I do not own inazuma eleven.
Enjoy!
The news that Blaptox had started to attend class again with a new mind-set, spread like wild fire throughout Alius Academy, there was no shortage of surprise faces since when thought he had quit.
With a new mind set, he would still getting picked on but he wasn't willing to take and swallow the abuse like before, his old personality was starting to show and the innocents that Blaptox extruded when he first woke up turned almost devilish, especially if anybody tried to remind him of his place.
Because of this, some of his tormentors started to back off but nobody thought of him as one of them despite having the attitude of somebody strong.
He may have the mouth but he couldn't stand on his own.
There was an immense gap between him and them and Blaptox, know it too.
Not only could he still not read, he didn't have the body to do anything but make threat's.
Blaptox may have been regarded as strong, almost a decade ago by Earth's standards, but compared to the monsters at the school, he was only at the level of a baby.
Blaptox was suddenly aware of how incredibly hard it would be for him to stand right next to Xene and be respected by those around him.
It was painful seeing the difference in physic.
If he ran, then there was always somebody able to outrun him.
If he jumped, then there was always who could outjump him.
If he thought he had talent in a certain area of life, some random alien would come along and put him to shame.
If this was Earth, the result would clearly be different because of the limitations of the human body.
It was no wonder those who could achieve beyond this couldn't be classed as Human.
But this wasn't Earth.
If he wanted to bridge the gap, he would have to become somebody who wouldn't be classed as human.
He would have to abandon his humanity.
Which was easier said than done.
If he offended the wrong person, here, there was no law in place to prevent somebody from kicking his ass and sending him to the infirmary.
He already know, never to offend Xene.
Just one look into the boy's eyes and he could tell, the alien thought of him as nothing but a bug under his foot.
He wasn't even in his sights.
And that frustrated him.
What did he have to do to bridge the gap between them?
Having nobody else to rely on, he was forced to see Xene as either an older brother or a father figure in his life, so naturally he would want his acknowledgement.
He wasn't so lost enough in thought, that he didn't notice Xene suddenly walked right passed him.
Ch 17: The Barrier between the weak and the strong.
Xene, dressed in his Genesis Captain uniform, was well aware that Blaptox was following him.
If he hadn't spent over a thousand-year's learning not to display his emtotion, he would be grinning from ear to ear.
Blaptox thoughts not only showed how young he exactly was, but it practically being broadcasted.
He could tell Blaptox had finally realized that on certain days, he didn't come to pick him up, when school was over so his eyes blazed with curiosity, about where Xene want, during those days.
It was the first time Blaptox had seen him in his soccer uniform so he found it very strange to look at.
So taking the opportunity to seize his own personaly, super rear enjoyment, he didn't say anything and allowed the human boy to follow him, he walked to one of four Alius Academy personal soccer training ground's.
Outside the school.
And it was not protected by a force field, so if Blaptox didn't magically hav lungs to survive in space than he would defiantly die.
But knowing his father, the man wouldn't allow Blaptox to die just like that, because he simply took a step outside.
At the corner of his eye, he saw Blaptox watch, emit a blue glow and surrounded the human boy's body, suddenly Blaptox looked like he wasn't deep in space without a helmet and oxygen tank.
Seeing he was fine, Xene than walked along the field and to a weirdly shape building that had Blaptox in awe, the very doors were made out of gem's and above the door the words 'Aluis Academy Invisible Soccer Club 1'.
Not that Blaptox could read it.
In front of the door were guard's, preventing anybody that wasn't part of the Soccer club from getting in.
Blaptox didn't know that there are countless schools, all over the galaxy who would do anything to get a glimpse of the inside of an Alius academy training ground.
The guards obviously recognized Xene and said. "Welcome, Xene-sama" their voices full of extreme respect while opening the door and Xene passed through without saying a world, wondering if Blaptox would attempt to follow him.
He did.
But when Blaptox want to follow him, a barrier suddenly sprung and repelled him, knocking him off his feet.
"What is a humanoid doing here?" One of the guards said, doing a complete one-eighty in attitude.
"This place is for the strong. You should leave human." The other guard said, as more student's in their soccer uniforms arrived and they allowed them through.
Why not him!?
"What do I have to do to get in?" Blaptox said, if Xene was in this place, then he had to go in there too.
"Did I just hear right?" The guard on the left said. "You, a human, want to get in?"
"Forget it. You won't even be able to get on the reserved team" The other one said, as they both laughed.
"Who are you to decide!? You won't know until I try!" Blaptox said, angry that they were mocking him and angry at himself for not being strong enough to shut them up. "How hard can it be?"
"You greatly underestimate Alius Academy, boy" Said, a voice that literally appeared out of nowhere, Blaptox turned slowly around and was shocked to see a tall guy with pointy ears and wavy black hair.
He would have passed as Human if not for his eyes.
The guy's eyes were completely black eyes with orange pupils and black Erises.
This person was Desarm, the captain of Alius Academy first ranked team, Epsilon and from the looks of it Blaptox had offended him, somewhat with that one sentence.
Just from the look in his eyes alone, made Blaptox take an unconscious step back.
"Master Desarm!" One the guards said, obviously recognizing the Alien.
"I'll advice you not take Alius Academy so lightly, boy." Desarm said, so... this was the human that got into the school? "You'll end offending the wrong person and from what I hear. Xene, won't be there to save you"
Who is this person who could call Xene by his name without respect? Blaptox thought in shock, he could tell just by looking at him, this person was somebody big inside the school.
Desarm walked to the entrance and was allowed inside.
Blaptox tried to use him to get in but was once again denied and yelled. "OH, COME ON! LET ME IN!"
