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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9UyUGq91O
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcJx1rOI1te
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqn6NFzfEn
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWJOVi76yEl
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡliJ8CD7iax
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQx4Hw7k4j
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhO5s1d5TNj
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTGLkmuriv
Momo: “Huh!!”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSYFDECFlC
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQfVTbVwk0
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaFWGuL5am
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbqTWqkPlc
Momo: “Really?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2wk2mdAA2
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmk5S3ysQnD
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0rJdFOQDA
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhW5w0BbHb
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq31w3fqQoV
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM6N0B6Goo
The next second, they were off.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqpvybouoE
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUo8skddmn
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBd4dVdHai
Denki: “Sowru.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkwpSldmmH
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsrAxKH5uE
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAGdjzz1RD
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCf9Q0qlBN
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsSuehiD8W
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxWnD2qXH08
Jiro: “Shoot!”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJaKlTGTzs
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgcibTTA9Ev
Denki: “Hvh?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡykePocydGQ
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLOSTmeajl
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡohPF6XFXR6
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu49wLnwLO
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGAraDDWrWZ
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5O5OgbuuI9
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrmlQKgCQ8V
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5pilTTnAY
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcs853KElHa
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0XBlRFShTQ
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbuoLyhYelL
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW1yJTZiUZm
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaYa0dvxop
Jiro: “Tch!”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoq2gOCNN06
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrLckSjUlO
Ida: “Got you.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBNkpByED1
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUKyeAYRca
Ida: “Ugh!”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBgARdHVOr
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW0j2jeXpx6
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHG2PT9Rm3F
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmpljm04UP
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOZNOws3jp
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Uu09fvjlO
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs7DTlcMcC
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFHAN4Qqs2k
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡofRIldzVrf
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdMEL00z1V9
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysDXVPmRuf
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqS0NNjgZm
Momo: “Yes.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskSxZM8P0x
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58risbyujR
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARb5fB3rmG
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqkEjIxUaq
Momo: “Checkmate.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaPU5Pcdubh
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsp6IVKPGfB
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjq9d3e8vo
Ida: “What?!”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9Rqkex9UO
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.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfiB8mTn1og
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvPyOhrtrp
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6BYhZRyC0f
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdRrrNifAuZ
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUJEOs74PC
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkym5Ah5glN
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PnbrXYQxL
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv7gH8boAbE
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKh2mpyLeRr
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl26xlCxx9w
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXyjeeaCda
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWsQpyiMY5
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUgAqAj4gaz
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡal0DA5n2UC
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8FWc9LgoC
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ651o0SPiUV
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiIf0IyObR7
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡapRlSlPmpQ
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sUoFJuo14
Jiro: “Thanks.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXFSPcBvD5q
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRYk19Lnkv
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ548pd3ooxz
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjTzNDNSN2E
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyX09hWNou
Sero: “Sorry.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRs4SrV6Hp
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e0yC8LPo0
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3lL3m6jes8
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwm3BiyjfBn
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjOHcSks2P
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdSjgI8HRlQ
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMrtsm4K7v
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUvEdmDv054
He could feel it; it was time.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGH8mo1qfuM
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XWCw9uIWS
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjKju8Aly0
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FcnM9MZla
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnHgeCG2rI
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzZ7hPooyCe
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw35TGFKIq
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡphfjNUfUcB
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmwBDk5n9Mj
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOWQssKq5wd
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DsIUGeJFv
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHe3KzZ2ht
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqEbayeuWW
So close, yet so far.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFAQuYMYCK
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXdQgUjLSs
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVhNHmzSbo7
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1IhMKuPux
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0u2c6jI5iq
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFEzLgiPWh
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwkDEPhRP7R

Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhQNlbuJ1L
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQAzdKLk1hU
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.”
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZJXxslX9T1
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.
160Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD33iVg21RN
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
