ACT 1: Origins

Chapter 2: Great Power Pt. 1

"Oh, hey wait," He called back to Nakazawa, regaining his attention. Kyousuke reached into his pocket as he walked back over to him. "Here, I think you're gonna need these." He pulled a familiar looking object out and handed it to him, Nakazawa took a moment to realize just what they were… they were his glasses. Nakazawa looked confused, raising his hand up to touch where they should've been on his face to confirm that they indeed weren't there.

"My glasses, you mean I wasn't wearing them?"

"They fell off when you collapsed, you didn't notice?" Kyousuke replied, puzzled by his friend's reaction. Nakazawa just stared at the object, unused to seeing them so clearly.

"I… had no idea." Nakazawa muttered in disbelief, realizing that, for once in his life, he could see perfectly without them.


Nakazawa walked down the streets of Mitakihara City, looking around at all of the familiar shops and buildings. He held up his glasses, comparing his view of his surroundings with and without them on, and surprisingly, he could see perfectly clear without them, and the glasses just inhibited his vision like they would a normal person.

"This is really weird," Nakazawa stated, staring down at his glasses. "I'm practically blind without my glasses, you'd think having an allergic reaction to a spider bite would worsen my eyesight, not… dramatically improve it." It was strange, as he looked around he could've sworn that his eyesight was even better than what it was when he had his glasses on. "Hmm, I really should go to the hospital then, if I just discovered that spider venom improves eyesight, the world needs to know about it… ha, ha, just kidding." He chuckled to himself. Still he was incredibly curious as to how he could suddenly see without his glasses, he looked down at the swollen spider bite.

"Did that spider bite… really cause this?" He wondered out loud, no matter how he looked at it, it was impossible for a spider bite to have this kind of effect, especially such a small bite from a common household spider. He examined the bite more closely and then began scratching it. "Eh, it's starting to itch." He complained. He was so preoccupied by this strange situation that he completely ignored that the light had turned green, and he walked right into the intersection. Suddenly, he felt a strange tingling in the back of his head that put him on high alert.

"Huh, what the…" He said curiously, having a strong feeling that something bad was going to happen. Just then, he heard the honk of a horn and turned to see a car hurdling straight towards him. His eyes widened in shock and without really thinking, he leaped out of the way as the car came to a screeching halt. The couple driving the car quickly exited the car to see what had happened.

"Oh my gosh I am so…" The male driver began, before realizing he was just talking to the air. "Hey, where did that kid go?"

"I don't know he was just here. Oh no, don't tell me we ran him over!" The woman cried, causing them both to frantically search for him. However, up high just beyond their sight, Nakazawa was in fact safe and sound… clinging to the bare, flat wall of the building. Nakazawa couldn't believe it, he had to be dreaming or hallucinating right. He carefully removed his right hand from the wall and reached up higher, followed by the next hand, then his feet, until he was slowly crawling up the wall.

'N-no way, I'm… climbing a wall!' He exclaimed in his head, in complete disbelief. He climbed up all the way to the top of the building, heaving himself up to the roof and panted on his hands and knees.

"This is… this is nuts!" Nakazawa said. "I just climbed up a wall, my hands and feet were supporting the weight of my entire body by themselves!" He examined his hand carefully, there didn't seem to be anything different about it, it just looked like a normal hand, there was no way it could've been able to stick to the wall like that. Just then, Nakazawa's eyes feel on his spider bite, realization hitting him like that car was about to. "Just like… a spider!"


In the end, Nakazawa just went straight home and went right to sleep, he used up a lot more energy than he was used to and was completely exhausted despite the early hour. As a result, the next morning he felt completely rested, a first for the second day of a new school term. He acted like nothing had happened with his family, even though his mind was filled with questions and worries about the day before. He stared at his spider bite, which had finally begun to fade away, as he walked up the hill to his school.

"Hey, Nakazawa!" Kyousuke called as he caught up to his distracted friend.

"O-oh, Kamijou, good morning." Nakazawa replied trying his best to act like nothing was wrong.

"You feeling better this morning, what did the doctor say?" Kyousuke inquired, making Nakazawa nervous.

"Huh, o-oh right, the doctor," Nakazawa stuttered. "Everything's fine, he said there was nothing to worry about, it was just a one time thing, ha, ha."

