Summary
At the League of Villain’s hideout, Giran interrupts Shigaraki and Kurogiri’s conversation, talking about the future holds for the league now that many villains look up to and have high expectations of Shigaraki as their leader. He then proceeds to mention about his profit in his job in the League of Villains. Shigaraki remarks that he will soon be so busy he won’t be able to keep up. Giran says that he looks forward to it and leaves promptly.

Meanwhile, at U.A. High, Class 1-A receives a speech from Aizawa regarding the summer training camp. Ochako approaches Izuku excitingly about how they were finally attending the training camp. Izuku becomes flustered due to how close she was when speaking to him. Ochaco then remembers her conversation with Aoyama during the final exams and becomes flustered as well. It is seen that other students such as Mina Ashido and Denki Kaminari were excited as well. Shortly after, Neito Monoma enters the scene and taunts Class 1-A about failing the finals and taking extra classes as being unfit for being 1-A students, he only stopped when Itsuka Kendo knocks him unconscious. She then apologizes for Monoma’s rude actions and enters the school bus while Iida beckons his classmates to get in the bus in an orderly fashion.

While on the bus, Aizawa tells the students that the bus will only stop once in an hour, only to be ignored as the students were chattering and minding their own businesses. Aizawa shrugs it off, thinking that it is the only chance they’ll get to play around. When the bus finally stopped, the students arrived at a clearing overlooking a forest. Mineta approaches Aizawa while frantically looking for a bathroom, clearly holding in his pee for too long when they were interrupted by two of the members of The Pussycats- Mandalay and Pixie-Bob along with a short boy wearing a hat with horns on the front. Izuku then expresses his fanaticism about the said hero group, stating that they specialize in mountain rescues.

Class 1-A greets the two pro heroes while Mandalay shows them where they will be staying, pointing in a faraway distance at the foot of the mountain. Ochaco asks why did they stop there if their destination is still far away, the rest of the class begin to question it as well while Sero and Denki insist that they retreat back into the bus quickly. Mandalay states that if they were quick enough, perhaps by noon they will reach the rendezvous. The class was thrown into a state of panic as they frantically tried to get away only to be met by the ground crumbling underneath their feet and landing haphazardly onto the forest below.
