The battle had begun, and already Momo felt the pressure. It was alleviated somewhat by the special rule given to their group.
89Please respect copyright.PENANABVnjVbSwHr
They didn’t have to capture all four opponents to win; just capturing Aizawa was enough. But that didn’t improve their chances much.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA38gOx8vms1
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAwempqQ6SUQ
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA42TFdSc6Rt
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAA8LtlqQ0RN
Momo: “What the-”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAZwZ0uzFyJK
Mirio: “Heya.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAP1IcZPeKpT
Instantly, the trio turn toward the smiling boy. Kiri was the first to move and destroy the wall. But the man was gone.
89Please respect copyright.PENANApd6WPMk5j2
Kiri: “Where-”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAQExuxXFZVX
Mirio: “I suppose I should start with the long-range one, eh!?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANALuCYP3ZYFs
Suddenly, the boy appeared behind Todoroki. Momo and Kiri turn to help their partner, but-
89Please respect copyright.PENANA33riiCVyHF
Kiri: “My eyes!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAwWiuuhtlgN
Momo: “W-Why are you naked!!?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA1r5hlLjKS1
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAPqQecPDX3c
Instantly, he knew what was going on.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAfRPkQqhqN2
Todoroki: “Aizawa, he’s-!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA0LMD4oMDMw
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA9i2EPTNVMT
Momo: “Todoroki!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAuZguo6q20S
Kiri and Momo attempt to help but-
89Please respect copyright.PENANAhb1LvXy2X0
Aizawa: “Don’t lose focus.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAhVeF9X7gJj
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAOvvh1SceQz
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAdVhaqyfV2X
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…
89Please respect copyright.PENANA70cVdIUqkn
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.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAUuHlJeMMVP
Momo: “K-Kiri, are you alright?!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA6ThMsTzxw7
In response, Kiri punches away the rubble on top of her and narrows her eyes at Mirio.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAmGf76Mm42s
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAmPHt5cHP9h
The three students widen their eyes as they look to Mirio, who managed to recover his pants at least.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAiEckv3Ms0C
Mirio: “Come on, you’re making me blush, sensei.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANACL7UFyncFr
Kiri: “Aiming for number 1?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAgGgHYyLEtE
Mirio: “Of course!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAeLiBZQ0tnj
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…
89Please respect copyright.PENANAeb91ageJNU
Kiri: “Threat.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAdTA7XcClko
Exploding out of the rubble, Kiri attempted to go for game with a headshot. But her fist and body simply passed through his body.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA6Ju1rSbOEA
Mirio: “Straight to the face, huh?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAQDh7emACl2
The next instant, Mirio and everything around him was consumed by a large glacier.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAp92WZPRGFO
Todoroki: “Forget it, our attacks won’t work. We have to run!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAm2p0UxlfNO
Kiri: “Tch.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAXI7tZIF8xk
Mirio: “Good call!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAqQ2XVhME0a
Again, Mirio appeared behind Todoroki, ready to deliver another knockout punch. But this time, Kiri was fast enough to block it… somewhat.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAc6KzjYhlpG
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAEk0PX8WtLq
Aizawa: “After them, I’ll be there shortly.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAUM5WAZ1tWi
Mirio: “Right!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAt4hD7IPIUb
And just like that, Mirio started running in the direction of the runaways.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAvSpe4mevdd
Momo: “If you leave, then I’ll get out of this one way or the other.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAz2BOQbTF87
Aizawa: “Did you forget there are other villains around?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAZVGiCHjy7a
After saying that, Nejire appeared on the scene, floating over the battlefield like an angel.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAsFLO6eBkrP
Nejire: “Reporting for duty!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAgtK6m7wOGQ
Aizawa: “Keep an eye on this one. Without her, the other two won’t be too much of a problem.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAZZIh5lEc6N
He says while using some eye drops.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAcb0mnLiWN9
Nejire: “Roger!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAl9IjOcHUfj
With that, Aizawa jumped away, building to building, toward the runaways.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAlNaXE9SujA
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.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAilcfxUY81u
The girl looks up at Nejire, who immediately locks eyes with her.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAoKWTCvl3Li
Nejire: “I’m glad I get to guard you; now I get to ask all about your quirk!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAZNgdel71lP
