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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsZAyKVLpc
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHRGFdYJjDW
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1h05mQmdu
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC0bevHKEY
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv3P9QJ5ufW
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2LXoRpW9X0
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5WZk5WDdg
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ262PcyaRUF
Momo: “Huh!!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9G594GCJjj
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60cAdUvC1R
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYO94cwlRm
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8Hmv8evjg
Momo: “Really?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPEdEFcdK6P
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37Zzo3ahIM
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJW1S0CdoFg
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrR48lEK7Se
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkk1VQ6x4VO
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqPoOyH6lW1
The next second, they were off.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2yZHbnyPH0
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7p7wCj1Tte
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8xQtuQoHN
Denki: “Sowru.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWKKyRCAsh
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEcA4eiAwi
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2Z26K2lxs
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSmfaulIQcV
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlf3BZwSp9
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SZTGb3MsX
Jiro: “Shoot!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2pQRCz0sZ
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlKWbGqGJG
Denki: “Hvh?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUZE5cExw4
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHQ6QTctVr1
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXG4fPZJlx9
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvMwQjri9Z
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50nDrFx7Pl
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPnaJqubAO
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlec8aCqpmh
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡieIW4m43lR
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMBDdvrYiqr
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT1aqcUwkOk
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMiGtChEDQB
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusR1q16XKT
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrp4QsTD9Bu
Jiro: “Tch!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ45ITi8n5rd
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaeJvaXPJx5
Ida: “Got you.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqbL5Cwh8CN
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeWgQhSPJT
Ida: “Ugh!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRQz0RfLWD
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv29iVf4ZVJ
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwyv72WDsWv
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz0gWFIPTi
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxM98oaxXv
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMDizMkCnT
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTc07d8Yb9
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxw3lRxcdk
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NsnwhJxMq
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwHnEaNI81
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0flXqzWtMx
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmMTDtrUtT
Momo: “Yes.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYZzmbTebuR
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3reXi645mL
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOInHwY1xm
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbsHzFvwjB
Momo: “Checkmate.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yfitiQh0T
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIew6tj0DDm
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt7wvIJVnZX
Ida: “What?!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYN0PQkTsrV
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.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6wgsfQjwN
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9nuZ03AkGK
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpTpYFvuD9
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGJ0db2YHu
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0TkunThvY
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9oY0qRugC
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYvvjjDUIP
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Zz1k08mV
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD8HI0WOfTV
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEIggXZC6z
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZeIeduZfNX
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS6guhquLhV
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFiYJwNHS9
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjvheakhg6p
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSlsjUl5xeZ
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoh36GxNFHh
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyLnhHpYpc
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZeD4Tszjy
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FcXp3fUYO
Jiro: “Thanks.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz9TSawPMc
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDQKNp2jHn
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡka3ZlNaRuF
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqF0baZEgT2
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw5RidamXn
Sero: “Sorry.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkJMIw6SI3l
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv56Gv8aQqr
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc2TZh1MHYa
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC5pLmHONlz
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3nJObHBvd
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjrq4nPxYb
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2KH2hFPhR
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRv6eqwwHl
He could feel it; it was time.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdbAzkfsZtl
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5eept5bnb
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1E4M2Dxhs3
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7e5hMl189R
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dQo0D3UVE
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMhuCww0KR
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEnq6WVcX1Y
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnFiGeVRlR
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4T2lPaBRW4
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHfTJJTFAe
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCrm9Q3xJ0
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvs2L5SbkH
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡst2ZolreEH
So close, yet so far.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsmDVJWRrZo
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9Yi8CgyGS
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcI1Fu4jX4N
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsxg3vem1N5
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15kDBE8LuP
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4JHoxQgUzl

Uraraka: “Yeah… ”

All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf1n1T5bcY
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.”
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTjddnxHMC
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.
103Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ15jV1NXql5
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
