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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9g9xInojbX
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKMNrnmXhK
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzxbsDBehh
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kV707T0vD
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcm67MjnlK
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8feZBgOK15
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJdaP3UINE
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVuCoSI7Oa
Momo: “Huh!!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVq1GwOZEj
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaniq1VS1lc
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkxAlhAuer8
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ89u8CG77TO
Momo: “Really?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS5Rex8gE73
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKY3yZpy45
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0HYOGM9wiD
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpclz4BI3M
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbO3cD7fd4b
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZBUlZLczz
The next second, they were off.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtigmSjwMF
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ88geCip5EO
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhCmtpnWTB
Denki: “Sowru.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1cqwKjGU6
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUdhDhBpFp
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS68Xd42gBb
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡksQOH2EXvL
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDJsWXP5qw
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXLMoJhHwT8
Jiro: “Shoot!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCuLIm6vrk
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡucsBn5C9cB
Denki: “Hvh?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQRcmDfwJJ
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlPB9FBarR
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfxx9wxDFSr
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAdwPoyZgF
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWObINMVr32
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9R6QjnToYV
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQkkv52PGm6
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKCUAMrTYo
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VkndOEKPy
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeSdcYxNOH
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxB4LNuPUO1
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrZwYzxgc0
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2G9Z7OZ5Po
Jiro: “Tch!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLepyvk6y2A
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhR64XEAUjd
Ida: “Got you.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMJLGKZQV7
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGr7TENV0h
Ida: “Ugh!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJJtc0iJYA
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKcICppEV8y
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ3rSlPhPu
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFADV0AcxY
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NkHyKZu3s
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABkzIAlsBo
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFLFuNfd5z
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcEo1G1NBP
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFZBhZ4hqWI
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9lRASMUMyU
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMYt8lXifX
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWQaxuXbmG
Momo: “Yes.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQtAjeaEI2
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwOS8ElNBA4
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMSCrKM951n
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vsKxhbGsp
Momo: “Checkmate.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXkgGkr9FB
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDIlyiY2PV
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Y5k8RYTgo
Ida: “What?!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIiiLE1E5w
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ThkPUyRoP
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Ewc3r6WYB
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwiwBYmaU2X
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhfaI0ttk7
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQr787cQLwj
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QpacbtGft
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAizI1ripyD
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuflJ3fZ2Ly
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡReO8WVyjqx
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2bQM6AGpE
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKdU7r60ov
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeBmvUrd06x
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzl6P52qlT
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dNuk31lad
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfGkxRvuZGB
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalyvDctkz9
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPhKcUHZ8C
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOTWZYHll4
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXu1Juex8PY
Jiro: “Thanks.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2QwzhJP9F
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwb7R9917m
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3twkQfYpZO
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKm77srjae
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnDvMwHItQ
Sero: “Sorry.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYEXeoNANg
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5sl6MzZno
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOCWbRj4Yt
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhDzmdQMYk
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPby8rmC94e
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5y4fS983aN
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOXjykxQJY
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW82TmkfjuF
He could feel it; it was time.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrw4FXXpSe
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwbEZRpGKqt
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYq7Dxb28Ec
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQ22FaPzv0
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrO7MOY7AUx
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdeDzvefVMJ
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsINkAJc9Rg
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJeVxXUJfI
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2kCRkZbOG
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9D2aRUXS2
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbg4tREqLNS
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWyZQuzqG9V
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uMJQUH5R8
So close, yet so far.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvxT5uERVt
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmM3HJcOVWE
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTDxos5MDF
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOC0hYlSZ0
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbTgcLcwFl
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdFliQSgnr
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6RqDczxCQ
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcFc082JDob
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTCitPI7bn
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctrap4lPip
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LrHPH1Ux1
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO6JYhty6Gq
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.”
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy5Ewv5kGhW
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.
81Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56QSIUt4uF
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
