C4: My quirk is pretty Cool

I would like to think I'm pretty mature and chill for a kid but its hard to see that when I'm currently vibrating from excitement in the backseat of the car.

Afterall, I just got my QUIRK!

It all started this morning when I woke up from bed feeling a bit cold. I didn't forget to close the windows in my room and its almost summer so usualy the mornings for me are just at the right temperature. Groggily sitting up, I noticed that my bedsheets are a bit stiff, finally opening my eyes from sleep, I saw that my bedsheets are covered in thin layers of ice.

At stared at it for a bit trying to figure out what's going on until it clicked. I slowly held my hands up and concentrate, trying to force something to come out but nothing is happening. My excitment is finally catching up to me so I calmed my self down.

'breeth Touya breeth, in and out, in and out.'

'this is your first time doing something like this so take it slow.'

'breeth in and out, in and out.'

I held my hands up again and focused, imaging a small droplet of ice forming in the palm of my hand then I felt a small breeze in it. Making sure to keep my excitement in check to not break concentration, a small droplet of ice formed in my hand. I stared at it for a while then I finally let out a victorious cheer.

"Hell Yeah! I got my quirk! WOOOHOOO!"

I was jumping all over, and you cant blame me for acting childish. Afterall, there were no such things as superpowers or quirks from my previous world and finaly having such power will make any person scream out and cheer for joy.

I run downstairs to the kitchen to show my mom but I didn't expect her reaction to be subdued. Ofcourse she was happy for me but there is a bit of sadness in her eyes, which she quickly shoke away.

I noticed but I'm still riding high in excitement from getting my quirk so I'll think about it later.

Fuyumi is clearly more hyper than my mom asking questions here and there and shaking me to show her.

So I made a small droplet of ice in my hand. Its surprisingly easier the second time, having made it in just a few seconds. So this time I concentrated and imagined making something more intricate. Slowly a small figure of a comically and cartoonish bear formed in my hands.

That got Fuyumi to squeel in excitement saying how amazing I am and how cute the bear is. Mom complemented me too saying how easily I got to form something out of nothing. It takes time and practice but for someone so young like me with a newly awakened quirk even, accomplished something only people with lots of experience can do.

With that episode this morning, finishing my breakfast and mom calling school to explain my absence for the day, we are going to the hospital to get my cheek-up.

So here I am, looking forward to the hospital so I can experiment and play around with my quirk.

__--@--__

When we got to the hospital, we didn't wait long because my mother called in earlier so we where quickly led to a room where children would usually test their quirks.

"Good morning kiddo! how are you today?"

Dr. Saiba, who is in charge of me asked this qustion with a big smile on her face. She is quite the energetic fellow considering she's old enough to be my grandmother.

"I'm good Saiba-sensei, really excited to play around with my quirk."

I replied with a big smile of my own.

"Hahaha! Thats good to hear Touya-kun but before you get to play around, I would like you answer a few qustions for me and follow some simple instructions about your quirk. We wouldn't want you accidentally hurting yourself or others now would we?"

"Yes Saiba-sensei."

I answered immediately. I was actually realy worried about this. I've learned that quirks will usually manifest at agest 4 or 5 while in some rare cases, they manifest in their pre-teens. Considering my parents quirk, I was afraid that I would accidentally hurt someone or worse, Fuyumi because I would usually spend a lot of my free time playing with her. I dont want to give someone minor frostbite or actually scaring them with an accindental discharge of fire. It didn't help that some kids would accidentally kill themeselve or others from the news I've heard or papers I've read when I was researching about quirks.

"Good, then Touya-kun how did you figure out your quirk activated?"

"Well, I woke up this morning with my bedsheets covered in thin layers of ice. Since my mom has an ice quirk, I immediately figured it out that it was mine."

"When you woke up this morning, what where you feeling? Where you cold, did you have a headache or stomachache??"

"I didn't feel anything like that sensei. Infact, I felt comfortable."

"Thats good to know."

Saiba-sensei asked me a bunch more questions like my condition before and after activating my quirk, where their any requirements or how long it would take for me to create something out of nothing and a lot more. It took maybe 10 minutes before she led me, my mother and sister to the testing area.

"Now then Touya-kun, I want you to create somethings for me , anything from small to large and somethings with a lot more detail."

"Yes sensei!"

I answered energetically because I've been waiting for this the entire time.

I made many droplets of ice like this morning and the bigest I can make so far make is the size of a basketball. I also made other stuff but alot more detailed like small shapes and letters. I also made miniature figurines of animals and plants, Fuyumi realy enjoyed playing with those.

We also experimented on how my quirk affects inanimate objects or my soroundings. How depth my quirk can effect it or how wide I can spread my ice. We did a bunch more experiments before Saiba-sensei gave the all clear.

"So Touya-kun, what would you like to call your quirk?"

"Ice bending!"

"Oh, thats a strange name but surprisingly, it fits. Ice bending it is then!"

I named it after the show Avatar:the Legend of Aang. Thats the perk of having an otaku for a roomate. He told me and forced me to watch a bunch of anime and cartoons with him. I would sometimes read manga and comics he has lying around in our room when I'm relaxing or when I'm bored. This is a homage to him I guess considering I dont remember his name at all. Its also because of him that I have different ideas and inspirations for my quirk.

After feeling out the paperwork for my quirk, we went home. I was understandably exhausted for using my work to much but I am still really energetic. I cant wait to experiment more and to figure out what more I could do with Ice.

I took a little nap, looking forward to the the future.
