The battle had begun, and already Momo felt the pressure. It was alleviated somewhat by the special rule given to their group.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjqfMI8agv
They didn’t have to capture all four opponents to win; just capturing Aizawa was enough. But that didn’t improve their chances much.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXD1fQv6Chg
Similar to Tokoyami’s team, their initial tactic is to sneak toward the gate. But also, like the previous team, one member wasn’t as stealthy as the rest. But he did try.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy8dVPvvcZz
Not like they won’t be caught eventually. To make sure they know when Aizawa is around, Momo and Todoroki kept their quirks active. Momo by continually editing a Matryoshka doll and Todoroki by freezing and unfreezing his arm.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAYp8qc3hF
So far, nothing seemed to be amiss. Which made it all the more jarring to pass what seemed to be a face in a wall.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiWppQPIn4
Momo: “What the-”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ugEGMMuQ8
Mirio: “Heya.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKVFJzrgbMp
Instantly, the trio turn toward the smiling boy. Kiri was the first to move and destroy the wall. But the man was gone.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzRpFLGlRs
Kiri: “Where-”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaqCwF1SpAl
Mirio: “I suppose I should start with the long-range one, eh!?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKvRChyIe7
Suddenly, the boy appeared behind Todoroki. Momo and Kiri turn to help their partner, but-
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrme8Z8pAiV
Kiri: “My eyes!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjioIwbzdgJ
Momo: “W-Why are you naked!!?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLi0eBHpda
Todoroki didn’t care and turned fast enough to use a swiping gust of fire. But not only did no fire come out, but his arm went straight through Mirio.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84PQjJkyFo
Instantly, he knew what was going on.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26ZEkcoJEl
Todoroki: “Aizawa, he’s-!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIm1CyLNisq
But before he can fully warn his teammates, a titanic blow was emptied into his gut. Even Todoroki nearly lost his lunch from such an attack.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRwxjBTveB
Momo: “Todoroki!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQk6xz9OdQZ
Kiri and Momo attempt to help but-
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK3BSsrP1O
Aizawa: “Don’t lose focus.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvet7SAUAM
Momo was captured and strung up to the electric wires above. As for Kiri, she was blindsided by Mirio, who seemed to teleport from below, sending her crashing into a nearby building.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlsFjeuliqg
Not even ten minutes have passed, and already all three are nearly defeated. Worse, this was all done by just two of the four opponents.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsAkJ3fsIIM
She can’t let it end here. Momo struggles against her bindings, but no extra strength comes to her. And even if she did escape, Aizawa threw down several dozen caltrops below her. Those hitting her back is one thing, her face and eyes though…
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzSM4egKor
Momo: ‘A-Alright. Think! Aizawa wants my quirk neutralized, and Todoroki is still struggling to get up. So Kiri is the only one that can turn the tide right now.’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHc7R5oFQ2T
Momo: “K-Kiri, are you alright?!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjZq0pttK3
In response, Kiri punches away the rubble on top of her and narrows her eyes at Mirio.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12nvy22UH2
Aizawa: “This is a great opportunity for you, Tae. So get yourself roughed up a bit and learn from it! Mirio is, as far as I know, the closest man to becoming the number 1 hero, and that includes the pros.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiidBaigWfG
The three students widen their eyes as they look to Mirio, who managed to recover his pants at least.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYljbz78Vy
Mirio: “Come on, you’re making me blush, sensei.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9kV0qQNpo
Kiri: “Aiming for number 1?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ8d01c2mpK
Mirio: “Of course!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBs2ZtsCajG
The girl can see it, the similar smiles and the sense of overwhelming power. Not quite on All Might’s level, but Kiri can tell that Mirio is well on his way to reaching that goal. Her onii-chan’s goal…
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6z0WRHI5yl
Kiri: “Threat.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRJaD8qxhZy
Exploding out of the rubble, Kiri attempted to go for game with a headshot. But her fist and body simply passed through his body.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH4havkTOGS
Mirio: “Straight to the face, huh?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzf5kmHEKeJ
The next instant, Mirio and everything around him was consumed by a large glacier.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0WVZX6Qpw
Todoroki: “Forget it, our attacks won’t work. We have to run!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbJKiCj7wU
Kiri: “Tch.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwA7rOFQdz
Mirio: “Good call!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyaaa1LOdT
Again, Mirio appeared behind Todoroki, ready to deliver another knockout punch. But this time, Kiri was fast enough to block it… somewhat.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyCnh1nfTw
