As soon as the exam started, the two sound experts unleashed their attacks. Like two cowboys in the distant past, the guns were drawn and fired.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2eMzKj54b
Present Mic: “START!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2VldNST9g0
Jiro: “Counter Balance!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqnI2pcRbC
Gigantic tornadoes colored yellow and white meet in the middle of the arena before slowly dissipating.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY09RvEn3u
Present Mic: “Heh, you call that noise?”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzw9pYsv2eT
Again, the teacher screamed out words, and Jiro countered. But she could only do so while standing still. Even still, the battlefield was filled with a cacophony of screeching tones.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxmJFhFNMhY
Jiro: “GO!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZqmwYWHXwZ
Ida blasted off towards the gate and Present Mic, all while making sure not to trip on the uneven ground. As for Kaminari, he stayed by Jiro, protecting her just in case Power Loader decided to attack.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2UV4AYF8d
Which didn’t take him long. Several holes exploded into existence in front of Ida, forcing him to quickly sidestep or jump over. But his new leg-
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0eDXqXsjj
Ida: “On no!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVafucF8eg
Still not quite used to such tight maneuvering, Ida trips into one of the holes. Worse, Power Loader used that chance to further trap Ida underground.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTDZPDqyE3T
Jiro: “Ida!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGt7ehbeYp
Present Mic: “FOCUS!!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnQ7XUsW5By
That momentary lapse was enough for Present Mic to overpower Jiro’s sound and force everyone to cover their ears.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAC75pPkzl
Jiro: “AHGH! Counter… Balance!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09g3FA4FUc
Once again focusing, the battlefield lowers in volume, enough for some planning.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpD14fBPply
Jiro: “Go help, Ida.”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡripRLhHECm
Denki: “What about you?”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbi0nDrJRC
Jiro: “Don’t worry about me. We won’t win without Ida distracting Present Mic at least. If not that, he can escape and we win.”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGvcg9GMsX
Kaminari clicks his teeth before nodding. But it will take time to go and save Ida from the pit he is trapped in. Plenty of time for Power Loader to dig past him and go after Jiro.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4rCxLw85M2
But she knew that and had a plan. It will just mean a prolonged exposure to Present Mic. But if her hunch is correct, then she won’t have to deal with it for long.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7PHG4oZQRX
The hunch was tested when she felt the ground under her feet. Jumping back, she managed to avoid Power Loader, but not Present Mic.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZQ8t9qkf7
Present Mic: “CHECKMATE!!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsYJ433T5W
Denki covers his ears and grits his teeth.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9x4BPqjdb
Denki: ‘It’s so much worse this close!!’
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH8kZ3vkEK
He looks back at Jiro to see the girl weathering the sonic storm. But she’s not doing so perfectly.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wVd7kaYfU
She bites her tongue as blood drips from her ears. There wasn’t much time; she plugs her earphone jack into the new wrist device created by Melissa and punches the ground.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6hr53DObQq
Jiro: ‘Heartbeat Distortion!’
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmowZmCYCv
The ground in front of her breaks apart, revealing Power Loader in his small mech, covering his ears from the sound Jiro unleashed. Better, Present Mic was forced to pause his attack so he doesn’t harm his partner.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd90cjmsUu
Free, Denki continues running while Jiro uses her other wrist device and takes aim.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UN2bgT8Yq
Jiro: “Jackpot.”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHlYSACZFYb
Closing one eye, she fires her sonic blaster at the vulnerable Power Loader. Unable to dodge something moving at the speed of sound, Power Loader was hit and started to shake violently. Even a teacher would have trouble withstanding that weapon.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0zluni5lti
But the effects aren’t permanent; she has to risk capturing him. So Jiro gets up and rushes the teacher while hoping Kaminari and Ida can handle Present-
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02CG7eZaXN
Present Mic: “WORTHY SACRIFICE!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFVQlyoi8R
Jiro: “AGH!!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpmSwkMsdUq
Jiro: ‘He’s willing to risk Power Loader?! Darn it!’
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgYUxy5hVT
Jiro: “Counter Balance!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bjqg1HAHl
Great, she’s stuck, and it won’t take long for Power Loader to recover. When he does, they lose. She looks to Denk,i who is torn between helping her and saving Ida.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5M5Q1uSMn
If he can get to Ida in time, then Ida can deal with Present Mic. But if he doesn’t, it’s over.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwF26R0vQTB
If he can get to Power Loader in time, he could capture him and free Ida at his leisure. But if he doesn’t, it’s over.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNX1WjMmGPu
So the end of this exam all depends on Denki Kaminari.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlMribI4pR
Jiro: ‘Come on, Kaminari, I know you will make the right choice.’
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZWN4kPTCM
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2cNTf38IT
Denki: ‘Seriously!?’
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLAVyPXKgC
The boy didn’t think he would be the deciding factor of the exam! How could he?
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7rDEMGSnaq
Jiro was awesome and made great strides with her quirk. She is also a counter to Present Mic.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHKy2TNyELV
Ida is the fastest, even with the new leg, and was the other key to victory.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnsTjqNLiMc
But both are out, and it’s up to Denki of all people to save one of them.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1ZAwd2e9M
Denki: ‘Ugh, if only I mastered what Midoriya suggested during the training!’
