Chapter 236 - 236. Leaving Camp
Cara pushed Asher in to three more rounds of sparring matches until no one else dared to challenge him. "Now we can't get any more points here." Cara was angry that the other campers had long given up and most had even left the area.
"What did you expect. I didn't come here every single minute of every single day so that i would have people to spar against the whole ten days I was here." Asher was currently sitting on the ground clutching a bottle of water like it was the last thing he would ever drink in his life.
"Then we should go climb that wall. I think I remember the path to the cliff." Cara wanted to go for the hike then climb the cliff.
Asher jumped up to stop her, "No, we shouldn't I found a secret path to the top, and I am banned from going there." He tried his best to avoid the subject of Onyx wanting to crush him after he and Jackson had accidentally knocked one of his trees off the cliff.
Garnet listened to this and nodded to show she agreed. Cara slowly accepted this but wondered why such a small detail was the reason for him being banned. "We can't go to the obstacle course The time spent isn't efficient for point building unless you can beat the one at the top. Can you?"
Asher looked at his sister with dead seriousness, "Nope. Laura is a beast when it comes to speed because of her insane metabolism. I can beat her on one obstacle but I can't make up enough time to do that over and over. Plus I will only get more points the first time that happens. Actually, where has Laura been? Did she find her family or something?"
Asher couldn't recall if Laura had met with her family or not. She had simply disappeared again. Luckily Garnet had an answer for him, "Lauras' family is a unique bunch of super powers. Her older brother came along with her other family members. They are hard to remember without precautions. She will most likely be at school when you return. I put word for her and Jackson to be transferred in to class one with you."
Garnet had gone above and beyond when it came to things and did so again. Now Asher would be in class with his entire group and they could pursue their grade skipping together. "Are their super powers that dangerous? " Cara wasn't sure if what little she had seen and heard of their super powers was enough for her to say they were dangerous enough for them to be in class one.
"I bet Laura should be in my class because her super power needs to be watched so that she won't fall unconscious if she doesn't eat enough. That metabolism is insane. Jackson is still learning to use his super power thought. He needs to adjust to the massive jump in strength. He could have jumped the wall by himself if he wanted but held back. Although he still knocked me over."
Asher described his reasoning to Cara and Garnet fully supported the reasoning. These two facts could cause either the two or others around them to get hurt and that was more than enough reason to be added to class one.
"Then we go to the camp store and exchange points. The classes were great but I was not the best at them. I had to cram hard when it came to survival knowledge at home. I don't want to try it again here." Cara was better off studying on her own terms which had always been the case.
"You want to hit the camp store so that you can get those vitamin packs with the points we earned from the matches…" Asher already knew this was Caras' goal.
"What else would we do with them? I can skip dinner here and we can go home early. I am sure your friends are already finishing up so they can rest early for school tomorrow." Cara was spot on with her assumption. Asher found that the group chat was full of messages saying exactly these things.
"Awe, the only one still around is Art and he is spending some time with his mother since the two hadn't seen each other in a while. But that is good. I am glad he got a surprise. I will send him a message that we will leave soon and will wait for him. But since it is getting so late I am sure that his mother will need to leave so that she doesn't get in to any drama."
Asher felt a little bad for Art but it was being drowned out by the fact that they would be working incredibly hard to be strong enough to get what he needed and wanted. Sooner than later they would go to confront his older brother and take the answers Art deserved.
"Garnet. My sister and I are going to the camp store then home. Thank you for everything you have done. I can't make it all up top you now but I promise I will one day." Asher made sure that Garnet knew this. He was extremely thankful to her.
"Just show the world what you can do as a hero. I have a feeling that you will make it there. Also, contact me in the elite home gym app any time you need me. " She paused for a second, "I will also be at the tournament you are planning to participate in before your year end exams and school tournaments. I will be taking revenge after I beat Winters." Garnet looked determined as ever.
"Then I will have to be extra loud seeing your matches. Thanks for taking care of my brother. I owe you one too." Cara swallowed her pride and was sure to properly thank Garnet as well. Garnet couldn't help but smile at the future as the two walked away from her.
"I can't wait to see what those kids do in a few years. Maybe even sooner…" Garnet lost herself in thought as she walked the camp which was steadily becoming empty.
