The battle had begun, and already Momo felt the pressure. It was alleviated somewhat by the special rule given to their group.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4YgStZshhS
They didn’t have to capture all four opponents to win; just capturing Aizawa was enough. But that didn’t improve their chances much.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7cWioLYHa
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmaq5IJbSQ
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbkRPvHYHL
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnVBFQBSgFE
Momo: “What the-”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzdAj3FP92
Mirio: “Heya.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBX1SNVKx5
Instantly, the trio turn toward the smiling boy. Kiri was the first to move and destroy the wall. But the man was gone.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfENKtONkOP
Kiri: “Where-”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pTq10mgPk
Mirio: “I suppose I should start with the long-range one, eh!?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl724yMcl6x
Suddenly, the boy appeared behind Todoroki. Momo and Kiri turn to help their partner, but-
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe5yZaZoeGc
Kiri: “My eyes!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlekdaP2GxU
Momo: “W-Why are you naked!!?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3OR8DY9lq
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGticmr0g5v
Instantly, he knew what was going on.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1UKy5WBAg
Todoroki: “Aizawa, he’s-!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4VGnry4qw
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0L8l1tn6ve
Momo: “Todoroki!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuyVlD7iUn
Kiri and Momo attempt to help but-
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGNHXETCQMd
Aizawa: “Don’t lose focus.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVyOVPhfUa5
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ42LEi1vZic
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TMXadavlQ
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…
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2fUgy4QTX
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.’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7K9STpRdB
Momo: “K-Kiri, are you alright?!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrf8gpUP1a7
In response, Kiri punches away the rubble on top of her and narrows her eyes at Mirio.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwpCbNnqiR6
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.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZnLOUXTYPc
The three students widen their eyes as they look to Mirio, who managed to recover his pants at least.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSyR96HI5E9
Mirio: “Come on, you’re making me blush, sensei.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeJFEucgjU
Kiri: “Aiming for number 1?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOiF2AXqSHm
Mirio: “Of course!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9sMfgBJ6kP
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…
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ702WFGOBh2
Kiri: “Threat.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdWWwo0p0kc
Exploding out of the rubble, Kiri attempted to go for game with a headshot. But her fist and body simply passed through his body.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4M7yFEl1i
Mirio: “Straight to the face, huh?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOHpnxMIYyv
The next instant, Mirio and everything around him was consumed by a large glacier.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmG9oY1v7zx
Todoroki: “Forget it, our attacks won’t work. We have to run!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMX6bpYD3Qc
Kiri: “Tch.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnT4phQ3d0u
Mirio: “Good call!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpYaRJpNvU
Again, Mirio appeared behind Todoroki, ready to deliver another knockout punch. But this time, Kiri was fast enough to block it… somewhat.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJOjjvMoNB
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5FI9q4ABk
Aizawa: “After them, I’ll be there shortly.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCm1uS7BbEN
Mirio: “Right!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRrazmv8WY
And just like that, Mirio started running in the direction of the runaways.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGtr1S9ZwwU
Momo: “If you leave, then I’ll get out of this one way or the other.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1qAGYIA3T
Aizawa: “Did you forget there are other villains around?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItMbohFpLE
After saying that, Nejire appeared on the scene, floating over the battlefield like an angel.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhYus23NkuU
Nejire: “Reporting for duty!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabg20BgWco
Aizawa: “Keep an eye on this one. Without her, the other two won’t be too much of a problem.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGgWmBBLgsa
He says while using some eye drops.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrGAsgfWWx
Nejire: “Roger!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzvAuHgN8Q
With that, Aizawa jumped away, building to building, toward the runaways.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoECmcIMKJ
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.’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh1xf3OW0U
The girl looks up at Nejire, who immediately locks eyes with her.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip4nSRqOog
Nejire: “I’m glad I get to guard you; now I get to ask all about your quirk!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ObTEZ5aTm
Momo: ‘She really is like Izuku. If so, then this could be my chance… ’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8vPeEJs0c
Momo: “I would be happy to explain, but can you explain how Togata’s quirk works first?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqglZo49DdE
