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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWnloWfvDb
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJllX3Nhyu
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGyf17TGBY
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcJHR6E5Qz
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6yzoyjPZ6Z
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrik1l0sSQw
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeJL3yLY02
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4TuycLEDW
Momo: “Huh!!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3QvMqDUiK
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIMGCYqTIz
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDrDewfVfxN
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsv50ohr9nD
Momo: “Really?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9gGSKHmlR
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHecllSjz0K
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqELGbpkK9
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKk9sU7UZy
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4lrs6IHj6
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpueRh5M4ME
The next second, they were off.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbXoIxZR1A
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ29TCYj6tzn
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOc59RuSsq
Denki: “Sowru.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM9VIxXAuVW
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6SaeysdW1
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTaLv24gQH
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVCWhUYPJf
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHyjMunUJO
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGl7oJgRjzT
Jiro: “Shoot!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQ5bUmH2Ik
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHJTTrFdLFr
Denki: “Hvh?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKrZS8DFyld
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBBhzbkkqaT
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUosEErjQoU
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3eVupVGbY
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0hVuc3xtBG
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIy5H7lRFQg
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡThUwef33zi
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpykFD6eFEz
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxenvZ7DEXV
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Qt7am9k2t
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOs8iDljGN
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZ5QK39GvT
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnhgPqsC2Cb
Jiro: “Tch!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6sOaUJ6KS
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB1biR35aY
Ida: “Got you.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFOn3mYli9f
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ReHEtJEiK
Ida: “Ugh!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdikIfaono
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpw9oa8FMZ
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvOXBiiA4qF
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9p0AxPpHD
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxvqoF9B704
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzbgpNcvMR
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEFXmGvEeU
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNm6cpOrDHI
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjHcDuVLCU
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0GZfvHx3B
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukHZrvKcZF
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2yDBGfhtB
Momo: “Yes.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpd99rFEsdy
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSpwSFwiYG
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMBCJBD45i
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv7wncVSNm
Momo: “Checkmate.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRlTzwSI8t
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpWO08fVRZ
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj3h5rHa8Ah
Ida: “What?!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVKHFuUKoI
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.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13lGPEM7jm
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgNsRZN3y6
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZpCsS77YmH
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNF27RGujpj
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYqta99fMv7
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHr6Un07Vl
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPVGmPIq82
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKP8xDjeDf
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cXtjR4A70
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSpCj8gauI
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfSs3XYdRB
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VxqyXE8GR
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6X2tNDfaOl
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKJh56v9Nq
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVJCFG8Czp
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZVNCwZShT
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFn0W9icGR
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIImES83j7H
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxslHram0Yv
Jiro: “Thanks.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLmR4jCMgp
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZyi2pJmpb
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYFQLR7ndN
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhzr2243Fb
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFNG86mC6wh
Sero: “Sorry.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SRGTc43qW
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmtLXN2yyg
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGY6qFj10yW
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8gJnX3aDl
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8hVNCGIMYv
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvd4vtriHR
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTMWgalsLA
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlHowRpbRu
He could feel it; it was time.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02evmbpNuW
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbmNWlZSKY
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquJbj029em
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ErhCWQHGE
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2lnuXcwtlh
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cgyqCwor1
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVCBP5BF9hu
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbOMH06EZl
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoOULXz06o
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt3JvpOk5yQ
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrApKiB3h2I
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAnPiKaAWZu
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRRmjO1n7d4
So close, yet so far.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPRgHQG9Us
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidLH4HM5r5
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaK9WuAp5JY
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaw1RfJSkUk
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmZmavT4Sy
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzEdUARd62
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcn7bwXd9oU
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGqnkoJ6bO

68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5H3Mljkq6x
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gN8YTJnXf
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqK0c8ytbNn
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.”
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsX2Yy4KRBd
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.
68Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDm9Hbxd6Q
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
