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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA7ogRS4bMSV
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
110Please respect copyright.PENANASRO6RJpuZy
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAAUrcXVjWUZ
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqly9imGrRY
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlUWV0tVkGZ
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAvVKAlvvc8s
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUB1zSROvlc
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2KVp8Lpgbu
Momo: “Huh!!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbQSCRZxSlc
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAAZj35umZvc
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAeZShjnibc4
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAoeL0L5Cz7i
Momo: “Really?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqUO7fhCgNq
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANATNtwxMtD4q
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAJSpzodboJ5
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAtu6hUrYyh5
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfYAD0PfINd
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxoTUqeHRMA
The next second, they were off.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAsGoMwcHjl7
110Please respect copyright.PENANAXPWHjLXeNX
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANARBHSreCQDb
Denki: “Sowru.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAIURlClBOA1
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANATtoxGg4MY5
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
110Please respect copyright.PENANATPZWdLRwBX
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA20GMGCKC9m
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAbgSXwO5F4W
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA47udEEvxrE
Jiro: “Shoot!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANArq4SAsof3B
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZPXe7wr7FT
Denki: “Hvh?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAONaTn7ReFK
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAPCSVRowvta
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAPN7XwgP0CZ
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAz86toZLiAw
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAZEDdToGkzc
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAEwd3i1oaSC
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
110Please respect copyright.PENANAa9zxdDZWWB
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAp2Y8W6NaMF
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAIYboSDCDH9
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
110Please respect copyright.PENANADOTtapt2oz
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAu1FCR16ktc
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfF4VbPaF7W
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAp0Fav1iHIV
Jiro: “Tch!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA793SAf6UMv
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfG3YzpI8cZ
Ida: “Got you.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUq3Ei9kv1T
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
110Please respect copyright.PENANAxdcebFiz9Y
Ida: “Ugh!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA6a8827YgYq
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAoYnLZrf4JU
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAkWZ5cpKH5z
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANATKLl3Izr1E
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANApurKre0NC8
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANABZLXofvlY7
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAz92n30T0t5
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfgDBIqhab6
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
110Please respect copyright.PENANApDy37U1T7H
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQhH6fOoJrn
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA0distigrH2
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAkUY31VOFE0
Momo: “Yes.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAu3fKJjIl8C
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAoMAwaLltE2
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA0kPgxBPjAV
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
110Please respect copyright.PENANALz0XESAzJb
Momo: “Checkmate.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANASFkDZ3H28b
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAkTwWXUvv6R
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAWEDWJFgsff
Ida: “What?!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAjftcBWCfpf
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.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmPITlfD7Pe
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlYmlUX2oaH
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAOgYXrma2wB
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
110Please respect copyright.PENANADKROE8wiO7
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3rEXnigEtW
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA25uVDKfpvw
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2jSFYXPSVs
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQ6gUNBlRlX
110Please respect copyright.PENANAH8EWFc6Ju1
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAI5353SFlC2
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAW7xQsu5V1z
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
110Please respect copyright.PENANA9wazIsfKUn
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAUKEUnVolm3
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAGgFzhXtOvg
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANADbsXYNAVhC
110Please respect copyright.PENANAwLsBa8Yuwm
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAfWEN6cc7Pm
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA1qhHvMePib
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAQONq5zDNQD
Jiro: “Thanks.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAkYx21s6ZvF
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAuNpl8eVNQs
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAegJcNKUJhx
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYsBcBAOXVK
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAD7FDymxZOB
Sero: “Sorry.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAROBRqwQAL7
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANABAFPUOiSqS
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAAdJKUFNEMG
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAnb6zRGz9hs
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAOAK7LBllLH
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAqJU3BATIFK
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANABX0dhVLSQE
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3JAe3kCh9K
He could feel it; it was time.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAk5a8RC73ay
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAlJ1uD2IZVe
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAraThldgJ6f
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANABZ3S15sIHD
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAniIBOo97OI
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAoN6Wmmk5Yx
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAFRiVFo2IIs
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA4hNL0FDcEZ
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAhw0ssJ87wD
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAuqzTCfvpAu
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAHarjhEyg3f
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAmfpqU7r40o
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAK8cOQq2rPd
So close, yet so far.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAYk8s3pbH69
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANAtgUPeRTWW3
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA4VG98Kk76T
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA5EMGpR1qU8
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAKv5cDpYWpi
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

Jiro: “Oh no… ”
110Please respect copyright.PENANATTjNImxJsT
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA5XgKYUuhS8
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA2KcQKnUZfb
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANADWudGsgm0Q
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAj5V0QpkOx8
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAGyRCcfhl66
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
110Please respect copyright.PENANAAem6jslEsW
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.”
110Please respect copyright.PENANA5aKY6Qh7Ho
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.
110Please respect copyright.PENANA3t71AJcT1T
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
