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

"What? You got on the wrong train and ended up in Nagano?" After Sena and the others realized the problem and contacted Hiruma, the Deimon team was instantly thrown into panic.

Kurita was the first to panic: "The match is about to start... Will Sena and the others not be able to make it back? Waaah, this is such a bad omen. If we lose this match, our high school days, our dreams..."

"Don't think nonsense, you fat pig!" Hiruma kicked Kurita in the butt. "I've already notified someone to pick them up, but they definitely won't be able to attend the start of the match. We also have a lineup when our ace isn't there! If we can't play a match without someone, then we might as well just concede! Anyway... let's make a dummy for now."

Mannequin version of Lightspeed Mask 21, got it...

"What? The ace isn't playing? Are you underestimating us like that?" Across from Deimon, their first opponent was the American football team from Amino Academy. The team, Amino Robots, is known for its scientific training and massive muscles. They win by relying on overwhelming physical strength and have achieved good results in many sports. Now, this team has its sights set on American football.

"Let them see the power of muscles!"

Emmm, not to mention that Deimon and Amino were preparing to start, Kobayakawa Sena and Taki Natsuhiko finally got off the train halfway. The network in this new world was not very good, and the mobile phone positioning was not very accurate. They could only wait patiently at the station for Hiruma to send people to rescue them.

"Ah, someone's coming." After waiting for a while, Sena finally saw a figure. A group of people came roaring over on motorcycles, led by a delinquent who looked like a chameleon.

"Ah, it's Hajime Hashirai from Thief Academy!" Sena was overjoyed. Hajime Hashirai and his group were members of the American football club at Thief Academy High School. They had played a friendly match against Deimon and were threatened by Hiruma after losing, becoming "slaves." Their rescue was truly a lifesaver.

Since they were acquaintances, there was no need for much communication. Sena was about to hop on Ye Zhuan's motorcycle and head to the racetrack when, just then, the engine roared and another sports car sped over and stopped in front of them.

As soon as the sports car door opened, a rather pretty face was revealed—it was Hana: "No time to explain, get in the car."

"Who are you?" ×N, no one here recognizes Hanon.

"Uh, I was also asked by Hiruma to come and pick you up for the competition," Kanon explained. "It just so happens that my home is in the suburbs, which is closer to here."

Sena and Natsuhiko had no suspicions, but Ye Zhulei rolled his eyes and said, "Tch, we've already made contact with them. You're of dubious origin, so why should we trust you? Besides, with us here, we can naturally get them to the competition venue."

When questioned by Ye Zhu, Hana shrugged: "First, it's just an American football game. I wouldn't kidnap anyone halfway through, would I? Second, aren't you all wearing helmets? You'll get stopped by the traffic police! Third, the motorcycles you're riding are the lower-end models in the Motorhomes product line. Their top speed is only around 100 kilometers per hour, and they're unstable when carrying passengers. It's really too unsafe. If you need to take someone to the game, wouldn't my sports car be better? It even has a professional driver!"

Well, that's true. Hanon is underage and doesn't have a driver's license yet. The sports car is being driven by the Eagle Wind family's driver.

These words were indeed reasonable and well-founded, and Ye Zhu and the others had no further reason to stop them, so they let Sena and Xia Yan get on the car. Before parting, Ye Zhu asked one more question: "Hey little girl, you know a lot about motorcycles, huh?"

Hua Yin smiled slightly: "Not really. I've read the instructions for my own products."

"Ah? Your house—" Before Ye Zhu could finish his surprised words, the sports car had already sped away, kicking up a cloud of dust on the country road, causing the thieves to cough incessantly.

"Cough, cough, cough, who exactly is that girl?"

"Who is she?" In the sports car, Sena and Natsuhiko had the same question, but one was reserved and the other was carefree, so they couldn't bring themselves to ask Kanon. Kanon wasn't in the mood to say anything either, and the sports car headed straight for the stadium in an awkward silence.

The sports car was indeed fast enough, and with the professional driver, it arrived at the correct racetrack in just over ten minutes. As soon as they got out of the car, Hanon, Sena, and Natsuhiko heard deafening cheers. The shouts of "Demon" and "Akino" were evenly matched, and it was easy to guess that the two sides were evenly matched.

The three of them jogged to the edge of the field. Sena, dressed as "Lightspeed Masked Man 21," was very eye-catching with his green, opaque goggles. His appearance immediately raised the atmosphere in the arena.

