After their bout, the teachers offer feedback to their students, highlighting areas for improvement and mistakes made during the skirmish.

Monoma strides toward Shinsou, drawing Hikki's glare as he nears her father. Unbeknownst to her, Kaminari's expression shifts to one of jealousy as Monoma approaches.

Meanwhile, the other members of Class A brainstorm strategies and tactics for their upcoming matches, fully engrossed in their preparations.

During the second bout, Hato watches with pride swelling in his chest. Recalling stories from his mother about Tokoyami's internship with his father, he admires his older brother's prowess.

"My big brother is so cool!" Hato muses silently as he observes Tokoyami taking flight. However, despite their efforts, Class B emerges victorious in the second match.

After a break to allow the mushrooms to disappear and for the teams to relocate, it's time for the third match.

The next generation of Todorokis is practically vibrating with excitement, especially the twins. They sit down to Midoriya's left, having energetically shoved Mineta away.

"Hello, you two!" Ochako greets them cheerfully, and Midoriya waves.

"Are you excited for the next match?" Mina asks.

The twins nod eagerly.

"That Todoroki, he's a strong one, right?" Itsuki asks, pretending not to know.

"Yes. With Todoroki and his two wide-range attacks of flame and ice, Iida's speed, Shoji and his outstanding scout capabilities, and Ojiro, who is good at close combat, I think this is a nicely balanced team," Midoriya says.

Hato watches curiously as Tokoyami talks to his uncle, then sits down next to him. Hato looks at him.

"Is your throat all right?" he asks.

"Yes, thank you for asking," Tokoyami replies.

"I'm glad," Hato says, relieved, trying hard not to call him 'nii-san.'

"You know, you remind me of my mentor Hawks," Tokoyami suddenly says.

"I—I do? Why... why is that?" Hato curses under his breath.

"Your wings," Tokoyami points at them, "and you also act and look like him."

"I'm sure that's just a coincidence, heh..." Hato says, rubbing his neck nervously.

"Hmm..."

The match commences, and the teams engage in a head-on battle.

The twins watch with growing concern as Tetsutetsu relentlessly pummels their father. Despite Todoroki's efforts with both flames and ice, Tetsutetsu's onslaught continues unabated.

Itsuki winces as Todoroki receives a particularly brutal blow to the gut.

"We have to do something! He could get seriously injured at this rate!" Shosuke whispers urgently, tears welling in the corners of his green and grey eyes.

"No!" His sister hisses back, her turquoise eyes flashing. "I'm just as worried about Dad as you, but we cannot interfere! What if we change something by accident?"

Shosuke bites his lip and squeezes his eyes shut, unable to bear watching his father suffer. Todoroki's pained groans and grunts echo through the arena.

After a few tense minutes, Itsuki shakes Shosuke. "Shosuke, look! He's heating up so much! And now he's fried the camera!" she exclaims excitedly.

"Huh?" Shosuke opens his eyes and sees the screen, now showing only static due to the malfunctioning camera.