"Really, well that's a relief." Kyousuke replied with a smile. There was no way Nakazawa could tell him about how he climbed up a wall, he would think he's crazy, in fact he was starting to think so himself. "Hmm, hey, where are your glasses?" Kyousuke asked, noticing that he didn't have them on.

"Huh, er, that's…" Nakazawa struggled to come up with an excuse, truth be told he totally forgot he wasn't wearing them. "R-right, I thought that maybe I should start wearing contacts instead, you know, to help improve my image a bit."

"Really, but I thought you said contacts hurt your eyes." Kyousuke recalled, making Nakazawa stiffen.

"…M-my mom found a new brand that don't hurt my eyes, t-they're a little more expensive but I thought it would be better since I don't have to worry about losing them, ha, ha, ha…" Kyousuke eyed him suspiciously, Nakazawa feeling the nervous beads of sweat pelting down his face.

"Are you sure you're ok, you're acting a little weird."

"I'm fine, I'm fine, let's just get going already!" Nakazawa insisted before he continued his trek to the school. Kyousuke was still a bit suspicious, but he just shrugged it off for the moment and followed his friend to the front gate.


So far, the school day went off without a hitch, everyone just assumed Nakazawa got new contacts and whatever was happening with his body wasn't impeding his mind, so classes were as easy as ever. However, as usual, gym class came along to ruin his day. Like the day before, the class ran laps to warm up, and Nakazawa knew for a fact that he wasn't going to be cut any slack by his tormentors.

"Hey there "nerd formerly known as four-eyes". The first bully called to him as he and his compatriot jogged up to him.

"Don't think just because you ditched the glasses that it'll make us forget you're our personal brainiac." The other bully added. "Be sure to stick around after class this time, thanks to you we had to do our homework ourselves, so if we get held back, we're taking it out of your head." He threatened, making Nakazawa shiver.

"I… I'm sorry, it won't happen again." He said in defeat, knowing from past experience that talking back would just get him beat up.

"Good, now, better pick up the pace, don't want the coach to get angry now do we?" The bully reared his hands back, about to shove Nakazawa as he did the day before. This time, however, Nakazawa felt the same tingling sensation in the back of his head, and without even really thinking about it he picked up speed, avoiding the shove all together. The bullies stared in shock as Nakazawa ran incredibly fast, passing other students with similar dumbfounded looks on their faces.

"Hey, where do you think you're going?"

"Get back here nerd!" The bullies ordered as they picked up speed themselves, however, try as they might they couldn't catch up to Nakazawa.

'What the hell, how… how am I doing this?' He asked himself, taking note of whom he was passing. 'I'm lapping track team members, and I'm not even putting in my full effort. Could… could this possibly be…' His thoughts were interrupted by the same tingling sensation in his head, turning his attention to the track. One of the bullies, instead of trying to catch up to him, cut through the track and was waiting for him, a leg extended in order to trip him.

"Don't think you can show us up that…" The bully began, but was interrupted by Nakazawa leaping right over his head. "…easily." He finished as Nakazawa landed perfectly behind him. "Grrr, don't take me lightly four-eyes!" He cried, turning around and rearing his fist back. Nakazawa was alerted to the assault by the tingling again and brought up his arm to block, however he did it so fast and with so much power behind it, it turned into a punch and connected with the bullies chest, sending him flying back and knocking him into his cohort. They slid across the ground and ended up in a tangled mess just at the edge of the track, too battered and shocked to stand.

It took a moment for Nakazawa to realize what he had just done, and another moment more to realize that all of his classmates were staring at him. He awkwardly turned his head to meet their gaze, his face covered with nervous sweat and his mouth ajar as he tried to come up with an explanation.

"Ah, a-a-ah, ah, ahh…" He couldn't think of one. "Coach, I don't feel well, I'm going to the nurses office, e-EXCUSE ME!" He blurted out frantically before dashing towards the main building, everyone else left dumbfounded.

Nakazawa made it to the nurses office in no time flat and quickly squeezed in and shut the door behind him, his back up against it as if to shut all of those staring faces out. He slid down on the door until he was sitting on the floor, letting out a sigh before rubbing his head in irritation.

