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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAW57GoSpGGb
Considering the fact she hears no explosions and Kiri went with Midoriya; that leaves only one person capable enough to defend the bomb.
420Please respect copyright.PENANADeAPk3BXf0
Momo: “Shouto Todoroki… ”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAvvJ1nvWgDA
The other person who got in through recommendations, but unlike her, he didn’t reject it.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA8t44t9HsWx
Considering his quirk, he could have easily gotten in without it.
420Please respect copyright.PENANANQj9KrFeyC
He seems like an impossible obstacle.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAOy2M2T387L
Momo: ‘What do I do? What do I do? What do I do?’
420Please respect copyright.PENANAFt9P6WTufO
Shoji: “Yaoyorozu.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAOBWDsxXbKA
Momo: “Huh!!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANApg9IbkEVOs
While Momo was stuck in a panic loop on her bike, Shoji somehow sneaked up on her.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAO1YDCID27p
Momo: “I-I’m sorry, civilian. I’ll help you get back to the safe zone; get on.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANApYAPAZ53qB
Shoji: “Appreciated. But before that, I have some information regarding the other civilians.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAmbdYlTsS8Z
Momo: “Really?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAOa7HOoBoTJ
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAPnZR7RO354
Shoji: “We should hurry; I can hear Ida quickly covering the city. He’ll eventually catch up to the last civilians.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAle2mFlJiBU
Momo: “R-Right! Thank you.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAqa7Ql7TF54
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAPuY2bMItbQ
Momo: ‘One step at a time. That’s all that matters right now. One step. I can win this.’
420Please respect copyright.PENANAfo7xyVkFjC
The next second, they were off.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAG52qqmy078
420Please respect copyright.PENANAGt5450r8Ik
Jiro: “You really need to learn how to shorten this silly spell.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAxiyWZwmM2e
Denki: “Sowru.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA05sEvbYdHN
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANASMD5rbdB9T
Still too long to help right now. So Jiro is stuck dragging him through the city, slowly.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA46WnZHq3hG
Jiro: “At least it’s not raining rubble anymore.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAfT0ucTonGB
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAD88NQmgGkB
After a few moments, her eyes widen.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA4AqypvdcTO
Jiro: “Shoot!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANALGXjLAuEpo
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA1EkPWUMr90
Denki: “Hvh?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAEyxGbJFVr4
Jiro: “Don’t make a sound.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAisUEMJbEmi
Denki: “I cwm teka Iad, lat mv… at hum.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANADpxdNTytmG
Jiro hits Denki over the head with one of her ears.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAW2JUpR884h
Jiro: “No, you can’t, idiot. Now be good and stay put.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAlyl8y0fglV
Before Denki could say more, Jiro ran out of the alley and unleashed another sound wave from her boot amplifiers.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA8sKmEkAsYi
Jiro: ‘I hope I’ll run into a hero before Ida gets me.’
420Please respect copyright.PENANA4B1NUWm7bI
With that in mind, she ran away from the approaching engines.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAi41Pqd7DDA
She did the best she could, but Jiro was still not that athletic when compared to others.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAg8fKpralWW
So she turned around to face the music. Coming down the street like a rocket was Ida.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAnkEMILB7Rw
Ida: “Give up now! You can’t beat us villains! Hahaha!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANALyFSoN9lts
Jiro: “Last time I checked, you’re not faster than sound.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANALXnt1vBYjU
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANALxGmJrNYfx
Jiro: “Tch!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAskoi6UH6Xl
She stops the sound attack and attempts to dodge to the side. But it’s much too late.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAbIftZareDa
Ida: “Got you.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANASejEqGS3nh
But before Ida can grab Jiro, a bright light erupts above their heads. A flash grenade!
420Please respect copyright.PENANAQBarXACZXg
Ida: “Ugh!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAaGGcxf1uXA
Thanks to that flash, Jiro was able to narrowly avoid being captured. But still, she’s just as blind.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAEESBiSEOjp
But thanks to a warm hand, she was brought further into safety.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAkURHeHWIhg
Momo: “Jiro, are you alright?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAZVJvNeS0E7
Jiro: “My eyes hurt, but I’m fine. Thanks.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAwUW0aCTMzW
Momo: “Now take my bike and get to the safety zone. I’ll deal with Ida.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAL0kutMvtkS
Jiro: “A-Are you sure?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA9WsCZ8Kvnv
Momo: “Yes, fighting villains is a hero’s job. Now go.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAyKzQyR2W8U
Not needing to be told twice, Jiro nods and gets on the bike. Thank God she took basic lessons when she was younger.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAA6aZJspyoK
Jiro: ‘I might as well get Kaminari too.’
