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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANANMt02mHBUE
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAloRrk0juVI
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA64tYRALHGm
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAflsJdaMcAm
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAb9RaSIqwG6
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAzhI9lFuwBJ
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAJLwqkTFaSf
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAHnEuFiwSLe
Momo: “Huh!!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAlpZMafyqoB
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAL8oZ5ICQEw
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAhXicNS3eij
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANApn6oy7l38o
Momo: “Really?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAb7Y1v849Mu
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAJtzbP3vUT1
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAy2OJ7r2daQ
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAUWnYLoo89d
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAD36CVDhXsa
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAO6MBE2NqWt
The next second, they were off.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAC1ABAQaKOQ
93Please respect copyright.PENANAm4XV5A2NR6
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAPg0rxuiATU
Denki: “Sowru.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAXFqZk77uwf
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAtHff9BYaQJ
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAce1fB1xjs0
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGEo9DArI6V
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1k19Bw6SzY
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAO9SZAwUNh2
Jiro: “Shoot!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAllUkx1Cwdc
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA0KhCFjFcCu
Denki: “Hvh?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAWwg6irzFk9
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAE7vk5rOM56
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAvaJbJtgIcV
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
93Please respect copyright.PENANADGuQo7HS8J
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANABDuh3fAyMv
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
93Please respect copyright.PENANARvd0pKFmt2
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAovRuqUtbeY
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAJ0UD7ZNGYG
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA38Xx0Zza0f
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA42b9jyuhye
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAuAWxjwDZgc
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAiELBc9X6iK
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA8fbWvsByoV
Jiro: “Tch!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA6yczCejFB5
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAjPt95WCslS
Ida: “Got you.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA79qskTaGzV
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
93Please respect copyright.PENANA2IIEHGJMqR
Ida: “Ugh!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAWEcN7rf7Db
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
93Please respect copyright.PENANASWiGQzLS7h
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAPvHyYNARtB
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAo29uAB70im
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA3NRicMTLA5
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAhpkpesf3IH
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAOltOF33Q7H
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA9J5bGPhYrs
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAbvcQ0MvyiP
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAhBQg86wx4x
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAU6OwQyoNhr
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGwpb65Qjvn
Momo: “Yes.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAHWYWSymIhC
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAXPf5Lnc3TV
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
93Please respect copyright.PENANALy00LgVQzY
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAq4Fj0zlk2W
Momo: “Checkmate.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA26PK3syZDi
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAb0w9DU8sNa
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAG3aSJRke9m
Ida: “What?!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANArxNxmkC3kG
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.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAxjaSIR7Nzu
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAHjVjyZnmxX
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAdgNtzKe29a
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
93Please respect copyright.PENANApjTN0TLsS6
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAijiFO3S2r8
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAwAxBf7znui
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAjlXgbJj7h9
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
93Please respect copyright.PENANASEeHRoNAP4
93Please respect copyright.PENANA04KpIXEFaR
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
93Please respect copyright.PENANASSZO2kGFSm
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANADMcCK8LPLk
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAbZqAq2LYOW
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1eoiV3eCOZ
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANApFImauRRfL
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAEgGgms0Ynd
93Please respect copyright.PENANAKhzoAn9Fya
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAHPGd84dbMp
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAznkkqvVV4m
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAgN5TOgFoTT
Jiro: “Thanks.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANANzRPtzxTOd
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
93Please respect copyright.PENANArTtnRxeMJL
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA684bq7gjUS
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAkEjEKD7APc
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1DJYlPPJ6X
Sero: “Sorry.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZR08yp8u5x
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAi6dukZzFRW
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAyGD4inc1td
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAFApPc3hKx2
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAVLLik4qC6I
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAjkQzHArjZp
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAxuSn7MPJlQ
93Please respect copyright.PENANAgp9V6j5XZx
He could feel it; it was time.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAs772V9vMln
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAbUUrZmmtQR
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANASFTkono94B
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANACJ4qoIgWAO
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAbRpFwFeScD
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAqdYy2aHtwu
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA2gYPahQiSl
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA2LXMopq3gm
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAhrtAjYQLT3
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAnft0xxWkMF
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAWa8umTgw7A
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAv3cwKFn3gx
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
93Please respect copyright.PENANArshTj60DK0
So close, yet so far.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA76rOXBard4
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAatXDuGRvvL
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAIUL6xUyQKC
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA5x973069zK
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA3Q4TrjKhnR
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAXedr8v8xHw

Jiro: “Oh no… ”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAhDnQzb8onb
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZLFWbq7Qim
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAgGTY9yY94L
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZevuaH31LF
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAt2ZBySAUbF
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAxXMKxMO7pC
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAvu1Daws2Yf
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.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA05GU7WvXDm
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA91mNn7GAxl
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
