Worthless Necessity [HitoZuku]

Chapter 35 - Into nothing

Aizawa chugged the can of coffee, before crushing it in his hands and tossing it in the trash can by the door, nearly hitting Yamada in the process, who had just walked into the staff room along with Kayama and Snipe.

"Geez, someone's in a bad mood." Kayama muttered under her breath, "You okay there, Shouta?"

"Yes, I am." Aizawa growled sarcastically, before he paused the video he was watching and jotted some tally marks down on his notebook.

"Security camera feeds?" Yamada asked, "What case?"

"Aldera." Aizawa hissed, "Midoriya's past school records depict him as a troublemaker in lessons, and Nezu got a permit to investigate Aldera since it didn't add up. I just went to download the security feeds. We have three years worth of feeds, and gone through a few months of them, and Nezu's already planning to tear Aldera down brick by brick."

Snipe frowned. The name of that school... sounded familiar.

"Geez, what happened over there?" Kayama asked.

"I've only watched about two month's worth of feeds so far. Midoriya had his homework stolen and torn up fifteen times, had been smacked into the wall twenty times, and has been pushed down the stairs thirty seven times. Someone poured acid on him once in the science lab, and he's been tripped in the classrooms or along the hallway at least seventeen times. There's no audio, but the teachers clearly don't give a shit about him. They either punish Midoriya, or not do anything about it at all. And that's all in Midoriya's first year." Aizawa snarled.

Kayama growled, "Who are his teachers!? I'll tear them apart!"

"That's not the point. Look." Aizawa pointed to one of the videos, "According to the date, Midoriya would be twelve, but he's already so... apathetic."

The teachers leaned over to look at Aizawa's laptop, seeing someone grab Midoriya's arm, and swinging him around, before nailing him in the stomach with a kick. Midoriya slammed into the wall, and crumpled to the ground, before trying to push himself up. Another student picked up a neatly stapled stack of paper, before ripping it to shreds, right in front of Midoriya. He threw the paper shreds onto the floor, just as the teacher walked in.

The teacher took one look at the sight before him, and all the students started pointing fingers at Midoriya, and the teacher merely ordered Midoriya to stand up, before dragging him out of the classroom.

The second they left the room, the entire class burst into laughter.

Even though there wasn't any audio, the teachers still had a very good idea what was going on; Midoriya was getting bullied by all of his classmates and the teachers didn't even care. They had kind of expected the bullying, but not the teacher's reactions. No wonder Midoriya didn't trust them; if all of Midoriya's teachers were like that, it wasn't surprising that Midoriya would expect all of his teachers to be the same.

"Those pieces of shit! How dare they treat him like that." Kayama growled. "Can I go murder them?"

"No." Ectoplasm deadpanned, but inside, he was seething.

"We're just looking through the feeds and recording down every instance where Midoriya was bullied and neglected by his teachers." Aizawa stated blankly, "When Hitoshi and Zashi met Midoriya, he wasn't anything like this, so I believe the change was brought about in his elementary school. We're just going to compile everything and sue Aldera first, get that out of the way, before investigating his elementary school."

Snipe clenched his fist, "That's just cruel. What did he do to deserve this?"

"Absolutely nothing." Nezu growled, exiting his office, before passing Ectoplasm another past year paper, "Give this to Izuku the next time you have a test. I compiled all the hardest questions from the third year paper for him."
