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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDanSsIAETx
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nx2QLjj4Y
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEC863SwlX
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWHOV2ua2c
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPvqmXy1lr
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOR7SmzA7j
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVbumWeyMho
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpeJKWqDH07
Momo: “Huh!!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2gR328hiPU
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmexM6DMnwX
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjLfrMJnO5J
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkEDbic1Nq
Momo: “Really?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBYfR86YSI
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzTE4YrIm05
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNUTHtO446U
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaywQVdYoI
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgECVtJtmG
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfrwTPIJ2v
The next second, they were off.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfODzw6DsGa
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCQqjsGfFh
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCxdWT1GWt
Denki: “Sowru.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4m8QP7wMRb
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSNPD3ASS5O
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEPs7xEMGW1
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK8tALVqdLO
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSU0VkDaq5
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDN2QniBym
Jiro: “Shoot!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ391b1LciG
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1pdQlzS2H
Denki: “Hvh?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPXdHCvEUa
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDoqLRpQKN
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnAM9Jbnvk
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbVRvobBYQ
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4jReStVF2G
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBOQYK0LjQ
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrtZKszj0d
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDAfyC1rNg
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCuR87gIC5x
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJYZSuU2dj
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FxcW6Kv5q
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCspVkwC6eU
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNUseuHBYj
Jiro: “Tch!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcDkfL6ZfhT
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0KZoqAPWKx
Ida: “Got you.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgFjHVkPyc
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYhTLXtalc
Ida: “Ugh!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpLZ5yH1MAX
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbyUWIZ72gM
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcz0n1fnWDY
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbE0mclVVo
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rTQjm2e6M
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvFq4a52mc
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOTSy9xgXFA
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdM3J47rPxD
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnujQuX9vr
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnynbfufrav
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNpx2s0n64
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUdF6B6prG
Momo: “Yes.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrHpuZNUHSx
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSDpBWHXUW
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWqHzi1SppC
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8LzcKFtsy
Momo: “Checkmate.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tgZ9yDMJq
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwnPKPgzSu
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZv9RFwhw4Z
Ida: “What?!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO0nfLV7YY
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.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXK6xMAi6b
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUIs9qrNlKo
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8PKRkrw46
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniWPh8NUN6
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82h3M3lyvx
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2UPpxUDFM
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC49zbyAOQC
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Y9DjWIlOp
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLvr8VzpQZP
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxIbhOIXy8i
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ytVbrvvqg
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPB92zRnAj
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEf9aX7606
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuvb0L1xrbL
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3DFS2dBT8
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGakBInDpTT
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYNwYjEhg6
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUoCaGBzS1P
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHEVglcCIcD
Jiro: “Thanks.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBG3O1yFmNd
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzscstLr3ys
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡauxCzKGYXA
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56HiCLrBEY
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpvKhgmOjkJ
Sero: “Sorry.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3BtoeJnbLj
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRogBFCAVx0
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJICL1evxw
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr9aBdQoS2
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn7m6fn6bqW
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZQJ65X0SdU
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRzWVy3Gia
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA455tRG9hA
He could feel it; it was time.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKliI3su1sh
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMMqoNbJ1I
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPfPrp0Xiu
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbf3HJGuzGK
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGxE0ckkHcQ
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwF8ExNRUa
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3KvucOpFH
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY20vko8XsB
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4qBQY7thXQ
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvFyOgGwpS
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGzAmyWg4h4
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcj0rzjUYSM
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOpExpqmhJG
So close, yet so far.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtM8YPegJr6
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2jw9drUE5
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjDfz0dMQJ
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjBkIn5uFz
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡECHpdTA56H
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyzW9OULp7
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDI8P2J3bHf
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84zs0IYrFd
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.”
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw92HyXFNIW
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.
150Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNoMCRVlhn
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
