In short, once this hurdle is overcome, the rest of the journey will be smooth sailing. Thanks to Kanon's skills, Chio feels like she's playing a game even more, and she has almost completely entered the game mode.

Finally, in a closed parking lot near the school, the group reached their destination. Chio was the first to jump down from the wall: "All clear, everything is normal, we can come out now, Kanon."

"...Received, received. Be careful at all times." Hanon was too lazy to complain about why the dialogue style had changed from Assassin's Creed to Secret Infiltration. Since there was no one around, she might as well just go along with Chio.

"Hehe, going to school with Hanon is great!" Chio said happily. "Now all I have to do is adjust my breathing and walk out the door with my head held high!"

Upon reaching the door, Chio paused, "Why is there another lewd old man? He seems to be looking at me and Hanon with a very lewd gaze?"

Hanon also saw the man and was a little annoyed. However, after teaching that lewd man who was showing off his wealth a lesson, she realized she needed to be more restrained. Besides, Chio was also there, so it was even more difficult for her to lose her temper. Therefore, she took Chio's arm and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm here. Let's go."

The two girls chose to be brave and walked out the door with their heads held high. Sure enough, the lecherous old man didn't say anything... He just silently took out his phone and took a picture of Hanon and Chio's backs. In the photo, on the building they had just walked out of, there was a bright sign: "Love Hotel".

Author's Note: The aftereffects of staying up all night on Double Twelve are here: dizziness, blurred vision, and a desperate need for sleep, but I have to go to work tomorrow... No, I'd better think about how to get through today...

Section 266, Chapter 264: I Can't Stand This Injustice

As the saying goes, "Even after a thousand miles of farewell, we must eventually part ways." When Hanon and Chio arrived at the main road in front of Samejima High School, it was time for them to part.

Chio waved goodbye with a grin: "Kanon, let's go to school together another day~ I don't have many friends, I'll introduce you to my best friend Manana next time."

"Okay, okay." Hanon nodded in agreement, watched Chio enter the campus, and then leaned against the street, watching the large group of students coming to school.

"It's so nice to be bustling around..." Hana said with emotion. "Come to think of it, I haven't been to school for many years. It seems nice to be able to experience a normal campus life again."

In her innermost little notebook, Kanon had already secretly written down the name of Samejima High School. The school pleased Kanon quite a bit; the students all seemed very serious, with an attitude of striving for excellence and high morale. There were even teachers at the gate using wooden swords to check for latecomers, so the school's discipline must be quite strict.

However, trouble soon followed.

"Hey, have you heard? Someone online is saying that some students at our school didn't come home at night and were seen leaving a love hotel with suspicious people early in the morning to go to school!"

"What?!" The discipline teacher, wielding the sword, was so shocked that he dropped the wooden sword. "Really? Our school actually has such a scoundrel?"

The commotion at the school gate quickly spread. Mobile internet was not yet very developed in this new world, but smartphones had already appeared, and basic websites had been set up. Soon, people saw a picture on social media, which was a photo of Hanon and Chio walking out of a love hotel.

"Wow, there are two girls!"

"That's right, that's right! One tall and one short, they look so good together! My inner fujoshi is about to be ignited!"

“One person is wearing our school uniform, while the other doesn’t look like someone from here.”

"You bet she is. Look at this T. You can tell she's a great beauty just from her back view, but she dresses in a neutral style. She's so cool."

"Hey, put away your fujoshi mentality... Judging by her figure, this beauty might be a college student, while the one at our school still has the figure of a child. Maybe she's some kind of perverted fetishist!"

"...No way, she's so beautiful..."

"Hey, look! Aren't those people over there wearing similar clothes?"

"As expected! Wow, is that the cool tomboy sister taking her lover to school? How romantic~"

Similar conversations could be seen everywhere at the entrance of Samejima High School. Kanon gradually realized that people looked at her differently—not unfriendly, but with a complex mix of curiosity, expectation, and disgust, as if she had become a rare animal.

"What's wrong with these people?" Hua Yin racked her brains but couldn't figure out what had happened. It wasn't until people's curiosity about her grew that some of them boldly approached to discuss it, which Hua Yin overheard, and that's when she found out what had happened.

After taking out her phone and glancing at it, Hana was stunned: "This... it's best to leave!"

Hanon made a pretty decisive decision. After realizing the situation she was in, she immediately took action—running away! But not by running, because there were too many students here, and if she ran, she could easily bump into someone. Hanon didn't want to cause a fatality, so she chose to take a taxi.

She jumped into the car and shouted to the driver, "Go, go, go quickly!"

"Eh? Guest, are you going to..."

"The farther the better, the faster the better... Get out of the city! Yes, get out of the city!" Hua Yin felt that waiting for even a second longer was torture, and kept urging him on, forcing the taxi driver to step on the gas and speed away into the distance.

"Hahaha, is that super pretty female t-shirt shy?" The students from Samejima High School behind them left a series of laughs. Although Kanon couldn't hear them, she could imagine what the situation was like.

"Ugh—this is so embarrassing!" Hana's face turned bright red, and she buried herself in her arms, letting out the loudest scream she'd ever heard in both her lives combined.

