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

Section 268 will be updated later due to unforeseen circumstances.

Sorry, something came up today, so the update will be a little late. I've been really stressed and exhausted lately. I'll release all the updates at once tonight. Please forgive me.

Also, the Slam Dunk content ends in the next chapter, and this part was indeed a bit boring. It then shifts to the "Eyeshield" arc, and then to Baki. I've been reading the reviews, and many readers pointed out that the Kengan section was too much of a direct adaptation of the manga, which is indeed my mistake. I'll try to write original content in my next book. (￣▽￣)"

Section 269, Chapter 266: Your Shoes Are Broken

"Shooting...okay, we'll treat it as regular practice." In the end, Sakuragi agreed to the shooting competition: "But after you're done, hurry up and leave, shh, shh."

Tsk tsk, this "idol" is quite impatient, but Kanon, who understands the cause and effect, has nothing to complain about. She suggested that the shooting contest was intended to avoid affecting Sakuragi's practice: "Then, I'll go first."

She then threw her first ball with a very unorthodox form—it missed the target entirely.

"Pfft—" Everyone laughed.

Sakuragi didn't even bother to say anything, only saying, "My turn." He then shot a ball.

Through this period of practice, Sakuragi's mid-range shooting has improved significantly, and this shot went in well.

"Sakuragi, you've made great progress!" Haruko and Sakuragi's friends were very encouraged, feeling like a mother hen hatching chicks.

Kanon then threw a few more balls, each with a different posture and varying force, but without exception, they all went astray... Now, not only Sakuragi, but everyone else felt that this was a waste of time.

On the tenth shot, Kanon finally made it, but by then Sakuragi had already made seven.

"Hahaha, you've improved a lot!" Sakuragi had no time to care about Kanon anymore; he was truly experiencing his own progress: "I really am a genius~"

As for Kanon, Sakuragi casually waved his hand, trying to dismiss her: "Alright, alright, that's enough for now."

"Ahem, that won't do." Hanon took the ball and blinked, "Who said it's a 10-ball match? It has to be at least 100 balls!"

“…Whatever.” Sakuragi was in a good mood, so he agreed, but in his mind he had already labeled Kanon as “women are such a hassle.”

"No matter how much you pester that stinky fox Rukawa, he won't come back."

"I know." Hanon gripped the basketball tighter. "It's nice to play with you."

The shooting contest continued, and this time it was Sakuragi's turn to suffer a setback.

The score was 1-7 after the first ten goals.

The score was 11-15 after the first 20 goals.

Thirty goals, 21 to 21.

Forty goals, 31 to 26.

……

"Want to play again?" Hana smiled sweetly, looking very gentle and charming, but her words were incredibly sharp: "One hundred balls, 95 to 59, I won~ But the score is quite close, how about another one hundred balls?"

"Aaaaaah, how could this happen?!" Sakuragi was in a panic: "This guy kept missing shots at first, how did he make 95 shots in a row?"

"...I was letting you win." Even though she was trying to find the right muscle activation pattern, Kanon always wanted to tease Sakuragi a little more whenever she saw him getting frustrated: "Thank you so much, playing basketball seems like a lot of fun."

When Shohoku arrived, the "idol" was seen, and they even played a game together. It seemed there was really nothing to say in Shohoku. After waving to a few people, Kanon was about to leave, but this time it was Sakuragi's turn to object.

"Don't go! Keep competing! I don't believe you've always been this accurate!"

Emmm, sorry, but my shooting accuracy is just that good. Continuing the competition will only make things worse. Besides, it's already past 2 PM, and Kanagawa is quite far away; Kanon is planning to go home for dinner.

Seeing that Kanon didn't stop and clearly had no intention of continuing, Sakuragi got a little anxious and subconsciously reached out to stop Kanon: "Damn it, you—ah!"

A tremendous force knocked Sakuragi to the ground, leaving him stunned. He was quite familiar with this kind of force. Not long ago, he had gone to watch a game of a team from another region and encountered someone who was stronger than him, named Morishige Hiroshi. He had also accidentally knocked him down. Could it be that the little girl in front of him also had that kind of strength?

"Who exactly are you?" Even if Sakuragi was stunned, he knew that the girl in front of him was no ordinary person. Kanon stretched out her hand and gently pointed at Sakuragi...

"Ahem, your shoes are broken."

Actually, when Sakuragi pushed Kanon, Kanon wasn't paying much attention. She's relatively light and didn't deliberately use any techniques to transfer power. She should have taken a few steps back after being pushed. Sakuragi's fall was more likely due to him tripping. Over the past few months, the Shohoku basketball team had faced strong opponents one after another, and Sakuragi's training volume was particularly high. Finally, he couldn't take it anymore.

"My shoes!" The broken shoes made sense of Sakuragi's fall and also shifted his attention to this side, no longer focusing on Kanon. Well, this way, even if he wanted to compete with Kanon, he couldn't.

