Class 1-A rode through the mountains toward a forest training camp, chatting excitedly while Jilan questioned Midoriya about All Might. Jilan suspected the camp had been moved forward for a secret reason and prepared for a possible test as the bus continued toward its destination.

• The students rode in noisy buses toward the mountains, and Aizawa gave up trying to quiet them.
• Ashido told Uraraka and Jiro that her old friends had designed her colorful battle costume, and Yaoyorozu reassured Uraraka that Class 1-A were her friends.

• Bakugo rushed into the forest ahead of his classmates and began fighting a massive beast.
• Jilan warned Kirishima to look around, revealing several more beasts waiting in the shadows.

• Jilan found Denki Kaminari wandering dazed after wasting electricity on the earth monsters and punched him with Life Magnetism Hamon Overdrive.

Bakugo reached the cabin first, but Shota Aizawa became concerned when the rest of the students failed to arrive and set out to find them. Three hours earlier, Jilan’s group had been slowing the earth beasts by disabling them rather than killing them, and the exhausted students continued through the forest together.

• Kota said he resented Pro Heroes, and Mandalay explained to Shota Aizawa that his feelings had a personal cause.
• Bakugo emerged from the forest first, confirmed his place, and collapsed unconscious from exhaustion.
• Shota Aizawa learned that only thirty of American Shorthair’s hundred earth beasts had been destroyed and decided to trace the students’ route and search for them.
• Jilan proposed disabling the earth beasts instead of killing them, and Midoriya and Iida helped bring one down by smashing its head and breaking a leg.
• Minoru Mineta and the rest of Jilan’s group showed signs of exhaustion, but Midoriya, Iida, Shoto Todoroki, and Tokoyami stayed with the group to protect their less combat-ready classmates.

Jilan’s classmates stopped their trek to the base to find food after hunger slowed them down. They reached a stream and caught fish for a meal, while Kaminari once again short-circuited himself with his Quirk.

• Sero reported that the group was still three or four hours from the base, and several classmates admitted they were hungry and tired.

• Aizawa announced that the group would miss dinner at the base and face double training the next day for falling behind Bakugo.
• Jilan claimed the group could reach the base in twenty minutes, and Aizawa demanded that he show how.

• Jilan told the group to leave camp, and they finished cleaning up the fire.
• Uraraka used her Quirk to stop an earth monster, while Yaoyorozu invited everyone to ride it; Todoroki and Midoriya arrived on two more.

• Mandalay, Aizawa, and the others brought the bus down the mountain and confiscated the students’ phones, games, and other entertainment devices.
• Mineta tried to peek over the hot-spring wall, but Mandalay’s young companion pushed him down and then fell himself; Bakugo caught the child and took him to Mandalay.
• The students stayed up late playing cards and chatting, then assembled sleepily outside the cabin at 5:30 a.m.; Jilan was rested after going to bed on time.
• Aizawa had Bakugo throw a softball and recorded a distance of 709.6 meters, only a small improvement over his enrollment result of 705.2 meters.
• Aizawa explained that the students needed to use their Quirks continuously, even when exhausted, to raise their limits, while those with fixed-power Quirks should work on activating them faster.
• Class A answered that they understood, and Aizawa declared the start of their Quirk training.

Shota Aizawa tested Jilan Jiyu’s rapidly increased Quirk strength and let him train without an assignment, while Jilan used his spare time to advise Shoto Todoroki on controlling and accepting both sides of his power. The chapter left Todoroki quietly contemplating Jilan’s advice.

• Aizawa tested Jilan’s softball throw and discovered it had improved by a third in three months, then allowed him to train as he pleased.
• Aizawa explained Jilan’s growth to the class, prompting the students to train harder and Minoru Mineta to overexert himself until he collapsed bleeding.
• Jilan attributed his improvement mainly to the Stock Solution he had drunk on I-Island and considered using the Raw Stone to strengthen his Quirk further.
• Jilan brought Todoroki hot spring water and advised him to master temperature control before trying to use fire and ice together.
• Jilan told Todoroki to accept that both powers came from his own body, then left him pondering the advice with a hand on his scar.

Jilan investigated Endeavor’s family history and considered how Shoto Todoroki might grow stronger, then helped arrange useful Quirk training for Momo Yaoyorozu. After Ragdoll used Search on Jilan, a strange pause and faint explosion passed unnoticed by everyone else, and Ragdoll sensed that her scan had missed something.

• Jilan recalled investigating Endeavor and learned that Endeavor had neglected his other children while pressuring Shoto Todoroki to become a great hero.
• Jilan concluded that Todoroki still had unresolved feelings toward Endeavor and could only offer him a few pointers.
• Jilan suggested that Momo Yaoyorozu practice creating useful objects, including American Shorthair’s tactical eyepiece, so she could improve her judgment and help equip his Sheer Heart Attacks.
• American Shorthair reluctantly lent Jilan her tactical eyepiece after Mandalay intervened, then asked Ragdoll to find Jilan’s weakness.
• Ragdoll used Search on Jilan and identified his Quirk as Hamon, but Jilan sensed a prying gaze and heard a faint explosion during a moment when the world seemed to stop.
• Ragdoll told American Shorthair that Jilan needed to keep breathing to use Hamon, then wondered why the information seemed incomplete.

Class B arrived at the training camp and joined Class A’s grueling training, prompting both classes to work harder through rivalry and shared exercises.

• Midoriya trained his Quirk control by fighting Tiger, whose Pliabody let him twist away from attacks.
• Vlad King brought Class B to the camp and urged them to train as hard as Class A, while Tetsutetsu challenged Jilan about not training.

• American Shorthair gave the exhausted students carrots and told them to make their own dinner.
• Tetsutetsu learned from Kirishima that Class A had ridden an earth monster, despite Class B having been chased by monsters the previous night.

• Bakugo forced Kota to take the curry and threatened to destroy his secret base, daring him to fight back with his Quirk.
• Bakugo mocked Kota’s dead parents, Water Hose, and reluctance to use his Quirk, then aimed his palm at the cave entrance.

Bakugo confronted Kota about his fear of becoming like his dead parents and pushed him to prove his strength, while Jilan watched. After Kota ran off, Jilan questioned Bakugo about his hostility toward Midoriya and urged him to view Quirks as a source of pride rather than a way to show off.

• Kota stopped Bakugo from destroying his secret cave by soaking him with water, but Bakugo reignited his attack and challenged Kota to stop him.
• Bakugo accused Kota of running from the world of Pro Heroes because he feared failing like his parents, and urged him to use his Quirk rather than abandon it.

• Jilan told Bakugo to regard his Quirk as a source of pride, then left for the night.
