As soon as the exam started, the two sound experts unleashed their attacks. Like two cowboys in the distant past, the guns were drawn and fired.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF0HDKu5HLO
Present Mic: “START!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2LaioTCeT
Jiro: “Counter Balance!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ArPaetnkc
Gigantic tornadoes colored yellow and white meet in the middle of the arena before slowly dissipating.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFAMI9ilHZ
Present Mic: “Heh, you call that noise?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnLuSKOI33L
Again, the teacher screamed out words, and Jiro countered. But she could only do so while standing still. Even still, the battlefield was filled with a cacophony of screeching tones.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0iYOeXJsN
Jiro: “GO!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE41dIV18Bd
Ida blasted off towards the gate and Present Mic, all while making sure not to trip on the uneven ground. As for Kaminari, he stayed by Jiro, protecting her just in case Power Loader decided to attack.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx1YY7LT14g
Which didn’t take him long. Several holes exploded into existence in front of Ida, forcing him to quickly sidestep or jump over. But his new leg-
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFHr3YqwzW
Ida: “On no!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6yzL1HYzT
Still not quite used to such tight maneuvering, Ida trips into one of the holes. Worse, Power Loader used that chance to further trap Ida underground.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarf1qZfVzx
Jiro: “Ida!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNOsvTsRKs
Present Mic: “FOCUS!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpK8esoGF0
That momentary lapse was enough for Present Mic to overpower Jiro’s sound and force everyone to cover their ears.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiuUNaxg7d
Jiro: “AHGH! Counter… Balance!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrHKFsHczu
Once again focusing, the battlefield lowers in volume, enough for some planning.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4JL117t7C
Jiro: “Go help, Ida.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgCDBgmWv3
Denki: “What about you?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoyNOE9ixfR
Jiro: “Don’t worry about me. We won’t win without Ida distracting Present Mic at least. If not that, he can escape and we win.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDrvLts5vl
Kaminari clicks his teeth before nodding. But it will take time to go and save Ida from the pit he is trapped in. Plenty of time for Power Loader to dig past him and go after Jiro.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj08wbZtntL
But she knew that and had a plan. It will just mean a prolonged exposure to Present Mic. But if her hunch is correct, then she won’t have to deal with it for long.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEotBE9JcnG
The hunch was tested when she felt the ground under her feet. Jumping back, she managed to avoid Power Loader, but not Present Mic.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8R56cdk8pK
Present Mic: “CHECKMATE!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdlkuJ0Tkmc
Denki covers his ears and grits his teeth.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡswh4ohS5CR
Denki: ‘It’s so much worse this close!!’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMlPKadvo9k
He looks back at Jiro to see the girl weathering the sonic storm. But she’s not doing so perfectly.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5BaFB2DcW
She bites her tongue as blood drips from her ears. There wasn’t much time; she plugs her earphone jack into the new wrist device created by Melissa and punches the ground.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZp2V1tZyk
Jiro: ‘Heartbeat Distortion!’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpIUgNYxXJF
The ground in front of her breaks apart, revealing Power Loader in his small mech, covering his ears from the sound Jiro unleashed. Better, Present Mic was forced to pause his attack so he doesn’t harm his partner.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQfyqcybyP
Free, Denki continues running while Jiro uses her other wrist device and takes aim.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTtowmma8y
Jiro: “Jackpot.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4va6rQlSo
Closing one eye, she fires her sonic blaster at the vulnerable Power Loader. Unable to dodge something moving at the speed of sound, Power Loader was hit and started to shake violently. Even a teacher would have trouble withstanding that weapon.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTbAiBlTKA3
But the effects aren’t permanent; she has to risk capturing him. So Jiro gets up and rushes the teacher while hoping Kaminari and Ida can handle Present-
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXyLGTVSlF
Present Mic: “WORTHY SACRIFICE!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxI7PgpNl0b
Jiro: “AGH!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibXqESsLGp
Jiro: ‘He’s willing to risk Power Loader?! Darn it!’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5J6N0dCorv
Jiro: “Counter Balance!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwh6BAgoaHn
Great, she’s stuck, and it won’t take long for Power Loader to recover. When he does, they lose. She looks to Denk,i who is torn between helping her and saving Ida.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOu1MwYOXh
If he can get to Ida in time, then Ida can deal with Present Mic. But if he doesn’t, it’s over.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm05NfCd3QB
If he can get to Power Loader in time, he could capture him and free Ida at his leisure. But if he doesn’t, it’s over.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6g56gqaqFO
So the end of this exam all depends on Denki Kaminari.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN1moJHU4J
Jiro: ‘Come on, Kaminari, I know you will make the right choice.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7EvugEWMQ
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu54lnE51SH
Denki: ‘Seriously!?’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnSWaWcNoO
The boy didn’t think he would be the deciding factor of the exam! How could he?
