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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRDgCgtAkN
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlpKtb0GsFH
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMM8jlFnQKZ
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWU287E4qb
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrh0kVfjDB
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7TUmeAHKV1
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkKDMqyM5ES
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFPOUus3bK1
Momo: “Huh!!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mjvCybpQV
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcG0E4PHu1O
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0FaUZiCvjo
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KDn2bLcmB
Momo: “Really?”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXknSKY1hvB
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMmuH0gHqb2
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEmUgyj0kB
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmQxJiYJFU
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbiIuuD2NN
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbbD8QogCf
The next second, they were off.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvC1uBQZJHT
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMYMfXy6y8
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2g20gBfsyO
Denki: “Sowru.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB6gITo8SMe
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA4ca2POIHc
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm06KDz9Df
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzkg6Sjppx5
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47rV6iAUj4
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtDqra8nxq
Jiro: “Shoot!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyXSGGDMAH
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DdJfMts37
Denki: “Hvh?”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyZaCc6vuI
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGZljfHZPRH
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PXGDdSL3U
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd9GGLwGAD
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DfMuKjlNV
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY147nV9tS
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNf6BsslCMY
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlzGRddPYyA
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTk6G9ZH2Kb
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79ZTkeuw54
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6pAPDd8v0k
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzips3Thi3Y
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZYG2OCM6C
Jiro: “Tch!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKWU2ZgUOsX
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCsLxD8Mkp
Ida: “Got you.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBkz7CspXr
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1myfD79Ue
Ida: “Ugh!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUuEnSKlw6
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Kspxb16rx
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6bCh1A4Q5
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf0WG3bhPc
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZt44iUjh2O
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMJwQZGcoul
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx3F71Sqd3
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU20NVebyOA
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKhJLK0Ab9
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyPGBkPBWg
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ6venxNOm
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwVJ3U8StB
Momo: “Yes.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBbH75Hjlk
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeP78GjwIev
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwSpIZhYLL
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTmJoIliPM
Momo: “Checkmate.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4zxRTnvoW
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEO4GE7Xy09
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhLOSXIcWgE
Ida: “What?!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DZ3Bxp33g
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.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbtzFAIIw2
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnzIQp5J80
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxSwzrLhn3
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqsecjthEy
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCSoecFZf2
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IIvnnHsNg
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlY8jz87SCt
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr641XsUSw4
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFoBzrqMonA
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6fA5BP6L8
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0by8AXW6K3
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9xt2KG3dRP
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdaLdaIgyF
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IyOYtwZZO
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtszEVjI5HS
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpiQeCJMAQZ
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTVz5eIyurh
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipfn8hak26
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaJ4UeGpV4
Jiro: “Thanks.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLxB1V9Bj44
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv9h59A1bQ
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jtwXGDtir
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeXc2aqSkj
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt0EAKWUHhz
Sero: “Sorry.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGflINSE6p
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡivRdhRtTdd
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb2iS7y4iSF
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjG78kq199
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQc4Fen5AJ
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM98jutBTpK
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMrD5iX8WTS
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtQwFHeDr7
He could feel it; it was time.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbfpAlJH1k
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdmJETJ58Mb
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡATEhFJ8ot3
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSIiXmNz96
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPY4PuuVJhh
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpXB4ne6qZd
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyXhefGCYq
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtChOPiKULg
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRZUwCAIWC
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuINIv1Qjm0
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i9pbQBHbs
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN3VFoDrefp
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97huyGsGmB
So close, yet so far.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYCcpErpq8
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDZXPsoQDm
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NF4Evw2yf
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj1AgPUwRc
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8kQMjDaxU
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5DS5Kvj9E
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpv7RGQREwZ
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTX2hzyAmNV
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoP7ZUxw15
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcAfsqfuvA
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZqzBUH7sf
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjZMVMRhjo
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.”
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPFQHWbLKt
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.
65Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24HKMMiAbz
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