To be pointed at by a thousand people is like dying without illness! Kanon felt that she would never choose to attend Samejima High School in her life, and she wouldn't even consider the area around it. The shy Kanon couldn't bear the humiliation of being pointed at and gossiped about...

"Sir, I don't know what happened to you, but please accept my condolences." The driver was quite polite: "You have to give me a destination so I can continue driving."

"Well... then let's go to Shohoku High School in Kanagawa Prefecture." Hanon was in a state of confusion. It wasn't a good time to go home, otherwise she wouldn't be able to explain to her uncle and the old butler. Since she was here to visit schools, she might as well go to her original destination, Shohoku.

Although Kanagawa Prefecture is not in Tokyo, it is actually a satellite town of Tokyo and part of the Tokyo metropolitan area. It is only 60 or 70 kilometers away by car, a journey of one or two hours. Before noon, Kanon stood in front of Shohoku High School.

"Ah, so that's how it is..." Hanon was very emotional. As one of the very few anime stories she was familiar with in her previous life, the world of "Slam Dunk" had many familiar scenes. Even the Shohoku campus seemed familiar, as if she had visited a famous historical site.

However, Kanon noticed a problem. Perhaps the timeline of the new world had shifted, and many "settings" had changed subtly. For example, high schools in Tokyo had already started their new semester, while Shohoku was still enjoying the tail end of summer vacation...

Of course, there were still people on campus, and they were acquaintances.

Although it was a holiday, the competition system in Japanese middle schools meant that various sports clubs were still practicing and preparing for matches during the break, and Shohoku High School was no exception. There were many athletes on the school's stadium. Among them, the baseball team players were practicing when they were interrupted by a red-haired guy.

"Ah, it's Sakuragi Hanamichi!" Hanon was overjoyed. He was a celebrity, and to Hanon, Sakuragi Hanamichi was the number one famous figure in the new world, someone she knew very well.

At that moment, Sakuragi Hanamichi was doing physical training with two tires on his back when he recklessly barged into the baseball field. The baseball team members were arguing with him when the soccer club kicked the ball out, and by sheer coincidence, the soccer ball hit Sakuragi on the back of the head.

"Damn it, I'll teach you a lesson!" Sakuragi roared, threw down the tire, and started chasing the soccer player around the field again.

Kanon chuckled to herself. This Sakuragi, whether in the two-dimensional world of her past life or the three-dimensional world of her new life, is a lawless character...

"Judging from this guy's hairstyle, he's shaved his head, which means he's at least lost to Hainan." Hanon began to observe the surroundings: "The Shohoku basketball players aren't around, and the few people standing in the distance look like Mito Yohei and the other members of the 'Sakuragi Army,' and it's summer now..."

"I get it." Hanon suddenly realized, "This is the period before the national tournament when I took 20,000 shots!"

Author's Note: Although Kanon and Mihono's relationship has progressed, it's real. This time, being misunderstood is completely fake, so she can't stand it~ As for the time setting, since it's a world where many comics are combined, some adjustments are indeed needed. Please don't worry about these details~ I will try my best to arrange it, and please don't blame me if I don't arrange it well.

The Slam Dunk storyline jumps right to the National Tournament, so Kanon can't really get much involved, and the story doesn't take long there. For younger fans, Kuroko's Basketball is probably the go-to basketball manga, right? I'm a bit older, so Slam Dunk was my introduction to sports manga.

Section 267, Chapter 265: The Flying Girl

Sakuragi Hanamichi started playing basketball in April when he enrolled in school. He experienced both competition and cooperation with Rukawa Kaede and Akagi Takenori, and later met Miyagi Ryota and Mitsui Hisashi, forming a very strong team and beginning his journey to pursue his dream on the court. Of course, like all inspirational stories, the Shohoku basketball team's journey was not smooth. They narrowly defeated Shohoku, suffered a close loss to Kainan, and finally engaged in a desperate battle with their arch-rivals Ryonan, achieving a historic breakthrough by advancing from the prefectural tournament to the national championships.

Unfortunately, Shohoku's journey to their dream ended after only three games in the national tournament, failing to win the national championship. Their fierce battle against Sannoh High School was an unforgettable masterpiece in Kanon's past life's anime sports history—a thrilling and breathtaking spectacle. Now, Sakuragi Hanamichi's diligently practiced mid-range shot will ultimately be the key to deciding the outcome.

"This red-haired kid is indeed full of energy and vigor!" Hana's heart was filled with mixed emotions. Having lived two lives, suddenly seeing a former two-dimensional idol in the three-dimensional world was quite a complex feeling. She wondered if other transmigrators were as sentimental as this...

After watching quietly from the sidelines for a while, seeing that Sakuragi had had enough and was being called away to lunch by his friends, including Mito Yohei, Kanon stopped following and instead wandered around the basketball court alone.

Shohoku's basketball gym is also a well-known "tourist attraction." Aside from the main team's daily training, Mitsui Hisashi once led a group of delinquents to invade the gym, locked the doors, and had a huge fight, almost resulting in his expulsion from school. On that day, another iconic scene in the history of anime sports was born...