Momo: ‘She really is like Izuku. If so, then this could be my chance… ’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAGO4lSm7ECm
Momo: “I would be happy to explain, but can you explain how Togata’s quirk works first?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAyq0zXmj1Of
Nejire: “Of course! His quirk is so cool, and he worked sooooo hard to master it.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAuYJBOsJ9Gx
Momo: ‘That was easy… ’
89Please respect copyright.PENANABZ6MVIrUKk
Nejire: “His quirk is called Permeation. It allows him to phase through everything, and he can choose which body parts to become phasy.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANACGJ9WmfNKr
Momo: “I see… but that doesn’t explain how he can seemingly teleport.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAGgSFrjNUJq
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?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAvowW0yWwBb
Momo: “I-It is. But I’m sure it has some drawbacks.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA0HRLVpXOP7
The girl with the ever-present smile then frowns.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAhAIxT68hzd
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANACwUm8GfAX9
Momo: “T-That’s-”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA2iF8bZMKQZ
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!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAOewm9H2KjD
Momo: “H-He really did… ”
89Please respect copyright.PENANApskLrF0pY3
Before Momo could think of the implications of such a quirk, Nejire clapped her hands.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA05z7oYMTnY
Nejire: “Now! It’s time for you to explain your quirk; I have so many questions!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAx3o4F1njlp
Momo sighed and prepared to explain what she could.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA7smZAGaBXl
Momo: ‘I hope you two can use this information to your advantage.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAC9nxWpNcj3
89Please respect copyright.PENANAH8po3oBzNc
Todoroki: “Sounds like a counter to you.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAcuPqnwpJV4
Kiri: “Nh.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANABpE5aLUmTt
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAJAiNXBX5bM
Sadly, this only makes their situation even worse.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA78WGYK2ICH
Mirio counters Kiri nearly perfectly, while Aizawa can easily deal with Todoroki.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAuMy4iLe4EE
Kiri: “Need Udders.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA0nMf6nC47h
Todoroki: ‘That’s her nickname?’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAzBUEHNb9Oy
Shaking away that thought, Todoroki nods at the idea.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAQprsAeVE7q
Todoroki: “That’s the only way we can win.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAS7EgyP9WF8
Kiri: “Nh. But first… ”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAA7zJzEos0K
Kiri is still carrying Todoroki, something he doesn’t seem to mind, while running from Aizawa and Mirio.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAmaonLE3m9D
Thankfully, they can’t keep up with her. She could even run straight for the gate, but…
89Please respect copyright.PENANAXYswI1yeWK
Kiri: ‘Can’t leave Udders, not heroic.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAIZbN6gsCdz
So they will have to face them eventually. But how?
89Please respect copyright.PENANAFg5FLuwLEX
Todoroki: “With your quirk, can you control my ice if you’re hit with it? Like with Kanto’s lightning?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAulUtlZXOzh
Kiri: “If flash frozen, no. But can control it otherwise. Idea?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAdTOcFp8AcE
Todoroki: “I think. We just need to make it so Togata can’t come out of the ground safely.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAypc5ICg1oP
Kiri: “Nh. If he is out of the way, I can handle Master Ninja.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAXNf1liQOo3
Todoroki: “How? He’ll erase your quirk.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANANSKKWccGo4
Kiri: “… I’ll be fine.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAU0VvXQb2J8
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAoUfChGtWGQ
With the plan somewhat set and time running out, Kiri turns around.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAVOFxXp38uU
Kiri: “Go.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAMt3u0e2rAv
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAKCt9lQsSH1
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA0JY7U8XMTx
Mirio: “Nice try but-”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAczFkup9Oy3
This, however, Kiri saw coming and already was throwing a punch at Todoroki’s back, just when Mirio would appear.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAFFG9bKU5jq
Mirio: ‘She predicted that I would appear here?!’
89Please respect copyright.PENANA7XMWPBMjIe
Still, this wasn’t a problem. Quickly phasing away, Mirio fell back underground.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAxoWhwDcgei
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAfoz0ljS9PN
Either way, popping back up a few paces backward should-
89Please respect copyright.PENANAfDhehubd12
Mirio: “Cold!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAkSSk4HfmXd
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAzYbEc67Kns
As for Kiri and Todoroki, two things happened.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAXuHxDnJ1fY
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAvpN6WjhpDv
Mirio: “These two are great! I have to catch up!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAGGPxUz8W3F
Phasing underground and popping back to a safer area, Mirio retrieved his pants and followed Kiri.
