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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfdyajW6TBn
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrzW8hps2V
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRBzURsG7n
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX9W0GXTh9
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoogHVizJAg
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuu9VQJDqVH
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yUdkCCAI3
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bpYivyPfY
Momo: “Huh!!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgEf887eww
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXUF1xeAGk
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORaqFIQEoh
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj1ikrs9tc
Momo: “Really?”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRP6ddDM1Ym
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS0EAT4D0mD
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG27GXSTxv
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOroALqJ5o
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj8WHfOlDRC
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6a8InXfQvA
The next second, they were off.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvGyrAN55J
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hV7mP6YNq
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhmoY4F6V46
Denki: “Sowru.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt1Z3luOc5m
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Wbb3qrlvj
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDfmaYF7FNz
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoewLMhIliY
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTrSw2aCyq
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMp5GFFeUNc
Jiro: “Shoot!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPUSRMjubg
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKpKCylO1y
Denki: “Hvh?”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rjGmNKYvF
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIiTZLtXe7
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdc2IwN1dEn
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3VFg53g9Ze
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTv8tuPlp9W
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrqmvU5xGi
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrEGKwLAf7
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ108cyqYGbK
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5A1O8MydKM
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDZuyfzZi1X
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLV7PG7NPPN
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaDuUIjbmk
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCGqARZTjh
Jiro: “Tch!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHMR3eKPdg
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJyqVkpmOHy
Ida: “Got you.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BCQAIOike
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPxThxjUKg
Ida: “Ugh!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz6AkW95m3
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw2oQF0kox
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6zowjSG01
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyihy4iyDZs
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwZRkmY37j
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZrBCitZjfF
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIGx4fpOvu
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9F6uGDy1f
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGN6LoeQGZ
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEYLnOS7MHZ
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaWvRs2Tjc
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBYLrSCAx5
Momo: “Yes.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrlqPAVsnp
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KCM7jsxy1
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCJXfkANAw
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6951PJOnE
Momo: “Checkmate.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3Q2GT9whD
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHu9A8zc6B9
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2flKqiUkO
Ida: “What?!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueGxOKW9WG
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.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMpn5SwIaQ9
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0is7JswxA
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVE2up5iwX6
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBMtoa3CIV
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVTH4mVMW55
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5NFkSU9zW
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTiItj9sbGX
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunR9K6sWvQ
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5qrGAzphv
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJfI0ECfbS
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡElx9KXfZvW
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Jgud6B8X7
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpUgmqaKGi
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGxX4KHLIO
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlk8gLB5guv
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡREtHrdq3Se
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDuILPyrxEU
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0fy2Sx9Uk2
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvn1FKdEXZk
Jiro: “Thanks.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNExknVKD6C
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPamxq64BkR
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUpQoACYBo
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYMrTNYXMGi
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPer4ijhRT9
Sero: “Sorry.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkgU2UrpiL
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCf8faLW0VL
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnHSFhwdvP
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoAMTYhjcf
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJXR4wN51dL
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaFuG0Z6vhQ
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmixlP0mcKm
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfnrDc18JHT
He could feel it; it was time.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYytm4e2Jps
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OWpzu6W82
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvCXPm40kN
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82Yznw65gL
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskziBzkJqu
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzfJzgJ4uHK
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtycZvUmDG
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5VgSErZlv0
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekAeLdnGrs
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LYajlzXoC
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDj3jcvD3oe
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsNtjBCMmI
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD4QDVBtn0G
So close, yet so far.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptaYl0G5yD
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGWOYjqXo5N
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfegCVKQn6
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvR19A1Xma
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOPsP16cdg
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbYNWfFG7E

172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfUAxz8yQ4
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”

Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHQ0eZSMz4
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jlxNTfSb7
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.”
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ot5pM3Gx6
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.
172Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcbyTV7EGIR
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