They were blasted back by the power of the attack. But this was fine. Kiri could take the hit and roll with the punch. Grabbing Todoroki, Kiri jumped away from the battlefield.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkv1sgrMgLB
Aizawa: “After them, I’ll be there shortly.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXgC40cCrBL
Mirio: “Right!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdhKOeIz9D
And just like that, Mirio started running in the direction of the runaways.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKScNcz1Rsf
Momo: “If you leave, then I’ll get out of this one way or the other.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrobDfnezcU
Aizawa: “Did you forget there are other villains around?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zY5DjQaA1
After saying that, Nejire appeared on the scene, floating over the battlefield like an angel.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGfDPdSmMo
Nejire: “Reporting for duty!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHHKjzYyO5
Aizawa: “Keep an eye on this one. Without her, the other two won’t be too much of a problem.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡga5rcRnOdx
He says while using some eye drops.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPlAGPww1OL
Nejire: “Roger!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NtTdBmu6l
With that, Aizawa jumped away, building to building, toward the runaways.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuqqMsO8PL
Momo: ‘So that means Amajiki is guarding the gate. If he is anything like Togata… no… I-I can’t lose hope. My friends are still fighting.’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8cNx9guVec
The girl looks up at Nejire, who immediately locks eyes with her.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV0PpAVDEd8
Nejire: “I’m glad I get to guard you; now I get to ask all about your quirk!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs8KVehh4Z
Momo: ‘She really is like Izuku. If so, then this could be my chance… ’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkSqwM9tor
Momo: “I would be happy to explain, but can you explain how Togata’s quirk works first?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVSSP8T6fEh
Nejire: “Of course! His quirk is so cool, and he worked sooooo hard to master it.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡONDCRf9JXq
Momo: ‘That was easy… ’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOCD7k95sC9
Nejire: “His quirk is called Permeation. It allows him to phase through everything, and he can choose which body parts to become phasy.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0TBbb1LO76
Momo: “I see… but that doesn’t explain how he can seemingly teleport.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHwqAdi24p
Nejire: “That’s because when he releases his quirk while underground, he’s shoots up at incredible speeds! By adjusting the direction and angle of his body, he can control where he’s shot out to! Isn’t that amazing?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡycfH3rfWE8
Momo: “I-It is. But I’m sure it has some drawbacks.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQifbFe7jdE
The girl with the ever-present smile then frowns.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3eubG9wvr8
Nejire: “Yeah. When I said he phases through everything, I meant it. No air, no sound, and no light. The only thing he can feel when he fully activates his quirk is the sensation of falling.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3Q5887En5
Momo: “T-That’s-”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYGr7wIXnM
Nejire: “Yeah, but that’s why Mirio is amazing! He managed to turn that quirk into something powerful through the power of prediction. He worked really hard!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB48vgOc4G3
Momo: “H-He really did… ”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI09eJeSx7N
Before Momo could think of the implications of such a quirk, Nejire clapped her hands.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoPqq9aG10
Nejire: “Now! It’s time for you to explain your quirk; I have so many questions!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3zB9nOKSC
Momo sighed and prepared to explain what she could.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiesVAdkOLX
Momo: ‘I hope you two can use this information to your advantage.’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHyIp4n0OjL
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1hgRjCW3Wd
Todoroki: “Sounds like a counter to you.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf3O9zX4FER
Kiri: “Nh.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlUq2Z2sgR5
They heard the whole thing. Momo had the foresight to give them earpieces so the team can communicate even when separated. It also allows them to hear what’s happening on the other side of the earpiece.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZSoHIaMJ6
Sadly, this only makes their situation even worse.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnuy3QO5wT
Mirio counters Kiri nearly perfectly, while Aizawa can easily deal with Todoroki.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeOmzGtNFL
Kiri: “Need Udders.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaQfcT4nr54
Todoroki: ‘That’s her nickname?’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXkvV06eXPZ
Shaking away that thought, Todoroki nods at the idea.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlxUrPeGCA
Todoroki: “That’s the only way we can win.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZamAxzKh84
Kiri: “Nh. But first… ”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFSYl9kZMv
Kiri is still carrying Todoroki, something he doesn’t seem to mind, while running from Aizawa and Mirio.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡud7R73wgO2
Thankfully, they can’t keep up with her. She could even run straight for the gate, but…
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYMPYHvRwD
Kiri: ‘Can’t leave Udders, not heroic.’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjrDtS5Vev
So they will have to face them eventually. But how?
