Chapter 119 - 119. Everyone's Here

Asher had woken up and headed to get good at the finding cabin. The suggested meal was much larger today along with a much longer suggested work out. Before he had gone to bed he browsed the app for the elite gym system and found it even more useful than he had thought.

Jackson had already been there and chatted with him about mountain flowers which made great tea. This was a surprise but before they could get in to it more Garnet and Laura had walked in.

"Alright, here is how this will play out. The campers will arrive the same way you did. After that, they will make their way to the camp entrance which is set up with a stage. Your three will be asked to stand with me to give the welcome address. Please do not tell them about my siblings, they need to find them for point earning challenges on their own."

"Got it." Jackson just kept eating while saying his two words.

"Can I direct my friends to meet Dia if I want? She told me to bring them to the obstacle course when they get here." Asher remembered yesterday's events at the course and knew that it was most certainly his first stop.

"That's fine, just don't point her out and say things about getting points from her and such." Garnet wasn't too worried about the obstacle course since it was a challenge to make many points on unless someone really worked hard.

"They should be arriving in ten minutes from the starting point. Your teachers will instruct them to run and we will head to the entrance. As they arrive you will help with handing out one water bottle and packet of crackers. My staff arrive last night and are setting them up now." Garnet thought for a moment before adding one last thing, "each student gets one set, it is the only bonus they get before they need to push themselves for points to progress."

Asher ate his food as quickly as possible and grabbed an apple to eat while they walked. Jackson was still a bit dirt covered from his plant explorations by nobody said much as the four headed to the entrance. Laura was ignoring Asher but that was only fair after the previous day.

When they made it to the entrance to the camp themselves they found over twenty similarly dressed staff members toiling away. There's were tables with water and crackers along with a few obviously medical staff as well. They were in a hustle which was fair since they had arrived in the night and most likely had a large number of tasks to complete.

"If you want to train of read or anything while we wait for camper's that is fine. I recommend that you get a little cleaner Jackson."Garnet only saw a problem in Jackson's appearance but other than that it was up to them what they did while they waited.

Jackson ran off to clean up and Asher played his own game of foot work shadow tag. He had been mixing in moves as he did so and noticed that Garnet was watching him. Laura was off somewhere finding a snack.

"You're much more fluid than the other day. I think you have a better knack for fighting than you thought. Without a super power that boosts your physical ability the style you are developing is ideal. You can go with the flow and use your opponents' strength against them." Her analysis matched up with the elite home gym system making Asher wonder if she had been looking at his training.

"Just wait until you meet my friends. Jane should be able to surprise you with her bursts of speed, and well Art...He is pretty solid." Asher wasn't sure what to say about Art when it came to martial arts, he was more just an all around basic fighter.

"A camper already? But it's only been a short time. They would be nearly matching the record for getting here." Garnet was looking at her phone and seeing that there were two campers that had set off her alarm. Her phone was connected to many alarms around the camp to keep safe track of campers while there.

Asher smiled wider than usual, "That should be them now." Garnet raised an eye brow and gave him an expectant look.

'So his friends are the ones approaching before anyone else? I wonder how much training they have been doing together before they all got to camp. If they are as hard working as this kid is then all three should have been here early.' Garnet kept her thoughts to herself while the two waited patiently for the two campers to reach them.

Another forty five minutes passed since the alarm went off meaning that the campers had most likely been tripped up by the river. This was normal since it was the exact reason the campers were started at such a point. Garnet breathed a sigh of relief knowing that the record she had set when she was their age was still intact.

"Hurry up!!!!!" Asher saw the familiar masked face of Jane and the panting figure of Art in the distance. They were well ahead of the other students according to Garnet.

The two heard his voice and broke in to a finishing sprint. Asher shouted a few times until the both of them started charging right at him. "oh no."

The three hit the ground with a thud and some groaning. Through panting breaths Art managed to speak, "That-gahh-is for-gahhhh- missing workouts-gaahhh" Art had been put through more and more harsh workoputs from Cara since Asher left. She knew the advantages that Asher would have over Art and Jane so she made the two work harder. However, she failed to tell the two of them this and so they both wanted a little revenge for being alone.

"Yeah yeah, I missed you to bro." Asher looked at jane who was laying on her back panting as well. "Glad to see you made it safely. That new mask looks pretty amazing, well fuzzy but amazing."