"Just what the hell is going on with me!?" He cried, leaning back on the sliding door. He looked back at his spider bite; it was even smaller than it was this morning. "Climbing walls, enhanced strength, speed, and jumping ability, what's next, am I going to start shooting webs out of my butt?" He said sarcastically, though at this point it seemed like a real possibility. He looked passed his hand to his bandaged knee, it looked pretty dirty, a few stains of blood soaking through.

"Well, as long as I'm here I guess I might as well change my bandages." He said as he walked over to the cupboard with all of the medical supplies. He sat on the bed and undid the bandage on his knee, pulling it away to reveal a perfectly healthy joint, not so much as a scar or a bruise to be seen. He stared blankly at it for a moment and then rushed over to the window, opening it up and sticking his head out.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!" He screamed, the sound of his voice echoing throughout the school grounds.


Nakazawa dragged his feet over to the front door of his house and unlocked it with his key, when the nurse returned to the office Nakazawa faked being sick in order to go home early. He really didn't want to deal with the aftermath of the fiasco at the gym, it was enough being known as the know-it-all dweeb; he really didn't need to have freak added to that description.

"I'm home." He said out of habit, though there was no one there to acknowledge him, both of his parents worked and his sister was probably still at school. He took off his shoes and walked up to his room, immediately sitting himself down at his computer. He activated the laser-projected keyboard and typed into the search bar "Spider Bite Symptoms", clicking on the first link he found. He stayed like that for a while, scrolling through the links, looking at pictures of spiders for the one that bit him, trying to find anything that even remotely explained his condition. Eventually, he gave up and laid his head down on his desk in defeat.

"Geez, why is this happening to me, I was only two years away from getting into a prestigious high school where my intellect could be appreciated, but now I have to deal with this for the rest of my life… wait, will this last for the rest of my life? Gah, I don't even know what this is!" He screamed agitatedly, slamming his head on the desk. "…Man, how am I going to face everyone at school tomorrow." He wondered. Suddenly, Nakazawa heard the sound of his phone ringing; he reached into his pocket and answered it, not even bothering to look at the caller id. "Hello?"

"Ok, who are you and what have you done with Nakazawa?" A voice he recognized as Kyousuke's said through the device.

"Kamijou, w-what are you talking about?" Nakazawa said nervously, glad that his friend couldn't see his face.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about, what happened in gym class with Outa and Tsunemura!" Kyousuke clarified. "That was just crazy, everyone's talking about it."

"Th-they are," Nakazawa replied, lowering his head in misery. "Ah man, now everyone thinks I'm a freak, huh?"

"Freak, what are you talking about, they're calling you amazing!" Kyousuke stated, much to Nakazawa's surprise. "Those guys were jerks, everybody knew it, and you were the first one to really give them a taste of their own medicine. Sure everyone's more than a little surprised that it was you who did it, and I'm not gonna lie some people think you're on steroids,"

'STEROIDS, that's even worse than spider freak!'

"But the point is, people are thinking they might've been wrong about you man!" Kyousuke exclaimed enthusiastically. "So tell me, how did you do it, it wasn't actually steroids, right?"

"OF COURSE NOT!" Nakazawa denied; there was no way he'd actually jeopardize his future by getting into something like that.

"Ok, I believe you, then what was it?" Kyousuke interrogated, intrigue evident in his voice.

"Eh, that is… just adrenaline I guess, flight or fight and all that stuff…" Nakazawa lied, for what felt like the hundredth time that day.

"Hmm… well, whatever it is, you should keep it up, you might be able to save your reputation yet." Kyousuke said playfully. "Well, see you tomorrow then, make sure you have a better excuse prepared before then, bye." With that Kyousuke hung up, leaving Nakazawa dreading to go to school tomorrow. However, he did take solace in the fact nobody was calling him a freak, but what they were actually calling him was… troubling.

"Amazing, that's not the first word I'd use to describe what's going on." He mused. "Abnormal, strange, bizarre even, but amazing?" He looked back down at his spider bite; it was smaller than ever, barely even noticeable anymore. "Hmm, I wonder, maybe these "powers" could only be temporary, and they'll disappear once the bite is fully healed." He suggested. He stood up from his chair and walked over to the back wall of his room, taking a quick look at his hand before placing it on the wall. He then placed the other, then both his feet, climbing the wall like he did yesterday. He wall crawled like this all over his room, trying to see if it was getting any weaker from prolonged use. Eventually, he ended up hanging upside down from the ceiling, his hands and feet firmly sticking to the surface.

