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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzO8Mzpprv
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZfLHLJCPBx
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TkRNWEhDD
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeVYZTdXwLc
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCk6fBlWJM8
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8WxSNYrx68
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi1yRYmUq2v
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXp3MTt7bX0
Momo: “Huh!!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdpIr3f4IM
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGWFWt0nBj
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOJvC6qI3TD
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuLKNUjjG0
Momo: “Really?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ19hlDy9PJS
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7IzUvFmU3
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx0ruAIKIjf
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPccHGGfhJH
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VdNJDbMoi
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzesMwRDoe
The next second, they were off.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc8YjVHqnPr
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOefIYAw7d
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mUF09soco
Denki: “Sowru.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc6B6FKChfQ
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zNobjQ6ED
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiFjwF6yedO
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQMLlKYU0Sx
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh6E1jML1S
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4kjgWB1Oam
Jiro: “Shoot!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuHR3QaucQq
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5I5RVq2cwG
Denki: “Hvh?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDs1oJ7kBS0
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVBFnwg5HS
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIT34xdpTPm
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi20sQBfOJT
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsWIYKkvkVI
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25PaKDO6Ou
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfm8ouBvtcc
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXFHGJBJfV
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszk9dMG0aU
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPRJsMoSg7l
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSZEv8JZuY
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNKPF0jza3y
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKyoqZz8PsB
Jiro: “Tch!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcL4K1WtJ1o
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97jwC0J8Qf
Ida: “Got you.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rW0cu3PPo
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWtdl91yZP
Ida: “Ugh!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoNGaUtkdb
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz78lFuhLdq
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPp9akk8qE
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojhXxS2yOa
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVG5eXeVUo
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9O3QF67VJd
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdUi7XNjC0u
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdJrZXFfXX0
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YrCXzPhya
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwR5KCu5I0N
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ZOtKsuZO
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwqfkxMAcL6
Momo: “Yes.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpelUqsp0F
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vGy0HUc4M
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCxHb0ibgd
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNIWwXGj2dv
Momo: “Checkmate.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpV8kahs1Dd
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlajzDfJxnv
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufch2Ii2se
Ida: “What?!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57lbkW7HlN
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.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMgt5NjECj
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv68hte3IlA
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdHZkMoNDv
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNnMcstY0y
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyg7RIuBDky
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBkAQk2MlOP
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdALTZwxWs4
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPPq8O2LAQ
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsEbOmoJ8B2
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCYW0Ki1mH
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmuCOnc7vh
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvq1nANabyb
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJJ2W4a4Y7Z
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKoiva969c
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jNGm1kKur
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHfgbaSQw5
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlEL63lKbZ
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwn7r33gr5X
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ5HIien7H
Jiro: “Thanks.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFuSEI6iGS
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooDUvlXIVo
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmciwCCyo2H
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgk7EBuCw6
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGYbNZwnYGl
Sero: “Sorry.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRr5QchnfXa
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGsYWSp6n7
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDGAvsmVoU
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2MKAsxElaF
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRN0qrXEUkw
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4dd8HuNIN
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGobzf5DEny
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjkS4M75FDL
He could feel it; it was time.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8i4oGk61EN
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7SMgFc1lpr
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoSe1zdXWC0
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBFMYTu5k3
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFkbhJwITj
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNWoUnbJxSz
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyBPQGdDO0
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmQp8NkOKHv
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLEnSKIu26
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyc53RtDiRJ
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRevOuXLMY
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡva4Tv9KCtC
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDHUbbr9nW
So close, yet so far.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEIIew7RHhk
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrhz46hy2Rt
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEKiAxakdYA
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQRQ2i2DFN
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRCU5p4afr6
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpupkyl99e

67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6laWgZjo4s

67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn9VecaQ8o

All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHoOo4f0xN
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.”
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQI5GWpy6RX
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.
67Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpCPzSoz6vC
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
