Hello everyone, Lealius here with a new chapter
Seems some people are interested on this, thank you for the support so far, really appreaciate it
Anyway, let´s go
Shikimori´s not Just a Cutie and its characters belong to Keigo Maki
Spider-man and its characters belong to Marvel Comics
It was the following morning
The sun´s rays were making their way into Izumi´s room, basking his face with light
-"Ngh" the young one felt groggy, shielding his eyes from the light
Until he heard a loud sound in repetition, coming from his alarm clock
With the same hand movement he does every day, he turned off the device
But
What he heard instead was a crushing sound, like the one of something breaking in pieces
-"Huh?" sitting up on his bed, he realized that his alarm clock was shattered apart
-"Ups" he felt embarrassed "I hit it just like usual" he let out a sigh "Guess the bad luck hits earlier today"
Standing up, he stretched himself
He didn't felt lightheaded or weak anymore, whatever happened yesterday, it was gone
He noticed that the blister he got from the pinching sensation he got yesterday was gone too, it was just a regular scar now
-"I guess I am better already" he was surprised, yet pleased "Guess I caught a break for once"
Heading towards the door, with a final yawn, he put his hands on the doorknob and turned it
Then he heard a strange sound
-"What?"
The doorknob, alongside the lock, has been ripped off the door,
But at least he was able to open it
-"Oh, come on" he was disheartened "Dad won't like this"
What was more strange is that he still had the doorknob on his hand
He tried to let it go, but
-"What's going on?"
No matter how many times he shook his hand, the metallic knob would not leave his hand
-"Ok, I am getting nervous here"
He was sure he was not applying any strength on his hand. Upon further inspection, he noticed that the knob was more like… stick to his skin
-"What 's this?"
He would have tried to use his other hand to set his other one free from the knob, but worried that his two hands might end up stick to it, instead, he wrapped his left hand (his free hand) with his shirt, and began to pull the knob of
It took some pulls, but it was finally gone
-"Thank goodness" with a sigh of relief, he placed the item on his desk, deciding to leave it for later
-"I just woke up and this is already an unfortunate day"
Deciding that moping would not get him anywhere, he went towards the bathroom
Worried that he might break the faucet if he was not careful, he wrapped his hand on his shirt once more, and gently turned it to have the water flow
-"I don't want to cause mom and dad problems, repairs are no joke"
After washing his face, he picked up his toothbrush, and open the toothpaste tube
Like usual, he pressed it to have a little bit of paste
Instead, not only a lot of it came out, but it landed on the mirror
Now there was a considerable size blob sliding down the mirror towards the sink
-"Today is not gonna be my day, right?... Well, can´t let it go to waste"
Using his toothbrush, he got some of the paste on the mirror onto the hairy tip, and began to brush his teeth
Once he was done (and after he cleaned the remaining paste of the mirror), and fortunately, not facing any shenanigans while showering, he walked downstairs and headed towards the table
He could hear the news channel from the TV
-"And so" the news anchor said "Local businessman, Wilson Grant Fisk, has made a sizeable donation to the local children hospital"
The TV showed the image of a rather obese bald man, wearing a white suit over a yellow shirt, purple pants, and sustaining himself with a black cane with a golden handle
He was smiling to the cameras as he was shaking hands with the hospital's director, who was clearly grateful for the donation
-"In other news, a local jewelry shop was assaulted last night by"
His mother turned off the TV
-"Morning, Yuu" she greeted him with a warm smile
-"Morning" he replied and took his seat
-"You seem to be better" his father pointed out
-"Yeah, the headache is gone, and I no longer sneezed, guess I just needed a good night rest"
Nodding in agreement, the family began to eat breakfast, this time, Izumi was hungry, he did skipped dinner last night
Until he remembered what happened with his door just a few minutes ago
-"Listen" he grabbed his neck, embarrassed "I accidentally broke my door´s knob and lock while opening, I´m so sorry"
Rather than mad, his parents shook their heads in amusement, accustomed to their son´s unfortunate events
-"It's ok, Yuu" his mother reassured him "It's just a knob"
-"Yeah" his father said with a calm smile "Plus, We´ve been thinking about doing some re-decorations, so if anything, you gave us the push we needed to decide"
Feeling more relieved, the young one kept eating "I am glad they understand"
The happy family kept on eating
Once done, and after helping cleaning the dishes (and counting his lucky stars that no other accident happened) he picked up his bag and left for school
As he was walking down his destination, he kept wondering about the strange occurrences that happened as soon as he woke up
-"Maybe I'm just getting bigger"
But, out of nowhere, he felt a strange vibration on his head
-"Huh?" he was confused
It was as things move slower for him, the walking of the people, the chirping and flying of the birds
And with each passing second, the vibrations felt stronger, his body was twitching
It was as he was getting ready for something dangerous to happen
Turning his body backwards, he lifted his hand
and catched a soccer ball
-"H-How?" he was beyond disbelief
-"Oh, thank goodness!" a mother said as she approached him with her child "I am glad you are not hurt!"
