The hallway lights in U.A. High School were dim.
Most of the students were asleep.
But Aizawa wasn't.
He sat at his desk, laptop open, a stack of papers beside him. The screen showed the hospital records he had already checked.
Nothing.
No birth certificate.
No medical history.
No parents.
No quirk registration.
Just one strange report from years ago.
"Male child discovered at hospital entrance. Identity unknown."
Aizawa leaned back in his chair.
"…That's not normal."
Even abandoned children usually had something. A trace. A parent record. A government file.
Ren had nothing.
So Aizawa did the next logical thing.
He started checking every hospital near the original one.
Hospital #2
Aizawa quietly walked through the late-night lobby. Nurses barely noticed him.
He showed his hero credentials and gained access to old digital archives.
Search: Ren Calder.
No results.
Search: Unknown child — July records.
Hundreds of results.
None matched.
Aizawa frowned slightly.
"…Still nothing."
Hospital #3
This one was older.
The archive room smelled like dust and old paper. Rows of filing cabinets stretched along the walls.
Aizawa opened them one by one.
Year after year.
Record after record.
Still nothing.
He checked emergency admissions.
Abandoned children.
Even unidentified patients.
Nothing connected to Ren.
Something Strange
Aizawa stopped.
One record caught his eye.
It wasn't about Ren.
It was about a power outage.
The exact night Ren had supposedly been found.
The hospital logs said:
"Security cameras temporarily disabled. Backup system activated."
But the backup footage… was missing.
Aizawa narrowed his eyes.
"…Someone deleted it."
Hospitals didn't normally lose footage like that.
Not without a reason.
The Timeline
Aizawa wrote down the facts in a notebook.
Child found outside hospital
No records anywhere
Cameras disabled that night
Identity completely erased
Then he wrote one more thing.
Ren Calder — Multiple Quirks?
Aizawa tapped the pen against the page.
"…Someone hid you on purpose."
Meanwhile…
Back at U.A., Ren was in the dorm kitchen again.
Laughing with Kaito.
Kirishima was eating something Ren cooked like it was the greatest meal ever made.
Denki was yelling about how good it tasted.
Ren just smiled.
Completely unaware that his past…
Was becoming a mystery Aizawa couldn't ignore.