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyXzgVRHS5
Jiro was awesome and made great strides with her quirk. She is also a counter to Present Mic.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr9O2BTZEw
Ida is the fastest, even with the new leg, and was the other key to victory.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjeVcY8xFX
But both are out, and it’s up to Denki of all people to save one of them.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB7ZEkNsEW
Denki: ‘Ugh, if only I mastered what Midoriya suggested during the training!’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6VyhCcTNT
During the training period, Midoriya suggested some insane uses for his quirk. Many of which went over the boy’s head. But one of them could help here.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtehBVPl2h
But can he do it? And if he can, does he have to go stupid for it?
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHTIpr2ZAX
He’s so close to Ida, but it would take too long to dig him out with his hands.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGP4JD8m24
He could run back to Jiro, but Power Loader may recover before he arrives.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnr90ZICm05
Denki: ‘Darn it!’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ880osqgdNk
There is no other choice. He may not fully understand how this side of his quirk works, but it’s the only way to get Ida out in time. So the boy turns away from Jiro and runs with all he has to Ida.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJZEbPCmJQ
When he arrived, he got on his knees and pressed the ground trapping Ida waist-down in dirt.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJeWw6bflCr
Ida: “I’m sorry, Kaminari. If only I didn’t fall into this trap! You should’ve helped Jiro. She is more important right now.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡes8SfsrQQn
Denki: “No way, dude. You’re our key to victory; don’t sell yourself short. Besides… you may want to yell at me after this.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyzTe6h4o2
Ida: “H-Huh?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkldQwazuL2
Denki: “I’m about to do something stupid, if it even works.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUhjqbSJNva
The boy lightly glowed a golden hue as he used all of his focus to control the electricity that usually discharges. Sweat was already pooling on his brow, but he wasn’t done.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXPEjz3ANuj
Here comes the hard part.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8XGPR1kjXx
Now he must direct his quirk around his arms as a loop, creating a magnetic field. The metal in Ida’s armor and leg shivered but didn’t move. The connection didn’t stick around for long enough.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh3DYwyfrnk
He needed more power!
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYkrpCbZCQY
Denki: “C’mon, just stick already!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDRqnbe9Pc
Golden light exploded outwards as the boy unleashed everything he had, even risking going dumb. The result was an explosion of dirt and a straining Ida flying into the sky. The metal in his armor and leg strained from the sudden push upward.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vRbyTVG2l
They will need repair after this, but for now, they still need to work.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblpBRwUA0H
Seeing Denki stumble around in a daze, Ida knew the baton was given to him. He hardened his resolve while righting his position towards the gate.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBSCeDtUgFd
Ida: “Thank you, Kaminari; I won’t let your efforts be in vain.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zfX8Kardi
The time had come to fully utilize the new leg with his quirk. Sensing the activation of his quirk, the nerve connected to the new leg blazed with blue life.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Moad2eWHq
Ida: “Recipro Burst!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHZ0FPwEIX
Present Mic was watching the whole thing and was ready to give Jiro a small break in favor of dealing with Ida. But the boy’s speed was unreal, especially for a teacher slowed by the weights.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPIMgNHiMN
Ida was right in his face by the time Present Mic was able to say-
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOxhKwiM3Z
Present Mic: “SLOW DOWN!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡerKDPow0e8
Ida was pushed back to the ground by the focused sound wave. But he didn’t let it stop him. There were only seconds left in his Recipro Burst; he had to make the most of it and prove his worth.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCyWbtnRqZ
So he ignored the pain, recovered from the tumble, and blasted forth. Thanks to those before him, present and unaccounted for, Ida was able to blitz Present Mic and pass through the gate.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnjRaQTv3x0
With a light chime, the message over the gate changed to read, Good Job!!
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7yrSz4g9J
Recovery Girl: “Group 3 has passed!!”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ01KwzEQ6Qu
Hearing that, Ida collapsed onto the ground. Ears bleeding, head pounding, and new leg smoking.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNCQ9V9yWCC
A worthy price to pass the exam and prove that Ida still belongs.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2qmOXLLPR
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNe6XrolMXp
Power Loader: “Well done, you passed by the skin of your teeth.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCrl7uTtmF
He says to the now captured Jiro. Just as Ida was made airborne, Power Loader recovered and quickly grabbed Jiro with his mech’s arms. If Denki didn’t make the right choice, they would have surely lost.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWw0YaYALNf
Jiro: “I knew Kaminari would make the right choice.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiH0bZy5i5
Power Loader: “Yeah, but if this was a real battle, would he have made the right choice? After all, what would happen to you two now if this was real?”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jt9pxOEJD
Jiro: “… We wouldn’t have made it.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYO1W0UO9YJ
Power Loader: “Right. You may have passed, but your score is lower than the previous team. But don’t let that get you down; it just means you all have more room to grow.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmACM1gMLbM
Jiro: “Right… thank you.”
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCA02If9sPY
With that said, he put the girl down and went to help Denki and Ida. One needs rest, and the other needs a repairman.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5n6X5YDtI4
As for Jiro, she releases a long breath of air, letting go of the tension her body has been holding in since the start.
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIxPxzYYfKO
Jiro: ‘Too close. But we did pass. I hope Momo can do the same.’
114Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZFcxtrriaN
Three down, two left to go. The next one being possibly the most anticipated due to the amount of chaos it promises.
