Two days after the Sports Festival, Mashirao is in class. During the Hero Informatics period, Class 1-A has to decide on Hero names. Mashirao writes down and reveals his Hero name: Fighter Hero Tailman (武闘ヒーロー テイルマン).

After Class 1-A is finished formulating their Hero names, Mashirao is given a list of 40 workplaces in order to choose a workplace that he wants to train at. Mashirao talks to her, noting that she should have more nominations because she put on a good show in the Sports Festival. On the day of the workplace training, Mashirao is at the train station with his class so that he can travel to the workplace of his choice by train.

Workplace training comes to an end and Mashirao returns to Yuuei. In Class 1-A, Mashirao notes that if the Hero Killer would have been present with the Villain Alliance at the USJ, they wouldn't have made it out unscathed. During Foundational Hero Studies, Mashirao along with Izuku, Tenya, Mina and Hanta are the first group to partake in the rescue training race. Mashirao completes the race.

Mashirao is paired with Tenya and must face Powerloader in their test exercise.

Tenya, Mashirao and Powerloader arrive in an uninhabited city where their test exercise will take place.
