Round 7. Javi vs Adrian

Javi (Up) vs Adrian(Down)

7:12 A.M.

Fran (Top left)   Carlos (Top Right) 

Hugo (Bottom Left)     Nico (Bottom Right)

Fran is still half asleep when he sits down to breakfast in the dining room with Hugo and Carlos. All three of them are 16 years old.

-Good morning- says Fran yawning and sitting next to Carlos.

 -Hey hello man, how are you? What a zombie face. 

-Yeah, I'm dead of sleep.

-Have you studied for the Literature exam?

 -Ehhhh… well, a bit.

 -What a liar. I’m sure you haven't even opened the book- Carlos says after taking a drink of his juice.

Before Fran can answer, a boy appears in front of the table, holding a tray on which he carries his breakfast. Nico. 

-Hi boys, can I sit with you?

Fran opens his mouth to say no, but Hugo acts quicker and clears some table space for Nico, who sits next to him and in front of Fran.

 -Thanks. 

-Well, I'm going-  Fran says angrily while standing up.

-Fran, please stay. We need to talk.You can’t ignore me forever- Nico says before the other boy leaves.

-That sounded so gay- Carlos jokes 
as he eats a cookie.

Hugo look annoyed at Carlos and to shut him up he kicks him under the table, hitting the dark-haired boy between his legs.

OHHHH- Carlos yells grabbing the crotch on his khakis with both hands and opening his mouth in disbelief. 

-Please stay," Nico repeats to Fran, ignoring the other two boys. 

-Okay- Fran answers grumpily as he sits down again. 

Nico looks Fran into his eyes

-I just want to apologize for what happened. I shouldn't have hit you there after your fight against Adrian. I was angry after discovering you used the toe and I didn't think about what I was doing.

-Ah-Fran answers, implying that he doesn't care about Nico's apologies.

 -Come on guys, you've been best friends since kids. Don't be angry about that stupid thing. 

-The truth is that it is not a stupid thing. Fran cheated to win the fight they had, and then Nico hit jim ... OHHHH NOOO 

-Shut up- Hugo says as Carlos rests his head on the table and puts his hands to his crotch again after receiving a second kick in the balls under the table.

-My balls- the boy whispers weakly- oh fuck, my fucking dick and balls.

-Fran, I'm really sorry I did that to you. I just want us to be friends again. As always. Fran stares at Nico thinking about how to react but before he can say anything Carlos intervenes.

-And that's all? Do you really think it will be so easy after what… FUUUUUUUCK

Fran is tired of Carlos today’s attitude and this time it’s him who has taken a quick look of Carlos crotch in his jeans and who has punched that bulge hard. Carlos's scream makes the people at the surrounding tables turn towards them.

-Carlos, we all love you, but shut up. You're being a loudmouth today.

Carlos is about to fall from the chair to the ground due to the pain, but Fran takes pity on him and puts his arm around Carlos to help support him on his chair.

-Ohhhhh… fuck… my balls are broke.

-You will be okay -Fran says- an regarding to you, Nico, im also sorry for cheating. Friends?

-Friends- Nico answers with a giant smile.

-Will you accompany me to buy Manu cigarettes?- Fran asks him.

-Sorry, I haven’t eaten anything yet. 

-I’ll go with you- Hugo says standing up while Carlos is still in pain and with the upper part of his body leaning on the table.

When the two boys are already at the dinning room Fran turns to Hugo smiling. 

-You love him, right? 

-Whom- the blond boy asks, playing dumb.

 -Oh come on, Carlos, obviously. 

 -N… no… I don't love him.

 -Oh come on, don’t lie, it’s so obvious you do. You gawk at him.

The three boys start going upstairs towards the boys rooms 

-Mmmmm okay ... I like him a bit. 

-Oh yes, a bit... - Fran says jokingly 

-Ok, a lot, are you happy? If you tell him or anyone else, I'll kill you.