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTKULfnb1i8
Todoroki: “With your quirk, can you control my ice if you’re hit with it? Like with Kanto’s lightning?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDlD9NIb6y
Kiri: “If flash frozen, no. But can control it otherwise. Idea?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60lQTna9GY
Todoroki: “I think. We just need to make it so Togata can’t come out of the ground safely.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCa70r3EKR
Kiri: “Nh. If he is out of the way, I can handle Master Ninja.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtcvGJEyKI
Todoroki: “How? He’ll erase your quirk.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡba6MF7NwBd
Kiri: “… I’ll be fine.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3hY6QSkAn
After all, it shouldn’t work on her. It’s like trying to erase Dark Shadow’s ability to stretch. Aizawa would need to use his quirk on Izuku to affect her.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8UKSb4e2dK
With the plan somewhat set and time running out, Kiri turns around.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7IOsDRoQp
Kiri: “Go.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNyqupTnCb7
Once the two came close, but not close enough for Aizawa to erase Todoroki’s quirk, the boy unleashed a large glacier to the front.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBGXSvm0oe
The teacher was forced to stop and cut off part of his capturing weapon that was frozen. But this won’t stop Mirio. Aiming for Todoroki, the boy phased under the glacier and popped up behind him.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwxIAAsIRh
Mirio: “Nice try but-”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4jNtVyr8Y
This, however, Kiri saw coming and already was throwing a punch at Todoroki’s back, just when Mirio would appear.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBpy6xm4t3
Mirio: ‘She predicted that I would appear here?!’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9XitWBEc5H
Still, this wasn’t a problem. Quickly phasing away, Mirio fell back underground.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQdBB7DI7e
Relying on prediction, there are only two ways for the above situation to play out. One, Kiri knocks Todoroki out, due to Mirio getting out of the way in time. Two, she managed to change direction in time, knocking her off balance.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmWaPdq1pR
Either way, popping back up a few paces backward should-
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtwHPG1fKg
Mirio: “Cold!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuc8rdIkNCp
As soon as Mirio came back up, he was nearly fully submerged in another glacier. Not submerged enough to pop out of the glacier, but enough for his skin to burn.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR93NsU2dxN
As for Kiri and Todoroki, two things happened.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7jH7fXmux9
One, the other glacier was melted fast enough to cause steam to flood the area. Two, Kiri was chasing Aizawa while Todoroki was on his way back to Momo.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1MWFBypp6
Mirio: “These two are great! I have to catch up!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0YF7qpY6ei
Phasing underground and popping back to a safer area, Mirio retrieved his pants and followed Kiri.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8GCf0238A8
Mirio: “I know Nejire can handle it.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhkWuN2Z1Tm
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI70ISzSUI9
Nejire: “Wow, your quirk is as amazing as I thought and such a strange mutation. Super strength from creation? Quirk sure are strange.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6EgSW7ZL9
Momo: “Yeah… ”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5h9jqEvA3S
Momo: ‘Time is running out! I know Kiri could make it to the gate herself if she tried, so the fact we haven’t won means she wants to save me. Sweet, but at this rate we’ll fail.’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObNdnEuIAc
Looking down at the caltrops and then at Nejire, the girl calculates her chances.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjYXPry4Oqq
Nejire: “Don’t think about it. I’ve got my eye on you. I’ll destroy any drones you try to make too.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyiftHwQfC
Momo: “Tch.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDGhsrOzr8
There are many ways to get out of this, but none can keep Momo unscathed and fully clothed.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f9v1WgudN
Momo: ‘I’m turning out to be the most useless one one the team. If only I didn’t get captured so quickly… ’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7CIynZVyHX
