The battle had begun, and already Momo felt the pressure. It was alleviated somewhat by the special rule given to their group.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkIdzUhAMS6
They didn’t have to capture all four opponents to win; just capturing Aizawa was enough. But that didn’t improve their chances much.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSupqVyR53P
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡitWdB8sQ6f
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmvpJSCIK2
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDKH2wBQAQ
Momo: “What the-”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwO5HzgdLgw
Mirio: “Heya.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nsDISXViI
Instantly, the trio turn toward the smiling boy. Kiri was the first to move and destroy the wall. But the man was gone.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXVy3fo036
Kiri: “Where-”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKJhEgBakG
Mirio: “I suppose I should start with the long-range one, eh!?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rOR0VPYZO
Suddenly, the boy appeared behind Todoroki. Momo and Kiri turn to help their partner, but-
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUyPnlLfvL6
Kiri: “My eyes!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfsv124xNw
Momo: “W-Why are you naked!!?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzDSYyL02m
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa5F33T5Ll
Instantly, he knew what was going on.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqk93jfjU8R
Todoroki: “Aizawa, he’s-!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWogf17Y1c
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRizjjFpUyn
Momo: “Todoroki!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJqdcOH8PM
Kiri and Momo attempt to help but-
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WJySG4gns
Aizawa: “Don’t lose focus.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnCQYeI8fFm
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPdm8J3RKK
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5e8rUWfYKM
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…
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7UJ5sH2Am
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.’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUEEse0cNJC
Momo: “K-Kiri, are you alright?!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq8XkjbXbxu
In response, Kiri punches away the rubble on top of her and narrows her eyes at Mirio.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡITJEjmyVAr
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.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPo3l6Fc3L
The three students widen their eyes as they look to Mirio, who managed to recover his pants at least.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeluo0D4yyi
Mirio: “Come on, you’re making me blush, sensei.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoypQKdqRbR
Kiri: “Aiming for number 1?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsVEt6yBoA5
Mirio: “Of course!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0C5EH7jYM3
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…
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PtdfQ7YhJ
Kiri: “Threat.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4EXWk9NrHt
Exploding out of the rubble, Kiri attempted to go for game with a headshot. But her fist and body simply passed through his body.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgFReudVeZ
Mirio: “Straight to the face, huh?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNX5GaNsk6
The next instant, Mirio and everything around him was consumed by a large glacier.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAIDARCsoo
Todoroki: “Forget it, our attacks won’t work. We have to run!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLn8vZM4HJ3
Kiri: “Tch.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQVme6z7il
Mirio: “Good call!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBI1fD7UKUt
Again, Mirio appeared behind Todoroki, ready to deliver another knockout punch. But this time, Kiri was fast enough to block it… somewhat.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBvC2MDIA7
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHX5QRWkeOF
Aizawa: “After them, I’ll be there shortly.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5dSjfVuUvh
Mirio: “Right!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmRaHIjjJYa
And just like that, Mirio started running in the direction of the runaways.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnmitIGdJtI
Momo: “If you leave, then I’ll get out of this one way or the other.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu204c8HcA
Aizawa: “Did you forget there are other villains around?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8a9lGhHhxk
After saying that, Nejire appeared on the scene, floating over the battlefield like an angel.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYHXoldIwV
Nejire: “Reporting for duty!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCogWEC5Hs4
Aizawa: “Keep an eye on this one. Without her, the other two won’t be too much of a problem.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bUU0a8EVa
He says while using some eye drops.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVm6cJhMQUd
Nejire: “Roger!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrg6LenwJc
With that, Aizawa jumped away, building to building, toward the runaways.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvYo31jHu2d
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.’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpy6K17O458
The girl looks up at Nejire, who immediately locks eyes with her.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB886D91meA
Nejire: “I’m glad I get to guard you; now I get to ask all about your quirk!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhiFRXaUyJf
Momo: ‘She really is like Izuku. If so, then this could be my chance… ’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmozOnJJPai
Momo: “I would be happy to explain, but can you explain how Togata’s quirk works first?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnpvCV8Bl6h
