The battle had begun, and already Momo felt the pressure. It was alleviated somewhat by the special rule given to their group.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA55zWAC1npq
They didn’t have to capture all four opponents to win; just capturing Aizawa was enough. But that didn’t improve their chances much.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAer4iudWYX9
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAtXbWYD9BNl
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAoVuCWlzFQ3
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAAbTRV2ZdrE
Momo: “What the-”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAG6WcQQAHcO
Mirio: “Heya.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGwpRsqgzCw
Instantly, the trio turn toward the smiling boy. Kiri was the first to move and destroy the wall. But the man was gone.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAhnFOB9Yvx9
Kiri: “Where-”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAnQk7fNV2UZ
Mirio: “I suppose I should start with the long-range one, eh!?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA23OOmoxyGU
Suddenly, the boy appeared behind Todoroki. Momo and Kiri turn to help their partner, but-
93Please respect copyright.PENANAiK9cXBYS5H
Kiri: “My eyes!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANADcmRBDxgOi
Momo: “W-Why are you naked!!?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAcF92LzWy3t
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAFzfwxeKQLl
Instantly, he knew what was going on.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA0fF2gBruf9
Todoroki: “Aizawa, he’s-!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAAq1bwsLxcc
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAFq2mUtuK6j
Momo: “Todoroki!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAfjST2XOSVw
Kiri and Momo attempt to help but-
93Please respect copyright.PENANA2Kg0Kr0Cq5
Aizawa: “Don’t lose focus.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZimWY3xH7y
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAc8afg66H6p
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAsLKTnlyRC0
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…
93Please respect copyright.PENANA27eqaXkjR0
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.’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAlQVlB5kIuU
Momo: “K-Kiri, are you alright?!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA3xn0sGMPVM
In response, Kiri punches away the rubble on top of her and narrows her eyes at Mirio.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAO8tu6pAI5o
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.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA6rw6XQlHMO
The three students widen their eyes as they look to Mirio, who managed to recover his pants at least.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAc6nPDWspo1
Mirio: “Come on, you’re making me blush, sensei.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAsvwUtMNkUB
Kiri: “Aiming for number 1?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1FDDQ1ep8q
Mirio: “Of course!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAcvTqI3r8D2
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…
93Please respect copyright.PENANAj53TqfjzHP
Kiri: “Threat.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANADr3W2Gl2U3
Exploding out of the rubble, Kiri attempted to go for game with a headshot. But her fist and body simply passed through his body.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAp1ZxygW8wf
Mirio: “Straight to the face, huh?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAp168qFXPXY
The next instant, Mirio and everything around him was consumed by a large glacier.
93Please respect copyright.PENANALnzoLyk6Hm
Todoroki: “Forget it, our attacks won’t work. We have to run!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAoM4zK4fKW4
Kiri: “Tch.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA5E4WZjH5y5
Mirio: “Good call!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0lbcBCj4J
Again, Mirio appeared behind Todoroki, ready to deliver another knockout punch. But this time, Kiri was fast enough to block it… somewhat.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA7eqL158NtG
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAW1QTDKcPDb
Aizawa: “After them, I’ll be there shortly.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAlmy2266Q72
Mirio: “Right!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAV4wUELqSYv
And just like that, Mirio started running in the direction of the runaways.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAPPxZEAdp5f
Momo: “If you leave, then I’ll get out of this one way or the other.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA3iEcMX9kP1
Aizawa: “Did you forget there are other villains around?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGHhuZIfG4T
After saying that, Nejire appeared on the scene, floating over the battlefield like an angel.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAvoJnvbZL6p
Nejire: “Reporting for duty!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAdyItjQqiBP
Aizawa: “Keep an eye on this one. Without her, the other two won’t be too much of a problem.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANArYz1gAlIGm
He says while using some eye drops.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAXGg0W0aIMh
Nejire: “Roger!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAKzqosGMdOS
With that, Aizawa jumped away, building to building, toward the runaways.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAXB74gHMujs
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.’
