A muscular girl is presented to the passionate world of crossover anime.

“That’s right, that’s not a foul…” the one Kumi called “Grandma” spoke up: “If this were early judo.”

She further explained, "Judo, which evolved from ancient Jujutsu, was originally a comprehensive martial art. In its early days, in addition to grappling, it also allowed strikes, kicks, and even joint locks. However, modern Judo has become a sport, and gradually no one learns these non-rules techniques anymore."

"Hehe, that's right, Mifune is right." Shikato continued, "If I remember correctly, the reason Samejima was only an Olympic reserve and not a starter was..."

"I almost killed a regular player in the qualifiers." Samejima Toshiki remained calm, as if he were talking about a trivial matter: "I don't care about rules. The Olympics is a festival of sports, but what I pursue is the martial arts of actual combat. That's why the 13th Judo Club is the 'Fighting Judo Club'."

His icy gaze swept over the members of the Extreme Stream: "You'd better not run into us during the school competition, or I can't guarantee your safety."

"Heh, quite the spirit, little brother." Lu Dou didn't take the provocation to heart: "Don't you want to settle things with us, this potential rival, right here?"

Samejima glanced at Kotaro and Hyakutaro, who were sprawled on the ground: "Didn't you two already take care of yourselves? I have no interest in the remaining old people, women, and chicks. Get lost!"

"Who's the little chick!" Mifune Kumi was very dissatisfied, but she was of little power and could only go with Sanshiro and Mayumi to take away the unconscious Kotaro and Hyakutaro.

Hanon and Mieko followed her out. Hanon thought for a moment and asked her, "Mieko, aren't you going to invite Samejima to join Kengan?"

"That person is so scary, he seems really unapproachable, I'm so afraid..." Miho felt she couldn't handle Samejima, and her confidence waned even further.

Originally, Kanon wouldn't have minded going to talk on behalf of Miho, but she didn't like Samejima, who was as cold and ruthless as a demon. After thinking about it, she decided against it: "The world is so big, there's still time, we can always find a suitable fighter... Isn't that extreme style interesting? I didn't go into detail with Master Shikato last time, so why don't we go and take a look?"

Hello, the author is in great spirits today too~

Regarding Samejima Toshiki's strength as an Olympic "alternate," Olympic representatives are naturally stronger than ordinary Japanese national representatives, and Samejima's strength is far greater than that of the Olympic regulars. Think about it, wasn't there a judoka in the Kengan tournament? That's right, it was Meguro Masaki (why do judokas all have "tree" in their names? Strange~).

Meguro wiped out his entire family at the age of 13. His family's three strongest members and his father were all top-tier fighters, representing Japan or slightly stronger. The author here assumes Samejima and Meguro's father were at the same level, or slightly stronger. Therefore, Samejima's strength can be considered to be at the level of a 13-year-old Meguro… Not inviting him to fight is the author's way of being kind to him, lol.

Section 23, Chapter 23: The Red Ribbon!

The Mifune family's residence is not far from Tsurumine Academy. It's a two-story villa with a large backyard and a small dojo.

At that moment, in the dojo, Suoh Mieko had just made a decision.

"Kanon... I'm not going to be the president anymore..." Miho was excited, as if she had seen God. From now on, life was not worth living, and she would no longer care about material things.

"I want to stay and learn judo!"

Why don't you just fly to the heavens? Why don't you sing, dance, and rap? Why don't you just say, "JoJo, I don't want to be human anymore"?

Hana looked at her friend with a black line on her face. There had been too many off-topic things happening today, and she could feel her mouth twitching.

“However…” Kanon ignored Mihono for a moment, and instead turned to look at the “little girl” who looked exactly like Mifune Kumi: “This is actually Kumi’s grandmother, she’s aged so well!”

Just now, Kanon and the others caught up with the members of the Extreme Stream. Everyone was very friendly, and they chatted for a while before returning to the Mifune family home together. Through introductions, it turned out that the person who looked exactly like Kumi was actually Kumi's grandmother, Mifune!

This elderly woman, over sixty years old, looks exactly like Kumi Mifune, from her skin to her physical condition. After dyeing her hair black, they look like twins and are hard to tell apart. It truly makes one marvel at the wonder of the Creator.

Miho had completely become a fan of this youthful-looking old lady: "So judo is really amazing! Hey, hey, Kanon, let's stay and practice judo."

Kanon reached out and pinched Miho's cheek: "I can stay, but you... don't forget that Suoh Steel has thousands of people waiting for you to pay their salaries and feed them. Don't talk about abandoning the company like that!"

"Waaah, Kanon is so strict..." Miho is actually a college student, so she knows what's important. She's just been under too much pressure lately, which is why she had the idea of ​​throwing everything away for a moment.

After being reprimanded by Kanon, Miho stopped mentioning the matter of becoming a judo apprentice. However, she was still very interested in that super old lady and asked her all sorts of beauty and health tips. She dragged it out until it got dark and time for dinner, and Kanon and the others stayed for a casual meal.