-"Oh" he was back in reality "Is this yours?"
-"Yes, well, my child´s actually" she looked at his young boy "I told you not to kick it while we are walking"
-"I am sorry, big bro" the child was embarrassed
With a reassuring smile, Izumi bent down "It's ok, nothing happened to me, just be more aware of your surroundings in the future, ok?"
The child nodded
Izumi returned the ball "You got quite the kick"
-"I am gonna be the best soccer player ever!"
Izumi chuckled "You have my full support"
And with that, the mother and child were gone
While he was not angry at the child, and he was glad that he could boost the child's confidence, he remembered his own quite fast reaction
-"I just felt some vibrations on my head, and then, I knew I had to move, but… that was way too fast"
Feeling conflicted, he checked his phone "Oh, no! I gotta hurry!"
The morning at school went like usual, though it was a bit hard to concentrate, due to the strange events that happened at his house and on his way to school
Regardless, it was now lunch time
-"I am glad you are better already" Shikimori said as she picked up her food tray
-"Me too" Izumi replied as he picked up his own food tray "I wouldn't want to miss a day"
Walking into the courtyard area, they began to look for their friends
-"Over here!" Nekozaki waved at them
Walking towards them, Izumi began to feel that vibration from this morning
-"Again!?"
Was something dangerous about to happen once more?"
As they were walking, Izumi noticed some orange juice spilled on the floor
-"That juice"
He than realized that Shikimori failed to noticed it, and slip on it
-"Wah!" she went backwards, her food tray flying in the air
She was gonna hit the floor
-"Shikimori-san!"
Not wasting time, the purple haired put his tray away on a nearby table, and grabbed his girlfriend by the back
-"Huh?" Shikimori was confused
With the vibrations, Izumi noticed the tray of food and the food itself falling down
With his free hand, Izumi grabbed the tray, sticking into his hand, and moving it to grab the food, not a single bit of it falling into the floor
Panting heavily, Izumi looked at his girlfriend "Shikimori-san, are you ok?"
-"Uh-huh" she was ok, yet in disbelief
Noticing this, Izumi looked around, and saw how the other students looking at them, just in equal disbelief
Until
-"That was awesome!" a student said
-"Way to go, Izumi!" another one said
There was some clapping in celebration of the young one´s deed
-"Um" he felt embarrassed, letting go of her
-"Izumi-san" Shikimori said, then smiled brightly "That was so cool!" she wrapped him in a hug "Thank you so much"
-"O-Of course" he accepted her gratitude, blushing hard, and he was still confused of his reaction time and movements
Him, who slipped pretty much when jogging
Him, who has dropped most stuff than anyone else at school
Just performed some really cool moves to save the person he holds dear
And he felt… happy
Eventually, they meet up with their friends
-"Izumi, that was so sick!" Nekozaki said excited "I am glad you saved Micchon!"
-"Yeah, that looked like it was gonna be a nasty fall" Izunuka said
-"Yeah" the pink haired replied, and looked at her boyfriend "My hero"
Being called hero… he felt a hard blush on his face, but he was glad he could help her
-"All praised be Izumi" Hachimitsu said
-"I-It was nothing"
-"Here I was worried that you were gonna be sick" Shikimori said
-"Sick?" Inuzuka asked concerned
-"Last night I sneeze a couple of times and had a headache, but today, I woke up fine" he then remembered what happened after he woke up "Minus the alarm clock, doorknob, toothpaste, and the soccer ball"
He decided to skipped that part
-"Well, so long as you´re better" Nekozaki said
-"By the way, guys"
-"Yes?" Shikimori said
-"Do any of you know a good locksmith?"
