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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡze5Rzp9RH1
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLAPLVGica
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7JE4P4bUuw
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpOvqQNjNn5
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWulQe7P0p7
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv90oKUNOcg
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMeLQ7U5p2
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtvFfjG2BM
Momo: “Huh!!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPrH36czg3n
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRV9Y3U4flm
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡut5xKQjXzD
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0voBAJG6r
Momo: “Really?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm924Z0q1ml
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2BzTpI6Yy
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rvdazfQzp
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3YoLDWUDMk
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEwPO8CtMM5
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2AuCkJjgB
The next second, they were off.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFgrQvgY7l
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSu3EK2qlkT
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQhVELjOrKt
Denki: “Sowru.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqL598k3NZI
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgYWwuZfSet
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKHhkdjfGA
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0ajh1Bvdt
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIk5o5VY4jr
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQJeZsOusp
Jiro: “Shoot!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ49rASRz7nR
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtC57nxepJ6
Denki: “Hvh?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEMLkzuM7P
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjEd4XPtoA8
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35b95mE5Gi
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Csye6Wi9T
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmwYoLu662
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZXrswabXp1
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ95SkZWpkwl
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrwNP6fKVZ
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXn6Gg42Ug4
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwzFTQoUY4
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9kzF4FVqDe
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3XLtV5mJx
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIVy2QCBaI
Jiro: “Tch!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59KqVBVk2t
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJb2qs29Ga2
Ida: “Got you.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4YFsCBvjh
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAZyyUTbFI
Ida: “Ugh!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFDRRUmv0Q
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyBE4BEHk8
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2v8NOeC7fi
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8q7lSsdHn8
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBAvx3Rlos
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQF1MtBO9Y
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXYK3KpgG2r
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IrdaLf26N
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZHVlbEQC9
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ5jpAMKnL
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPMFx4zZUp
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiOOFFQB1is
Momo: “Yes.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMoqfTSOPgn
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBDSst2q4H4
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlL7FChXjbn
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXdPfwQ6bFv
Momo: “Checkmate.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5nEJRqZpX
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNNP2Uljpt
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYFJvwiimca
Ida: “What?!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1kgdS2JN6D
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.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHWLVRnflF
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSiUMz4AcC
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECHikzqsvf
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck4enDGJYn
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUV7tz2OpL
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiblPT5b7rn
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB9hx7ry0q
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUH8v6uH6f5
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fyIWiZrcm
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ14xBtIW4Rd
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBEfkEQhi9
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiykq9eh9q7
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7b8oBZD1sC
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5CXm6uxL7d
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBSIzRjc9L
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLduSoPcZH
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwGGALgJ4P
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzft3irtCzX
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJ2GNB4Ssc
Jiro: “Thanks.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMO6uxKWv0
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXv2nBSnHd
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbThT5OD8Ln
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡol7N7Milkz
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqubxp9UMI
Sero: “Sorry.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqbmfk2Km8
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJQVG77Adi
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2YE7eNGvB
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQzxa6Koym
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv9DUM6AgZo
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhRPfAKGq8
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBEVtn7CT5
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQ5lY7Ted9
He could feel it; it was time.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSuZUYUc6Cl
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPNVDzT1nsq
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jt4W0w6nz
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAX7PTGDzo
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0chnXauPq
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8phRy6gQj
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmohwNoT4c
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfQv76LRV1
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwOpfIsYND
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9y0apzBAQ
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKr5R0KP0Yd
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzN7zcHR12V
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalnvFXn7Rl
So close, yet so far.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqu2S2O9I2z
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhqnqN0A9G8
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54H3Axl8sM
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhlIMs0ovK
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W4H7U7wcN
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpc6rQ9c01Y
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLCmPLfNfr

Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmTahdUUxW
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDyd2LwfSX
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.”
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM6GVhfXOr
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.
37Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66juNQ71Mb
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
