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

Zhu Mei, acting as the referee for the two, said: "Good luck to both of you! Now, let's begin!"

"..."

Silence, a long silence.

Machio's clothes burst open again the moment it started, but apart from that, his and Kanon's arms remained frozen in place.

"Amazing!" Hanon exclaimed. "It's like wrestling with a mountain."

Machio's condition was slightly worse than Kanon's. Although his arm could still stay in place, he was already giving it his all and was completely unable to speak.

With a loud "Bang!", was the outcome decided?

No, it's just that the table under Kanon and Machi's arms couldn't withstand the pressure and was overturned by their immense strength.

The two, having lost their support, immediately separated.

"Oh dear, this table is so unstable." Hanon laughed first. If possible, she wanted to maintain her normal image in front of these ordinary high school students.

In fact, the confrontation between Kanon and Machi was only momentary. Akemi and the others did not believe that Kanon could defeat Machi. In their view, the initial confrontation was just Machi deliberately giving way, and the reason for stopping now was because of the table.

Since this was just a casual game, Zhu Mei declared, "Since the table is broken, let's call it a draw."

"I escaped a disaster, I escaped a disaster, hahaha..." Hanon laughed and threw herself into her normal muscle training.

"Majiro?" Zhu Mei noticed that Majiro's condition was a bit strange.

In fact, Machio's muscles were trembling from overexertion. He clenched his fists, his heart filled with shock: "Kanon's power has actually reached such a level... If the table hadn't broken just now, the one who lost... would have been me?"

With this atmosphere reminiscent of a battle anime, the arm-wrestling competition at Mr. Shirogane's gym begins.

That's all for today's update. Hope you enjoyed it.

There's not much to say in this chapter. After much thought, I've decided to have Kanon participate in the upcoming arm-wrestling competition. And how about Kanon getting involved in the lesbian relationship with the white-haired guy?

Poor white-haired guy, he didn't encounter the destined Hibiki, but instead met an even more terrifying monster.

Section 25, Chapter 25: The Real White-Haired Girl

On the day of the arm wrestling competition, the strongest athletes gathered at Mr. Silver's Gym.

The contestants were all talented. Some could lift a car, some were burdened with national and personal grievances, some represented the honor of the overlord, some carried the wishes of their friends, and there was even a seemingly naive but actually incredibly powerful monster... But these were all male contestants. After signing in at the front desk, they gathered together to chat and joke around. They were quite pleasant to talk to.

"So, in the end, it turns out I'm the only one competing?" Hanon looked at the schedule with a black line on her forehead.

Although the men's group had a bunch of inexplicable oddballs, they still managed to make it to the top 32. As for the women's group... well, they actually went straight to the finals?

"Well..." Ayaka was also embarrassed: "When I lost to Hibiki at the beginning, I felt that there was no hope in this competition. I thought that even if I played again, I would not be able to beat Hibiki, so I did not sign up."

Ms. Rimi chimed in, "Me too! Seeing how strong Hibiki is, I was sure I'd lose too! Who knew Hibiki would catch the flu from Akemi and be bedridden at home... Looks like even a little idiot can catch a cold."

Hanon was utterly embarrassed: "Hey, as Hibiki's homeroom teacher, is it really okay to talk about your student like that?"

Hibiki didn't come, and neither did Akemi, so Ayaka was quite disappointed: "But I really didn't expect that only Kanon would participate. If I had known that, I would have signed up too. The outcome between Kanon and me is still uncertain, hahaha."

"Is it really that simple?" Coach Machigaki leaned closer again: "Leaving aside Kanon, the other female player is also very strong."

Hanon's gaze fell on the schedule: "Gina Porter, is she a Westerner?"

Mr. Silver's gym is really international; even Westerners are participating in the competition.

As time went by, the male contestants quickly finished their matches, and the final winner was... the delivery uncle who lived next door and often came to exercise. Those "strongmen" who seemed to have a story were actually a bunch of glass cannons, looking fierce as tigers but actually being fools.

