I do not own Inazuma eleven.
Enjoy!
The worst-case scenario had happened.
After a few days of school, Blaptox had stopped attending classes.
Instead of learning, he had transformed into what human's call a NEET.
Xene, didn't even know it was possible to become one at this school but Blaptox had somehow figured out how to, despite not understand the written version of the language used at school.
The boy stayed in his room at all hours of the day, and the Principle had finally gotten sick and tired of seeing his little experiment go up in flames, right before his eyes.
He did not revive the boy just so that he could stay in bed all day and eat Crisp's and play video games!
Xene know that if Atsuya Fubuki had the memories that made up his personality, he would have become like this, in fact, the boy would be fighting back.
From what he had seen of Atsuya personality in his twin brother Shirou Fubuki body, the boy would have gotten detention and taken his main abuser's down with him.
Blaptox right now was a lot like his brother Shirou, gentle and very open to the influences around him, if Shirou could crumbled and fall under the pressure pushed on him by his own team, why wouldn't Atsuya who lacked the emotional backbone, succumb to the hatred directed at him for what he was?
Xene, really wanted to tell his father to send Blaptox back to the land of the dead, clearly, the human boy wasn't happy being alive again.
But of course, the man wouldn't listen to him even if he voiced it out.
Instead, the man slammed him with a notice of punishment, because Blaptox was his charge so he bore some responsibility in all of this.
If Blaptox doesn't attend class in the next week, Blaptox wouldn't be the only one finding himself in trouble.
Xene was not looking forward to seeing how creative his own father would be with his latest punishment, he had learned to fear them as a child.
But how do you convince a human boy to attend class, without making it look like you cared? Surely there were camera's in that room to detect if he was acting strangely.
What a hellish task.
Ch 16: Xene guardian 'advice'
"This game is amazing!" Blaptox yelled, he was currently on another planet, trying to stop a ship from leaving the dock's, with his own team behind him.
The real him was, in fact, sitting in his bed, wearing his PJ's with Lost's of crisp packets and cans of soda around him, a giant virtual reality helmet was on his head.
He never know game graphic could look so realistic.
As expected of a high-class school as this.
Did it bother him that he was supposed to be in class right now?
Not one bit.
It was obvious to him that none of the students or teachers wanted him there, so why should he attend a class that would end in his humiliation or his blood pressure raising?
But online it was different.
Online, he could become the most popular player in the Galaxy and he could lie about his race all he wanted and nobody would call him out on it because they weren't next him to notice.
He and his team had managed to successfully stop the remaining ship from leaving the docks, but before he could celebrate, the helmet was suddenly taken off, kicking him back to reality.
Who would dare-
He saw Xene leaning against the wall, with the helmet in his hands.
Well damn.
"So, this is what you've been doing instead of attending classes?" Xene said, twirling the device around his fingers while giving the unkempt boy a look of disdain. "Isn't your route a bit too shameful?"
"What do you care?" Blaptox said, not looking at him. "Nobody in this school wants me here so why should I show my face? It's different for you because your well respected so you wouldn't understand what it's like to be me, for a single day"
"You're right I wouldn't understand," Xene said, much to his surprise. "Because, if I did go through even as half of much as you did. I would kick their ass, no matter how many detentions's I get. I would take them all down with me. But then again, you're not me. You're just a weak humanoid who doesn't know what it means to have a backbone. The fact that words could reduce you to this is pitiful, is shameful."
"It's not just words, you, asshole," Blaptox said, this person wasn't getting it, he didn't care that he just insulted his own guardian. "You wouldn't understand how people look at me when they find out I'm human. It's like I'm an insect."
"Oh, please get off your high horse, you're not that special," Xene said, much to Blaptox irritation. "People would look at you like your freak the moment your different. Look at me, I sit on the top of school, do you think I'm not aware that there are people below me, just waiting to pull me down the moment I make a mistake? Torch and Gazelle have been after my throne from the moment I sat on it. Only somebody who wants to die early would let pressure affect than like a fool."
This person...I have no idea what he's saying. Blaptox thought, who was Torch and Gazelle? Is it because the other boy was an alien, so he naturally had a very different mindset? It didn't feel like their thoughts connected at all.
"Blaptox, from the moment I met you. I despised you at first sight" Xene said, as Blaptox almost anime face fell. "I don't care what you do, I don't even care about being your guardian. I would rather drench myself in acid than breathe the same air as you"
At least he's open about his feeling..Blaptox thought, even his guardian hated him, why was he even here then?
"You can become Human garbage for all I care," Xene said, as Blaptox wondered if Xene just came here to insult him before the alien boy said in a very different and dark tone. "But when the Principle comes down on my head..."
Xene disappeared and reappeared right in front of a very surprised Blaptox, who was suddenly grabbed him his neck and lifted up high.
By one very strong and dangerous arm.
"It becomes my problem," Xene said, in a very dark tone. "Listen, you, humanoid, you WILL attend class tomorrow, do I make myself clear?"
Just one look in Xene eyes and Blaptox understood how serious his situation was.
He had been careless.
Since the moment he had met Xene, some part of him was reluctant to believe that the other boy wasn't like him, despite seeing how different their eating habits were.
Xene looked human enough and his attitude was passable towards him so he didn't think he would ever hurt him.