"Hmm, has Deimon's ace finally arrived?" The commentators, the audience, the opponents, and even their own teammates were all very interested in Sena's arrival. Even Kanon was somewhat infected by this atmosphere. She patted Sena on the shoulder and said, "Go on, it's time for the star to take the stage."

At this moment, the only one in the arena with attention on Kanon was Hiruma, the devilish strategist who was recalling what he had discovered when he looked through the data before the match...

"The video footage of Hanane's participation in the Kengan tournament on my server... is gone."

Author's Note: Let's unfold this slowly. In lower-ranked matches, Kanon would easily dominate, so she won't be used. As for the Hiruzen threat plot, there's actually a small twist. I saw many people were dissatisfied with this yesterday, so I'll reveal it sooner rather than later. Originally, I planned to save it for around the time of the Christmas bowl.

Section 274, Chapter 271: Future Teammates

Hiruzen did indeed discover that the thing he had used to threaten Kanon had disappeared.

"Did the young lady use her connections to hack into my server?" Hirumon wasn't sure, but his guesses were usually pretty close: "Tch, could it be that I've been tricked?"

But no matter what Hiruma thinks, he has to face the match in front of him first.

Sena, no, it was Lightspeed Masked Man 21 who made a grand entrance, causing a sensation throughout the arena. Deimon's tactics suddenly became more diverse, and their morale soared. Meanwhile, Ono got the chance to prove her strength, and her morale also soared. The match entered a heated phase... one round.

Yes, Akino's morale only lasted for one round. After Lightspeed Mask 21 demonstrated his strength, Deimon completely suppressed Akino.

"This Kobayakawa Sena's running... it's in line with the principles of martial arts, amazing." After seeing the person off, Kanon also watched the game from the sidelines. Since she had decided to join Deimon, she should get to know her new teammates. Then she witnessed Sena use a very exquisite and fast swaying running style to pass through the captain of the Akino team and score a touchdown.

Sena Kobayakawa is an exceptionally fast runner, with a 40-yard time of 4.2 seconds, which is the fastest human time. Of course, this is just the data from the surface world. With the enhancement of the Cosmic Illusion, Kanon's instantaneous speed is even higher than that. Not to mention Zero Mikazuki, whom she fought in the Deadly Race. That guy's speed is already beyond the reach of the human eye. Although Kanon can defeat him in combat, she has to admit that he is superior in terms of speed.

Kurita Yoshihiro, this burly boy, is 195 cm tall and weighs 145 kg. In the Kengan Association, he's roughly the same size as Sekibayashi Jun. Although his muscle mass is far inferior to Sekibayashi's, he's still an outstanding figure among his peers as a high school student. Unfortunately, his speed is too slow, which is his biggest weakness, and he still needs tactical planning.

When it comes to tactical arrangements, the mastermind of the Deimon is that annoying Hiruma Yoichi. This guy has a terrible personality and acts eccentrically, but he is indeed very capable. He can make correct judgments and commands in all kinds of situations and can be called a great general.

"Hiruma's downfall is his poor physical condition. His strength and speed are only average. If he's only good at strategy, there will always be times when he can't cook without ingredients. In the past, when the Deimon team didn't perform well, he must have had a hard time keeping up..."

Next, Kanon continued to observe the Deimon team members. The "Haha Brothers" on the front line were three delinquent teenagers who liked to start their sentences with "hahaha". They had brute force when fighting, and with their American death march training, they had a great advantage in amateur-level physical confrontations. The group of muscular men from the Neto robot were no match for them.

"Speaking of which, I should probably make time to visit Mr. Shirogane's gym soon." Looking at the students being mercilessly crushed, Kanon suddenly missed real muscle giants.

The Deimon team also includes Raimon Taro, nicknamed "Monta," who has an exceptional catching ability and looks like a monkey; Yukimitsu, who is bald, incredibly intelligent, but spends most of his time on the bench due to poor physical condition; Koyuki Daikichi, who is short in stature, has a distinctive red nose, and idolizes Kurita; and... cough cough, Taki Natsuhiko, who also arrived in Kanon's sports car. This guy doesn't have Sena's ability to change the course of the game; he just laughs stupidly while aimlessly spinning on one leg, making Kanon facepalm: "Am I going to be working with guys like this from now on?"

