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

Although Kanon didn't have much interaction with Urida and Inaba, they had gone through the Deathmatch and the Tokyo Electric Power Company rebellion together, making them comrades-in-arms. With just one phone call from Kanon, Penasonic mobilized a group of top hackers to attack Hiruma's servers and lent Inaba to monitor him. No matter how strong Hiruma was, he was still just one person. Faced with the all-out attack from Penasonic, a top Japanese company, Kanon naturally had to expose all his trump cards.

Well, it's like how Batman always manages to get the upper hand over Superman, but that's only because Superman is still bound by his moral compass or straightforward style of doing things. Once Superman abandons his principles and learns to be ruthless or cunning, then the power of this god among men is something Batman alone cannot handle.

Encouraged by her friend, Kanon rubbed her hands together and asked Hiruma, "So, shouldn't I get ready to go on stage?"

Author's Note: Um, during the era of the masked maniac, there were bound to be other characters from other stories, like the muscular girl, and the little Garuda's storyline over there, which isn't over yet!

As for Batman and Superman, it was just a casual analogy, so comic book fans shouldn't take it too seriously!

Section 276, Chapter 273: The First Time Running the Formation

"There's definitely no problem with you playing," Hiruzen replied. "It's just that having you play in this match is a bit of a waste of your talent... and the way you changed and came out like this isn't very discreet. You don't want to reveal your identity, do you?"

Indeed, Kanon wasn't ready to become a public celebrity, even if she was just a sports star among high school students. When she went to school with Chio before, the two of them had a lot of fun chatting, partly because Kanon was still, at heart, an ordinary office worker from her previous life, practicing the doctrine of the mean just like Chio.

Moreover, even putting aside the issue of fame, given Kanon's athletic abilities, once her identity is exposed, she will definitely be scrambled for by all the girls' sports clubs at Deimon Middle School. Kanon can't be too harsh on ordinary students, and it would be troublesome to refuse them one by one.

While the Deimon team members were preparing to go on the field, Hanon quietly went inside the stadium and found a secluded room to change her clothes.

"Wow, American football jerseys are really hard to put on!" For Kanon, who was just starting out in the sport, this pile of protective gear was quite tricky. She had to figure out how to use some of the gear. By the time Kanon finished putting on the gear and fastened the opaque goggles similar to those worn by Sena Kobayakawa, the game outside had been going on for quite a while. When Kanon returned to the court, she saw a score of 42-0.

"...What the hell?!" Hanon wailed, "So all this effort to put on my jersey is just to get wiped out?"

But before she could angrily throw down her helmet to vent her frustration, Kobayakawa Sena had already been tackled out of bounds by a player from the Sunset Warriors.

Because the score was so lopsided, the outcome was already a foregone conclusion. The Nimon team was relaxed, while the players from Yuyo High School were in a somber mood.

Hanon also discovered that this somber atmosphere contained a strange emotion.

Unaware of the truth, Kanon quietly approached the Deimon bench, patted Rinne, a cheerleader who had been watching the game from the sidelines, and asked in a gruff voice, "Uh, the Sunset Warriors are behaving strangely, what's going on?"

Lingyin turned around and saw Hana, her eyes immediately lighting up with curiosity and excitement: "Wow! You're the Lightspeed Masked Man 23 that Brother Yaoyi was talking about, right? He has high hopes for you!"

Before the tournament began, Hiruma had praised Kanon to the Deimon team, saying that this "Lightning Masked Man 23" was a super player who could greatly improve the team's strength. However, for more than a week afterward, Kanon didn't report to Deimon, and no one saw this legendary player. Now that he suddenly appeared in front of them, Rin naturally had to take a good look at him.

"You're a bit short, and you don't seem very heavy... but you're much stronger than Sena, huh?" Rin's words came out like a machine gun: "What's your name? Why are you being so mysterious? What position do you kick?"

"...Stop." Hanon quickly waved her hand to stop Suzune: "You haven't answered my question yet."

