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

Well, it wouldn't be considered deliberate isolation. It's just that after their crushing defeat of the Scorpion's frontline last time, the team's most troublesome "Haha Trio" are completely terrified of Kanon. They keep their distance from this terrifying "human bulldozer" and dare not cause trouble again. As for the others, since Kanon's identity is unknown and she seems rather aloof, most of them have close friends present and therefore have no interest in dealing with this mysterious person. The only ones who know Kanon's identity, Hiruma and Kurita, both have more important things to do.

"Keep it up, Kosuke!" Kurita encouraged his "disciple," Kosuke Daikichi. This short boy was going to face a towering opponent from the giants on the front line, that outspoken, sarcastic blond kid, Mizumachi. He was sure to cause Deimon a lot of trouble!

"Whatever, if Kosuke can't handle Mizumachi, I'll step in." Full of confidence, Kanon felt a surge of unease, like a mother hen...

The pre-match time passed quickly, and as the stadium chanted "Poseidon! Poseidon!", a group of tall, dark figures surged out of the players' tunnel—the players of the Deep Sea Poseidon team were coming out!

Actually, the entire deep team isn't made up of giants. Most of the players are ordinary Japanese students of traditionally short stature, with only five or six truly tall. But this group is incredibly imposing; standing there, they're like a high wall, and when they move, they transform into a row of towering waves, creating an astonishingly powerful sense of oppression. They stunned the entire stadium the moment they entered the field.

"Wow, they're so tall!" "Even though I knew it beforehand, it wasn't until we became opponents, put on our protective gear, and lined up in a row that I realized how scary they really were..."

The members of Team Deimon, especially the short Sena and Monta, immediately began to waver. Kanon, whose height was just over 1.7 meters, also appeared quite small next to the two-meter-tall Titans like the Giants, and felt some pressure. But Kanon had participated in the Deathmatch Tournament, a tournament teeming with monstrous figures, and she had many opportunities to stand together; she was used to being surrounded by Titans.

At this moment, Hiruzen clapped his hands: "This isn't basketball. In American football, being tall doesn't guarantee a win!" This terrifying captain was encouraging his players: "Only the strong can win. Being tall doesn't necessarily mean you're strong."

The players of the Mudgate Bats gathered together and shouted their slogan: "Kill—No—Spare!"

The two sides then took their positions, and the referee blew the opening whistle, officially starting the match.

Sena charged forward with the ball, pushing the attacking position to midfield in an instant. Then, the ball was kicked off from both sides, and the first clash between the forwards of Deimon and Kyokusuke began.

A reporter on the sidelines glanced at the comparison between the two sides and made a judgment: "Demon will have a hard time. Their forward line only has Kurita as a tall player. Jumonji, Kuroki and Toha are all ordinary players. Lightning Mask 23 and Kosuke Daikichi are short in height, which is a huge disadvantage."

On the Deimon side's bench, cheerleader Suzune was discussing with team assistant Mamoru Anezaki: "Is being tall really that advantageous?"

"That's right, especially the forwards. In American football, the forwards don't necessarily rely on brute force to push opponents aside. The essence is to create space for teammates to move around by pushing. Therefore, no matter how strong the wall is, if it's too short, there will naturally be gaps, which is definitely a disadvantage." Anezaki looked at the field: "Go, Susumu! Go, everyone! Uh, go, Lightspeed Masked Man 23!"

Cough cough, Kanon gets along so well with her teammates, even when others are cheering her on, they have to include her in the conversation...

In any case, this clash of attacking lines has begun.

With a low crouch and a powerful kick, the ball hurtled straight into the deep Mizumachi. This "little cannon" was indeed powerful, fast and strong. The 193cm, 79kg Mizumachi was caught off guard and was sent flying backward, allowing the goalkeeper to advance a few more yards.

"Well done, Yoshi!" Everyone came over to congratulate her, including Kanon, who patted Yoshi on the back.

But in the next charge, Kosuke didn't gain the upper hand—both sides clashed, and Kosuke and Mizumachi both stopped their momentum, resulting in a stalemate.

Then Mizumachi moved.

He raised his arms and made a freestyle swimming motion, pressing down on Xiaojie's back with his hands. Because of the difference in center of gravity, even though Xiaojie was not at a disadvantage in strength, he was still knocked to the ground by Mizumachi like a vaulting horse.

