Summary
A year later, the U.A. Sports Festival will be held soon. Since it will be their last chance to stand out, Class 3-A students decide to hold a meeting where they can come up with plans for teamwork. Hizashi wants to participate, but Shota is not interested and decides to take a nap. Hizashi apologizes on his behalf and says that is due to the fatigue caused by his constant solo trainings.

Time later, in a training session against class 3-B, Shota defeats Sensoji in close combat, and tells his opponent in what aspects he has to improve. Far from getting angry as he did before, Sensoji thanks him for the advice, although he is more of provide support on a team.

In the staff room, the teachers are a bit worried about Shota. Even though his grades are above average, the only thing he’s actually putting effort into is battle training. Since the tragic incident last year, he has become too complacent for his own good. Then, Shota enters the staff room to ask permission to use the gym for another solo training, which teachers access. During the remainder of the course, Shota trains hard and for hours, even if his hands start to bleed, not caring that his hands end up all messed up. Sometimes Hizashi is with him, in silence, with a gloomy face.

Another day, Shota has a conversation with his homeroom teacher about his future plans as a hero. Shota says she will start his own hero agency as soon as he graduates from the U.A., specializing in anti-villains combat. His teacher tells him that it is too soon for that, and that it is best to first gain some experience in a veteran agency, but Shota replies that the short of hero he wants to be is an independent, underground one.

Time passes and finally Shota’s generation graduates, acquiring their diplomas. Since it will start raining soon, the classmates want to take a group photo, but Shota leaves the U.A. to start his career as an underground hero, a hard life full of difficulties that however will lead him to meet many people.

Back to the present, the rain ceases, and Shota leaves to go to Brother Hotta's shop, telling Koichi to do the right thing with the cat. Without many options, Koichi decides to go with him in case there is luck that a customer of the store wants to keep the kitten.

Once there, Koichi is surprised to meet Octoid, who introduces himself as Ikajiro Takobe and apologizes for all the problems he caused when he was a Next Level Villain. Koichi asks what's going on and Jiro explains that Takobe got discharged and has been living with Kirihito in tents in the place where his warehouse used to be. Then Ichiro reveals that they will use the villain damage insurance payment for the destruction of their warehouse and the welfare subsidy that Takobe and Kirihito get for oversized housing to stat a cafe-shop, with Takobe as cook.

Seeing the kitten that Koichi brings with him, Takobe decides to adopt him and and suggesting the idea of making their establishment a cat cafe, initiating a conversation among those present about how Cafe should be. This makes Shota to zoned-out, remembering the day on the rooftop of the U.A. where he was talking with Oboro, Hizashi and Nemuri about starting his own dream Hero Agency and how it should be. When asked about what he want for the agency he replied that a cat tower. The response and the reasons it gives cause laughter among everyone, including Shota himself.

Ichiro brings him back to the present, and tells him that in their plans for cafe they have even thought about him and he has his own assigned seat. Shota looks up at the sky, saying that all cleared up and he’s feeling clear about things now. Then Shota leaves the place, saying goodbye to everyone and telling them not to consider him in their plans since he will soon leave the town, although he likes the idea of the Cat Cafe and may visit them when he can.

The chapter ends with Shota sending a message to Nemuri.
