Toru is placed in a team with Momo, Fumikage and Yuga to compete against Kinoko Komori, Itsuka Kendo, Shihai Kuroiro, and Manga Fukidashi in the second round of match-ups.

After the round begins, Toru's team falls into a trap of Shihai, who possess Dark Shadow and manipulates the beast into striking its master and attack the remaining members. To stop him, Toru uses her Warp Refraction to generate enough light to force Shihai out of Black Shadow. Shihai quickly merges into the shadows with his Quirk Black, then he sneakily takes Yuga away, but Fumikage with Black Fallen Angel soars past Shihai and rescues Yuga from him. Momo orders Yuga to use his Navel Buffet☆Laser to warps the shape of the shadows, expelling Shihai from his hiding place.

Toru goes to capture Shihai but at that moment Kinoko uses her Quirk to cover everything in Mushrooms, as well as grow on Class 1-A members. This is a big problem for Toru, because the mushrooms make her silhouette visible, counteracting her invisibility. With Kinoko's part of the plan now in action, Momo yells out to her 1-A team to keep calm and regroup, but Manga uses his Quirk Comic to spawns giant text that separates Momo from her team, and then he utters the word "humidity" to boosts the growth of Kinoko's mushrooms even further.

Shihai moves through the shadows of the mushrooms and takes Yuga again. Fumikage tries to pursue but Manga knocks him down with text bullets. He recovers and is shocked to find Invisible Girl covered in mushrooms. They hear a cannon shot and notices Yaoyorozu's Lucky Bag flying over the wall created by Manga. Fumikage grabs Toru and flies up to the bag. Inside he finds ethanol to get rid of the mushrooms and infrared goggles. By the design of the glasses, Toru deduces that they are for Fumikage.

After getting rid of the mushrooms with ethanol, Fumikage takes care of Shihai and Komori, while Toru goes out to look for Manga. She locates Manga and, angry about everything she had to go through, she attacks him, being able to land multiple hits without issue due to her invisibility.

During her assault, she figures out that Class 1-B were unaffected by the mushrooms due to being sprayed with fungicide prior to the match. Manga can barely defend himself from Toru's attack, and when he was about to be defeated, Itsuka appears and manages to capture her in her giant grip.

Itsuka had managed to get to her position despite having an unconscious Momo and a gigantic cannon tied to her. Fumikage is also defeated when Kinoko used her Quirk to grow mushrooms in his windpipe. Class 1-B comes out victorious with a 4-0 at the end of the second round of match-ups.

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. Toru stays in the office answering request calls and dispatching her classmates to said request.

Next day at the island, Mina gets a call from a tourist to report that her suitcase has disappeared. She dispatches Toru, Yuga and Minoru to the commercial area. That same day, Nine and the gang decide to attack Nabu Island, and while Toru and the others were helping the tourist, they hear explosions coming from outside. They come out and see the villain called Mummy using his Quirk to create puppets and attack the town, so they prepare to face him while the civilians escape. Minoru and Yuga manage to destroy many of Mummy's puppets, but he creates more and continues attacking. Minoru desperately asks Toru to notify the office about the assault, but she replies that she can't since the communication service is dead.

Fortunately, their classmates were not long in being warned of the attack of the villains across the town. When Minoru, Yuga, and Toru are barely able to fend off the villain's puppets anymore, Katsuki, Eijiro, and Denki arrive at the scene to continue the fight, while Momo, Kyoka, and Mina bring Toru and her teammate to safety as well as direct the citizens to the safe hold. Mummy ends up being defeated and captured.

Despite this, Class 1-A fails to defeat the remaining villains, and they are forced to retreat. The Class A members regroup at a shelter where the rest of the island citizens are currently staying at due to the villain attack. Toru helps distribute food among the refugees along with several of her classmates. Later, they have a meeting where they discover that the objective of the villain leader, Nine, 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. Rikido, Koji and Toru will lead the island's citizens and livestock into a cave to hide. Meanwhile, the rest of the Class A will fight the villains. Because of the powers unleashed by Nine during the confrontation, he causes a cave-in, trapping Koji, Rikido and Toru along with the civilians in the cave.

After this, everyone remains locked up until a few hours later several pro heroes arrive on the island and get them out of there, providing first aid.

During the exhibition, Toru reveals her new ability to grab and warp light, grabbing one of Yuga's laser beams, and bending it into a group of Bots, destroying them. The three students proudly announce their success, much to the delight of All Might and the rest of the class. Later at night, she helps her classmates to organize a Work Study/Brainstorm/Hot pot party to energize everyone for the new term.

The months go by until it's late March. The Hero Public Safety Commission had uncovered the plans of Tomura Shigaraki and his organization, the Paranormal Liberation Front. They organize a large force of heroes to take the villain organization down. While a team of heroes raid the Jaku General Hospital, where the Nomu are created, another team does the same at Gunga Mountain Villa, the Front's main headquarters.

Toru joins the Villa Backup Team along with some of her classmates and Class 1-B students. Their mission is to provide support to the heroes who raid the Gunga Mountain Villa and prevent villains from escaping. Midnight soon informs Momo that Gigantomachia is making his way through the heroes, so Momo formulates a plan to defeat the giant. She creates and gives every student a vial filled with sedative to weaken Gigantomachia, and, after a lot of struggling to Machia and the League of Villains on his back, Eijiro throws a vial into his mouth.

Tartarus Escapees Arc
A few days after Izuku left U.A., Toru joins a meeting with Class 1-A. She and Class 1-A deduce that Izuku is now working with Endeavor and his team. Kyoka says that All Might hasn’t returned either and Mashirao adds that classes have been suspended and they haven't become second years yet, with the Hero course students on standby and helping as security, so acquiring any information in this environment will be tough. Yuga says that if that is true, then their worries should be alleviated and Denki replies that the media reported only the top three heroes are working together, so All Might can’t be involved, meaning that Izuku and All Might are working together. Eijiro wonders how will they get to contact the heroes who possibly know the whereabouts of Izuku, and Ochaco suggests to push their issue forward. A few days later, impatient with their response, Class 1-A pushed forward using Endeavor's U.A. Alumni status to confront him despite knowing how much he does not like to be tricked.

Once Principal Nezu gives Class 1-A permission to bring back Izuku to U.A, Toru joins with Class 1-A to search for Izuku while at the same time, apprehending any prison escapees along the way. By utilizing Endeavor's phone which pins Izuku's location, Class 1-A finally arrived on the scene to defeat Dictator. When Izuku refuses to yield, he demands everyone to get out of his way, which means they might have to fight Izuku.

Toru stays behind to help Eijiro and Yuga secure Dictator until Endeavor arrives to arrest him. Once the villain is apprehended, she joins with the others to stop and capture Izuku. She regroups with the rest of Class 1-A and listens to Katsuki apologizing to Midoriya before he collapses from the shock and exhaustion. After Izuku is secured, she escorts him back to a heavily fortified U.A High where they are confronted by angry protesting civilians.

Sometime later, she stands in the shadows of a remote area.

While in hiding, she thinks back on having noticed that “he” has been looking especially down ever since the War, while also noticing that ever since Izuku came back, he hasn’t smiled once. She is greatly shocked to discover Yuga is the U.A. traitor and the dark truth of how his family is forced to serve All For One. After thinking back on the previous villain attacks, she realizes that he was responsible for all of it. Toru realized that she needed to notify the others on this news before spotting Izuku. She immediately tell some of everything before they go back to the forest and confront Yuga and his parents with their discovery. She watches as Yuga confesses everything.