Nejire: “Of course! His quirk is so cool, and he worked sooooo hard to master it.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQ8Qf5mkPp
Momo: ‘That was easy… ’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2rpmHRAZgJ
Nejire: “His quirk is called Permeation. It allows him to phase through everything, and he can choose which body parts to become phasy.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSliDb9syQd
Momo: “I see… but that doesn’t explain how he can seemingly teleport.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y5SxLdaib
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?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡClXYGkw1mr
Momo: “I-It is. But I’m sure it has some drawbacks.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr2mIsnzArc
The girl with the ever-present smile then frowns.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjT6Q6WvoYf
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.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx4n8DlHbUH
Momo: “T-That’s-”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MFrgon1NY
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!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVSt0HQdER
Momo: “H-He really did… ”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD1Ev6vnYZ1
Before Momo could think of the implications of such a quirk, Nejire clapped her hands.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMHIC8VO4v
Nejire: “Now! It’s time for you to explain your quirk; I have so many questions!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh364YSUlqs
Momo sighed and prepared to explain what she could.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqBpbIb2bg
Momo: ‘I hope you two can use this information to your advantage.’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHUupBwFt8
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqA1OWDXll6
Todoroki: “Sounds like a counter to you.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAiHidoQo9
Kiri: “Nh.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjo6gWNNx8
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn2NGv4YmmP
Sadly, this only makes their situation even worse.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbNuKmKDQ9
Mirio counters Kiri nearly perfectly, while Aizawa can easily deal with Todoroki.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNSdyd9Kx5t
Kiri: “Need Udders.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxlKabS88QT
Todoroki: ‘That’s her nickname?’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYa9pk9Ysx0
Shaking away that thought, Todoroki nods at the idea.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvV37OackMC
Todoroki: “That’s the only way we can win.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uJpiwsSo3
Kiri: “Nh. But first… ”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRShkEwV1D
Kiri is still carrying Todoroki, something he doesn’t seem to mind, while running from Aizawa and Mirio.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyYL1qF5AqT
Thankfully, they can’t keep up with her. She could even run straight for the gate, but…
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3v8jPr39c
Kiri: ‘Can’t leave Udders, not heroic.’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9shwFgSFPc
So they will have to face them eventually. But how?
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsCMFARHQx
Todoroki: “With your quirk, can you control my ice if you’re hit with it? Like with Kanto’s lightning?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdF9ueTdI4I
Kiri: “If flash frozen, no. But can control it otherwise. Idea?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tG8cB4Mvq
Todoroki: “I think. We just need to make it so Togata can’t come out of the ground safely.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlgbNO1HbI
Kiri: “Nh. If he is out of the way, I can handle Master Ninja.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrdxHIysZA
Todoroki: “How? He’ll erase your quirk.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFrK0Gdl8E
Kiri: “… I’ll be fine.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOSfV6PHB4
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbEzozghfC
With the plan somewhat set and time running out, Kiri turns around.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzOhuzSj2a
Kiri: “Go.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzkKizfKog
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6YFuspmsn
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIVIZ9lf5iL
Mirio: “Nice try but-”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWIV9eVPLtM
This, however, Kiri saw coming and already was throwing a punch at Todoroki’s back, just when Mirio would appear.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimKyfn8J7V
Mirio: ‘She predicted that I would appear here?!’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJR5aKMUM8h
Still, this wasn’t a problem. Quickly phasing away, Mirio fell back underground.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOK8xRbszn
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTPEEY0zPH5
Either way, popping back up a few paces backward should-
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4BFvnf2IGG
Mirio: “Cold!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukEAYp7yco
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcb1vCQKY0
As for Kiri and Todoroki, two things happened.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZAj8Im4MH
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7YSJTsQCHk
Mirio: “These two are great! I have to catch up!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdHo75GtW9l
Phasing underground and popping back to a safer area, Mirio retrieved his pants and followed Kiri.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGi0744q83Q
Mirio: “I know Nejire can handle it.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBVS05maaY
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡldGHVmeWpl
Nejire: “Wow, your quirk is as amazing as I thought and such a strange mutation. Super strength from creation? Quirk sure are strange.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVVFl57i23f
Momo: “Yeah… ”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCfq6rPGR6T
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.’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalUyWRgAQM
Looking down at the caltrops and then at Nejire, the girl calculates her chances.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ67LJ0PY3q
Nejire: “Don’t think about it. I’ve got my eye on you. I’ll destroy any drones you try to make too.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCbim18dkV
Momo: “Tch.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaO1QAonNoW
There are many ways to get out of this, but none can keep Momo unscathed and fully clothed.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsijV8pQ3E
Momo: ‘I’m turning out to be the most useless one one the team. If only I didn’t get captured so quickly… ’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7aIKaatlW
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LegUklcXP
But she knows it won’t be that easy to escape.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs8COQwzixB
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3NsfyxFHqw
Nejire: “Whoa! Those aren’t real bullets righ-”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNY65jEX30S
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulUbvw9eH5
Todoroki: “Yaoyorozu, do you have a-”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUHZKZkC6N
When he turned around to talk, he was met with the sight of Momo opening the front of her costume to produce several items.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrGoTcbJXD6
She isn’t turned in his direction, so he hasn’t seen anything, but he still feels the need to turn around.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tswZnqx2a
Todoroki: “Plan?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOP8t0bY1Mn
Momo: “Keep them off of me while I make some drones to save-”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyb1db3JREh
Kiri: “No!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4A00XjMNb
The two of them hear the girl yell from their earpiece.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMApS7PP8r8
Kiri: “Escape. Master Ninja on the way. Stuck with Naked Man.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37WLP8yCt9
Momo: ‘These nicknames, I swear…’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7P5dtqzq0
As she thinks that, she hears Todoroki fire off another powerful blast of fire that forces Nejire back behind the glacier.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uvs8s1HU5
Momo: “Kiri, you sent Todoroki to save me. I won’t leave you behind either.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMO6EI7prXU
Kiri: “Not enough time.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qx46wcMtI
Momo: “That’s where your wrong. I have a plan; it’s crazy, but it may work.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIF5Gis73W
Kiri: “… The best kind.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQpbp6OR7K1
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTpMGpaYhu
She says that, but Kiri is unable to get away from Mirio right now. Whatever plan Momo has, she better hurry up.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmzN7WLPT9
Again, Kiri predicts Mirio and tries to counter. But he just phases through everything.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYEc33CjiK
Mirio: “Blinding touch: Eye Poke!!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4akdAWKn7
Kiri: “Ugh.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡASTwUAPYPW
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwY6aQEeMLP
Mirio: “Wow! You really are tough for a first year.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLytjpy5arS
Kiri: “Cheap.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6C9pFOx99
She says while rubbing her eyes.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyvFnK5nMPM
Mirio: “Hey, I am trying to play the villain here.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmmo1J8v7J
Kiri tries to escape once more, but again Mirio predicts her movement and appears in front of her.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtEJUxefs2
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZf4qZjkHMP
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!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZtUcULrt7m
Kiri: ‘Poor villain laugh.’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMf2ISxtve
But it’s not like he is wrong. The trio is cornered. But…
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAs1AY2yUgM
Kiri: “I trust Momo’s plan.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbnUiqDCGV
Mirio: “Right, I heard you talking to her on the earpiece. Excellent idea to have those on hand from the start!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyq1lFYIqr
Kiri: “Nh. Good foresight, that’s why-”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl60vsmzBJP
As she says that, several drones appear behind her, emerging from the skyline.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJe3f55DX2f
Kiri: “She’s a good partner.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdJQfyPn3f
The drones unleash everything they have on the area around Kiri, preventing Mirio from getting close.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zMhvJaBvi
Mirio: “Nice try. But I can just phase through and just unphase my hand to hit you.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ1rReDlGZ
Kiri: “Yes, but I won’t move this time.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsDCziqmovJ
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdJAAPNVy0
Mirio: “Heh, nice!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAd9ivyhYxh
It was then that one of the drones stopped firing and dropped a bulky package over Kiri’s head.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAMP57h8aAA
Seeing this, Kiri jumps up and catches it.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3m4fKJrBY
Momo: “It’s a jetpack, Kiri. Wear it and get over here!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIAj4utikRE
Kiri smiles, equips the devices before falling back to the ground, and presses the obvious red button.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSluQsBmTr
Kiri: “W-Whoa… ”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Ykcyy5J1l
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVx6ZkRvTE
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJF6GPnpXb