"Nope, just as adhesive as ever." He said with disappointment. He let go of the wall and landed safely on the ground. "Huh, come to think of it, why do my hands only stick to walls and not other things, can I like control when they stick to things?" He pondered as he examined his hand. He stood back up and grabbed the pillow from his bed, hanging it from just his finger and then willing it to detach, which it did. "Huh, so I can control it, interesting." He said. Just then, he realized something, something that just might make this whole experience a little bit more bearable.

"Hey, wait a minute, that's what these powers are, they're interesting." He declared. "Strange, surely, bizarre, you bet, amazing, if Kamijou says so, but at the end of the day these powers are just fascinating. I'm not exactly thrilled to pretty much be half spider now, but what kind of nerd would I be if I just ignored them." Nakazawa quickly grabbed his computer, as well as a few other supplies, and rushed out of his room.

"I'm not just gonna lock myself in my room and wonder what the hell is happening to me, I'm a scientist damn it, I don't ask questions, I get out there and look for the answers! Understanding something is the first step to conquering it, so if I'm going to figure this out, how I got these powers, how I'm going to live with them, and who knows, even how to get rid of them, I've got a lot of work to do." Nakazawa exited his house and brought his bike around, strapping his supplies to the back and riding it downtown.

He pulled up to an old abandoned warehouse, it had been condemned for so long that nobody even remembers what it was even used for, and the city just kind of forgot about it, hell they even used the area around it as a scrapyard. This was going to be his lab. He broke the rusted lock on the gate with his bare hands and entered the old building, finding an appropriate place to set up his equipment.

"Alright, from what I could tell so far, I have four primary abilities; wall crawling, super strength, enhanced jumping ability, which I guess is just an extension of the strength, and finally that… tingling in my head, whatever that is." He said as he listed his abilities in his computer. "Hmm, I guess strength would be the easiest to test out, let's see…" He looked around the warehouse for something to lift, and his eyes fell on a multitude of metal barrels. "Ah, these'll do." He said as he walked over to examine his improvised weights. "Hmm, standard 200 liter steel oil drum, at these dimensions that's about… 40 pounds, or 18-20 kilograms." He calculated in his head before heading back to his computer and writing out the parameters of his experiment. "Ok first trial, 20 kilogram weight." He typed. He then returned to the group of oil drums and bended down, grabbing one from its base. "Alright, here we go." He said before taking a deep breath. He began to heft the drum up, only to realize that it took very little effort, like he was carrying a light grocery bag at best.

"Whoa, this… this isn't heavy at all, in fact it feels pretty light." Nakazawa said with surprise. He shifted the weigh of the drum to only his right hand, finding it just as easy to keep in the air. Then he began taking away fingers until it was balancing only on his index finger. He tossed it into the air and caught it was other hand, picking up another drum and throwing it in the air before grabbing a third drum. To his utter shock he began juggling the three heavy objects, and what was the most astonishing thing was that Nakazawa had never juggled before in his life.

"Wow, I-I can't believe I'm actually doing this, it's not just my strength, my reflexes, balance, and over all coordination have all dramatically improved!" He then grabbed one of the drums by the base and almost effortlessly stacked the other two on top of it in mid fall. "…Ok, maybe this is a little amazing." He admitted before setting the barrels down. "And this is just the tip of iceberg. Alright, let's get to work." He said with determination. For the next week or so he spent all of his free time working on these experiments, he would go to school, finish his homework on the bus downtown, and then spend the rest of his time testing his abilities. He told his parents that he joined the photography club to explain his absence.

"Adhesive Abilities Test 1, weight used, 40 pounds." He said into an earpiece, which then ordered the computer to type out what he said. He placed the tips of his fingers on the base of the drum and activated his "stick 'em powers", he then leaped up and clung to the wall with his other hand, taking the drum with him. He shook his hand a little, trying to see how well his power held onto the drum, it didn't budge at all. He then started removing fingers until it was hanging only on his index finger. Once he was sure that the object wasn't going to fall off easily, he deactivated his powers and let it fall to the floor with a clank. "Result, kept on with minimum effort."

