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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yReQG2ukZ
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYXFmVd9oL
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofMRMZJT6g
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ1snmWYXci
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVTejpKiQY
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSow6Uoy5a
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjgFX7rSy1
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGP1ollfr6
Momo: “Huh!!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57Ls2F0WiY
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgcBpdamZM
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDDn8twfmE
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMjGPxORfn3
Momo: “Really?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOYP2a7WrGs
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCQ6Rr46tJj
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfiX24up3V
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB44rksjpTY
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDQceiH4imR
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LWWlT770o
The next second, they were off.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohO4SfMlO5
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCkdeRFmsOU
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz553K51iW4
Denki: “Sowru.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVgZh238VP
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqR5wrxP6HM
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLuXJhUIYo
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2MszJ8Dn3
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8jQ7gZ9ZD
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9V2KmgjRiL
Jiro: “Shoot!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrLi1HT4GjD
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42QBdQYACS
Denki: “Hvh?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡng50Io3HFK
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIixKGvEmn
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoINb4qoPe
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOljjF9ksBL
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1q3a6p7lJA
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWuLUuGKhu
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntZXky2z9z
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbh9lVCDRL
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtooU2yeLqk
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyE0470xRT2
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXoAtS5OGo0
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYv8WccMimJ
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa2BvyrNOLB
Jiro: “Tch!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWCcQF8KSNv
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbrptasp4i
Ida: “Got you.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIt4BSUaifc
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6c6sBaNbC
Ida: “Ugh!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7EIBPUbnLq
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCT09RrwhgI
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7xjD5HdmQs
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY6S8WdCXB
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoKuMSStjzU
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHdPRjR54z
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfIqHPlArN
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY8yivYoGg
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJKsLzqsAi
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCVhj9PoQR
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡios2BXZDXo
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqux8NXs7M
Momo: “Yes.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIaRDGbHzVC
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqPY6ZcYxs
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2sqLWrmOJ0
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfF2mWy4R7
Momo: “Checkmate.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmy2XmPBzj9
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZVnD0GPml
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyQbd7OpR0
Ida: “What?!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i95u9YSmj
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.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQEtXyi9LP
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuhciwUo2j
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NzyaD2JuS
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzuUDmqun0
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0aTPZd3sh
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvLKKNpol9
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD22xmI3yxb
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBopVutxsGx
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnYNPyD6N3N
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaUIrS6feS
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB5jqxIhYnE
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjhBzcYsZi
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhrpwUd0o6
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUil44TyiEC
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pFhqLayTF
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiRV8pDIHSO
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡetwUL0zleF
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKknQgeXZ5C
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCqQuEWcCE
Jiro: “Thanks.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4sUJTntx6
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzAwQOUELs
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0sT3wQUalb
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCJYxtFa2sU
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGDLliSSglh
Sero: “Sorry.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhD94PRkGX
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkxpnPdfzc
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz90jZsH4Y0
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCElTfRDmig
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdlUumtKkg
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdGixUdG39
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGL3SjPSss
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTdKbQhxDZ
He could feel it; it was time.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmzZoC1Bo0u
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfucSRGNCk
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9yQgnLwpr
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X1j0H7Z84
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k8FI2jtpn
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhPuC04E0b
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6aHEs7Y6YH
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSxyMVGeZT
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡotTmxq1rwA
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxcAKqtqqdC
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrevFmS7b5J
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SbYqG6mun
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDn0XuC5hPf
So close, yet so far.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtYDEJPqeFP
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDqQ1Sg8Vk
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaRdPPO8GX
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3pySsG4jn
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡciISzQGBm7
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggTNRakCWt
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwCWLWrabK
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe2sC5SStSP
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KiR9GQUby
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ChxSL4fIy
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqfu6LdRav
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.”
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbP4LbVTye0
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.
158Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKRGdbxJrb
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