89Please respect copyright.PENANArf1zgrTOqs
Mirio: “I know Nejire can handle it.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA0KRIslFpWo
89Please respect copyright.PENANAnbTNURwF46
Nejire: “Wow, your quirk is as amazing as I thought and such a strange mutation. Super strength from creation? Quirk sure are strange.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAiNwRPocUdn
Momo: “Yeah… ”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAL60SmjWlXK
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.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAF77I2zT1Bd
Looking down at the caltrops and then at Nejire, the girl calculates her chances.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA11OM9RoGrC
Nejire: “Don’t think about it. I’ve got my eye on you. I’ll destroy any drones you try to make too.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAKRSY6kqOaZ
Momo: “Tch.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAcrZDVWUmtt
There are many ways to get out of this, but none can keep Momo unscathed and fully clothed.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAvgeZ6uf8Qg
Momo: ‘I’m turning out to be the most useless one one the team. If only I didn’t get captured so quickly… ’
89Please respect copyright.PENANA3mYKRRz34K
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAQDajKa40pU
But she knows it won’t be that easy to escape.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAQKy0MR4w5G
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAs7OKN3PwPo
Nejire: “Whoa! Those aren’t real bullets righ-”
89Please respect copyright.PENANArRdLmV681o
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA6RDGRr4zwG
Todoroki: “Yaoyorozu, do you have a-”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAbgpZGVwiye
When he turned around to talk, he was met with the sight of Momo opening the front of her costume to produce several items.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAJlp7iNW1ee
She isn’t turned in his direction, so he hasn’t seen anything, but he still feels the need to turn around.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAKvfpdhatK9
Todoroki: “Plan?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAe2KOTrv6GT
Momo: “Keep them off of me while I make some drones to save-”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAv5A2X1qFq2
Kiri: “No!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAKnuNApBwdA
The two of them hear the girl yell from their earpiece.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAST1SM9mD7T
Kiri: “Escape. Master Ninja on the way. Stuck with Naked Man.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAJC36qH7A1B
Momo: ‘These nicknames, I swear…’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAAkNFPNcGc3
As she thinks that, she hears Todoroki fire off another powerful blast of fire that forces Nejire back behind the glacier.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAZNqpumfoWo
Momo: “Kiri, you sent Todoroki to save me. I won’t leave you behind either.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA4ChjrCeBMC
Kiri: “Not enough time.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANADD2FbUcvLx
Momo: “That’s where your wrong. I have a plan; it’s crazy, but it may work.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAV0JpPFNuSr
Kiri: “… The best kind.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAFZ8eSQiRcn
89Please respect copyright.PENANA10GsiXtcPA
She says that, but Kiri is unable to get away from Mirio right now. Whatever plan Momo has, she better hurry up.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAO4o43f9NLe
Again, Kiri predicts Mirio and tries to counter. But he just phases through everything.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAESdyVDd1SC
Mirio: “Blinding touch: Eye Poke!!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAMV25jxbv1e
Kiri: “Ugh.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAtwGnFC0Q5o
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAt4ZX3xxOKH
Mirio: “Wow! You really are tough for a first year.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAHilWICBK46
Kiri: “Cheap.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAiNQnhS5wGT
She says while rubbing her eyes.
89Please respect copyright.PENANATLZMSSBMT0
Mirio: “Hey, I am trying to play the villain here.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAlTFgA71MO1
Kiri tries to escape once more, but again Mirio predicts her movement and appears in front of her.
89Please respect copyright.PENANABA8fqOsw2W
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAyXZW7KjJVT
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!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA1sKnKPsM3z
Kiri: ‘Poor villain laugh.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANASE8JVNNDDg
But it’s not like he is wrong. The trio is cornered. But…
89Please respect copyright.PENANAZjPBqnQdKw
Kiri: “I trust Momo’s plan.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA9VzHjXgxyC
Mirio: “Right, I heard you talking to her on the earpiece. Excellent idea to have those on hand from the start!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA9Cnw7MAtbi
Kiri: “Nh. Good foresight, that’s why-”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAW29VUDwXf6
As she says that, several drones appear behind her, emerging from the skyline.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAoeaCUmULKq
Kiri: “She’s a good partner.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAXo2oupR8hC
The drones unleash everything they have on the area around Kiri, preventing Mirio from getting close.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAotlWTLr6mb
Mirio: “Nice try. But I can just phase through and just unphase my hand to hit you.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAjQLoFkIgGb
Kiri: “Yes, but I won’t move this time.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAsmX9v9eCSs
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAjK1hGwa34z
Mirio: “Heh, nice!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAstBiIJ2Pub
It was then that one of the drones stopped firing and dropped a bulky package over Kiri’s head.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA7VSzb7pQ8x
Seeing this, Kiri jumps up and catches it.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAFcrFIZVPe5
Momo: “It’s a jetpack, Kiri. Wear it and get over here!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAGXfh0wHqrJ
Kiri smiles, equips the devices before falling back to the ground, and presses the obvious red button.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAabqAUphwTZ
Kiri: “W-Whoa… ”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAJRGICf0AGd
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANACijLoa0ITC
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAUSHBxA4sJB
With him gone, the drones stop firing and follow Kiri to the warzone.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA1Qf8PWWA7I
89Please respect copyright.PENANAjGJDyFAQiY
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAp8z8CgwiUu
Various rubber guns, barricades, cannons, flash grenades, bombs, and drones.
