The bell rang for the last class of the afternoon. The students in Class A stopped, wiped the sweat from their faces, and after Aizawa glanced at the time, said "It's over," the day's classes ended.

Wow--, it feels so good to soak my skin in cool water after exercising!

From the bathroom next to the changing room came Eijiro Kirishima's unrestrained voice.

Jilan Jiyu took off their gym clothes, changed into their school uniforms, straightened their collars, and said speechlessly, "Taking a cold shower right after strenuous exercise might cause dizziness, colds, or other symptoms, you know?"

"Squad leader, don't worry!" Kirishima's wet red hair peeked out from behind the curtain, giving him a thumbs-up and grinning, "I'm invulnerable to swords and spears, what can a mere cold shower do to me!"

"I don't care about you..."

Jilan Jiyu rolled their eyes, packed their things into the locker, and just as they came out of the dressing room, they heard Kirishima's scream behind them.

"Aaaaaah--I'm getting a muscle cramp! Someone, please help me!!"

Serves you right! You could have adjusted the water temperature in the bathroom, but you chose to shower with cold water. Even if you catch a cold tomorrow, nobody will care...

Although Jilan Jiyu thought this way, she still pulled Fumikage Tokoyami, who was running past her, and told him about Kirishima's current situation.

Originally, I Tokoyami overheard Jilan Jiyu talking about Kirishima, and he showed an impatient expression when he took a cold shower, and went straight to the changing room.

He had just taken off his coat when he heard that extremely pitiful scream. He sighed, and Dark Shadow appeared from behind his neck, wrapped around the fallen Kirishima, dragged him out of the bathroom, and threw him onto a blanket.

"Stop howling! Even crows can't stand your cawing!"

Kirishima obediently shut his mouth, curled up into a ball, covered himself with the blanket, and gave an awkward smile.

"How shameful! I'll never take a cold shower again..." Kirishima buried his face in the blanket, looking weak, helpless, and pitiful.

"Squad leader, what happened?"

Yaoyorozu looked curiously at the men's changing room from which the strange noise was coming, and asked Jilan Jiyu a question.

She was wearing a proper school uniform, and the skirt that fluttered in the wind made her legs look long. If you looked closely, you could also see that she had light makeup on her face, which concealed her slightly flushed face.

"It's nothing, let's go." Jilan Jiyu and Kirishima shook their heads. The matter of Kirishima was minor; they couldn't very well publicize it to their classmates of the opposite sex, could they?

"Huh? Where are Yaoyorozu and the class president going? Is it a date?"

Uraraka, drying her brown hair with a white towel, watched Jilan Jiyu and Momo Yaoyorozu walk one after the other toward the General Studies Course studies building, a shoulder's distance between them. Curious, she asked Jiro, who was leaning against the wall listening to music on his phone, "Weren't you standing here just now? Did you hear what they were saying?"

"Jiro, Jiro..." Uraraka waved her hand in front of her eyes when she saw that she didn't react.

"What did you say?" Kyoka Jiro pulled the Earphone Jack back from her phone, looked up, and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing..." Uraraka said with a wry smile, "Want to go home together?"

Midoriya injured his arm again due to working too hard during training. Although the injury was not serious and the squad leader provided emergency treatment, it still needed to be bandaged to prevent infection.

Even though Iida is still here, Uraraka doesn't really want to walk with Midoriya- kun if he's not around... Uraraka thought to herself.

Unbeknownst to Iida, he had already been given a "friend zone" card.

"Alright, let's go." Jiro didn't suspect anything. She was originally going to walk home anyway, but she received a news notification and couldn't resist reading it.

Uraraka glanced casually at Jiro's phone screen, which displayed an electronic poster: a minimalist black theme with cool, heavy metal-toned font. "'Soul' band reunites to challenge this noisy world!"

"A band? So Jiro likes this..." Uraraka didn't think too much about it and followed Kyoka Jiro's footsteps.

After talking with Shota Aizawa, Jilan Jiyu found Momo Yaoyorozu and told her, "If you don't have anything to do, don't leave after school this afternoon. Wait for me for a while."

On the way to the Student Council, he told Momo Yaoyorozu was blushing, that he wanted her to attend the Sports Festival meeting with him, and then he saw her expression change from shy to resentful.

"Class monitor... is it appropriate for me to attend the meeting?" Yaoyorozu quickly composed himself, saying with some worry, "I heard that only the class monitors from each class were invited this time. If I go, will people look at our Class A with strange eyes...?"

"What are you worried about? It's just a small meeting about the Sports Festival. Our Hero Course definitely has special privileges, right?"

Jilan Jiyu smiled nonchalantly, "Besides, you seem more like the class monitor than I am, so have some confidence. You must be used to big occasions, right?"

Although Yaoyorozu's combat suit was a bit revealing, and she herself didn't seem to care at all, anyone could tell that Momo Yaoyorozu was a sheltered young lady from a wealthy family, carrying the label of someone from the upper class. So when Jilan Jiyu heard Aizawa's words, Momo Yaoyorozu was the first person she thought of, after all, she was also the vice class representative and needed to make some contributions at crucial moments.

Simply put, Jilan Jiyu want the vice class monitor to be the first to step up and manage the class when needed, and to take on the class monitor's responsibilities when attending troublesome meetings.

Tenya Iida is doing a great job in class management, especially in the internal aspects. Jilan Jiyu is nurturing Yaoyorozu towards external development, so that he can comfortably be a class monitor who only needs to coast along.

"By the way, this time the situation might be a little different." Under Yaoyorozu's questioning gaze Jilan Jiyu continued, "The person who summoned us this time is the Student Council secretary. She's somewhat hostile towards our Hero Course and might target us during this meeting. But I'm not worried..."

Jilan Jiyu looked at Yaoyorozu with sincere eyes. "Because we have you here, our Athens of the Hero Course! Surely you won't let us fall into the hands of the Student Council!"

"Leave everything to me!" Yaoyorozu was a little flattered by the praise. This was the class monitor he had acknowledged. He couldn't let him down!

"Student Council secretary Erina Nakiri, right? I don't care what schemes you have against me. I'll just avoid the fight, won't I?" Jilan Jiyu let out a smug smile, as if he were the mastermind behind it all.
