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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiiB8oNCjy
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5UokfXbLA
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZJfZ7AjMk
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnXyrFgUWz
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9E16VkMbm
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGr1Tpd8S5
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kv3e1kzAM
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6JXIfYsj3
Momo: “Huh!!”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkQMERAU8w
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGoJeZXhKH
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0bTtpPgbr
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OXZBBNWSP
Momo: “Really?”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7GGhVOE89
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbN74BvxhTK
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9XaJY17iV
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLFt1w6nv1
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhYpACIU00
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIPW6RQ8aL
The next second, they were off.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZMQtKmxqZ
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQsmqI6ico
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bPIhH2YTm
Denki: “Sowru.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYZgEDswme
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8s9C2BBBn
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkA5DX7Uxe
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRF9xT84g3
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZyLCfs5AO
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lEAopUxo2
Jiro: “Shoot!”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xnhfzwAmj
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRz0MuNwMHi
Denki: “Hvh?”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HGKZgcEZL
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb3Md96ndsp
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0gFRj7RiSo
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2ZsBhN5ep
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVwcWcC47r
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53RUPtU3NN
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekVJlP1GZx
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HCRdpSfsD
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu46xHmBf1c
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQheEDlmX0R
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7UdcpkmZnq
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAhqgnbu2U
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCLlmBd2rsZ
Jiro: “Tch!”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6FGkcw60b
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QKPFIlgq8
Ida: “Got you.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡybKsFf4Ziv
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnIi4HVDzkN
Ida: “Ugh!”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBgjaxLMAm
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFIAHwXpvvU
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8QqW1rzfLO
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84peau4RQN
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvGyhhbue4b
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZLvwG01MBD
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHkRjXLMek
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHPDSab0S1
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4BCvIBPbX
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOLDU2DCj3D
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuyEAvTLvo
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMPMaBDHAO
Momo: “Yes.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡecQKvVNST2
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1t7aigt5kL
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFQnHeSdTR
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvDgHWgOcj
Momo: “Checkmate.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OUStfv3rq
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBYPwTuFoR
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUP11869qS
Ida: “What?!”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqSAiILRIu
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.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBMpHBBo7Xx
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcCOMkAwII
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZSlGIF8DFp
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9x0VFbz2B
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VRLUxoZkt
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9GBrit2P1B
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97RAIdDaM9
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wf35sdpEs
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMbjlfvmTY
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5zpfK4SAm
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCVQNobQaO
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ21H1RP9Eh5
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh63ncoO3zD
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqJ4awxXHWc
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWKHB5KqEGH
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFT7AVMd9K
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlwcRSRnZ1
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq40GwIzqi7
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUl21O5rgl
Jiro: “Thanks.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbIgiriGDT
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz0SRGWNQf
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsy0bBF7jh
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbXXsLxqfbc
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCkjaMdaJy
Sero: “Sorry.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzatvG1hyyQ
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFacjUWgmjr
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtbZGewmNZ
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3JvqdRsHQ
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I9A2zSUUh
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ58ho4WzAH
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVnCXdNWSR
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkUZqTJgo24
He could feel it; it was time.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwJfLj4rQvF
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd1LHPdrBj
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe18OEkHd1O
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxc5UlGszT
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WMLDKNogc
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1w62MNE773
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzQdrcnlmhk
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpZMgKk8zg
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhSXW5kStv
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQJUrZWHPG
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjWy57i1UC
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQkcbYcHop
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyA0Ixf5jfi
So close, yet so far.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7iFzF8w2x
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVszcXPxF85
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPxqdmPbi0
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfuV65pV3Q
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ06rQa8xAj4
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebDm2dFoTU
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBFRUBzW0o

135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFouYmUHiRF
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJyWRWMxGy
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFEBPnr56u
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.”
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYROZeP1wX
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.
135Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9HOGXow4xV
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
