he tried to back up. Unfortunately for him, he was already too close.
The round girl opened her mouth and a torrent of water burst out. Asher was the perfect target right in front of her and the pressurized water hit him in the chest. He was sent rolling on the ground and came to a stop over five fee away.
Asher rolled with the falling feeling due to his training but he was still caught off guard by this kind of attack. He was lucky to roll back on to his feet but when he looked forward for his opponent, he found that she was nowhere to be found. "What in the world was that and where did you go! There's no retreat in a match unless you can't go on!" He was slightly annoyed being caught by surprised but it was worse than he thought.