The gentle receptionist temporarily stepped in as emcee: "Now, please welcome all the female contestants to the stage!"

Although they said there were all the contestants, there were actually only two: Kanon was one, and a white-haired girl walked up from the other side.

The girl had short white hair, super fair skin, delicate features, and a smiling face. From a distance, she looked like a porcelain doll; she was incredibly beautiful.

"Gina Porter, 17 years old, from Russia, attends Kremlin High School, and achieved a commendable fifth place in the Moscow Arm Wrestling Championship. She's a truly formidable competitor!" Jie Xiong responsibly provided the background information.

"Hmm, calling her the White-Haired Girl is not an exaggeration, she really is a white-haired girl!" Hana didn't think that this little girl Gina was that impressive, she just stood there enjoying herself.

Instead, it was Ayaka and Ms. Satomi in the audience who were discussing it.

"So, the other person is a veteran of arm-wrestling matches, right?"

"She exudes an aura of domineering power. Can Kanon pull it off?"

Although Hanon has grown taller and stronger recently, she still looks like an ordinary, slender girl, and doesn't really have the aura of a strong person—at least that's how ordinary people see her.

Gina, the white-haired girl, is probably just an ordinary person, or perhaps she underestimated her opponent and never imagined that she would encounter someone her age who could match her in arm wrestling in Japan.

Gina glanced at Huayin briefly, then chuckled and revealed a provocative expression.

If Hibiki had participated, she would probably have been enraged! But Kanon, having lived two lives and now embarking on the true path of the strong, was unmoved by the little girl's provocation and calmly walked over to stand opposite the white-haired girl.

Up close, the white-haired girl is indeed very fair-skinned! Her features are also truly exquisite. No wonder many people praise the "hairy girl's" high looks; this is no exaggeration.

The white-haired girl also sized up Hanon: "Hmph, looking at you up close, you seem to have quite a bit of muscle... But I won't lose, I have a reason to win no matter what!"

"Uh, what's that?" For a moment, the soft-hearted Kanon was ready to give up. This kind of competition with only two participants was really uninspiring, especially if the opponent had a very good reason...

"Well, the travel expenses from Russia to Japan were much higher than expected, so I plan to use this bonus to cover the budget shortfall."

"What an unexpected reason! You're actually a natural airhead?" This bizarre reason spurred Kanon into a tirade, but it also fueled her fighting spirit.

Coach Jie Xiong, acting as the referee, came over and announced the start of the match: "Are both sides ready? Then, get set—"

"Hehehe." Holding Huayin's small hand, Gina Porter felt confident of victory: "This Chinese girl named Ye Huayin looks about my age. You're really unlucky. I've never lost to anyone my age."

Compared to Kanon, Gina was clearly more concerned about Machio, who had already entered a "clothes-ripping" state: "Speaking of which, why did the referee have to rip his clothes? Although his muscles look good, is it really okay to exercise in just his underwear... Is it a rule unique to Japan?"

"—Begin!" Masao finally uttered that word.

Gina Porter suddenly exerted her strength, her petite body bursting forth with astonishing power, carrying an unstoppable momentum, determined to crush Hanon.

"It doesn't matter, Chinese girl, I'll accept this victory with gratitude—wait, what?"

Did a second pass? Two seconds? In any case, Gina sensed something was wrong.

I had clearly given it my all, but my opponent seemed completely unfazed, his arm motionless, as if I were facing a steel pillar welded there.

"No, this isn't an iron pillar at all..." Hana's petite figure had already disappeared from Gina's sight, replaced by a vast and boundless expanse: "This feels just like... just like the permafrost of Siberia!"

There was no loud crash, no shouts, and no bulging veins. Silently, to everyone's astonishment, Hanon easily pinned Gina's arm down.

The feeling was like casually bending your arm in the air without any resistance.

"It's decided! The champion is Hana-on!" Confetti rained down, music started, and Machio raised Hana-on's arm, announcing the end of the match.

