Y/n's pov;
Me and everyone went back down the stairs to the first floor for the next round. "Next up is hyahunin isshu," Mitsuru announced. Nico tries to say it.

"I know that game. I learned that in learning classes, and not in a good way." I thought.

"It's like a card game, but with poems." Uno said.

"A hundred of them. One on each card" Jyugo said.

"So any Ideas on who to send?" Rock asked. We looked over at Hajime.

"Well, we got one at least." Hajime looks over at Seitarou. "You're up, Seitarou".

"Sir!" Seitarou says with a smile.

"Him, are you sure?!" Uno and Jyugo shouted, as my cellmates circled around Seitarou.

"Wait, so does this mean you're actually useful for something?" Uno asked.

"I kinda forgotten, you were actually here." Rock said.

"I didn't know you could read." Nico said.

Seitarou started to cry.

"Guys be nice to him, and stop being jerks." I said.

Hajime looks at me. "You're one to talk with that smart mouth of yours.".

"Yeah, but I don't pick on Seitarou. I feel bad picking on the nice ones." I said.

"Fair enough," Hajime said.

"The rules for hyahunin isshu, aka competitive karuta is very easy. The game itself requires Intense amount of mental focus! Three members are allowed to participate, that includes one guard." Mitsuru announced.

"So is it a six player game?" Rock asked.

"The third player is a substitute, in a likely event the player will collapse from mental exhaustion. The third is allowed to step in and take over, so the game can go on." Hajime said.

"Sounds pretty intense" Rock said.

"But what inmates should we send?" Seitarou asked.

"Hmm" Hajime hummed. Jyugo started getting nervous in the corner of my eye."Let's think about this".

"I can handle this" Uno stepped in.

"This isn't like blackjack, you moron!" Jyugo shouted.

"I know that, but card games are all the same." Uno said.

"No, it's not." I said.

"Yeah, that statement is false." Rock said.

"So who should our third person be?" Seitarou asked.

"No, no we don't need a third." Uno look at me and my other cellmates. "With all do respect for my other cellmates, there's no way they can do this. I mean Nico isn't quite brain dead, and Tb/n isn't feeling good, plus others are hopeless." Uno said.
