"Ah, wait a minute...?" Before Hanon could finish speaking, Ohma had already confidently stepped into the arena for the eating contest. Hanon withdrew her outstretched hand, turning it into a facepalm gesture: "Good, good luck..."

That afternoon, after Tokita Ohma voluntarily lost to Kanon on Rushima Island, he once again experienced the fear of being dominated by a girl.

Author's Note: As promised, here's a free chapter. It's a lighthearted slice-of-life story and not really considered cheating out of royalties~

I'll be so sad if today's leave request is ultimately not used...

Well, 2019 has come to an end. I felt that this year was very difficult, but I will probably miss it in the future. It's not that things will get worse in the future, but because every experience will become a memory. Life is always a mix of sweet and sour.

Happy New Year to everyone! Wishing you all a wonderful new year ahead!

Section 305, Chapter 301: The Hidden Attributes of the Ace

"Hehehe..." Hanon walked into the elevator with a smile, with Zhou Fangmei Hui and Adam Dadoli beside her.

"Why are you laughing all the time, Miss?" Adam has his own separate place and doesn't spend every day with Kanon and Miho, so he was a little confused when he saw Kanon laughing.

"Me? I'm thinking about happy things..."

Seeing Adam reminded Kanon of the Kengan Association, and the Kengan Association brought to mind how Kitetsu Ohma had been humiliated by Sakura Hibiki last week. Faced with the gluttonous Hibiki, Ohma was completely overwhelmed, even nearly resorting to his "Pre-Borrow" technique, only to be stopped by Kanon, Kazuo, Kaneda, and others. Seriously? He barely survived, and now he's going to use Pre-Borrow just to eat? Does he have a death wish?

Of course, without advance payment, Ohma would be no match for Hibiki. In the entire street, the number one glutton is none other than Hibiki Sakura, a fact that even Kanon wouldn't even consider challenging.

Kanon simply kept Wangma's bewildered and impatient expression in mind, treating it as a funny everyday moment. This good mood lasted for a week, until today, when Kanon arrived at the arena with a happy mood for the match between the Deimon Demon Bat and the Royal White Knight.

"By the way, Miss." At this moment, Kanon was taking Miho to the stands. The stadium stands were very high and the elevators were quite slow. Adam suddenly spoke up, "I've recently looked at a few martial arts schools, and I'll be choosing one to train at soon."

Adam had realized his shortcomings in martial arts training ever since he met Kanon a few months ago. However, the Kengan tournaments were too frequent, and he hadn't been able to find a suitable teacher. After the final elimination tournament, he finally had enough time. Recently, Kanon joined the American football team, and Mihono came to watch every game. Adam, however, rarely went with her. One reason was that he came from the United States, where American football is particularly developed, and he always felt that the level of American football played by Japanese high school students was not high enough and didn't look interesting. Another reason was that he had been visiting martial arts schools all over Tokyo, looking for a dojo that suited him.

"Oh? What kind of dojo is it?" Hanon asked. They had discussed Adam's martial arts training several times, and the conclusion was that Adam could either take the path of extreme strength and make full use of his super strong erector spinae muscles to become a One-Punch Man and go all the way in the field of striking techniques; or he could find a jujitsu dojo to train in and develop a path that combines strength and flexibility. Between the two, it seemed that the latter had more room for development.

"I asked about the Shinshin-ryu Karate Dojo and the Rokujin Karate Dojo, and later I also talked to Brother Chujian. He recommended Shibukawa-ryu Aikido. Ah, Imai Kosuke also mentioned last time that his master is also good at Jujutsu. Maybe we can exchange ideas... Anyway, I need to choose carefully."

"That's quite a lot..." Hana nodded. "Once I'm done with this busy period, I can go with you to take a look."

The elevator stopped, and the three people stepped into the arena. The ambient noise suddenly increased!

