During their Christmas feast, Todoroki notices that neither you, Izuku, or Bakugou have a place to go yet for their Hero Work-Studies. The Nighteye Agency is too busy for to take Izuku on and Best Jeanist is missing, so neither boy has an office to return to. Rather than allowing his friends to be sent to a random hero by the school, Todoroki decides to ask them both to join him by training under the current No. 1 Hero, his father Endeavor.

On the first day of their Work-Study, Endeavor appears to give them a warm greeting, however, he quickly turns cold and tells them he only cares about training Todoroki. His son tells him to stop complaining and Bakugou says that he realized Endeavor was a jerk from their Provisional License Training Course. Izuku notices that Endeavor doesn't have the same menacing aura as he did during the Sports Festival. Before they left, All Might encouraged both boys to learn as much as they can from the Flame Hero.
