Still, he had learned some things about weightshifting in personal combat class, and about the physics ofmoving objects. Game battles almost never got to hand-to-hand combat-- you never bumped into an enemy thatwasn't frozen. So in the few seconds he had, Ender tried to position himself to receive his guests.Fortunately, they knew as little about nullo fighting as he did, and the few that tried to punch him found thatthrowing a punch was pretty ineffective when their bodies moved backward just as quickly as their fists movedforward. But there were some in the group who had bone-breaking on their minds, as Ender quickly saw. Hedidn't plan to be there for it, though.He caught one of the punchers by the arm and threw him as hard as he could. It hurled Ender out of the way ofthe rest of the first onslaught, though he still wasn't getting any closer to the door. "Stay there!" he shouted at hisfriends, who obviously were forming up to come and rescue him. "Just stay there!"Someone caught Ender by the foot.

If the boy had let go just as Ender kickeddownward, it would have hurt much less and allowed Ender to use the maneuver as a launch.

Ender grasped the shoulders of the third boy's shirt and pulled him up sharply,butting him in the face with his helmet. Again a scream and a shower of blood. The two boys who had his legswere wrenching at them, twisting him. Ender threw the boy with the bleeding nose at one of them; theyentangled, and Ender's leg came free. It was a simple matter then to use the other boy's hold for leverage to kickhim firmly in the groin, then shove off him in the direction of the door. He didn't get that good a launch, so thathis speed was nothing special, but it didn't matter. No one was following him.He got to his friends at the door. They caught him and handed him along to the door. They were laughing and第 124 页 共 340 页http://www.en8848.com.cn/ 原 版 英 语 阅 读 网