They all shook their heads in amusement to the typical Izumi´s luck
-"I do" Hachimitsu said
The day went on, and it was time to go home
Until, a teacher entered his classroom
-"Ah, there you are, Izumi-kun, I am glad you are not gone yet"
-"Tachibana-sensei" he replied "What´s wrong?"
-"You see, I won't be able to make it tomorrow, so I was hoping we could have the meeting in regards to the library now? Kamiya-san is already waiting"
-"Oh" that was unexpected, but he didn't mind "No problem?" he then looked at his girlfriend "I am sorry, but this might take a while"
-"It's ok, I have to run some errands myself, I´ll talk to you later"
With a nod, he accompanied the teacher to the faculty´s office, inside, Kamiya was already waiting
-"Hello, Izumi-kun" she said with a amicable smile
-"Hi, Kamiya-san" he took a seat next to her, while the teacher sit in front of them, holding some documents on her hands, and some books on the table
-"All right, you two, first order of business"
During the next hour or so, they discussed many things, books borrowed, amount of registered students, who has not returned a book borrowed yet, all related to the school's library
-"I see" the teacher said while looking through some papers "Good work on these you two" she looked at Izumi "You´ve certainly improved since you started, Izumi-kun"
-"It's nothing" he felt embarrassed "It's thanks to Kamiya-san help"
-"No big deal, I know you would have done the same"
Izumi nodded in agreement
-"Anyway, finally on the list"
For Izumi, the teacher's voice, as well as Kamiya´s voice went quieter, like an echo in the background
Because he felt those strange vibrations on his head once more
-"Oh, come on!"
He looked around, just where could this new danger come from?
He noticed some dust falling on Kamiya´s head
Looking up, he noticed one of the ceiling´s tiles beginning to unstick from said ceiling
-"Don´t tell me that"
Both Kamiya and the teacher had not noticed it yet due to being focused on their conversation
The tile finally detached from the ceiling
It was gonna fall on Kamiya
-"Kamiya-san!" standing up, he pulled her and her chair out of harm ways, the tile hitting the floor, shattering in pieces
-"Huh?" Kamiya was astonished
-"Oh my god!" the teacher was shocked once she noticed the pieces of the tile "Kamiya-san, are you all right?"
-"Um, yes" she looked at Izumi, who was baffled
This is the third time he has prevented an accident, and the second time on someone else
-"That could have been quite the tragedy" the teacher then looked at Izumi "Nice job, Izumi-kun"
-"Um, yes" he felt strange "Oh, Kamiya-san, sorry about the sudden movement"
-"Don´t worry" she gave him a warm smile "You saved me, Izumi-kun, that was amazing"
Once more, he was blushing
After finishing everything, the duo was on their way out
-"Are you sure you´re ok?" Izumi asked
-"I am, don´t worry"
-"That´s good"
-"I heard you also saved Shikimori today at lunch" she then panicked "She is ok, right?"
-"Yeah, she is, thanks for asking"
-"I am glad to hear that, seems that today was quite the day"
-"You can say that again" the purple haired felt tired yet… happy
-"Anyway, I'm heading this way, thank you once more, Izumi-kun, be safe"
And she was gone
Izumi looked at his hand, today was quite strange, and that happened today, was done by him
-"What's happening to me?"
After getting back home, doing his homework, having dinner, and helping around the house, he was resting on his bed, browsing through his phone, until he got a notification from Nekozaki on the group´s chat
Nekozaki: Anybody up for bowling on friday?!
