Aizawa, acknowledging his own responsibility for not catching this sooner, reassures Aoyama that he has no intention of expelling him. He reveals he has a plan but asks Detective Tsukauchi to cover Aoyama and his parents’ ears to ensure they can’t hear the details as a safety measure.

After learning of Aizawa’s plan, the higher-ups, including All Might, Principal Nezu, and Detective Tsukauchi, agree that it may work. They begin preparations to execute the plan, knowing they have only one week to ensure everything is ready.
