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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFH0X3Gciq
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDv2KsTsOWH
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9t9H2JNU5r
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQPgrnH9Qjt
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDMdli89Wb
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5T63QZOL7E
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JZ6YqxgmX
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjnkVPXWtIB
Momo: “Huh!!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wR5ug7vRy
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8PKdgm0bd
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmzRt3Px5x
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlQYB3ugQW
Momo: “Really?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCozTl1gy0M
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzFfnF9HJA
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡANNYlHE2SB
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaqjSEeRhj
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpQgds5XOv
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo88EgMeeLu
The next second, they were off.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53V2FpjEvz
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH129BaoFV
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Zjuh7SDe9
Denki: “Sowru.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7hSSvJEQx
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhcXouPZ3Q
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIK31Xa14N2
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH3FBTkC2AV
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMEqYLpls5Q
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwMF4JupFGx
Jiro: “Shoot!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EHynfJdDl
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2xiKWKG6O
Denki: “Hvh?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VP8oCeFaD
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ71e7FWoEJ
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡra7VLBZmYi
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1tqBi9xpv
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ87cT5zylcm
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBgIs23xoH
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBhdI3Xz2l
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzu8hN61Rt
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99oZON0dTb
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmT4tcLgUM0
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTROmacFuD
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lfMFNS6UT
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdwNf18yoI8
Jiro: “Tch!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfCJ3KksUT0
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDm1G45QKqr
Ida: “Got you.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVhhl9Ma5O
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0lZipF9NaO
Ida: “Ugh!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3h3qm95cac
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsmLqRQLV9
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOo0g3PBae
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU18jJjspZM
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFVQx41y5o
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz3aVvKhIg
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyLJxWgrH5c
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95MqlDNdO0
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzTdSgD5Hy
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcMrpq3mZJi
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiNNtJWcjM
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonnpaAb3MB
Momo: “Yes.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZFnP4sHnn
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8ms2llCA0
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRUMhwgRTt
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG718bFg9Mx
Momo: “Checkmate.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlfa4LMbDQO
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJTiVXDJON
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWphHFoSSCI
Ida: “What?!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWG4unIJkox
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.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixoqdiOMjQ
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL10QrvHcT8
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrw9l7IV9q
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpvXDXICYc
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQ6PJnhquc
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukrowWbYJ3
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQYgmJ2qmC
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdeXSsvjzJ
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2UkLBwbSS
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzmkocngKB
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZgDorFWod
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKK9rUoU291
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGGxNXD385
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn8EJ4mUTe
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSPP3yxRp6
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoF16Cj5vyB
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLpPZ8yQwn
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt6Vrir8pSw
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIxaEKBmzV
Jiro: “Thanks.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDPHhid5tE
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkPbo7VVQB
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSaodHEO4Jg
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd7AY73BI2k
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCe8UZjfUTi
Sero: “Sorry.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0osPPQBRS5
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyAjUGhKs6y
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJHnDsgmQ23
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gI9wVNWeD
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbSD4dgI1y4
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFwIzvMPFJ
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpUnzvXiZ1
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZ7DRekXfY
He could feel it; it was time.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHemZUKAsVf
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRTfFljBcnB
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnukAT88AvG
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiR46hnPNr
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxdAuireXkd
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMnHJtDIfU
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EhEaNfX7H
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5vOf8gmk5
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdGKZgJ6vS
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Cvk1AIru
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUMD8XQqctk
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV1q7EDKcvh
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFe04HGDCve
So close, yet so far.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRIK95x5Pr
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGahwxnUDz
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYMVu1ahZP
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJWQ4PETKC
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡff8PX04lAX
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJk2YSz5e3X

185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNakWzTvOuh
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGrTmnjvCa
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ypmGM70tK
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFZqDSnNVb
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEngS5pwB78
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.”
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIuYY0D8Zl
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.
185Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtPnvkXBNk9
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
