Hello there! This is the third chapter of Herotic Tier Character Tomozaki-kun ... I hope you enjoy it. 

Notes: In this universe, Spider-Man also has Organic Webbing Generation like Tobey Maigure version but only on right hand, he has to rely on web shooter on left hand.

It feels like I've been losing track of the passing days ever since I started crime-fighting as Spider-Man. People have often said that vigilantes like me are driven by a sense of self-gratification, but that's not entirely true. I've never felt the need to be the best of the best, nor have I ever praised myself every time I stopped a crime. Needless to say, I have seen enough bad things that a kid in my age wouldn't even dare to imagine; but regardless of what everyone else had to say, this city is still far from safe.

In school, I'm simply known as Tomozaki Fumiya, the loneliest boy that one could ever think of. My academics except sciene and math, appearance and social skills are way below average, but my spider powers have compensated for all that. Well, at least for my physical abilities anyway.

If there's ever one thing I've learned about crime-fighting, it's the fact that criminals are always ruthless. A good fighting skill is a must for this job, but the least I can do is throwing punches, and that's exactly what I've done just 10 minutes ago when I witnessed two masked burglars trying to intimidate a convenience store manager for money. It was night-time which is good enough to conceal my movements. I proceeded just like usual by jumping off from the rooftop, landed myself on the ground, fired my webbings at the two men and then hauled them out of the store with my strength.

What happened next was too fast for anyone to recount due to my superhuman reflexes and I didn't think the burglars had any idea what hit them, but one of the burglars tried to retaliate by swinging a kick at my face. I responded by dodging it with a backward somersault, followed by another webbing fired at his foot. Then I flung my arm upwards, causing him to trip onto the ground. The fight continued with the other burglar trying to ambush me with this knife, but I quickly ducked my head down to avoid the attack. Then I grabbed his knife-wielding arm and uppercut him in the chest with my leg. Just like a ragdoll, the burglar dropped his limping body to the ground.

No words were being exchanged throughout this whole fight whatsoever, but that's a good thing because having some guy cussing swear words at me is the last thing I ever need for this dreadful night.

As I turned my attention to the ransacked convenience store, I realised that the store manager is still there. It's sad to say that she's probably more traumatized by my appearance than the burglars, considering how she cowers herself into the corner when she sees me.

But I wouldn't blame her. It's my first year in crime-fighting so it would make sense if I'm not known to some people. Then the police arrived as I disappeared into the darkness, and that concludes another day in my crime-fighting life.


(The Next Day)

Words soon spread among the school about the burglary attempt on the convenience store. Naturally, the opinions are divided just like any other controversial topics brought up by my classmates. Some praised Spider-Man for saving the victim of the crime while others feel suspicious about him. The atmosphere is rather tense which is something I wouldn't want to get involved in. Well, I wouldn't deny that I've done a bad job on this one, but at least the store manager is safe, and that the police have apprehended the two burglars.
