He formed the image of the cafeteria in his mind. He thought this new first-year would not be able to teleport directly to the courtyard, so Hitori chose the cafeteria's entry gate.
He grabbed the nerd's hand and when he was waiting for the nerd's reply, he was already standing in the courtyard without even supplying his mana to the nerd. That left Hitori speechless and stunned.

Hitori, with a wide mouth, glanced at Mono, then at the other students, and finally at the nerd whose hand he was still holding.
"How did you do that…?" Hitori asked.
