Before allowing Class 1-A students to enter in their new residence, Shota scolds the entire class for having allowed five of them to rescue Katsuki without a license and did nothing to stop them.

The girls of Class 1-A show up and suggest a room showcasing competition. When they check Mashirao‘s room, they see that it's "completely normal", in the sense that it has nothing to make it stand out. It deeply upsets him when people have to force themselves to say meaningful things about his room. Momo, in particular, thinks he hasn't started unpacking yet.

The following day, Shota tells class 1-A that their next goal is to obtain their "Provisional Hero Licenses". To ensure success in the Provisional Hero License exam, they will develop their own ultimate moves. The class visits the Gym Gamma, where Cementoss creates a training ground for the class with Ectoplasm using his Quirk to create villains for the class to practice their moves on.

The members of the class 1-A collaborate together to defeat the rivals and pass the first round. Minoru lays down traps using his sticky spheres and Mashirao uses his tail to knock students into them. Toru uses her Warp Refraction Ultimate Move to blind nearby students. Using Toru's light as a distraction, Mashirao attaches his balls to two examinees while Toru herself attaches her balls to two examinees allowing them to pass. One by one, all Class 1-A students manage to eliminate other students and successfully pass the first phase of the exams.

Mashirao notices Juzo's reflexes were fast enough to counter and tries to retreat. However, he loses his footing on a piece of pipe that Juzo had previously softened.

Weeks go by, and shortly after winter begins, after the Hero Interview Training, Class 1-A is sent to Nabu Island, a remote place in southern Japan. The Pro Heroes who protected the island are about to retire, so the students will take care of the place, performing duties as real heroes acting like their own "Hero Office", until the arrival of new Pro Heroes.

Because Nabu Island is quite isolated from the rest of the country, and therefore far from any villain activity, there has been no notable incident since the last thirty years. For this reason, their work on the island basically involve mostly minor deeds. Mashirao works alongside several of his classmates on the beach as lifesavers. Minoru saves two girls from being getting hit on by two guys, only that the girls believe Mashirao saved them and thank him. Mashirao blushes and says it wasn't him.

At night, after working all day, all Class 1-A students mention that despite the fact that they only did minor deeds, this kind of hero work is still hard, even though they're not fighting anyone. The grateful island citizens bring a bunch of food for the kids as a token of appreciation for their help. After dinner, he goes with other students at the onsen bath.

The next day, Mashirao returns to his duties on the beach, along with Mezo, Tsuyu, and Fumikage. But that day Nine and his gang attack the island, and the four students confront his henchman Chimera. While Tsuyu is tasked with evacuating all the beach goers, Mashirao, Mezo, and Fumikage fight Chimera, but the villain proves being to much for them. Since everyone's cellphones aren't working, Mashirao tells Fumikage to go back to the Hero Agency to ask for help while he tries to face the villain the best he can. Although reluctant, Fumikage obeys.

While Fumikage went to ask for reinforcements, Mashirao and Mezo continue fighting against Chimera. Mashirao takes the initiative and attacks the villain, but he is defeated after taking a devastating punch from him, being knocked out and having to be evacuated, just when Fumikage arrives with help.

Later, Class 1-A have a meeting where they discover that the objective of the villain leader is to steal the Cell Activation Quirk from a boy named Katsuma. With this information, they devise a plan to approach them in front and keep civilians safe

The plan is to lure the villains to the furthest corner of the island where ancient castle ruins are. The heroes will engage the villains using the terrain to their advantage and spit the villains apart, so each member has to face several students alone. After his previous fight against Nine, Izuku concludes that Nine cannot use his multiple Quirks for too long as he suffers from intense pain when he does. To deal with Nine, everyone will attacks him in waves to force Nine to use his Quirks all the time until he reaches his limit and cannot continue fighting. Mashirao, Mezo, and Kyoka are in charge of guarding Katsuma and her sister Mahoro while the remaining students face the villains.

The next morning, Nine and his gang arrive at the entrance to the island. They fall into Class 1-A's trap and are forced to split up by Yuga and Momo's Ultimate Moves; and following Izuku's plan, the students take turns attacking Nine to force him to use his Quirks as much as possible. The students are on the verge of winning when, in his despair, Nine injects himself a high dose of Quirk's enhancer drug and defeats everyone.

The situation for Class 1-A is growing desperate. Kyoka and Mashirao tell Mezo to protect and take the kids away as they go forth and fight Nine. They ambush the villain in a bridge, which they destroy by using Kyoka's Heartbeat Fuzz and Mashirao's Tornado Tail Dance. Nine falls into the fissure but he quickly summons his Hydra Quirk to escape, smashing Kyoka and Mashirao in the process. Mezo is about to escape with the children when he is attacked by Nine. The injured Mashirao and Kyoka catch them up and attack Nine with Mezo tackling in, but the villain uses his Air Wall Quirk at full potential to blast all three of them away, defeating them.

Nine is in pain by dealing with the constant attacks from Class 1-A members, but his prize is finally now at his fingertips. Fortunately, Izuku and Katsuki arrive in time to confront him. While Mashirao is unconscious, Izuku and Katsuki manage to defeat Nine, saving the island and its inhabitants in the process. After Class 1-A emerged victorious over the threat, the military and a large number of heroes arrive on Nabu Island, rescuing the civilians and medically treating Class 1-A. The villains are arrested, and Class 1-A continues to stay on Nabu Island to help repair the damage done by Nine and his villains until the Public Safety Commission suspends the program and orders them to be sent home.

Present Mic asks Class 1-A why, with them being the greatest victims after all this, they're so willing to trust him, and Tenya simply responds that what happened is in the past, and with them being unable to realize how he's been feeling all this time, they carry some responsibility, so they must reach out to him as friends in order for them to become equals again. Shota then appears on a tablet screen, taking full responsibility and reveals that he has an idea. He listened to Shota's plan after the Aoyama Family's ears have been covered. Naomasa then has the Aoyama Family escorted back to their HQ, telling everyone not to say a word to anyone else about the plan while he and the rest of the class look on sullenly.

Back at Heights Alliance, Mashirao takes a breather, before getting ready to gear back up, as he and everyone, with fire and rage in their eyes over the betrayal, prepares to bring All For One down once and for all. He joins up with their "Search Squad" to head out to hunt down the villains.
