《Water and Ice | Shoto Todoroki》Chapter 19-An Icy Catastrophe
Advertisement
As I expected, he started off with an ice blast. I easily dodged it tried to counter with my own blast of ice. It didn't really go in one direction, but more formed around me.
"You're getting better with your ice." He said.
I shrugged.
He sent another blast and I dodged again. I increased the moisture in the air and it make it so it was foggy. He couldn't see me.
"You should really use your fire." I said as I appeared behind him.
He started to turn around, but I was faster. I sent him off balance with a blast of water and then froze him.
"I could burn this whole forest down." He said as he melted my ice.
"And I could put it out." I responded.
I heard an explosion off in the distance.
"I feel bad for whoever Bakugo's partner is." I said.
Todoroki nodded. He had unfrozen himself.
"Again." He said.
We both got into position again. He started with another ice blast, it was faster than the one before. I met it with my own ice blast. This time it was more directed at him. He tried freezing me again, but I was smarter. I jumped and used my clouds to propel me forward. I twisted in the air and ripped off a piece of ice from his blast. I landed behind him and he turned around as I regained my balance. I held the sharp ice shard to his neck.
"When did you learn acrobatics?" He asked.
"At least I'm utilizing all of my quirk." I countered.
He narrowed his eyes.
"You really want me to use my fire?" He asked.
"I'm giving this my all, I think you should too. Besides, it's already two to zero. You'd better pick up the pace if you want to beat me." I told him.

"Fine. Let's go again." He said.
I retreated back to my original position.
Once again he started with an ice attack, but this time it wasn't aimed directly at me. There were two walls of ice formed on either side of us. I guess he didn't want me dodging what was coming.
Suddenly, he sent a blast of fire at me. I didn't think he had listened to what I said, but this wall of fire was headed directly for me. I made a split decision and sent a blast of water to counter. The air around us hissed as the two elements collided. The fire roared stronger, but so did my water. We both kept at it, but neither of us gained the upper hand.
"You're getting...stronger..." Todoroki said through clenched teeth.
"Same...to you..." I responded while trying not to lose focus.
I started to lose strength. The fire advanced inch by inch. I knew I couldn't take any more of this. My water faltered and I quickly put up a wall of ice to stop the fire from burning me. I heard the roaring flames die down and tried to take deep breaths.
"Are you ok y/n?" Todoroki called over the ice.
"Y-Yeah. I just need a little break." I tried to be heard over the icy wall.
I sank to my knees and tried to control my breathing. I heard leaves crunching as he walked around the wet and icy mess we had made. I saw him turn around the corner.
"You might have won this one, but you won't ever again."

Horizon
Emiluna is about to turn 16 and gain access to her first two classes. Living in a small village in the middle of nowhere, she always wanted to become a Hunter. Having learned a bit under her parents, a miller and a seamstress, she was sure she could never pick a class that meant staying inside all day. But being a Hunter is more than just a class. It means providing meat for the village, culling small pests near the cultivated fields and most importantly guarding the village from predators and monsters. But Emiluna is not a normal girl and her destiny far bigger than she could have ever imagined.Join her as she finds out what awaits just behind the horizon.[Word from the author]I am looking to create a fantasy world that has some logic to it and stays believable even as characters gain power and progress in levels.Classes and level quantify the people's progress, but they do not artificially inflate their power to demi-god levels. I am primarily trying to write a captivating story, not "power-porn". That means it will be slower than the fast burning litRPG you might be used to, but it won't burn out that quickly either and I won't drop half of my plots at the wayside. I should mention that English is not my native language. I hope it is mostly unnoticeable, but sometimes I manage to slip some awkard sentence structure in there (German sometimes puts things together in reverse).It it also my first time writing an actual fantasy novel and the first time writing anything at length in English. Any constructive feedback is very welcome.Credit where credit is due: Cover picture by Paul Bica (Licensed under CC 2.0)Check out his amazing photos here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/dexxusYes, my cover picture is a photo, not a drawing. :D I might try my hand at some Paint-ification later to add the title.[participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]

This is a story I wrote when I was fifteen. I'm twenty-two. I decided to post this piece hoping it'll help inspire people to finish their story. The point of a rough draft is to barf words onto the screen. It's not suppose to be pretty. It's suppose to be finished.
