My Hot Ice Prince (Todoroki x reader)

Chapter 13

Y/N'S POV

During the next couple of weeks we'll be training for the sports festival, Endeavor has made it clear that I can't train with Shoto, and even took him away somewhere so he can keep training, he doesn't let Shoto use his phone and I have no way to contact him. We knew this was coming but it's only for 2 weeks so we'll be fine, but the only way for me to train my quirk is to use it on someone.

Yesterday on our last day of school, I talked with Aizawa sensei before going to lunch with Shoto, he agreed to help me train, and so today on our first day of training, I'm heading for UA once more. Once I get there, I find Aizawa sensei talking with Midnight, apparently she is gonna help me train as well, which makes sense because he is still healing his injuries from the USJ fight.

The three of us move to the gym and Midnight asks "I hear you're a swordswoman but what can you do with your quirk?"

"I can't do much actually, my sword absorbs the power I can't control, so I can only trap people in darkness and take away their senses once I scratch them with it."

"That's an amazing quirk to fight at close range, but what can you do at long range?" I stay silent, I don't have any long ranged attacks "You have great potential, you have a defensive quirk but combined with your sword skills, it also becomes a great offensive power, you just need to fully learn how to use it" I listen carefully to Midnight as I try to come up with a long ranged type of attack.

"Y/n" Mr. Aizawa says my name "What is darkness to you?"

"Darkness.." that's a good question "It's the absence of light".

"You think so?" he asks, he is trying to tell me that there is more to it that what I thought "Remember when Midnight said it was a great defensive quirk? You don't actually use it for defence, even though every fight starts at long range before you can cut the distance between you and the person you're fighting."

He is right, I don't use my quirk to defend myself and I don't have long ranged attacks even though a fight almost always starts at long range "Y/n, I'll make it very simple" Midnight speaks again "Imagine you're fighting Todoroki, he mostly uses long ranged attacks, how would you defend against his ice with your quirk?"

"I have no way to defend myself with my quirk, I'd just try to use my sword to cut down his ice."

"You think it's your sword that cuts down his ice?" I stay silent once more "What if he used his fire side then?" Aizawa sensei asks.

"I'd try to dodge" they keep staring at me without saying a word "I get it, I'm useless and weak compared to him" I start feeling down and I look away from them. How could I ever even dream of winning against Shoto?

"Let's train, fight me the same way you always do, try to scratch me."

It's been three days since I started practicing with Midnight and Aizawa, I haven't been able to scratch any of them even once, all that happens is me getting my ass kicked again and again. No wonder Endeavor doesn't want his son anywhere near me, I'm so weak that I even laugh at how pathetic I am.

I'm on my way home after being beaten up again, why did they even agree to help me practice if I'm not even strong enough to scratch them and use my quirk. I keep sighing as I walk home alone, I miss Shoto, I haven't seen or talked to him ever since the last day of school, I wish he was here with me, but if I keep going like this then Endeavor will never approve me and I'll never be able to have a future with him.

"Y/n?!" the sound of someone calling for me saves me from my thoughts and I look around to see who called for me.

"Kirishima!!" I wave happily at my friend.
