Garnet was amazed by the speed Laura was capable of when she was at full focus. This was the slow start that she often saw in those who were not sued to fighting. Laura was slow to start her speed and focus but when she had a proper driving factor she could reach a much higher realm. Laura was nearly a blur with the speed of her fingers while turning the puzzle and looking for the hidden trick to open it.
Garnet had no doubt that if Laura learned to harness this speed and focus she could beat the Asher from their first sparring match many times over. However, she still had a feeling that Asher could beat Laura now. It might just be a gut feeling, but to Garnet, it was a very important feeling to put stock in.
