8 Child's play

The boys had been silent in the presence of Heikko, Heikko had a slight smile on his face so it was difficult to read what were his intentions to appear at this time.

the one who had spoken badly of him could not be seen anywhere, it seemed that he preferred to remain anonymous among the mass of children.

Bolti to see that Heikko was here took a gulp of saliva because now that he had challenged Taros to fight for the doll of the sister of Taros, it would be bad in front of the other guys if he takes a step back so he can only go full in aggressive mode.

'' snort, are you coming to get Taros out of this Heikko? Even when you are bigger and a disgrace for not going with the other young people to the expeditions? ''

Bolti could be a pretty annoying boy but he was not stupid when the men reached 12 years old, they started to go to the guards' fields of practice and even went as escorts to the clean expeditions of the low-rank demonic beasts in the zone.

Heikko for being the son of the Great Chief besides his poor talent with the sword was not sent to this place, while Taros was quite puny and preferred to spend the days in his father's workshop learning about carpentry.

'' Haha, do not you see that this is a problem between men? Do not you want to save him as if he was a girl, right? "

Heikko could only sigh at the insidious words of Bolti if he helped Taros out of this with the prestige of his father from now on they would be taken as cowards for several days or even weeks.

'' Taros, you think you can beat this kid ''

'' ..., no problem there ... after all, it does not take 2 weeks to make that doll to give it to the family of another, besides is worse when his sister weighs more than this pig ''

Taros answered in a serious tone while throwing the doll at Heikko.

'' There you have, he says he will face you and save this little doll from dying crushed in the arms of your sister ... ''

Heikko said with a slight smile as he took in his arms the rag doll stuffed with sawdust and wool.

'' hahaha ''

'' ... ''

the kids laughed because it was true that Bolti's sister was even heavier than he was, he merely went red with embarrassment and grumbled a little as he saw Taros with determination to fight him, although they were 2 years apart Bolti was confident that he would win to Taros who was always obsessed with carving wood, not only that but the problem was that his sister liked this scarecrow and he did not understand what she liked about him.

'' snort, mock what you want, that doll will be my sister's and you'll eat dust ... you'll shut up and step aside! Like you Heikko ... ''

Bolti was angry and making use of being the heaviest made the boys stand aside, as for Heikko, he had respect for the Great Chief so he did not offend him and take back his word before he says it.

'It seems that he has a good mind to not be a talker...'

Heikko looked a little contemplative at Bolti while the area where Bolti and Taros were was cleared of boys, for Thurm it was just a children's game and he could remember his years when he fought each week for rubbish, it was a good year, now he had to feed 2 children who had no way to fill.

Taros were on guard, he rarely fought so he did not have much of a combat pose, while Bolti quickly attacked him by taking him a little off guard.

Bolti stopped short before entering fully to Taros, in the next moment Taros threw a swing too open that Bolti could dodge easily to immediately jump to the legs of Taros with his arms open.

''! ''

Taros could only go back and recompose his position, but it was too late because he had Bolti taking him from his right leg.

'' Ku ... I knew you are easy prey ... ''

Bolti said with some difficulty for being in a bad position, in the following he received a couple of hits in the back which did not cause him much damage because he was quite fat.

puff

After a couple of blows, Bolti took the advantage and threw Taros to the floor of the arena listening to this hit the back in the soft sand floor, even though it did not hurt him he was disorientated a bit but Bolti did not miss the opportunity and climbed on Taros immobilizing him on the ground.

Taros tried to struggle and hit Bolti with some despair, even hitting a couple of fists in the face of him, but from his position could not generate much strength, Bolti replied sitting on the stomach of Taros and with 3 strong fists that fell with great weight he leave Taros even more confused and not being able to hit another blow in Balti.

'' haha, I told you, that pair of guys were good for nothing! ''

'' tsk, and to think that the Great Chief would have a son who would come together with this type of garbage friend? pathetic!''

'' hehe, maybe it's that the animals of the same plumage come together? ''

the other children said joyfully offensive words to Taros and Heikko, while the girls did not seem too interested in talking about them but about Bolti who some girls seemed to be interested in him.

'Are they so precocious in this age ..., ugh, I must stop this or Taros will be hurt ...'

Heikko could only shake his head at the painful appearance of his friend Taros and the gossip of the children.

'' ugh ... ''

Turning to see Taros and Bolti again, the winner had already decided, Taros was covering his face while he was beaten all over his body, while Bolti breathed a little agitated while he put a blow on another in the battered body of Taros.

'' enough is enough ... ''

'' tsk, I knew you would save him at the last moment ... ''

Bolti said agitated as he gave a final blow to Taros who could only defend himself in that position.

''well? you give up yourself scarecrow? ''

'' ... ''

Bolti said with some disdain to Taros who could only clench his teeth and look with resentment at Bolti, Bolti thought about giving him another blow so that he would not look at him with those eyes but when turning to see Heikko who looked at him in an indifferent way, he restrained himself.

'' snort, even if you lose you do not want to admit it? if you are a weakling at least have the conscience of one! "

Bolti stopped and by the time he did he had to catch the doll that Heikko had thrown at him before he could complain as Heikko spoke.

'' Since you have won, you have your reward there, I hope you are happy with it ''

'' tch, I do not need you to say it, since I won this doll is mine! ''

Bolti looked at him with a bit of resentment against Heikko and seemed to want to challenge him too but seeing that Thurm was behind him could only offend him a little with words.

