After the class decided to take Tenya’s suggestion on using voting to pick the leader, Tenya ended up in 0 Votes because he choose to vote Izuku rather than to vote himself. At lunch, Izuku told Tenya and Ochako that he feels like even though he’ve been chosen as the class rep, he didn’t know if he qualified for it or not. Ochako replies by saying he is qualified, and Tenya assure Izuku that it’ll be fine. Turns out, Tenya is the one who voted for him along with Ochako. Even though he want to be the class rep, he trusted Izuku more to become the class rep, thinking Izuku is more suitable and confessed that he merely did what he judged to be correct. Ochako and Izuku immediately notices that Tenya is a rich person, when Ochako asks if he is a rich person, Tenya immediately changes his expression into a kind of unhappy one, telling them that he tries to change how he talk because he didn’t want to be called that and sighed when Ochako and Izuku stares at him awkwardly.

Tenya tells them about his family has been heroes for generations, and he’s the second son. Izuku and Ochako let out an amazed ‘What?! Wow!’, and then Tenya mention about Tensei, or also known as; The Turbo Hero, Ingenium. He asks them if they know about him, and Izuku excitedly says that he does know about him, telling all the information he know about Ingenium. And his expression quickly changes after he realizes something; Tenya straight out telling them that Tensei is his elder brother and Izuku screams “That’s amazing!”. Tenya tells them that Tensei is a likeable hero who honors the rules and leads people, that he set his sights on being a hero because he want to be just like Tensei. However, he think that it’s still too soon for him to lead others. Because he thinks that, unlike him. Izuku realized the point of the practical portion of the entrance exam, so he thinks that Izuku is more suitable for that job. After Ochako points out that it’s the first time that she see Tenya smiles, Izuku realizes that Ingenium is to Tenya what All Might is to him.

Suddenly, a bell rang and announcing that there’s someone trespassing on school grounds. Izuku, Tenya and Ochako quickly run to the emergency exit, but due to the crowded hallways and panicked students, Izuku got separated far from Tenya and Ochako. Tenya got very close to the point his cheek got pressed on the window and he finds out that the press is the ones who trespass, so he tries to calm everyone down but ended up being pushed even further to the window and got separated from Ochako. Tenya tries to approach Ochako while thinking of what Izuku or his brother would do in this situation. After he got floated by Ochako’s quirk, he use his ‘Engine boost’ to go over the emergency exit door, on the way, Izuku shouts Tenya’s name in worry.