Lingyin then snapped out of her daze: "Oh, the Sunset Warriors! Their original starting players were all benched. The players on the court this time were all top athletes borrowed from other clubs. Sunset High School is famous for its volleyball and baseball, with excellent results, and these athletes are top-tier nationally. However, American football isn't just about athletic ability; they were completely crushed by everyone!"

"Hmm, I see." Hanon felt a little guilty, because she was also someone whose only asset was her physical abilities...

Just as Lingyin finished explaining the situation of the Sunset Warriors, things changed on the other side. As Sena, the "lightning-fast masked man," was tackled out of bounds, the Sunset Warriors' "temporary starter" suddenly clutched his arm and cried out, "Ouch! My hand might be broken! Oh dear, I can't play this game anymore!"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment; the player was clearly unharmed! But suddenly, the Sunset Warriors players seemed to have figured something out and came up with various reasons to refuse to play.

"Me too, I think I have appendicitis..."

"My forehead feels hot and my head is spinning. Is it a cold? No, it might be cholera..."

"Coach, I can't continue playing either, oh dear, oh dear."

The Sunset Warriors' coach simply gave up: "Do whatever you want, we're going to lose anyway." He turned to the bench: "Hot Sea, you lead the original players onto the court."

With the game halfway through and the outcome no longer in doubt, the "temporary starters" from Sunset High School showed a glimmer of humanity by giving up their playing time to the American football club members who were originally weak but worked very hard.

"Go for it, Sunset Warriors! Go Sunset Warriors!" In the stands, the Sunset Warriors' only cheerleading squad cheered them on, and the actual Sunset Warriors players erupted with incredible fighting spirit: "We must advance to the Christmas Bowl!"

Even Kanon on the sidelines could feel this momentum, let alone the players on the field from Deimon.

"Hehehe, although it's still a weak team," Hiruzen laughed, "the Sunset Warriors' chances of winning have gone from zero back to one percent."

He pointed to Kanon on the sidelines: "Make a substitution. Let Lightspeed Masked Man 23 replace Ishimaru from the Track and Field Club and take over as the second running back."

"Ah, it's that mysterious newcomer!" Most of the Mud Gate team only noticed Kanon's arrival at this moment.

"Hehehe, facing a sincere opponent, of course we should field our best lineup." Hirumon chuckled as he arranged the formation.

Hanon's American football debut has arrived.

However, Kanon was still quite confused. She seemed a bit lost after going on stage, and when she approached Hiruma, she quietly asked, "Hey, what should I do?"

Hiruma had already considered that Kanon was not familiar with American football tactics and rules, and that was why he arranged for Kanon to play running back: "It's simple, I'll give you the ball in a bit, you just need to run... Although this is not your most suitable position, it's the only option for a beginner."

"Just run..." The instruction was quite clear. Kanon walked to her position and stood still, waiting for Hiruma to start the game.

After a brief interlude, the game finally continued and entered the final moment. Hiruma kept his word and threw the ball directly to Hanon after the kickoff. Hanon, without thinking twice, rushed towards the Sunset Warriors' zone.

No one can stop Kanon.

The Sunset Warriors never expected that Mudgate would hide such a powerful weapon. Several players who appeared along the way were either dodged or pushed down by Hanon. Just when they were about to reach the zone, the Sunset Warriors' captain, Atami, became Hanon's last obstacle.

This passionate high school senior declared: "Let's settle this! Mysterious player, this is the last time that Daisuke Atami of the Sunset Warriors will showcase his skills in his current playing career—ah!"

The declaration was passionate, but unfortunately, it was useless. Victory wasn't decided by shouting. Kanon easily broke through Atami's obstruction. She even pulled off a fancy move, using her precise muscle control to simulate Kobayakawa Sena's swaying running style. Although not exactly the same, it was seven or eight parts similar.

Although Atami worked exceptionally hard, his talent was rather mediocre. Faced with Kanon's charge, he simply didn't have time to make any effective moves.