93Please respect copyright.PENANA09PZtnj9lK
The girl looks up at Nejire, who immediately locks eyes with her.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAe3yhHRhdSS
Nejire: “I’m glad I get to guard you; now I get to ask all about your quirk!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANApYJpNtQpFW
Momo: ‘She really is like Izuku. If so, then this could be my chance… ’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAVb3dEq0wYZ
Momo: “I would be happy to explain, but can you explain how Togata’s quirk works first?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAWhm5TS1atU
Nejire: “Of course! His quirk is so cool, and he worked sooooo hard to master it.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAPPvxkZK1Bu
Momo: ‘That was easy… ’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAuQEDWhThwI
Nejire: “His quirk is called Permeation. It allows him to phase through everything, and he can choose which body parts to become phasy.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAUzaDvl5yF2
Momo: “I see… but that doesn’t explain how he can seemingly teleport.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAyRfdE8KkIN
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?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA9jpf4HbWLv
Momo: “I-It is. But I’m sure it has some drawbacks.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANASUj8TM9zGW
The girl with the ever-present smile then frowns.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAcgjsk28C4l
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.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA3o6E9Xs6KV
Momo: “T-That’s-”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAoU0BCSTrQH
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!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANApwEUcHSEFY
Momo: “H-He really did… ”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAo7B9YoGyeG
Before Momo could think of the implications of such a quirk, Nejire clapped her hands.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1P5Tqmxe6
Nejire: “Now! It’s time for you to explain your quirk; I have so many questions!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1ODCRLEaw5
Momo sighed and prepared to explain what she could.
93Please respect copyright.PENANARXCbi0d6GK
Momo: ‘I hope you two can use this information to your advantage.’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAmN1q5wDxVB
93Please respect copyright.PENANAji41X7GRJB
Todoroki: “Sounds like a counter to you.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANALz7eV4yHmd
Kiri: “Nh.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA11cmijjt4A
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA4fRRF3sDo5
Sadly, this only makes their situation even worse.
93Please respect copyright.PENANANRN6vd5LBy
Mirio counters Kiri nearly perfectly, while Aizawa can easily deal with Todoroki.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAIH5MCVkp6f
Kiri: “Need Udders.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAVrBbEn0lkP
Todoroki: ‘That’s her nickname?’
93Please respect copyright.PENANABb9zeTe5oL
Shaking away that thought, Todoroki nods at the idea.
93Please respect copyright.PENANArSUnNRjooJ
Todoroki: “That’s the only way we can win.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAKSUIPwTN5h
Kiri: “Nh. But first… ”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAX4ucwBqcmV
Kiri is still carrying Todoroki, something he doesn’t seem to mind, while running from Aizawa and Mirio.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGYe2nK1uNm
Thankfully, they can’t keep up with her. She could even run straight for the gate, but…
93Please respect copyright.PENANAS0fq2C3yoT
Kiri: ‘Can’t leave Udders, not heroic.’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAQpMagRyMfX
So they will have to face them eventually. But how?
93Please respect copyright.PENANAd98fxdDHVv
Todoroki: “With your quirk, can you control my ice if you’re hit with it? Like with Kanto’s lightning?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAddGcU0RuMU
Kiri: “If flash frozen, no. But can control it otherwise. Idea?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA4tthFJOBys
Todoroki: “I think. We just need to make it so Togata can’t come out of the ground safely.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAHIwD0mTYeb
Kiri: “Nh. If he is out of the way, I can handle Master Ninja.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAaEU7QEaRRN
Todoroki: “How? He’ll erase your quirk.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAP36PrdqxoZ
Kiri: “… I’ll be fine.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAIlueiQpblK
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAB61d5pHUxv
With the plan somewhat set and time running out, Kiri turns around.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAKWLcu2FIe8
Kiri: “Go.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANApS9A3mss79
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAnUbqt8kN3M
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAeDCoJvvpzt
Mirio: “Nice try but-”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAC5PkS9Telt
This, however, Kiri saw coming and already was throwing a punch at Todoroki’s back, just when Mirio would appear.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAboXWqgTmr2
Mirio: ‘She predicted that I would appear here?!’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAaFEcTh2Xd1
Still, this wasn’t a problem. Quickly phasing away, Mirio fell back underground.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAerhnUk55jq
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAiD7NbgUXS5
Either way, popping back up a few paces backward should-
93Please respect copyright.PENANAa88j6U44yh
Mirio: “Cold!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAJuTSjeG00F
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA2Jm6ji49n1
As for Kiri and Todoroki, two things happened.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGBRyGtt62F
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAlQf7se7Du8
Mirio: “These two are great! I have to catch up!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAvUbUM4lAoh
Phasing underground and popping back to a safer area, Mirio retrieved his pants and followed Kiri.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGSNNFSu2Tu
Mirio: “I know Nejire can handle it.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA23ppfbwti0
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZFrUNwmrPf
Nejire: “Wow, your quirk is as amazing as I thought and such a strange mutation. Super strength from creation? Quirk sure are strange.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANACcEiIm05gc
Momo: “Yeah… ”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAnvjdbYiLfQ
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.’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAiTtlOckNCm
Looking down at the caltrops and then at Nejire, the girl calculates her chances.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAdxAKAkxg7G
Nejire: “Don’t think about it. I’ve got my eye on you. I’ll destroy any drones you try to make too.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1tOunNBTtx
Momo: “Tch.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA05rRmQewvl
There are many ways to get out of this, but none can keep Momo unscathed and fully clothed.
