In parking lot of the event

After the last match of Sol's competitions there was a bit of down time to ready the ring for the next two events leading to a bit of down time for our heroes, "HMMMMM THIS IS SO GOOD", Asta shoved some chili fries from a food truck in his mouth, "DUDE EAT WITH YOU MOUTH CLOSED", Sol shut his mouth by holdings his jaw and the top of his head making the others laugh, "HEY", Asta yelled through his shut mouth, "I'll let go if you promise to eat with your mouth closed", she looked at him as she held his mouth shut getting a nod in response, "Ok", Sol let go  and observed for a second watching as Asta slowly chewed what was in his mouth and swallowing it, "Good", Sol turned her attention back to her own food a basic salad with some dressings, "I'm surprised to see you eat something so light right now", Mimosa said sitting on the curb with her hands on the ground behind her, "They didn't have lava cake so I thought might as well get something healthy", she said while taking another bite, "You guys should worry a little bit more about what you're eating", Sol looked at them Leo eating a steak burrito, Mimosa eating a strawberry cream sandwich, Sekke a grilled snake skewer, and Yuno eating a cone of ice-cream, "Nah", Leo waved it off before taking another bite, "Maybe, but we still have a bit of time to digest", a nervous bead of sweat formed on Mimosa's forehead, "Snake isn't too bad for you is it?", Sekke asked while taking another bite, "I'm not really sure to be honest", Yuno stroked his chin with his free had for a moment to think about it, "Probably not", Asta added on with a few fries in his mouth, "WHAT DID I TELL YOU?", Sol wrapped her hands around his neck, shaking him as she did, "SO-S-SO-SORR-YYY", Asta managed to get through a few chokes, "HAHAHAHA", the gang once again laughed at the display, "YOU WON'T EAT WITH YOUR MOUTH OPEN?", Sol asked getting a head shake in return, "Fine", she let go of him, "THANK YOU", Asta held his throat as he fell over, "Whatever", Sol began to eat again, "Talk about brutal",  Sekke commented as he rubbed his own neck, he could feel it by just watching them, "Shouldn't be eating with your mouth open", she scoughed, "To be fair I don't think that was entirely necessary", Mimosa commented with a bit of concern, "See", Asta pointed to her for affirmation, "Well I did it and I can't take that back", Sol shrugged eating a bit more as she did, "I guess", Yuno shrugged as well before finishing his cone, "Hey", the students turned around to Theresa, "What's up?", Leo asked, "The ring is set up and they said we have thirty minutes before the opening matches for your bracket", she motioned for them to comeback with her head, "LETS GO", Leo blasted up to follow, "Wait up", Mimosa followed them, "Guess we should go too", Sol dusted herself off throwing her plate in the trash, "yeah", Sekke tossed his skewer sticks, "WAIT", Asta followed trying to close the box to his chili fires

In the locker room

"Ok so first it goes Leo then Mimosa", Theresa looked at their match cards, "What about full contact?", Mimosa asked, "Those are gonna be hosted after the semi contact boxing matches close up", she answered, "But for right now I think it's best we go over some game planning for your opening fights", Theresa pulled a tablet out of her bag, "Starting with Leo", she pulled up a video of his opponent, a guy named Goht, "From what I've seen looking at the tapes he seems to be a bit of a dirty boxer", a video of a slick elbow landing after he had broken a clinch and getting a jab jab straight combination after stomping on the opponents foot, "But he's a pretty good power puncher", an overhand showed his ability to wobble an opponent even through head gear, "Ok", Leo watched the video seeing moments of arm wrenching, elbows, etc., "The closes look we've got at one was Vanica", Leo bit his tongue remembering sparring with her, *CRACK* "THEN DON'T CLINCH" *SLICE* "VANICA" "MIMOSA CUT IT OUT" "But-" "It's fine", "I see", he bawled his fists a bit at the memory, "However I think I have a decent rudimentary game plan to beat him", she pulled out a beaten up notebook, "Damn I haven't seen one of those in a while", Leo laughed, "What is it?", Asta joined in on the conversation, "I keep notebooks on all the gameplans, fights, and tactics I've logged over the years", she opened it up, "But since I've switched to being their coach I haven't had much time to do this", Theresa began to flip through it, and Asta had seen some familiar names Lilith a boxer famous for her ice cold demeanor, but her patented corkscrew punch and Nahama another boxer who had a similar personality to Mereoleona and had actually taken a few rounds off of her before getting KO'd, "Wow", Asta looked as she continued to flip through the book, "Here", a page focused on a woman named Liliane Vaude, "I've never heard of this one", Asta stared at it, "She was a boxer that was making her way through the rankings a while back, but it turns out she had been packing her gloves and was basically black listed from the sport", Theresa gritted her teeth a bit, "Just wish they did it before she made tens of millions" "Cool, but can we get back to me", Leo asked, "Right. Anyway, I think that the mix of slugging mixed with dirty boxing the best game plan I think is likely a defensive style", Leo shook his head, "Like the Philly shell?" "No kid I hate to break it to you, but you ain't no Mayweather", Yami joined in, "Then what?", Leo lifted his brow. Theresa smiled a bit, "I think going over a jab heavy back away style is best", Leo frowned at her response, "But-" "Hold on", she interrupted him, "Jabbing and keeping range is the key, but getting off big counter shot's when he attempts to quickly go in for a clinch or big shot is gonna be where you score the most points" "Wait we only have like forty minutes how-" "You're gonna do some pad work with Yami", she pointed to him, "He's a good counter puncher, but also had a pretty good defensive jab", Leo looked  at the gruff man, remembering his sparring session with Fuegoleon, "Alright", Theresa tossed a pair of gloves for Leo to use, "C'mon kid". Theresa then turned her focus to Mimosa, "And for you", Mimosa looked at her, "I don't know there wasn't any tape on her and it seems this is going to be her first at one of these events", Mimosa slouched over in disappointment, "Oh" "Look sorry, but this is something that happens from time to time we'll just brush up on your pad work and stick to the style you box and we'll be good", Theresa stared off the side a bit, "Probably", the tacked on bit at the end didn't instill much more confidence than she had before
