Mrs. Nishi kept her promise, so the other training sessions were easier than the previous one. Only Yamato and I continued training because Ryo Takahashi and Hana Inoue were still in the prison infirmary. So I decided to go visit them.
As soon as I entered the infirmary, Inoue screamed with joy. In an excited and cheerful tone, she said: «Thank you for coming to visit me. Me your number ONE fan!» She started making gestures to show that she was honored.
Me: «Stop the act. I'm not here just for you. I'm also here for Takahashi.»
Wait. That's when I realized that Ryo and Jiro had the same last name. I decided to ask the question, even though my body started trembling with embarrassment.
Me: «My question might sound weird or intrusive, but do you know Jiro Takahashi?»
Ryo froze in surprise at that question. Suddenly, a look of sadness crossed his eyes. Tears were already starting to form. Seeing that made me feel uncomfortable.
Me: «You don't have to answer if you don't want to, and sorry for asking.»
After saying that, I left the infirmary.

Random Guard (Me)
It's 8 p.m., and I've been assigned to Block S to become a prisoner's tutor for one week.
Me: «I'm really unlucky. Why me?»
I sighed, but I had to do it if I didn't want to get killed. I arrived at the cell of the inmate I was assigned to. I opened the door, but then my body started trembling with fear. My instincts told me I had made a fatal mistake. But the damage was already done.

MC (Me)
It's 9 p.m., and I'm doing push-ups in my dorm. Suddenly, I hear a scream of despair. The scream is loud — a mix of agony and hopelessness. It lasts for about three minutes before stopping. Just as it ends, I receive a message on my phone. The message is from Ishiro. It says that I must come to his office.
I mutter: «Maybe it has something to do with that scream.»
Without asking too many questions, I head to his office.
Inside, Ishiro was sitting on a comfortable chair, reading a famous novel.
I entered and said: «Why did you call me here?»
Ishiro replied: «Calm down, don't be so cold. Sit down first.»
I reluctantly sat down, keeping a two-meter distance from him.
Ishiro: «Would you like something to drink?»
Me: «Stop your act and your little manipulations. Let's get to the point.»
Ishiro put down his book, crossed his legs, and gave me a cold look.
Ishiro: «I finally found a punishment for you. You'll be the tutor of a prisoner.»
I was surprised by the news, but I did my best to appear calm and said: «But all the prisoners are over 18, so none of them need a tutor!»
Ishiro smiled and said: «Good observation. But like everything, there's an exception to the rule.»
Suddenly, he pulled a photo out of his pocket. The photo showed a teenager — an angelic face, white hair, extremely handsome, with an innocent look.
Ishiro: «He's cute, isn't he? His name is Tōgua Kishima. He's 14 years old and nicknamed "The Little Devil."»
My eyes widened in shock. I lost my composure and shouted: «What is a kid doing in prison? That's illegal!»
Ishiro replied: «It's simple. He's a demon disguised as an angel. Before ending up here, he drove his mother to suicide, poisoned his teacher, pushed ten psychiatrists into depression, and manipulated the police. This kid is a monster.»
Me: «Why not send him to a hospital?»
Ishiro sighed and said: «We did, but he escaped. He's not an ordinary kid — his IQ is 185. But since he's still a minor, he has to go to school, so we decided he'll study here and stay in Block S as a prisoner.»
Me: «And what does that have to do with my punishment?»
Ishiro smiled and answered: «It's simple. You'll be his tutor for a week.»
After that conversation, I left his office and sighed.

Author's Word
Sorry for the lack of chapters, but as I said, I'm a high school student. For the past six days, I was on a school trip. I'm really sorry, and when I don't post a chapter, it means it's because of school.