Her salvation came in the form of a torrent of flame, engulfing Nejire. Seeing her chance, Momo flexed OFA, escaping the binding just in time for an ice sheet to catch her fall.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7x55Xg7qnu
But she knows it won’t be that easy to escape.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQtJZELoBjA
Creating a shield, she blocks a golden spiral blast and then fires back with a rubber machine gun. Nejire flies away from the bullet storm, not knowing they’re rubber bullets.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN93p9BSJ9F
Nejire: “Whoa! Those aren’t real bullets righ-”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ncxisqNJR
Another glacier explodes into existence, nearly engulfing Nejire and giving Momo and Todoroki a breather. One he needs because the constant glaciers are starting to take their toll.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAafrV8QHfJ
Todoroki: “Yaoyorozu, do you have a-”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFJUloxzLx8
When he turned around to talk, he was met with the sight of Momo opening the front of her costume to produce several items.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XnEaHb2dJ
She isn’t turned in his direction, so he hasn’t seen anything, but he still feels the need to turn around.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnfakBD1sa
Todoroki: “Plan?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ajPjDGoSo
Momo: “Keep them off of me while I make some drones to save-”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJV2JIYnWTO
Kiri: “No!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr17PIdB7cH
The two of them hear the girl yell from their earpiece.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMIzuPlyqWX
Kiri: “Escape. Master Ninja on the way. Stuck with Naked Man.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZP9Yrj0Vnr
Momo: ‘These nicknames, I swear…’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyG9iB4OPk
As she thinks that, she hears Todoroki fire off another powerful blast of fire that forces Nejire back behind the glacier.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzGtqLvYPp0
Momo: “Kiri, you sent Todoroki to save me. I won’t leave you behind either.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzI2JVIwKW3
Kiri: “Not enough time.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPQoqxl0DhD
Momo: “That’s where your wrong. I have a plan; it’s crazy, but it may work.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53BF16tQ5M
Kiri: “… The best kind.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PVIQIRraL
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwMW9DTct2
She says that, but Kiri is unable to get away from Mirio right now. Whatever plan Momo has, she better hurry up.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bvnaCwzWG
Again, Kiri predicts Mirio and tries to counter. But he just phases through everything.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbc6E3oM4sk
Mirio: “Blinding touch: Eye Poke!!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40iuCTKD0b
Kiri: “Ugh.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZu5pkBganv
On the flip side, the damage Mirio does to Kiri is negligible. The blow he delivered to her stomach after the blinding barely pushed her back.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExHKfDuoA9
Mirio: “Wow! You really are tough for a first year.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTruroOyWx3
Kiri: “Cheap.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZbMairK5Bb
She says while rubbing her eyes.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBd5q1LodpG
Mirio: “Hey, I am trying to play the villain here.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QCyYxzsFh
Kiri tries to escape once more, but again Mirio predicts her movement and appears in front of her.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfRsYmWGV3
She blocks the straight punch to the face with a crossguard. In that instant of contact, she tries to stick to Mirio. But he is much too experienced for that, and so phases again, escaping her grasp.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO1csnufEl8
Mirio: “It’s been fun, but the test should be over. Aizawa asked me to keep you busy, and I have. Nejire and Aizawa should be able to easily take down your friends. Hahaha!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgY4FucUiQ7
Kiri: ‘Poor villain laugh.’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZWxOEBOeq
But it’s not like he is wrong. The trio is cornered. But…
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3ovx8G7bV
Kiri: “I trust Momo’s plan.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAalbW1UURX
Mirio: “Right, I heard you talking to her on the earpiece. Excellent idea to have those on hand from the start!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwt7JA4T1i