Having managed to escape, Kanon said goodbye to Sakuragi before leaving: "Um, I'm sorry your shoes are torn. Genius Sakuragi didn't get to show off his skills."

"Damn it, are you mocking me?"

"No," Hana said. "On the contrary, I'm really sorry. Maybe if you hadn't pushed me, these shoes could have lasted a couple more days. How about this, tell me your shoe size, and I'll give you a new pair tomorrow."

"Huh?" Sakuragi was stunned. Was Kanon really this generous? He instinctively said politely, "I can't possibly accept that. Those shoes must be quite expensive..."

When money is mentioned, Hua Yin smiles without saying a word. In this low-level martial arts world, she may not have superpowers, but with the wealth of the Yingfeng family, she is probably among the top people in the world when it comes to money.

After confirming that Kanon genuinely wanted to give him a pair of shoes, Sakuragi Hanamichi was a little touched: "It's such a pity that such a good girl like you is paired with that stinky fox Rukawa..." Apparently, this guy still thought that Kanon, who came to see Rukawa, was his fangirl.

Hanon didn't explain, and Sakuragi said, "Haha, I'm so sorry to have made you spend so much. How about this, I'll at least contribute some money to make up for it."

"No need." Hanon waved her hand. "I never do good deeds anonymously. I will definitely go to cheer for Shohoku during the National Tournament—but don't get injured." Hanon had already secretly decided that in the final moments of Shohoku's match against Sannoh, she would protect Sakuragi and prevent him from suffering the same injury as in the original story.

Sakuragi was naturally unaware of this little scheme. He rummaged in his pocket for a while before finally taking out his "gift money": "This is a small token of my appreciation, please accept it~ I'm really sorry to have asked you to make a trip to buy me shoes, hahaha."

Looking at the 100 yen coin in her hand, Hanon was speechless for a moment: "...I should have thought of that."

In short, the trip to Shohoku ended rather uneventfully. Kanon didn't waste any time after leaving, taking a taxi straight to Tokyo.

To be honest, this trip to Shohoku really cooled her down. Firstly, Shohoku had already made it to the national championships, so she missed a lot of the storylines, and Kanon didn't have much room to "observe up close." Secondly, she realized that basketball was already a relatively easy sport for her, and there seemed to be no need to delve deeper into it.

In short, the school she initially envisioned was rejected, and now Hanon herself doesn't know where to study.

Author's Note: Sorry for the lateness of this chapter, and it was a bit rushed. As compensation, I will definitely find a chance to add an extra chapter at the end of this month (and I'll try my best to use free chapters). Also, I'll tell you a few lame jokes in the author's notes in a few days as an apology. There will be a second chapter around 7 PM.

Actually, I'm experiencing some writer's block while writing. I've been so busy lately that I haven't even had time to properly watch Masked Man and Baki. I need to immerse myself in this.

Section 270, Chapter 267: An Unexpected Old Friend, An Unexpected Enrollment

The car sped along the highway, heading straight for Tokyo. The destination was downtown Tokyo, not the old house of the Takakaze family in the suburbs.

As the saying goes, "What needs to be done today should be done today," so Kanon planned to buy basketball shoes for Sakuragi today and send them to Shohoku tomorrow—otherwise, Sakuragi would have to drag his worn-out shoes to practice shooting tomorrow, and Kanon couldn't bear to hold him back.

The shopping districts in the city are quite fixed. Before leaving, Kanon asked Haruko Akagi about the store where Sakuragi bought his last pair of shoes. The mustachioed shopkeeper was quite easy to talk to. When Kanon mentioned buying shoes for Sakuragi from Shohoku, she even got a discount of several hundred yen... cough cough, the 100 yen that Kanon was given in the original story was originally meant for this shopkeeper. He didn't know that fate had taken a turn and helped him avoid a loss of tens of thousands of yen.

Before leaving, the mustachioed shopkeeper said with some surprise, "I remember that Sakuragi came with another girl last time. Could it be that they broke up?"

"Uh, they were never together in the first place, and besides, I'm not his girlfriend..."

Just as they were explaining, new customers entered the shop, one of whom was shocked as soon as he entered: "Y-you're not Ms. Kanon!"

As fate would have it, this is indeed an acquaintance. "Imai Kosuke? What are you doing here?"

Unexpectedly, just a few days after the final match ended, Kanon encountered the Kengan Association again, this time with Imai, whom she had fought before.

At this point, Xiaoyuzhou no longer needed a wheelchair, but he still had injuries on his body. The sharp-eyed Hanon easily noticed the scabs and bruises on his body—Hanon had really hit him hard back then, with razor-sharp fingers, heavy punches and kicks. Even the top fighters wouldn't be able to recover in less than ten days to half a month. Now that he could move freely without bandages, Xiaoyuzhou had shown a remarkably strong recovery ability.

