The uncomfortable silence crept among the heroes as they stood inside the hospital with different faces.
" Um, even Lord Arthur had healed us, we have to check here?"
Shisui asked with confusion, not knowing what to do since it was his first time being here and specifically he saw others were being uncomfortable.
" The check-up isn't the problem. Rather we have to meet up with doctors who nag us everything that we do. That is why even Arthur isn't comfortable around them because he would be scolded."
Luke dodged his head when he saw glaring nurses who were shooting daggers at them with their gazes like they were saying you irresponsible fools.
Being in the medical field is prestigious in every country but in Eden, it was called the most cumbersome profession to have since every single hero and personnel tended to get injured due to the high-risk work environment.
Especially lately they had to deal with radiation damages which made their workload more heavier than ever before. There was a constant supply of war injured people, injured during training or battle, etc.
So, even the nicest people turned into fearsome people who would scold them when they had the chance since Eden was relatively free to express their thoughts.
" Mister Luke Cage and Miss Diana Prince, please enter the first ward."
The nurse glared at them with a cold face as the former duo sighed with a defeated face. They could understand their feelings, so they didn't complain anymore even though they were one of the greatest heroes.
" Are you Shisui Uchiha? Please proceed to the 3rd war along with Mister Summer."
Hearing her tone sent chills down his spine while he looked at Scott with a begging face but the latter just patted his shoulder with a thumb up
The duo went inside a room where they saw a woman with braids, looking through the folders with an angry face.
" Mister Summer, please sit. I know you are here for additional treatment but this is too much. You are coming here almost every 3 days with serious injuries. Look you even got broken arms and fractured ribs this time. While I know Lord Arthur healed you with his power even he isn't omnipotent. We need to do additional bone alignment treatment. Also, you need to refrain from your hero activity for a certain amount of time."
The woman scolded Scott for being reckless since she was the main doctor of mutants who were admitted to Eden Central Hospital. She swore she had to work extremely hard because she was constantly busy thanks to mutants who always managed to injure themselves.
" I am sorry, Doctor Reyes but this time we really met a formidable foe. Even Arthur was defeated by him if it wasn't Professor and Jean."
Scott tried to explain himself but Reyes shut him down almost instantly with a wave of her hand. She rubbed her eyebrows with a sigh.
" Listen, Scott. I am not angry with you for being a hero, but you are too reckless. Even the most resilient heroes fall from continuous physical injury from the inside. Your body is being used recklessly like this boy."
Reyes then shifted her gaze toward Shisui who was awkwardly looking at her with a pale face.
" I know you, young boy. I got your information from Red Queen and I was appointed as your clan's head doctor. You are infamous for being an agile fighter right? But you know when I got your physical report, I almost requested capsule treatment. Look at yourself, you are young, yet you are riddled with chronic injuries."
Reyes showed scans of his body where she showed continuous strain on his body like his eyes were deteriorating fast and his growth period was stunned due to high physical strain.
" You and you clansmen need serious treatment. Your bodies are filled with injuries and at this rate, you will die before 40."
Reyes's tone turned serious when she explained the situation to him whereas Scott listened silently from the side with pity. He saw similar incidents countless times and he was used to it but a talent like Shisui was too precious to lose.
" Go outside. I will administer your treatment. Also, I will relay this matter to lord Arthur himself."
Reyes dismissed them with a calm face.
