Targeting ②

I woke up just as it was almost time for afternoon study.

The 'cellmates' in the cell had all left by now. The two who had suffered internal injuries from being kicked by Uraraka Shige were still in the special care facility, while the whereabouts of the remaining three were unknown.

Uraraka Shige left the cell and went straight to the 'classroom' to begin her afternoon 'study'. Although she had been transferred to another cell and was now on the same route as Gu Yu, she did not actually encounter Gu Yu on the way. Instead, she saw him inside the 'classroom'.

The courses remained as dull and tedious as ever, repeatedly showing them the beauty of the world and teaching them to do good deeds and be good people. Although these were the right things to do, within this Discipline Prison, as the content of 'forced learning,' it still evoked resentment. This was not because of the beautiful things themselves, but because of the forced 'learning' method.

During the break afterward, Uraraka Shige and Gu Yu reunited and went to the indoor playground to begin high-intensity physical training in a higher Gravity environment, utilizing Uraraka Shige's 'Quirk'.

The subsequent classes and breaks remained the same, the only difference being that during this time, the clever rascal Qu Zhi found them and had a detailed conversation. Qu Zhi mainly inquired about the specifics of his sister and, incidentally, brought Uraraka Shige a warning that someone was planning to target them.

During this conversation, Uraraka Shige and Gu Yu didn't feel anything, but Qu Zhi felt a little regretful because Uraraka Shige didn't know the specific details of the execution of the plan he had set up outside.

Then it was dinner time. Uraraka Shige was still in the restaurant kitchen preparing tableware with the other guys, just like in the morning and at noon. Even the ingredients needed for breakfast the next day were prepared the night before. Because of this, they didn't need to attend the 'lesson' after dinner. Instead, they had to prepare the ingredients in the restaurant kitchen. After they finished, they could even wash up and go back to their cells to rest.

The burly, short man arrived early for dinner and claimed the seat he had mentioned earlier. He even gave Uraraka Shige a smug look, but Uraraka Shige didn't care and simply chose a seat that looked nice to him and started working.

The position he chose was, of course, the position that someone else had said belonged to him. However, Uraraka Shige didn't care at all. In the end, the guy whose position had been taken by Uraraka Shige could only run to the very edge to do his work, just like the big, short guy at noon.

Just by looking at the intense resentment in the eyes of this guy and the burly dwarf, you could tell that these two would definitely look for an opportunity to deal with Uraraka Shige.

But that's a matter for the future.

After dinner and finishing the rest of her work, Uraraka Shige returned to her cell to rest. She had just fallen asleep when the 'lesson' after dinner ended, and Uraraka Shige's three 'cellmates' (the other two were recovering from injuries) returned to the group cell, waking Uraraka Shige up again.

Uraraka Shige wasn't angry, just slightly annoyed, and at the same time, he became more vigilant to prevent these three guys from retaliating against him... Although in reality they should wait until the other two had recovered before retaliating, but... who knows?

However, Uraraka Shige slept relatively well that night. The three guys didn't recklessly retaliate during the night's confrontation, but that was all. Apart from those three, the retaliation from the other two guys in the restaurant kitchen was obviously coming soon.

Because he wasn't quite used to the 'punishment' of working in the restaurant kitchen, Uraraka Shige up earlier than usual, but when he arrived at the kitchen, he found that he was the last one there. So when Uraraka Shige about to start working, he found that the only spot left for him was the one on the very edge.

In fact, Uraraka Shige himself didn't care. He finished his breakfast work in that very corner. However, while he was working, several other guys who also worked nearby would inexplicably sneer at him, which Uraraka Shige found hard to understand.

However, he didn't pay much attention to it, nor did he ask, but he kept it in mind.

Later, during the 'study' session, another guy he didn't recognize took the seat he had previously used. He didn't pay much attention to it at first, but after searching around the classroom, he discovered that the chairs that should have been with the other tables had been hidden somewhere. At the same time, the guy who had taken his seat would occasionally look at him and cast a mocking glance.

Although Uraraka Shige couldn't confirm whether this was the guy who hid the chair, it was clear that he should at least know something about it.

So Uraraka Shige went directly to the guy and questioned him, but the guy simply replied, "This is just the beginning."

Uraraka Shige was somewhat dissatisfied with this, but he didn't foolishly lash out, nor did he continue to question the guy. After all, it was just the loss of a chair, not a particularly serious matter. Moreover, Uraraka Shige could use this opportunity to exercise his body.

So, instead of activating his 'Quirk' to spend the 'lesson' in Uraraka Shige to another 'classroom' and got an unused chair, which he then sat in to complete the 'lesson'.

As for that guy who seemed to know something, Uraraka Shige didn't go looking for him. After this rather unfortunate chair incident, Uraraka Shige recalled the warning that Qu Zhi had given him about being targeted, and concluded that he would encounter similar situations again.

While in this Discipline Prison, he had plenty of time and didn't mind finding some amusement in this way to relieve his boredom.

However, when lunchtime arrived, Uraraka Shige suddenly changed her mind slightly.

Inside the restaurant kitchen, he found himself being ostracized by the other guys who were also in charge of handling ingredients. They not only banded together to force him to sit on the very edge of the kitchen, but also swapped the ingredients he was responsible for with the lowest quality ones that required the most processing. They even used their numbers and overall strength to try to get Uraraka Shige to do some of their work before he could start his own.

This situation made Uraraka Shige burst into laughter, because this kind of thing existed in his most profound memory from his previous life...

That is...

"Is this targeted...? Heh... Well, Discipline Prison is still a prison... It's only natural that bullying would exist in a place like this..."

... That's... a 'test' that almost always happens before 'bullying' occurs!