"Grandma Mifune, you're amazing!" Mieko, still in fangirl mode at the dinner table, kept chatting with the old lady and asking all sorts of questions: "Does judo really help with beauty and skin care? Do you have to reach your level? By the way, what judo dan are you? Black belt?"

"Oh no, Grandma, you pretended to be me today and even stole my black belt!" Mifune Kumi realized what was happening and quickly went back into the house to find another belt: "Please wear your own belt, okay? Don't pretend to be me!"

It was a red band with white horizontal stripes in the middle.

"Red...red belt?" Hanon was taken aback. She didn't understand the belt ranking system; all she knew was that a black belt meant a very high-ranking person. A red belt was a first for her. So, with the mindset of not asking for help, Hanon pulled out her phone and started searching online...

The internet in this world is still in the 3G era, and smartphones are not widespread. Kanon's phone scrolled for a long time without any results, so Saigo Sanshiro, who was standing next to her, simply explained it to her.

"The ranking system first appeared in the field of Go, and in 1884, Jigoro Kano, the founder of modern judo, introduced it to the martial arts world to encourage his students. In judo, there are ten dan ranks, and five kyu ranks below the first dan. Beginners from the fifth to the third kyu without dan wear white belts, while beginners from the third to the first kyu wear brown belts. However, in recent years, some regions have further subdivided the five kyu without dan, with each kyu having a corresponding colored belt..."

"From 1st to 5th dan, all wear black belts. Those above 6th dan wear red and white striped belts. As for red belts, only those above 9th dan are qualified to wear them. Oh, and all female wrestlers' belts have white stripes inserted into them..."

Finally, Sanshiro added, "Although I've practiced judo for ten years, I'm still just a white belt. Kumi is much better; she's a black belt. Actually, most of us in the Kyokushū-ryū are white belts. The new headmaster may have a black belt, but... oh dear!"

Kotaro kicked Sanshiro over: "Just say 'old lady' if you're going to talk about an old lady, don't drag me into it!"

Kanon and Mieko ignored their playful banter, with Mieko's eyes sparkling: "Grandma Mifune is a ninth-dan master! That's amazing!"

“Indeed, in the more than 130-year history of judo, Japan has only produced 15 judo 10th dans, and most of them were veterans from the Kodokan era. Judo federations in other countries have only awarded 3 10th dan titles. In recent years, with the 10th dan practically extinct, the 9th dan represents the pinnacle of judo!” Rubbing his head, Sanshiro still finished his explanation.

"Actually, I only recently got it myself, so I might not actually have the strength of a ninth dan~" The old lady always smiled and was very humble.

"Mmm~" Miho was quite excited, and even Kanon respected the old lady more and more. At the same time, she was also tempted: "This old lady is also a very powerful expert. Maybe I can ask her for some advice."

As if on cue, after finishing his meal and resting for a bit, Shindo Kotaro started clamoring to practice—but he was clearly too full, and after a few words he stopped, deciding to rest first.

"This guy is clearly a master, but his personality is so eccentric..." Kanon could tell that Shindo Kotaro's strength was definitely not weak. His muscles were the result of countless hours of training, making him a monster among high school students. He could even put up a fight against a boxing match.

However, thanks to Kotaro's eccentricities, Kanon, who hadn't eaten too much, had the opportunity to ask the old lady for advice alone. Of course, the reason wasn't "fighting underground boxing," but rather "being very interested in judo."

This consultation was quite in-depth. Compared to the unreliable Shikato, the explanation from martial arts master Mifune was much more detailed and systematic. The two talked until late at night, and Kanon's understanding of the martial arts world broadened considerably.

Previously, Kanon was just an observer watching others fight, relying on guesswork to understand many things. Now, she understands the various elements of combat, such as rhythm, judgment, and timing, and her martial arts theory level has skyrocketed.

"Thank you so much!" Seeing that it was already late at night, and that Miho had fallen asleep, and the old lady was also very sleepy, Kanon had no choice but to say goodbye.

Before leaving, Hanon promised to come back tomorrow so she could continue to learn from the old lady.

"I'll arrive early tomorrow; maybe I can even participate in the Extreme Flow combat training!" Hanon said confidently, like a child who had received a new toy, feeling excited all over!

"I really want to go back and hit the punching bag... but my uncle has been keeping an eye on me lately, so I don't dare to practice so exaggeratedly anymore. Now I have to send Mieko back."

Miho was sleeping soundly, leaning on Hanon's shoulder.

The rank system in judo is really complicated. That explanation referenced the original manga and some current judo grading systems, so it's technically correct.

In reality, a 10th dan in judo is more like an honorary title. The theoretical level may be very high, but it may not necessarily mean that one can actually fight. It's not a fantasy world. The principle that youth has the advantage in boxing is an age-old truth.

There is a Japanese woman named Keiko Fukuda who holds the 9th dan at the Kodokan Judo Association in Japan. However, because she taught judo in the United States for many years, she eventually obtained the 10th dan certification from the USA Judo Association.