Mizumachi is a genius, and a genius with excellent physical abilities, no innate weaknesses, and who is serious and hardworking.

Kyoku successfully defended, and Deimon lost possession of the ball. Next, it was Kyoku's turn to attack, and there was no shortage of a duel between the forwards. Mizumachi's "swimming" style was still unstoppable, and Kosuke couldn't stop him at all.

Hanon realized that American football is indeed a systemic sport. If one part is affected, the whole thing will be disrupted. If one point is exposed, the entire forward line will become scattered, and then the team's offense and defense will be affected. Even though he had the ambition to conquer Mount Tai and the North Sea, he was helpless as the deep team continued to push into the heart of the field.

Looks like I'll have to step in! Kanon decides to give Mizumachi special attention.

Something felt off during today's match. Maybe it was just a sudden impulse, or maybe it was a martial artist's heightened intuition, but Hanon had a feeling that something dangerous was going on in the arena, making her hesitant to play freely... Well, maybe it's just that her period started...

Ahem, Hanon was born a girl after transmigrating; these kinds of things are bound to happen eventually!

Section 286, Chapter 283: A Man's Arm Strength, A Tremendous Wave

Faced with Mizumachi's dominance, Deemon was momentarily at a loss. In the stands, Yamamoto Kihei, the ace of the Hashiraya Reindeer team who had been defeated by Jushin in the previous round, sighed: "Mizumachi is really too difficult to deal with. His technique is not bad, but his physical advantage is too great. Deemon needs to find someone else to deal with him, otherwise they will definitely lose... But Mizumachi will keep an eye on Kosumi's attacks, and this point has always been Deemon's weakness. They are in danger."

The demon soldier wasn't wrong; Deimon did indeed need to restrain Mizumachi. Hiruma naturally thought of Kanon: "Hey, Lightspeed Mask 23..."

"You don't need to tell me, I'm already preparing." Hana snorted. Although that strange feeling kept lingering, her sense of collective honor compelled her to go and replace Koyo.

But just as Hanon took a step, Xiaojie spoke up—he had also overcome a huge psychological barrier before stepping onto the field, and this short boy was, after all, a passionate young man: "I won't run away!"

In summary, everyone, whether they understand "Wei Li Language" or not, understands what he means. If he were to be replaced now, that wouldn't be manly! Hmm, even though Kanon is a girl, she's a real man at heart!

She happened to walk up to Xiaojie, so she reached out and patted Xiaojie on the shoulder, saying in a rough voice, "Go for it, Xiaojie, I believe in you."

"Thank you!" Xiaojie responded. To Kanon, who could understand "Power Language," what he actually said was: "Although you're a mysterious guy who rarely talks or interacts with us, someone who can gain Master Kurita's approval and enter Deimon's front line must be pretty good. Thank you for encouraging me. I will work hard. Let's all cheer each other on and make it to the Christmas Bowl!"

...Don't worry about why the summary is so concise. The world is just that amazing. Don't ask, the answer is always, "You don't understand the world of men."

"Mmm." Feeling appreciated, Hanon added a final reminder: "Remember to use your wrist strength."

"W-wrist strength?"

"A real man shouldn't lose to someone else in arm strength so easily." Hanon turned her head. Judging from weight and strength, Xiaojie didn't have many disadvantages. His main disadvantage was the center of gravity problem caused by his height. However, there are many ways to change the center of gravity in fighting techniques. Xiaojie's arm strength is very strong. If he uses it well, he will definitely have a way.

Having gained some insights, the next phase will be a new round of offense and defense for both sides.

"Set, Hut, Hut!"

Koyo launched another attack—quickly! But Mizumachi was just as fast, even faster, pressing down to block Koyo's path: "Little bean, I won't let you succeed~"

Xiaojie raised one arm, temporarily blocking Mizumachi's power, which surprised everyone and gave them hope.

"Which move will be stronger, Mizumachi's Swim or Kosuke's RIP?" Raimon Taro shouted. As a fellow member of the Deimon's junior team, Raimon Taro was also very interested in Kosuke.

“Of course…” Hanon said softly, “the one with the greater strength will win.”

