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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZBFDEYjon
Present Mic: “START!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYu9lcMCuHo
Jiro: “Counter Balance!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbfGQ55cdq
Gigantic tornadoes colored yellow and white meet in the middle of the arena before slowly dissipating.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4TTdanRUoR
Present Mic: “Heh, you call that noise?”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28svNp0mdU
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp0JFY0BKu
Jiro: “GO!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSaqGxHS3y
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZPwTYKCdR
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-
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXlff9Ibyu
Ida: “On no!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QpWOxBXY0
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWu5JlhoBk
Jiro: “Ida!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0PhNCYwnx
Present Mic: “FOCUS!!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUYbzV0GC1
That momentary lapse was enough for Present Mic to overpower Jiro’s sound and force everyone to cover their ears.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGQQEzc3W1
Jiro: “AHGH! Counter… Balance!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbC1tWxshZR
Once again focusing, the battlefield lowers in volume, enough for some planning.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC7EJ4fZ1bf
Jiro: “Go help, Ida.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8f7nv8faHY
Denki: “What about you?”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPdaS6QT5F
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.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRMHInmtFq7
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdp9TCsYfnk
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3UPluP9V6F
The hunch was tested when she felt the ground under her feet. Jumping back, she managed to avoid Power Loader, but not Present Mic.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3L0fnt7PQB
Present Mic: “CHECKMATE!!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWT6ea5stl
Denki covers his ears and grits his teeth.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdeh8bmmzK
Denki: ‘It’s so much worse this close!!’
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mjyCVhPg5
He looks back at Jiro to see the girl weathering the sonic storm. But she’s not doing so perfectly.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSrrot0F2bU
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp90RRhSwB
Jiro: ‘Heartbeat Distortion!’
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8BqiOj5SlW
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzWBu3RIWJp
Free, Denki continues running while Jiro uses her other wrist device and takes aim.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDx22I8zRWL
Jiro: “Jackpot.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QvDT5z3HL
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQOaSqSGjZL
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-
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCt4YRNeydy
Present Mic: “WORTHY SACRIFICE!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9hbOkgeZ7k
Jiro: “AGH!!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaFtb8CKYq
Jiro: ‘He’s willing to risk Power Loader?! Darn it!’
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmmqKtdF9E
Jiro: “Counter Balance!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmaAshaQS4i
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlWz4cqa29e
If he can get to Ida in time, then Ida can deal with Present Mic. But if he doesn’t, it’s over.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRkY9KyexpG
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKndk1I9kwM
So the end of this exam all depends on Denki Kaminari.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVasjJgyhMK
Jiro: ‘Come on, Kaminari, I know you will make the right choice.’
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡssCeDZdzyQ
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuY2PvCoPgh
Denki: ‘Seriously!?’
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3AoDrQi9Uc
The boy didn’t think he would be the deciding factor of the exam! How could he?
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDsTtSCErd
Jiro was awesome and made great strides with her quirk. She is also a counter to Present Mic.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8kTqbCIxf
Ida is the fastest, even with the new leg, and was the other key to victory.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylET0Xesjd
But both are out, and it’s up to Denki of all people to save one of them.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr3GsFZ9tb
Denki: ‘Ugh, if only I mastered what Midoriya suggested during the training!’
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3oWZfvfWmy
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWjimk4YmM
But can he do it? And if he can, does he have to go stupid for it?
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07YEql9JB2
He’s so close to Ida, but it would take too long to dig him out with his hands.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZO8aIHLmQh
He could run back to Jiro, but Power Loader may recover before he arrives.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDQwUuUlOM
Denki: ‘Darn it!’
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPuZ63AQVE
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KAfhwhQxD
When he arrived, he got on his knees and pressed the ground trapping Ida waist-down in dirt.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP60kwSiVX7
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.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIcRAqdI8u
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.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPamnhdHzI9
Ida: “H-Huh?”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmSbKcX5j4p
Denki: “I’m about to do something stupid, if it even works.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGs7UIdT5aB
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGyXVMukfe
Here comes the hard part.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7iyADPH13n
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguca7XPzUg
He needed more power!
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlLByr7lX8
Denki: “C’mon, just stick already!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMRgi5Ucie
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPwiKNPePR
They will need repair after this, but for now, they still need to work.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQONjGJQoRD
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuCdaW9e9VK
Ida: “Thank you, Kaminari; I won’t let your efforts be in vain.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSmwT6Q8xr
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4xZvKB7Mj
Ida: “Recipro Burst!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhN96wd3Rar
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUljcnCqcQ9
Ida was right in his face by the time Present Mic was able to say-
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjswgI6K4w
Present Mic: “SLOW DOWN!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkZpo9Fw4G
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlPtvHMwryj
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA6Gg2tRQF
With a light chime, the message over the gate changed to read, Good Job!!
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGuG5OL2WHT
Recovery Girl: “Group 3 has passed!!”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡslbyT4wM29
Hearing that, Ida collapsed onto the ground. Ears bleeding, head pounding, and new leg smoking.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRDGm5CqJcr
A worthy price to pass the exam and prove that Ida still belongs.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdve5lwxQmH
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Sw3lWys9U
Power Loader: “Well done, you passed by the skin of your teeth.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0tYB2uD02
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.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkRDysDq9C
Jiro: “I knew Kaminari would make the right choice.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4SXopkXx1
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?”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL5dvgM7qaw
Jiro: “… We wouldn’t have made it.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQmy2649Sg0
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.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqsyYqudvGB
Jiro: “Right… thank you.”
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOsNFxR5RyP
With that said, he put the girl down and went to help Denki and Ida. One needs rest, and the other needs a repairman.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz394Q8OyAB
As for Jiro, she releases a long breath of air, letting go of the tension her body has been holding in since the start.
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73An4LR615
Jiro: ‘Too close. But we did pass. I hope Momo can do the same.’
112Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUTS4I8Jaa
Three down, two left to go. The next one being possibly the most anticipated due to the amount of chaos it promises.
