Day three and things got... exponentially worse. I think may have overdone it with how well I pulled off the sociopathic terrorist killer the other day. Do I regret using my past life's love for drama club and acting lessons to really sell the part? No. No, I don't. Would I like to explain that I have a love of horror movies and villains in movies that are theatrical and really over the top? Yes. Yes, I would. Will anyone in the cafeteria dare to get within two yards of me? No. No, they won't. God this is lonely.

Lunch period is nearly over, and I can't help but sigh and lay my head down on the table. The view out the window is at least nice and peaceful. The weather has been really good the last few days. Maybe after school I can go to the movies and see something to lift my spirits. If there is one thing that I miss, it's the classic movies. Emulate a little of that logical crazy, spin it with a few inspirations from a couple murder filled horror movies, and add in a dash of drama club improv and you get what I did yesterday.

The clearing of someone's throat got my attention. Looking up I saw three faces I wouldn't be able to miss anywhere. It's U.A.'s soon to be Big Three. As of now they are second years with Togata being in 2-B, Hado and Amajiki in 2-A. Those three have a great dynamic and if I'm correct in my assumption Mirio has already done his internship with Nighteye. If that is indeed correct, then Hado has been picked up by Ryukyuu and Amajiki has been taken in by Fatgum.

"Hey there, do you happen to be Kumo Akemi?" I blink at the question from Mirio and nod my head at the question. I opened my mouth to speak but Nejire bless her curious heart starts bombarding me with questions.

"What's it like to have a spider lower half? Oh, Oh, what about webs? Can you make some so I can look at it? Oh, what about your favorite color? Is it true you scared away all your original classmates? Did you actually go all slasher villain on the other hero class? Did you actually win against eight different students at the same time? Are you venomous?"

"Nejire give her a chance to answer." Nejire was sitting across from me bouncing in the seat like an excited puppy when Mirio stopped her question barrage.

I hum a bit, "First, yes my name is Kumo Akemi. It's alright, I guess. It has some downsides, but I learned to live with it. I can indeed make webs." I pull a wad of web from my mouth and start to mold it in my hands. "My favorite color is sapphire blue. No, I didn't scare away the other members of 1-A they were expelled. I did go a bit overboard with my acting and selling the role as a villain. Yes, I did beat eight students during hero class yesterday. Lastly, I am venomous. Before you ask about that, I did give a sample to Recovery Girl. No, I don't bite people and yes, my bite can disable and kill a full-grown man in less than ten minutes at least if I were to use my venom. Any other questions?"

The three of them were quiet for a few moments. It seems no one has been able to answer all of Nejire's questions before. I use the time they are computing to make what is basically a handheld stuffed puppy out of spider web. I put it on the palm of my hand and offered it to Nejire.

"Here you go..." Nejire reached out taking the little thing and squeaked.

"It's not sticky or anything... It's just really soft." The blue haired girl poked at the puppy model made of webbing.

"So, how can I help three of my upperclassmen?"

"Oh right, we came to introduce ourselves." Mirio's arm shot around Nejire to get a hold of Amajiki's shirt collar to keep him in place because he turned and started to make an attempt to escape from the situation. I don't blame him. Being an extreme introvert being adopted by two extreme extroverts. "I'm Togata Mirio, Hado Nejire is the one who spouted a bunch of questions, and this joker who's trying to run away is Amajiki Tamaki.

It was great that they introduced themselves even if I already knew who they were. "it's nice to meet you three. You already know but I'll introduce myself anyway. My name is Kumo Akemi. I'm the last student in 1-A this year."

"Right, you mind telling us how managed to scare the other class so bad?"

"Oh," a sheepish look and tapping two of my claws together a few times. "Well, it just so happens that I like a lot of pre-quirk movies... A lot of those actors were really good, especially the American ones. So, I took inspiration from a few bad guys from movies and mixed them together. I just kind of ran with it because I was having fun. I tried to apologize but... They ran away when I tried this morning." Mirio nodded with a smile on his face, taking in what I said without issue.

"Oooo show us, show us!" Nejire bounced up and down all the balls of her feet.

"N-now? As in here?" Nejire nodded her head so fast it seemed to blur. I looked to Mirio and he gave a thumbs up. Tamaki was hiding behind Mirio but he hasn't run away so he must be curious too. With a sigh I let my gaze drift around at the rest of the cafeteria everyone else seems to be looking in our direction. Now that I think about it the whole place has been rather quiet during our talk. With a sigh I bring myself up to my full height. Taking a deep breath in, I let the air out slowly along with my inner actor to take the stage.

Togata POV:

The spine chills that I got from the crazed laughter alone was enough to convince me that she is really good. I can feel Tamaki gripping the back of my shirt. All three of us were curious even if Tamaki is kind of a chicken at times at least he isn't running away. Looking at the insanity written on Kumo's face, it was hard to picture she was capable of this with the small smile she had while talking to us. Her gaze pinned me in place, and I could tell the same was happening to Nejire next to me.

