What The Luck!? Chapter 241
Advertisement
Asher was the first that coach Winters called out to shown her what he had learned. She had wanted to see each of them but she had a feeling that Asher would show her something a bit more unique that would require more focus.
"I have a new style. It's called rag doll style. Other than that I have just improved my physique and learned new moves." Asher tried to be as humble as possible because he knew that if he attempted to talk big he might end up worse off.
"A style, already? Let's see about that." Coach Winters had a feeling that Asher wasn't lying by any means however, she wanted to see just how involved he could be that he was able to call what he had a style.
She watched as he fell in to his stance with a drooped over posture and slightly swinging arms. "That is the stance for the rag doll style you have? I guess that is where it gets the name but don't expect it to properly block every attack."
She did not hesitate and fell in to her own stance. Hers was a well trained and stiff stance that would emphasize her speed and reflexes. In comparison, she was most similar to Janes' stance. This was mainly because of the speed they had over their opponents most of the time.
Coach Winters decided to attack first since she did not see that Asher was going to make a move. She was already judging his style based on the fact that it appeared to be more reactive than proactive. To her eyes, this meant that he would have a tough time dictating the pace of the matches he had and would require him to wait for a villain to attack him. She clicked her tongue at this because she did not want to see any of her students become a hero only to be toyed with by a villain.

"You should make yourself the one who controls the pace in a match!" She said this as a heel kick came toward Asgher. Coach Winters was holding back significantly but did not hold back the speed. The force was only enough to push Asher back by her estimate but instead of this happening, she was surprised to see that he let his body fully spin around from the force of the kick.
She was cursing the weakness he had at this moment. She knew that he should have gotten storing enough to block this or ever counter but seeing him take the kick and be controlled by it was a disappointment. That was until he lifted his leg and used her own momentum against her.
His own kick came at coach Winters with the same speed and force she had used. She had not expected this but blocked it out of pure instinct. She had the feeling that she had just woken a sleeping bear. Yet, the feeling dissipated as soon as she had blocked the attack and Asher returned to his stance.
"So the real rag doll style principal is diverting motion back at your opponent. Interesting theory. It's not bad, but you still didn't follow through and attack while you had that momentum."
Asher just smiled as he pushed forward and slipped a little. This threw off coach Winters but she knew better than to let herself get distracted by this fact. Instead, she braced herself to block which proved to be the right move as Ashers' fist whipped out from the falling motion to hit her arms.
"So you can even create your own momentum from your fake falling." Coach Winters wanted to go in to more detail but she found that Asher had not stopped with the first hit. He continued to spin and fall and twist in to different elbow, knee, punches, kicks, and finally one large wheel kick.

"You have found a flow of combinations. Good!" She pushed herself forward to break his flow and caused him to stumble back.
Asher tried to grab out and lock on to her wrist and arm to turn it in to a throw. But instead of him throwing her, Coach Winters saw his attempt and changed her body position. "I will show you what happens when you try and throw me again!" She turned and rolled with him in her grasp. By the time his back was on the mat he was pinned and held in a cradle hold. He couldn't kick out to free himself in the least.
"Well, that is that." She released him and rolled to her feet. "You did manage to obtain your own style but your moves are clear as day. I can easily predict your throws and hits by your body language. It is even easier with your style. You need to learn feints."
This was something the elite home gym app had suggested but Asher had neglected to practice as of yet. " I will start learning them tonight." He did not hesitate to promise this. He wanted to learn them anyways but now had another person pushing him to learn them.
"I will learn them with you too. My style is pretty straight forward and lacks any misdirection at all. But I have learned a few things." Art had become pumped up from watching Asher spar first. He pulled out a pair of heavy looking gloves. They were still thin but made Art's hands look weighed down.
"Are you that excited to show off? I can go harder if you would like the additional training?" A villainous grin sprouted on coach Winters' face. She loved knocking a cocky student down a little.
"I do not...I am just getting myself in the mood to face a tough opponent. That is why I am using my weighted gloves." Art had purchased these for over night delivery. These would be the key to his secret weapon before he could tell others his super power. It was easy to lie and say that he had lead lining in the gloves to use with his super power.

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.

The Kings of Thendor - The Two Kings
To some, it would probably be obvious. To others – not so much. In the land of Thendor, where magic is mysterious, unmentioned, and sometimes even disbelieved; where kings, queens, and stewards rule, the ages-old kingdom of Alldel remains without its king. Heirs come and go and no one can explain why each one chooses to abdicate to the steward. And who are these heirs, anyway? Some say the line of kings is dead, while others whisper of magic. Some, though few they are, will tell you other kingdoms have interfered, keeping the line of kings from rising in the nation of Alldel. But why? Adric, son of Cassian, heir to the throne of Alldel has come of age and must answer the question, whether to assume the throne, or abdicate as his ancestors had done for centuries. Raised as a blacksmith by a family friend, Adric struggles with the decision to take up his place as King of Alldel, and to make matters worse, a neighboring kingdom has confirmed the rumors of the common folk. An impossibly old king with a centuries-old message arrives and changes Adric’s life in ways he could never have imagined. Adric must decide the future, and perhaps even the fate of the great kingdom of Alldel. Unprepared for this turn of events, he enlists the help of allied kingdoms and even the mystical nymphs of the Tulusbian forest. Some say his actions will start a war on the continent of Thendor. Ohers say he is resurrecting a long forgotten one from centuries ago. Abdicate, or become king? To some, it would probably be obvious. To others – not so much.
