The Chosen One (A Story About Okamimimis and Humans) [Inazuma Eleven GO]

Chapter 5: Discovery

Two weeks have passed ever since the match against Eito Gakuen. The Raimon players got along very well. Tenma made friends with them and it was great.

Shindou's POV:

A week has passed since the match against Eito Academy. But, after that, I noticed that everyday Tenma would have some bruises and scratch marks but he healed pretty quickly. What bothers me is that he says it was rather an accident or he is just clumsy, but I had a feeling that something is wrong. I was walking my way to school when I met up with Kirino. We walked to school together and was about to go upstairs to go to our class when we heard Riku and his gang. We followed the noise and peaked from the corner. We were shocked when we saw Riku and his gang bullying two students. One of them has gray short hair with two red locks on the side and the other had short dark brownish-black hair. They were both on the ground. I was about to go out of the corner when someone went in front of the students and Riku and his friends. I was shocked to see Tenma.

"Riku, leave them alone!" Tenma said.

"Tenma what are you doing?" I said in my mind. I then remembered what he said during the soccer tryouts.

*Flashback*

"You can hurt me and say anything you want to me. As long you don't hurt anyone else other than me, " Tenma said.

*End of flashback*

I was shocked. Tenma is keeping his word, that's why. He doesn't want anyone to get hurt.

Tenma then looked at the two students. "You two run, " He said.

"What do you think you're doing? that's the alpha of the school, " the boy with dark brownish-hair said to Tenma.

"I know, don't worry I'll be alright, " Tenma replied to the boy with a smile.

"Alright, thank you, " the boy with gray hair said. Then the two boys got up and ran. Tenma then faced Riku.

"You know human, your starting to get on my nerves, " Riku said as he stepped forward, "you will pay."

I then saw Riku punch Tenma and his back hit the wall hard. Me and Kirino were shocked. Riku then pinned him to the wall. I was getting angry and was about to come out. Until the bell rang.

"Your lucky the bell rang before I could do worse, " Riku said and he threw Tenma to the ground. Riku and his friends then left and Tenma stood back up. He then sighed and he left. Me and Kirino were speechless.

"It all makes sense now, " I said in my thoughts, "the day me and Tsurugi found him unconscious in the restroom. And the scratch marks and bruises he had for the past weeks. Riku and his friends did this."

"Shindou, " Kirino called out to me. I looked at him.

"You think that, " he continued.

"I'm afraid yes. Riku has been beating up Tenma, " I said as I felt guilty for not noticing, "and he hid it from us."

"Yeah," Kirino replied.

"We should tell the others," I suggested.

Kirino nodded in response and we both went to our class.

(Time skip)

Kirino and I left our class and went to the soccer club. When we arrived everyone was there but Tenma. Kirino and I went to Aoi, Midori, and Shinsuke who were sitting next to each other, and Tsurugi who is leaning on one of the lockers.

"Hello Shindou-senpai, Kirino-senpai," Shinsuke said while smiling at us.

"Hey guys, " I replied, "where is Tenma?" I asked.