They all gave their affirmative replies, a nice activity to do in group
Izumi sit up
-"I hope my throws don´t go off the lane again"
He practiced his throwing
With his right hand, he stretched his index, pointer fingers and thumb forward, while curdling his ring and middle fingers into his palm, imitating when holding the bowling ball
And what happened next was the most bizarre of all things that ever happened to him, even when taking into consideration the day he had today
He heard a twhipp noise, and a broad, net-shaped mesh being releasing from his wrist and all the way to his wall
It was whitish and looked like silk, looking shattered and like glass
Whatever it was, it was similar to a spider web, stretching itself and forming a sort of cord
-"WHA!" Izumi stood up, completely terrified "W-What is this?! It´s just"
Calming himself down, he further inspected the strange cord by touching it
-"It's all sticky"
He followed the direction of the cord, and the realization sent a shiver down his back
-"It came from me!?"
Inspecting his hand, he noticed a strange mark on his wrist, specifically, on the bottom part of it, close to his palm
It looked like a circular wound, but he touched it, and there was no pain
-"What the?"
He was at a loss of words
-"Ok, first thing first Izumi, get rid of this, I can´t walk around with this hanging from my wrist"
Using his free hand, he grabbed the cord of web from the source on his wrist, and pulled it off, it did took some strength, but he was able to
-"Huh, It didn't hurt"
That was good at least
He dropped the cord and it gently fell on the floor
-"Well, at least I know I can get rid of it"
Remembering the action he did to unleash said web, he imitated the movement once more, this time with his left hand
And with the same result
-"Eek!" another web cord, another panic attack
Releasing the web, he took a sit on his bed, sweating heavily
-"This… This isn't my usual bad luck… This is something else!"
He place a hand on his head, trying to make sense of the situation
-"Today has been strange, and this is beyond that, but how did this happen? To think it all started with a pinching sensation back when"
His eyes went wide, realization hitting him
-"The pinching sensation I got… It was when we returned from the trip to the university!"
He noticed the web on his floor, and also remembered the events that happened today
-"Are those the results from that pinching sensation I got yesterday?!"
He took a deep breath and let it out
-"When I placed my hand into my bag, that's when that pinching sensation happened, but" he looked at where the scar was, the one left from that blister "What exactly pinched me? My bag was full of my regular belongings, so it couldn't have been any of those"
He noticed the web once more "And why a spider web? I mean"
And a memory triggered in him
Yesterday, when they were examining the science school at the university
-"One of the experiments we are currently working on is related to spiders" the assistant to Nakamura said "13 to be exact"
-"Um" Nekozaki said "There are only 12 in display though"
-"Yes, normally they are 13 there, but Nakamura-san is currently working on number 13 as we speak"
Back with him, he felt cold sweat once he made the connection
-"That 13 spider, and the pinching sensation I got, and the web I shoot… Don´t tell me… a spider bit me?!"
It sounded crazy, and it probably was, but it was the only explanation he could made
-"I mean, I can't just go there and just ask about it, they´ll think I am crazy"
He passed a hand through his hair "This is probably the worst luck I ever had, I mean, not only a spider bit me, but it has caused… This"
He remembered his day, the alarm clock, the doorknob, the toothpaste
All of those were bad
But
He also remembered catching that soccer ball, and saving Shikimori and Kamiya
Those were good
-"I… I did that, I helped Kamiya-san… and" she remembered a certain pink haired "I helped Shikimori-san, I protected her, just like she is always protecting me"
And the realization that he was able to return the love she always gives him
Gave him happiness and hope
-"Maybe… This could be useful… I can help Shikimori-san, and my friends, and mom and dad"
It was bad luck that the spider bit him, and maybe the new… abilities he got also were bad luck
But what he could do with them, how he could help others so they don´t have to endure the misfortune he goes through daily
Was good luck
-"I mean, I should try to understand this better myself before I do anything else"
He walked to his window, the night sky full of stars and some clouds
And a yawn came to him, today's events beginning to take its toll
-"I better go to sleep"
Though it was hard, sleep eventually got to him
Tomorrow, it was testing time
And then
Learning a lesson in the worst way possible
Well, that´s the end of that, Izumi has discovered some new powers, next time, he has to test them
And to learn a certain lesson, which, if you follow spiderman-man, should know what I am talking about
Anyway, what do you think? Leave any reviews or send me a PM, and I will glady asnwer
Until next time
Peace
