At the start of the final Joint Training match, Hikari calmly enters the industrial arena with Monoma, Kodai, Yanagi, and Shinso, not worried about the intense situation. As Midoriya’s team takes their positions, she joins Class 1-B’s back line, casually adjusting her tinted prism visor to plan the paths through the metal pipes. While Monoma gives a dramatic speech to taunt their opponents, Hikari just listens with a relaxed shrug, concentrating on her job as the team’s defensive support. Her main goal at the start is to use her Mirage Step to bend light around Shinso, helping him hide so he can set up his Persona Chords voice changer without being noticed. Keeping their back line quiet with her calm demeanor, she waits for the buzzer to start, ready to create solid-light paths as soon as the exercise begins.
