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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpiYEyGdrp
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiXdgpbBeNJ
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dtUGsKXJH
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKqKqUYtyv
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOC1LO0RNL3
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgEtWkRB0D
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOUGdzCdjB
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSJ1aYClpC
Momo: “Huh!!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRIawbZnWQ
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjl2YXW0hdH
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQ2bG1zKVI
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM8VHsBGHw
Momo: “Really?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RkOgH18Wh
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO25Lq08HLF
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SowrZb4QZ
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeN3eAQF9oq
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYuS8qIw1HQ
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIixpC7B4B
The next second, they were off.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYx95yoFa3V
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSOiToGp1M
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdpOygxpLNo
Denki: “Sowru.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0Ybbk054t
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPzQVqhvYi
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDdl0726Eu
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLqJaJlbhh0
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo7XJJryrmq
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIywgE8EYcS
Jiro: “Shoot!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIfscB1FX4
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SErOTRbrw
Denki: “Hvh?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWP1ZTSeQ97
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPp2uybKAu
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXB9MJb2GaF
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyArMJLgXA
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qp1hZsKMG
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WV8PspWuA
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe3vgKGXEf2
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq0TvQiNpU
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7kV9ktQwG
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsETITikVw
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BneourQPu
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpt6oFvVZfJ
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9wcfW3cmkM
Jiro: “Tch!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFFnt9Qj9cQ
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXlGm3iAJm
Ida: “Got you.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSRkQW1WzF
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL00gXm326j
Ida: “Ugh!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO9mjasUqz
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT7YbMamhbM
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMW3kZii0M3
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2JuyCo7DF2
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxgN5h5iWh
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWimVAS1lmm
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCDK9R1MNuc
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPI1Ko3wOeN
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ0mfXAZrQi
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0tfSS0Ven
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL7husZvBZ
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdTAd7kOo7s
Momo: “Yes.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIMK0Yo5Cu
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFXJDMdRN6
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlcEJerijS4
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpReagA1rJ1
Momo: “Checkmate.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTSqBkDHSr7
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJe4enL6Dg
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCNsOpkimR
Ida: “What?!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7IZDv0S5iK
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.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOft9PhLCWs
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWapaIl0pP9
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyZXs58iN6
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ649UYDmzFQ
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbTcptKx7y
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxN9q6s19E7
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CDbROyiRg
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcSv31rCBqJ
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡND24OXikfl
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSYPYzOn0Y
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyfDXHxbEg
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPKHZYv87U
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN2L2OGJZT
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftv7JypDNk
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQvWBakW0O
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfHX2m5KQw
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRpYxKZLvm
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY52IOV8DvS
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gwve8zgaZ
Jiro: “Thanks.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK2ORqvr2ge
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxVadUsDKC
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHRXCkcQIE
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7s47hOz0uk
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0zFCt5wde
Sero: “Sorry.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1eVFowBURy
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOIrXcUmC4
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJ5bfT5qZg
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwfZkJZTfv
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhgZ9OhPEkp
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQQIKxJJ10
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrknoM9hBD
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mh2y2syAV
He could feel it; it was time.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIMzB1hJWRZ
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlSF9YFT17P
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡccgpSjjEzV
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBIW0RjmmW
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYF2F40AzE
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICyoFEZlJd
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuUplSK9bTr
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2GTQLqmBd
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJB1YjwJSPS
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeMkRONhM9V
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnLL8gTtY4
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAL2e2TT80w
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJC5GtYDdf
So close, yet so far.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlg4oO2djmH
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15mAlnszxk
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡChDlnKM56m
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKJ2Fcu58qL
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIKwFqQJ1b
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ23mTKJr3hC
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuHwCkNiZY
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWgA8sS0ofv
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdj3MZQzIcQ
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjGhigUBBki
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqYB8iy1iW
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1VmwTmjJU
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.”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDKzGzm7rV
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.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeLVgrw496q
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