Nakazawa backed up from a line of tape on the ground until he was practically backed up against the wall and after a moment of mental preparation he dashed forward. Once he made it to the line, he leaped as hard as he could, flying across the large warehouse until he landed safely on the other side. He placed another piece of tape on the ground, not too far away from four other lines, and measured the distance between the latest one and the starting line.

"Fifth bound, about 53 feet, average bound… 50 feet."

Nakazawa managed to find a tennis ball machine and hooked it up to one of the working outlets in the warehouse. He set it to its lowest setting and too the remote meant to activate it.

"Test of enhanced reflexes and… "Spider-Sense", trial one at lowest setting." He said before switching on the machine, causing it to spring to life. It adjusted itself to shoot directly at Nakazawa and in the moment before it shot out the first ball, his Spider-Sense activated, telling him exactly where the ball would be heading. Once it shot out, Nakazawa quickly ducked under it, the ball just bouncing on the ground behind him. He smirked in satisfaction and then returned his attention to the still active tennis ball machine, continuing to easily evade all of the balls that were shot at him. He steadily increased the intensity of the machine and no matter how high he went he could dodge and even catch balls in mid air.

"Result, safely unharmed."

Nakazawa went out to the scrapyard and found himself an old and discarded car, sitting out in the open where he could safely lift it without damaging anything.

"Strength Test 5, 4000 pounds, or 1800 kg, or 2 ton weight used." He said into his earpiece. He grabbed the car from the bottom and lifted it up over his head, easily able to hold it up with one hand. "Result, able to lift with minimum effort."

Nakazawa hung from the side of the warehouse with the car he used for the previous test hanging from his index finger. He then tossed it into the air and caught it with his pinky without any problems.

"Result, kept on with minimum effort."

Nakazawa tied a new pair of parkour shoes to his feet; he was currently standing on top of a building, wearing a red tracksuit. Looking over the edge to see the alleyway beneath.

"First test of practical application of powers, method used: Parkour." He said before backing away from the edge and kneeling down preparing for a running start. After a moment of mental preparation, he dashed forward and jumped into the air just before reaching the edge of the building. He marveled at how high he was for a moment before landing safely on the other building and continuing to run; he leaped over a small ledge onto a lower part of the building and slid under a pipe he sensed was there, his momentum never stopping. He had to admit, he was having a little fun, he never thought he would be able to do something as physically demanding as parkour, and it was pretty enjoyable to say the least. However, he eventually made it to a building that was a great distance away from the next, he could tell he wouldn't be able to make the jump based on the data he collected during testing.

"Hmm, guess leaping can only get me so far." Nakazawa mused, placing a hand on his chin as he thought. He let his eyes wander and they fell on a spider web spun under a water tower, noticing how the strands of silk easily allowed the arachnid to traverse between the two legs of the tower. He looked down at his hands and pointed it towards the next building, imagining a web shooting out of it.

"Well, a spider's gotta have a web." He said with a smirk.

Back at the lab, Nakazawa began mixing chemicals together with his chemistry set, following a formula that he wrote on a chalkboard behind him. Once it was completed, he stuck his finger in the test tube of the white liquid and found that it had turned into a silk like substance, much to his satisfaction. He then collected some scrap metal and other materials from the scrap yard and began cutting and welding according to a blueprint he had drawn up.

Nakazawa was back outside, stacking four cars on top of each other for another test. "Strength Test 9, 8 ton weight used." He said before grabbing the stack and lifting it up. This time around he actually had to heave quite a bit, as well as steadily stabilize the wobbling tower of cars once they were in the air. His arms wobbled a bit as he tried to keep the cars above his head. "Result… able to lift with… great effort, benchmark: 8 tons"

Nakazawa struggled as he held up four tons of car with each index finger; he had to really concentrate in order to keep the adhesiveness of his fingers from giving out and dropping the welded together cars.

"Result… kept on… with great effort." He mumbled before giving out, dropping the cars with a relieved sigh.

Nakazawa had poured his special "web fluid" into metal cartridges, under a pressure of 300 psi, and placed them into another, bracelet like device that was currently being held in place by a stand.