420Please respect copyright.PENANAjnij8QJU0N
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANABP2CkiTlM1
Ida: “Impressive hero, but do you really think you can stop me?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAPrcdkhf4fN
Momo: “Yes.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAVXgRJX0Fc7
Ida: “Haha, then impress me, hero!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAePvaaKbCwC
With his impressive speed, Ida nearly teleported in front of Momo. Already, his foot was coming down to crush the shield.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAHbcWHgGAc3
But as soon as he touched it, he heard a click.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAa4BE53Kzhc
Momo: “Checkmate.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA3dqqUBBUo3
A burst of sticky goo exploded out of the shield and covered Ida before quickly hardening.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAUUrtis4LM1
Ida fell to the ground, stuck and still as a statue.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA97nLGa8p1w
Ida: “What?!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAciI25S9A6D
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.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA5K18NA9XWi
Momo: “Or you could have attempted a back attack. But I predicted you would attack me head-on. You are pretty straightforward after all.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANANcefgUfMOV
Ida: “Indeed, you bring up excellent points, Yaoyorozu. I will reflect on this defeat!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAWVJrWHUK3X
Momo nods before reabsorbing the shield. Still, losing the bike was a big blow to her reserves.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAWz7CjZZCMM
Momo: ‘Will I have enough for my biggest challenge?’
420Please respect copyright.PENANA10X4qjHtLO
After a moment to think of her strategy, she sighed.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAzIMMQj1oRQ
Momo: ‘It will have to be.’
420Please respect copyright.PENANAcn7lLj6mW9
It was time for a full frontal assault, plus ultra.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAXgEgG3nPVm
420Please respect copyright.PENANAgJ0imY2rcE
It didn’t take long to get Kaminari to the safety zone. Good thing too, Jiro couldn’t refill the gas like Momo could.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA1jLgIBR4jk
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAnRifUAK6Kl
Jiro: ‘How long do her creations last?’
420Please respect copyright.PENANAB6aSDniN2R
Before the implications of that question reveal themselves, the girl felt a sudden gust of wind.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAlUxvXHupur
All Might: “Congratulations on making it to safety. Come, join the rest of your class in the viewing area.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAEqtm2paONZ
Jiro: “Viewing area?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAGzaxLkcSmv
420Please respect copyright.PENANANnlNDcdCBw
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA5hn3qIiHU9
Within were the other students minus Kiri, Izuku, Bakugo and Kirishima. Those four were all in the nurse’s office.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA8bIJSouLPS
Mina: “Jiro! You made it. You did great saving Kaminari and standing up to Ida!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAIW1bgMIbwi
Jiro: “Thanks.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAIWDwxvYgUl
Jiro helps Denki into one of the several seats available.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAjXbIL1xHLh
Jiro: “What’s with them?”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA169GkOyJrq
She points to Sero and Uraraka who were sulking in the corner.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA3B3RiFI1a9
Mina: “Losing to Shouto really got to them.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA9Xu9t5Lqnd
Sero: “Sorry.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANApGLWJLnKbJ
Uraraka: “We should’ve done better.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAoDMA5yGVLR
Jiro: “You were up against that guy after all.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA4vCvpc5B6z
Mina: “Yeah, and now Yaomomo has to face him.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAUlX3YpkPvs
Jiro looks at the screen, more specifically Momo. She smiled at the sight.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAZpLje1h1FH
Jiro: “For some reason, I think she’ll be fine.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAYom0Vu349G
Mina: “Whoa, she’s going all out.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAJi3FIhxFMp
420Please respect copyright.PENANA7V7tbyQ9ZV
He could feel it; it was time.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA8FqVVSkLYi
He got up and waited for the first move to be made. Didn’t take long.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAZGHRFlF0yJ
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANANoyRBpDvI0
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAs3GyfTQiC4
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAd90AXcQTiw
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAfAphK43kaP
It was strong enough to knock him off his feet and stick him to a pillar. But he wasn’t the only one stuck.
420Please respect copyright.PENANArbGz80SqL3
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAsArGUa5kjt
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAyokW5167BY
Shouto though won’t let that happen. He quickly regulated his temperature so he could freeze the net without freezing himself.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAQsQX4jWlcL
For a tense few seconds, the two stared at each other. Whoever escapes first wins.
420Please respect copyright.PENANA1EjW3rdF4U
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANARKYs8PXPPp
Momo’s fingers were inches away from the bomb before her world went a solid blue.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAIMYGovPDst
So close, yet so far.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAUMfAMqsi0l
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAo6LhLWNJk2
Yet despite those risks, she challenged him. Despite losing to him, he can respect that.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAODsNQ2pJXI
He places his hand on the ice encasing Mom and slowly melts it.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAhsTZeSzT8K
Shouto: “You were impressive. Sorry, it had to end this way.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAjXF2yoZYIP
All Might: “Villain Team Win!”

Jiro: “Oh no… ”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAiTRhSTdMrx
Mina: “Ah man! That guy is way too strong!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAbhY4cvR1Kh
Tsuyu: “But Yaoyorozu did very well.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA6WhlHA4kZt
Tokoyami: “Agreed, she fought admirably.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAnNxzq8Q2Eh
Sero: “Yeah, much better than us.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANABU429eZNxG
Uraraka: “Yeah… ”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAuvp3lFqLrJ
All Might: “Don’t feel discouraged! You all did magnificently! Use this exercise to better prepare for the trials in the future!”
420Please respect copyright.PENANAWGpvhQt1c1
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.”
420Please respect copyright.PENANA1HT7pyZw2I
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.
420Please respect copyright.PENANAEkpGNRkLWW
Jiro: ‘I need to be better. I can’t fall behind.’
