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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheoovru7Ff
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡunobH3DxMh
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKvkjmbiIQ
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRVmLp36Ks
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeczCjo9hnD
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgTccuhgBz
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nBBMuMzTS
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MVyvr6qt4
Momo: “Huh!!”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICvDZBMfQX
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LMp31Ob2r
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmt1PKuRtOr
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrsvHWQcoo
Momo: “Really?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT8j2yl2Sbi
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTAmrAk18L6
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdcUvCodiK
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ8eXXXaDGo
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8DxeAQ53z
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfdyIEgpe2
The next second, they were off.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcllEFiIGfk
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAGUBOAyhZ
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyY0Pg2mVO
Denki: “Sowru.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6YOWapKmzN
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE8CxgUhOQ
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewzPqaMYFB
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc9xzH7cyGm
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRaWFaq7sn
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpKZjFv6jn
Jiro: “Shoot!”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGp4ZSubrQc
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiM0MAu4W3H
Denki: “Hvh?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9qmoPG7Bh
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsq1fPVkFp
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaouZB0stxJ
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadSUheNQOh
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl33aHv9IHS
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ75Eq5607iu
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwl8tudx2i
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalT6M3lhN9
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM97xwmRm8s
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUp9Is3683B
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iMyh4ZLu3
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2dmpZGQrGS
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqlMpiZPAV
Jiro: “Tch!”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn6eBBt9cVE
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRu8Qq7XSkq
Ida: “Got you.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTUEtAJoFL
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSKzuuSQgS
Ida: “Ugh!”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1l37W1bTA
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4sQj4lOvFm
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaLVlMWszN
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLf0w8VBWbu
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEBM1VpJIQ
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0l5H8uUtOG
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLd7F2QB2YY
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapfGTQUhEz
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡurJxGPcMba
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Hkxtb4eoY
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIDCT1wIWg
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxLbxpJrj0
Momo: “Yes.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6v1f78M4gh
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWUj17Nrjy
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUSw2dF9Bq
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DB4Ev07Vx
Momo: “Checkmate.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDbNipXvBL1
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKRwaQzhI1
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7QB0s2dJn0
Ida: “What?!”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwe4ZdwKC99
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.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUym4sC9Pv
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDyXmnBmX9
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb1lx6cryCD
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMu3JJATwVe
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7mErO1Vol
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBJuPxxeH7
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUQxUELI46g
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFhxx7WgOL
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqW74kHN3qK
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpVElCToGA
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpQ2gWnDXD
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11ozLRZNkw
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dwl4V5s8t
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0SO5LK2eM
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYGdjPD7XOq
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yi0e62tOa
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJYOgODCDX
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvDASSlZein
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzZKs6aMOi
Jiro: “Thanks.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9kfG8hMf2
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiawWtTh9JA
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOD9b8hNsbe
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3rFtgxHIK
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZsBj1FHzC
Sero: “Sorry.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAY5KDAVwwS
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfw6O7MSfiK
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJB2PPFyd5
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡebld9kKMHK
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡran9Cgd2Hf
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaluY8eeEYh
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HqLCbnY0B
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5w5tcZ7YX
He could feel it; it was time.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI4ZHDwfokX
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJn6OxPE07B
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04roUWESUj
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoAXW00LoaK
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YIH6McNKv
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTL0IgcxVFG
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGMMby5cnU
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1WVMna7Zk
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF3qj3rH1qb
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVUKjBnp3d
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaY8rHuc6nc
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5Po7etTYv
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡio1MTq4XdY
So close, yet so far.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxcLHDCOYf
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU7atxmpqX1
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25B5ROUUxR
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwxIpKWXIA
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUHzwwUybEo

159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnGZTGfv9a

159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUwCXQE9iq9
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkj04DexdHi

159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz9VwPDYgX
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczUg4yVU7H
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTESIFj14V
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.”
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1gDuz0Cy1T
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.
159Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs94PWH0GYW
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