He could see the realm of the strong, right before his very eyes!
"Like we said before, nobody that isn't in the club can enter." The guard on the right said, well the principle was an except to the rules, because that man scared all of them.
"Then, let me take the test!" Blaptox said, all because he was human, they wouldn't let him through?
That was decimation!
"Go back, human" The guard on the left said.
"No, let him take the tast." Said, another voice that came out of nowhere startling him once more.
Blaptox turned around to find a boy the same height as him, with olive green hair that went everywhere.
This person was Reize, the captain of Alius academy reserved team 'Gemini Storm'.
And even though he was only a captain on the reserved team, Reize was still a captain and whenever Gemini Storm was sent out, they always won the game every time, so the guards had to treat him with some kind of respect.
Although nowhere near as much as Desarm, but they still had to be respectful.
"Welcome, Captain Reize" One of the guards said and Blaptox couldn't help but notice the difference in tone to when they addressed Xene or 'Master Desarm'.
"Allow this human to take the test and since the usual time for anybody, who wants to get on a team, has long since gone passed. I will be the one testing him" Reize said.
"What?" One of the guards said, clearly shocked and Blaptox was shocked to.
"There is no rule that a human cannot join a team, right?" Reize said.
"Y-Yes, there is no rule" One guard on the left said.
"Then let me test him." Reize said, before turning to the stunned Blaptox and saying. "And depending on how you preform. I will consider putting you on my team. But bear in mind, if you can't swim, you would surely sink"
Why did I feel like that is kind of quote from somewhere? Blaptox thought, with a sweat drop before saying.
"Bring it on" if he could enter the realm of the strong and get to where Xene was, then he would take the test.
Reize smiled and a shiver ran down his spine.
Minutes later, Blaptox realized exactly why he felt a chill down his spine when he entered a small room that had the shape of a rectangular and right behind him was something that looked suspiciously like a furnace.
"Now, before we begin. Let me introduce myself to you, so listen up" Reize said, "My name is Reize and I am the Captain of the Alius team called Gemini Storm. Even though we are considered inferior to the other team's. What people can say, is that we are incredibly fast and have stamina. So, to get on my team you will have the legs of player"
And Blaptox was suddenly self-conscious of his leg's.
"Now here is my test" Reize said, as Blaptox braced himself for the worst.
"I want you to be ahead of this Furnace for four straight day's" He said, much to Blaptox shock as Reize pit of fiery hell."After each day, it would become more difficult to escape the furnace even sometimes, you would feel a pulling sensation that would make it harder to run forward. You won't be allowed to sleep or be served food. If you stop running, you will automatically fail my test."
"ARE YOU SERIOUS!?" Blaptox said, shocked.
Was that humanly possible!?
Than he remembered this guy wasn't human.
Could Xene also do this test easily?
But to run with eating was hellish.
"There is no shame in dropping out now." Reize said, "I heard the Human body is quite limited."
Blaptox know what was happening.
He was being looked down upon because he was Human.
Even though it was dangerous for his body, he could see that if he succeeded than he would be a step closer to Xene.
"I won't drop out. I will complete this. Just you watch!" Blaptox said, with eyes filled with determination reminding Reize of a certain human boy on Earth.
"Very well, then" Reize said, and he disappeared.
Then to Blaptox surprise the ground began to move towards the furnace, forcing him to run forward with all his might.
The test had begun.
#Several day's later#
Reize sat in Gemini Storm club room, it wasn't namely as grand as the first ranked team or even a Master ranked club room but this was Alius academy and they never lost, so the club room had quite a bit of work do it.
Suddenly his defender Ganimede came in wearing the Gemini Storm uniform and said. "Captain, the human is still there!"
"WHAT!?" Reize said, it took a lot to surprise him. A human was still on that thing!?
He thought he would give up after an hour.
He then got up and walked out of the club room, going to the room that he had left the human boy in, convinced he would only see an empty room.
Several of his team mates were peeking through the window and gawking, seeing their captain coming their way, they moved away and the door opened automatically for him.
Reize was than very surprised to see Blaptox still running, the human boy looked like hell but he was undoubtable, still running.
Blaptox clothes were drenched in nothing but sweat and his leg's looked like it was in the most pain, two massive bumps were on them, blood was leaking from then and coming out of the human boy's mouth was blood, the boy didn't seem conscious but he was still running.
Reize was stunned, he could clearly tell Blaptox had long since gone passed his limit's.
What was pushing this boy?
"X-Xene-sama" came out of the unconscious boy's mouth.
Xene!? Reize thought in shock, Xene was pushing him passed his limits?
Was Xene this boy's goal?
Well, he picked one hell of a goal.
He then realized, there was still five more minutes left until the end of the day.
He wouldn't have believed it if he wasn't seeing it right now.
He checked his watch and started to count down.
One-minute went passed.
Two minutes went passed, Blaptox was still running.
Three minutes went passed, Blaptox was still running.
Four minutes want passed, Blaptox almost slipped on his own blood but kept his balance.
Five minutes, finally want passed.
The test was over.
The room stopped moving and the furnace died behind them.
Just than Blaptox body finally packed up and he fell onto the floor, completely unmoving.
They all know he would have to spend a month or so in the infirmary to recover.
"..I-I can't believe he did it" Reize said, before smirking and saying.
"Human's, are really such an entertaining species"
And scene!
Next chapter, Blaptox wakes up in the infirmary and is shocked to find Reize beside him, congratulating him on getting on the team. He is than given his own uniform and gets introduced to the rest of the team. He is suddenly made aware of the ranks in Alius academy Soccer Club and just how amazing Xene really is.
