08-To Get Stronger

You and Denki walked for about 40 minutes before reaching your training spot.

Mr. Aziawa sent you two out far so your quirks could be used at full capacity, and so you wouldn't have to worry about injuring anyone.

There were training buildings everywhere near campus. The one you and Denki were sent to was an open roof, that way you could use your sky attack.

"Wow!" Denki said as you two stepped in. It wasn't very special, just a field of grass with a dome around it, but Denki always seemed so happy over the smallest things.

You set your training bag down near the door and started stretching. Usually your muscles heal in about 4 hours but they were still sore, but not too bad. Denki sat down next to you, his face had a nervous look on it.

"You okay?" you asked.

"Yeah I'm fine, " he laughed out. "I guess i'm just nervous, weren't you the strongest in your school?"

You smile and stand up. You reach for his hand and pull him up next to you.

"That doesn't matter, I still have a lot I need to work and improve on. Doing this will make us both stronger!" you say patting his head.

He nodded and you both walk out into the middle of the area. You checked the forecast this morning and there was supposed to be storms around 2, so you were all set. (Making storms takes up a lot of your energy, so you try to avoid it as much as you can.)

You both agreed to start out with small attacks, and only move upward if the other person can handle it. You didn't want to hurt him too bad, that's not what this is for.

"Ready?" he screamed from the other side.

You hold up a thumbs up and immediately start to store the lighting into your body. You only take a bit in, just enough to shoot a couple bolts.

Denki takes the first shot. He lifts his hand and flicks a electricity strike out to you. You counterattack it by sending a bolt right into it. His path was blocked, so it fizzed out and died.

You take the next shot, you run to the left to catch him off guard, and then spring up in the air flying to the right. You send a medium sized bolt aiming right at him. He dodged it barely, but the bolt still caught the edge of his shoe.

Denki and you both manipulated electricity, but they were a different kind so neither of you was immune to the others attacks. He gritted his teeth, and you could tell that the tiny touch on his shoe sent your attack through his body.

Suddenly, he sends multiple bursts of tiny electric bullets. You dodge them and block them with your own bolts until you realize you ran out of energy.

'Shit shit shit, I should have stored more.'

One of his bullets nick your shoulder and you groan at the stinging sensation throughout your body. You jump as high as you can and start to absorb. You take in about half of your capacity when you see Denki shoot a massive strike at you.

You were in the air, so you couldn't dodge. At the last second, you send a sky attack down completely destroying Denki's attack and even sending a shock wave into his body. You land and you could hear your pulse beating in your ears. You assumed that the attack Denki sent you just then was one of his larger attacks, so you decided to use yours next. You waited for the smoke to disappear from you bolt and got ready to dodge. But when the smoke cleared, he was gone.

You knew where he was, but it was too late. You felt a hand on your back and suddenly you dropped to your knees from agonizing pain. Your whole body shook from the direct impact, and you let out a scream. But, you managed to send a bolt outward, creating distance between you two.
