Goodreads Synopsis:
Midoriya inherits the superpower of the world’s greatest hero, but greatness won’t come easy.
What would the world be like if 80 percent of the population manifested superpowers called “Quirks”? Heroes and villains would be battling it out everywhere! Being a hero would mean learning to use your power, but where would you go to study? The Hero Academy of course! But what would you do if you were one of the 20 percent who were born Quirkless?
The final match of the battle training between Class A and Class B continues. Zapped by Shinso’s mind control, Midoriya enters a fugue state where he meets one of the former users of One For All. What powerful Quirks have yet to be unlocked? Midoriya will surely need the full potential of One For All someday, but in the meantime, a new enemy—the Meta Liberation Army—begins to make its moves.

Review:
Despite the fact that Deku loses it for a minute during the battle,
it continues. He gets himself together, discovers a much wider
possibility of his powers than he expected, and does what he needs to,
to win this test.
The second half of this volume is taken up completely by the league
of villains. They're on to a new villain they want, and they have to
prove themselves and get out of this alive, though they aren't really
the types to freak out over a fight. We do meet a new branch of
villains here, too, though.
Given how huge of a fanbase the villains have in this series, it's
actually a little surprising how long it has taken for them to get
this much focus, and for them to finally get their own character
pages. It makes sense that Horikoshi wanted them to be mysterious in
the beginning, but at this point, fans want to know everything about
them. They want chapters dedicated to them. I might not be one of
those people—I've never been much of a villain fan to begin
with—but I don't mind it too much. Some of them are kind of
interesting.
There's just more havoc in the future of this series, I think.
