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

"What are you doing!" Hua Yin exclaimed slightly, she didn't expect that she could be touched inappropriately while next to Zhuang San.

"Pah, his reaction is effeminate too!"

Emmm, although Kanon is a woman in this life, she is still a man at heart, and she is still very unhappy to be mocked like this.

“…Ignorance is no excuse, ignorance is no excuse, I’m not angry, I’m not angry…” Hana barely managed to suppress her anger.

Just then, the referee blew the opening whistle: "Toot—"

Then, Kanon channeled her anger into power and unleashed it on the Scorpion team's forwards.

"Ah!" A child in the stands tugged at his parent's sleeve, "Dad, look, there's a shooting star!"

Section 281, Chapter 278: Fulfilling a Vow

The Scorpions, a team with a small reputation in Japanese high school American football, are known for their average strength and speed. While their players may seem unremarkable at first glance, their win rate in recent years has been remarkably high, suggesting they may be on the verge of becoming a strong team. This is, of course, for a reason: the key to their success lies in captain Sasuke Kinshukushi's keen observation and psychological tactics.

Jin Chuan believes that American football is a psychological war, and the strongest weapon is keen observation. During the game, he can always see the opponent's habitual movements, analyze them, and take targeted tactics. Therefore, despite not having a physical advantage, the Scorpions, under his leadership, achieved ten victories throughout the year—more than the Deebots had combined over the past three years.

Before the match, Jin Chuan believed that strong teams like Wangcheng and the Western Conference were no match for him because his observation skills were unparalleled. However…

"What the hell is this?!" Jin Chuan's expression was almost dazed as he let out a bewildered shout. This new forward from the Mud Gate team, whose face he couldn't even see, was too powerful! Seeing his own forward fly out at an incredible speed, so fast that it seemed to leave a blur, it wasn't hard to imagine how powerful Hanon's push had been. Jin Chuan immediately lost his composure.

"What the hell is this?!" There was someone who screamed even louder than Kinkushi, and that was none other than Toba Shozo, who had observed the power of Hanon up close.

Kanon is certainly not the strongest man in the world, that might belong to Julius Reinhardt, but Kanon is strong enough to contend with the "Tiger" Wakatsuki Samurai. The level of strength Kanon exerts when she goes all out is an irresistible, mysterious force of nature to ordinary high school students.

Zhuang San's worldview was completely shattered: "What the hell is going on? A human can actually gain such great power? In such a thin and short body? And I've always been unconvinced by him? I even pinched his arm just now?"

A barrage of question marks nearly drove Zhuang San crazy. He turned to look at his two friends, Jumonji and Kuroki Koji, who were also stunned. The three of them swallowed hard, secretly relieved: "Luckily we didn't actually fight him... luckily we're still his teammates..."

Yes, although Kanon's performance was exaggerated, it was ultimately a good thing for Deimon.

"Hehehe, this brat is really going all out right from the start." Hiruzen was very happy: "I originally thought I would have to use some strategy to outwit that kid Kinkushi in this match, but judging from this, I can probably just push through with my forwards."

Hiruma's judgment was correct. He didn't need to put in much effort. The lineup of Kurita, Kosuke, and the three brothers on the front line, plus Kanon, was already incredibly luxurious. There was no team in the entire high school world that could match them. He only needed to make some almost instinctive passes, and the opposing team, Scorpion, was full of holes, allowing Deimon to easily score.

The score quickly reached 30-0...

"Damn it, how are those Mudgate guys so strong?" The players of the exclusive broadcast Scorpion team had already begun to lose their fighting spirit, and Jin Chuan himself was no exception. He just did his usual motivational speech: "Don't, don't be afraid, use your brains and think... That's right, Mudgate has very few usable players, almost no substitutes, so as long as we exhaust their stamina, victory will still belong to us!"

"Hehehe, it seems like they're still trying to put up a fight?" Hiruzen happened to see Hanon: "You brat, how are you feeling?"

