Chapter 77 - Chapter 1: Damage Control

Morning arrived at U.A. High School, but the campus did not feel normal.

Not after yesterday.

Students whispered in every hallway.

"Did you hear he teleported villains?"

"I heard Nomu appeared too."

"I heard he accidentally kidnapped half the League of Villains."

And at the center of all the rumors…

Ren sat in the teacher's lounge looking like he hadn't slept.

Across from him sat Shota Aizawa, wrapped in his yellow sleeping bag like an exhausted burrito.

"…Explain again," Aizawa said flatly.

Ren rubbed his face.

"I didn't mean to teleport them."

Aizawa stared.

"You teleported the villains."

"Accidentally."

"You teleported them eight times."

"…Yeah."

Aizawa sighed.

Across the room, Nezu happily watched security footage of the chaos on a tablet.

Every teleport.

Every crash landing.

Every scream.

"Remarkable spatial distortion!" Nezu said cheerfully.

Ren groaned.

"I'm going to get expelled, aren't I?"

Nezu tilted his head.

"Oh no."

Ren blinked.

"…What?"

Nezu smiled.

"You're going to train."

Aizawa nodded.

"Immediately."

Training Field – U.A.

Class 1-A stood in a wide circle.

Everyone looked curious.

In the middle stood Ren.

And beside him stood Aizawa.

Bakugo cracked his knuckles.

"Finally."

Midoriya held a notebook ready.

"This is historic!"

Kirishima whispered to Kaminari.

"Bro yesterday was insane."

Kaminari nodded rapidly.

"BRO HE TELEPORTED VILLAINS."

Aizawa pointed at Ren.

"Your problem is control."

Ren nodded.

"Yeah I figured that part out."

Aizawa continued.

"Your teleportation activates under stress."

Ren sighed.

"That also sounds correct."

Aizawa held up a marker board with a big X drawn on it.

"Your job is simple."

Ren looked hopeful.

"Okay!"

"Teleport exactly there."

Ren looked at the board.

Twenty feet away.

"…That's it?"

Aizawa nodded.

"That's it."

Bakugo yelled from the side.

"BET HE CAN'T DO IT!"

Ren clenched his fists.

Energy began flickering around him.

Blue.

White.

Purple.

Aizawa immediately activated his quirk.

The glowing stopped.

Ren blinked.

"…Hey!"

Aizawa stared at him.

"You see the problem."

Ren sighed.

"Yeah."

Training Attempt #1

Aizawa released his quirk.

"Try again."

Ren focused.

Energy flickered again.

The air bent slightly.

Everyone leaned forward.

Midoriya whispered excitedly.

"He's stabilizing the spatial field!"

Then—

FLASH

Ren vanished.

The board exploded.

And Ren reappeared—

…on top of the roof of the training building.

Everyone stared upward.

Ren waved awkwardly.

"…Close?"

Bakugo screamed.

"YOU MISSED BY THREE FLOORS!"

Aizawa rubbed his temples.

Meanwhile…

Far away, inside a dark hideout.

The League of Villains sat around a table.

Well.

Most of them.

Tomura Shigaraki scratched his neck irritably.

"…That kid."

Across from him, Dabi leaned back in his chair.

"I kinda liked him."

Shigaraki glared.

"He kidnapped us."

Dabi shrugged.

"Accidentally."

Nearby, Himiko Toga spun happily in her chair.

"Renny Penny is fun!"

Dabi smirked.

"You gave him a nickname?"

Toga nodded proudly.

"He teleported us on an adventure!"

Shigaraki muttered.

"…He teleported us into a hero school."

Kurogiri calmly adjusted a glass.

**Kurogiri spoke quietly.

"The spatial distortion surrounding that student was… extraordinary."

Dabi tilted his head.

"You mean strong?"

Kurogiri nodded slowly.

"Stronger than expected."

Shigaraki leaned forward.

"…Explain."

Kurogiri continued.

"The boy's teleportation did not simply move himself."

Everyone listened.

"He pulled connected individuals through space."

Dabi raised an eyebrow.

"Meaning?"

Kurogiri finished calmly.

"His quirk instinctively gathers targets."

Silence fell over the room.

Toga grinned wider.

"See? Renny Penny likes us!"

Shigaraki muttered darkly.

"…Or he's dangerous."

Back at U.A.

Ren climbed down from the roof looking embarrassed.

Aizawa pointed again.

"Try again."

Ren groaned.

Bakugo cracked his knuckles again.

"This is the best day ever."

Midoriya whispered excitedly.

"Teleportation training data!"

Kaminari whispered to Kirishima.

"Bro he's gonna send us to the moon."

Ren focused again.

Energy began building around him.

The air warped.

Aizawa watched carefully.

Ren clenched his fists.

"I GOT THIS!"

The light exploded.

Everyone braced.

And when the flash faded…

Ren was gone.

But this time—

someone else disappeared with him.

Aizawa blinked.

Bakugo blinked.

Midoriya slowly looked around.

"…Uh."

Kirishima pointed.

"Guys?"

Everyone turned.

One student was missing.

And suddenly—

Aizawa sighed.

"…Of course."