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM8v7M4Gvk
During the training period, Midoriya suggested some insane uses for his quirk. Many of which went over the boy’s head. But one of them could help here.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpRXHa2lUT
But can he do it? And if he can, does he have to go stupid for it?
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtjZvEgCZj
He’s so close to Ida, but it would take too long to dig him out with his hands.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEqzzulzma
He could run back to Jiro, but Power Loader may recover before he arrives.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13tNe7MPIb
Denki: ‘Darn it!’
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTpP4L2lUyt
There is no other choice. He may not fully understand how this side of his quirk works, but it’s the only way to get Ida out in time. So the boy turns away from Jiro and runs with all he has to Ida.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEt9uw4rrH
When he arrived, he got on his knees and pressed the ground trapping Ida waist-down in dirt.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡke8zWoXY8N
Ida: “I’m sorry, Kaminari. If only I didn’t fall into this trap! You should’ve helped Jiro. She is more important right now.”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpPxrap1TTk
Denki: “No way, dude. You’re our key to victory; don’t sell yourself short. Besides… you may want to yell at me after this.”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj4VGkiQge
Ida: “H-Huh?”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpBZ9X9KkN
Denki: “I’m about to do something stupid, if it even works.”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4sieIWLQj
The boy lightly glowed a golden hue as he used all of his focus to control the electricity that usually discharges. Sweat was already pooling on his brow, but he wasn’t done.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4M9No1GvX9
Here comes the hard part.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx8VGYKfUM
Now he must direct his quirk around his arms as a loop, creating a magnetic field. The metal in Ida’s armor and leg shivered but didn’t move. The connection didn’t stick around for long enough.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHHQGAlYg6E
He needed more power!
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzFFnNNzC6x
Denki: “C’mon, just stick already!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED1lNCxNH6
Golden light exploded outwards as the boy unleashed everything he had, even risking going dumb. The result was an explosion of dirt and a straining Ida flying into the sky. The metal in his armor and leg strained from the sudden push upward.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCEEymamhxK
They will need repair after this, but for now, they still need to work.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdtaq9jwGgE
Seeing Denki stumble around in a daze, Ida knew the baton was given to him. He hardened his resolve while righting his position towards the gate.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0SXVXf09S
Ida: “Thank you, Kaminari; I won’t let your efforts be in vain.”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ1DMSJHF3
The time had come to fully utilize the new leg with his quirk. Sensing the activation of his quirk, the nerve connected to the new leg blazed with blue life.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLv11H5KOv
Ida: “Recipro Burst!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYLPPT7076V
Present Mic was watching the whole thing and was ready to give Jiro a small break in favor of dealing with Ida. But the boy’s speed was unreal, especially for a teacher slowed by the weights.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJaFf6IYtb
Ida was right in his face by the time Present Mic was able to say-
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq00T88qgS6
Present Mic: “SLOW DOWN!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gXoSVeygF
Ida was pushed back to the ground by the focused sound wave. But he didn’t let it stop him. There were only seconds left in his Recipro Burst; he had to make the most of it and prove his worth.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DmIwi26Dd
So he ignored the pain, recovered from the tumble, and blasted forth. Thanks to those before him, present and unaccounted for, Ida was able to blitz Present Mic and pass through the gate.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIDZPR3R4S
With a light chime, the message over the gate changed to read, Good Job!!
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJ2jf1QUXB
Recovery Girl: “Group 3 has passed!!”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1GEHZPolEe
Hearing that, Ida collapsed onto the ground. Ears bleeding, head pounding, and new leg smoking.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlYGRI3dfNR
A worthy price to pass the exam and prove that Ida still belongs.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcpL5nZDrfE
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7hRCMs6WiB
Power Loader: “Well done, you passed by the skin of your teeth.”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR6dwKQwY0T
He says to the now captured Jiro. Just as Ida was made airborne, Power Loader recovered and quickly grabbed Jiro with his mech’s arms. If Denki didn’t make the right choice, they would have surely lost.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8nbSr2GAX
Jiro: “I knew Kaminari would make the right choice.”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhTLSXXyaPl
Power Loader: “Yeah, but if this was a real battle, would he have made the right choice? After all, what would happen to you two now if this was real?”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sLzDTQLqL
Jiro: “… We wouldn’t have made it.”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsIC7yXMG8
Power Loader: “Right. You may have passed, but your score is lower than the previous team. But don’t let that get you down; it just means you all have more room to grow.”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpfYX3WezHg
Jiro: “Right… thank you.”
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk6SUCecpsG
With that said, he put the girl down and went to help Denki and Ida. One needs rest, and the other needs a repairman.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgVOkjqLgT
As for Jiro, she releases a long breath of air, letting go of the tension her body has been holding in since the start.
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzzHSRsego
Jiro: ‘Too close. But we did pass. I hope Momo can do the same.’
116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2FyDgyA7Z
Three down, two left to go. The next one being possibly the most anticipated due to the amount of chaos it promises.
