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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAptRev5M3HO
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAkgqvECX52h
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAghLW4k6guI
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA8LTiSbnQfQ
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAPD6UEWbWRg
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA2GySzcYtBe
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
202Please respect copyright.PENANAGkmZaslKak
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAP9P2uUSwMn
Momo: “Huh!!”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA69VPOHPT1h
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAWZ7bp50mZt
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANApMFeldjlQS
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA8yrOBufrew
Momo: “Really?”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA9hxzGwqleK
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAm9krQDizHt
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAzDvar9gL4e
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANADAEoiSLzJQ
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA2vtZwfiYsh
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
202Please respect copyright.PENANAd4ttpsNOsE
The next second, they were off.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAWxSMuG6Wxm
202Please respect copyright.PENANArb9MDTH1T5
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAIIuQ6YOEqr
Denki: “Sowru.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAj5OxfBa7f5
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA6203beFz16
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA1OBD7YEuuq
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAVRb5xSPjUx
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANArVOtVtBWlN
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAv9bNdmucTq
Jiro: “Shoot!”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAWRWLy7Usg7
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAHRM9eOMK6t
Denki: “Hvh?”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAWSgra8k0NO
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAzypQWGa8VK
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAIYilQkuuN6
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAgLodgqt8UD
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAQZHLdX4idA
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA7L8ST8CKLl
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
202Please respect copyright.PENANAiK2rugBonk
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAD7xI7ai4CK
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAIPsi2lSfT4
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAKWokI4v2rU
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAr3t2AAkaJU
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA5VJUycPg9F
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAOdgfI1XV77
Jiro: “Tch!”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA6FBKCVUOPL
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAt5G8taHIsQ
Ida: “Got you.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAunOO4PM3Fr
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
202Please respect copyright.PENANAhxhSNDG9RI
Ida: “Ugh!”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAMKMfEJNHnm
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAA2PYHHqYpJ
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAUl5X6k8Tli
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAPmp2GSAgMq
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAfhN0oi0q51
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAOP2PI965E8
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA44YkbuNMW9
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA64nTXuABRY
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
202Please respect copyright.PENANASWUrapwEao
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
202Please respect copyright.PENANAMqEeRhATWn
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA8fOn2AVgol
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAzd1GkDOUgv
Momo: “Yes.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA6H47h0nL3S
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAIcce4Pndfw
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
202Please respect copyright.PENANASHSs3PZyX3
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAhDLDvhz0ap
Momo: “Checkmate.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAGkcwBDJlDc
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAS0tGG2Rln5
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAkqEGT5u4Aq
Ida: “What?!”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA2xgVLfeC7Y
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.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA3SVt9s3gjW
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA7Dm6QdY1D8
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAyhn5Bs9ZHn
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA8YAf0ZQ2UL
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
202Please respect copyright.PENANAKAOJRef0be
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAudoJ8OXcmm
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
202Please respect copyright.PENANAd4UsZwIpv4
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
202Please respect copyright.PENANALfQaZPihpJ
202Please respect copyright.PENANA7Q3O3ybf2X
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAwMCFczfaKH
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAby9AqMhRvt
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
202Please respect copyright.PENANAfb1u9gNv2w
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAlFvRLgzWXQ
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAo2b4PyTicD
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAijIYumcogl
202Please respect copyright.PENANAKs7hm9KZN0
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAYlJlKvzhYG
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAK0IqOp99Wr
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA8JjDze0DmM
Jiro: “Thanks.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA7mLdLYUO9S
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA9vDmDdfVlV
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAXth43FpiUM
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAQftMbJl21X
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAuRRNxnuy2w
Sero: “Sorry.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAY8L78IWDJ0
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAJbJGjeftGd
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANALLcVFSgeEh
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAfWnRFJei6p
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA41ArwBIFsN
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAoj6tn4qOhb
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA9Yh3zZd3VJ
202Please respect copyright.PENANAV8vB9x1oAP
He could feel it; it was time.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAIzue5VQcTh
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAzffuNkDVCj
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAfI9cO1pjOY
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA0h2p0j4HxN
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANACRhZPkmCOj
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA3NaLtMddno
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
202Please respect copyright.PENANACqvNtTtY7a
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAZPghThWMBz
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA7eSQS3fodp
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
202Please respect copyright.PENANARLHZk0IjUE
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAsRdbe1Ea6S
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANATYDs91oQOW
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
202Please respect copyright.PENANArGYJWgEVf8
So close, yet so far.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAC68qU5SHbk
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAshJlSZLE2S
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
202Please respect copyright.PENANA9irmIir3CQ
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
202Please respect copyright.PENANAletkLo09D2
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAfQDDrfUqMG
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

Jiro: “Oh no… ”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA1NugKfxNwQ
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAKSMYZUeIgA
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAAOexIhte9N
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAPO23rhLnrp
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAQTT8XQaKAI
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAnRoQgCjnc7
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
202Please respect copyright.PENANA41N5Rs8dPK
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.”
202Please respect copyright.PENANAJC0sQC1YzQ
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.
202Please respect copyright.PENANACLhdsy6mSt
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