"First, stop calling me 'Miss Nobody' all the time!" Hana complained first, then added, "Second, I feel like I've just finished warming up."

...What else is there to say?

In the end, Demon crushed the exclusive broadcaster by more than fifty points. Kanon was substituted off the court to rest in the fourth quarter. She didn't stay long, changed her clothes and went straight to the stands, where Miho was watching the game again.

"You did a great job, Kanon~" Miho gave Kanon a big hug, which caught the attention of Taro Raimon, who was still on the sidelines during garbage time: "Ah, it's that pretty lesbian couple, they really love rugby, they come every time!"

"Seriously, you stinky monkey, the competition isn't over yet!" Hirumon yelled.

"Yes, yes," Mentae replied, but his eyes swept over the bench: "Ah, that new speed demon is gone again. He's really capricious. Is it because the opponents are too weak and the matches are too boring?"

Well, although Kanon didn't really leave, this question is really hurtful. Even Miho asked the same question: "Hey, Kanon, you seem very relaxed. Isn't it too boring to compete with these kids?"

"No, it's easy, but not boring at all." Hanon smiled and reached out to pinch Miho's little nose: "Victory itself is the best reward. Besides, American football is a new field for me, and it will take some effort to get used to it."

After checking the time again, Hana said, "It's about time we set off."

"Hmm!" Kanon had mentioned something to Mieko before, so Mieko had prepared a car for this trip: "But why do we have to rush to Hiroshima overnight?"

Hanon gazed at the distant sky: "I'm going to fulfill a small wish..."

The next morning, a Sunday, a fierce high school basketball game was underway in the gymnasium of Hiroshima, Japan. Shohoku High School was challenging the reigning champion Sannoh Technical High School. With two and a half minutes left in the game, the score was 66 to 74.

Although the score is still slightly different, in just a few minutes, Shohoku High School, with Sakuragi Hanamichi's super-active performance, has gradually closed the gap, turning a huge deficit of twenty or thirty points into a single-digit difference.

In the midst of a fierce scramble, the basketball glided out of bounds. Shohoku's shooter, Mitsui Hisashi, exhausted, was unable to catch up with the ball. Suddenly, a loud shout rang out: "Mitsui! Get out of the way!" Sakuragi Hanamichi leaped into the air, charging towards the basketball with incredible speed and momentum, determined to regain possession!

Sakuragi made the save, and the ball returned to Shohoku's hands; it wasn't a dead ball. However, his body slammed straight into the scoreboard on the sidelines, where there were many people and tables. The people were relatively safe, but the tables had sharp edges; a solid impact could have resulted in serious injury…

"Boom boom boom boom..." Sure enough, there was a loud noise. The referee immediately stopped the game and ran over to check: "Hey, Shohoku player, are you alright?"

The fall was quite hard, and the teammates rushed over to check on him, even Rukawa, who always clashed with Sakuragi! But, true to his aloof nature, he still spoke with a touch of arrogance: "Well done, you big idiot..."

"Who's the idiot?!" Nothing could rouse Sakuragi more than Rukawa's words, and he jumped up.

"Wow!" The whole place erupted in cheers: "This red-haired kid is really full of energy! It wouldn't be surprising if he had died from that fall just now, how come he didn't get hurt at all?"

Even Sakuragi himself was a little scared. He touched his back and said, "That's strange. It doesn't hurt at all. I should have bumped it, right?"

"Ouch, that hurts... Sakuragi, you brute, didn't you even realize I was your scapegoat?" Kanon's voice came from under the white tablecloth...

Author's Note: Hmm, SD has finally fulfilled its long-cherished wish.

Section 282, Chapter 279: The Flower Market is as Bright as Day

Yes, Kanon came to Hiroshima at this time, of course, to "save Sakuragi's life."

The Slam Dunk in this new world is somewhat different from the one in Kanon's previous life. For example, the national tournament, which was supposed to be held in August, has been moved to September. Kanon is also unsure whether Sakuragi will get injured again in this game, or when he will get injured, so she stays on the sidelines the whole time, silently watching the game.

