*Context* MC made a deal with the warden to protect the ML in exchange for her release. She wore a bracelet to change her appearance to a man, and went to the male side of the prison to become the rookie guard assigned to the prison newcomer ML. After a few months, she had a fight with a prisoner and she was demoted back to prisoner lol. This scene is after MC was demoted and she and ML were just moved to a 2 person cell, they've been talking for a bit but I grabbed this part to show you.

"... You know a lot about the Tower."

"Of course, it's because I'm a guard."

I'll give him full points for not having any complaints. Plus 100 bonus points for being handsome.

"You're being nice today, so should I tell you something more?"

"What's nice about me?"

"Despite glaring at me, you don't voice any complaints."

"..."

"Do you know what the most important thing is for a prisoner who enters here for the first time?"

Helios remained silent for a moment. At the same time as asking the question, a memory replayed itself in my mind. It was a very old memory.

'When I first entered the 1st floor, I thought I was going to die for real.'

The 1st floor was so challenging that even adults have a hard time enduring it. I was only twelve years old at the time. Somehow, I survived and made it out. In the confinement cell where I returned, I remembered something I saw for the first time- an affectionate smile from a woman.

He raised his head at the voice.

"The answer is 'backing'."

"Huh?"

"Because you're weak, quickly cling to the strong."

"..."

"It's not being a pushover. It's something necessary for survival."

I rolled my body and laid on my side facing Helios.

"In that sense, you've met a very good master, haven't you?"

"In the end, you kept praising yourself..."

Helios let out a sigh, as if losing strength, and lay on the bed on the right.

'He didn't turn off the lights.'

I stared at the ceiling for a moment and then moved my gaze.

"Helios! Something big happened."

"... What's going on?"

"It's really serious. Come over here quickly."

Helios frowned but got up and approached me. Despite his grumbling, he listens well. His appearance might suggest that he could manipulate and make others do anything for him, but surprisingly, he never asked for any favors. He was a young man with a righteous heart. However, it was said that humans like him eventually turn dark. I chuckled while looking at him.

"Turn off the lights."

"... What?"

"I'm telling you to turn them off."

"..."

"Please turn them off, my disciple?"

Helios cursed at me. It was no longer a surprising occurrence. And as he grumbled with curses and reluctantly approached to turn off the lights, I used Kia to turn them off.

"So, how's the ability of your master?"

The night ending with strings of curses.

---

*More Context* Kia is synonymous with Mana/Ki/Magic it is the magical force humans can utilize as a weapon. MC can use all types of Kia, so turning off a light switch without touching it is easy.

*Context* Following the previous spoiler, this is the first night MC, who just got demoted from guard to male prisoner, and ML spent the night together in their 2 person cell.

"It's a beautiful morning, so wake up."

"How do you know it's a nice day when there are no windows in this room?"

"It's just a feeling, a hunch."

A moment later, the wake-up alarm echoed throughout the prison.

"The day is finally here, the day~"

What a strange person.

'He didn't seem like this when he was a guard.'

When he was a guard, he dressed neatly and although there was something strange about him, he tried to imitate the behavior of a proper guard. Of course, he seemed to believe that he was an excellent guard himself. But now, his rumpled clothes remained disheveled as he had just woken up. He didn't pay any attention to it at all, even though it happened only moments ago. And his way of speaking seemed different too. The more he saw him... He seemed to have a screw loose.

****

Can you smell the love? That's our MC, the one described as having a screw loose by ML LMAO. Well, MC grew up in the prison so this is her daily life. She came in 10 years before the ML when she was age 12, so she's 22 years old welcoming her normal day.

The male lead and his team were dying most of the time. Meanwhile, she was casually sitting in the back, cheering for them... And even in one of the floors, the boss was too strong for the male lead and his team to defeat, so she killed the boss, disguises herself, and then she starts attacking them... lmao

Well suprise suprise, he actually does...