After calming down, Kanon turned her attention to the others, including the drunken and gambling coach Goroku in the rest area, the gentle and beautiful older sister Mamoru Agasaki, the youthful and pretty Taki Rinne, and the cheerleading squad she had assembled.

Kanon's gaze lingered on the cheerleaders for a moment, then shifted to Amino's cheerleaders, all dressed in nurse uniforms—how awesome...

It wasn't that Kanon wasn't taking it seriously, or that the girls were too pretty, but rather that the match was really not very interesting. Demon's strength had greatly improved after training in the United States, and he was no longer someone that Umino could handle. After Sena returned to her position, they easily and happily won the victory.

"Oh my god, American football is so much fun!" the Mudgate players shouted.

"Heh, you're only just realizing this?" Kanon chuckled. Not long ago, she had witnessed a similar situation in the elimination tournament. It was under Kanon's pressure that Imai Kosou discovered that what he liked was victory, not the battle itself.

The beauty of competition lies in victory. Defeat is acceptable, but it should not be enjoyed. If someone is always overjoyed by defeat... are you sure this isn't a masochistic hentai?

Four matches concluded that day, resulting in four teams advancing to the next round, while the dreams of 117 high school students from four different teams were shattered—most of whom had strived for their dreams. Therefore, the Deimon Bats team had every reason to celebrate; at least they had made it past the first round.

Amidst the jubilant crowd, only Hiruma turned to look for Kanon, only to find that Kanon had already quietly left. This made Hiruma even more panicked: "What exactly does that brat mean? Did she delete the data? Will she retaliate against me?"

Honestly, facing a young lady from a world-class wealthy family, whose martial arts skills are among the best in the world, offending her without any leverage is practically dancing with death...

Tormented by this anxiety, Hiruma not only failed to enjoy the joy of victory, but was also in a daze all day, unable to eat. When everyone sat down to discuss the strategy for the second battle a few days later, Kanon was not present, and Hiruma was equally restless.

"That brat hasn't come to class all week... Is she deliberately putting pressure on me?" Hiruma couldn't even find out the truth from Hanon. After several days of torment, he looked very haggard, which shocked the Deimon team members.

"Hey, what on earth happened to Hiruzen?"

"I don't know, but he looks so haggard... Could it be because of his next opponent? Sunset Warrior, is he very strong?"

"What are you talking about? Be serious, we're in a meeting." Hiruma finally managed to perk up: "The Sunset High School team is ranked even lower than our original C-level, only D, and there haven't been many changes, so our chances of winning this battle are 99%."

"Ah, now we're guaranteed to win!" Everyone was overjoyed.

“Yes.” Hiruma’s expression was serious: “But there’s still a one percent chance of losing…”

……

"Hehehe, they don't even have a one percent chance."

When the day of the match against the Sunset Warriors arrived, Hiruma Yoichi suddenly became cheerful because he saw a figure he had been looking forward to for a week: Kanon had arrived.

Author's Note: This section introduces most of the future teammates, giving everyone a general idea. I hope I haven't made things too confusing, as there are just too many characters in this anime.

Section 275, Chapter 272: There are many idle people in the world

"You brat, you've finally deigned to show your face?" Hiruma approached Hanon and greeted her in a voice only the two of them could hear. Of course, his tone wasn't very polite. Normally, given Hiruma's temper, he would have kicked her right away. But who could blame him when the person in front of him was the world's top-tier fighter...

"Hmm, you've had a tough time these past few days, haven't you?" Hana shrugged with a grin. She had calmed down after being forced to join the team this week and was in a good mood.

"It really was you." At this moment, Hiruma calmed down. After all, he was a strategist with a high level of intelligence. Although he had experienced a few days of anxiety and shortness of breath, once everything was confirmed, Hiruma had nothing to worry about.

Knowing who your opponent is means that even the biggest disadvantage can be reversed. Just like Batman, who can always fight against and even defeat Superman with his mortal body.

"So what are you doing here?" Hiruzen asked. "Could it be that you've come to get revenge on me?"

Hana shook her head: "As for the situation, I punched you that day and know you haven't had a good time these past few days, that's enough. After all, I'm not a demon like you."

"Not happy?" Hiruzen began to bluff: "Who said I'm not happy? I..." His words were interrupted by Kanon: "Don't lie to me! I have reports of your uneasy appearance!"

