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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAjsk0aSpBfx
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAcXmGy6Uc9v
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAQakYw50sPG
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAvqLtg1bPck
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAgHbw2HeQxG
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
212Please respect copyright.PENANABRigwdPRA7
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
212Please respect copyright.PENANASRWxCB0CQZ
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA59LfV16fvM
Momo: “Huh!!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANADH1nG1UnDN
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAelAHx7XUVK
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAr5AWutHAS5
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAjtP1GaUgHm
Momo: “Really?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9OFeAdNi9E
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAhhb5mr1b3b
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAAc9bhySxzj
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAuM2SpgMTM4
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAjdjZdNBcjj
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
212Please respect copyright.PENANAuX8XvCdako
The next second, they were off.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9B58OeEbFO
212Please respect copyright.PENANAZbhjjgWSMO
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAvtpTq399kb
Denki: “Sowru.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAMJpLdbnJzc
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAdDcwEgtjF3
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAiymCaSazO8
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAyHqmmhiSWk
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAB4K1j9Js6J
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAuLrLNIEUyO
Jiro: “Shoot!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAhvGKnYQknD
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAgn6pShAhcI
Denki: “Hvh?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAJCbx3baRx4
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAfVrAlNU72P
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAABjnmoMv8s
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAHIh3Mqm3F3
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAC5vaqxik9Z
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
212Please respect copyright.PENANADexu8AEWIU
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
212Please respect copyright.PENANAVnmVPdcvSt
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAKRWlhW8CZz
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAtChmyUtChP
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
212Please respect copyright.PENANASSzdUNBGjF
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAyWFRqtz9L5
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAv0Rael6215
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAnzlMcPwmoX
Jiro: “Tch!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAMbMDUmAc6J
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAhJ3ig7SggH
Ida: “Got you.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAvHo41DfUWM
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
212Please respect copyright.PENANA5RFwwRZ6Xu
Ida: “Ugh!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAPDiHoyIGH9
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2AGPwH4JrF
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAsrMzuLbN1y
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANArBhfxu4A52
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAO1hrS9vc0Y
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAwzXtA2w0vy
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAf81oEMjCBz
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAgzj3QzvsL8
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAZVFXbBIiYc
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
212Please respect copyright.PENANAcSLh7yFJ6b
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAl8tCaWyP3O
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9em14n2TqE
Momo: “Yes.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAk2ZdASODHn
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAGZfEBDWVQQ
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAUX9q0Ksil1
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAVT4yJ93zgo
Momo: “Checkmate.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAYkL67fWDoR
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
212Please respect copyright.PENANARB4m443FkS
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAnONGNZb64Y
Ida: “What?!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAOJ2ricaRKe
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.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAhk7ATotnjb
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAKMZwt1QzyG
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAbkHqKSFbb1
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA6STAy5awtq
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
212Please respect copyright.PENANAkjTCBVW8G2
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
212Please respect copyright.PENANACDsQqjWtar
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
212Please respect copyright.PENANAqHaG2LjyAm
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
212Please respect copyright.PENANATBJQ7ILxVT
212Please respect copyright.PENANAySJtWb2alS
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
212Please respect copyright.PENANATxg3wu3iBk
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA8b2SmNfgrN
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
212Please respect copyright.PENANAtKZ85M9Hqp
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
212Please respect copyright.PENANABnyoIkWMVZ
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA7FuosIA6iL
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA8ncz97MnZK
212Please respect copyright.PENANARXcWoctbO5
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANANJlzducIuo
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAbTZ58vtnKq
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAiJn5GTurO2
Jiro: “Thanks.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAyEUhVai4Eu
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAIC8zOAYzju
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAsTI5yyjB3M
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAmPeONjPNp7
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAbN9QbMIQBM
Sero: “Sorry.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAjwJums6Ysi
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAPj0jBuhG74
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAMBmZ6M6vjJ
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAkQDio3xseT
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAfa22MuknIF
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANACI2T377Fsp
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAylTzJLmAUa
212Please respect copyright.PENANAwqtjAUl4Wg
He could feel it; it was time.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA2MIqTGzaEN
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAFwf5NVurSi
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAnEpDciw5yK
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAiDUA7lJPoT
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAFc3YZ5bD3q
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAtXemfqXlc6
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA57NPVvIY2M
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9GxlfJ8R4B
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANABxCFkL3HvL
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
212Please respect copyright.PENANADXBrur1MoF
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA345OkeJ4Rz
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAkaZOjCW3KY
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
212Please respect copyright.PENANASDSUpqw1Mn
So close, yet so far.
212Please respect copyright.PENANA9md5g8GKhh
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANASDwerVDlrY
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAE0IrjBxlxt
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAtBLexNwcnH
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANA8zGajqbExU
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

Jiro: “Oh no… ”
212Please respect copyright.PENANANWtXfMJhjG
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAbFkVGCGCTo
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAH5mXG2cXEj
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAN84CSdx6jB
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAahMLan27Mr
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAvRKnRaTpdK
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAUJ78P0wykR
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.”
212Please respect copyright.PENANAptwbskGUj1
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.
212Please respect copyright.PENANAyFKDhbt4YM
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
