Chapter 218 - 218. Jane Vs. Asher

The challenges flowed freely as many of the campers were energized to try and win enough matches to get to Asher. This was quickly shut down by Jane and Art as they continued to be undefeated. Laura managed to claim a decent amount of victories due to her speed and coaching from Jane. It was impressive how quickly she was improving in just the one day. 

"I challenge Asher!" Jane shouted this as soon as she had won her match. This was her calling out her friend that she had long waited to test her skills against. "I refuse to fall behind and will go all out!" Jane grabbed a bottle of the adrenalin protein shake and chugged the entire thing. 

Asher couldn't hide his surprise. He had not realized just how strongly Jane felt about going all out. "If you are going to be serious I won't hold back either. It would be disrespectful." He watched as jane started to shift in to her full super powered form. The scales that expanded and her hair that flowed wildly like snakes drew his eyes. 

Asher knew that there was danger in her movements, especially with her claws. But it was clear that her actions were controlled. The anger that had caused her to first show her super powers full strength was gone. It was replaced by the adrenalin that had acted as the true trigger. 

Asher stretched his arms a few times and fell in to a lazy swinging. His weight falling slightly to one foot then back to the other. This was a stance that he found himself most comfortable in since it was constantly shifting. This made it easier when he fell in to another motion and was whipping back to attack. His moves could easily show their strength this way. 

"I will be judging this match. On your ready!" Garnet made her appearance as if she had been waiting for this the entire day. "Fight!" Asher was the first to move. He knew that he shouldn't let Jane take the lead if he wanted the match to go in his favor. 

Jane was more of an attacker and less of a defender she ended up a little thrown off seeing that Asher had charged towards her instead of his normal reactive movements. 

Right as Asher was getting close his foot caught on a small pebble in the dirt and he started to fall forward. This was a shock to Jane who immediately tried to reach out to assist him. Unfortunately, Asher did 't let this go to waste. He rolled with the motion and came down with a surprising high kick. The force knocked Jane back but not off her feet. 

"That was sneaky!" Her voice was slightly ragged but still high pitched and feminine. It was terrifying to those watching since they knew that the voice was connected to an insanely powerful fighter. 

"Sorry, slipped on some pebbles. I will try to be more careful." Asher was honest in this making Jane feel even more frustrated that Asher had obviously gotten ahead of her. 'Even his trips are an attack with his super power. I need to go all in." Jane knew that Asher would be able to dodge her attacks and was not going to leave any hold barred. She slashed pout with her claws toward Asjher making him lean back to dodge. 

As Asher leaned back he saw that Jane had not fully retracted herself. Taking his chance he grabbed her elbow and rotated under her while changing levels. She was suddenly on his shoulder and rolling on to the ground to fall on her back. 

Jane refused to give in and reacted by twisting around and trying to grab Asher's arm in return. Luckily, Asher released Jane and jumped up putting him face to face with her grin again. "That was a nice save, it won't happen again." Asher pushed harder and started to spin with his next kick. This build up of momentum as he switched from kicks in to a spinning punch left his back open for a split second, however, it also gave him heavy force. 

The elite home gym system had shown him how to chain moves together in to a combo like this and it was paying off. Due to his increase in speed Jane was unable to get close and interrupt him. This led her to step back which was the next mistake she made. 

Jane was pressured and Asher saw this, he took the opening and switched in to a round house kick making Jane fully fall backward for the first time. Asher had successfully knocked her on her butt. "Well, Aren't you going to get up?" Asher was looking at Jane knowing that she had more to give. He would not let her admit defeat until she was completely exhausted. "Try taking off your mask. I bet you can't stop me. 

"Cover your eyes!" Garnet was not able to act fast enough and instead called out an order for everyone to cover their eyes. 

The fear they all held for the wrath of Garnet was strong so every single camper follower her order and some even turned around fully. The only one that was able to see anything was Asher and Jane who were not looking at each other eye to eye. 

"I thought I would be turning to stone or something. Guess it is not all it is cracked up to be." Asher was still able to move but found that Jane was the one stuck in place. "Maybe you shouldn't look me in the eye when you do this…" 

Asher felt bad for a split second but little did he know that Laura was more than happy to remain frozen while she gazed in to Asher's emerald green eyes. Asher closed his eyes while moving forward which caused Jane to be able to move again. She was thankful that she couldn't actually turn anyone to stone but realized her body was extremely sluggish. This hadn't happened the last time she had been stuck in place.