Nejire: “Of course! His quirk is so cool, and he worked sooooo hard to master it.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4coYBRk9by
Momo: ‘That was easy… ’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7y132XDoI5
Nejire: “His quirk is called Permeation. It allows him to phase through everything, and he can choose which body parts to become phasy.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpI2grrpvt
Momo: “I see… but that doesn’t explain how he can seemingly teleport.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7UQzEEqLI
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?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscNA0j2Q0I
Momo: “I-It is. But I’m sure it has some drawbacks.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8gk4r7kIt
The girl with the ever-present smile then frowns.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7HsMyATEy
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.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7W4f2GBTQA
Momo: “T-That’s-”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡblpmIKFQPp
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!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZOsVLxdxne
Momo: “H-He really did… ”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9INlHQaHFd
Before Momo could think of the implications of such a quirk, Nejire clapped her hands.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjPvr32ucf
Nejire: “Now! It’s time for you to explain your quirk; I have so many questions!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLP1UjFKOmy
Momo sighed and prepared to explain what she could.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGw3RHy0Arb
Momo: ‘I hope you two can use this information to your advantage.’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SX4ZUEYJB
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8B9u81vlZQ
Todoroki: “Sounds like a counter to you.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpiuExFMR4
Kiri: “Nh.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwyabbZxPf
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWWFaS8z5cI
Sadly, this only makes their situation even worse.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7b7facnRr
Mirio counters Kiri nearly perfectly, while Aizawa can easily deal with Todoroki.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegDvlSQd2I
Kiri: “Need Udders.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM41AxkS4mS
Todoroki: ‘That’s her nickname?’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dR0QkbecE
Shaking away that thought, Todoroki nods at the idea.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejJUp3EQzO
Todoroki: “That’s the only way we can win.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSI0ranihqj
Kiri: “Nh. But first… ”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DPBqgZbdK
Kiri is still carrying Todoroki, something he doesn’t seem to mind, while running from Aizawa and Mirio.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIWcpsS6Oqy
Thankfully, they can’t keep up with her. She could even run straight for the gate, but…
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxEK3FLtQB0
Kiri: ‘Can’t leave Udders, not heroic.’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn0Lc7q4EvX
So they will have to face them eventually. But how?
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ50keSWXh5r
Todoroki: “With your quirk, can you control my ice if you’re hit with it? Like with Kanto’s lightning?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtaId9NFU6y
Kiri: “If flash frozen, no. But can control it otherwise. Idea?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh02stXbM8G
Todoroki: “I think. We just need to make it so Togata can’t come out of the ground safely.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzr7YI7KSxe
Kiri: “Nh. If he is out of the way, I can handle Master Ninja.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT88ajCmly
Todoroki: “How? He’ll erase your quirk.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzz18uQFKeU
Kiri: “… I’ll be fine.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMwKLJ4j4cQ
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8dtNoQsdGT
With the plan somewhat set and time running out, Kiri turns around.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9fdSSnZetc
Kiri: “Go.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1NiIfJQaf
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnafJtrVJ1
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsNszSFIrX
Mirio: “Nice try but-”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60bAZfCukT
This, however, Kiri saw coming and already was throwing a punch at Todoroki’s back, just when Mirio would appear.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpweBhaXM7d
Mirio: ‘She predicted that I would appear here?!’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgyAiKjGfa
Still, this wasn’t a problem. Quickly phasing away, Mirio fell back underground.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXGeeOEX9L
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KXwnpeIA0
Either way, popping back up a few paces backward should-
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5fzQqHKj5
Mirio: “Cold!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS6713bzNk
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIdDGu8Hrh
As for Kiri and Todoroki, two things happened.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡonRvKfj44h
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbArCZfF4Fm
Mirio: “These two are great! I have to catch up!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw0gO0Um3ut
Phasing underground and popping back to a safer area, Mirio retrieved his pants and followed Kiri.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyoLi6OeSSR
Mirio: “I know Nejire can handle it.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdDMyt1Mt5
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nr4ZQam7b
Nejire: “Wow, your quirk is as amazing as I thought and such a strange mutation. Super strength from creation? Quirk sure are strange.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXS5jMEbwH
Momo: “Yeah… ”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nGt4gneJY
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.’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZNRSb61id