Kiri: “Nh. Good foresight, that’s why-”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhUlf2uWjU
As she says that, several drones appear behind her, emerging from the skyline.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpdDfAsAav
Kiri: “She’s a good partner.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmCTutojnp
The drones unleash everything they have on the area around Kiri, preventing Mirio from getting close.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoc1puouqq
Mirio: “Nice try. But I can just phase through and just unphase my hand to hit you.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvpktmOlTB
Kiri: “Yes, but I won’t move this time.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGVIM7UEdIO
She lowers her stance and once again removes the sensation of pain. No matter what, she won’t move from under this rain of bullet fire.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CVTiV430I
Mirio: “Heh, nice!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34hJDNm1IQ
It was then that one of the drones stopped firing and dropped a bulky package over Kiri’s head.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhxfHVLAgb
Seeing this, Kiri jumps up and catches it.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIs83NIbAqA
Momo: “It’s a jetpack, Kiri. Wear it and get over here!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUrvvnr6MDo
Kiri smiles, equips the devices before falling back to the ground, and presses the obvious red button.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknGkBqDJnO
Kiri: “W-Whoa… ”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2irUSQ7FT
It takes a moment for her to adjust, but she does do so. Seeing the large glacier and explosions in the distance, Kiri knows where to go.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡesLGFP6QmO
This doesn’t go unnoticed; Mirio decides to run to where she’s going and join the others. But it will take longer; he can’t fly after all.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCg2P43JLz
With him gone, the drones stop firing and follow Kiri to the warzone.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsRED7NoiC
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS1eLzv6yGa
This was why Aizawa wanted Momo out of the way first. He can erase her quirk but not what she creates. And she created a lot while he was gone.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2DhCGptJD
Various rubber guns, barricades, cannons, flash grenades, bombs, and drones.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFB3Y59eYu
And if he erases her quirk, Todoroki will fortify their position with ice or fire at Nejire.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5SQtlfuTq
Aizawa: ‘A living armory indeed.’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwAhxmN0iN
But this was only delaying the inevitable. Even if Kiri came back, Mirio wouldn’t be far behind, and that would spell the end.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8YOSAG56jJ
If not that, then the time limit, which was quickly reaching zero.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6uYNr5OYrR
Aizawa: ‘What will you do now?’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXoH6zCy2t
He thinks while avoiding gunfire while destroying drones and edging closer to their position.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TLpCGbyDC
Nejire: “Wow, her quirk is crazy! And fun! I haven’t had to really move like this in a while.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMAq4eVCSj
The fun came from having to fly around dodging gunfire while destroying as many drones as possible.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbkdqYEwDC
But the drones kept coming. Whenever Aizawa had to rest his eyes or switch her quirk to Todoroki, Momo made up to 3 more drones.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhsf1Bs119d
However, the teacher-student duo was slowly breaking through their defenses. That was until Kiri came in.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡORwjX1qTTk
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHRQz1ul3E
It didn’t take long for Kiri to arrive on the scene, but she didn’t know what to do to help.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0g5CCwfYRp
Momo: “Kiri, draw Aizawa closer to us. I’ll open a weakness in our defenses, then…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxrWxANDZY
Kiri nodded along with the rest of the plan. They would have to be quick, but it could work.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDrha9wBDN
The most interesting part of the plan, though, was this. Touching the straps of her jetpack, she used her quirk to destroy the entire thing and rebuild it into two short jagged metal spears.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpkqiki4Vma
Kicking off the air under her feet, she hurls the two makeshift weapons at her two targets.

