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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GaNjtY6oU
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2DU7BvnbV
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSc5nFNEMYJ
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XdpJcvJXI
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGM5dsbyUJ
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QRW2L2stw
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg8jAav5YSj
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOtJEojeUsH
Momo: “Huh!!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7aKS5VdnR
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMBbJCrnt9
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmmmrrxOCoR
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNi2OX7Min
Momo: “Really?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJLsfF7wk0
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgI2IAgF1P3
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVT9aPbOVIa
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BK03zAIeD
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdftmYk2ytR
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK080kANa24
The next second, they were off.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoejuliIH9c
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5ffMWRhnJ
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8W1SKBGLa
Denki: “Sowru.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSDHEmsRhh
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15frnVnt0Y
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwcHdeqEHhk
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPULykyFd7N
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANW1PfOK8t
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8MVwMgru9e
Jiro: “Shoot!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwljOYgJtl
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDuOB6vprA
Denki: “Hvh?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bHZOG1zAe
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3AUimzMzO
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGe5KbxVXhc
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSo683LJ0v
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYt9QaAd4ES
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3KtEBiUWLm
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfXzKPyZqr
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfHGwicWNJK
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmw9MQTzWpq
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqvanTSsxX
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNOwIsTCMo
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AS0ASnWL7
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡexi2aDCtrH
Jiro: “Tch!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhAUAQ3vLX
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsE0bwMCD4W
Ida: “Got you.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4I1dHXjYgr
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6nWBRtVUkV
Ida: “Ugh!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fiTpTBDq6
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbCQMJvszG
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh0x60cblxB
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkg0nBMPio
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJQZEETTHK
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUAimaOnxk
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BAUiST5hF
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibEIPEBXUO
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSB3SB79de
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVUtEefPIPF
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhujKm9s2m
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6wQXRdcKj
Momo: “Yes.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oCcqGaVDu
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfV9jZHnTdV
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2Ng0bXh3t
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEE5bp7Bzm
Momo: “Checkmate.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yH4ZZyeFL
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrPYFHofCe
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgS990cKv8e
Ida: “What?!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOZwI27m3k
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSo6UVuIQWE
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVenuQoD3HY
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDnDwKQezdJ
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpG2VNwsLCa
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Rc9PRPmco
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJyBUsBbbX
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJwC4VWOxv
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQD7dW2xeP
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HlJrDApFk
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZh6tJopFT
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWTx5RocBk
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9u0oIMLwJl
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhsE0FxrBD
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMFnwapacP
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqlpIWpYNPD
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡad9LbNHrCn
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIECLcWxCUW
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOQypQEQ4X
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkbS2ZBuqxS
Jiro: “Thanks.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg6gpqUyUNy
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1UXBv0UGz
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSdfrR7unKO
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8ro8yB9Zu
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ646yoy2ZWu
Sero: “Sorry.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlo98fAdpPt
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxt0URSbWZ
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGh7RkDHhAS
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsMG0yC5aB
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWIviBG9i3
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYZB5pAt2W
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEfXs7IBz3x
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwk3pkVrVqw
He could feel it; it was time.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6MVvSPfey
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJhcECgW0q
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk1YgamoY6b
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡns99QclEec
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfK8yAvdGJa
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7oeArVXPW
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhzNFmrnQx
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbmaKHP8Hp
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVxIN7zwoPy
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3AKoKPVHS
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZPtQK1SmP
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88M5s3xJRr
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9aDwVgiHD
So close, yet so far.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFb9w0jlba
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWvbFYc3gbw
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwgcvvnjRJ
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4no4GAQUs
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9JGAw1Pl5
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQbuMxkGcI

80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZrMcOSNqB
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JrYQLviLc

Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwumymlLiW
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqVd6mA6qaz
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.”
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ9JALyP3f
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.
80Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUCzVzC37X
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
