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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA0UaPxX1ia3
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAbjXo3ehvQZ
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAyvJUjw4FcA
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAw0h4U4LfHW
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAnWX9FDTsr9
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAXB0H9Ywqjw
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
142Please respect copyright.PENANAOL38GoF7RV
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANANgsnaDY36Q
Momo: “Huh!!”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAWuKLbsPT9g
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA4U6k4eOYkq
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAcdXDwod0cu
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAIvV54U53RL
Momo: “Really?”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAM8XsZThU0z
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAdk1gf2HwiV
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAYWFJC9jXsD
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAXZNPWQYyHS
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA9kJ68hMGhF
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
142Please respect copyright.PENANAJq0hvQluVQ
The next second, they were off.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAkt4Qp5FMjA
142Please respect copyright.PENANAoAFyn307hx
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAiAC4pdZr5W
Denki: “Sowru.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAcBEtC5nI8Z
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAfH6eC3T3ah
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAAiIfn7w5Qj
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAa069QK4uXw
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAvm3FhMC9Dq
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAxmeigZFX7I
Jiro: “Shoot!”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAnM1zV7cW8h
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA7Opwh4vyTQ
Denki: “Hvh?”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAxdSdBaWkqh
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAJyaAttqBCN
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANA9NJlDb2uui
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAt4SLnpoBwV
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANABICFxWEYlq
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
142Please respect copyright.PENANArDsEv3sSvj
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
142Please respect copyright.PENANAP2iJMejOT0
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
142Please respect copyright.PENANADgnvMgEO89
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAKHCwR862VS
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAyCv21Y0LGW
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAdKL0wuyokJ
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANASh5yqlInia
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAHGgmJ50kbT
Jiro: “Tch!”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAfpC7sPwlOC
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA6IVBpdMMAK
Ida: “Got you.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAnPrq6MYzYk
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
142Please respect copyright.PENANAC20HSAOWW1
Ida: “Ugh!”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAeWJxFYwVy0
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAVAz9IkI9jS
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA427LppZ0Kv
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
142Please respect copyright.PENANASG1aCOsur3
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANA3l0I1M2Cw7
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAuvWNQ3ZXT5
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAKX4mpAD4FL
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAeX7WF9fGcT
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA4IwH4UbIvH
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
142Please respect copyright.PENANAxCqH4I6CAL
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANARTOMBA48Oh
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAfDv4TOfm3z
Momo: “Yes.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAjFc9xpBIXN
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAFNUKEmqJjJ
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
142Please respect copyright.PENANATgRkgI6aqN
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA6z0rEidrCf
Momo: “Checkmate.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAA6uzDJjdDR
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA1ZkH3J4vpp
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAvC4VQyOkB2
Ida: “What?!”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAcQ58JKIn2U
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.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANA7xpr1VnOVH
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAuoFC6jqlPj
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAPPm37h6Xp1
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAD03Iuwx9WI
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
142Please respect copyright.PENANALAZA0Zj0bx
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAHOaOY0g2j2
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
142Please respect copyright.PENANApzvfnVc897
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
142Please respect copyright.PENANARsNBqEMm6H
142Please respect copyright.PENANA8Kq4XlEOXi
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA5VWaeWc0lP
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAraicjHuN2J
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
142Please respect copyright.PENANAcDrSMZOm8m
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA8AOpH1lSt3
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAZUyOYjBLX6
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
142Please respect copyright.PENANA0ruYUDWFcE
142Please respect copyright.PENANAAMTXYFUGgm
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA93075yG3RX
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA4JwwXMEd4W
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAPT50o9u6o7
Jiro: “Thanks.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAuJkjP8RYjK
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
142Please respect copyright.PENANA5zod1gEdNb
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
142Please respect copyright.PENANA74ecXT2L6J
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAjrvkkia0o5
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANA3EILQPYfkW
Sero: “Sorry.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAy8EdwFW8l3
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANArfQAvSzbtm
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAE76AWECWHr
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAuCIh1fCysi
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
142Please respect copyright.PENANANDvzq48dSi
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAl8pLZPqiHe
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAFO1RCrguiS
142Please respect copyright.PENANATrJ6rt6oOS
He could feel it; it was time.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAe3kvfl8SX9
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAycesfUkp3K
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAUzAXaHzZqV
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANARgQRZd0MsU
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAH38NnfGLPY
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAeub8QkeMNc
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAofMcz3ylb1
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAtKfRbgdM0C
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAGkWs5sga9p
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
142Please respect copyright.PENANASM41WrRik7
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAIbFKEFMf43
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAGzasxCRS74
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
142Please respect copyright.PENANARFdLgf4iIC
So close, yet so far.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAyoF8ycPqJv
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAf8fWPMaX1x
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAFZHEUg2xHV
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAR6fXH8ago5
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANACa9jX6OqDp
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

Jiro: “Oh no… ”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAjOdBC0v3lr
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAwP4iwgZ6xL
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAGs2lXzbEIE
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANATvOsVvciPy
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAhWr1jnMMh0
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAqbGzRND859
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
142Please respect copyright.PENANAQqNLcEUgSu
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.”
142Please respect copyright.PENANA5tJJaOpKeW
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.
142Please respect copyright.PENANAYptAKfWARp
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