"Awesome!" "Touchdown!"

Atami's sigh and the referee's whistle sounded almost simultaneously. The passionate young man, who had fought for the Sunset Warriors for three years, exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "This is the real charge!"

Author's Note: Hanon has finally started running; this is just a warm-up at best.

Section 277, Chapter 274: Those Powerful Enemies

The match ended just like that, without any suspense, not intense, and even uneventful. Although the Sunset Warriors were full of fighting spirit, their strength was really lacking. They had fallen too far behind earlier and ultimately suffered a crushing defeat.

On the Deimon side, Hiruma found Kanon immediately—Kanon wasn't hard to find either. After that formation run, she didn't even know how to move around on the field. She was standing there like a wooden stake and was even mocked by the "Haha Three Brothers" in the team.

"How was your first time playing American football?" Hiruzen asked.

"It was alright. I was quite excited on the field, but I didn't know what to do and felt a bit awkward..." Hanon subconsciously tried to scratch her head, but with gloves on her hands and a helmet on her head, she couldn't complete the action at all.

"Hmm, this set of equipment is also not easy to wear, and it's especially stuffy."

"Hehehe, women's rugby abroad wears very little clothing, but we're playing a high school game in Japan right now... Hmm?" Hiruma had barely finished a few casual remarks when he sensed Kanon looking in another direction through her helmet: "What's wrong?"

Hanon was looking towards the Sunset Warriors' bench, where the defeated team was huddled in a circle. Captain Atami was giving his final farewell speech: "After today's defeat, my three senior classmates and I will be ending our high school American football careers, but the rest of you still have next year, so don't give up!"

"Don't give up, Sunset Warriors!" Atami led his teammates in a shout: "Go for it, Deimon Demon Bat! Carry our blessings and fight for the championship!"

"Go, Sunset Warriors! Go, Mud Gate Demon Bats!" The other members of the Sunset Warriors also shouted while shedding tears.

"Isn't this incredibly touching?" Hanon sighed softly. "You asked me before if there were any other reasons for joining the Mud Gate? This youthful passion is the answer. I want to experience it too."

Actually, after being threatened by Hiruma that day, Kanon followed Hiruma all the way, intending to find his weakness. Then she overheard Hiruma and Kurita talking in front of a TV full of messages from Deimon players. Although Hiruma was a jerk, his dedication to teamwork and competitive spirit was undeniable, and Kanon was moved by it.

Emmm, besides, Hiruma didn't just threaten Kanon; the conditions at Deimon he mentioned were quite good, and the fact that she didn't have to worry about grades or class schedules was what appealed to Kanon the most. She hadn't come to Deimon for the past week, partly to test whether the school was really that lenient.

"Youthful passion..." Hiruzen laughed: "Hehehe, there are plenty of passionate young men, but few can actually win. You brat, don't think you've got this in the bag. Individual strength alone can't guarantee victory in American football!"

He pointed to the stands: "There are still a few strong teams playing later, so let's come and scout out our future opponents."

“No problem.” Hanon wholeheartedly agreed. In fact, after standing on the American football field for a while, she did feel a bit strained—not that she lacked personal ability. Even without any professional training, Hanon's martial arts skills were enough to make her stand out on the American football field. However, the field was simply too large. Hanon was not a superhuman after all; she couldn't fly or run at the speed of light, and it was difficult for her to dominate the entire field.

"But before that, I need to take this outfit off; it's too heavy..."

About half an hour later, Kanon arrived at the stands. President Urida and Ryo Inaba were not fans of American football and had already left. However, Mieko Suo was still waiting for Kanon: "Ah, Kanon, over here."

"Hmm~" After Kanon walked over, Miho took Kanon's arm and kissed her on the cheek.

"Ah, Hiruma, look, there's a pair of really pretty lace-trimmed girls over there, the level of ambiguity is MAX." The members of Team Deimon had already arrived at the stands, among them, Raimon Taro, who looked particularly like a monkey, had sharp eyes and immediately spotted Kanon and Miho's intimate actions.

