Looking back on his days at his middle School, letting Itadori be the class monitor always felt... a bit risky.
"I vote for Momo! The tactics she used to defeat Iida and his team yesterday were so cool!" said Mina, her eyes shining with admiration.
"Me too," Uraraka said, scratching the back of her head.
"Me too," added Tsuyu, pointing at her face.
It seemed that Momo had nearly all the female students in the class supporting her.
Itadori hadn't expected anyone to back him up when he walked in.
At that moment, Tokoyami, who was sitting in the back row on the right, said, "I think you have the strength for it."
"Is this what they mean by Stand Users being drawn to each other?" Itadori almost said it out loud.
"It really needs to be someone strong!" Inasa chimed in.
It appeared he, too, had voted for Itadori.
Todoroki opened his mouth to speak but ultimately chose to stay silent; he still didn't know much about his classmates.
Naturally, he also think the strongest person should take the lead.
And so, the positions were set:
Monitor: Momo
Vice-Monitor: Itadori
Itadori was relieved to be the vice monitor. Any actual work could be left to Momo.
Since his fight with Izuku Midoriya from ONE.FOR.ALL, Itadori still hadn't gotten the outcome he wanted. He was focused on awakening his power, leaving little time to worry about anything else.
In addition to the class monitor and vice monitor, the roles of discipline committee member and study committee member were assigned.
Yoarashi Inasa and Shoto Todoroki took those positions.
Aside from Momo, the other three roles all involved combat capabilities.
However, Tenya Iida, who seemed like the ideal candidate for class leader, didn't get a role. He had been eliminated instantly by the trap Momo set during combat training yesterday.
After the morning classes, everyone started heading to the cafeteria for lunch.
"Itadori-kun, aren't you coming?" Momo, who was with Mina and some other girls, looked back and asked with a frown.
"I just want to take a walk and rest," Itadori replied.
"Then I'll bring you something to eat. What would you like to eat?" Momo offered warmly.
Seeing this, Sero, Kaminari, and the others looked envious.
"Same as you," Itadori answered, leaving this somewhat awkward response as he slipped out through the back door, hoping to avoid being teased about gossip by Mina and the others.

On the rooftop of the UA building, Itadori held a small pistol to his temple. This gun had been created by Momo using her Quirk.
Bang!
As Itadori pulled the trigger, a bullet shot out from the dark barrel and struck his head. But his expression didn't change.
His Stand, [The World], had materialized, effortlessly catching the bullet between its fingers. The bullet's tip was less than a centimeter from Itadori's temple.
"In terms of precision and power, it's comparable to Jotaro's Star Platinum, let alone Dio's original," Said Itadori, looking at [The World]. "Only a thin line remains between me and fully awakening [The World], but that line is the hardest to cross."
Unfortunately, [The World] wasn't a Stand with independent consciousness. It couldn't tell its master why he hadn't crossed that line yet. Even Itadori didn't know, because it was his own Stand—not Dio's.
Suddenly, he sensed something strange.
Looking out toward the edge of UA's campus, he saw flashes of white light.
Looking closely, he realized it wasn't light, but ice! An ice attack, much like Todoroki Shoto's Quirk!
What was going on? Was someone from Todoroki's family fighting?
Just then, an alarm sounded, signaling an enemy attack.
The entire campus fell into chaos, but Itadori wasn't interested in that. The ice quirk attack from outside the school had piqued his curiosity.
Based on what he knew about Todoroki's background, Shoto was the only sibling who had successfully inherited a dual Quirk. So who was fighting with an ice quirk now?
"Maybe I should go check it out."
Letting [The World] overlay his own body, Itadori leaped from the rooftop, landing in the center of the playground.
He was ready to jump over the fence to investigate further.
"Mmmm!"
At that moment, a cry of pain echoed nearby.
Itadori turned to see a fellow U.A. student in uniform, a muscular figure with a rather unusual, stone-like face. He was kneeling, clutching his head and trembling.
This guy... Itadori vaguely remembered him from the elimination match with Inasa. What was his name again? He couldn't recall.
"That's... terrifying…" The boy stammered, clearly frightened. "This voice... it's so angry."
"What are you talking about?" Itadori asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Ah?" Despite his burly frame, he backed away nervously.
"It's just... I, Koji Koda, used my quirk to sense…"
"Koji Koda!"
An orange-haired girl with a side ponytail ran over. Seeing her classmate's fearful look, she glared at Itadori. "Who are you? Did you bully Koda-kun?"
"Itadori-kun!"
Just then, Momo, Mina, Tsuyu, and the others came over, holding lunch boxes.
Seeing the tense situation, they asked, "What's going on here?"
"Are you from Class A?" The orange-haired girl narrowed her eyes, suspiciously. "This guy did something to our classmate just now…"
"No, no, no!" Koda, visibly flustered, waved his hands to clarify, preventing an all-out confrontation.
"I'm sorry, I overreacted!" The girl, introducing herself as Itsuka Kendo from Class B, quickly bowed in apology.
"It's okay; don't worry about it," Momo replied with a smile.
"Aaah!" Koda suddenly screamed in fright, startling everyone around.
Itadori looked up and noticed something strange in the sky.
A shadow passed overhead at a speed nearly imperceptible to the naked eye—like a fighter jet in a steep dive.
"[The World]!" Itadori muttered, smirking.
[The World] shot forward, attempting to intercept the flying shadow.
---
As [The World] launched from Itadori's body to catch the swiftly moving shadow, the figure suddenly let out a shrill scream.
A sharp, biting chill flooded the area, causing Momo and the others to shiver, feeling the intense cold similar to Shoto's ice quirk.
In a flash, the cold air thickened, slowing [The World]'s movements by half a second.
Whoosh!
The shadow twisted in midair, like a piercing arrow, and shot past [The World].
A thin bloodline appeared on the side of [The World]'s face, trickling with blood.
