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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cSEClfb5i
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzTLLz0syZ
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQQ40HcjUp
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxtrjrT8b0
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk4rXsJsMWu
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40OM5UevIZ
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR9zXvxlgUW
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0VGJJJFlMa
Momo: “Huh!!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicD0kq6YVU
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrnt1Gev1U
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uVF0kgU9X
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOONBqEkZa
Momo: “Really?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSvuAnDeZo
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbvzyLUjnx
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9A7nC888qH
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp08aNIo0sz
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjodZAKidN
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJktgEuO6Mg
The next second, they were off.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Oo5ptToIQ
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUh24KAE3g
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyosBLYhjC
Denki: “Sowru.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AXu1lqYHu
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1cb0OHhDD
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXVzVFtbXs5
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVW3EEVfEa3
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHytoJqb4v
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt3MPxgoUN
Jiro: “Shoot!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzqe2Eh0L7
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1YGNK0aeH5
Denki: “Hvh?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8u2zNRZSD
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzte51kwRC
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuxXUrYre0
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmuzhqP8rXF
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxakswKAzwE
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXRfP54zou
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXUQOzYyPql
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5QrsoNxZW
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPPiQrA1Qo
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAVxbJPZXC
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi6boOy8JH
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYw4tuxEYwi
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10NuInv0Mq
Jiro: “Tch!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXGOjct8Mn
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mH6ul1sD8
Ida: “Got you.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkGzlYRsd9
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJtVzoasuU
Ida: “Ugh!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQvnL29lJY
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BbIilIlIm
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD4NjiNP31
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZlDc4mXgE
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnqlu3oQ8S
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi04SG0le4J
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUbZTMP6J1
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32GRKIZ7qm
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡog9t7Bbiw4
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPeMMfEkY37
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1bp73vmGQo
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAVVHL8h1H
Momo: “Yes.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6f1JeO1uKP
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSrNWMcViD
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDk7kLt9asm
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KPJ5zMEr2
Momo: “Checkmate.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HM0yx0GUz
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvzbSHvraU
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoL0End3ZzP
Ida: “What?!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LY4VZgqmM
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.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyojYboYoYg
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMGxp4mbwA
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnxKpPGExe
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJGOtDU8Nj
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNxQCohL7Y
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFtSTHQuq5
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbkMz7GWhjm
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvGhzKorhe
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxdDQtl2nz
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakIFWXruxT
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Lsdz5gSyN
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGNgfTjjkE
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaPS8uL00C
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqN20OSNypS
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaumS7VS6Th
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDz6mbae7Te
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHF8OrKpgv
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXYlgoL78G
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXy5GAiWqU
Jiro: “Thanks.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmdnC3Pxbor
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVdJvmU78F
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnHGtzytCr9
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefw1QYT2a5
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM8T2h5AopK
Sero: “Sorry.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYZDmM19bw
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMARpvT1HN
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtRbg9zvpZC
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuTiNaRAt0G
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgPWKSU84su
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMslQ3W2qp
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFUdIJXoz2i
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw458ai76Lw
He could feel it; it was time.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCj9jZnMgrO
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0c2FPGSIr6
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ15VWTm9Al
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PNc18rAbS
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMe3NnnK8Vj
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxzV2PvOYk
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡowa1FDImVm
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVK9AsfoWfQ
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRw3Kic4cD
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJvwmKSZ3Mc
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDOgqK5Rq3
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqHN7mDIV1
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1dHQMqumA
So close, yet so far.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4AeBLJOy3
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKSO9Ija6d
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwvYRPxqmT
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuxa8juAMAw
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdynLPpCAye
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksYcus7SND
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32LnW62yBY

Uraraka: “Yeah… ”

All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDEwUzknsG
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.”
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSgTMBZdeW
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.
225Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6NOkzRaYD
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
