As soon as the exam started, the two sound experts unleashed their attacks. Like two cowboys in the distant past, the guns were drawn and fired.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY2QRtCTeUH
Present Mic: “START!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAOtMvPgp8
Jiro: “Counter Balance!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWvGV0wKJQ
Gigantic tornadoes colored yellow and white meet in the middle of the arena before slowly dissipating.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwYVstWHQos
Present Mic: “Heh, you call that noise?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuiEkNJxGP
Again, the teacher screamed out words, and Jiro countered. But she could only do so while standing still. Even still, the battlefield was filled with a cacophony of screeching tones.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡleYYppdR8j
Jiro: “GO!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2P7aoSNWw9
Ida blasted off towards the gate and Present Mic, all while making sure not to trip on the uneven ground. As for Kaminari, he stayed by Jiro, protecting her just in case Power Loader decided to attack.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4NWcOuScK
Which didn’t take him long. Several holes exploded into existence in front of Ida, forcing him to quickly sidestep or jump over. But his new leg-
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQLs9H8wTv
Ida: “On no!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC9eEIAP0G7
Still not quite used to such tight maneuvering, Ida trips into one of the holes. Worse, Power Loader used that chance to further trap Ida underground.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCUEJRNBO7
Jiro: “Ida!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Jc6ipB1jv
Present Mic: “FOCUS!!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIlkOgio1j
That momentary lapse was enough for Present Mic to overpower Jiro’s sound and force everyone to cover their ears.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYRYm3KFViG
Jiro: “AHGH! Counter… Balance!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn3UeAEFGX1
Once again focusing, the battlefield lowers in volume, enough for some planning.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9Kodzt5wm
Jiro: “Go help, Ida.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rUjUgMBfA
Denki: “What about you?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF51LOHWt7j
Jiro: “Don’t worry about me. We won’t win without Ida distracting Present Mic at least. If not that, he can escape and we win.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJ2sz3ioSK
Kaminari clicks his teeth before nodding. But it will take time to go and save Ida from the pit he is trapped in. Plenty of time for Power Loader to dig past him and go after Jiro.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjOT5YEfJe
But she knew that and had a plan. It will just mean a prolonged exposure to Present Mic. But if her hunch is correct, then she won’t have to deal with it for long.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2uX9LvvAym
The hunch was tested when she felt the ground under her feet. Jumping back, she managed to avoid Power Loader, but not Present Mic.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfXfGy7YbiT
Present Mic: “CHECKMATE!!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVQ1OgkiYI7
Denki covers his ears and grits his teeth.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqQ2OLocmy
Denki: ‘It’s so much worse this close!!’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKdZsUPPe3S
He looks back at Jiro to see the girl weathering the sonic storm. But she’s not doing so perfectly.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgHxCA2O8m
She bites her tongue as blood drips from her ears. There wasn’t much time; she plugs her earphone jack into the new wrist device created by Melissa and punches the ground.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqRYvHUEsW
Jiro: ‘Heartbeat Distortion!’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnay5y2XUk
The ground in front of her breaks apart, revealing Power Loader in his small mech, covering his ears from the sound Jiro unleashed. Better, Present Mic was forced to pause his attack so he doesn’t harm his partner.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhm805gaBwO
Free, Denki continues running while Jiro uses her other wrist device and takes aim.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3gFHVezD7
Jiro: “Jackpot.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyR8dpiuvs6
Closing one eye, she fires her sonic blaster at the vulnerable Power Loader. Unable to dodge something moving at the speed of sound, Power Loader was hit and started to shake violently. Even a teacher would have trouble withstanding that weapon.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYx3zKVpVF
But the effects aren’t permanent; she has to risk capturing him. So Jiro gets up and rushes the teacher while hoping Kaminari and Ida can handle Present-
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiqXFPmk7K
Present Mic: “WORTHY SACRIFICE!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoquUXul5fG
Jiro: “AGH!!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmbUzhplFg
Jiro: ‘He’s willing to risk Power Loader?! Darn it!’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjHOwCA7t8
Jiro: “Counter Balance!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jneMfXhuz
Great, she’s stuck, and it won’t take long for Power Loader to recover. When he does, they lose. She looks to Denk,i who is torn between helping her and saving Ida.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2xPwQb8A43
If he can get to Ida in time, then Ida can deal with Present Mic. But if he doesn’t, it’s over.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjL8ZnXTaCT
If he can get to Power Loader in time, he could capture him and free Ida at his leisure. But if he doesn’t, it’s over.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQxB1HZq3W
So the end of this exam all depends on Denki Kaminari.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiaup0Ie3L9
Jiro: ‘Come on, Kaminari, I know you will make the right choice.’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7dYzYUnMh
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3kqFcL3xcw
Denki: ‘Seriously!?’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgBR6Eonxwn
The boy didn’t think he would be the deciding factor of the exam! How could he?
