Think, Momo. Think of a way to get out of this situation. With one ear injured, Jiro can't use her sound attacks to the fullest. In that case, should we break the wall to escape…? No, our opponents probably already have something prepared for such a simple move. For now, we need to do something about the air conditioning. Can I make clay to seal off the vents? From what I can see, there are eight vents. I would end up using a lot of my quirk, but right now, that's all I can do…!

I prepared my creation, but…then I stopped.

"What's wrong, Yaomomo? Why did you stop your creation?" Jirou asked me.

"NO matter how many times I think about it, I get the same answer. Our opponents are trying to get me to use up my quirk."

"They're trying to make you use up your quirk?" Shoji asked.

"Yes. In their plan, the most uncertain factor is my creation. At first, I thought their manipulation of the air conditioning was for Asui's quirk. But their true goal was to make me use my quirk."

"I see," said Shoji. "They were planning to march in calmly after making your quirk useless, huh?"

"Yes. That's why I cannot use my quirk right now. I must save it for when the need truly arises."

"But if we stay holed up here, then we'll fail the provisional licensing exam!" said Jiro. "We should force our way through."

"I'm sure our opponents have predicted that that's what we will do," Shoji told her.

"Then what are you suggesting?!" she demanded, shivering. She was in pain…at times like this, what would Todoroki do? Or Iida? Or Midoriya?Midoriya back in Camino, saying "I don't know either…but after hearing that I could still reach, I couldn't just sit still. I can't help thinking that I want to save him!"

That's right. I have to save them. Shoji, Jiro and Asui. Forget about the provisional exam. Focus on these three. In order to do that…

Jiro's ear…Jiro's earphone jacks…

I need -

The yaoyorictionary.

"Everyone! Please bear with the current conditions for a few minutes." I opened my shirt.

"YAOMOMO!" cried Jirou.

"Please, take these," I told them as I dropped my new headphone creations on the ground.

"What, headphones?" said Jiro.

"It's the first time I'm making this device," I told them, "But its structure is not that complicated. I'll save just enough lipids to move, and make it as big - as big as possible!"

Jirou gasped. "This is - "

I felt exhausted as my lipid stock dissolved and my creation came to be.

Jirou knew what to do, without my having to ask. The second the machine came into being, she nodded, and as I put my headphones on, she plugged her jack into the amplifier.

"Even with headphones on, I can feel it through my body," she cried.

"Are you all right, Asui?" Shoji called. I could hear them through a haze.

"Everyone, please bear with it for seven more seconds! Six, five, four, three two, one!"

We threw open the doors and saw a group of students in uniforms on the ground. "All right, it worked!" said Jiro, giving me a thumbs of breath, I told them with a smile, "Put your balls in the targets."

"Can you move?" Shoji asked Asui as she stood up, conscious again.

"I'm fine," she said.

"I'm glad," I smiled - then -

An arm pulled me back into the room and the door slammed.

"Yaomomo!" called Jiro.

I was on the ground and could barely move. Another girl in a uniform with long silver hair had locked the door.

"You used your quirk for attacking rather than defending," she said. "I can't believe someone from the elite UA would choose a method with such high risk. But because of that, you can't move now. Even if I can only get you, I'll have you fail!" She wore a monocle. She looked serious. She approached me.

You can't give up. Show the results of the intensive training at the camp, Momo! And I created - with what little I had - a handcuff. And cuffed us together.

"You're struggling in vain!" she screamed.

The doors slammed open and a long tongue grabbed her hand before she could tap me.

"Wha -" she called.

"Everyoe!" I gasped.

"Why did you come back?" she called out. "Didn't you think she failed already? Right now, we're in the middle of the licensing exam. You should be thinking of yourselves, not your friends!"

"That may be how you roll, but not us," said Jirou.

"We won't leave our friend behind," said Tsu.

"And we don't give up," added Shoji.

"That's how we at Class 1A are!" I told her.

She glared, then sighed, and softened, and looked away. "You defeated me completely…"

The ball she would have taken me out with rolled away.

Jirou and Asui led me out, helping me move. I'd taken out my own opponents. We were halfway there. All of us - had passed the first round of the provisional license exam.