"Coach, I want to play basketball~" Standing in the center of the gym, Kanon picked up a basketball and casually uttered that classic line.

However, though the speaker meant no harm, the listener took it to heart. A gentle voice sounded behind Huayin: "Hehehe, okay, classmate, you can play for a while if you want."

"Ah! It's Dad!" The voice that stopped belonged to an old man, and Hana immediately recognized him—Coach Anzai, a former Japanese national player, who was now the advisor coach of the Shohoku basketball team.

As a celebrity in high school basketball, Coach Anzai wasn't surprised that Kanon knew him. In his opinion, Kanon was probably a student from Shohoku who was just hanging around the school during the holidays. Since Sakuragi and the others were resting, it would be a good opportunity for the little girl who liked basketball to have some fun.

Hanon dribbled the ball twice, and Coach Anzai was slightly surprised: "Judging from the sound of the basketball bouncing... this kid is quite strong!"

Then Coach Anzai saw a scene he had never seen before in his life: Kanon dribbled forward, grabbed the ball with one hand and jumped just one step into the three-point line, gliding through the air with an extremely high and graceful posture, rushing towards the basket—it looked like a super dunk!

However, Hanon held back at the last moment, instead of violently slamming the ball into the basket, she made a quick layup and gently put the ball into the basket.

After landing, Hanon was somewhat... uh, disappointed? With the continuous development of her "talent cheat" and the continuous improvement of her martial arts skills, Hanon now, although she does not have superpowers, has already distanced herself from ordinary people. In her previous life, she was just an ordinary person and had no chance to dunk or show off, but after being reborn, she can do it easily, even if it is a bit boring.

Of course, while Hanon thought this way, onlookers would not see it that way. Coach Anzai, who was known for his composure and Zen-like attitude, was now somewhat unable to control himself: "Who am I? Where am I? What did I just see?"

A girl dunking? This girl is only a little over 1.7 meters tall, which means her vertical jump exceeds one meter, no, 1.2 meters! Even the highest jumper in NBA history wouldn't be this high! Not only that, she also performed a very difficult reverse layup; her control over her core muscles is simply divine…

In a mere second, with just one movement, Hanon fully demonstrated her physical prowess, leaving a highly respected veteran basketball coach utterly astonished. Just as Coach Anzai was about to say something, Sakuragi Hanamichi and his group returned after finishing their meal.

"Hey, we're all full, let's continue!" Sakuragi took the lead, pushing open the door and stepping onto the court: "Dad, let's start again!"

Then Sakuragi met Kanon: "Huh, who are you?"

Before Hanon could answer, a few members of the "Sakuragi Army" had already gathered around: "Hey, Sakuragi, really, even with Haruko, you can't be this rude. Hey, classmate, what year and class are you in?" Well, these guys are all decent people, but they are delinquents after all, and they still like to flirt and try to get the upper hand verbally.

Hanon didn't seem to care, and just shrugged: "I'm here to see Rukawa Kaede."

"Oh..." The members of Sakuragi's group immediately deflated: "Another Rukawa fangirl."

Rukawa Kaede is handsome, plays basketball well, and has a cool demeanor. He is a well-known and popular young player, and the Shohoku stands have never lacked female fans who have even formed a dedicated volunteer cheering squad. It is true that the saying goes that the best basketball player in school is the one who can easily pick up girls.

Sakuragi Hanamichi, although he's a very cheerful person, is actually quite devoted to girls. Right now, he only has Akagi Haruko in his heart. This young lady also came back from her lunch break. When she heard that Kanon came to see Rukawa, her eyes revealed a complex mix of emotions: doubt, surprise, envy, and hostility.

Sakuragi waved to Kanon: "Go away, go away. Rukawa Kaede, that stinky fox, isn't here. If you want to see him, go to Josei High School in Shizuoka. Don't disturb my practice."

Yes, Kanon knows that according to the plot, the Shohoku team is currently in Shizuoka for training and playing a practice match against Josei High School. However, Kanon doesn't know if she came here just for Rukawa Kaede. Although she has met all the "idols" she wanted to see, it would be too boring to leave like this.

Hanon slapped the basketball on the ground, bounced it up, and caught it with one hand: "You think I'd just leave because you tell me to? Wouldn't that be embarrassing? How about we have a contest? You win and then I'll talk."

Sakuragi was taken aback, then threw his head back and burst into laughter: "Hahaha, what are you talking about? I, Sakuragi Hanamichi, am not the kind of person who bullies girls. Go, go, go, get out of here."

The members of Sakuragi's team also laughed, but Akagi Haruko, who was more familiar with basketball, immediately noticed something was wrong: "This girl can actually catch the ball with one hand! Most men can't do that!" Holding a ball with one hand requires long fingers or extremely strong grip, which is not something that ordinary people can do. Judging from this, the girl in front of them is definitely not ordinary.

Kanon revealed a sly grin: "Are you chickening out? I've heard of you, 'Genius Sakuragi,' is that all you've got?"

"You actually know about this genius?" The carefree Sakuragi was quite pleased to hear this, but still didn't take Kanon seriously: "Okay, okay, what do you want to compete in?"

"Emmm... let's have a shooting contest."