As usual, there's one more chapter today. The Crane Peak Academy arc is temporarily over, and the next chapter will turn to "Muscle Girl"!

Section 24, Chapter 24: Let's Arm Wrestle!

When Hibiki Sakura and her group entered the changing room, they saw Kanon changing her clothes.

"Oh, it's Kanon! Where have you been lately? I haven't seen you at the gym at all."

"Haha, I've been participating in some judo training lately, but the dojo is quite far away, so I haven't been here," Hana replied cheerfully.

Recently, she has been going to San Chuan's house every day to learn judo from the red-belt grandma, and she also participates in extreme style sparring from time to time, and her fighting skills have improved by leaps and bounds again.

At the beginning, the Kyokugenryu school introduced Hyakutaro, who was also a judo novice, as Kanon's training partner. This karate expert was thinking of not bullying a weak woman, but as soon as they started sparring, Kanon threw him away, leaving him dizzy and disoriented, which stunned everyone on the spot.

While Kanon's current strength may not be at its peak, it's certainly seven or eight times greater than an average person's, and that doesn't even include the bonus from her signature move, "Exploding Core." If she applied that power to judo, how could a fellow novice like Hyakutaro possibly withstand it?

After that, Kanon basically only practiced the basic stances, occasionally sparring with the old lady. After all, the old lady was a red belt master, and Kanon's unbeatable strength had no effect on her. She even had difficulty grabbing the old lady's clothes, and was easily knocked down every time.

However, as she practiced more, Kanon clearly felt that she was much stronger than before.

Grandma's practical guidance is in high demand, and Shindo Kotaro has been monopolizing it. Considering that the Extreme Style is about to participate in the school competition, Kanon did not try to compete for the opportunity to practice.

"Kanon, you really love martial arts!" Hibiki exclaimed, having noticed long ago that Kanon was extremely interested in these things.

Hanon didn't want to talk about it anymore and changed the subject directly: "It's alright, it's alright. On your side, it seems your lineup has actually expanded after not seeing you for a while."

It turns out that the female fitness team at Huangying Academy has gained another member. She is a beauty with a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, and she is much older than Xiang and the others.

"Oh, this is my homeroom teacher, Ms. Tachibana Satomi. She's here to exercise too," Hibiki introduced.

After exchanging greetings with Ms. Tachibana, everyone walked into the practice room together.

After a while, everything at Mr. Silver's gym was as usual, except for a poster on the door.

"An arm-wrestling competition?" "And there's a prize? 100,000 yen!" "Wow, that's just enough to buy the home theater I've always wanted!"

The girls started chattering, especially Xiang, who seemed very interested in it.

"Yes, an arm wrestling competition... Ah, it's been a long time, Kanon." Coach Machio walked over to greet him as a matter of course, and also explained the principles and techniques of arm wrestling.

It's been a long time since we've seen Brother Meat's muscle-building tutorial.

After the explanation, Coach Machigaki noticed that Kanon looked thoughtful, so he asked, "Kanon, is there anything you don't understand?"

"Hmm, I'm just wondering why you didn't have your clothes ripped off..." Kanon started talking nonsense with a straight face. It has to be admitted that after spending a lot of time with the extreme group, Kanon has also become a bit out of touch.

"Kanon, you're actually set up as a comedic character?" Hibiki Sakura continued to make sarcastic remarks as always.

Next, Coach Jie Xiong invited several girls to try an arm-wrestling match, and they all readily agreed.

First, it was Ayaka Uehara who spoke to Hibiki Sagura.

"Ready—Go!" "Bang!"

No sooner had Coach Jie Xiong finished speaking than the outcome of the match was decided, with Xiang instantly suppressing Cai Yexiang.

Ayaka was so shocked that the art style was completely off. Should that face be from "Fist of the North Star" or "JoJo"?

"Wow, wow, what am I fighting?"

"That child...does he possess this level of power?" Teacher Rimi, standing to the side, was also completely bewildered.

Only Kanon remained unhurried and even had the mood to complain: "Pfft, this art style is just like reading a shonen manga!"

Then came Kanon and Akemi—no, just as Akemi was about to step forward, Machi stopped her: "It's been a while, let me test Kanon's strength!"

So Kanon and Masao posed, their hands clasped together. The petite Kanon and the strong Masao were a striking contrast, like a beauty and a beast.

"Kane's really in trouble now!" Hibiki complained from the side, "The size difference is too big, isn't this a standard competition between an adult and a child?"

“No, I have a feeling that if it’s Kanon, maybe…” Ayaka frowned, sensing that things were not so simple.

"Hey, Uehara-kun, your face hasn't changed back yet." Satomi-sensei was also a master of witty remarks.

As for the center of the "battlefield," Machio was actually quite excited: "Come on, Kanon, bring it on!"

In reality, Machio was thinking, "Hmph, those girls can't tell, but Kanon, my friend, your muscles have grown a lot lately. How could I, as your coach, not feel it? Let me test your true strength!"
