Things were looking dire. Momo was the last one standing, and she still had so much to do. Save three civilians, beat two villains, and disarm a bomb.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVX4f0pultF
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHciKiXdruC
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BS91yQLZb
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WeJ5uYPn2
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZY5tkPB7g
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdb8TU7ksv
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCiMq49EEd
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccpbNKI9rN
Momo: “Huh!!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHhTkCQBFY6
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rAzTljA0B
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Uk0z4IqCD
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWH4wluX81w
Momo: “Really?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj2WfmtMlXj
Shoji, thanks to his quirk’s excellent sensory abilities, gave Momo a good sense of where the last civilians were. But that wasn’t all.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJL1BBh1byp
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvfGIxndP0
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfjEZXsSvx4
With that, Shoji got on the bike. It did require Momo to change the bike to accommodate Shoji’s size. But it only required a few moments.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6OBpGoUaa
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeyWtmihWM
The next second, they were off.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjTIvlUuo3
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lIklOFB8l
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBwnF7S3qM
Denki: “Sowru.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CCs69x4WZ
If Denki wanted to be a hero, he knew he had to shorten this stupid state or find a new way of using his quirk. Thanks to some training and hours of brain rot, he shortened it down to 30 minutes.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xYKC0eG0Z
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LkzsqI8NB
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIZ3l7lulID
She takes a break and leans against a nearby wall. Every few minutes, Jiro would place her ear jacks into the ground to see if anyone was close.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyIXppNigg
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZanCEj80r
Jiro: “Shoot!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykv0v38ZwJ
The rapid steps and the sound of engines could only be one person. Thinking fast, Jiro went deeper into the alley and sat Denki down.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9VwV0ByhF
Denki: “Hvh?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWOFToyNHu
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIYp7HkfetS
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1yoCE4VaW
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTd6FGhqIY
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5inxBWdRsy
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcGGaXxvbf
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVslC8xJbeT
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGlRf4p8tk
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjIEp3AlVoF
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCX9uSnUSGC
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcp8rha2Ij3
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWt4YBDdQN
She unleashed another sound wave that engulfed Ida. But unlike Mina, he has a helmet. Doesn’t completely block out the sound, but he can endure it long enough to catch Jiro.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgwGTghxw8
Jiro: “Tch!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHn1kcJQXr
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebdqNDKLHW
Ida: “Got you.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiXf9QYZop
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI65dMS18tQ
Ida: “Ugh!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZy9ofGx870
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAaU0ia4M4j
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA8uJCY1wR
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dekSawuOO
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eE7Day8sz
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqePcCESpy
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgcxKe3LM4
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtZKgSmjIEF
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BMRDeqbJh
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdxVKeE9hP
Ida lost his balance due to the sudden flash and fell. But he quickly recovered and turned around to see Jiro leaving and Momo with a shield. It was a strange shield, one with several holes.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡypYpHiZoUB
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGNliPRqYA
Momo: “Yes.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBOiGqRRvm
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZw9dVql1x
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4in66bHjC
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZH3dHAiWR
Momo: “Checkmate.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxl2drXJkJ3
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRJpAskiUP
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ex0Ha83uD
Ida: “What?!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrvnRitmPSw
Momo: “This was the only way I could possibly beat you. If you weren’t eager to fight heroes, you could have sped past me and captured the civilians.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnIUrDnwSX
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejFBfEdqWj
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYH43Ctboi
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwnSrFm5nAm
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEA7lePjeiY
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fUqHLk6p6
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZWiaTYPSPg
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HBaqZrIso
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFxjoCfCVf
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcRQ3vRAUZ
So when they finally arrived, it was out of gas. Jiro helped Kaminari off the bike and started walking. But first, she took a glance back at the bike, a question popping into her head.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniWINKOX2Y
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTr4HeeEDKm
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBcJJsOF2on
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pu8l04MtE
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBP7UsiAXfZ
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpmDN4Aow6
All Might led Jiro, who was still helping Denki, to the viewing area. It was a small dark room with several cameras showing the city.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB0INYg3kV
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgWklH1vNv
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEjQBuR4BS
Jiro: “Thanks.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTR8O012Ml
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5srZJXtnkQ
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4gwYnTMic
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jdZpcXalu
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKChF1Rxm1l
Sero: “Sorry.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfq4kgKRD8Z
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnA1n7LuaC2
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPu46K8UZJ
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXV6eKTfwW
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWRQvImdQCa
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXQlzgs4fB
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07sNLK9Tag
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyHJNmRaOE
He could feel it; it was time.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iYQw3lzT4
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡox1kekrYyu
Several military-grade drones appeared outside the windows and started firing something. Shouto quickly sent pillars of ice at them, destroying the distractions. But some did succeed in deploying their payload, smoke bombs.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDWpO1wsPH
Understanding the strategy, he stomped the ground, covering the floor with ice. If that doesn’t get her, he’ll just focus on any sound she’ll make.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzcW1YMTqUW
The smoke, however, is making it hard to focus. Regardless, Shouto isn’t like everyone else. The slight sound of crunching ice signaled Momo’s location.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9OfJh353b
Turning sharply, he unleashed a wave of ice. Whatever was there was frozen solid. But she did get a shot off. Suddenly, Shouto felt a net slam into him.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPkTm6anKP
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FBLcZ57ex
The smoke cleared to show a skinnier-than-usual Momo. Her left foot, and most of the leg, was frozen and stuck on the ground. The only reason she wasn’t frozen all the way was because she hid behind a pillar just in time.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrmgWFge1B
But this won’t stop her; she had a heating device. She’s going to escape and get that bomb. It’s the only way to win. Beating Shouto is not an option.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrbS2rMD2L
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpOPGGL2vB
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9JaHV3q7l
As luck would have it, Momo was first. Now free, she dashed towards the bomb. But Shouto was close behind. He shattered the net and prepared to fire another wave of ice. In his desperation for victory, this one was larger than before.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAnLA4NDoa
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡETMyJ9PxRF
So close, yet so far.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8S5qykk8O
Shouto breathed out a chilly sigh. The whole area was a frozen wasteland; even he was cold. He couldn’t imagine how cold his classmate must be, especially in that outfit.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXBgN0QUoe
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBYSqX4Ago
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2aN8az6TS
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbe2leGYbOO
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQB8RHjlkh
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK77YMwP2l
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfB3waGkii

70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ9ut3HOhXL
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZIEyi0Kv8C
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaXoTGHu7s
All Might: “Now I will help unthaw young Yaoyorozu. Afterward we will return to class for final reviews. That is if the other students are awake by then.”
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1SEjkmU9S
Nodding, the class leaves the viewing area. As for Jiro, she gave one last look at the determined Momo. She may have lost, but her performance during this exercise was amazing.
70Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWAKaOY69r
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
