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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAGOUjgYMzGm
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA34X2p7frPQ
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
154Please respect copyright.PENANA4ZzFlzp3Ai
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAZfJoV1DG3T
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAT1bZAEvFhM
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAEnwRZQyt1m
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
154Please respect copyright.PENANABXjIptiutT
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAVKGKABGbl4
Momo: “Huh!!”
154Please respect copyright.PENANANrRdGSif6B
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAsSweXfR8QS
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAb0LM2ln9aI
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANABZ0U0omMva
Momo: “Really?”
154Please respect copyright.PENANA32WGVJ1qBq
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAN2N6Ss8e4X
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANACcmtXa9h0O
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAEqEIW8u0pL
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAXHu47PVqjP
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
154Please respect copyright.PENANAzCk5uhsPcX
The next second, they were off.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAwz4XVlh81K
154Please respect copyright.PENANAcrLeC4XoAp
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANARwVGnxwhTs
Denki: “Sowru.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAeWhuTPN47v
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAznDqcPLOwC
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAq1brcnXN4n
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAZsiyGRgP0Y
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA3YxeuQFZyw
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAO1t7mtYPGt
Jiro: “Shoot!”
154Please respect copyright.PENANA3ldqvUkQgc
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA0KxZyXGfvE
Denki: “Hvh?”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAY7Tc1TKb1e
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAikjxtKnc6e
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAUSqIpZdi76
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAW2ZJT8WlSa
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANA44NrLebvOp
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
154Please respect copyright.PENANADhu3STRAaI
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
154Please respect copyright.PENANAparcuwcLcj
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAj92miuqhrf
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
154Please respect copyright.PENANApXGDdS9v0v
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAgfFaYVH3VW
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
154Please respect copyright.PENANA3ZYpHrr0w5
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANA2oyRSwsKwj
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA5U25c4tAlj
Jiro: “Tch!”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAOTGkyYL3ky
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAZHaZ2x5o80
Ida: “Got you.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANA00P1j86xWy
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
154Please respect copyright.PENANACpSGTfUMXO
Ida: “Ugh!”
154Please respect copyright.PENANARBIY6nhhxd
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAjPrPSmQ34a
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAF79Pg82lUc
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
154Please respect copyright.PENANApdeW47thjE
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAtNUJ4t1uVa
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAnuUQjvgP7O
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAQDY0x0hJSZ
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAm8nNS0B9PC
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAQwiS6wO9VU
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
154Please respect copyright.PENANAqVaGVbglz7
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA8LSQ86ELTT
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAI0yYU8tIkX
Momo: “Yes.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANALdkgkb2u0i
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAfjs6BtRm1I
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
154Please respect copyright.PENANASQnAEVH5zP
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAD544DGhdZk
Momo: “Checkmate.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAXo9XWvPIjN
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAEFy5piw6nQ
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA8FgtDv3zsH
Ida: “What?!”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAsc6dCMToB1
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.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANA6gkZRTYZ6T
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAiggKkaBgME
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAbFyrmDYkpf
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA9jWMejOYfT
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
154Please respect copyright.PENANAF2IJOXgwvR
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAfxdTv1bDHi
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
154Please respect copyright.PENANANeFkXOViTA
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAYNWI3lCaQy
154Please respect copyright.PENANAAte3wfAuQd
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAsQ6cZx1sLp
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAZ6MhncHY9A
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
154Please respect copyright.PENANAHuzBKSWxvs
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAOtIodDNFwL
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAfv3UVwwyXd
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAPVEn2C79yE
154Please respect copyright.PENANAACZMZ2oT5P
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAFGkV9NpXc5
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA2wDeGfh1kG
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAi49uiu8tRx
Jiro: “Thanks.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAsSla6yQjsl
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZmLxdFVmM
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAc2mBZj4Pv3
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAcY4oo2GBg3
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAo1WC3Ktx3v
Sero: “Sorry.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAa1OQgCi7Ap
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAU5Uq77f3gn
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANADVwvWkaUad
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAPr0LaF6Nbl
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAZpLy0bKrSt
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAApXFyRYBiN
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAjgdRS79u4d
154Please respect copyright.PENANAyZTExNMOHQ
He could feel it; it was time.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAa5VFoDFLG8
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
154Please respect copyright.PENANATb9sWp8Soq
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAnkrJHvtwgO
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANARAowDRGmpG
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAxQadqHD5Xo
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAInIC35jaqR
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAZJlq7N38cD
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANA1HLJLi8tDZ
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAmhCMQy7DiS
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAthIu41bwOm
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAs22Mf0K0Rq
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAytsjIcxB0V
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAoz2ll19CcT
So close, yet so far.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAo3Uh3bgJ8H
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAhfY9ALu6Tb
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAFNBkUim63U
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAvNT99XtRue
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAlO4ahHonY6
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

154Please respect copyright.PENANAa86ZndauUk
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
154Please respect copyright.PENANADZ0Lr767uB
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAcoiIimConZ
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAlCr4EIvc6O
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANAPKfdGWifl4
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
154Please respect copyright.PENANA14NCJryg34
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
154Please respect copyright.PENANApEN5EpMe0z
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.”
154Please respect copyright.PENANA5rcS6NTgkJ
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.
154Please respect copyright.PENANAJX1FEZog6o
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