Hirudo frowned: "You have a report? Did you send someone to follow me? But I didn't find anything... Ha, that's a stupid question. With your connections, the people you can send must be top-tier in the underworld. Who could it be?"

Hiruzen started racking his brains, quickly calculating the information he had gathered: "I've heard rumors that Miss Kanon of the Takakaze family is a pampered princess, doted on by her uncle. If President Takakaze knew I was threatening his niece, he certainly wouldn't have acted so calmly and patiently. Besides, while Motorbike Head Motorbike is powerful, their expertise is in mechanics, not electronics. Someone who could breach my cloud server overnight must be a world-class technician. The Kengan Association has a new president and can't concentrate its efforts yet. The only way she could have mobilized resources in such a short time is to seek help from one of the companies within the Kengan Association..."

"It's Penasonic, right?"

"Bingo, you got it right." Hanon was surprised. This Hiruzen was really amazing. He actually guessed her method in a short time with just a little information. "With such a brain, plus this group of quite unique teammates, you will definitely achieve good results if you play well. Why did you have to drag me into this?"

"Heh, you're still far from it." Hiruzen sneered, but there was a hint of melancholy in his smile: "The world of high school American football is full of monsters, and it's a team sport, not something you can win by relying solely on individual strength. Even you can't do it!"

"...You, even in this situation, you still can't resist trying to provoke me." Hanon saw through the provocation in Hiruma's words and felt helpless: "I'm a person of my word. If I promise to represent Mud Gate in the competition, I will definitely represent Mud Gate. As for something like conquering the world, I have no interest in doing that."

However, Kanon added at the end, "If you really anger me, I'll just crush you one by one. Maybe before the half-game is over, the other side won't even have enough players on the field."

"Hehehe, as expected of the Queen of Fighting in the Underworld, you truly possess strength that surpasses all others!" Having confirmed that Hanon would be making an appearance and that she didn't seem to intend to cause him any trouble, Hiruma secretly breathed a sigh of relief and felt extremely confident about the future of this tournament.

“I have one last question.” Hiruma glanced at Hanon: “While you’re not a brutal sadist, from what I know, you’re not exactly a soft-hearted person either. Now that Penasonic has removed my threats, your so-called reason for participating to keep your promise seems insufficient…”

"Wow, you have a good eye!" Kanon readily admitted that there were indeed other factors driving her to participate in the competition, nothing too profound: "Besides the promise, I also participated because..."

"Kanon, good luck!" A voice from the stands interrupted Kanon. Hiruma and Kanon both turned to look. Hiruma was startled at first, but then understood: "Yes, since Kanon is going to participate in the sports meet, how could her good friend Mieko Suoh be absent?"

Kanon and Mieko's relationship goes beyond friendship. Although Mieko is still conflicted about her own sexual orientation and Kanon's underage status, and hasn't formally proposed dating Kanon, the strong lesbian feelings between them are undeniable. How could Mieko possibly miss out on Kanon enrolling in school and participating in sports competitions?

Besides... cough cough, this girl is actually super free right now.

Although Mihono triumphed in the Final Elimination Tournament, becoming the newest and most legendary figure in the Kengan Association, she essentially relied on Kanon's coattails to achieve her victory. She lacks the necessary skills in business management and Kengan Association affairs, which manifests in her carefree and idle behavior. Originally, there was Adam as a potential fighter, but with the Final Elimination Tournament just ended and President Nogi enacting new policies, there are currently no matches available. Even if there were, it's unlikely any reckless individual would dare challenge Suoh Seitetsu, who commands two Final Elimination Tournament main draw fighters…

"Go, Hanon-san!" Another voice came from the stands, and two more people had come to watch the game.

"Ah, okay~" Kanon waved to the two people over there, and at the same time told Hiruma, "Weren't you curious about who I asked to spy on you?"

“That’s President Urada of Penasonic.” Hiruma was very familiar with the underworld, and besides, Urada Kazukizo was a big businessman in the surface world, so he recognized him at a glance. As for the other person, “The long-haired person next to Urada must be the legendary Inaba clan!”

While Inaba Ryo isn't considered strong in direct combat—at least among the bottom 32 in the main tournament of the Deadly Match—as the heir to an ancient assassin family, he is an undisputed expert in tracking, infiltration, and assassination, easily ranking among the top.
