"Solitary"

Uraraka Shige returned to the Discipline Prison.

He probably turned himself in, right? Nothing much happened during that time... It's just that Uraraka Shige successfully escaped and stayed outside for half a year before returning, he was once again put in a 'single cell'.

As mentioned before, the 'single cell' in this Discipline Prison is not a pleasant place.

After Uraraka Shige was sent back, his successful escape this time resulted in him receiving better treatment in his solitary Discipline Prison. The Discipline Prison authorities also paid more attention to him than before.

The most obvious example of this is that he initially lived in a "normal room" within a "single room," and he had at least one set of "uniforms" to cover his body.

Now, not only has his 'normal room' been changed to a 'special room,' but his 'observation period,' which had been reduced to one and a half months due to his good behavior, has also been forcibly extended to a full month. Even his original 'uniform' for the Discipline Prison has been taken away, leaving him only with a pair of underwear.

The so-called 'single ordinary room' is the same kind of quiet, 24-hour surveillance, and stark white-painted single cell he had when he first arrived.

The so-called "special single cell" is a single cell with transparent walls on both the inside and outside, and four guards stationed around it 24 hours a day. They can see through the walls other cells in the distance where the inmates are also wearing underwear.

While the latter undoubtedly has a stronger guard than the former, it also has at least one advantage: at least it no longer prohibits a certain degree of communication with inmates in other single cells. This makes the 'special cell' much more lively than the 'normal cell,' and it no longer exerts immense psychological pressure on the inmates through silence, unlike the 'normal cell.'

The way psychological pressure is exerted in 'special rooms' is through shame and other means...

Well... it's certain that the people inside will gradually lose their precious morals.

It's a pity that the male and female detainees were in different areas; otherwise, Uraraka Shige might have been able to get a good look...

But thinking about it carefully, the inmates in this Discipline Prison are all juvenile offenders... so there doesn't seem to be much to see, right?

Uraraka Shige didn't pay much attention to these things.

Since it was only his first day in the 'special cell,' Uraraka Shige behaved very well. He ignored the other inmates in the surrounding cells who tried to talk to him, and instead quietly pondered his 'Quirk,' or continued to exercise his body using exercises that didn't require any equipment, such as squats, frog jumps, push-ups, and sit-ups.

A day passed quickly under his behavior, and the next two days were no different.

On the third day, Uraraka Shige suddenly spoke to one of the inmates in a special cell closest to his 'special room'.

"How long have you been here?"

The person being questioned was completely unprepared for his inquiry and paused slightly after Uraraka Shige spoke. In contrast, the other person being questioned responded to his words.

"Huh? Kid, you can actually talk! I thought you were deaf or mute!"

The person being disciplined spoke with a hint of sarcasm, but surprisingly, there was little malice in it; rather, it felt more like teasing.

Even so, Uraraka Shige merely glanced at him and paid him no further attention, instead continuing to talk to the person closest to him who was being disciplined.

"What? May I ask how long you've been here?"

Uraraka Shige's second question was asked with a slightly stronger tone, tinged with a hint of sarcasm.

This questioning reached the ears of the person being disciplined again, causing them to realize what was happening.

Thus, Uraraka Shige finally received a response to his inquiry about his target.

"Half a month... Hey! Kid, why are you asking that?"

Since the age of those being disciplined in these 'special single rooms' is generally older than Uraraka Shige's current age, these guys, at least these two disciplined individuals, all refer to Uraraka Shige as 'kid'.

This made Uraraka Shige feel somewhat annoyed, so she subconsciously clicked her tongue.

"Tsk..."

After that, Uraraka Shige fell silent again and began to work on her body and 'Quirk'.

Instead, the other inmates not too far away seemed to have discovered something interesting, and one after another they began talking about things like...

"Hey kid, what brought you in here?" "Hey kid, why aren't you saying anything?" "According to the rules outside, we're your 'seniors,' you know! Shouldn't you be more polite and talk to us?"

Such words.

There were even cases where the guards asked Uraraka Shige, "Do you want to escape?" or "Do you want to help take care of these guards?" which resulted in them being punished by the guards around their "special rooms".

Then, another day passed.

After lunch, Uraraka Shige, and the person she was talking to was the one closest to her.

Are there any different rules to follow here compared to the regular 'single rooms'? Could you tell me?

Unlike yesterday, the person being disciplined did not freeze briefly due to being completely unprepared; instead, he reacted immediately.

"Kid, shouldn't you use some basic respectful address when you talk to me? After all, I arrived before you, so I can be considered your 'senior,' right?"

Instead of answering Uraraka Shige's question, the person being disciplined posed a counter-question to Uraraka Shige that was both a reminder and a sarcastic remark.

As is customary, Uraraka Shige did not answer his question, but simply muttered:

"If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it..."

He then resumed his training to improve his skills more quickly and pass the time.

While secretly eavesdropping on the conversations of the inmates in the various 'special rooms' around him, he searched for useful information in an attempt to make a reasonable judgment about his current situation.

Every day thereafter, Uraraka Shige would ask the person closest to him some questions, and each day he would say one more thing than the day before.

Three more days passed.
