Hiryu and the rest of Class 1-B are pitted against Class 1-A as part of the Joint Training Battle.
Vlad King and Shota begin the exercise immediately afterward. Each class chooses lots to split into five teams of four. Hiryu is paired up with Jurota Shishida, Ibara Shiozaki, and Kosei Tsuburaba for the first round of the exercise against Eijiro Kirishima, Denki Kaminari, Tsuyu Asui, Koji Koda and Hitoshi Shinso.
Hiryu stays in the rear while his three teammates ambush Class 1-A.[10] In the confrontation they manage to capture Eijiro and Koji. Shiryu reunites with his remaining teammates to discusses their strategy. He is worried for Kosei's capture but Jurota is optimistic of their victory. Suddenly, he smells Tsuyu approaching to their position from three different directions. To confuse Jurota sense of smell, Class 1-A had covered their bodies with the mucus that Tsuyu secreted.[11]
As Ibara extends her Vine Quirk to defend the team, Hiryu wonders how their locations were uncovered only to notice one of Denki's pointers on Jurota's body. Just then, Ibara captures one of Class 1-A members and brings it forward. Since they don't know who Ibara captured, Hiryu warns Jurota to get back in case it's Denki. His worst fears are confirmed, and Denki tries to shock Jurota with his sharpshooting just as Ibara starts covering him in her vines. Hiryu uses his scales to knock the pointer off of Jurota just before Denki's attack hits. Ibara then completely encloses him within the vine sphere.
Having successfully defended against Denki, Hiryu seemingly shouts to Ibara to send out some more vines in anticipation of their remaining two opponents. Ibara suddenly becomes Brainwashed, with Hitoshi having imitated Hiryu's voice. It turns out that they have fallen into the trap of Class 1-A. Denki offered to use himself as a bait to give Tsuyu and Hitoshi an opening.
Hiryu can't tell where Hitoshi is because the voice is echoing. Afraid to speak, Jurota simply points out the enemies location. Hiryu tries to wake up Ibara by shooting his scales but Tsuyu captures her with her tongue. Jurota searches the field for enemies and ignores Hiryu's pleas for help. Hiryu quickly realizes that Hitoshi has destroyed their communication. Tsuyu quickly returns in her camo form and dropkicks Hiryu, defeats him and then throws him into Jurota head. Hiryu yells at Jutora to get away, but he thinks Hitoshi tries to cheat him using his voice changer, but realizes too late that it's not like that. The heads of both students collide, and both are unconscious.
Tsuyu and Hitoshi carry a restrained Hiryu to the jail cell while a brainwashed Ibara carries Jurota. Round 1 ends with a 4-2 victory for Class 1-A.[12] Vlad King scolds his students for not choosing either Ibara or Jurota as their leader.[13] After the match, Hiryu watches the remaining rounds.
The Joint Training Battle ends with victory for Class 1-A.[14] Despite the fierce competition and the result, the exercise ends on good terms between both classes, and later Class 1-B visits Class 1-A's dormitories for socializing and dinner.[15]
