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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmK9Wxq1kfO
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpHQulL8S3
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx9OEgJcj3E
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTDoIXuRJQ
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiODkh22aJs
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHD4ujj5tiV
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9OkN0tyJX
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJaxupIxW2
Momo: “Huh!!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7OtwxjNGt
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqBpbtRUcYy
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCUBnE1wUL
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8DZwNlICXJ
Momo: “Really?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCukQ1o2OG
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSnTPtjc7It
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzUnL7WoI2r
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSzuqrKoF0
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5F0bgzt9O
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡism3UQwSHx
The next second, they were off.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzAtejnxDj
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrinAocdjCG
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vM0B2JVCg
Denki: “Sowru.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEZllxNy3H
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7veS8uS3J
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRyleGNqKBK
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjP8ELeWmBx
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84uwO6R4TT
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBUCIHxMUdm
Jiro: “Shoot!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KvrTPzv3I
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRskQA5z4W
Denki: “Hvh?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTmHVOMISVd
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw1wiIcOFE7
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOigAGJNK9S
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdDZGX40waP
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjQRu9aZjH
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4vLhURsjW7
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRPDgaTYxH
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEcXWypr4A
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2DrzvnJrTo
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvlEoNGBYc
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe29ceDXanf
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSSad7Z8qL
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDOgui8DgE
Jiro: “Tch!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOnSgAPOSMN
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPDHROGsgr
Ida: “Got you.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYELch5Wu6z
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD0ahnKrDL4
Ida: “Ugh!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgkfWv6KEvC
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JxSffSws7
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnEhRARZ18
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4y4Kl5ypi
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNOhuHSdm4
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgZvO3Tb6u
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiC4NXC9iDZ
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEEzsf02Lms
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Km0aryMbx
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6uPedjSeR
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3DQQH2ug9
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHcLwhGya8
Momo: “Yes.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡijBuKm55dJ
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYsBAHYyVg
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPs8j2ao6zv
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkVF1bsSru
Momo: “Checkmate.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG3661rg5p8
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPOHm9L1Ayc
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g6u0sPhsE
Ida: “What?!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgkFFWfq4k
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.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ33fBJPg1C4
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL58BWRNwhS
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fbSIHaFIA
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6Vpq2iSQL
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhSAApVgXb
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ99vZYR1xJM
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgbGDYW9Mh
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJCVsVwuXq
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZiBFjkeux
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZINAcsgfC
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwWoneEcbs
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4kvrSKRbh
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvekMUB6lk
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHVkN6INuP
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsEkt5l1mJ
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRqUBROxXt
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W4S0zAQdP
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwGXjXihvc
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5jWfKRjX4
Jiro: “Thanks.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HcQ0q3RAS
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lW9VxrMFJ
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYMxf5WRW0
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMNZVcdsUxY
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMGXo65bY2
Sero: “Sorry.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kNp4VDxQN
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIsRc2sR4xB
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50HOTSnof9
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXksPmlJms2
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFqkVazLqhU
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKL86j0dHm
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNbF2HcMk0
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcg9pFwMqIi
He could feel it; it was time.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZNtt0wZKUh
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPe4HajpdF
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOMawfaq02
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4wPFQZb4p
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ948RTb1PnH
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXNbtNd3UR
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPKHkmlIM6
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PhEnRWhuU
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtoUztBQsHl
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYLQyXeT8E
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzudaSsReK
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CabMyNnns
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVB4bnQ1Jp
So close, yet so far.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEW2mERkhQI
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQvEzcUIFn
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAm1B3r7cVn
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHxyX7g4RSQ
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMGmfdAwHL
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXVWk45OUZ
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fnMQ44qDY
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PTwoZMGkC
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMmfznMdI4
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpJUVVV3c5
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmZGUPEKvN
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5vRRMjUva7
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.”
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSR7By1nbq
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.
78Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYVcD7WOoR
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
