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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAeyiTMCCTBZ
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA3QEUVQWAED
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAOMO8Of0O7l
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAfWibz2Vhp6
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAKWeE5rvsGN
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA4S5nTNhKoQ
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
286Please respect copyright.PENANABdFqyONm91
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANA4lmkl3gixx
Momo: “Huh!!”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAA34eBlluAX
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
286Please respect copyright.PENANASZ7nZAtIX4
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAggroSdfzbG
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAs9QwD9rFNH
Momo: “Really?”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAxi6FEgaQ53
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAZhtbRDGcgU
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAGtUjZXDzN5
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAOOFh0WOdDq
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAqrPzwZZfjo
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
286Please respect copyright.PENANAYTurl2FylD
The next second, they were off.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAwjXoc52YaW
286Please respect copyright.PENANAOd1rbTmxQJ
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAYyJKlK4cmS
Denki: “Sowru.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAAt1gt8KMhu
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAMi7RFfkp1m
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA6VTz5xxesX
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAmBloqIqamx
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA8uqMnjnuZ4
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAxvRCZmsskB
Jiro: “Shoot!”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAC0X4232Peu
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAknzaizF0ma
Denki: “Hvh?”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAOga9Sfc7m2
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAEx81ArkMUB
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAwjyhYuGeCP
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA8dt1EOIuhY
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAGxwB5os3FR
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAnjFTCjxHPu
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
286Please respect copyright.PENANAh6EVQomWty
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAjuuoLjZ2UA
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAIwfj57OAXi
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA4kfDhqcsqq
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
286Please respect copyright.PENANALSnh4WAUXI
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAxMQ3B8p7y0
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA5iobVvCR49
Jiro: “Tch!”
286Please respect copyright.PENANA8OG29m0VdW
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAy0dxMn3YZ8
Ida: “Got you.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAFH6bY9Qdtn
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
286Please respect copyright.PENANAIZGDCpCyH1
Ida: “Ugh!”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAxbRaO9yGWT
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAY5Qmug46dS
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAN08gP7WGVR
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
286Please respect copyright.PENANASfXKNZn3Vh
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAR7jUDVSSVV
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANA3nXXbyYzO0
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAA4z2Cctd2h
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAiPDdkv5H0y
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA3urQKUbRY2
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
286Please respect copyright.PENANAKzKAAVHLn2
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA45MK8fV56I
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAp9tHLGBfqZ
Momo: “Yes.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAmDivBgB4bX
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
286Please respect copyright.PENANADNbxMAj3sr
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAhgzNHwHlIu
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAXiuznvtjiD
Momo: “Checkmate.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANA1GA0egqRUt
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAQnEw7smfCJ
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA3T1G15hjyK
Ida: “What?!”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAR9q01vg7gy
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.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAFBm1JZeRQr
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAceNgNpw5TQ
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAVoEOTKZdXt
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA9RvRhmlvu3
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
286Please respect copyright.PENANAtl7nCC1ObG
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA0pt8MXefTt
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
286Please respect copyright.PENANAeIQwcF4c9Y
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
286Please respect copyright.PENANACzYDUa04UT
286Please respect copyright.PENANAvmymGbwNLH
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAElbyU5d0BB
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA4hOxyc2coL
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
286Please respect copyright.PENANAXjLoGLrpdB
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAvc63B9re2E
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAS1DfuOoDY1
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAMtD4WojkQ5
286Please respect copyright.PENANAWI4pP9DkKA
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANADSLqxObef9
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAFy9GPrLRki
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAJfnicH6WVU
Jiro: “Thanks.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAK1kqMcX33D
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA84eOWFWimg
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAgSp8waDwTw
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAYigoTPqKP9
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANA0CaFU3hAdO
Sero: “Sorry.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAixcWqmGdFl
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAbMxxxDrwbW
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAjerlj0ScDf
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAudJDWOy9n7
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAg6TM0TPyFD
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAqDGohSravV
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAZtMwdKpiso
286Please respect copyright.PENANAh3fIRaXUdo
He could feel it; it was time.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAGMPv0PsKXu
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAP869Jb8QAR
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAJ21d6fWgZk
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAAn6NpVPT91
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAVPSA9wUa1Z
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAQTYMSM5VwV
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAfcl3FVlZb1
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAWxrHr8Tbks
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAYyjtfPbIeP
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA1olTBi0wpv
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA3NsVHUa3ud
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAZejYCKG9sm
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAPYlkZ6xEJj
So close, yet so far.
286Please respect copyright.PENANANR1mrfX2c9
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAIMLQOQG9Sq
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
286Please respect copyright.PENANA11ZVfY1lsa
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAbh63TtL2m2
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAiBA5fFFCDA
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAPQmyjBb0Yk

Jiro: “Oh no… ”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAekDyiruPGN
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
286Please respect copyright.PENANANLtq61S7iP
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANASio5iEk5jt
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAQr4yvRf6vO
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAnbnkpDr0Ku
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAw6vRkVxqBU
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
286Please respect copyright.PENANA2OQqZFsutE
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.”
286Please respect copyright.PENANAkXolE9EVPS
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.
286Please respect copyright.PENANAfL9M0bYWXE
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
