It was the next day and we were sitting in the classroom.
Aizawa: I believe I mentioned this yesterday, but for now, Class 1-A of the hero course will be focusing on getting their provisional licenses.
Everyone: Yes, sir!
Aizawa: A hero license bears with it the great responsibility of human life. Of course, the exam to receive one is very different. Even the provisional license has only 50% passing rate each year.
Mineta: Just the provisional license is that hard?
Aizawa: That's why today we will have each of you come up with at least two...
The door suddenly opened and we saw that Midnight, Cementos, and Ectoplasm were standing in the doorway.
Aizawa: ...ultimate moves.
Kaminari & Kirishima: Ultimate moves?!
Ashido & Kaminari: It's like a real school thing and yet—
Kirishima & Sero: It's like a super normal hero thing!
Ectoplasm: "Ultimate"! This means that this move will give you a sure win!
Cementos: A move so ingrained into your body that others cannot copy it. Battle means seeing how much you can force what you're good at on your opponent.
Midnight: Your moves will represent you. These days, pro heroes without ultimate moves are an endangered species.
Aizawa: We will tell you more as we go along. We want to proceed logically. Change into your costumes and meet in Gym Gamma.
We went to the locker room and changed into our hero costumes before heading over to Gym Gamma.

Aizawa: Gym Gamma, also known as the "Training Dining Land," or TDL.
Cementos: I came up with the idea for these facilities. Terrain and other things can be prepared specifically for each student. That's what the "dining" part refers to.
Kaminari: I see...
Iida: Please allow me to ask a question! Why must we have ultimate moves for our provisional licensing exam? Please tell me your reasoning!
Aizawa: I'll tell you everything in order. Calm down. The job of a hero is to save people from danger, like crimes, accidents, natural disasters, and man-made disasters. The exam to become one naturally looks at how well you are able to do that. Your ability to gather information, make decisions, move, and fight, in addition to your ability to communicate, draw people to you, and lead— Every year, a different test is used to look at how well you are able to do those things.
Midnight: Of course, your ability to fight is especially important to your futures as heroes. If you are prepared, you won't have to worry. Whether or not you have an ultimate move will greatly affect whether or not you pass.