The match between Shohoku and Sannoh was a classic in Kanon's memory. Now, witnessing the three-dimensional live version, Kanon was completely satisfied. The progress of the match was not much different from what Kanon knew. So, the closer it got to the end of the match, the more Kanon paid attention to Sakuragi. Finally, at the moment when he made a diving save, Kanon blocked him in front of him.

Kanon originally intended to gently reach out and catch Sakuragi, but there were so many people at the scoreboard, and the tablecloth was so long, that Kanon accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, using her body to cushion Sakuragi's fall...

"Damn it, I, Ye Huayin, am not some stepping stone!"

"Ah, it's you!" After Hanon hurriedly crawled out from under the tablecloth, Sakuragi Hanamichi finally recognized her. Today, Hanon was dressed in men's clothing and even wore a pair of glasses, which was quite different from when she last went to Shohoku.

"Yes, it's me." Hana brushed the dust off her clothes, stretched her muscles, and felt alright, at least she hadn't hurt herself. "You're not injured, are you? Then have a good match."

"Hahaha, how could this genius get injured? Watch me lead the team to victory!" Sakuragi didn't know that Kanon had really saved him from a disaster. He was used to being brave and immediately returned to the court full of energy.

Before re-entering the court, Sakuragi thanked Kanon, saying, "The new basketball shoes are nice. The gentleman who delivered them the other day was a very gentlemanly old man. You're not a rich girl, are you?" Without waiting for Kanon's reply, he re-entered the court.

Of the remaining members of Shohoku, none of them recognized Kanon except for Rukawa. Rukawa didn't recognize her either, since the two had only played one pickup game together. At that time, Kanon had just discovered her talent for controlling her muscles and hadn't yet experienced the later training and battles. Now, both her appearance and physique had changed a lot compared to then. Rukawa only felt that she looked familiar, but he didn't think much of it. The game in front of him was the most important thing.

Well, that was also Kanon's original intention. As long as Sakuragi was healthy and Shohoku finished this fierce battle in their best condition, Kanon's wish would be fulfilled. Whether others remember her or not is not important.

Those were truly a long and exciting two minutes...

After rescuing Sakuragi, Kanon watched the entire game from the sidelines. Because of Sakuragi's full-strength return, Shohoku's comeback was smoother and more fluid than in the original storyline, even gaining a three-point lead in the final half-minute. In the final moments, there was no more of Sakuragi's game-winning shot; instead, it became a back-and-forth battle between Sannoh's relentless attack and Shohoku's tenacious defense. Sakuragi continued to act as a stabilizing force, blocking several crucial shots. Ultimately, Shohoku narrowly defeated Sannoh by one point, overthrowing the reigning champions of Japanese high school basketball for many years. Although the scoreline seemed to have reached a turning point, Sakuragi Hanamichi was indeed uninjured.

"Whistle—" As the final whistle blew, Haruko Akagi and the rest of the Sakuragi Army rushed onto the court, joining the Shohoku substitutes to surround the players, laughing and shouting in celebration of their hard-fought victory. The Sannoh Technical High School players, meanwhile, walked dejectedly into the tunnel, believing that setbacks are the nourishment for a hero's growth…

As Kanon watched Sannoh leave the stage, her thoughts drifted. Not long ago, during the Kengan Tournament's decisive elimination match, when she defeated Kanou, was the scene similar? As the victor, she was immediately exhausted, while how did the defeated Kanou leave, and what were his thoughts?

Now, Kanon is the new champion of the Kengan Association. She will definitely encounter some strong opponents in the future. What will it be like if she is defeated one day?

Just as she was lost in thought, someone patted Hanon on the shoulder. She quickly turned around and saw that it was none other than the grinning Sakuragi Hanamichi.

"Hey, since you're here to watch the game, come over and take a picture!"