Looking down at the caltrops and then at Nejire, the girl calculates her chances.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtXDIr8WnWM
Nejire: “Don’t think about it. I’ve got my eye on you. I’ll destroy any drones you try to make too.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqrsi8AlmK8
Momo: “Tch.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGoQ2O63aF9
There are many ways to get out of this, but none can keep Momo unscathed and fully clothed.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6GKXnEscBI
Momo: ‘I’m turning out to be the most useless one one the team. If only I didn’t get captured so quickly… ’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05ENmlDaI7
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WtBMX1LjM
But she knows it won’t be that easy to escape.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNhMb7Cf46
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTShx5TyRRb
Nejire: “Whoa! Those aren’t real bullets righ-”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwwNtNzHqS
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5Y1sZ8vZK
Todoroki: “Yaoyorozu, do you have a-”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJYGfbR5iWt
When he turned around to talk, he was met with the sight of Momo opening the front of her costume to produce several items.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhU6XhX4kt
She isn’t turned in his direction, so he hasn’t seen anything, but he still feels the need to turn around.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuGGlAsIJ0
Todoroki: “Plan?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86VVJTazhy
Momo: “Keep them off of me while I make some drones to save-”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq4oNdEk8Eh
Kiri: “No!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIQxWPUdYYy
The two of them hear the girl yell from their earpiece.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNQl2CVMmJ
Kiri: “Escape. Master Ninja on the way. Stuck with Naked Man.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTksU3lM9sY
Momo: ‘These nicknames, I swear…’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmwPIv6kaa
As she thinks that, she hears Todoroki fire off another powerful blast of fire that forces Nejire back behind the glacier.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8CI3vWRju
Momo: “Kiri, you sent Todoroki to save me. I won’t leave you behind either.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFHb8CpDiW
Kiri: “Not enough time.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0jvGU8AOd
Momo: “That’s where your wrong. I have a plan; it’s crazy, but it may work.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmH6jjmnvBi
Kiri: “… The best kind.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsHytZsgo4R
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR1jCGFgda4
She says that, but Kiri is unable to get away from Mirio right now. Whatever plan Momo has, she better hurry up.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6k1On4xkAA
Again, Kiri predicts Mirio and tries to counter. But he just phases through everything.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMU5eJa04I
Mirio: “Blinding touch: Eye Poke!!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yJPnPpVq5
Kiri: “Ugh.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRivFxyvSX
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl0CTeFc8bM
Mirio: “Wow! You really are tough for a first year.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrKFsUtG9c1
Kiri: “Cheap.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5dJXcOOTV
She says while rubbing her eyes.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4xUwOQVU2
Mirio: “Hey, I am trying to play the villain here.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqOyIJEFiZA
Kiri tries to escape once more, but again Mirio predicts her movement and appears in front of her.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yI3J4A82u
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyON7AlAUXY
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!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLRLNKJHehr
Kiri: ‘Poor villain laugh.’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi6BKl5jjWh
But it’s not like he is wrong. The trio is cornered. But…
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJWruYok1M
Kiri: “I trust Momo’s plan.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnJDOR4lxh
Mirio: “Right, I heard you talking to her on the earpiece. Excellent idea to have those on hand from the start!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HaKu3WpzC
Kiri: “Nh. Good foresight, that’s why-”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EN1sigeS5
As she says that, several drones appear behind her, emerging from the skyline.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhIVSmvBLAz
Kiri: “She’s a good partner.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUFiiSfxQ2
The drones unleash everything they have on the area around Kiri, preventing Mirio from getting close.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfGoHWUegR
Mirio: “Nice try. But I can just phase through and just unphase my hand to hit you.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqKFIlydJn
Kiri: “Yes, but I won’t move this time.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODgX7EmRBH
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvVNnQJoiOM
Mirio: “Heh, nice!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFj8heScIe
It was then that one of the drones stopped firing and dropped a bulky package over Kiri’s head.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpIfa4XAPH
Seeing this, Kiri jumps up and catches it.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4m1OIVGmC
Momo: “It’s a jetpack, Kiri. Wear it and get over here!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3mZ6esq4Y
Kiri smiles, equips the devices before falling back to the ground, and presses the obvious red button.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NnDgNmMMf
Kiri: “W-Whoa… ”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QbafULVJx
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXxc1c6cOEn
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7v6TQe6WGm
