The ice shards pierced my skin. I clenched my teeth but didn't give up. Surprisingly, the fact that Bakugo was able to get to me actually made me want to win more.

The explosions stopped and I let my barriers fall.

"Is that all you got? I'm still standing." I provoked him.

He gave an evil smile.

"I knew you were strong, but I didn't think you were this strong. That was a full force explosion, it could've easily killed someone." He chuckled.

I narrowed my eyes at him.

"So you were TRYING to kill me?" I asked.

"No, not really. I knew you would put up protection so I didn't bother holding back. I thought it would injure you though." He responded.

I tried to take a step forward but winced.

"So you are injured, eh?" He smirked.

"By my own ice. Not you." I glared at him, not wanting him to have the satisfaction of being able to hurt me

"And what caused the ice to hurt you like that?" He raised his eyebrows.

I rolled my eyes but didn't respond.

"Do you need to go to Recovery Girl?" Todoroki asked as he came around his own wall of ice.

"No I'm fine. Just give me a second to get the pieces out." I sighed.

They both stood and watched me as I concentrated. The pieces of ice slowly started to fall out as I controlled them to do so. I finished and let them drop to the ground.

"Did you just control that ice?" Todoroki asked.

"Uh, yeah. That's my quirk." I wiped some blood off my face.

"No, I mean...You controlled it, made it float out. Do you create it and control it?" He asked.

"Yes...?" I was kind of confused.

He shook his head.

"Never mind. I'm thinking too much into it." He said.

"No kidding Icyhot. She should know her own quirk." Bakugo spoke up.

I just shrugged.

"Again?" I asked.

They both nodded.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"W-What was that?" I tried to steady my breathing.

"A little something new I learned." Todoroki answered.

I sat down on a log in an attempt to catch my breath.

"Very powerful." I remarked.

I fought back a wave of nausea, slightly disappointed at my defeat. Bakugo stood off to the side.

"Icyhot finally won one." Bakugo commented.

I nodded.

"Nice job." I congratulated him.

Todoroki just nodded in acknowledgment. I checked the time.

"It's getting pretty late, we should head back." I said.

"Where exactly is back?" Todoroki asked.

I looked around and suddenly realized how far we had gone into the forest.

"Uh...let me check." I replied.

I floated up on a cloud. I looked and saw the school not too far away. I came back down.

"It's this way." I pointed in the direction of the school.

They nodded and we started walking back. We reached the school, and spent a few minutes trying to find the dorms.

"Here we are." I said as we found the building.

We went inside and saw a few people hanging out in the common room.

"You guys were gone for a LONG time." Mina said.

I shrugged.

"Where's everyone else?" I asked.

"They're all busy fixing up their dorms. We got back earlier so we already finished." Tsu answered.

I nodded and headed upstairs to my dorm. I went inside and saw my box was set to the side.

"Guess it's time to decorate."
