Once Again, New "Partners"

However, even if there really should be such an 'adjustment period', Uraraka Shige has already passed through it, so this so-called 'adjustment period' is not something Uraraka Shige should care about.

So what should Uraraka Shige be concerned about at this time?

"We've changed your 'dormitory'; you'll be living here from now on. Go in."

The guards transferred Uraraka Shige to his new cell, which was still a group cell, but with a different group of 'roommates'.

Therefore, without a doubt, how to "build good relationships" with these "roommates" should be the thing that Uraraka Shige needs to pay attention to in her future.

"Is this the brat?"

Because of Uraraka Shige's special status as someone who had successfully escaped, when he entered the new group cell he had been assigned, all five of his "cellmates" were still in the cell. This somewhat suspicious remark was uttered by one of the inmates.

The communal cell had three bunk beds. The empty bunk was the lower bunk, furthest from the door and the iron bars on the windows, making it the worst-ventilated spot in the entire cell.

The other detainees in the cell, after the detainee muttered something and was glared at by a guy who seemed to be the 'boss,' all sat down on their relatively tidy beds without saying a word or making any movement. They just silently stared at Uraraka Shige, constantly looking him up and down, their eyes and necks slowly moving and turning as Uraraka Shige moved.

This scene is somewhat reminiscent of those in horror stories, where a room full of dolls/puppets/toy dolls stare intently at the 'victim' who enters the room, creating a subtly quiet and eerie atmosphere.

Uraraka Shige moved forward silently in this atmosphere, first putting away his belongings, and then sitting down in the seat left for him by the group of disciplined individuals. He also began to silently observe the other disciplined individuals, as if he had also blended into this atmosphere.

"Ha~~"

After a while, Uraraka Shige had roughly looked over the five people being disciplined and had a general impression of them. He had also made some judgments and evaluations in his mind, and then suddenly yawned for no apparent reason.

He then treated the five people under his supervision as if they were nothing, took off his shoes, turned around and lay down on his bed, and began to close his eyes for a nap.

"Hiss!"

The guy who seemed to be the 'boss' gasped sharply, mentally labeling Uraraka Shige as 'powerful, confident, arrogant, but not someone to mess with'.

The other three inmates also gave Uraraka Shige an impression that they approved of. However, the inmate who had muttered something earlier, who seemed younger, had entered the prison later, and was not very familiar with the 'rules' of this Discipline Prison, suddenly raised his eyebrows and became very dissatisfied when he saw Uraraka Shige's dismissive attitude towards them.

So the person being disciplined asked:

"Hey! You came in and just stared at us, then lay down without even saying hello? Do you look down on us that much?!"

This detainee was clearly not mature enough, and seemed to want to make a big splash and let the world know. He didn't consider the consequences of his actions, nor did he notice that the other detainees in the same cell were simply watching Uraraka Shige's behavior in silence.

Instead, they brazenly believed that because they had more people, they had the upper hand and an advantage. So, while the other students being disciplined remained silent, they spoke up and became the one who could be used to test Uraraka Shige.

The other students under supervision had intended for this youngest student to act as a scapegoat and test Uraraka Shige. Before they could even speak, he had already taken on the task, which they were naturally happy to see. Therefore, none of them spoke up to warn the youngest student about his behavior; instead, they all remained silent and continued to watch, like bystanders in a movie theater...

A completely detached attitude!

How did Uraraka Shige, who was ridiculed and questioned by this younger guy who had become the scapegoat and a scapegoat, respond?

"Um."

Uraraka Shige barely hesitated for a second before giving a very indifferent "hmm." The perfunctory attitude was palpable to the other five people being disciplined.

This was especially true for the youngest person being disciplined.

I was mocking you! I was mocking you for asking if your actions showed you disrespect for us! There were more of us! Shouldn't you be anxiously standing up and explaining that you weren't doing that? Shouldn't you be bowing and apologizing to us?

What the hell are you saying?!

Admit it, you really do look down on us!

How am I supposed to respond to this? How am I supposed to act or react? This is completely unexpected! This is making me feel really awkward!

So the youngest inmate was speechless for a moment after Uraraka Shige's "hmm," and could only look helplessly at the other guys in the same cell. His helpless little eyes made the inmate who was suspected of being the "leader" curse his stupidity in his heart, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a twisted pleasure.

I could tell you were a brat at first glance, how about that? Now you've got what you deserve! Serves you right for being a brat! Just because there were a few of us around didn't mean you could provoke someone like this who's obviously a tough character, and you've dragged us all to the opposite side of him!

However, besides that, this guy who was suspected of being the 'boss' did feel a bit caught in a dilemma. After all, as the current 'boss' in this group cell, he naturally needed to enjoy the rights of the 'boss' while fulfilling the obligations that the 'boss' should have.

Therefore, even though he felt extremely pleased that the youngest person being disciplined had been humiliated, he had to pretend to be ready to stand up for his 'little brother'.

"Kid, isn't this a bit much? Aren't you being a little too arrogant?"

The person being disciplined, who was suspected to be the 'boss,' narrowed his eyes, revealing a cold glint in them, as he looked at Uraraka Shige lying on the bed.

Then...

"Um."

The extremely perfunctory voice that emanated from Uraraka Shige's nasal cavity once again caused the surrounding air to freeze, replaced by an atmosphere of awkwardness. This made the person being disciplined, who was suspected to be the 'boss,' want to slap himself on the top of his head.

The 'brat' had already set an example by mocking Uraraka Shige before, so why are you still making such harsh remarks? Huh? Why are you still making such harsh remarks?!

Do you think you are?

Does it look like that?