With him gone, the drones stop firing and follow Kiri to the warzone.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDejjv1CfyF
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbA4IvOInwU
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuXu153KgE
Various rubber guns, barricades, cannons, flash grenades, bombs, and drones.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDpGn1uR8O
And if he erases her quirk, Todoroki will fortify their position with ice or fire at Nejire.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gFcEzYeH1
Aizawa: ‘A living armory indeed.’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsguXbnFZXH
But this was only delaying the inevitable. Even if Kiri came back, Mirio wouldn’t be far behind, and that would spell the end.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKfdWNWCh6
If not that, then the time limit, which was quickly reaching zero.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFkgSCeOk4
Aizawa: ‘What will you do now?’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBxcowifg7
He thinks while avoiding gunfire while destroying drones and edging closer to their position.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkdRskRLLAe
Nejire: “Wow, her quirk is crazy! And fun! I haven’t had to really move like this in a while.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMf6dQ17GX
The fun came from having to fly around dodging gunfire while destroying as many drones as possible.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dd8TgiyUa
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuQfcCDjusP
However, the teacher-student duo was slowly breaking through their defenses. That was until Kiri came in.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlce4Owlco
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo00KUSBWPK
It didn’t take long for Kiri to arrive on the scene, but she didn’t know what to do to help.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczOBRIDF4D
Momo: “Kiri, draw Aizawa closer to us. I’ll open a weakness in our defenses, then…”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWM2fVnTnRZ
Kiri nodded along with the rest of the plan. They would have to be quick, but it could work.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqg4neIJldy
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡufWLCX27uA
Kicking off the air under her feet, she hurls the two makeshift weapons at her two targets.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0G4lofjDXh
Making sure to do so at the right time and angle.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P145itT2B
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3q0UFak4p
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhLpgqew1C
But she was already gone, probably punching the air above her to quickly return to the ground.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrb5tJ3AkhB
Momo: “Kiri! You threw it too hard!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsTNt6qIC10
Aizawa turns around to see that the spear had blown a hole right through Momo’s defenses. Heck, even her weapon caches were destroyed.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNmN61EIBlT
Aizawa: “Huge demerits for lack of teamwork. Hado!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMVp0pYwak
Nejire: “Got it!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5L812VSDx
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIhLPq15WLm
Momo: “Tch!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgmJMnPdAiS
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcPNUpmxKSt
But due to the rapidly approaching teacher, his aim seemed to be off, and he missed.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKFtGWIGdU
Aizawa: “Losing your cool?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGt941RrRR
Momo: “Run! We need to find cover! He can’t erase what he can’t see!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKFEdaRWVoe
The two abandoned their position and started running. But Aizawa was much too fast.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSnoonDJF2
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1YttsJ51q
She quickly turned around and fired. The cloth surrounded Aizawa in the air.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL902WHLThb
Aizawa: ‘Trying to trip me up?’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOApan6eNC
Momo: “Now, Todoroki! Shoot heat along the ground!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFGnTD6mr4
The boy attempted to do so, but Aizawa saw the play and negated his quirk in time.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6boHQtPv2
Aizawa: “Nitinol alloy? Should have used a flash grenade first.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDYvhI4A4I5
Momo: “Didn’t need to.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzyz7v3wAgE
She says while creating a large fire-resistant shield for her and Todoroki.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknmuAePgqg
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzMna2xx0rc
Kiri: “Not only ninja.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAWYWb9rup
She managed to sneak past Nejire, making it in time to accomplish the last step of the plan.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPpnfPVo0S
Aizawa: “Heh…”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqQwHk1egG
Aizawa: ‘So she used the same technique she used against Kanto, absorbing Todoroki’s flame. Even if it meant burning her hand.’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6ktzl7rek
The nitinol alloy snapped back to its original state thanks to the heat, trapping Aizawa, causing him to fall to the ground.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86Gv4T6NZz
However, the test wasn’t done yet.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAURHGWTJSO
Momo: “Quick, we have to handcuff him.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9Ltyym9xi
She drops the shield and rushes the downed teacher alongside her teammates but-
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10P0rdyaWw
Nejire: “Sensei!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCgdm3dzY9a
Mirio: “Surprise!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhlE0P6O5g
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDmbxpVvjv
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFbhp7Kl5M
Momo: ‘I can do this! One For All, 5%!’