With him gone, the drones stop firing and follow Kiri to the warzone.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtthd3fDYL
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FUocxXUO6
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYANgW7505
Various rubber guns, barricades, cannons, flash grenades, bombs, and drones.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2BTtoDhpdL
And if he erases her quirk, Todoroki will fortify their position with ice or fire at Nejire.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbo8eqeZ5b6
Aizawa: ‘A living armory indeed.’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOhzSNPZpv
But this was only delaying the inevitable. Even if Kiri came back, Mirio wouldn’t be far behind, and that would spell the end.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZcqhwHtJD5
If not that, then the time limit, which was quickly reaching zero.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTUuYi5wxg
Aizawa: ‘What will you do now?’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuWCygUREkC
He thinks while avoiding gunfire while destroying drones and edging closer to their position.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbpApffs7U
Nejire: “Wow, her quirk is crazy! And fun! I haven’t had to really move like this in a while.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSqzT2Q8Gm
The fun came from having to fly around dodging gunfire while destroying as many drones as possible.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLYAWUf9e5d
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUcxcOA8p2
However, the teacher-student duo was slowly breaking through their defenses. That was until Kiri came in.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNspfP5kDWY
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWwXAiFmzU
It didn’t take long for Kiri to arrive on the scene, but she didn’t know what to do to help.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TVQSlxFVb
Momo: “Kiri, draw Aizawa closer to us. I’ll open a weakness in our defenses, then…”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzjqeSv9b6H
Kiri nodded along with the rest of the plan. They would have to be quick, but it could work.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZ5kRvtL9F
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66S6cy52Ov
Kicking off the air under her feet, she hurls the two makeshift weapons at her two targets.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2e4LSQXTUW
Making sure to do so at the right time and angle.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYkuxEc94j
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJo9oimnlee
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHY3Er5K9ye
But she was already gone, probably punching the air above her to quickly return to the ground.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddSKQ4yAi3
Momo: “Kiri! You threw it too hard!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9jgky2Py3G
Aizawa turns around to see that the spear had blown a hole right through Momo’s defenses. Heck, even her weapon caches were destroyed.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuz3owmSNib
Aizawa: “Huge demerits for lack of teamwork. Hado!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVXRGf2zLc
Nejire: “Got it!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqS21odyvN
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtliPN1uYAt
Momo: “Tch!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMQ4cnmYT36
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWc8b0GjmSo
But due to the rapidly approaching teacher, his aim seemed to be off, and he missed.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzlKVWkFBV
Aizawa: “Losing your cool?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayOtL2r0OX
Momo: “Run! We need to find cover! He can’t erase what he can’t see!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEd7fthRI1
The two abandoned their position and started running. But Aizawa was much too fast.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS6fafleJ6
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58EM41pPRD
She quickly turned around and fired. The cloth surrounded Aizawa in the air.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi4iQjHsPth
Aizawa: ‘Trying to trip me up?’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMXpEp4s5O
Momo: “Now, Todoroki! Shoot heat along the ground!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdZKMJIB4aF
The boy attempted to do so, but Aizawa saw the play and negated his quirk in time.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsCaeMV6EZW
Aizawa: “Nitinol alloy? Should have used a flash grenade first.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZn1LNKeIk0
Momo: “Didn’t need to.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJb50fepAg
She says while creating a large fire-resistant shield for her and Todoroki.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EyWyQCX6h
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ9ObLsTad7
Kiri: “Not only ninja.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6hfRLxCfh
She managed to sneak past Nejire, making it in time to accomplish the last step of the plan.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe69aW2PEXt
Aizawa: “Heh…”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAuF230m1f
Aizawa: ‘So she used the same technique she used against Kanto, absorbing Todoroki’s flame. Even if it meant burning her hand.’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCib38S0j7C
The nitinol alloy snapped back to its original state thanks to the heat, trapping Aizawa, causing him to fall to the ground.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3mEv3UxxLg
However, the test wasn’t done yet.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjVmwydRRt
Momo: “Quick, we have to handcuff him.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJys4m4d6S2
She drops the shield and rushes the downed teacher alongside her teammates but-
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOp6gcASiy
Nejire: “Sensei!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX5BHfHlCG
Mirio: “Surprise!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZUoZhwBo0H
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwzpPkOD94A
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5IEDXjepz
Momo: ‘I can do this! One For All, 5%!’
