Prison School +Plus

"Alright, everyone, I understand that some of you might be aware of this already, but for those who aren't, let me give you a quick rundown."

All the students were fixated on the female teacher, who stood confidently before the blackboard. Being educators at Hachimitsu Academy, they are bound by the code of professionalism. Consequently, the majority of them exhibit a distinct lack of concern regarding the fate of the five male students who have been subjected to punishment.

"I am uncertain about the duration of their study with us, but for today, the male students will be accompanying you. Is there anything specific you wish to ask about?"

Sitting in the front seat, Chiyo was the first to raise her hand. As everyone eagerly awaited her question, she finally spoke up, "Will the male students be joining us in our studies here?"

Her actions left many in astonishment, yet as they pondered further, the true significance of her intentions became apparent. During that period, male students also studied alongside female students. However, they could not physically attend the classroom. Instead, they relied on a camera that live-streamed the teacher's lessons from their imprisonment.

"I find myself torn between feelings of happiness and sadness for you, but the male students will join you for a study session in this same class."

The sound of a heavy impact reverberated through the room.

In that very instant, the door to the classroom swung open abruptly, revealing Meiko's entrance. She strode in with an air of self-confidence before offering a calm apology for her lateness, "Apologies for my slight delay. It seems these sluggish pigs suddenly grew anxious for some strange reason."

All eyes turned towards the door. The hearts of the female students raced with anticipation, for they knew that the notorious group of five male students, often referred to as sex criminals and beasts, were about to enter their classroom.

"Their gazes were so scary. I heard the Underground Student Council punished them for committing serious crimes."

"Their aura is gloomy. Are they really going to study with us?"

"I can feel it. They seem to have planned something evil already."

Kiyoshi, Gakuto, Shingo, Andre, and Joe proceeded to introduce themselves, but unfortunately, their introductions did nothing to alleviate the negative impression they had made. With the exception of Kiyoshi, who displayed an unexpected composure, it could be said that the rest of the group had a rather unfortunate beginning due to their excessive nervousness.

The applause filled the room as hands came together in a synchronized rhythm. The teacher could feel the awkward atmosphere starting to build. Therefore, she wanted to make this introduction quick.

"Alright, Vice President Meiko, I wholeheartedly embrace and acknowledge your viewpoints as a teacher. Rest assured, I will be as neutral as possible. Are you satisfied with that?"

"I'll leave the decision up to you, but let me remind you, the five of them are wild beasts, and if you feel you can't handle it, the teacher can always punish them severely."

Meiko, normally greeted with cheers wherever she went, suddenly found herself unnoticed as the female students' attention shifted entirely towards the boys. As she prepared to shut the door, she cast Kiyoshi a significant glance, laden with unspoken messages, before ultimately leaving.

Once again, the teacher clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention...

Following that, the teacher issued a directive to the fresh-faced students, instructing them to take their seats in the chairs conveniently arranged at the back. The positions were arranged with a generous amount of space between them. However, despite the distance, Gakuto, Shingo, Andre, and Joe appeared as though they had just been bestowed with the most precious of gifts. Their hearts overflowed with unending joy.

"Kiyoshi-..." Chiyo, on the verge of calling out the name of someone she recognized, hesitated for a moment. It was unclear what doubts were swirling in her mind, but the smile on her face revealed a palpable sense of relief.

-***-

The lesson carried on peacefully, with the teacher no longer harboring concerns about potential misbehavior on our part. Instead, she dedicated herself wholeheartedly to delivering a professional and engaging teaching experience. On numerous occasions, the individuals seated beside me displayed a regrettable lack of concentration, frequently diverting their attention towards the female students' figures. It was during these instances that the teacher reprimanded them.

I must admit, I, too, have found myself captivated by the sight of certain female students, including Chiyo, Mayumi, and Satou. So, I can't deny that I haven't experienced the same allure. It was a relief to see that all three of them still held the same opinion of me.

The passage of time seemed to accelerate as the bell for the first break abruptly chimed, startling everyone in the classroom. The palpable tension in the air was evident, affecting every student present. As the quartet of dimwits released their breaths in a collective display of disappointment, a wave of relief washed over the female students, prompting a wry smile on my lips.

"Okay, everyone, make sure you remember what you learned this time. This also applies to the five of you. I expect something from you."

As my eyes trailed the teacher's departure from the classroom, I couldn't help but feel a pang of disappointment. It was disheartening to witness such wasted potential, especially considering how genuinely kind-hearted the teacher turned out to be. And just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, my attention shifted to Andre, visibly out of breath and slumped in his chair. The harsh reality hit me once again like a slap in the face. It wasn't just him. Gakuto, Shingo, and Joe also had those unmistakable perverted expressions on their faces.

"Hi, Kiyoshi! It feels like ages since we last met... well, maybe not that long, hehehe…" My heart threatened to escape my chest as Chiyo and her two friends approached me. Their proximity indicated a temporary lapse in their vigilance, reserved solely for my presence.

"That's true... but I still didn't expect the three of you to be in the same class."

"I must say, I'm taken aback by the news that you'll join our class. It's rather unexpected, you see. And let me tell you, Chiyo has been quite concerned about your well-being," From the way Mayumi kept sneaking glances into my side, it was clear that she was worried about potentially offending the boys.

"Stop it, Mayumi, I'm not exaggerating like you said... talking about worrying, you're even worse."

"Don't get me wrong. I'm worried about you, who are worried about Kiyoshi, oops..." Chiyo and I exchanged glances, a silent understanding passing between us. Laughter bubbled up from within, filling the air. However, the pleasant atmosphere took an unexpected turn when Satou leaned in, her voice barely audible as she whispered into my ear:

"You better not look to the side. From the look in their eyes, they want to kill you."

Hearing that warning, a jolt of realization coursed through me, shattering the illusion of solitude. In an instant, a chilling sweat enveloped my trembling body. I suddenly felt the weight of a penetrating stare fixed upon me. Just as I found myself at a loss for what to do, a gentle tap on my shoulder startled me.

"I didn't expect what Kiyoshi-dono said to be true. Could you introduce your friends to us?"