"Three new heroes to play with?! How delightful! I do hope you last longer than the other ones~ they were sooo boring... I hope you three play by the rules." Kumo moved slowly over the table. Her spider legs making soft clicking noises with each move on the tables surface. The speed must have been intentional because when I blinked, her hand was coving Nejire's mouth with a firm grip and one of her sharp pointed legs was aimed at my chest.

"Tsk tsk. Naughty girl, no screaming... It will ruin the fun~ A peep out of you, and I'll kill your friends." Kumo turned Nejire's head to face Tamaki and I. Her eyes were big and wide with a fusion of emotions I couldn't place but her other hand was put on the top of Nejire's head and brought towards the spider's chest. "You two better stay put. Run away and I'll snap her pretty little neck instead of letting her go."

A glimmer of chaotic amusement dances in her eyes at the smile I force on my face. I can't move right now cause Tamaki is holding my shirt so tightly. I can only imagine how scared he is at this point.

"Still able to smile? At a time like this? How marvelous~ It is making my heart warm in my chest. I want to kill you so badly..." The gleeful smile she gave was so many ways messed up and twisted I don't think I could name them. "I really shouldn't break my new toys when I have yet to play with them..." The she got a look of though as she paused drumming her fingers on Nejire's head. "There is a few of my past toys you could maybe save. They'll be a little broken, but they can still run if you free them. I'll give you three a two-minute head start... So, when I let go run." A few soft manic giggles escape her. "Run, run, as fast as you can..." It was almost song-like and creepy how she said it. "Because when I catch you..." The way she licked her lips and gave each of us a look that screamed of predatory hunger. "Are you ready? Go."

==============

Kumo Akemi POV:

Lowering my leg and letting go of Nejire I back off and return to my seat. A deep breath later and I gave a soft smile clicking my fingers together again.

"It wasn't the best I could do without the appropriate setting, but I hope that was good enough of a showing?"

"That... That was pretty convincing. I can see now why I heard one of them wet themselves." I scared them that badly. Holy crap, I should probably tone it back a few notches. Nejire was oddly quiet, and her face was a bit red.

Tamaki poked his head out from behind Mirio, "Mirio can we go now? Class will start soon."

"Oh, yeah we should get moving if we don't want to be late. Come on Nejire." Nejire nodded and waved bye before moving towards the doors following after the two of them.

I waved back offering a smile. Once the three of them left, I looked around the room at all the fellow students. I couldn't tell if they had changed their opinion of me or not but at least some of them will know it was acting and not me being a lunatic.

Arriving to class I saw two teachers there instead of one. Aizawa was there, but the unexpected one was Nezu. What the chimera was doing here is a mystery to me, but I'll be sure to figure it out.

"Am I a dog, a bear, or a rat? It's no matter cause I'm the principal."

"I'm pretty sure you're a Mustela erminea, more commonly known a white furred stoat or weasel."

There was silence in the room for a good minute as Nezu just stared at me and I stared back. A cackling laugh comes from the principal, he seems almost thrilled about my response.

"Aizawa, it seems that I was right to assume Miss Kumo here is very intelligent and should do just fine as my student."

Hol' up, wait a minute. What the fuck you say? Apparently, my shock was written on my face like neon lights at night. Nezu seemed to be chuckling at me and Aizawa looked absolutely done with the world.

"I think an explanation is in order. Put simply we received a lot of calls pertaining to your theatric performance yesterday during the hero class exercise. After seeing for myself the tapes of the exercise, I am very interested in you and your capability to really act the part. To that end, I will join Aizawa in teaching you. Your normal studies will be handled by me opposed to you joining Class 1-B due to their parents' concerns."

Okay, this actually was pretty rational. Nezu was easily one of, if not the smartest individual on the planet. If I could pick the weasel's mind and learn from him it would be a great opportunity. That and if I was in the classroom with a bunch of students that were afraid of me it would affect their ability to focus on the lessons.

"You will continue to do joint exercises with class 1-B during the heroic class period pertaining to group exercises or rescue training. The rest will be taught to you by myself, Aizawa, and Midnight."

"As great as that sounds, what about the sports festival? Isn't there a possibility of general studies students being able to enter the hero course by giving a good showing? What would be the point of getting one on one lessons if there is that possibility?"

"A valid point. You are correct in that assumption. However, that opportunity is only open to a single student each year. If there is a possibility of that happening, they will be entering class 1-B instead. You have no need to worry about getting a new classmate."

I nod in understanding.

"You have the ability to handle much more than the rest of the first years and I want to see by how much. I came up with a few plans to see how fast we can get you through this year's educational curriculum. Once that is out of the way we can focus solely on your hero training."

Now I can see why people are so afraid of Nezu. The idea of tackling that is rather daunting a task. I can only imagine the headache I'll have cramming for those tests. Aizawa who had nodded along with Nezu's explanation up until the mention of him having plans for me. The look of concern that is focused on me from the usually stoic teacher that is typically dead to the world actually makes me gulp. Maybe I might have been better off going to a different school, because this nightmare Principal might just be the death of me.