"Ah! Taking a picture!" Hanon suddenly realized that there was such a thing. After the toughest game, it's always good to leave some beautiful memories. In a daze, Hanon walked into the Shohoku team's crowd and left her image in that very memorable photo...

"Although they saved Sakuragi, Shohoku's stamina is almost exhausted. I don't know how far they can go in the next game."

That evening, Kanon and Miho took a car back to Tokyo. This weekend had been quite hectic, and even Kanon was a little tired: "Ah, I have to go to school tomorrow. I'm so sad."

After all, Kanon isn't a real superhero!

"Hehe, should we ask for leave tomorrow?" Miho asked with a grin, linking arms with Hanon.

"Never mind." Hanon shook her head: "My high school life has just begun, I need to maintain my attendance rate." Emmm, Hanon hadn't experienced going to school for a long time, so it was quite novel at first. She was new to the school, and even though the school was lenient, she wanted to be careful not to stand out too much.

Just then, the car happened to pass by the street where Demon High School was located. This street was called Demon Shopping Street. It was already night, and the street was brightly lit and bustling with people, as if some kind of event was being held. Hanon was very happy: "It's a night market! Shall we get off and take a walk?"

The night market was bustling with activity. Hanon and Miho strolled leisurely, and before they knew it, it had turned into a date—the atmosphere was wonderful. The flower market was brightly lit, the moon hung high in the willow trees, and naturally, people...

"Oh, it's a lesbian couple!" Just as Kanon and Miho were about to kiss, a voice interrupted them at an inopportune moment. Angry, Kanon glared at the person and realized it was a familiar face—a Deimon shopping street player, Taro Raimon, who had also appeared.

"Menta? What are you doing here? Isn't school over already?" Hanon was stunned. Since he was her teammate, her anger subsided. On the contrary, Menta was shocked. He didn't know that Hanon was "Lightspeed Masked Man 23," with whom he had played two games.

Do we know each other?

"Uh..." Hanon was stumped by the question, but luckily she reacted quickly and found an excuse: "I'm also a student of Deimon, I often go to watch your matches~"

"I see." Monta was very cheerful and didn't suspect anything, immediately believing Kanon's words... But a problem arose: "So, does that mean you're underage? And your relationships aren't purely heterosexual?"

What is all this nonsense?! This guy is getting more and more awkward.

Hanon had no choice but to change the subject: "...You're here to visit the night market too?"

“Yes, yes,” Monta said. “We’re going to face Jushin next. Their players are all so tall. The youngest member of our team isn’t very confident. Luckily, there’s a sumo tournament organized by the neighborhood tonight, so we’re here to learn from them.”

Sure enough, following Monta's directions, Kanon saw a plaque standing on a pavilion by the street, with several large characters neatly written on it: "Demon Shopping Street Sumo Tournament".

Author's Note: The next chapter will be about sumo wrestling!

Section 283, Chapter 280: Kanon, More Manly Than a Man

"Bang, bang." Firecrackers rang out, and someone set off fireworks, announcing the start of the sumo tournament in the Deimon Shopping Street.

Hanon and Miho also gathered around the ring to watch the excitement, listening to the host on stage rambling on: "There are still fifteen minutes left before the registration deadline. Friends who want to participate should hurry up and register with the volunteers~ The prize for this competition is provided by the owner of the toy store in the shopping street, which is fireworks worth 20 yen."

Looking at the pile of fireworks not far away, including some with bizarre shapes, skull stickers, and obviously extremely dangerous items, Hanako's forehead was covered in sweat: "This... is really unique."

However, perhaps infected by the joyful atmosphere, Kanon was also a little tempted: "Hehe, Mieko, do you want to set off fireworks? I'll join the competition too~"

"Yeah, yeah, go ahead and play if you want." Miho always listened to Kanon without question and never doubted her decisions. Besides, in her opinion, Kanon just wanted to have some fun. Kanon had even made it through the elimination rounds, so this kind of shopping street activity wasn't even a proper competition. The only thing to worry about was Kanon's identity: "Won't you be exposed like this?"
