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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANArDukcWsl0P
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAcIE4ZdI5OD
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAe1dLIGbYAX
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAFzFnnu75Lf
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAV4hwJ0iSuY
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
419Please respect copyright.PENANADIWqBjxQsJ
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
419Please respect copyright.PENANAvp15iWFnFm
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAaE6DWPMjDe
Momo: “Huh!!”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAzfm2z0eiji
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
419Please respect copyright.PENANA7TO1VzjooO
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAuoARARNPVX
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAXlMAciMyxZ
Momo: “Really?”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAuZymjvLs0Q
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAJCIghaPjpf
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAweRZdmVTwf
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAqeRIRMXlaV
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAoxHgANHitr
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
419Please respect copyright.PENANA11sHUZ6U3N
The next second, they were off.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAhjBB384oGG
419Please respect copyright.PENANAlCl0b3u2CW
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANA0hIZl2048v
Denki: “Sowru.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1MXPHxj7i
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAnm3RXLdKw8
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAJzLO0QbR3E
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAfb8nqsiaz1
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAermXBvEw66
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAbfTL3j787D
Jiro: “Shoot!”
419Please respect copyright.PENANArcfljJwx1l
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANA4IVN7BC1TE
Denki: “Hvh?”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAzvt7b2PQCH
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAPcHLPNVl7m
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAmb1DPW78kL
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAz3Td3T8pk3
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANA7r1y6D5Oq7
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
419Please respect copyright.PENANANWVM8gEahy
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
419Please respect copyright.PENANAvjHrc03dbr
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
419Please respect copyright.PENANA9v2FgD2F9v
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAXaUZV2q8Lx
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAkYiUkPwUmg
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAIb1zlnFQfp
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAongIaqLAJt
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAnW2V0FdT3B
Jiro: “Tch!”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAiC3wwZwxzE
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAweXzGUcRv8
Ida: “Got you.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAEBqQeiHbHM
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
419Please respect copyright.PENANAsrj62L4117
Ida: “Ugh!”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAKG9CLCGblo
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAUrfkjs8w1H
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAu1ELGNboMC
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAio0P1bu26T
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAFX3SHTF9At
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANA204jUZNV2K
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAgbl4p6xp8k
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAuhuvvGcgqy
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAZVjbwyAQNj
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
419Please respect copyright.PENANAHmoYMBJSMC
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAT9QusrVWJn
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAL1j2LOnc27
Momo: “Yes.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAIT3QKBAvif
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAyU5Z8UHzrC
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAG5SokYpeNs
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
419Please respect copyright.PENANADXz4Hi0Eei
Momo: “Checkmate.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAV75BkpWFZn
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
419Please respect copyright.PENANA1EqNCdQbAJ
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
419Please respect copyright.PENANA5TNL6WVbqW
Ida: “What?!”
419Please respect copyright.PENANADS5gJw9GBi
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.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAAzBNFwk5vB
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAYeMKI4gIyM
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAnT2M8HX2Il
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
419Please respect copyright.PENANA40IKTBgpY8
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
419Please respect copyright.PENANAQMiOOCrlgj
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
419Please respect copyright.PENANACnl9VXd6ip
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
419Please respect copyright.PENANAoKsliPIS8O
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAwy46lDF4BS
419Please respect copyright.PENANAFFw1v1DOgt
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAbJDFlFhaq3
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAfybr0Tnkfw
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
419Please respect copyright.PENANAsKK04Eulr5
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAY6QmkHqBua
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANANdoXlPTdF9
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
419Please respect copyright.PENANA9bn6cGEeP0
419Please respect copyright.PENANAT9HNfnBmR5
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANArdKnL5rAym
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
419Please respect copyright.PENANACXNUJtGf4s
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAH4Y3bmamG3
Jiro: “Thanks.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAu8lssyChZZ
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAIpt4nOUUYV
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAiAAhsm2zmd
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAANOjafshSv
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAktjUdztnif
Sero: “Sorry.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAiboHMLN7Xi
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANARzHtQ81GSV
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAeSalkgRWLQ
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAoO8TqRRFjA
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAUAfUQQLfPB
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAIDALCuR0ew
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANArd7gYBfPjo
419Please respect copyright.PENANAqx18h6miSu
He could feel it; it was time.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAKTWoETwNZG
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAsIDAc6VTet
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAnRh8WlVUum
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANASA2xk07sB5
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAkOVTHTcVo0
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAJBac29zbSX
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAeETii19F6C
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAAOoFPp2vrh
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAl6Alnhp0Z2
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAlyOqNNhVrM
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAsfHKgWqErQ
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAbr0FuRcfIR
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAhtqxaja9yb
So close, yet so far.
419Please respect copyright.PENANADJwDyVCWfe
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAI3WfXCoETT
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
419Please respect copyright.PENANABvKZ8ZNvfa
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAiteqCrQOdE
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAxJR7QYjaIe
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAdDG8tuIBxL

Jiro: “Oh no… ”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAqGccmF8np1
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
419Please respect copyright.PENANADEzdoW7w3a
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANADPJKSN36wv
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAyGoUrN8YOI
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAHDGVCqqfRg
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAClRhZNQbh9
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAtyn2HjHoIN
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.”
419Please respect copyright.PENANAqts5gonQkr
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.
419Please respect copyright.PENANAJ5tlQw5FFw
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