89Please respect copyright.PENANATqF1MWQPem
And if he erases her quirk, Todoroki will fortify their position with ice or fire at Nejire.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAMXL6jZkcoo
Aizawa: ‘A living armory indeed.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAAbTgvzJQbG
But this was only delaying the inevitable. Even if Kiri came back, Mirio wouldn’t be far behind, and that would spell the end.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAV60mRPJAwT
If not that, then the time limit, which was quickly reaching zero.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAIKpiSoZk6C
Aizawa: ‘What will you do now?’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAsHHIl4YYjo
He thinks while avoiding gunfire while destroying drones and edging closer to their position.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA1h8slKBo7y
Nejire: “Wow, her quirk is crazy! And fun! I haven’t had to really move like this in a while.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAqnXGhn6yH1
The fun came from having to fly around dodging gunfire while destroying as many drones as possible.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAdm3nmPvZ0k
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANARdbkFKgC33
However, the teacher-student duo was slowly breaking through their defenses. That was until Kiri came in.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAtAzQWIaIMB
89Please respect copyright.PENANA70MPzNab13
It didn’t take long for Kiri to arrive on the scene, but she didn’t know what to do to help.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA1Zyy81n9FB
Momo: “Kiri, draw Aizawa closer to us. I’ll open a weakness in our defenses, then…”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAgHnwLlzMTM
Kiri nodded along with the rest of the plan. They would have to be quick, but it could work.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAoYEtr1zvf4
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAnQj7yYg1L4
Kicking off the air under her feet, she hurls the two makeshift weapons at her two targets.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAOdskbTBoJV
Making sure to do so at the right time and angle.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAm6pgfv33Jd
89Please respect copyright.PENANANGMiLA01Qg
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAyQATxs9rLY
But she was already gone, probably punching the air above her to quickly return to the ground.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAV8Sw2g1Dj5
Momo: “Kiri! You threw it too hard!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAErkxqgFISU
Aizawa turns around to see that the spear had blown a hole right through Momo’s defenses. Heck, even her weapon caches were destroyed.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAujXHbAJTfD
Aizawa: “Huge demerits for lack of teamwork. Hado!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAj0dKdsGRFr
Nejire: “Got it!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAojYyjzePtf
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA1IpnVPsmNE
Momo: “Tch!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA9qq8qDVtGY
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAQQlUExDd2S
But due to the rapidly approaching teacher, his aim seemed to be off, and he missed.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAgOGs17q91n
Aizawa: “Losing your cool?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANATzD0Sly7Zn
Momo: “Run! We need to find cover! He can’t erase what he can’t see!”

The two abandoned their position and started running. But Aizawa was much too fast.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA71epqqUNif
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAE6vJjbbgDd
She quickly turned around and fired. The cloth surrounded Aizawa in the air.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA6qhW9Kg8nO
Aizawa: ‘Trying to trip me up?’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4BBPohxRL
Momo: “Now, Todoroki! Shoot heat along the ground!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAepGErHfYs3
The boy attempted to do so, but Aizawa saw the play and negated his quirk in time.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAEtmttVR6Ub
Aizawa: “Nitinol alloy? Should have used a flash grenade first.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAcaJNe2cRNs
Momo: “Didn’t need to.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAOf2JO32mbf
She says while creating a large fire-resistant shield for her and Todoroki.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAMxzPFXBqoI
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAKrX7ajGw7i
Kiri: “Not only ninja.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAIoYJdrascB
She managed to sneak past Nejire, making it in time to accomplish the last step of the plan.
89Please respect copyright.PENANA8RWv8WyZTJ
Aizawa: “Heh…”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAotQyNLPhYX
Aizawa: ‘So she used the same technique she used against Kanto, absorbing Todoroki’s flame. Even if it meant burning her hand.’