Under everyone's gaze, Daikichi's face turned red, his veins bulged, and he mustered all his strength to finally knock over the tall Mizumachi!

This result exceeded the Deep's expectations, causing the quarterback to panic and be tackled by the Debrisgate, losing possession. Just moments before the Deep were about to advance into the scoring zone, the Debrisgate turned the tide.

"Xiao Jie, my son..." Among the crowd watching from the stands were Xiao Jie's parents, both burly and strong men. Xiao Jie had been under immense pressure lately, and his parents had seen it all. Now that their son had finally broken through against a formidable opponent, they were overjoyed.

"Our son, from a family of manual laborers, won't easily lose in arm wrestling! That masked teammate's reminder was right; it seems Xiaojie has made some good friends." Xiaojie's father laughed heartily, very pleased.

While Deimon was overjoyed, Jushin was naturally dejected. Since Mizumachi joined this school year, they had become accustomed to victory, and this was the first time they had seen the genius Mizumachi being defeated.

Mizumachi's face turned pale for a moment, but he eventually regained his composure: "It seems that this battle with Deimon is truly a 50/50 affair."

It seems that although Mizumachi likes to mock people, he actually has a good personality and temperament.

"It's not a 50/50 chance, but a sure victory for the Giant Deep Sea." After Mizumachi, the tall boy named Shun Kakei spoke. His expression was serious, his tone earnest, and his words naturally carried a convincing power: "The Deimon team has an extremely ferocious attack. Kurita's forward line, Taro Raimon's ball control, and the speed demon 21's running are all quite amazing under Hiruma Youichi's guidance. Their past opponents have often been shocked by this offensive and lost their composure... But the Giant Deep Sea is different. Our offensive and defensive tactics will not be relaxed in the slightest."

Everyone heard what Kakei Jun said, and Kanon sighed, "Ah, that guy said something really cool."

Ultimately, although Kakei Shun didn't talk much, he was the true anchor of the Great Deep, while Mizumachi, despite being broken through once by Kosuke, was still a force to be reckoned with, putting considerable pressure on Deimon on both offense and defense. The two sides switched sides and grappled near the center line for a while before Kobayakawa Sena, the "Lightning Masked Man 21," finally broke through the Great Deep's front line... Unfortunately, it was only the Great Deep's front line, not their defense.

"Wow!" Sena exclaimed in surprise, "That Kakei Shun's hands... are so long."

Her height gave her an advantage in terms of arm and leg length. Although Sena managed to avoid Mizumachi despite Kosuke's efforts, she was still tackled by Kakei Shun.

"Master, you're amazing!" ×2, two players from the deepest pool praised Jian Jun highly.

Jian Jun sighed helplessly, "I already told you not to call me master..."

"That won't do! In terms of skill, you are definitely our master!" The speaker was an extremely tall, black-haired young man: "I, Da Pingyang, will always be Master Jian's chief disciple!"

At this point, another person who claimed to be Jian Jun's disciple objected: "What nonsense are you talking about? I am clearly Master Jian's chief disciple." This person had dyed blond hair and wore glasses. Compared to the black-haired youth, his temperament was more calm and reserved, but what they had in common was that they were both equally tall: "It is already a disgrace that my height and name are similar to yours, you savage. As for the status of Master Jian Jun's chief disciple, I absolutely must not lose to you."

Atlantic, standing at 2.04 meters, and Pacific, standing at 2.05 meters, are the tallest players in Japanese American football. Add to that the 191-centimeter Shun Kakei, and the defensive line formed by the three of them is practically Mount Everest! However, the Japanese team prefers to call this combination "Taka-Nani".

"The three of us will never let the Deimon cross the line!"

The momentum unleashed by this trio dampened the spirits of the Nimaki players, and it seemed that Nimaki's attack was about to be hindered.

As for Hanon, her strange feeling grew stronger: "Yes, it's that guy with glasses named Atlantic. Even though he didn't look at me, I always feel like he's paying attention to me?"

Author's Note: This competition is not as simple as it seems...

Section 287, Chapter 284: Taking Action

Thanks to the extremely tall "Gao Lang" trio, Ju Shen firmly suppressed Niimon in front of his own scoring zone. Although Niimon still had possession of the ball, he was in a position where a single mistake could lead to a counterattack by the opponent.