 -Eh eh eh don't worry Hugo. But one question. Why are you always hitting him in the balls? That way you won't achieve  anything.

-It's just… I… nothing, you're going to laugh at me. 

-Come on blondy, speak. We are friends. 

-It's just that ... it's the only way I have ... to touch his package.

Fran starts laughing helplessly and Hugo slaps his balls with the back of his hand.

 -Ahhhhhh 

-First advise. 

-But Hugo, treat him well if you like him- Fran says covering the package to avoid more attacks while the boys cross the corridor of the rooms- And then get closer to him in a nice way. That way maybe you will able to suck his dick.

-EHHHH I did not say that I want to suck his cock, you dirty- Hugo says turning red.

-But you want to- Fran replies- Is it true that his dick is giant- Nico asks. 

-Carlos? Yes. His is much bigger than mine. It might be like 4,7 inches soft more or less.

 -Well, it’s easier been bigger than you Hugo. Ey, ey it was just a joke don’t hit me.  And trust in me: start been nice to him well, blondie. If not, he will hate you.

-But he doesn't like boys- Hugo says, biting his lip nervously. 

-Well, surely those who treat him well have a better chance of liking him than those who hit him in the balls.

 -Okaaaaay, I'll try to be nicer to him- Hugo says rolling his eyes. That’s  Manu's room.

Meanwhile, Carlos and Nico finish their breakfast, stand up from the table and walk slowly towards the dining room exit.

 Carlos walks with a limp and clutching his sore balls with his right hand, while Nico helps him to stay upright.

 -Does it hurt a lot?

 -Yes - Carlos answers weakly - the day has just started and I have already received three fucking hits in the groin.

-Well, you will be ok.

 Seeing Carlos limp and grab his nuts in pain provokes laughter from a group of 12 or 13-year-old children whom Carlos glares angrily before heading out into the hall. 

-Oh shit, I think my balls are getting sore. Why do you think he's such a jerk to me?

 -Hugo? I don't know, maybe he loves you- Nico answers ironically. 

-Hahahaha, impossible.

——————————————————-

7.28 A.M

When Manu, who is also 16, is about to leave his room, Hugo and Fran knock on his door to buy him cigarettes. 

-One moment. Manu closes the door for them and takes out two packets of cigarettes from his hiding place, a hole in the ground that he can open and close with a couple of loose boards. Then he replaces the boards and opens the door for Fran and Hugo.

-Pass. You already know the price- says Manu, giving them the tobacco packets and taking the money. -And you know, if someone discovers you, I don't know anything. 

-Perfect. 

-Thanks Manu. See you this afternoon at the fight? 

-Yes, see you later. Have you seen my brother?

 -Mmm no, but he might be in the gym

-Ok, thank you. 

A couple of minutes after they leave, Manu has already hid the money and he also leaves the room, locks it, and goes to the gym to look for his brother.

But when he arrives he finds two boys practicing a series of movements, which brings Manu the first smile of the day.

 -Wow, two clowns- Manu says happily. 

The two boys turn to him. The smaller one, Miguel Angel, who is 15, blushes at the comment. The other one, Alberto, who is 17, simply extends his hand towards Manu. 

Miguel Ángel (Left).       Alberto (Right)

-Come.

Alberto is Manu's best friend. And Manu is Alberto's only friend, whose cold and distant personality (and the fact of been the director’s son) has always made it very difficult for him to make new friends. The two boys have had a good relationship for years and share the same ironic sense of humor. They spend a lot of time messing with each other, but they love each other like brothers.

 -What are you doing? - Manu asks, surprised to see Alberto with Miguel Ángel. 

-I'm teaching Miguel Ángel self-defense.

-HAHAHA, WHAT?

Last week Alberto  defended Miguel Ángel from Artem, who tried to hit the boy in revenge for eliminating him from the tournament. And from that moment on, something unexpected has happened for Alberto. The boy began to like him and when two days ago he asked him to teach him to fight, he accepted.