"Thank you, thank you, hehe." Hanon scratched her head and greeted everyone, her attitude as humble as ever.

As for Gina, who was defeated, it took her a while to recover from the shock: "I was completely defeated... This is the first time I've ever lost to someone my own age."

However, Gina wasn't petty; instead, she offered her blessings to Kanon: "Ura, Ye! Harashoku, Kanon!"

"Let's fight again sometime if we have the chance!"

The white-haired girl has arrived! As for Gina's identity, the author has some guesses and will write them in soon. No joke, the author thinks this setting might actually appear in the comic in the future.

There are two more chapters today. I don't know if they'll transition into the outdoor storyline I'm planning, but it'll either be today or tomorrow. "That guy" from the Kengan tournament will make his appearance and fight Kanon!

Section 26, Chapter 26: The New Member of the Fitness Team

"Oh, is Kanon's arm strength really that strong?"

At the entrance of the girls' division of Imperial Sakura Academy, Ayaka Uehara met Hibiki Sakura and Akemi Soryuin, who had recovered from their illness, and told them about the arm-wrestling competition that had taken place a few days earlier.

"That Russian girl seems to have regarded Kanon as her nemesis ever since..." Ayaka recalled, "In the end, like in a battle manga, she left a declaration of her return."

Hibiki said with a headache, "This guy sounds like he's going to be difficult to deal with..."

Zhu Mei was very curious about Gina: "It sounds interesting, I'd like to meet her too."

Ayaka waved her hand: "That's true, but I think it's not good to meet again. After all, the cost of international airfare is not to be underestimated."

However, they soon met Gina.

In the classroom of Class A, Grade 2, Ms. Wu Yacha softly introduced, "Starting today, Gina Porter will be joining our class. Let's have her introduce herself!"

"Nice to meet you, Japanese classmates!" Gina, the white-haired girl, made a spirited entrance: "I'm Gina, a transfer student from Russia. It's quite a surprise, but I'd like to request another arm wrestling match with Hanako!"

Teacher Wu squinted and smiled, "Oh my, what an energetic child! But we don't have anyone here named Huayin~"

"What?" Gina was stunned. "That's not right. I remember she was with her classmates from Royal Sakura Academy that day."

Sitting below, Akemi explained, "Um... we're just Kanon's friends, she's not a student at Kouzakura Academy... and the Ayaka you met is from the class next door, Class B..."

"Breit!" In her haste, Gina blurted out a Russian "Damn it!": "That Ye Huayin is so cunning!"

But having no other choice, and already here, Gina Potter decided to stay at the Royal Sakura Academy.

After class, because they all had some connection with Kanon, Gina, Ayaka, Hibiki, and Akemi easily became good friends.

"I never expected you would actually follow Hanon to Japan to study..." Ayaka was sweating profusely: "There's a limit to how much trouble you can cause."

"And your Japanese is very good too," Zhu Mei exclaimed.

"But Gina's personality is different from what Ayaka described; she seems quite normal." This is what Hibiki is concerned about.

Gina, with a very good temper, explained one by one: "I came to Japan to study abroad because I really wanted to have another showdown with Kanon, and also to visit someone. I learned Japanese and Japanese culture on my own by watching movies and reading comics, and after understanding these things, I reshaped my image for this study abroad experience!"

Gina continued, "Russians in Japanese comics are always portrayed as three types: intellectual beauties, cold-blooded killers, and passionate patriots. This kind of conventional thinking is terrible. I try my best to avoid character overlap."

Hibiki and Ayaka simultaneously confirmed in their minds: "No overlap, no overlap, this guy's character is an idiot..."

"Wait a minute, it seems like you guys don't quite agree with me? No problem, I'll watch more Jackie Chan movies to catch up!" Gina gave a thumbs up, full of confidence.

"Jackie Chan is Chinese!" The original trio of fitness enthusiasts remained speechless...
