They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System
Chapter 131 - 131 Combination

Chapter 131: Combination Chapter 131: Combination The fabric was lightweight yet structured enough to avoid getting tangled in footwork.

The color was a deep royal blue, matching Lora’s dress to create unity between them as performers.

She paired it with a fitted bodice with sheer sleeves.

The top was tailored to accentuate posture and grace, necessary for ballroom dancing.

It had sheer, lightweight sleeves that covered Nnenna’s arms while still allowing for expressive movements.

And of course, to maintain her secret, Lora gave her a matching veil with an attached headwrap.

Instead of a loose scarf that could slip mid performance, Lora helped Nnenna adjust a headwrap that secured her hair and face covering in place.

The attached veil was designed to stay firm while still allowing enough air circulation for comfort.

It also had slight embroidery that matched the detailing on her bodice.

Finally, she handed Nnenna soft ballet style slippers.

Since heavy shoes would limit movement, Lora suggested soft dance slippers that allowed for easy gliding, turns, and quick hip hop footwork.

Lora examined Nnenna’s new look and grinned.

“This is perfect!

It keeps you covered, but it also gives you that dancer’s elegance and freedom.

Plus, it matches my outfit, so we’ll look like a coordinated duo on stage,” she said excitedly.

Nnenna turned slightly, testing the outfit’s feel.

It was surprisingly comfortable, and the skirt’s flow felt natural as she moved.

“Alright, I think this will work,” Nnenna said with a small smile.

Nnenna walked to the mirror and admired herself for a moment, appreciating how the outfit blended both elegance and movement.

Then, turning to Lora, she asked, “So, do we practice a bit?

How are we going to do this?

My dancing is more of a ballroom style, and yours is hip hop, right?

So how do we make this work here?” Lora crossed her arms, thinking.

“You’re right.

Ballroom is graceful, smooth, and controlled, while hip hop is sharp, expressive, and unpredictable.

But that contrast could make for an incredible performance if we sync them properly,” she said, eyes lighting up with excitement.

Nnenna nodded, intrigued.

“So, where do we start?” “Let’s just move first,” Lora suggested.

“We won’t get it perfect immediately, but we can get a feel for each other’s style.

You bring the elegance, I’ll bring the energy, and we’ll find the balance as we go.” They cleared the space around them moving their outfit racks to the sides.

They stood at the middle surrounded by the rest of the performers who had stopped performing and came to practice with them after the assistant to Lora told them what was going on.

The music started, and Nnenna instinctively moved into a poised stance while Lora bounced lightly on her feet, already feeling the beat.

Their first attempt was… messy.

Lora’s fast, sharp movements sometimes clashed with Nnenna’s fluid, sweeping motions.

A few times, they nearly collided, laughing it off.

Other times, their footwork was completely out of sync.

But in between the awkwardness, there were moments of brilliance, when a spin blended seamlessly into a quick step or when Nnenna’s controlled turns created a striking contrast to Lora’s dynamic shifts.

“Okay, okay,” Lora said breathlessly after a few minutes.

“It’s rough, but I see something there.

We just need to smooth it out.” Nnenna nodded, catching her breath.

“Yeah, I felt it too.

Some of the transitions worked really well.

We just need to figure out how to make everything connect smoothly.” They shared a look, determination in both their eyes.

It wasn’t perfect yet, but the potential was there.

And with time, practice, and a little patience, they were about to create something truly unforgettable.

An hour later.

“I think we finally got it,” Lora said in relief, wiping a bit of sweat from her forehead.

“Yes, I think so too,” Nnenna replied, catching her breath.

She glanced at the instrumentalists, who were tuning their instruments and going over their rhythm one last time.

“Your crew has really gotten the song and instruments down well,” she added, impressed by their dedication.

“They’re my talented friends,” Lora said proudly.

“Okay, let’s go, then.” She straightened up, mentally preparing herself.

The instrumentalists nodded, giving them the signal that they were ready.

The soft strumming of a string instrument mixed with the steady beat of a drum filled the air.

At first, the music was slow, steady, and graceful, setting the tone for Nnenna’s entrance.

She stepped forward elegantly, her movements smooth and refined, embodying the grace of ballroom dance.

Her arms flowed like water, and her steps carried an effortless precision, drawing in the eyes of the few passersby who had stopped to watch.

Then, the tempo picked up.

Lora joined in, seamlessly adding her energetic hip hop elements to the routine.

She moved with confidence, her footwork quick and sharp, contrasting yet complementing Nnenna’s fluid elegance.

They danced in perfect harmony, combining the poise of ballroom with the expressive energy of hip hop.

As the performance continued, more people began to gather.

The beats grew stronger, and the dancers fed off the growing energy of the crowd.

The instrumentalists played with increasing enthusiasm, adjusting the rhythm naturally to match the dancers’ movements.

“Wow!

Look at them move!” a young boy in the crowd exclaimed.

“I’ve never seen ballroom and hip hop mixed like this before,” an older woman murmured in amazement.

“This is incredible!

They’re perfectly in sync!” another onlooker added, clapping along to the beat.

By the time they finished their routine with a dramatic final spin and a synchronized bow, the audience had nearly doubled.

The cheers and applause were deafening.

Some people even threw coins and small bills into a makeshift collection bowl near the stage.

“That was amazing!” one of the instrumentalists said, grinning at Lora.

“You two really brought the performance to life!” Lora turned to Nnenna, excitement in her eyes.

“I think we just became the most talked about performers in this market,” she laughed.

Nnenna, still catching her breath, smiled.

“And I think we just proved that two different styles can come together beautifully.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS JedidiahBeaufoy Your gift is the motivation for my creation.