 -Yes, self defense, is there something wrong? 

-No no, nothing. I’m just impressed you are making friends- Manu says simply to anger Alberto. 

-Jealous? 

-You wish. 

-Look, taking advantage of the fact that you are here, I'm going to show Miguel Ángel a movement. Open your legs. 

-Ha, no. 

-I'm not going to hurt you. I promise. 

-Nah, you want to hit me in the balls.

-Nooo, trust in me Manu. You are my best friend.

-Okay- Manu finally accepts, spreading his legs. 

-Miguel Ángel. Pay attention. Lesson number 1 in a fight. Never trust your opponent. Never. 

Manu raises his eyebrows understanding what is going to happen, but before he can close his legs Alberto's red shoe hits the large bulge between his legs, crushing the bulge in Manu's white pants.

 -Oh ... oh ... ohhhhhh 

Manu tries to remain standing, but two seconds later he falls to the ground and begins to writhe in pain at the astonished gaze of Miguel Ángel, who was not expecting that blow either.

-That… that was so hard… Alberto. 

-Nah, don’t think so. It has been a soft hit. What happens is that he and his brother have crystal eggs. They have them extra large, but at the slightest blow they are already on the ground.

 -Really? Edu too? He is the strongest boy in the boarding school. - Miguel Ángel asks surprised.

 -And the one with the biggest eggs. Well and you too Manu, don't be jealous. But they have them ultra sensitive. 

Miguel Ángel squats next to Manu, who is on the floor in a fetal position.

-Ey, are you ok?

-It…it hurts a lot- the boy answers with his eyes closed and covering his manhood.

-Common, take my hand.

One minute later Manu is standing up with Miguel Ángel’s help, with his hand inside of his trousers.

-Why did you do that?- Manu asks, angry.

-Just for fun. Do you forgive me?-Alberto answers innocently. 

Manu slowly stands up completely and stares Alberto with his face full of anger.

-I will revenge.

-I know.

-You have kicked me in the balls.

-I know. They felt so soft.

-Fuck you, it hurts.

-I know. Can you put your hand out of there? It’s not polite.

-A gay fight?- someone asks from the door.

Edu.

Edu

-Another clown- Manu mutters.

-Why are you discussing? ¿Did you… ahhhh hahaha have they hit you in the balls?- Edu asks when he sees how his twin grabs his big crotch. 

Edu and Manu are twins, but they don't look alike physically. Edu is much taller and stronger and more handsome. He is a great athlete who trains daily and the strongest guay in the boarding school. Manu is slimmer and shorter, but also smarter than his brother. Yet they both have some common traits. For example, a mole on their right cheek. Plus, they're both exactly the same down there, both in size and fragility.

 -No- Alberto answers. 

-Yes, a kicks- Miguel Ángel answers shyly.

-Traitor- Alberto answers. 

Alberto gives Miguel Ángel a friendly slap and Manu takes advantage of the distraction to punch Alberto hard in the balls with the back of his fist. 

-Shiiiiiit- the boy says leaning down and putting his hands on his knees. -Good aim.

 -I know. Thank you- Manu responds. 

-You know what this means? This is war- Alberto says, and a second later he friendly sack taps an astonished Miguel Ángel, causing laughter from Manu and Edu.

The boys begin to move around the room trying to hit the others in the balls and at the same time stop their attacks. Soon the laughter and grunts of pain from the four boys fill the room. The blows are of course not strong, but still everyone tries their best not to get hit. After a couple of minutes Alberto stops from exhaustion and frowns. 

-Ehh, you haven't taken any hit, bastard- he says looking at Edu.

 -It's true-  Manu says looking at his brother.

-Lets get him- Miguel Ángel adds.

 -What? No, no, no please- Edu pleads when the three boys go towards him- then I'm going train in the pool and if you hit me there I won't be able to. Alberto stop! Manu!

