Olivia was a bit surprised by Ashley's answer, although it made perfect sense. Nodding her head, the woman put a hand on his shoulder and smiled. "In this class, we have no boundaries, I won't tell him anything you say, it's confidential. Plus...Destro is a devil in disguise, I'm glad that you can get away from him fifteen hours a week. Come, the class will surely see you're here. Be strong Ashley, don't show them this side of you. Show them the side you had with me yesterday, that tough, strong part of you that I know you have within." Olivia smiled and turned back while clapping her hands.
"Everyone, make a circle in the centre of the room and wait for my instructions. Start a fight before training begins and you're automatically suspended for the rest of the week. Hurry up." Olivia called out, giving Ashley a final soft smile before heading towards the centre of the room where everyone began circling around.
