Chapter 219 Grand Entrance
Suddenly, a man was thrown down through the curtain on one side of the stage.
Before the audience realized what was going on, the man hit a few ribbons before cras.h.i.+ng onto the stage. After tumbling head over heels a dozen times, he stopped with his a.s.s above his head.
Since the man had crashed into the ribbons, two dancers that had been moving in midair lost their balance. Screaming in panic, they were about to fall from the ribbons.
They were five meters above the stage, and might be slightly injured if they jumped down.
However, both of them were upside down with their legs wrapped around the ribbons.
If they fell like this, they would probably be killed when their heads. .h.i.t the stage.
Luke certainly wouldn’t turn a blind eye to it with his system.
Saving the two girls would mean about fifty experience and credit points. Besides, it wasn’t hard for him.
Well, it wasn’t hard for him, and n.o.body else had time to react.
By the time everybody noticed something was wrong, Luke had stepped onto the back of the seat in front of him and sprung more than ten meters forward, like a dragonfly.
He rolled when he reached the stage and stopped below the two dancers who were screaming and falling.
He then jumped and grabbed them in midair. The girls’ momentum forced him to do an awkward roll.
He hit the stage and b.u.mped and rolled, but firmly protected the two dancers in his arms.
The brunt of the impact that the dancers would’ve taken to the heads and their upper torsos was blocked by Luke’s arms.
After reducing the momentum of their fall with the roll, Luke came to a steady stop on the stage.
Actually, he could’ve tossed the two dancers back up to the ribbons easily, but that would be exposing his extraordinary abilities.
What he did just then was how a gymnastic coach would protect a falling athlete. It was something that an ordinary person was capable of.
The hall was quiet for a moment, before everybody started shouting.
They were all confused, shocked and delighted.
Most fortunately, the two beautiful dancers hadn’t died in front of them.
Most people in the world would rather not witness the destruction of beautiful creatures.
Selina was about to quickly join Luke, but he stopped her with a gesture. She looked around warily.
Luke’s gesture meant that it was dangerous and she shouldn’t come any closer.
Luke wasn’t looking at the two dancers he had just saved, but at where the man had been thrown onto the stage.
It was a window high up, which was broken
now.
Through the broken gla.s.s, Luke saw a figure jump and run in this direction.
After a quick glance, Luke immediately ran off with the two dancers in his arms.
The person outside definitely wasn’t a normal person, and a dozen more dancers were still hanging above the stage; they might be wounded if a fight burst out on the stage.
The two dancers had no idea what was going on. All they knew was that someone had grabbed them when they were falling, before running off the stage.
Hey, why are you so strong? Our b.r.e.a.s.t.s hurt a little. Both girls were stunned.
Luke had no time to care about something like that. After taking them off the stage, Luke dashed toward Selina and both of them rushed off.
A moment later, Selina and Luke observed the stage from the gap between the half-opened doors of the hall.
On the stage, the man whose a.s.s was hanging above his head… was human?
He looked more like a monster than a human, though; his clothes and body were that of a human, except that his red skin and the weird black patterns on it made him look like a cosplayer.
Even Luke couldn’t twist his body so that his b.u.t.t was above his head.
“That man is quite flexible,” Selina remarked in a low voice.
Luke nodded in agreement. “Yes, but I’m more interested in the person who threw him in.”
The next moment, a tall person landed on the stage.
Luke’s eyes twitched.
The person had jumped in through the broken window that was almost ten meters up and made a cla.s.sic superhero landing when she hit the floor, kicking up the dust around her.
Luke was surprised to realize that the person was actually a woman.
Then, the female superhero slowly rose with a… whip in her hand.
Her hand moved quickly as she lashed the red-skinned weirdo with her whip.
Suddenly, the weirdo whose a.s.s was above his head turned blurry, before he disappeared and reappeared behind Luke and Selina.
Alarmed, Luke swung around with a kick without any hesitation.
The red-skinned weirdo disappeared again, and Luke’s foot hit nothing but the wall, leaving a deep gouge in it.
The woman on the stage jumped more than thirty meters and landed at the doors. She glanced at Luke when she pa.s.sed him and finally said, “That was a nice kick. Are you a soccer player?”
Luke said, “No, but I used to play football.”
The woman said, “…Alright, get away as soon as you can. That guy is very vengeful. It’s possible that he’ll come back because you tried to kick him, and kill you.”
With a complicated look on his face, Luke nodded. “Got it.”
The woman didn’t say anything else. She continued her pursuit and left.
Noticing the sword and s.h.i.+eld on her back, Luke’s eyes glittered.
Watching the woman leave, Selina couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “Who on earth is she?”
Luke chuckled and rubbed her head. “Forget it. She’s from a different world.”
So, Selina stopped asking.
People were already gathering together in the hall behind them, led by the two dancers who were wearing white, skin-tight costumes.
Most of the time, it was Selina who was the center of attention when she and Luke were together. A young and beautiful girl was always more attractive.
At that moment, however, everyone had gathered for Luke.