"Alright, "web-shooter" test 1." Nakazawa said as he guarded his face with a welder's mask and reached over to a metal trigger at the end of the device. He quickly pressed it down and a single, tightly knitted web strand shot out of it and hit the wall, sticking to it perfectly. "Whoa, it worked… ha, ha, it actually worked!" Nakazawa said with glee as he stared proudly at the web strand.

Nakazawa jumped back to the roof where he left off in the last run, now wearing his newly designed web-shooters. He looked over the edge to find that below was an intersection, meaning falling could be disastrous. He did a loud, cliché gulp and placed a pair of goggles over his eyes to shield them from the wind should he actually succeed in this crazy stunt.

"Alright, second test of practical application of powers, method used… "web slinging"." He said into his earpiece. He backed away from the edge and held out his right hand, firing a web line to a crane just slightly above the target roof. He grabbed the line with both hands and stood at the edge of the roof, taking one last deep breath to steady himself. "Alright, here goes nothing." He said before finally jumping off the roof. He screamed frantically as he swung on the web line over to the next roof. However, he miscalculated the length of the line and he was about to hit the side of the building. "Uh oh, no, no, no, noNONONO!" He cried hysterically, but at the very last second he fired a second strand onto another building, letting go of the first and swinging down the road. He let out a sigh of relief.

"Ok, ok, ok, I got this, I think I've got this." He said as he reached the maximum height the web could take him. He shot another strand at the next building and swung on that. He continued to alternate between shooting lines with his right and left hand, quickly getting used to the feeling. "Wow, this test is turning out better that I thought, my strength, my reflexes, my heightened sense of awareness of my surroundings, it's all being put to work!" He said excitedly as he began to cut loose a little with the web slinging. Before he knew it he was doing flips in the air, running across the sides of buildings, slingshotting himself higher into the air with his web lines, and even letting out an excited "yeah" and "woo hoo" along the way. Eventually, he stuck himself on the side of a water tower on a tall building, looking over the gorgeous city.

"Final Result… amazing."


Back at the lab, Nakazawa was compiling all of the data he collected into his computer, sorting it all into different files and such.

"Alright, after a week of tireless study and countless experiments, I have…" He paused, looking over all of the data one last time. "…a bunch of useless data." He sighed and sat back in his chair. "Great, I know what I can do now, but I still don't know how I do it or what even really caused it, in essence I'm no closer to figuring this out than when I started." He lamented; looking back at all that's happened this past week. "Ah, who am I kidding, I knew from the start that this wasn't going to solve anything, I just fell back on what I was used to, studying." He admitted to himself, glancing over at his inventions. "Why did I even make these, it's not like I'm going to be doing that on a regular basis." He stated, picking up one of his web shooters and examining it. "Hmm, I guess I got too excited, and now I'm flat broke from all the equipment I had to buy to make these things." He let out a depressed sigh. He then looked at the clock on his computer.

"Oh shoot, is it really this late already?" Nakazawa said with surprise. "I better get home before my parents start to worry." He said as he hastily cleaned up his station. As he left the warehouse he didn't notice the spider intently staring at him from its web on the ceiling.


Nakazawa let out a loud yawn as he and Kyousuke walked up the hill to school, his friend taking immediate notice.

"You ok Nakazawa, you look tired." Kyousuke asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just stayed up too late studying is all." Nakazawa replied. That was technically true, lately he'd been so preoccupied with studying his powers that he'd have to spend nearly the whole night studying the coarse material to make sure he kept up in class, it wasn't too difficult of a task, but it certainly was time consuming.

"Wait, seriously, since when did the genius Nakazawa Takuya need to pull in all nighter for anything less then a regional science fair?" Kyousuke teased with a smirk.

"Oh shut up, like you've never lost track of time playing your precious violin!" Nakazawa shot back, gaining a chuckle from Kyousuke.

"Fair enough." He admitted. "Speaking of which, I finally got some time off from practice today."

"You must be dying inside." Nakazawa quipped.

"Oh whatever smart ass," Kyousuke replied. "Anyway Sayaka invited me to this new cake shop that opened up last week, you wanna come, I heard it's pretty good."

'YOU IDIOT, why would you invite somebody else to what's obviously supposed to be a date!' Nakazawa screamed in his head, just when he thought that Kyousuke couldn't be any more oblivious to his childhood friend's feelings he goes and kicks it up a notch.