93Please respect copyright.PENANALnkRmDUVZX
Momo: ‘I’m turning out to be the most useless one one the team. If only I didn’t get captured so quickly… ’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAdeqzY3NdLu
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAfGqWrDp19j
But she knows it won’t be that easy to escape.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAxu3fSpCj6Q
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1P5sNBfjpK
Nejire: “Whoa! Those aren’t real bullets righ-”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGWMcT5fGOr
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA2XbekNAlQC
Todoroki: “Yaoyorozu, do you have a-”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAas9stTyeuo
When he turned around to talk, he was met with the sight of Momo opening the front of her costume to produce several items.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA7hiKkZtZFp
She isn’t turned in his direction, so he hasn’t seen anything, but he still feels the need to turn around.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAgS2QTVTmNT
Todoroki: “Plan?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA5znACAgtVr
Momo: “Keep them off of me while I make some drones to save-”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAkyGEmiazbK
Kiri: “No!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA8fbHxWTEEv
The two of them hear the girl yell from their earpiece.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAvWxymqcGCG
Kiri: “Escape. Master Ninja on the way. Stuck with Naked Man.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAyszD3YVn5a
Momo: ‘These nicknames, I swear…’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAbUuQI4uyxz
As she thinks that, she hears Todoroki fire off another powerful blast of fire that forces Nejire back behind the glacier.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAYZ5NyyE54l
Momo: “Kiri, you sent Todoroki to save me. I won’t leave you behind either.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAAvNGcrzbeV
Kiri: “Not enough time.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAfWdHnR9kmK
Momo: “That’s where your wrong. I have a plan; it’s crazy, but it may work.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1Z2avq6INv
Kiri: “… The best kind.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAAqicaQEPpy
93Please respect copyright.PENANAt4FTNiIVca
She says that, but Kiri is unable to get away from Mirio right now. Whatever plan Momo has, she better hurry up.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAl4sxGgQD6T
Again, Kiri predicts Mirio and tries to counter. But he just phases through everything.
93Please respect copyright.PENANArVhxY3UqVD
Mirio: “Blinding touch: Eye Poke!!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZyhOgd5GgY
Kiri: “Ugh.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAn4VwBW9mto
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAKlXo11cyvj
Mirio: “Wow! You really are tough for a first year.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAl3Xp5uEw8a
Kiri: “Cheap.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANASgz8p1AFHU
She says while rubbing her eyes.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAYaaEhq2TXQ
Mirio: “Hey, I am trying to play the villain here.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANADyJl1HwTjj
Kiri tries to escape once more, but again Mirio predicts her movement and appears in front of her.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA4CaJX2kzxC
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAa6hvyQZr8i
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!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANATBTVlHPbQO
Kiri: ‘Poor villain laugh.’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAFUfBtvbxaQ
But it’s not like he is wrong. The trio is cornered. But…
93Please respect copyright.PENANAVeFh39cNDv
Kiri: “I trust Momo’s plan.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAd79pwQWzMM
Mirio: “Right, I heard you talking to her on the earpiece. Excellent idea to have those on hand from the start!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANATKoNcSZ508
Kiri: “Nh. Good foresight, that’s why-”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAWoYuyzZQ7c
As she says that, several drones appear behind her, emerging from the skyline.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAHLKArwjgu7
Kiri: “She’s a good partner.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAfQyGULmRs0
The drones unleash everything they have on the area around Kiri, preventing Mirio from getting close.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAzrFmZXwYyx
Mirio: “Nice try. But I can just phase through and just unphase my hand to hit you.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAkKl4z134T0
Kiri: “Yes, but I won’t move this time.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAiXAsLZb3ZO
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAzrgi3C7fGL
Mirio: “Heh, nice!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAWqEhsI8if7
It was then that one of the drones stopped firing and dropped a bulky package over Kiri’s head.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAzCKxXX6UYA
Seeing this, Kiri jumps up and catches it.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAPOeO0PQDlQ
Momo: “It’s a jetpack, Kiri. Wear it and get over here!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAdb1fwpvrpk
Kiri smiles, equips the devices before falling back to the ground, and presses the obvious red button.