"Demon! Demon!" "Go, Oojo!" "The Western Army finally defeated Ikazuchi and secured the final ticket." "Demon and Oojo, Lightspeed Masked Man 21 and Seijuro Sumirei, this is truly something to look forward to..."

After all, it's the Tokyo final. Even with upsets in Japanese American football, filling a huge city to capacity is quite easy. The stadium is packed today; the third-place match just took place, and the crowd is still buzzing with excitement.

Hearing the cheers from the crowd, even Adam got caught up in the excitement: "Wow, Miss, I never expected Asians to like American football so much... This level of enthusiasm is already on par with America."

"It's the finals after all~" Kanon sat down with Mie and Adam: "Adam, take good care of Mie, I'm going down."

Kanon had encountered an assassin during a previous American football game, an incident that still left her completely baffled. Afterwards, Kanon even refused to let Mieko come to watch the games, fearing she might also be attacked. Today is the Tokyo finals, and Mieko insisted on coming, so Kanon brought Adam along, mainly for her safety.

After settling Miho, Kanon entered the elevator again and headed towards the team's locker room. There were a few other people in the elevator, and one of the boys looked familiar to Kanon. After thinking for a moment, she thought, "Oh, isn't this the ace player of the Royal White Knights, Seijuro Shinjiro?"

It's quite a coincidence to be in the same elevator as the opposing team's star player! Jin doesn't know Hanon's identity, but Hanon can secretly observe him—Jin Seijuro is hailed as the strongest linebacker in Japanese high school history, the number one defensive player, with ridiculously strong physical attributes, perfect strength and speed. In a one-on-one situation, almost no one can escape his tackle.

However, this kind of player had been surpassed by Sena Kobayakawa in an earlier competition. Sena reached a speed of 4.2 seconds for 40 yards, entering the "world of light speed." Faced with absolute speed, even someone as strong as Shin could only look on in awe. From then on, the two regarded each other as arch-rivals.

"Nemesis...what a wonderful word." Hanon thought to herself, "It seems like I've been through a lot of battles and sports since I came here, but I just don't have a nemesis...this isn't exciting."

The elevator slowly moved forward, about to reach the floor where the team's locker room was located. Just then, Jin Qing Shilang reached out to press the elevator open button. Hanon chuckled, "What's the rush, buddy? The elevator doors will open automatically..." She suddenly realized that Jin was pressing the button a little too hard.

"Buzz—" The elevator made a rumbling sound and then stopped... It had malfunctioned.

"Oh my god!" Hanon was immediately shocked. Tokyo Stadium was a landmark building, constructed with top-quality materials. Just touching it gave it a solid, heavy feel. Yet, under such circumstances, Jin managed to destroy the large elevator with a single finger. This...

“…I’m sorry.” Ah Jin realized he had messed up and apologized seriously to the people in the elevator: “I always accidentally damage electronic devices.”

So this guy has this hidden attribute!

"Ugh, this is so annoying! We're still waiting to watch the game, you better think of something." There were a few other spectators in the elevator, who were now stuck inside for no reason, and they couldn't help but get impatient and started complaining to Ah Jin.

So Ah Jin reached out to push the elevator door. The elevator door was very heavy, and even with his strength, he could only push it open a small gap.

Just as Ah Jin was so exhausted that his whole body was trembling, a clear female voice suddenly rang out from behind him: "Let's lend a hand too."

That is naturally Hana-on.

Author's note: I'm a few minutes late. My New Year's Day was terrible... I got sick and lost five or six pounds overnight due to dehydration, sob sob.

Section 306, Chapter 302: The Clash of the Strongest Conflicts

At Kanon's call, everyone in the elevator worked together to climb up the elevator door and try to open it. The result was, of course, successful. Hidden in the crowd, Kanon could exert her strength without restraint. The half of the door she was responsible for opened faster than the half that Susumu Seijuro was responsible for.

