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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA0F62kxXsmA
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAAqYM5UIMXA
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAArDiXIYdRQ
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
152Please respect copyright.PENANArJXmz2wd8W
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsKS4g6kmSw
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAhHC76g7wl2
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
152Please respect copyright.PENANA279PdHB4Va
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFiv8SDId0b
Momo: “Huh!!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAHQ8k36zemo
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
152Please respect copyright.PENANARJSwxuwlDI
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjDtk3UIzhR
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAuMoD0rhdnD
Momo: “Really?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAZXz9n4rzIY
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAGtf7M7FNSN
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAjOdQ0BDP4X
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxFYbANTMhD
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAIZDJevPT5K
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
152Please respect copyright.PENANAD6YWfPEfQ4
The next second, they were off.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAAOi1OSaqCk
152Please respect copyright.PENANAY41xiN2CVS
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAaJnFkggJs7
Denki: “Sowru.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFCB7Swkb7u
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYDi2SVBau9
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAWWKnrhJ9KS
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANARxjP0YIY69
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA95Qn7HArsk
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAhBR0327gSx
Jiro: “Shoot!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANANeKjA4QFkj
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3JEfTp1msi
Denki: “Hvh?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANADwAMFDo48Z
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAaOGoDx12jR
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAzwd4ygHOHw
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA2ZBXdxXY2y
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAu9wV7UH4cB
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAYPffEZOFB5
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
152Please respect copyright.PENANA2snwfNuWi6
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAIwIlybKth7
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7IqeRYqbsP
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAP5KQeZOsJc
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAC1EIH73L8f
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAElLAKz5FVQ
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAoK8liJMVb9
Jiro: “Tch!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4qlEypsRtK
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9yndOVMbgl
Ida: “Got you.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAGHfYuuadX6
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
152Please respect copyright.PENANAgvYsQktMFd
Ida: “Ugh!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAX9bk1ja4kU
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA051oYzFqvj
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7jJBqIQrZI
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9Jjl9MjOkc
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAlymo3D5wDj
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAgtCprzXwrp
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA9UsHgOhtwb
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAykTcDieyuW
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAChKTMLniHp
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxr0mLjxwFc
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwJot77Gon6
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAnRvVzigyKE
Momo: “Yes.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAtEu0fYQfUx
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMOC59hIOg9
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA2yoA5aYqFV
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAI4JYkpaplG
Momo: “Checkmate.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3DIWHkfNWX
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAcYSGc4GlYL
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAIOjc7uoRRl
Ida: “What?!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAFb41Rm85ak
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.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAIS2syLSOSF
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANATlRQudlLgM
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAHCYTIghLQ4
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
152Please respect copyright.PENANARH6cZXP2rq
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
152Please respect copyright.PENANAw2r14a7Clx
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA5SoFOamEGs
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
152Please respect copyright.PENANAOozkjPpwCH
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAoOdWXSeMoi
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQOrzQHJ4X1
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
152Please respect copyright.PENANANIb416XNRD
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMxEYS012QA
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
152Please respect copyright.PENANA3jvpzgXsMq
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAdpPWcIwx12
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAPZowJvC9Bx
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAN18PWgyyK8
152Please respect copyright.PENANAMABELXfqLL
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqZFRKQzLDM
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAqYTJsxYgQU
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAC9oKCLX5ox
Jiro: “Thanks.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAtRGz7oOw9a
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
152Please respect copyright.PENANADt1C3Do5aF
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAwnjU6EU0K8
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA08IPhOcNAZ
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAxaNgAVgc33
Sero: “Sorry.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAgmL7FRCPKP
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAIKgclMffPm
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAy1BGAnlk28
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAY6BiXCtCVf
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAds5KWJf7GR
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAQYcDdxJ0YP
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfk3Iq6vqvn
152Please respect copyright.PENANAos4v9BTSYD
He could feel it; it was time.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA6HqglFtVab
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
152Please respect copyright.PENANATMHWyMYDWY
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANApuIG4R78ZW
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAyubFShRHLJ
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAsoeB2HPfnA
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAApLGWYbs7A
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAtW40WcnNhX
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA8E9IPoF4iK
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANArmOPr2XEJ8
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAkqRFZCFlOC
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAGWPVQIHITE
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA1i1z7TPJ12
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAgoSEETZQtG
So close, yet so far.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAb2cx5KqGMR
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA7lnGtxrVHB
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAosPil0BaHu
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
152Please respect copyright.PENANA4UqAvCNFVd
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA1WKo4LWPbx
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

Jiro: “Oh no… ”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAeLoDjUZd3S
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANA8N5Rc5Tmf7
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAunHj6JsdlQ
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAcLMglKoReM
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAtBuAiXA8NQ
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAhRDzwZZZr0
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAfjGKdgVqEz
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.”
152Please respect copyright.PENANAODdMI0pUry
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.
152Please respect copyright.PENANAyQYYyTVLJR
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
