Ben prepared his bag, went to the train station, and took the train going to Ostfildern.
On the train Ben found all his friends sitting on two foursome seats.
„Hey guys, are you all excited about jumping till you faint?" Ben greeted smiling.
„Not in the least. I just came to look after potential girlfriends." Amadeus answered grinning.
„That's what I expected. I just thought that after you faint, beautiful girls will flood to you trying to help you." Ben joked around.
„Good idea, I think I will try it." Jonas commented.
„Yeah, if you don't breathe you will even lose your first kiss." Tobi joked.
„Wow, that would be a dream coming true." Robin imagined the scene.
„If you nail it, I will respect you from now on." Jonas tried to spur him to do it.
„It will probably end with Robin losing his first kiss from a man. I will gladly film your first kiss, haha" Alex promised, while laughing at the end.
An hour later, the group had arrived at the hall and changed their clothes.
Going into the trampoline section, everyone was taken aback. The hall was like imagined with everywhere trampolins, but it also looked like a disco. Party music, disco balls, and a lot of girls jumping or dancing.
The group became zealous except for Ben. He fought that he would be able to learn to do flips, but they were just too many people jumping on the trampoline and the disco ball made it catchier to see other persons.
Ben looked around to see, if he could found a nice place, that's when he saw his friends mixing to the crowd.
Ben was on the one side happy to be alone to learn.
On the other side, he felt bitter. ´How could you forget me so easily? What is with putting a bro before a ho? I brought you here.´
Ben asked an employee and learned that this hall had 3 sections. Today, the first one was the one before, the second one was for jumping games and the third one was to practice jumps or flips. Ben went to the third section.
That section was currently almost devoid of people. Ben went to the right corner and started to warm-up.
In the next 2 hours, Ben tried from easiest to hardest every flip he knew of.
Front Flip, Backflip, Wallflip, Wall Spin, Gainers, Tumbling, and so on.
Having succeeded in doing the basics, Ben tried doing walltricks and other variations.
Even after failing many times a move, Ben didn't stop. After seeing Ben trying so hard, the few in the section gave Ben advice on how to do the moves.
This showed again how sport units people. Ben learned with the advice and the skill at a monstrous speed.
Ben never intended to learn flips before the rebirth as you could fall badly and be crippled for life. He though it's only use was to brag, but now he changed his opinion. Freestyle helped to increase the control of your body and with his already high control thanks to Parkour, it wasn't risky for him to do flips.
Looking at his watch, Ben decided he should look for his friends. It was 11 pm, he promised to be back before midnight. It may be fine to arrive later, but he shouldn't delay his search.
Going back to the first section, Ben felt like his legs were screaming from overusing them.
He went into the crowd, looking for his friends. He had to push through some groups to advance, this resulted in threatening looks directed at him.
Finding Amadeus talking to a nice looking girl, he poked at Amadeus's shoulders.
„What is, Ben? Are you having fun?" Amadeus loudly asked.
„Yes, I had. I am looking for you because I want to leave now!
Are you coming with me?" Ben responded loudly.
„No way, I have so much fun. Stay with us for at least another hour!!"
„To tired and I promised my mother. Where are the others?"
„You really are momma's boy! No idea, where the rest are, but I guarantee you that everyone wants to stay at least till midnight. If you want to leave, I will say goodbye to the others for you!"
„Thanks, you are my time-saver. Have a nice time and a good
night!"
„Good night."
Leaving the crowd, Ben heads out of the trampoline hall.
He went in the direction of the station.
On his way, he passed through many small streets till the point he heard a female shout of help. „Help me! I am followed."
Ben wasn't a pure-hearted guy, who helps people the moment they needed help, but he would at least look if he could help. Ben went in the direction of the shout, heading in a small alley.
It was pitch-dark, their wasn't any light source in the alley, only the moon shining.
The nearer he runs, the more he heard the voices.
„Wait. I just want to talk to you." A creepy voice said.
„Don't touch me! Help. Please. Someone help me." A girl cried out.
Turning around the right corner, Ben saw a man holding a girl.
„Come on I just want to have fun with you. You shouldn't have shouted, I will punish you."
„F*ck off!"
The scared girl swung her handbag with all her strength against the man. But the distance, the weight of the bag, and her low strength resulted in a weak attack, which was furthermore blocked by the left hand of the man.
In the short moment, Ben was looking at his chances of winning and also observed so that he doesn't misinterpret the situation.
´The man seems to be 23/24. He seems to go to the fitness studio as his muscles are bulky. He has tattoos on his biceps. Doesn't have any bag or weapon. ...
I should be able to handle that as long he doesn't know any martial art.´
The man seemed enraged to be hit by the girl, he pulled her and swung his fist in her abdomen. This action went over Ben's limit. He was so mad that he stepped forward and shouted fiercely.
„You m*therf*cker, why don't you hit someone, who has a longer dick than you."
The girl was on her knees, gasping for air, while she shed tears on the cold concrete.
The man hearing the insult looked at a younger and shorter boy. The man had some experience with brawls, seeing the boy, he became even bolder and responded.
„You little piece of sh*t! Can you repeat that? I will beat your ass till you can't ever sit!"
