While the girls rehearse cheerleading routines for the upcoming sports festival, Eri accidentally cuts off Harima's beard and they improvise in many wild ways to keep him from finding out. Later, as he takes another of his manga stories to be evaluated, Harima receives the advice of hiring someone to help him out with story revision. However he is very reserved about showing his stories to anyone. As Class 2-C is choosing its representatives for the sports festival, Hanai notices Harima is missing and goes after him. An after-credits segment introduces Lara Gonzalez to the audience, as it is seen that she was the one who fought Karen in episode 18 - or rather, Tenma.
