Chapter 60- Scrutinization: Part 4

U.A Hallways: 7:10 AM

After a few minutes, Aizawa and Nezu had finally made it to Recovery Girl's office to find the door wide open.

'Seems like they've been waiting for us.' Aizawa thought as he stepped through the open door. 

Nurse's Office: 7:11 AM

"Are you going to stay up there?" Aizawa asked as he used his right hand to reach for the door handle.

"Are you still getting your paychecks?" Nezu asked rhetorically as he turned to face Aizawa.

"Yes-" Aizawa said as he closed the door behind him and dropped his right hand to his side.

"Then you know my answer." Nezu said as he cut Aizawa off mid-sentence.

'Of course...' Aizawa thought as he let out a sigh.

"Recovery Girl, Hound Dog." Nezu said as he turned to face Recovery Girl and Hound Dog. "What seems to be the issue with Midoriya this time?" Nezu asked as he stared at Recovery Girl and Hound Dog.

'There they are.' Recovery Girl thought as she heard Nezu's voice behind her. "It's less so that there's an issue with the boy, it's more so the fact that Hound Dog has found out something worrisome concerning Midoriya." Recovery Girl replied as she spun around in her desk chair and turned to face Aizawa and Nezu.

'Hound Dog found something worrisome?' Nezu questioned as he turned to face Hound Dog.

'Of course he did, it's just one thing after another with this kid...' Aizawa thought as he glanced away from Hound Dog.

"And what exactly would that be?" Nezu asked as he stared at Hound Dog.

"I came acrross Midorriya durring his trraining while I was patrrolling the forrest earrlierr and-" Hound Dog said in a low growl as he turned to face Nezu.

"Get to the point Hound Dog." Aizawa said as he looked over at Hound Dog.

"He wasn't wearing a shirt while he was trraining and he had a lot of unexplained scars acrross his upper body." Hound Dog said as he turned to face Aizawa.

"Unexplained scars?" Nezu questioned as he raised his hands and clasped them together.

"Aside from his scars on his right arm, from his fight with Todoroki and the training camp, Midoriya had scars from cuts of various sizes all over his torso and left arm with a burn scar on his right shoulder." Hound Dog said as he stared at Aizawa.

'Were those the scars that caused his body issues?' Nezu questioned as he stopped clasping his hands together.

'Scars from cuts and...' Aizawa thought as he remembered what he said to Uraraka on Friday.

"What's wrong with Problem Child, and how is Bakugo involved?" Aizawa asked as he raised his head to look at Uraraka.

'A burn wound...' Aizawa thought as his eyes widened. 'Does Bakugo have something to do with this?' Aizawa wondered as he tensed up slightly.

'Aizawa?' Nezu questioned as he felt Aizawa tense up and looked down at Aizawa.

"Did he say where he got them?" Aizawa asked as he narrowed his eyes at Hound Dog.

"He told me that he got them from fighting villains and-" Hound Dog said before getting cut off by Nezu.

"You came here to Recovery Girl to see his medical records to see if that was true." Nezu said as he stepped out of Aizawa's scarf and reached for one end of it with both hands. "But given the fact that you said that they were unexplained, I'd assume that you don't have any documentation of those scars." Nezu said as he grabbed onto Aizawa's scarf and rappelled his way down his left side.