Jun Kakei, along with Atlantic and Pacific, didn't engage in intense physical battles on the offensive and defensive lines. They waited for "Lightspeed Masked Man 21" to break through with the ball, forcing him to run into their encirclement. Because all three were giants with long arms and legs—a six- or seven-meter wingspan just standing still with their hands linked—their combined attack range was enormous. Human athleticism couldn't possibly cover such a distance in an instant. Therefore, theoretically, the deep-sea "Gao Lang's" blocking ability was invincible!

Even Kanon couldn't get past the three of them in a fraction of a second. She believed that even the fastest person she had ever seen, Rei Mikage, couldn't do it: "Truly invincible... in terms of distance."

Yes, in terms of distance alone, the trio's tackles can guarantee to "stop" the running back, but they cannot guarantee to "stop" the player.

“Um, Se… Lightspeed Masked Man 21.” Kanon leaned closer to Sena, almost calling out his name. Sena’s identity was currently a secret from his teammates. The presence of two mysterious masked men had made his teammates used to their presence, and it had also made Kanon and Sena unconsciously grow closer.

Just like in the motivational summary, Kanon also gave Sena advice: "It's unlikely that you can break through the three of them with your legs. The only thing you can do now is to charge straight at them! Use brute force to ram through them!"

"Huh—brute force?" Sena immediately faltered: "I'd love to, but I don't think I can possibly outmuscle them, can I?"

Emmm, that's true. Kanon glanced at Sena and noticed that he was indeed too thin. Without Kanon's extraordinary talent, it would be impossible for him to knock down any of the "high waves".

"Phew, fine, just give me the ball then, I'll handle the battle." Driven by a sense of collective honor, Kanon put aside the unease that had been lingering in her mind since the start of the match and decided to play freely and run the ball around—if no unexpected factors were to be considered, she believed that no one on the high school level court could stop her!

American football has many tactics and many ways for teammates to communicate. When Deimon attacked again, Kanon made a few hand gestures behind her back, indicating that she was going to attack. Hiruma then made some arrangements based on this. When the American football was kicked off again, Koumi was once again overpowered by Mizumachi. But when the players from Kyokushin rushed towards Hiruma and Sei at the same time, Hiruma passed the ball directly to... Menta.

"Clever!" The spectators in the stands saw it clearly: some of the Giant Deep players went to tackle "Eyeshield Masked Man 21," while others tackled Hiruma. And when they finally realized what was happening and went to tackle Mentaru, Raimon Taro cleverly passed the ball to "Eyeshield Masked Man 23" on the offensive and defensive lines. At this point, the path ahead was clear, and Hiruma's playmaking easily tore through Giant Deep's defense!

"But..." The audience was puzzled again: "Isn't the masked man from the Mudgate team part of the offense and defense? How fast can he be? Even the masked speedster 21 couldn't do that, can a player who relies on strength do it?"

The answer couldn't be clearer: it can work!

Because of Hiruma's manipulation, only the "Takanami" trio remained in front of Kanon. The three of them came together, arms outstretched, their movement accompanied by footsteps, their control range probably exceeding ten meters. Even Kanon couldn't help but click her tongue in amazement: "They're really amazing! Facing them directly, I felt it even more deeply. This kind of extremely long and dangerous control range is just like my fight with Bando Yohei during the final match..."

However, Kakei Shun and the others were still just high school students. While their control range was sufficient, their strength was nowhere near that of Bando's hand strike that could split gold and shatter jade. Kanon directly challenged Kakei Shun. As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the king. She wanted to defeat this incredibly powerful figure head-on and boost Deidon's morale. She even deliberately slowed down her pace for this purpose.

Jian Jun had no idea what kind of terrifying being he was facing. Seeing that the masked man opposite him wasn't too fast, he reached out and pounced, shouting, "Got you!"

However, his arm was blocked by the other party, and the other party's movements were not hindered at all. Jian Jun even vaguely heard the masked man's words: "No, I caught you."

Then came an unimaginable force, like a tornado sweeping across, that flipped Jian Jun to the ground. Hua Yin smiled slightly; though not enough to topple a city, it was enough to captivate people.

"This...this power is just like..." Kakei Jun was stunned: "Just like the real Lightspeed Mask 21!"