Making sure to do so at the right time and angle.

Aizawa and Nejire sensed it in time, the fast-approaching spear. They dodged out of the way and looked behind them to find the culprit.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdeOlFIhSA
But she was already gone, probably punching the air above her to quickly return to the ground.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqIbaiMfG8w
Momo: “Kiri! You threw it too hard!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBVoZOzvAV
Aizawa turns around to see that the spear had blown a hole right through Momo’s defenses. Heck, even her weapon caches were destroyed.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQELCm2mO1Q
Aizawa: “Huge demerits for lack of teamwork. Hado!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5GPgxnWKEE
Nejire: “Got it!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6xaDLZGAK
She flies off to deal with the drones that accompanied Kiri while Aizawa capitalizes on the remaining students, scrambling to fix the damage Kiri caused.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWBL3CVjYT
Momo: “Tch!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU4ymL1vaj
The girl tries to use her quirk to make something else, but it is neutralized before she can. So instead, Todoroki used his quirk to attack Aizawa with a large gout of flame.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKKof4DFA8
But due to the rapidly approaching teacher, his aim seemed to be off, and he missed.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIOJKuU7Nw
Aizawa: “Losing your cool?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlRnLQjdva
Momo: “Run! We need to find cover! He can’t erase what he can’t see!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNuXiOmGCJs
The two abandoned their position and started running. But Aizawa was much too fast.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo4GymfOqUj
He quickly caught up to them around a corner. But this was a part of the plan. The first gun Momo made was designed to shoot out a large amount of what appears to be Aizawa’s capture weapon.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOVkf4W2WJ
She quickly turned around and fired. The cloth surrounded Aizawa in the air.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD93EmMPpWN
Aizawa: ‘Trying to trip me up?’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi5ffehj80y
Momo: “Now, Todoroki! Shoot heat along the ground!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmgdXI0RUes
The boy attempted to do so, but Aizawa saw the play and negated his quirk in time.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsHUZKNpjF
Aizawa: “Nitinol alloy? Should have used a flash grenade first.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYNljgJdQmv
Momo: “Didn’t need to.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPFRbEscVIG
She says while creating a large fire-resistant shield for her and Todoroki.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHbpXwxHaJ
Suddenly, a tornado of flame scorched the ground under Aizawa. But it didn’t come from Todoroki. The teacher turned to see Kiri with a burnt right arm.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6cCyWrGj1
Kiri: “Not only ninja.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFRPdAEzYQ
She managed to sneak past Nejire, making it in time to accomplish the last step of the plan.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8VE6KKq7vN
Aizawa: “Heh…”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQDnO2mns5
Aizawa: ‘So she used the same technique she used against Kanto, absorbing Todoroki’s flame. Even if it meant burning her hand.’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtT0h8NCg60
The nitinol alloy snapped back to its original state thanks to the heat, trapping Aizawa, causing him to fall to the ground.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOAh3BJ4jdH
However, the test wasn’t done yet.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1R2GEWu1er
Momo: “Quick, we have to handcuff him.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmHmeKXgSY
She drops the shield and rushes the downed teacher alongside her teammates but-
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3mFUc1QaB
Nejire: “Sensei!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUmS4JBTUZC
Mirio: “Surprise!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6M54iPt9M
The drones could only keep Nejire occupied for so long, and Mirio finally arrived. Again, he attempted to go for Kiri while Nejire fired her spiral energy at Momo.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7KIaTaaFK
Todoroki met the spiral with his own flame, while Kiri was knocked away from Mirio’s back attack that targeted her damaged arm. This left Momo as the only one free.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66zpdEGiKc
Momo: ‘I can do this! One For All, 5%!’
