MHA : QUIRK EVOLUTION

"I don't want to waste any more time!"

Todoroki Shoto said in a low voice. White gas began to pour out of his hand. In the next moment, he waved his hand, and the white gas spread to the ground.

"Ha!"

With a loud shout, huge ice spikes shot up from the ground, quickly covering almost the entire arena. The temperature dropped dramatically.

Everyone froze in place, as it was rare to see someone go all out so quickly.

"Wow, he's so strong! Todoroki Shoto went all out right from the start. Has Ezaki Kitazawa already lost? It's still hard to say," Present Mic commented.

"Is it a one-hit win?"

"Looks like it. The boy from out of nowhere hasn't moved."

"Ugh, if that's the case, how boring. It's over before it even started."

"Where's the exciting showdown we were promised? How did it turn out like this?"

"Well, it's not surprising. He's the son of No. 2 professional hero, after all. His strength is naturally on another level. Ordinary students can't compare."

...

"Ha? No... it can't be over this quickly!" Ryukyu's assistant looked disappointed.

Ryukyu, however, kept her eyes fixed on the massive ice spikes without saying a word. On the other side, Endeavor wore a baffling smile, as if saying, "See? This is the difference."

...

"Whoosh!"

Todoroki Shoto kept his eyes locked on the pile of ice spikes in front of him, breathing out cold air, with a thin layer of ice already covering the right half of his body.

Todoroki Shoto's Quirk, 'Half-Cold Half-Hot.'

The right side of his body generates cold air, while the left side produces flames. The range and temperature are unknown, but he can instantly freeze an entire building or disable a large group of enemies with a single strike. His power is incredibly strong.

However, the downside is that he can't keep using the same ability for too long, or it will cause frostbite or burns. Clearly, he's only using the cold side of his Quirk now, and if he continues to use it without switching to the fire side, he risks freezing his right side.

If we compare Ezaki Kitazawa's Quirk with Todoroki Shoto's, Ezaki Kitazawa's is clearly superior.

Ezaki Kitazawa's Quirk has almost no downsides. He can use his Netherworld Flame Quirk until his physical strength runs out with no side effects. In fact, he even gains experience, which allows him to evolve.

"Is it over?"

After about ten seconds of silence, Todoroki Shoto guessed.

But just then, there was a cracking sound from the huge ice spikes, and the next second, they split open.

Then, with a shout from Todoroki, Vines shot out, forming a path.

"Step, step, step!"

At that moment, muffled footsteps echoed through the path.

A few seconds later, Ezaki Kitazawa's figure reappeared in everyone's sight.

At this moment, the audience burst into loud cheers again.

"Ah, you really scared me there!" Ezaki Kitazawa joked.

Todoroki Shoto, with a serious expression, looked at Ezaki Kitazawa and said calmly, "I was thinking too simply. I thought I could control you with this."

Ezaki Kitazawa smiled, "Well then, it's time for me to counterattack."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ezaki Kitazawa waved his hand, and countless Vines shot out from the ground in front of him, surging toward Todoroki Shoto like a tidal wave.

"You know this won't work on me. You saw during the race that my ice can instantly freeze your Vines," Todoroki Shoto said confidently, releasing a large amount of cold air from his hand.

"Ha!"

The white gas spread out, instantly freezing the Vines that were rushing toward him.

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, the ice covering the right side of Todoroki Shoto thickened a little.

Although the Vines heading toward him were frozen, Todoroki Shoto didn't expect that Ezaki Kitazawa had already moved behind him.

"It doesn't matter if that doesn't work. My goal is to get behind you."

Hearing this, Todoroki Shoto's pupils contracted sharply. He twisted his stiff neck to look behind him, but just then, Ezaki Kitazawa kicked him into the air.

Once again, loud cheers rang out from the audience.

Todoroki Shoto kept using his cold Quirk to create ice barriers, trying to stop himself, and soon beads of sweat started forming on his face.

"How's that for a kick?" Ezaki Kitazawa asked.

Todoroki Shoto didn't answer. The ice on his right side had spread so much from the earlier use that it was almost covering his face.

If he doesn't use his fire Quirk soon, he will definitely lose.
