now it pushes my shoulders and my feet backward, shoots out my hips, and when I come loose my body's tight,nothing stringing out behind me. Watch this."Ender forced his hips forward, which shot him away from the wall; in a moment he readjusted his position andwas kneeling, legs downward, rushing toward the opposite wall. He landed on his knees, flipped over on hisback, and jackknifed off the wall in another direction. "Shoot me!" he shouted. Then he set himself spinning inthe ar as he took a course roughly parallel to the boys alang the far wall. Because he was spinning, they couldn'tget a continuous beam on him.He thawed his suit and hooked himself back to them. "That's what we're working on for the first half hourtoday. Build up some muscles you didn't know you had. Learn to use your legs as a shield and control yourmovements so you can get that spin. Spinning doesn't do any good up close, but far away, they can't hurt you ifyou're spinning -- at that distance the beam has to hit the same spot for a couple of moments, and if you'respinning it can't happen.

I want you bumping into each other and learning how to deal with it all thetime, except when we're practicing formations, and then I'll usually have you bump into each other on purpose.Now move!"When he said move, they moved.Ender was the last one out after practice, since he stayed to help some of the slower ones improve on technique.They'd had good teachers, but the inexpenienced soldiers fresh out of their launch groups were completelyhelpless when it came to doing two or three things at the same time. It was fine to practice jackknifing withfrozen legs, they had no trouble maneuvering in midair, but to launch in one direction, fire in another, spin twice,rebound with a jackknife off a wall, and come out firing, facing the right direction -- that was way beyond them.Drill drill drill, that was all Ender would be able to do with them for a while. Strategies and formations werenice, but they were nothing if the army didn't know how to handle themselves in battle.He had to get this army ready now. He was early at being a commander, and the teachers were changing therules now, not letting him trade, giving him no top-notch veterans.
