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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ2fLB4vkI
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbmwZ47wTV
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgAnWoOaqY
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtvmKsQiBn
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMugVVDuAPT
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8OBiW46cUd
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwh2QEmB3u
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzOFsGf1K6
Momo: “Huh!!”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRuQCPdX3MI
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1OyJi5wDRF
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1mpRTQofEJ
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvERGB73X4U
Momo: “Really?”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMHQA3V30a
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BcjPFgLqu
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdff4i9Pml4
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSB2VQGR6bF
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eOemL1Op6
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgiiiapVQ0k
The next second, they were off.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpNZ741WqDe
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5pLBi8yJG
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EoYQYoGpx
Denki: “Sowru.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqvqhmrdN8
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeARD0AtI1G
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ncf8ndVbM
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7e62lfAXm
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHIL4zpuOGw
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYVSTjEgXDu
Jiro: “Shoot!”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQ2rqAvU6g
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7ZvBDGNtg
Denki: “Hvh?”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPGe5QBqaU
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOf7813Z5H3
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjI3y7tsMfT
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60TJzmUmCX
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqFElMsJnK
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMnn4V7y2p5
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOPTWzmzNW0
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWEjbdywcW
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniXQQvVS0n
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMImbxrUl4
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZzRYEfMDE
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUyKGiAyqs
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKkosT6zQY
Jiro: “Tch!”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EafRsupRq
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4FtFFZ4kTA
Ida: “Got you.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8jxxiVAV7
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNubVcjCvHN
Ida: “Ugh!”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k6np925eS
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH4jYQ0bFZ
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii6fw1ihYh
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡogpR1pIJGv
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ59gNJFAjWM
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6Cp524D1g
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv8UM4TAPS
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tNgrNcLrz
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RKqjCLqkZ
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeYUrEjoNI
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHBhRJYkgn3
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEC1yTaQWNe
Momo: “Yes.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHZjHfhDVb
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ1WYAwYPoD
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKmoo7BNPM
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVNP0N2Yode
Momo: “Checkmate.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtwVeCRJoW
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJQxsM0DfKy
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbafQP7cj0s
Ida: “What?!”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLojwcDzrSs
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.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI6czRUpcE
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRM13qTAfA9
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTV5DBwQYua
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4NSBLVY2ZT
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbxYmwIrOt
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXiiWcTeB5s
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4oaKZTSxL
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUMJMJOkWx
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHDt0TwvcL
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4VFkRmXSy
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8mfEyFUXM
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4hem12s8o
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMztR8KZg5
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3rwDKOVdas
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOp1mKsHQD
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5G1v0yIuR
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CsUiaykje
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡef77qAVLL1
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqmRU4Waiwa
Jiro: “Thanks.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v3jtV8aJA
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ03eJPzKqjb
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz32cyAmfXR
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDnUg2x8Eq
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxOdjWbqxJ
Sero: “Sorry.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwuO1yxjlEd
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHscoJZihC0
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOdayJvMAvG
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2HqSffjRZ
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTnTNH7pWP
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRLPj7ObcT2
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrQNSUcKb0
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqUstigKr35
He could feel it; it was time.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVqSDqkqax
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbFNaJOUQM7
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMdP7AlqgUv
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEaKHMGorHn
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKvOqvvC4Pz
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ryp1nfG57
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4iytmyrRJ
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOV4QBlPFX4
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpAyKl2cLg
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGlRdWTJWYW
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6rUQiQqlV
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCnjyRpvLx
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaH8InYkLfR
So close, yet so far.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqmzvtQcHY
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV6vgphYw3
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTLFK1x2mjQ
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4p2NUPsqaB
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFLQN1bBpU

147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMi4zT13bK
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”

Uraraka: “Yeah… ”

All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJfL4GnA9m
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.”
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQSL2m289K
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.
147Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡop6KybdsKU
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