'' At least I can defend what I get for myself, I do not need a guard who is behind me 24 hours a day. cleaning my ass like I was a young lady! "

''Haha! It's like a young lady from the south! Heikko the lady! Heikko the miss! ''

the kids looked like parrots who could only repeat the offense of Bolti, seeing the support he had and had won the wrist, Bolti felt somewhat proud, even more, when he watched the guard Thurm tighten his glove.

but when turning to see Heikko who still do not miss the smile on his face and did not seem affected by the screams of the other boys and the laughter of the girls who looked with envy at the hair and skin of Heikko, this gave him a bad feeling.

''Hey? Is it directed to me again? What do you want to gain by provoking me? "

'' ... ''

''Haha!''

Heikko's words were not strong but a chill ran down his back, while the other guys laughed and he remained silent looking at the calm Heikko and responded with courage to not lose the prestige he had just won.

'' and if is so, what are you going to do? accuse me with your guard? Tell the Great Chief that I was bad with you? Am I telling lies? Are you going to fight like your little friend the scarecrow? "

Bolti said arrogantly and the laughter of the boys behind him settled more, but what nobody expected is that Heikko respond calmly, previously in this type of situation Heikko would have gone to accuse them with some guard and they would have fled in the act only to be later reprimanded by their parents.

''I think it's a good idea...''

'' haha walks and runs to tell ... ah? what have you said?''

Bolti was smiling cynically but after hearing this, he thought that he missed his ear, the other guys behind Bolti were somewhat stupefied and could not do anything.

'' I said that we resolve it in a violent way ... perhaps you do not dare? ''

'' ... snort, as if I did not know what your plans are! When you are losing, you will ask your guard for help. "

'' Thurm, do not interfere until I've lost or won, understood? ''

the silence was present again and the boys did not dare to make a joke about it, if the favorite son of the Great Chief was hurt, most secure thing is that they would be beaten at least a number of 2 figures or more in the butt.

'' Young Heikko... I understood ... even so if something happens ... ''

'' This is only children play, understood? everything runs on my own ''

'' ... well Young Heikko ''

Thurm was a little scared, but if Heikko accused him that he had not let him have a fight with a younger boy and said that he interfered in his affairs he would not do well.

'shit ... why he had to be born the courageous at this time, Young Heikko right now if your father comes back and you have a broken face ..., I better stop them before something serious happens'

Thurm took the decision to let them play while there was no blood, although Heikko was thin and a little motherly, he was still a Norseman and he must have some aggression in his blood, if his father found out that Thurm stopped him from getting into One or another mess, The Great Chief probably would not be happy, and if the Great Chief was not happy nobody can be happy.

'' Well nothing will happen, then ... are you ready? ''

'' ..., well ... if you're not worried about I fixing that girly face of you ''

Bolti said with some hesitation, but seeing things had gotten out of his hand, he could only go ahead with the challenge.

Heikko put a Standard combat box position, in his past life had not fought in any discipline even but he had been several times in the boxing ring as Sparring.

Bolti seeing the position of Heikko looked at him more seriously, but seeing that Heikko was an Amateur he smiled with a bit of disdain, to himself he could not stop thinking that while he would not hit him with his fists it would be useful to throw Heikko a couple of times to the ground to learn to behave.

'' If you're afraid it's better that you go Heikko the weakling, I do not know where you got the courage to face me ''

'' ... ''

Heikko did not respond, he already felt bad enough to have to fight with a boy of fewer than 12 years old even worse if he has to start arguing with him.

Bolti threw himself as he had done with Taros, even with these Taros he still looked with resentment at Bolti and with some guilt to Heikko for emboldening him in his problems.

only that unlike Taros, Heikko did not rush to hit Bolti but stepped back and kicked with his left leg.

the kick was a straight front kick to the head of Bolti, Heikko had stepped back to have a better angle and more power.

'' guhh ''

Bolti did not expect Heikko to be so decisive and kicked him as soon as he started, many who do not know how to fight to tend to try to measure the difference of power and launch weak attacks with many openings, it was thanks to his father who had told him this, that He used to take advantage of the less strong ones and beat them when they started.

the kick did not hit him in the face but it does in the sternum causing him to lose his balance and fall to the ground, Heikko did not miss the opportunity and rode on Bolti's back with his knee while with the palms of his hand he hit several blows on the nape of the head of Bolti.

'... hehe I can not believe that I'm being so treacherous with a kid ...'

Heikko felt bad for doing this, but the difference in weight was more than obvious and he could not let him rejoin so easily.

Thurm looked at this with some difficulty, although Heikko was winning when everything was against him, his methods were a bit bad for a friendly match, yet he had to agree on the fact that he was winning against the odds.

only that at that moment Bolti managed to take Heikko's leg and pull him to the side.

Bolti released a heavy blow to Heikko who was lying on the ground next to him, hitting him in the chest.

but Heikko did not panic and captured Bolti's arm to apply a key and climb again on Bolti, this had not released him, so the following was an exchange of blows in the body of each.

'' that ... Heikko was supposed to be a coward, was not he? ''

'' imbecile clear that it is ... only that ... Bolti does not want to leave him so badly! if you humiliate the son of the Great Chief, it will be bad all of us! "

the children were somewhat confused by the fight that Bolti and Heikko had thrown in the sand.

'' with that is enough! ''

Thurm said with a strong tone scaring the children, with extreme speed and ease he separated Heikko who had his hair full of sand and had his hair like a chicken comb, as well as Bolti who was hurt in his arm and had several bumps in the back of the head.