93Please respect copyright.PENANATyFKCjiPOH
Kiri: “W-Whoa… ”
93Please respect copyright.PENANATeQUPwTv8j
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAetYVKBjDB9
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1Cc4oFnSZk
With him gone, the drones stop firing and follow Kiri to the warzone.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGJ9OK8I8Ww
93Please respect copyright.PENANArDrZnISDW9
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANApApYSOpbIW
Various rubber guns, barricades, cannons, flash grenades, bombs, and drones.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAUs9imTl0rm
And if he erases her quirk, Todoroki will fortify their position with ice or fire at Nejire.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAHJNVHutZIR
Aizawa: ‘A living armory indeed.’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAd8S3dIuSqX
But this was only delaying the inevitable. Even if Kiri came back, Mirio wouldn’t be far behind, and that would spell the end.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAkLHLmI58po
If not that, then the time limit, which was quickly reaching zero.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAdynVOnHwVN
Aizawa: ‘What will you do now?’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAfGY9S6Aweh
He thinks while avoiding gunfire while destroying drones and edging closer to their position.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1XZ1BZuMWW
Nejire: “Wow, her quirk is crazy! And fun! I haven’t had to really move like this in a while.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAdXcrcBeXvN
The fun came from having to fly around dodging gunfire while destroying as many drones as possible.
93Please respect copyright.PENANArjbqJ2hS9Q
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAUy3OR2Amnh
However, the teacher-student duo was slowly breaking through their defenses. That was until Kiri came in.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAIzu2Eq3ao0
93Please respect copyright.PENANA15CEIwEHR8
It didn’t take long for Kiri to arrive on the scene, but she didn’t know what to do to help.
93Please respect copyright.PENANANG3SODJ4kj
Momo: “Kiri, draw Aizawa closer to us. I’ll open a weakness in our defenses, then…”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAHraXtBPqSF
Kiri nodded along with the rest of the plan. They would have to be quick, but it could work.
93Please respect copyright.PENANArvXwln4qPb
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAkFjxbdFd30
Kicking off the air under her feet, she hurls the two makeshift weapons at her two targets.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAi71FNIX8vk
Making sure to do so at the right time and angle.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAY00zzBYpQH
93Please respect copyright.PENANA8tJEX6A8YU
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAKDS9qW5HdY
But she was already gone, probably punching the air above her to quickly return to the ground.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAeKvdAFrpKm
Momo: “Kiri! You threw it too hard!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAV5IY4wgtDA
Aizawa turns around to see that the spear had blown a hole right through Momo’s defenses. Heck, even her weapon caches were destroyed.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAwzKT50dLUd
Aizawa: “Huge demerits for lack of teamwork. Hado!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAhN56Ffs3Ec
Nejire: “Got it!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAMc1pz6bm1s
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAJoFxTN20Lg
Momo: “Tch!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAIAt0jGjBbq
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAiX2rju7Zas
But due to the rapidly approaching teacher, his aim seemed to be off, and he missed.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAxazmxz3w8N
Aizawa: “Losing your cool?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAyhyeCn9L5a
Momo: “Run! We need to find cover! He can’t erase what he can’t see!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAoWSmC5BL3q
The two abandoned their position and started running. But Aizawa was much too fast.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAcTRgPnVOaA
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAiolowV6XPf
She quickly turned around and fired. The cloth surrounded Aizawa in the air.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAHccfgQdhUx
Aizawa: ‘Trying to trip me up?’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAObzRDeiTxw
Momo: “Now, Todoroki! Shoot heat along the ground!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZzJIlrTSGj
The boy attempted to do so, but Aizawa saw the play and negated his quirk in time.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAjG4zM0H3uD
Aizawa: “Nitinol alloy? Should have used a flash grenade first.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAoJiTVpMp5K
Momo: “Didn’t need to.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAFQDQGGOVCm
She says while creating a large fire-resistant shield for her and Todoroki.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGAIrOPvFpe
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAbj3rYsS8oP
Kiri: “Not only ninja.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA1ypPtSobLh
She managed to sneak past Nejire, making it in time to accomplish the last step of the plan.