Hiruzen knew exactly what was going on and shouted, "Forget about everyone else, the match is about to start! We need to pay close attention to the Western Wild Gunners' match."

This "Western Wild Gunners" team exudes an American cowboy vibe. The leader is a scruffy guy who doesn't look like a teenager. It seems like everyone in the Mudgate knows him. As soon as he appears, everyone calls him Kidd.

"I heard that the West is a very strong team." Hanon and Miho were also exchanging ideas: "I looked up some information last week, and it seems that they were the runners-up in the Spring Tokyo Tournament, losing to the Royal White Knights by only one point."

As she spoke, Hanon's gaze drifted to the Western team's cheerleaders. She had to admit, girls in cowboy outfits were really beautiful... ahem.

As for the Western team's opponent, it's a team called Love Hill Cupid. Although they're not very strong, they're very unique—truly unique. Love Hill High School isn't academically strong either, but their selling point is the relationships between male and female students. As a result, all the players on this team actually have girlfriends!

"I suddenly feel like I've entered the wrong school," Hanon exclaimed. Then she noticed Miho's small hand touching her inner thigh and pinching it hard.

"Ouch—this is infuriating!" Kanon isn't a superhero; she gets hurt too, but she's not stupid enough to yell at Mieko: "These Koi no Oka members are really neglecting their duties; this trend must not be allowed to continue!"

"Hmph, you're smart to know your place." Mihoyo calmed down and snuggled up with Kanon again. This scene was witnessed by Raimon Taro once more, and he sighed, "Ah, these couples showing off their love, it's both enviable and jealous."

Indeed, watching others fall in love can turn single people into envious lemons. It's one thing for Kanon and Miho to be happy, since they're not participating in the competition, but the popular people on Cupid's Hill of Love are definitely drawing envy. The Western Wild Gunner, seething with anger, showed no mercy during the match, unleashing a flurry of plays that pushed the score past 100 before halftime.

"Um, we're done for..." Cupid's players were utterly humiliated and had completely lost the will to continue the game: "We forfeit..."

The final score was 125 to 10. In the stands, Kurita from the Deimon team remarked, "The West team and the Royal team are two extremes. One has a top-notch attack, but their defense allows weak teams like Cupid to score. The other is a traditionally strong defensive team, an impenetrable wall."

"Hehehe, what does it matter?" Hirudo said nonchalantly, "If the opponent scores, we just need to regain the advantage, and then we can have a fierce offensive battle with them!"

However, Deemon's next opponent is not the West, but the Exclusive Scorpions. If they break through the Exclusive Scorpions, they will face... the Deep Sea Gods.

The team is called "The Deep," but the actual players are quite small. This contrast has always been a joke in the high school American football world. However, in the game against the Hashiraya Deer, The Deep actually substituted a group of players who were over 1.9 meters tall at halftime, completely overwhelming the Hashiraya Deer in terms of size...

Chapter 275, Section 278: Long Time No See, Fitness Girl

With Jushin defeating Hashira, another day of competition came to an end, and yet another group of teenagers lost their dreams.

Kihei Yamamoto, the ace player of Hashiraya Deer, collapsed to his knees, utterly unable to believe the final result. Meanwhile, Kengo Mizumachi, the blond-haired kid from the Kyoto Shinkansen team who had dominated him throughout the match, squatted down beside him and said with a hint of sarcasm, "Hey, old man, this was truly a battle between a colossus and an ant~"

Ghost Soldier had a mature appearance and was extremely skilled in American football. He was a master of forward technique and an idol to many forwards, including Kurita. Now, not only had he lost the game, but he had also been taught a lesson by his opponent. He was getting more and more depressed. But Mizumachi on the other side kept talking like a machine gun: "Your era is over. The future is the younger generation with tall and slender figures like me!"

"Hey, stop talking about Mizumachi!" another member of the Kyokusuke team shouted at the Oni-gun: "Be polite!"
