To prove his determination, Izuku shows his mother the note from Kota thanking him for being his hero; and as a show of humility, All Might bows his head to the ground to promise Inko he will be a better teacher for Izuku, finally earning her hesitant approval.

After several conversations, Midoriya was able to come up with an idea on how to overcome his problem and redesigned his costume.

Elsewhere, Iida is searching for stray Class 1-A students and finds Aoyama hiding alone, when they are attacked by many students. They try to run away, but Aoyama shoots his navel laser into the air as a beacon. His plan is to sacrifice himself by luring the enemy close, allowing Iida to use his super speed to target three opponents and pass the test. Just as all seems lost, the rest of Class 1-A arrives to assist in defeating the nearby students.

The students begin to investigate the crime scene. After eliminating the possibility of an accomplice who turned against him, Midoriya deduces that Midnight was All Might's lover who called the police and went into the jewelry store to try and stop him, and All Might committed suicide to protect her from the backlash of his actions. Aizawa appears and commends Midoriya for his deductions, but gives the students a zero for failing to realize that All Might had faked his own death as a ploy to escape.

Todoroki attempts to fend Gang Orca off with a stream of fire, but just as the fire is about to hit him, Shiketsu student Inasa diverts the fire with his own Quirk. The two students quickly get into an argument, with Inasa revealing that the reason he hates Todoroki is due to a past experience with Todoroki's father, Endeavour. Unbeknownst to the both of them, the fire that was diverted was close to hitting a downed Shindo before Midoriya intervenes with Full Cowling, and yells at both the students. This snaps Todoroki out of it, as he tries to attack Gang Orca again; only for Inasa to again divert the fire. Gang Orca gets tired of hearing the two bicker and sends them both crashing to the ground. The two students soon both realize the triviality of their arguing and combine their Quirks to trap Gang Orca in a fire spiral. The fire spiral is enough to pick at Gang Orca, but he drenches himself in water and dissipates the flame spiral; soon before Midoriya comes in with an attack using his Shoot Style while the other students save the last victims from the wreckage, marking the end of the Provisional License Exam. Later, the students are all gathered by a screen to see who has obtained their Provisional License. | ||||||||

The staff reveals who all received their Provisional Licenses. Nearly all of Class 1-A received it with the exception of Todoroki and Bakugo, due to Todoroki's feud with Inasa (who also failed the test) and Bakugo's rudeness towards the victims. However, the ones who failed can make it up by taking a 3 month course to obtain their Provisional Licenses. Midoriya tries to find Camie to talk to her, but her classmates tell him she wasn't feeling well and left early. It is revealed that Camie was actually Himiko in disguise, as her quirk allows her to transform into those whose blood she consumes. She returns to the League of Villains with Midoriya's blood. All Might interrogates All For One in prison, with the latter gloating about what he has accomplished despite being beaten to near-death and imprisoned. All Might vows to his enemy that Shigaraki will not kill him or Midoriya. At night, Bakugo has Midoriya meet him in the place where they had their mock match. He reveals that he's figured out the secrets behind Midoriya's quirk as witnessing All For One allowed him to understand that Quirks can be transferred and deduced Midoriya's connection to All Might. Frustrated with Midoriya's progress and his acknowledgement from All Might, Bakugo challenges him to a fight. | ||||||||

Bakugo fights close and fast to give Midoriya less time to strategize, but Midoriya manages to keep up by increasing One For All to eight percent. During the brawl, Bakugo admits that he hates the thought of someone previously weak like Midoriya surpassing him and has been blaming himself for All Might's retirement. While the match is close, Bakugo ends up winning after pinning Midoriya to the ground. All Might shows up having witnessed the whole fight and informs Bakugo that he shouldn't be blaming himself for All Might's retirement and tells him about the history of One For All with Bakugo vowing to keep it a secret. He informs the two heroes that they each lack what the other has (Midoriya's conviction to save others and Bakugo's desire to win) and that finding the balance between the two will improve themselves as heroes. He then takes the two back to their dorms, where Aizawa suspends the two from classes for a few days (Midoriya for three and Bakugo for four). Despite the outcome, All Might believes it was necessary to help the two become proper rivals in their quests toward becoming the ultimate heroes. | ||||||||

Twice observes the changes in society after All Might's retirement, noting how the combination of All Might's absence and public unease of Endeavor taking his place has caused a surge in villain activity. He also reflects how irresponsible use of his quirk caused him to be eternally uncertain if he is real or a copy of himself, and that the League of Villains is the only place that would accept a damaged person like him. He then witnesses a villain named Overhaul kill another group of villains. Meanwhile, U.A. holds its opening ceremony, where the Principal announces that the first year students will be beginning "hero work studies" earlier than usual due to the rising villain threat. Midoriya returns to class after he serves his house arrest, where Aizawa introduces the Big Three, the top three students of U.A., who will be helping Class 1-A with their hero work studies. | ||||||||