The three boys surround Edu, who grabs the bulge in his pants thinking about how to escape from what’s coming.

-Manu, brother, I love you. Please not my balls.

-You just hit me a moment ago!

-Sorry. 

-Don't be pathetic Edu, let us hit you

 -No kidding. 

Finally the four boys leave the gym a few minutes later and go to the dining room for breakfast.

-I hate you, I'm not going to be able to swim- Edu says, grabbing his package as he walks.

-Baby- Manu answers.

-You are a baby, I have just given you a little kick and you almost cried-  Alberto says. 

-A big kick.

 -No, It was a gently one.

 -Liar. You almost broke my balls.

 -It was gently. It's tanto to my fault if you are a baby.

 -You are just jealous because my balls are bigger

-Hahaha, you are -all crazy- Miguel Ángel says when they arrive at the dining room.- Well, see you later.

 Miguel Ángel goes to sit with his class friends, and Edu goes with his girlfriend.

-So you made a new friend ? -Manu asks.

-Miguel Angel? Well, he is a nice boy. 

-Oh wow, Alberto making friends. Are you sure you don't have a fever?

 -You want another kick in the balls, right? 

-Lol no- Manu answers- they are already almost broken.

17:00

Adrian and Javi arrive at the gym at practically the same time, and after entering the combat zone they politely shake hands. Both agreed that the referee for the fight was Juan, who was waiting for them.

Javi, 17, wears a black T-shirt and short jeans where a small bump is visible. He is a good boy who is nevertheless determined to win and knows that although he is taller and stronger than Adrian, he must not underestimate his opponent. The boy has black eyes and his hair, which is the same color, is quite short. He has been wearing a small beard for a few months. It is not the first time that he struggles to stay in the tournament, last week he already faced Matias and Raul, and at the end it was Raul who lost and was humiliated in front of the entire boarding school when they undressed him. Since then Raul has only been seen during class hours, and has spent the rest of the time in his room. His girlfriend and his friends have abandoned him.

Javi

It's neither the first time that 16-year-old Adrian struggles to stay in the tournament. A few weeks ago he eliminated Nico by manipulating the rules in his favor to squeeze his balls until he won. The boy has a medium height and although he is not very strong, he has some muscles. The glasses he normally wears have been replaced by contact lenses for the fight. He wears black sweatpants and a gray tank top. His brown eyes are fixed on Javi's.

Adrian

Today there is less public than usual. Not because the fight is not interesting, but because the boarding school exam time has arrive and many students prefer to spend this Sunday afternoon to study. Even so, Javi can distinguish among the public several of the other contestants of the tournament: Fran, Nico, Diego, Ruben, Artem ...

-Remember the rules- Juan says- The fight will end when one of you surrenders or when the other immobilizes him on the ground for ten seconds. You cannot receive help from any person or use objects. Anything goes except biting, pulling hair, or drawing blood. Good luck and may the best man win.

Juan

Adrian and Javi start to circle in front of each other. Javi is the first to launch a punch at Adrian's face, but with surprising agility Adrian dodges the blow and punches the bulge between Javi's legs.

Adrian's fist crushes Javi's balls against his pelvic bone, causing a severe pain to rise to his stomach. Javi didn't expect Adrian to start playing so dirty, and he uses one of his hands to cover his sore pack, while with the other one he starts throwing  punches to Adrian. 

Adrian easily dodges almost every blow and lets Javi waste his energy. But suddenly Javi manages to hit Adrian square in the jaw, which destabilizes and enrages the boy. Then Adrian suddenly hit Javi between the eyes, momentarily blinding him and making the boy put both hands to his face. Adrian smiles when he realizes that Javi has left his weakest point, the balls, vulnerable, and takes advantage of the situation to give him a painful knee to the nuts.