93Please respect copyright.PENANATk6ASythED
Aizawa: “Heh…”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAnrlI7jwVHo
Aizawa: ‘So she used the same technique she used against Kanto, absorbing Todoroki’s flame. Even if it meant burning her hand.’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAylgo0qfBP3
The nitinol alloy snapped back to its original state thanks to the heat, trapping Aizawa, causing him to fall to the ground.
93Please respect copyright.PENANASRVAYKhseB
However, the test wasn’t done yet.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAD9Y5zblhBR
Momo: “Quick, we have to handcuff him.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAkiD2DFQN0W
She drops the shield and rushes the downed teacher alongside her teammates but-
93Please respect copyright.PENANAqt8dCt8XDN
Nejire: “Sensei!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAVlIdxmkXIY
Mirio: “Surprise!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAXrktQ0gJ1S
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA5wiz424OYA
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAmKqY4lzfwx
Momo: ‘I can do this! One For All, 5%!’
93Please respect copyright.PENANAaQc0Yn0HyI
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAYnnHWwYyNH
Mirio: “Huh?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANACDEyr9QESc
Free to do what she needed, she took the handcuffs and quickly captured Aizawa for good this time.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAFUAJr558Z8
Recovery Girl: “Group 4 has passed!! With only a few seconds to spare too.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAo7QCybbGbX
They had done it.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAwwQmeWiZnK
Momo: “YES!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA7i1wZU6Q6u
Todoroki took a breath and leaned against the nearby wall.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAdspDwN9Cao
Mirio: “Well done! The principal wasn’t kidding; you three are probably the strongest group here.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA2YxtPt6xQC
Nejire: “Maybe even the next big three!?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANARQV0BvKvfc
Momo: “I don’t know, if your third member didn’t stay at the gate, we wouldn’t have won.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAKVuoewzH62
She says while falling to the ground from mental and physical exhaustion.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAXmcjhcrJiL
Nejire: “Yeah, shame Tamaki couldn’t show off. But I guess he would have been overkill. His quirk is even stronger than ours.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANA9c5V7wgvqI
Momo: “R-Really? Then I’m glad I gave up on going to the gate.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAypPqWBsohN
Kiri: “Nh.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAzx7StGeqbK
Momo turns to Kiri, who is holding her burnt arm and shaking off the rubble.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZkWmk29YBy
Momo: “Are you alright?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAI824jA8z5P
Kiri: “Will heal.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAUQxHDJMu3C
Aizawa: “You should still go to Recovery Girl.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAKlKc2bvxBX
Kiri: “Alright.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGgCXlqitoG
Mirio: “Now that the test is over, there is one thing I’m confused about, sensei.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAAgTRf5hBY7
Aizawa: “What is it?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAsn9M4vy61g
Mirio: “Why did you run from Tae? Couldn’t you have erased her quirk and defeated her like usual?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAQMUPNSoINJ
Kiri and Momo tensed from that line of questioning. Worse still, Todoroki was looking over in curiosity as well.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA0HtGJp93iO
Nejire: “Yeah, that was strange. It’s not like you.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAmsFAKfBMh4
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZuDivdjI2J
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.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAMquCG7L0Uu
So with that in mind, there’s no way he’ll expose her.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAvKjj5v7iK1
Aizawa: “Kiri’s internship training made her a pain to deal with. I also wanted to further separate the three of them.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAu70qyjXPpV
Mirio: “Ah! That makes sense.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAapbKvhP4JV
Nejire: “Wow, who did you intern with?!”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAGqOLn8g0DM
Kiri: “Super Master Ninja.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAkBbVkXCrXC
Momo: “She means Edgeshot.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAnoLmkyLjeN
Nejire: “Oh!? That does explain how I didn’t see her going for sensei.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAOlKp3Z18y2
Aizawa: “Okay, that’s enough talking. It’s almost time for the next match.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAeTohjrHBmZ
He says while casually getting out of the nitinol alloy.
93Please respect copyright.PENANAZaUAPcUXqL
Momo: “Huh?! Wait… how-”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAMeJHmgzE78
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.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANARy5Nzofssg
Momo: “Oh… that is good.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAyJW6jRpe8I
Meanwhile, Kiri goes up to Mirio.
93Please respect copyright.PENANA7i2r4ktWvc
Mirio: “What is it?”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAAhKDw5bTu4
Kiri: “Watch the next match closely; onii is the one who will become the number 1 hero.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAal3yCH7C5B
Mirio: “Really? Then I’m looking forward to it. I’ve heard a lot about him.”
93Please respect copyright.PENANAXXx6UXuI1L
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.