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDhMl7haeDc
Jiro was awesome and made great strides with her quirk. She is also a counter to Present Mic.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZ9PsdaI7j
Ida is the fastest, even with the new leg, and was the other key to victory.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4CHZnHvHIM
But both are out, and it’s up to Denki of all people to save one of them.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiztrRWc2J4
Denki: ‘Ugh, if only I mastered what Midoriya suggested during the training!’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTabnEiPQmN
During the training period, Midoriya suggested some insane uses for his quirk. Many of which went over the boy’s head. But one of them could help here.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNHlZPNFe0
But can he do it? And if he can, does he have to go stupid for it?
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4j5cHFwrK
He’s so close to Ida, but it would take too long to dig him out with his hands.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdD983dL0U
He could run back to Jiro, but Power Loader may recover before he arrives.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJpOdvIMKY
Denki: ‘Darn it!’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGIX2GY7Zh
There is no other choice. He may not fully understand how this side of his quirk works, but it’s the only way to get Ida out in time. So the boy turns away from Jiro and runs with all he has to Ida.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXekQZGasfo
When he arrived, he got on his knees and pressed the ground trapping Ida waist-down in dirt.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eo4IQA47U
Ida: “I’m sorry, Kaminari. If only I didn’t fall into this trap! You should’ve helped Jiro. She is more important right now.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKJlNlyasu
Denki: “No way, dude. You’re our key to victory; don’t sell yourself short. Besides… you may want to yell at me after this.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBAhcU74jRw
Ida: “H-Huh?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡACDwBeaHT5
Denki: “I’m about to do something stupid, if it even works.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhNzZJwTbAN
The boy lightly glowed a golden hue as he used all of his focus to control the electricity that usually discharges. Sweat was already pooling on his brow, but he wasn’t done.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtWkxSJ3Wx
Here comes the hard part.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrozCiJC9My
Now he must direct his quirk around his arms as a loop, creating a magnetic field. The metal in Ida’s armor and leg shivered but didn’t move. The connection didn’t stick around for long enough.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNFoPO0uXGA
He needed more power!
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0hNOJ9JuO
Denki: “C’mon, just stick already!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PF2xzGaeA
Golden light exploded outwards as the boy unleashed everything he had, even risking going dumb. The result was an explosion of dirt and a straining Ida flying into the sky. The metal in his armor and leg strained from the sudden push upward.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcHaIsq84q2
They will need repair after this, but for now, they still need to work.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rJXuU5Sdx
Seeing Denki stumble around in a daze, Ida knew the baton was given to him. He hardened his resolve while righting his position towards the gate.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtKGGP5Ip1
Ida: “Thank you, Kaminari; I won’t let your efforts be in vain.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBaFo3Vgw1T
The time had come to fully utilize the new leg with his quirk. Sensing the activation of his quirk, the nerve connected to the new leg blazed with blue life.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0YmmFwY3I
Ida: “Recipro Burst!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchJCPbP3G5
Present Mic was watching the whole thing and was ready to give Jiro a small break in favor of dealing with Ida. But the boy’s speed was unreal, especially for a teacher slowed by the weights.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUtRj61AXv
Ida was right in his face by the time Present Mic was able to say-
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjmEo1U7iEi
Present Mic: “SLOW DOWN!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDktXgf8dS7
Ida was pushed back to the ground by the focused sound wave. But he didn’t let it stop him. There were only seconds left in his Recipro Burst; he had to make the most of it and prove his worth.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhU782GqtSw
So he ignored the pain, recovered from the tumble, and blasted forth. Thanks to those before him, present and unaccounted for, Ida was able to blitz Present Mic and pass through the gate.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCLTC1B1tz
With a light chime, the message over the gate changed to read, Good Job!!
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bX0LmeCUL
Recovery Girl: “Group 3 has passed!!”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1i7M34bjs
Hearing that, Ida collapsed onto the ground. Ears bleeding, head pounding, and new leg smoking.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDDnx6zpmG
A worthy price to pass the exam and prove that Ida still belongs.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Xx1E8Cgif
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLU674AyEJb
Power Loader: “Well done, you passed by the skin of your teeth.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUUYg4TQs6
He says to the now captured Jiro. Just as Ida was made airborne, Power Loader recovered and quickly grabbed Jiro with his mech’s arms. If Denki didn’t make the right choice, they would have surely lost.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CbHAD0ssD
Jiro: “I knew Kaminari would make the right choice.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIvVIE5DG9
Power Loader: “Yeah, but if this was a real battle, would he have made the right choice? After all, what would happen to you two now if this was real?”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUzoJLwrOK
Jiro: “… We wouldn’t have made it.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZW3S2hvxp
Power Loader: “Right. You may have passed, but your score is lower than the previous team. But don’t let that get you down; it just means you all have more room to grow.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu8glbrlRaY
Jiro: “Right… thank you.”
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3xYbKZJIBy
With that said, he put the girl down and went to help Denki and Ida. One needs rest, and the other needs a repairman.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgASRRAR87D
As for Jiro, she releases a long breath of air, letting go of the tension her body has been holding in since the start.
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhp3Kdi8Hmm
Jiro: ‘Too close. But we did pass. I hope Momo can do the same.’
105Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQstzmUtuM
Three down, two left to go. The next one being possibly the most anticipated due to the amount of chaos it promises.