"I-I don't know I wouldn't want to impose on Miki-san or anything, plus I have no money." Nakazawa stated.

"If it's just a cake set I can spot you, plus I'm pretty sure Kaname-san and Shizuki-san are coming too, and I don't think I'd feel really comfortable hanging with a group of only girls." Kyousuke admitted, a hint of nervousness in his voice.

'How much you wanna bet your assumption is dead wrong?' Nakazawa sighed to himself.

"Thanks, but no thanks, if you're not comfortable around girls what makes you think I would be." Nakazawa rebuked. "Plus cake shops are usually pretty expensive, like I said, I don't want to impose."

"Ok, another time then." Kyousuke said, deciding the drop the matter.

'Be grateful Miki-san, it's not everyday you get offered a free cake set.'


Nakazawa stared at his empty wallet as he walked down the streets of Mitakihara. "In hindsight, I really did go overboard with those web-shooters, what was I thinking?" He said with a sigh as he put his wallet back in his pocket. "My mom's going to get really angry when she finds out about this, how the hell am I supposed to explain how I spent so much money in a week." He said with dread.

"Also, I spent all that time figuring out how my powers work, but now that I think about it what could I possibly even use them for?" He said quizzically. "Joining a sports club at school… is out of the question, it would look really suspicious and it wouldn't at all be fair to the other members." He deduced. Suddenly, a piece of newspaper flew out of the alleyway and into his face, surprising him.

"Gah, what the…" He said as he took the thin piece of paper off of his face. "Weird, why didn't my Spider Sense warn me about this paper… I guess it only activates for real threats." He suggested. He took a look at the page and something caught his eye. "Huh, what's this, 'Amateur wrestling competition this weekend, open to all comers, first place gets a chance to step into the ring with… H-Hayama "The Crusher" Junichi!" Nakazawa cried in shock. "The Crusher is coming here, boy that name brings back memories, I remember watching him fight "Bone Saw" in the last round of the heavy weight championship match when I was a little." He said with a nostalgic smile, he and his father used to watch wrestling together when he was young, Nakazawa found it enjoyable, but his father was the real fanatic.

"My dad would flip if he knew he was going to be in Mitakihara." He said with a chuckle before continuing to read the ad. "If the contender is able to last three minutes with this legendary wrestler they will win… th-THIRY THOUSAND YEN!" He exclaimed, completely shocked by the amount. "No way, they're offering all that money for an amateur competition? Well, I guess The Crusher is a tough opponent, if an amateur can spend three minutes in the ring with him then I guess they would deserve such a large reward." He reasoned.

Just then, something clicked in his mind, a laboratory experiment could only tell him so much, if he wanted to know the full extent of his powers, he would need to test them out in the field. If he entered the tournament, not only could he complete his analysis of his powers, which he had to admit he was greatly enjoying, but he could earn enough money not only to break even for the cost of his Web Shooters, but have a lot more left over to save for whatever he wanted. And as a bonus, his mother wouldn't find out about his spending and he can live to see puberty. He looked back at his right hand, seeing that the spider bite had now completely healed; however he just smirked with a determined look on his face.

"Alright, looks like I just found my final test… a Field Test."


A/N: Alright, that's chapter 2 for you all, what did you guys think? At first I was thinking of having Nakazawa be excited about his powers right off the bat, but I decided to make him a little bit more apprehensive about it to, I don't know, differentiate him from Peter Parker, because I believe that he was more enthusiastic about his powers when he first got them, I could be wrong though. Also, if you guys couldn't see it, the strange segmentation of Nakazawa's tests were meant to make it seem like a montage, doesn't really work for a written work does it? The whole point of that sequence was to highlight Nakazawa's studious nature, after all as a young intelligent japanese youth, I figured when faced with such situations he would fall back on what he knows best, study and research, if anything just to cope with it. So yeah, next chapter will be Nakazawa testing out his powers in real time combat and then officially becoming Spider-Man, I'm sure you can all guess where this is going, but I hope that I can surprise you, even if just a little bit. Also, I would like to inform you all that I have officially decided on the villains that Spider-Man will face in Act 1, but they won't exactly be what you'd expect, so stay tuned. Well, that's it for now, see you guys next time and make sure to R&R please.