"Hmm..." Ah Jin seemed to have figured something out, but he didn't say much. After everyone pushed open the door and moved to a safe place, he also hurriedly went to the rest room. The competition was about to start, and being late would get him scolded by the coach!

Hanon was different. Because her identity was kept secret, she needed to find a place to change into her team uniform separately and then go directly to the entrance to meet up with everyone... There, Hanon saw a bizarre scene.

"Hey, did the flu take its toll on Deimon?"

It turned out that all the members of the Mud Gate team were wearing masks, making them look like a group of sick patients.

In fact, Kanon knew that the Deimon members had been training with masks on for the past week. This was an emergency measure to improve their cardiopulmonary function and physical fitness, arranged by Hiruma. After a week, these high school students' physical fitness had improved considerably, but it was rather useless for a martial arts expert like Kanon. Therefore, she didn't need to follow the rule and could even make a joke about it now.

"Hmph, guys who don't practice often, of course they don't know about our special training." The "Haha Three Brothers" made a sarcastic remark to Hanon, who shrugged indifferently, which only made them more frustrated: "Ugh, this bastard privileged class!"

"Shut up." Hiruma was taking stock of the team members when he saw Hanon and said, "You're late... but you've just made it in time for the match, so there's no time for you to warm up."

Hanon flexed the muscles in her hands: "Don't worry, I've already warmed up, I'm ready to go at any time."

"That's good." Hiruzen nodded. "But as for the entrance... let's wait a bit."

"Hmm?" Before Hanon could ask another question, she heard the announcement from the arena outside, introducing the entry lists for both sides. Following the Royal City White Knight was the Deemon Demon Bat, and the first to enter from the Deemon side was—

"The ace of the Deimon Bats, the high-speed running back, the mysterious Lightspeed Masked Man 21, no, now we should call him Kobayakawa Sena!"

There was an uproar.

Even from a distance, Kanon could feel the deafening cheers from the arena. She was slightly surprised that Sena, who had always been hidden behind a mask, had chosen to reveal his true face in this match.

Hiruma, however, understood Sena better: "Hehehe, that brat has been thinking about it for a long time, and it's about time. After all, he has to face his nemesis, Susumu Seijuro, in this match. Taking off his mask and fighting head-on is the most guilt-free choice."

"But, this will probably be very troublesome for Mamoru-senpai..." Kanon thought of Mamoru Anezaki, the most important support person in the team. She had always treated Sena as a little brother who needed to be taken care of. Now that this little brother had suddenly become a powerful ace who could stand on his own, Mamoru Anezaki's long-held beliefs would be shaken.

"Hehehe, ignore her, she's not that kind of fragile woman." Hiruma truly lives up to his reputation as Mamoru Anezaki's confidant...

After eating a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), Hanon silently thought to herself, "I knew there was something going on between you two a long time ago."

After Sena, the commentator began introducing the remaining players of the Deimon team, who took the field in turn. The commentator's introductions, which seemed to have come from nowhere, were incoherent and quite unserious.

For example: "Raimon Taro, who dedicated his life to the flying catcher monkey who catches the ball!"

For example: "Taki, you're such an idiot!"

"...The unassuming Ishimaru...The convenient and easy-to-use reinforcement army...The 60-yard pistol with super-powerful kick, Musashi..."

The funniest thing is: "On the bench, the sleeping optical weapon, Snow Optics!"

After most of the players had come out, it was Kanon's turn. The commentator announced, "Deimon team has another powerful ace from the United States, who says he will sweep away Japanese American football players. Lightspeed Masked Man 23 - only those who defeat him will know his name."

"Does it have to be so arrogant..." Hanako sighed, speechless and embarrassed as she walked onto the court. Sure enough, she was met with a chorus of boos.

Needless to say, these introductions were all written by Hiruma. This guy with a perverse sense of humor made his appearance last, and that marked the end of the entrance for both sides.

