Nagisa Shiota: The Amazing Spider-Assassin

𝓐𝓷 𝓐𝓻𝓪𝓬𝓱𝓷𝓲𝓭'𝓼 𝓑𝓲𝓽𝓮

𝓦eeks went by of the same old thing. We showed up to class, Miss Yukimura taught us an hour lesson of each of our scheduled classes for that day, and then we went home. I had already gotten myself into the swing of things for the most part, and I was ready to try and get myself back into my previous class, Class-D, and hoped not to be the butt of a joke for other students any longer. I arrived home that Thursday night, drained from another long day of studying. My eyes ached for some reason, but I couldn't tell you why. I got under my covers, feeling my body going numb as if I were frozen before I drifted off to deep sleep. I woke up at around two in the morning, a violent vibrating sensation rocking my surroundings. I cried out and vaulted out of bed, a loud thundering crash filling the air and shattering all the windows across town, including one I was just standing in front of. I quickly turned around and covered my eyes, the shockwave knocking me over to the floor as shattered pieces of glass clattered all around me. The blaring of car alarms filled the city before screams rang out. I quickly grabbed my slippers and rushed outside, looking over the balcony at my city. My eyes darted across the streets, seeing civilians scattering out of their homes and cars before pointing at the sky. Screams rang out, and it drew my curiosity before I heard footsteps rapidly approaching from behind; my mother, seemingly extremely worried and confused at what was happening, came rushing over to me. "Nagisa! I'm so glad you're okay!", she exclaimed in relief, wrapping her arms around me as I turned to give her a light smile. "Yeah, don't worry about it, I'm okay," I responded in a calm and collected tone, looking over the balcony and into the sky. I noticed the moon in the middle of the stary night sky, deciding to get a closer look at it. Something was wrong. Yesterday the moon was full, but now... almost destroyed. Its shape was turned into a permanent crescent, something that would serve as a reminder to me for the rest of my life, even today. This was the moment my life would change forever.

The following morning, there was no official report of what had happened to the moon. News agencies from across the world reported what they could. However, there was nothing I could do about it, so I left for school simply because I had nothing else better to do. My mom stayed home that day to try and get someone to fix our shattered windows, which didn't prove to do much as most glass repair shops in Kunugigaoka were either backed up with orders or had no supply left, as the shockwave had destroyed mostly all the glass in our town and around Japan in general. I headed to the school and walked past multiple parked police cars on the side of the road, their emergency lights flashing as they tried to help a local shop owner with a break-in case, most likely having taken place amidst all the chaos. I took a train, which thankfully didn't have any shattered glass, so it was still in service. I took a ride over to the school and made my ascent up the mountain once again, just as I had the weeks prior. I walked towards the campus, which now had shattered windows and was now in an even worse condition than before, to the point where the roof already seemed ready to collapse at any given moment. The whole building looked like a safety hazard, and I easily decided against going inside and risking my safety. I stood outside in the shade, waiting for almost ten minutes or so before more of my classmates showed up, all of them eyeing the dilapidated building and waiting under the shade alongside me. Some of them began casual conversations with one another about what had happened the night prior and all the chaos and confusion that had occurred in town. I kept myself out of it, however. Ever since I was shunned down to this class, I kept my socializing level down. I didn't have much urge to make any new friends.

It wasn't long after that a taller man with black, spikey hair in some formal wear came walking down the path to our classroom, along with two of what I assumed to be his associates walking close behind him. I peeked my head up from curiosity, seeing them taking a brief look at the building before writing something down on paper and making their way over to us. "Ahem," the tall, yet younger man cleared his throat before starting his speech with, "Good morning to all of you. My name is Tadomi Karasuma from the Ministry of Defense. I know the destruction of our moon may have your minds in a bit of a panic, but we have an explanation for everything. Please follow me and my associates to the field in the back", he said with a calm, professional tone before leading us to the back of our run-down campus. We all gathered around the middle of what was supposed to be the jogging track before Mister Karasuma took a deep breath, endeavoring to find the words to say. "Alright, let me begin explaining. First of all, you'll be getting a new teacher. This new teacher isn't going to be me, but... something different altogether. Your new teacher is going to be-", he voiced, suddenly getting cut off by a nearby sonic boom. I could notice a slight tone of annoyance in his facial expression before a yellow blur suddenly slammed onto the ground, the force of the landing creating a huge gust of wind that push dirt and other debris against me and my classmates, so we shielded ourselves with our arms. After the dust cleared, a new voice began to speak. "Good morning, students!", it began, a cheerful tone in its voice. My classmates and I all lifted our heads simultaneously, our eyes widening in awe at the sight of our supposed new teacher.