It never truly hammered into his mind, that Xene could be the worst one of all, that discriminated against humans.
Just his eyes alone told him, he had no problems with killing him.
Xene saw him as nothing more than an insect who he could crush at any time, the only reason why he hadn't done so was because he was important to the Principle.
"I don't care if the teacher's look at you like your trash. I don't care if you have to visit the medical office every hour" Xene said, continue his dark tone. "If you drag me into your mess, I will end you. Do I make myself clear, Humanoid?"
Blaptox who was struggling to breathe nodded his head rapidly, sweat poured down his forehead, exactly afraid for his life.
Xene released him and he crashed into the bed, holding his sore throat while looking at Xene in not so hidden fear.
This guy was a monster.
"I don't know what the Principle ever saw in you, to give you a second chance in life," Xene said, walking away. "Just hurry up and die. There are billion's more like you, ready to replace you. To think, I am a guardian to such a weak and pitiful human" and with that he left, leaving Blaptox to recover from the shock of seeing the 'true' Xene.
Was that really the person he thought of as a possible, acquaintance?!
Seeing the headset on the floor, he felt a rush of shame.
Unknown to him, Xene true aim wasn't to put fear in his heart but to strike where Atsuya Fubuki was.
He had seen that Atsuya was still in there in his thoughts.
How much did Xene have to push him, before the qualities in him came out?
Atsuya may be able to take bullying but there was no way, he would take being degraded like that by the most important person currently in his life, right now.
And Xene gamble had been right.
Blaptox suddenly felt a rush of anger flow through his vein's and the fear he felt a second again quickly disappeared, leaving him with the sense of uselessness.
Sure, when the other student's played mean tricks on him, he had a chance to fight back but Xene had dominated him and turned him into nothing more than a baby without even trying.
Along with anger came a rush of excitement, in that moment he was more Atsuya than Blaptox.
He didn't realise that he was grinning like a lunatic, a smile identical to one the Inazuma eleven would have been shocked to see, the return of.
If he could obtain even a fraction of what Xene had, did that mean he could turn his school life around?
Would he be able to shut them up, and even get acknowledged by Xene?
But could he do it?
He only had a three year's, could he turn his life around in that time?
Going from the lowest of the low to top grade.
That sounded like a challenge he was willing to take.
#A day later#
"What do mean the human quit?" Torch said, he had been looking forward to seeing this human with his own eyes, all week, and now he was receiving word that the human had given up on attending school!
"It exactly as I said, Captain," Napper said, with a cold smirk. "The human couldn't handle how everybody hated him and as a result, the human crumbled like a rock within a few days. I heard he became something called a 'NEET'."
"Well, that's disappointing," Torch said, he had thought the human would last longer than that, "I was looking forward to seeing what kind of person he was" so the principle's experiment had failed before it truly began.
He could almost see the man's rage over his failed project.
"Well, you would be disappointed, Captain," Nepper said, "From the rumours I've heard, he wasn't much."
"Who, wasn't much?" Said an unknown voice and everybody turned to the voice, they almost bent over from the shock, seeing Blaptox walking through the doorway preparing to sit down for class.
"What! He exactly showed up!?" One person said, in disbelief.
Blaptox ignored the shocked look's and want to sit down, but when he sat down on his chair, it suddenly turned into ice mid-way, guarantying that it would be a very painful and cold, sit down.
But Blaptox never sat on the chair, instead, he took the chair next to him, midway and sat on it instead.
"Huh?" Said, somebody.
That wasn't funny at all.
Some of them didn't like how Blaptox wasn't humiliated and his suddenly 'arrogance'.
Suddenly Blaptox felt something slimy on his shoulder making him look, he found that it was the alien girl who dumped her food on him, on his first day here.
She batted her eyelashes and said. "Blaptox, I need your help with this question here. I'm sure you of all people can help me"
Her intention was clear.
It had become common knowledge around the school, that Blaptox couldn't read and she attended to humiliate him with that.
Everybody got ready for a good laugh while Torch thought what was happening around him was pathetic, even though he didn't step in to stop it because he was curious about how the human boy, would react.
Blaptox did not disappoint.
Instead of letting her shame him, he grabbed a lock of her hair and said close to her. "Of course, I would love to help you but are you willing to help me? I'm sure the teacher would be very interested in reading my interpreting since I can't read. I wonder what kind of grade you would get? But then again... if I blab, I'm sure the teacher wouldn't appreciate you 'cheating' and we'll both go down together. So, what do you say? Do you want to go to hell, together?"
Silence.
Who said this human was weak?
This guy had nothing to lose if he went to detention because he was valuable to the principle, therefore, the punishment would be lighter, but her on the other hand...
She didn't know what would await her if she was found cheating, not showing how much the possibility scared her, she gritted her teeth and left, vowing to get revenge.
Maybe he is worth my time. Torch thought, watching from the sidelines.
#Meanwhile in the principal's office#
Krok Klida sat in his office, eating some popcorn he had ordered as he watched what was happening on screen, the screen was giving him an overhead view of the classroom, that his little project was in.
He burst out laughing when he heard Blaptox response.
He was looking forward to the next three years.
And scene!
Next chapter, with renewed determination, Blaptox tries to find out what makes Xene so strong and follows him to the soccer club after school. Where he runs into Reize who tells him he has to he has to pass a test to get in. Review/fav and follow!
