Chapter 169 - 169. Hero Name
"Guys look! Asher just got spit on." Laura was the first to find her words through her rib splitting laughter. The rest were haunches over unable to even breathe.
The only person not laughing was Jane, who understandably, was too tired at the moment to laugh. To Asher's distaste, however, Jane was still smiling and trying to cover her face. Even Garnet had a smirk on her face.
Asher became much more aggravated and glared about while trying to find his opponent. "why did you spit on me!"
"No no it's not spit it was just water that I stored in my body…" the person shouting this in nervousness was a very slim girl nearly shaking a few feet from Asher.
It took Asher a few moments to realize that the girl was the same round looking girl as before. "What I'm the world happened to you. Did you go on some extreme diet?"
"Um well…no. I used my super power and shot pressurized water from my holding stomach. I gained the super power of growing a second organ and being able to withstand high water pressure to fire water at things…"
While the girl was freaking out on the inside Asher was calming himself. 'She didn't spit on me. She shot pressurized water. She shot pressurized water. She shot pressurized water.'
After he had repeated the phrase a few times Asher was able to relax more and dashed forwards. "No don't hurt me I'm sorry!" The girl shouted in fear and covered her face.
She slowly opened her eyes since nothing had happened to find Asher's fist waiting in front of her face only an inch away. "Never cower from a fight. You could lose more than just a match." Adheres finger extended and flicked her in the forehead. "That's for spitting on me." He turned and started to walk away.
"Teaching match finished. Student Marley awarded five points for courageous learning. Teacher Asher rewarded ten points for recognizing martial arts experience and adapting properly."
Those around the area watching heard Garnet and couldn't believe what they had heard. Both people gained points from a match. So far only the winner had gained points.
"We aren't here to beat each other!"
"Where's the nearest expert club member!"
"Teach me boxing please!"
"Take me as your student."
In only moments the entire sparring field had turned in to shouts and pleading campers. The moment they knew they could get more points by actually learning was the moment the sparring field would become a real challenge.
"So you just used me to get people here." Asher now saw Garnets' grand plan.
"Of course I did. What else do you expect?" Garnet had another few campers rush up to here and capture her attention so Asher went back to his friends.
"So watch this. I set it on a loop." Louis was showing everyone a video on his phone.
Asher peeked over his shoulder and saw a five second video on repeat. It was him being hit in the chest by the pressurized water and tumbling backward.
"Louis, I didn't know you wanted to die young. It's sad that we will all need to attend your funeral." Asher's cold voice brought shivers to Louis's spine. But he didn't falter and hit the send button.
Within a moment everyone in the group was welcomed to the video sharing group Louis had created. The first video posted was Asher being taken out by pressurized water.
"Always a shame when they die young." Louis ran like his life depended on it. Asher just stood and watched Louis run right in to the trees and disappear. "Guess he won't be around to find the golden egg or get ice cream."
The others refused to even press the play bottom again. Asher had crushed the teasing mood in an instant. "So he named it the clover chat? Why clover?"
"It's for the four leaf clover. You have a super power related to luck and you kinda influence all of us. Unless one of us beats you in a match doubt we will change the name." Sammy had watched Louis run away but had heard him explain the reasoning he chose the clover theme.
"He went all in on it too. The background is green like clover and the group emoji is a clover too. This is pretty cool." Art was already posting the videos he took.
"Is that what I looked like!" Jane saw the video of her shit and was horrified. She knew she had changed in some way but was too caught up in her own emotions to properly examine anything.
"Yeah, you looked insanely powerful. I would say that you could make just about any villain give up before they even started." Asher wasn't holding back in his amazement, "I really wanted to be the one against you. I have never seen you go all out like that and it was spectacular."
Jane blushed so much that her ears even started to turn red. She had at first believed that her friends and Asher would be terrified by her appearance at the moment. "You looked just like the mythology of Medusa, have you seen the beautiful paintings?" Sammy had pulled up many of the older art on her phone.
"Minus the snakes as hair that could be Jane's older sister. I thought she said she was an only child but...maybe not." Art was trying to tease a little but it made Jane even happier to be compared to such an elegant looking figure.
"Then that's my hero name. When I graduate and head off to university I am registering my hero name as Medusa." Jane was sold. No one would ever be able to convince her to change it.
"I was wondering what else there could be. It makes a lot of sense to go by that. Your super power is the same and even if you describe your powers to someone then they would think of Medusa when you told them." Jackson also voiced his approval since he was a more logic based person. It just made sense.
"I am feeling a lot better now. Let's get looking for that luxury cabin." Jane used Sammy and Laura's helo to stand up and stretch a bit./ She was still slightly pale and unsteady, but she was ready to go.
