(A/N: Greeting dear readers of Blank Canvas! :D It is I, your author, here with an announcement!
As of this update, Blank Canvas is now becoming a series. It wasn't originally planned as such but it also wasn't planned to be this long either. XD However, Heracelio on here suggested that with Izuku and Hitoshi being offered a transfer to the Hero Course, this could serve as a finished arc and continue on to the next one with a sequel. I really liked this idea because it would help organize the story as well as break up the story into smaller parts. So it's not as overwhelming in length. ^_^
With Blank Canvas becoming a series, I have looked through all my notes and have split all I have planned accordingly. In doing so, I have figured that this series will have a total of four parts. Meaning there is way more to come for this AU and I do have a clear ending point in mind.
With this A/N, part one has finished so please move on to part two if that is your fancy! :D Weekly Tuesday updates as usual. Thank you, dear readers, for joining me on this journey and sticking with Blank Canvas! Onward to part two!

...
The world was on fire. Flames fell repeatedly from the sky. The ice stood no chance against the heat. Every spire and spear of cold cracked and melted away against the fire's power. Again and again, the ice was pelted with flaming blows. Chipping away at the cold hard surface to force the ice's own inner fire out into the world.
But the ice did not want the inner flames to escape. Fire was dangerous. Runs too hot. Only causes pain and anguish. The cold tried to fight back against the heat. Attempted to harden its frozen walls to keep the fire out and away from its own inner flames. To prevent the cursed internal heat from tainting the world.
The ice refused to allow its inner flames to become the same as the attacking fire. The same fire that had battered and burned many others of fire and ice alike before. Bringing nothing but agony and suffering upon anything that crossed the fire's path. Anything that attempted to stand up against the flame's overwhelming power.
The barrage of fiery attacks continued and no matter how much the ice fought back, there was nothing the cold could do to stop the heat. The frozen wall was cracked and breaking apart yet still the ice refusing to surrender to the fire's whims. However, with each heated blow, the cold was finding it harder and harder to resist. To fight back. To not become what the fire wanted the ice to be. The cold feared that once the heat broke through, the attacking fire would consume the ice's own inner flames and there would be nothing left.
No ice. No fire. Nothing. All either destroyed or consumed into the whole. No remaining trace of what the cold with the inner heat once was. Destined to become what the ice always feared to be. Oppressive overpowering fire.
With one final fiery blow, the frozen wall shattered releasing the inner heat and the ice was no more.