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBTjyHGYQ5D
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwVYRQ1lkO
Mirio: “Huh?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxnakABJo2
Free to do what she needed, she took the handcuffs and quickly captured Aizawa for good this time.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIhj66MGLy
Recovery Girl: “Group 4 has passed!! With only a few seconds to spare too.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXMTDGsbCb
They had done it.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQwlhhGsYdt
Momo: “YES!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLFTwUvfwcf
Todoroki took a breath and leaned against the nearby wall.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUR7XgtyAl8
Mirio: “Well done! The principal wasn’t kidding; you three are probably the strongest group here.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3S7sHrodGz
Nejire: “Maybe even the next big three!?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWlEoqP1GIU
Momo: “I don’t know, if your third member didn’t stay at the gate, we wouldn’t have won.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4lduxYdhN
She says while falling to the ground from mental and physical exhaustion.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJPOJrTCVV
Nejire: “Yeah, shame Tamaki couldn’t show off. But I guess he would have been overkill. His quirk is even stronger than ours.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTnUcuwvQu
Momo: “R-Really? Then I’m glad I gave up on going to the gate.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvPcufDAsL
Kiri: “Nh.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfR2GugFPaQ
Momo turns to Kiri, who is holding her burnt arm and shaking off the rubble.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhMsXzoTObc
Momo: “Are you alright?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwKqMxnmRF
Kiri: “Will heal.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzPqy2YntJ
Aizawa: “You should still go to Recovery Girl.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRku3m2eD1S
Kiri: “Alright.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIQ7fKiKxa
Mirio: “Now that the test is over, there is one thing I’m confused about, sensei.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0wjQ4knd4
Aizawa: “What is it?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoYtHPNvfgJ
Mirio: “Why did you run from Tae? Couldn’t you have erased her quirk and defeated her like usual?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWBgv8UuW9V
Kiri and Momo tensed from that line of questioning. Worse still, Todoroki was looking over in curiosity as well.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5DEnrlpgUh
Nejire: “Yeah, that was strange. It’s not like you.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUPLed1Bxw
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbOqwUJkYqZ
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.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8ApMBwNtA
So with that in mind, there’s no way he’ll expose her.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡudtKzxpm4z
Aizawa: “Kiri’s internship training made her a pain to deal with. I also wanted to further separate the three of them.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeAfp2D0LKl
Mirio: “Ah! That makes sense.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkVlLoRd0tl
Nejire: “Wow, who did you intern with?!”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOMDdrfjEK9
Kiri: “Super Master Ninja.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZqeNe5wAh
Momo: “She means Edgeshot.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVLcLiKQNc5
Nejire: “Oh!? That does explain how I didn’t see her going for sensei.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyJLomlUQ1
Aizawa: “Okay, that’s enough talking. It’s almost time for the next match.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7fFw235kti
He says while casually getting out of the nitinol alloy.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPZRF5nYm3F
Momo: “Huh?! Wait… how-”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPxZgq0vZn
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.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKqR5Jz9Vvw
Momo: “Oh… that is good.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP53um01KBz
Meanwhile, Kiri goes up to Mirio.
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Ox7kg2QgG
Mirio: “What is it?”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAiiKOK0MqX
Kiri: “Watch the next match closely; onii is the one who will become the number 1 hero.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLBMAzGrZM
Mirio: “Really? Then I’m looking forward to it. I’ve heard a lot about him.”
91Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgKUk0xL03R
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.