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGJrWm7zQ6R
Her body glows a faint red as she increases in speed, something Mirio didn’t expect. She hadn’t used this the entire exam. So when he shot out of the ground, Momo was a few paces ahead of where he thought.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwhmj2cigi
Mirio: “Huh?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdYlm3Ya11G
Free to do what she needed, she took the handcuffs and quickly captured Aizawa for good this time.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKprKVHh6i6
Recovery Girl: “Group 4 has passed!! With only a few seconds to spare too.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlctoipLtCD
They had done it.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbZPSalL98
Momo: “YES!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwcCHYmkfx
Todoroki took a breath and leaned against the nearby wall.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHFtZuvOBE
Mirio: “Well done! The principal wasn’t kidding; you three are probably the strongest group here.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmScu91ePHs
Nejire: “Maybe even the next big three!?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnx5wgSVhr
Momo: “I don’t know, if your third member didn’t stay at the gate, we wouldn’t have won.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZzh7xwmTkJ
She says while falling to the ground from mental and physical exhaustion.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbKexTQnpi
Nejire: “Yeah, shame Tamaki couldn’t show off. But I guess he would have been overkill. His quirk is even stronger than ours.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5N2iVOcZdE
Momo: “R-Really? Then I’m glad I gave up on going to the gate.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ipyuPrBm2
Kiri: “Nh.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaGSNNRcqg
Momo turns to Kiri, who is holding her burnt arm and shaking off the rubble.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1l8fWbXWYc
Momo: “Are you alright?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT1sCf0uNy
Kiri: “Will heal.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dMFSEDYeG
Aizawa: “You should still go to Recovery Girl.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3z20PaDsu
Kiri: “Alright.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39VdsmzMmm
Mirio: “Now that the test is over, there is one thing I’m confused about, sensei.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUg514F1aA
Aizawa: “What is it?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH0orY9fTjw
Mirio: “Why did you run from Tae? Couldn’t you have erased her quirk and defeated her like usual?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3iQi3lzj6L
Kiri and Momo tensed from that line of questioning. Worse still, Todoroki was looking over in curiosity as well.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7N8uqCKnSr
Nejire: “Yeah, that was strange. It’s not like you.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRKcpdvFMI
Aizawa looks over to Kiri and sighs. He knows her secret and actually had to deal with Valkyrie a few times in the past. With that in mind, he knew fighting her head-to-head wasn’t an option.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfig1ygmDqN
Part of the reason why he requested the Big Three. The other being Momo’s growth and Todoroki’s potential. Together they are a formidable force, as proven by the exam. Even if they didn’t pass, the fact Momo and Todoroki could hold Aizawa and Nejire off that long was impressive.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JKbhA3n9I
So with that in mind, there’s no way he’ll expose her.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡywqlPXSYZ7
Aizawa: “Kiri’s internship training made her a pain to deal with. I also wanted to further separate the three of them.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Qy0Sd4Fzp
Mirio: “Ah! That makes sense.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70uYQM46Wm
Nejire: “Wow, who did you intern with?!”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq89Eak6Uke
Kiri: “Super Master Ninja.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6fPCvLoQ0t
Momo: “She means Edgeshot.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZDXPO2f9E
Nejire: “Oh!? That does explain how I didn’t see her going for sensei.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlx23czACH4
Aizawa: “Okay, that’s enough talking. It’s almost time for the next match.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kefmUuZjD
He says while casually getting out of the nitinol alloy.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFH18Fyzhu
Momo: “Huh?! Wait… how-”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeXeyxKfiDB
Aizawa: “It took a while, don’t beat yourself up over it. I didn’t let you win if that is what you’re thinking.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVFUdTlHUL
Momo: “Oh… that is good.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBXBI2M2qme
Meanwhile, Kiri goes up to Mirio.
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx7k5R3KkwG
Mirio: “What is it?”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6qZ0YHL8as
Kiri: “Watch the next match closely; onii is the one who will become the number 1 hero.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡioSC9DYGf1
Mirio: “Really? Then I’m looking forward to it. I’ve heard a lot about him.”
115Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSpRwYfEmg7
And so the group went to fetch Tamaki, who was leaning his head against the gate, before finding a spot to watch the final match of the day.