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSwj04o61rm
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsymcTzQphu
Mirio: “Huh?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUMY4pT7Wr
Free to do what she needed, she took the handcuffs and quickly captured Aizawa for good this time.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXhczBcnKg
Recovery Girl: “Group 4 has passed!! With only a few seconds to spare too.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOcqL3VVQ7
They had done it.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjSMBVgvwQ
Momo: “YES!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZBEC1xM9gV
Todoroki took a breath and leaned against the nearby wall.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRdB3LMr2t
Mirio: “Well done! The principal wasn’t kidding; you three are probably the strongest group here.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sCIQFfTeB
Nejire: “Maybe even the next big three!?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9t0loLxKx
Momo: “I don’t know, if your third member didn’t stay at the gate, we wouldn’t have won.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIYTTAMbOa
She says while falling to the ground from mental and physical exhaustion.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjxROQSjBgp
Nejire: “Yeah, shame Tamaki couldn’t show off. But I guess he would have been overkill. His quirk is even stronger than ours.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ7IB8AzMzb
Momo: “R-Really? Then I’m glad I gave up on going to the gate.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwmRAyV5fq
Kiri: “Nh.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx3TDr4raP7
Momo turns to Kiri, who is holding her burnt arm and shaking off the rubble.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dhCoI0sff
Momo: “Are you alright?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQYdOIll6G
Kiri: “Will heal.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4exi6AmSpR
Aizawa: “You should still go to Recovery Girl.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4A8UTcSS4S
Kiri: “Alright.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OaULjM8xL
Mirio: “Now that the test is over, there is one thing I’m confused about, sensei.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiFTemnd8Y
Aizawa: “What is it?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwQ7Vqztkj
Mirio: “Why did you run from Tae? Couldn’t you have erased her quirk and defeated her like usual?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG3X62JUX8
Kiri and Momo tensed from that line of questioning. Worse still, Todoroki was looking over in curiosity as well.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVHiuirBC9U
Nejire: “Yeah, that was strange. It’s not like you.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBKnGe410UB
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5sOaGuq6fD
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.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2fD09o8KG0
So with that in mind, there’s no way he’ll expose her.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwOjSCqbci
Aizawa: “Kiri’s internship training made her a pain to deal with. I also wanted to further separate the three of them.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdsSwTEV7U
Mirio: “Ah! That makes sense.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFanC6X7yKk
Nejire: “Wow, who did you intern with?!”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDA9xvdfrtz
Kiri: “Super Master Ninja.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZpeA51Jvw
Momo: “She means Edgeshot.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5nWRoJlDVG
Nejire: “Oh!? That does explain how I didn’t see her going for sensei.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuk02E4fmpI
Aizawa: “Okay, that’s enough talking. It’s almost time for the next match.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ66BJBGuTcy
He says while casually getting out of the nitinol alloy.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2bnVYd81Y
Momo: “Huh?! Wait… how-”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaZvDNq1RUW
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.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtze112bqiC
Momo: “Oh… that is good.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ZJUWrvVyS
Meanwhile, Kiri goes up to Mirio.
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWa2wohFxDE
Mirio: “What is it?”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWAzZsRK9x
Kiri: “Watch the next match closely; onii is the one who will become the number 1 hero.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwaacnPUjIa
Mirio: “Really? Then I’m looking forward to it. I’ve heard a lot about him.”
88Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHZ5pFXC0ZD
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.
