Cementoss tells Eijiro and Rikido that their weakness is drawn out battles and advises the duo to push their strength to the limit. Eijiro and Rikido are unable to get past Cementoss' walls by the time the End of Term Test finishes, and as a result, they fail.

Back in class at U.A., Rikido is crestfallen that he is unable to go to the forest lodge due to failing the practical test Soon, Shota enters the classroom and informs Class 1-A that all of them are going to the forest lodge which will be a boot camp, which makes Rikido happy.

Soon, Class 1-A realize that they have already arrived at their destination and their training camp has already begun with the Pussycats being their supervisors.