Ben didn't listen to his response, he observed the stand of the man. Every martial art has a certain combat stance, so the moment martial artist feels danger, he will unconsciously take his stance. Ben didn't see any similarity in the stances of the man and the stances, he saw on the web. He was now ready to fight. He just had to distance the man from the girl, so he shouted:
„Cocks*cker, why don't you come and see how this youngster f*ck you till you wish you were never born."
The man was so furious that he sprinted with all his might to Ben, which was approximately 10 meters.
Reaching Ben, the man threw a full-powered punch to Ben's head. If Ben took this strike, he would no more be able to fight back. Ben however was happy to fight such an amateur. Ben had his foots placed a bit wider to be able to better sidestep.
A second before the strike would hit, Ben sidestepped while slightly tilting his head.
Having missed his head, Ben took hold of the arm and turned his shoulder while kneeling slightly down.
The man threw his punch too much, after missing its goal the impulse wasn't passed on and he would have run in Ben. But the actions of Ben resulted in falling over him at a high speed. Hitting the ground firstly with his forehead, blood was dripping from the cut. The man didn't feel any pain, he was too enraged that he was played by a teenager.
While the man tried to stand up, Ben looked at him amusingly. This was his second fight, he doesn't care about not hitting a man on the ground, but he didn't attack as the fight would end too quickly and It wasn't every day that you had a human sandbag.
´The next time, he runs in my direction what should I try to hit? The chin, the neck, or the nose. The chin will damage my fist. The neck would directly end the battle. So... I will go for the nose.´
The nose is an excellent spot to hit someone if you don't necessarily want to knock them out. Scientifically speaking, a light punch to the nose goes a long way. First, it only takes a few pounds of pressure to break a person's nose, anywhere from 7-9 pounds. A punch square to the nose is disorienting, thanks to the excruciating pain of the broken cartilage and all the blood that goes with it. The nose is also connected to your eyes via tear ducts, meaning damage to the nose often results in tears and, thus, temporary loss of vision, which is the best advantage to have during a one-on-one confrontation.
The man had blood dripping just next to his right eye. He stood up, took three steps, and swung a fist again to Ben.
„I will f*cking kill you!!!"
Ben inwardly sneered.
´How stupid are you? This Daddy will orderly punish you!´
Ben catches the fist with his left hand and misdirected it. The man threw his other punch, but it was already too late.
Ben's right fist punched his nose, resulting in a broken nose and the man shouted while weeping.
This was the first time that Ben hit a strong man, which gave him a feeling of achievement.
Ben wasn't finished, he kicked the man's solar plexus, which resulted in the man gasping for air while weeping in a kneeling position. The man was truly a pitiful state.
´I could aim at the kidney, the neck, the chin, or his balls. Kidney could kill him so no. The neck is difficult to hit if he is down. Kicking the balls would be too cruel. He didn't even injure me or attacked my loved ones. So I should just smash his face!´
Ben was going to step forward, but his left arm was pulled. Just before Ben was going to hit the person with a full force right punch, he remembered that the girl should have been behind him. He relaxed his arm and turned around.
What Ben saw was a beautiful girl with tears in her eyes. She had short black hair, a curvy body, was a head shorter than him, and wore a short jumpsuit with red flowers on it.
´Girl, what is wrong with you? You wear such clothes in a dark alley and additionally, you stopped my fun.´
„Thanks for saving me! I was so scared." Said the girl while her legs trembling.
Ben's blood calmed down, he smiled calmingly and said like a gentleman.
„Not need to thank me. It is a given to save a person in distress. Do you need help?"
„I am fine. Can you please accompany me to my house?"
„Sure, I follow you."
The moment, the girl began to walk in the direction from where Ben came, the man seeing an opportunity to do a surprise attack. Having learned his lesson, he this time throws a kick aiming at Ben's balls.
Seeing the man's attack, Ben jumped from the ground and kicked the joint of the kicking leg. The man was again in pain, but now he couldn't flee. Ben landed, took 3 short steps, and followed with a punch to the jaw. After hitting him, he got hold of his t-shirt, pulled it to him, and followed with a second blow to the solar plexus.
The man fell on the ground while gasping for air, this hit shut up the man.
Ben was overjoyed, he didn't have a lot of fighting experience, but with his strong body and his theoretical knowledge, he subdued a strong grown-up man.
Ben turned around and walked to the girl like he never fought, only the blood on his cloth and his scratches on his fist showed otherwise.
„We should get going before he stands up and attacks me again." Ben lied with a serious expression.
„Yes!" The girl was truly scared of the violent fights so she didn't strike a conversation with Ben.
The girl lived near the station. As she arrived the girl turned back and took two 50€-notes from her wallet.
Seeing that Ben turned around and said: „There is no need for that. Good night."
The girl was completely dumbfounded. She wanted to reward Ben for saving her, thank him a second time, and ask for his name.
But he left after seeing her money. She wanted to stop him, but suddenly Ben sprinted away.
Ben was a millionaire, so why should he care about 100€. If he took the notes, he would have felt ashamed. Ben sprinted forward because he saw his train coming.
Getting on the train, he has a safe way home.
Arriving home at almost 1 am, he silently disinfected his wounds, ate a little snack, and went to sleep.