Xiao Yuzhou patted the boy next to him: "He's my younger brother. His team is going to participate in the national basketball tournament, so as his older brother, of course I have to support him by providing a pair of sports shoes."

Imai Kosou's younger brother is named Imai Ryusei. Their parents were probably astronomy enthusiasts... Imai Shūryū's appearance is quite similar to Kosou's, but he is much taller, a head shorter than the brothers.

"Oh, this is your younger brother? He looks more like the older brother."

"Miss Kanon, please don't make fun of me... By the way, are you here to buy shoes too?" Koyuu noticed that the shoes Kanon was carrying were very big: "Wow, these are huge shoes! These aren't for you, are they?"

"Hehehe, this young lady is buying shoes for her lover." The mustachioed shopkeeper suddenly came over, trying to make his presence known.

"I already said no!"

While Imai Ryusei was picking out shoes, Kanon and Kosou started catching up.

"Miss Hanon, are you still in contact with everyone?" The two of them huddled together, naturally discussing matters related to the Kengan Association: "I heard that President Yamashita's company is officially opening in a few days, while Mr. Ohma has found a quiet place to recuperate."

Speaking of this, Hanon became surprisingly melancholy: "I was practically grounded as soon as I got home. My uncle didn't want to talk to me about the Kengan Association, and I've been looking for a school lately, so I haven't been paying much attention to it. Uncle Kuroki is training with Rito, Adam is still working as a wrestler for Miho, and Kiohyama is practicing traditional sumo with his brothers. These are the only people I'm in contact with."

"Heh, as the new king, you don't care at all about the Kengan Association. Is this the pride of the strong?" Koyuu smiled. "I'm quite familiar with Mr. Wakatsuki. He's already immersed in rigorous training, preparing for his revenge match against you!" Koyuu's tone shifted abruptly: "But Mr. Murobuchi seems to be training hard as well, also keeping an eye on Mr. Wakatsuki..."

However, Murobichi became a stepping stone.

Finally, Xiaoyu patted Hanon's shoulder hard: "Hehe, I'm watching you too, Miss Hanon! I'm practicing jujutsu with my master, and I look forward to launching a revenge attack on you in the future!"

“…Okay, I’m always welcome, but you’ll probably have to work hard for a long time.” Faced with Xiaoyu’s bold words, Kanon didn’t back down.

Meanwhile, Imai's younger brother, who was picking out shoes, nudged the mustachioed shop manager: "Hey, uncle, does that young lady really have a boyfriend? She and my brother seem to get along really well~"

Imai Ryusei quickly picked out the shoes, tried them on, and said, "The shoes are very soft, quite nice." Kouyu paid for his younger brother's shoes and then quietly told Kanon, "My brother is the ace of his school's basketball team, but unfortunately he broke his leg at the beginning of last semester. If it weren't for his miraculous comeback, their team wouldn't have made it to the national tournament." He then winked and asked, "Guess who treated my brother?"

"Could it be... Eiichi?" Kanon asked tentatively.

"Ah, yes, it's Dr. Ying!" Xiaoyuzhou exclaimed in shock, "Miss Hanon, how did you know?"

"...A woman's intuition."

Actually, it's not hard to guess. The fact that Xiaoyuzhou asked this question means that both Xiaoyuzhou and Hanon know this person, and that he is also a doctor. So who else could it be besides Yingchu?

As they were saying goodbye, Kanon suddenly asked, "Um, Imai-kun, which high schools did you two brothers go to?"

"Me? I'm from Qiluo Qiluo High School," Xiaoyuzhou answered honestly. "The school is pretty good."

Well, that school is definitely good. It can support Xiaoyuzhou to train in his spare time to become a world-class fighter, which means the coursework is quite easy and it left a good impression on Xiaoyuzhou. The cultural environment is probably also good.

Kanon's little notebook has added another new school to her list, however...

When Hanon returned to the Takakaze family home, the old butler Ito greeted her as soon as she entered: "Miss is back. You must be tired today!"

"It's okay~" Hanon casually handed over the basketball shoes: "These shoes are what I promised to give to my friends at Shohoku High School."

“Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to deliver them.” Butler Ito naturally accepted the shoes.

Hanon waved her hand: "No need, I'll go again tomorrow." Anyway, she'll continue to choose schools these next few days, so Hanon doesn't mind visiting a few other high schools in Kanagawa. It's just a leisurely stroll, why rush?

But what the old butler said next shocked Huayin: "You'll be going to your new school tomorrow to complete your enrollment procedures, so you probably won't have time. I'll have someone deliver the shoes to you. If you're not comfortable with that, I can go myself. I'll make sure they reach your friend."

"Register for school?" Hana was stunned. "I haven't even chosen a school yet!"

"But someone already delivered the admission notice today!" The old butler hurriedly went back into the room and quickly brought out a piece of paper. Huayin unfolded it and saw that it was indeed an admission notice with a red stamp on it.
