Chapter 44

"It's not your parent's quirks separated, they actually did combine into a new quirk. But without the proper knowledge of what it is, you're straining yourself when you create things with your ice, thus causing your body to start turning into ice- and don't ask how I know about that drawback, I saw it in your student file when looking to request your internship."


"Then, what is my actual quirk?" Ayano asked.


"You're actual quirk is Ice Manipulation."
_____________________________________________


"Ice Manipulation? You have got to be kidding me. I would of figured that out way earlier than this if my quirk were different." Ayano said, in disbelief of what Blind Side was saying.


"Sometimes people have to change what their quirk is registered as when they grow older and find out their quirk is different than what they thought it to be. It's hard to know what someone's quirk is at first glance, trust me, only an intensive education would allow someone to tell a quirk just by one fight." Blind Side explained.


"So, how can you tell?" Ayano asked, the disbelief starting to wear off slightly.


"Before I could become a hero, my parents forced me to study quirkology, in hopes that that would diminish my dream." She laughed slightly, "If anything, that just made me want to be a hero more and encounter more quirks personally. But, for you, when you were rushing at me for that final blow, I noticed how the club of ice around your fist molded itself into that shape," she nodded towards Ayano's hand that still had the claw of ice. "Almost like it had a mind of it's own. But I knew that wasn't the case. Try to manipulate it into something else."


Ayano lifted her hand with the ice and stared at it for a minute. She narrowed her eyes as she started intently at it.


"No, no. You're too tense. Think when you're activating your quirk-"


"I don't really activate it, my skins always freezing so it just freezes whatever it touches. The only thing that I really activate are the rings on my gloves that open up and allow my bare skin to touch whatever I want to freeze." Ayano explained.


"Ah- well then, how do you create the things out of ice?" Blind Side asked.


Ayano shrugged. "It only happens when I'm desperate. I don't know what I feel, it's just quick thinking and whatever I needed at the time."


"This might be more difficult than I thought." Blind Side muttered, "Alright then- that's your mission Ayano. By the end of this week I want you to be able to use your Ice Manipulation!"


Ayano looked at her, a grin slowly spreading across her face. "Mission accepted, Blind Side!"


Blind Side mirrored the smile that was on Ayano's face. "Good answer, Frostbite! You are dismissed, I'll have one of my sidekicks escort you to your sleeping quarters, alright?"


"Okay. Thank you for everything- Blind Side." Ayano said, giving the pro a slight bow. Turning to leave the room, Ayano banged her hand that had the ice against the door, hearing the cracking and thumps as it fell to the ground.


"You're Frostbite, correct?" Someone asked, and Ayano looked up, seeing a plump man with a smiling face looking at her. "Nice to meet you, I'm Darkeye! I'll be showing you to the sleeping quarters." He held out his hand and Ayano reached up to shake it.


"Please to meet you too." Ayano said.


"Now, follow me!" He said- a bit too happily.


"Okay..." Ayano answered holding back a yawn, realizing how tired she actually was from the days events.


The two of them walked through the hall silently, Darkeye having a little jump to his step as he hummed quietly. Ayano made an attempt of memorizing where they were going, but her tired brain made it hard for her to retain any of the scenery. She might have to ask someone in the morning for directions, from the outside, the building didn't look this big.


When they finally stopped, Darkeye turned around and looked at Ayano with a wide smile. "Just past this door is the female sleeping quarters, you'll be sleeping here for the week. Well, I'll be off- I'd love to stay and chat, but you look pretty wiped out. Sleep well!" With that, he walked off and Ayano walked forwards, grabbing the handle of the door and turning it, seeing a couple of the sidekicks she trained with earlier sitting in their beds or getting ready for bed.


"Oh! Frostbite. I see you made your way here- Your bed is right here." A sidekick that Ayano trained with earlier in the day said, pointing towards a bed in the corner of the room.


"Thanks." Ayano said, walking towards it before realizing something. "Oh- is this normal materials?" She asked, not wanting to end up freezing the whole building complex.


"Don't worry about that! Miss Blind Side made sure to get the unfreezing materials you needed! She's really considerate, she even allowed all the sidekicks that don't have houses, or places to live stay in the complex!" The side kick exclaimed.


"Yeah. If it weren't for her... I would be on the streets." Bulls Eye. Stated, twirling her hair and not meeting Ayano's eye. "She might be hard to read sometimes, but everything she does is for a reason."


"Really?" Ayano asked tiredly. "She seems really nice."


"She is- but we won't keep you up talking about how great Blind Side is. You look like you're halfway to death."


Ayano sighed in relief, she really was tired. "Thanks. We can maybe talk tomorrow." She gave the two a smile before she started to get ready for bed.


After changing out of her hero costume and into her pajamas, Ayano made her way to where her assigned bed was. Getting up and sitting on the bed, Ayano slipped off her slippers and placed them gently on the floor. Getting under the covers and looking at the ceiling above her, she took a deep breath, letting it out as she closed her eyes. It didn't take long before she fell asleep.
