Chapter 16 - 30 Meters High
πππππ©ππxt.πππ
Sitting quietly on the seat of the sky cruiser, David looked sideways since he was sitting very close to the window, he could see as they soared into the skies in a seemingly predetermined route.
He also noticed that although the sky cruisers were moving fast, and also about to bump into each other, they always magically avoid each other in the nick of time, brushing past each other in a smooth fashion. Making one sigh in admiration at such precise control over the machines.
Although David instinctively doesn’t really like Phyllida, he had to admit though, she was really good at controlling the sky cruiser. An ability worth being jealous over.
And whilst he hadn’t been to the control center of the sky cruiser, he could only imagine how hard it was going to be driving the vehicle.
David turned his head back, facing Nihyuh. As he was about to ask him something, he suddenly felt the sky cruiser decelerating, before coming to a stop and then, a light ‘thump’ was heard as the sky cruiser landed softly on the ground.
Checking over the windows, the sky cruiser had come to a stop.
‘Hm, seems like we’ve gotten there, that was fast.’ David mulled over in his head.
The hatch opened, spilling out crowds of teenagers. Amongst them, David and Nihyuh came out last.
Yawning, David looked around curiously with his droopy eyes, While Nihyuh’s eyes shone with both curiosity and expectation. Seems like he was really enthusiastic about the combat lessons which David was really sure it wasn’t something to be happy about.
The flying vehicle landed at the edge of an open field. The field was almost as large as a football field.
In the middle of the field, there already students there standing in a single file and also according to their heights.
“See you later.” Nihyuh left in a hurry in a bid to join them.
A bit surprised, he watched as Nihyuh left like a hurricane to find his position in the line. David smiled a bit at the enthusiastic Nihyuh, before he shrugged. Walking in large strides towards his position on the line, according to his height. Which was located almost at the middle of the line.
David stood there lazily for a few seconds, soon after, he got really impatient since the lecturer isn’t there yet.
The rest of the students waited patiently for the appearance of their teacher without any complaints like they were already used to it. Seeing as the other students who went for the previous lessons were quite, the students who were attending the lesson for the first time also kept quiet. Well, with the exception of David.
As David frowned and was about to ask someone what was going in, a tiny dot emerged far off the sky. Rapidly closing in on the students, the dot grew from its previous tiny frame to a much larger one since it was already close enough to be seen by the students.
The figure of a slick looking sky cruiser gradually emerged rapidly. The cruiser was completely pink in color. Shining with a metallic shine on it. Looking both badass and cute. With two omni-thrusters at both sides. Spewing out waterfalls of combustible energy the students, when it got to the edge of the field, it only slowed down a little bit, but its speed was still considered quite fast.
As he saw the sky cruiser speeding towards them, having no thoughts of slowing down, David’s eyebrows rose in surprise. Looking at his fellow students having no thoughts of running for their lives or something, instead, their eyes shone in admiration and in expectation as though they about to watch something really interesting.
‘Since they didn’t run, I also wouldn’t runβ¦lets see what would happen’ David thought as he gritted his teeth.
In that instant, as the sky cruiser was about to pass over the students head, something immediately dropped down from the already opened hatch of the flying vehicle.
The object Immediately closing in on them at a terrifying speed due to its inertia and gravity.
That object… was a woman.
Cries of shock immediately rang out from the group of students although it came from the students who are attending the class for the first time since they had been admitted into the the institution.
It was their first time seeing someone jumping down from an altitude of more than 30 meters high. Even if one had superhuman strength, it’s no different from seeking one’s death.
As David recognized the object as a woman, his eyes immediately opened wide in astonishment, thereafter, his lips curled up in a sadistic smile.
Laughing in his mind ‘Hehe, courting death.’
Adopting a pose of one who wants to watch a good show. He gazed in expectation at the woman who was descending just like a meteor.
The lady’s decent didn’t slow down at all. In fact, she changed her position. Turning her head upside down with her face towards the ground increasing her already terrifying downwards momentum. And as if she was still dissatisfied with her speed, she placed her hand straight by her sides. Her blond hair flapping behind her.
Whoosh!
Her body dived straight towards the ground, slicing apart the air like a knife to soft cheese with terrifying speed.
As her body was about to hit the ground, she immediately performed a front flip, flipping her body and changing her upside down posture to the normal standing posture, spreading her feet apart to a type of horse stance with one hand forward.
BANG!
The students immediately felt the impact, as tremors surged through the ground, dust and grass immediately rose up flying everywhere, covering the whole area.
Cries of fear immediately rang out from the new students. Although the ones who attended her classes in the past two days, had experienced it before, they still couldn’t hold in their disbelief as they stared at the figure in the middle of the rising dust.
David’s facial expression was exceptionally priceless as he was filled with incredulity. It was something he wouldn’t have believed would happen even if he dreamt about it. It was impossible. Both scientifically and logically.
He was expecting to see her in pieces at least.. But he couldn’t have expected that she was totally fine even after jumping about 30 meters from a flying vehicle.