89Please respect copyright.PENANAPlXv73Tvuv
The nitinol alloy snapped back to its original state thanks to the heat, trapping Aizawa, causing him to fall to the ground.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAjG6Vkj9hs1
However, the test wasn’t done yet.
89Please respect copyright.PENANACW48k76G5z
Momo: “Quick, we have to handcuff him.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAitKczkiqXD
She drops the shield and rushes the downed teacher alongside her teammates but-
89Please respect copyright.PENANAfyRRGPmxZA
Nejire: “Sensei!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAIDGA5qAQRu
Mirio: “Surprise!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAeVWhO0X5k9
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAV1FOqlMrBL
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAoCXL6AG26a
Momo: ‘I can do this! One For All, 5%!’
89Please respect copyright.PENANA6iCUKZrBEJ
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANALXHkf0Twn3
Mirio: “Huh?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAxmSPWVJZ7f
Free to do what she needed, she took the handcuffs and quickly captured Aizawa for good this time.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAJnEWqdsQPW
Recovery Girl: “Group 4 has passed!! With only a few seconds to spare too.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAoC3TSoMY6j
They had done it.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAUdd68kfTNR
Momo: “YES!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAZFLdiI0UGx
Todoroki took a breath and leaned against the nearby wall.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAI663airw17
Mirio: “Well done! The principal wasn’t kidding; you three are probably the strongest group here.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAt9MfUebCiP
Nejire: “Maybe even the next big three!?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAfavTf09C9L
Momo: “I don’t know, if your third member didn’t stay at the gate, we wouldn’t have won.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA2kbvTCxnlp
She says while falling to the ground from mental and physical exhaustion.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAT171jXgAKQ
Nejire: “Yeah, shame Tamaki couldn’t show off. But I guess he would have been overkill. His quirk is even stronger than ours.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAxdDOM0OPlw
Momo: “R-Really? Then I’m glad I gave up on going to the gate.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAKaD5uI7Xwv
Kiri: “Nh.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAQN0dGHNjCl
Momo turns to Kiri, who is holding her burnt arm and shaking off the rubble.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAlxwnOjySYa
Momo: “Are you alright?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAYEoB6eB7di
Kiri: “Will heal.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAgQ06rZ2FLn
Aizawa: “You should still go to Recovery Girl.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANATl9SG67xCG
Kiri: “Alright.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA17VJMp78rA
Mirio: “Now that the test is over, there is one thing I’m confused about, sensei.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAryWBlOhtNL
Aizawa: “What is it?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAyxDtBhPpNr
Mirio: “Why did you run from Tae? Couldn’t you have erased her quirk and defeated her like usual?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAjynzNe7Ug1
Kiri and Momo tensed from that line of questioning. Worse still, Todoroki was looking over in curiosity as well.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAdDPL55vB9g
Nejire: “Yeah, that was strange. It’s not like you.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAGJlpEWc4Nx
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAMBySBFJV79
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.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAbC16jLrInR
So with that in mind, there’s no way he’ll expose her.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAtpf2DdPSkE
Aizawa: “Kiri’s internship training made her a pain to deal with. I also wanted to further separate the three of them.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAQRwBAfOBAF
Mirio: “Ah! That makes sense.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA87pKA7njFj
Nejire: “Wow, who did you intern with?!”
89Please respect copyright.PENANASEDr4ycB6w
Kiri: “Super Master Ninja.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA8J3kFdsZP0
Momo: “She means Edgeshot.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANALivHUYcn58
Nejire: “Oh!? That does explain how I didn’t see her going for sensei.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAVKOWCr2NcT
Aizawa: “Okay, that’s enough talking. It’s almost time for the next match.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANABhnZKtcajM
He says while casually getting out of the nitinol alloy.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAu3d3SVA9QV
Momo: “Huh?! Wait… how-”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAN2LScTnDWl
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.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANA5TvcF7I2Zs
Momo: “Oh… that is good.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAmHRttpouE7
Meanwhile, Kiri goes up to Mirio.
89Please respect copyright.PENANAqaHsLlDg7J
Mirio: “What is it?”
89Please respect copyright.PENANAAbIoIx6hb1
Kiri: “Watch the next match closely; onii is the one who will become the number 1 hero.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANADTiIEzBJ1F
Mirio: “Really? Then I’m looking forward to it. I’ve heard a lot about him.”
89Please respect copyright.PENANADa1FUkksD2
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.