"Your entrance introductions were quite interesting." The quarterback of the Royal Knights was a young man named Takami Ichiro, who wore glasses, was tall, and had a refined demeanor. He was clearly not known for his physical prowess. However, the fact that he could serve as the leader of the traditionally strong Royal Knights meant that he had his strengths. At least his strategy and passing skills were first-rate, enough to rival Hiruma.

"Hehehe, I heard that your royal city has recently practiced a new 'giant crossbow' tactic, and you even defeated the Golden Generation who have already advanced to higher education..." Hiruma stared at Takami, his words full of murderous intent: "Let me guess, the so-called 'giant crossbow' means that our defensive ace, Seijuro, will also participate in the attack, right?"

However, faced with Hiruzen's soul-searching question, Takami remained completely unmoved, without making a single unnecessary movement: "Excuse me, I don't understand what you're talking about."

"Tch, still as troublesome as ever..." Hiruzen frowned, sensing something was wrong. In clashes between strong teams, those with secrets were always more terrifying, especially since a commander like him always hated uncertainty.

“However, Deimon is not without its secret trump cards…” Hiruma turned around and glanced at the two people: Kanon on the field and Yukimitsu off the field.

The referee tossed a coin, and Hiruzen guessed correctly. Without hesitation, he chose to go first.

The players of Deimon took off their masks. In the gloomy weather of the Tokyo final, a large amount of cool and crisp air entered their lungs and flowed quietly into their bodies, giving them a feeling of excitement.

Sena Kobayakawa and Seijuro Susumu exchanged glances, the two rivals ready for their showdown. The other players also took their positions, their hearts filled with a mixture of tension and excitement.

"We swear by the pride of knights that we will return victorious. We are not here to fight the enemy, we are here to defeat the enemy!" The leader of the royal city is Takami, and the ace is Jin, but the captain is Makoto Otahara, a third-year student. He was Kanon's opponent in the last sumo match, and was directly judged to have lost because of his exposed penis... However, at this moment, this silly big guy also said some very cool words.

When the White Knights' announcement reached the Deli Gate, Hirumon sneered and followed suit with his own pre-match declaration: "We're not here to defeat the enemy... we're here to kill them!"

The White Knight of the Royal City: "Glory to the Kingdom!"

Mud Gate Demon Bat, "Slay without mercy!"

The battle between what could be described as the strongest defensive team and the strongest offensive team in Japanese high school American football began. In this game, Hiruma assigned Kanon to a position at the very back of the attacking end, a position known as half-back or tailback.

Author's note: I did have diarrhea yesterday... but I'm much better now, just a little tired~ The match between Deimon and Oujou was originally in the National Tournament, but since Kanon has already pushed us all the way to the Tokyo finals, I don't want any unexpected events to delay this match, so let's finish it here.

Section 307, Chapter 303: A Thrilling Start

The so-called halfback, abbreviated as HB, is sometimes called the tailback (TB). During the offense, the halfback is located at the back of the team. Because it is relatively safe, the quarterback often passes the ball to the halfback for running or secondary distribution after the quarterback kicks off. Therefore, the halfback is the player with the most scoring opportunities and also the player who consumes the most energy in the game. Players who play this position either perform mediocrely and can only make up for the shortcomings, or they can have a superhuman performance and lead the whole team to victory.

Hiruma's decision to place Hanon here was actually a risky move. Hanon had been playing American football for less than two months and could only perform simple tactical combinations and assignments, but her individual abilities were extremely strong, making her hard to let go. Hiruma decided to take the gamble and placed Hanon here from the start.

However, since Nimen goes first, Wangcheng kicks off. In American football, the transition between offense and defense always begins with the opponent kicking the ball.

As expected, Ojo's kick flew towards Ishimaru, another running back from Deimon, which was the opposite of Kobayakawa Sena's position, preventing Sena from directly carrying the ball and running into the formation. However, Deimon understood this as well, so Hiruma had instructed him early on that Sena would rush towards Ishimaru after the start of the game and successfully get the ball.
