Story
Jean had been skipping club activities ever since he entered the Wall Beautification Club. When Rico is scolding him for missing so many activities, Ian says for Rico to cut the first years some slack and for her to conserve her energy for the fair and folk dance coming up. When Rico agrees to this, he goes on his way.

During the Athletics Fair's Tama-ire Ball Toss competition, Ian's team plays against Jean's team. While Rico angrily remembers the trouble the first years caused for the Wall Beautification Club, Ian tries to calm her down by saying they had their reasons for causing trouble. Rico says that she does not care and that she does not want anyone to think they can control the upperclassmen and they must prove their superiority by showing the elders are better than any rookie. While Jean dominates the competition, people make comments about Jean's use of the vertical maneuvering gear and how the club is not raising their rookie right. After hearing these comments and seeing Jean's actions, Rico becomes angry and prepares to throw a ball at Jean. During this time, Ian does nothing to stop Jean or Rico. Eventually, Rico gets so out of control, Ian asks Rico what happened to her, but gets no response. Eventually, the first years are defeated by the upperclassmen and Rico attends the dance with Ian.