Adrian himself hurts his knee and starts jumping up and down to try and ease the pain. But the worst part has obviously been taken by Javi, who after receiving the blow ducks down and covers his aching masculinity again. Javi cannot believe what is happening. He's never been a great fighter, but he didn't think Adrian was going to give him any trouble. And yet he has already given him two blows to his balls, that burn terribly. Javi starts to sit up with the intention of teaching Adrian a good lesson, but when he gets upright he can't see him.

-Surprise- Adrian says from behind him. 

Before Javi can do anything, Adrian takes advantage of the fact that Javi has left his package unprotected again and kicks between the boy's legs, hitting him again in the balls. Javi feels the greatest pain of his life and screams like a wounded animal. He feels like his eggs are breaking and he just wants to curl up on the floor and put ice on his balls. 

-Fucking fag, I will teach you a lesson- Javi says through his teeth as he grabs his balls and fights not to fall to his knees.

Adrian smiles at the boy's vain threats and thinks that it is time to end the fight, so he grabs Javi's pants and pulls them down to the ground, leaving the boy in his boxers, that are decorated with drawings of the Donald Duck. Immediately the public's laughter starts to resonate, and Javi makes a big mistake, a mistake that Raul already made in his fight against Miquel; he reaches down to grab his pants. This leaves him in a very vulnerable position, and Javi smiles and does the same thing that Miquel did with Raul, he launches a new devastating kick at Javi's bulge, hitting his two small balls squarely.

 Immediately Javi's eyes roll blank and saliva escapes from the corner of his lips. His legs loosen and the boy falls to the ground, first on his knees, and then facing the ground.

Adrian doesn't waste time strutting, he knows that would be stupid, and he steps on Javi's back. Juan starts the count and ten seconds later he declares Adrian the winner of the fight. 

The entire audience is speechless. The fight has only lasted three minutes, and Adrian has destroyed Javi receiving only one hard hit, that punch to the jaw. In the tournament, nobody had thought that Adrian would be a rival with opportunities, but he has already defeated Nico and Javi. Adrian has always been considered a good boy, but now some of the other boys start thinking that he is going to be a strong competitor. He is the first boy who ends a challenge without receiving any not shot.

-Incredible- Matias says to Adrian. 

-Thanks, but it was good luck- the boy answers shyly before going with his friends to celebrate his victory. 

A few minutes later everyone but Javi and Juan has left the room.

-Ugh, he got me good

-Yes, he did. I think he is not as an angel as everyone believes.

-Maybe. Could you bring me some ice, please?

—————————————————————

Monday. 2:31 A.M

Diego

Diego stares at the stars in the garden. He can’t sleep. Lately, with the stress of exams, it happens often, he spends his nights awake. And although there is a curfew at the boarding school at night and you cannot leave your room, lately Diego often escapes to the front garden to get some fresh air and relax. 

Today there is a full moon, and from where he is sitting, next to the window through which he has gone out to the garden, he can see the fence that surrounds the boarding school. He has always thought that escaping from boarding school would be easy. The difficult thing would be later, because the boarding school is surrounded by miles and miles of mountains and forest in all directions. The few times someone has tried to escape, they have always failed. Some of them because they have been found, others because they have come back due to the cold, fear of wild animals or the fact of not knowing where to go. The only road that leads to the boarding school, narrow and steep, is not an option either.

Diego is still focused on the boarding school fence when he suddenly hears a loud blow and a heartrending scream, and then a huge bulge falls a few meters in front of him. Diego lets out a small cry from the fright and he puts both hands to his mouth to avoid screaming louder. But that fright is nothing compared to the fear that arises in him when he realizes that what has fallen next to him, surely from the tower of the boarding school, is a person. And although he can't see that person face, he immediately know who it is when he sees his red shoes.

Diego runs quickly to enter the boarding school again through the window and go to his room, although halfway there he hits the button for the fire alarm, activating it. 

Two minutes later the boarding school janitor finds the body of a student in the front garden. He immediately realizes that he must have fallen from one of the upper floors. The boy is still alive, but perhaps for a short time.

Javi eliminated. 13 boys left.
