To dodge those "overly enthusiastic" senior girls and make it to class on time, Ye Feng had taken a detour that lasted a full half-hour after leaving the dormitory.

As for the control mechanism, Ye Feng had just observed it and figured it was probably similar to a balance scooter—relying entirely on personal talent and practice.
