At this moment, Kanon and Hiruma were also chatting while looking at the night sky.
Although Hiruma is a terrible guy, he's also a very good person with his own charisma; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to unite so many Deimon players. Over the past few months of playing together, Hiruma has become one of the few people who know Kanon's true identity, and their relationship has grown increasingly closer, almost to the point where they can call each other friends.
After being upset by E-wang, the players of the Mud Gate team all went home. Hanon deliberately stayed a little longer and started talking to Hiruma.
"Let me play forward for the weekend's game," Hanon requested. "Kurita probably can't handle that vicious E-Wang. When the strengths are similar, E-Wang's speed and killing intent are stronger."
"Hehehe, you brat, you actually care about me? How reliable~" Hirudo chuckled slyly.
"Bah! You want to have your bones broken? You don't need the King of E's permission, I can do it right now."
Hiruzen waved his hand: "If that fat pig can't handle King E, do you think you can? Although I don't doubt that you could easily beat him in a fighting ring, but in a contest on an American football field..."
“Piece of cake.” Kanon interrupted Hiruma: “I’ve sparred with Kurita before, you can ask him about my strength.”
"Hehehe, no need, I trust you." Hirumon laughed, "Since you joined the team, I have a lot more cards to choose from. From the Tokyo region all the way to the Kanto finals, I really have to thank you."
However, this time it was Hanon's turn to be silent. After a long while, she finally spoke: "...Actually, I've always had a question."
"You, Kurita, Musashi, and the guys from other teams, Takami, Agon, Shin, Kidd, they always talk about making it to the Christmas Bowl, but nobody ever talks about winning it."
Hiruzen paused for a moment: "This..."
Kanon raised her hand to stop him: "You don't need to explain. Although I don't understand all the tactics of American football, I have looked up the basic information about high school American football... Teikoku Academy, right?"
The Imperial Black Alexander team is a team that will inevitably advance from the Kansai region, and even a team that will inevitably win the national championship. Since the establishment of high school American football in Japan in 1980, it has been a super team that has dominated the Christmas Cup finals in every year, and is known as "the beginning of everything, and also the end of everything".
Hiruma didn't deny it; instead, he fell silent. Even with Kanon and the lightning-fast runner Kobayakawa Sena on the team, even with everyone defeating strong teams one after another, the madman Hiruma still lacked confidence in defeating Teiguro. Hiruma might put on an act in front of others, but Kanon was a sensible person, so Hiruma didn't need to hide anything.
After a while, Hiruzen calculated in his mind several more times before slowly speaking: "I think we still have a chance."
"If you say it exists, then it exists." Hanon chuckled, looked up at the night sky, and like a protagonist in a hot-blooded anime, declared boldly, "I will definitely help the Deemon team defeat Teishoku and win the Christmas Bowl."
"Okay, okay." Hiruma picked at his ear, unmoved by Kanon's words, which cooled down the girlish enthusiasm that Kanon had finally mustered...
In short, let's focus on doing well in the next match.
It was another weekend, and the match between the Deimon Demon Bats and the White Autumn Dinosaur Team finally began. Spectators from all walks of life entered the arena, including other teams participating in the national tournament, who all came to witness the new king of Kanto. Even Kongo Agon was no exception. This guy has started practicing seriously recently, and it seems that being suppressed by Kanon for the entire match has been a big blow to him.
However, some people didn't attend. Kidd, who suffered a broken bone in the first round after being hit by Ewang, is still recovering in the hospital, and Tiema is by his side. The two are watching the match via live stream. Cough cough, it's also worth mentioning that Kanon has invested in Penasonic's "Panda Fighter"...
"Their match is about to begin," Kidd said to Iron Horse. "I hope Hiruma is luckier than me and doesn't get hurt by E-Oh."
On the screen, the referee had already blown the whistle, and the final battle of Kanto American football had begun!
Rikiya Eou took the lead and charged straight at Yoichi Hiruma. Then, Yoshihiro Kurita's massive figure blocked him. The two strongest men in the Japanese high school American football world entered into an ultimate monster battle, just like Godzilla versus Kong.
The two sides are evenly matched.
"Well done, Kurita!" With this scene, the audience immediately got into the mood: "As long as you gain five seconds, any quarterback has enough time to pass the ball, let alone a master like Hiruma!"
However, Hiruma unexpectedly kept the ball in his hands. He seemed to spend too much time observing, so much so that he didn't pass the ball for five seconds.
Then Kurita couldn't hold on any longer.
"Clatter... Kurita, you truly live up to my expectations as a warrior. You're even stronger than I imagined, a worthy opponent. Our duel will be a contest of the strongest high school teams in Japan." Kurita was speechless, but E-wang still had the energy to launch into a long speech. In truth, the difference in their abilities was already clear.
"Unfortunately, you have a reason why you can't defeat me." As he spoke, King E suddenly exerted his strength and pushed Kurita over.
Before Hiruma could even pass the ball, Eoh's target was him!
But when Hirudo looked at the King of E who was rushing towards him like a monster, a smile appeared on his face: "Hehehe, prove to me, you brat, that your power is greater than the King of E's?"
Besides Kurita, Eou was stopped again, this time by Lightspeed Masked Man 23, also known as Kanon.

Section 342, Chapter 337: Mutual Restraint
In terms of pure strength, Hanon is not superior to Ewang. In the real world, the strength of animals is often proportional to their size. In other words, the greater the weight, the greater the strength, which is the law of the material world. If one could surpass that, it would be a fantasy worldview.
Hanon can maximize her muscle utilization by using techniques like "Exploding Core" or "Valkyrie Mode," resulting in extraordinary bursts of power, but she is always somewhat lacking in static grappling.
However, Kanon has skills~ Her strength has never been the type to overpower others with brute force, but rather based on her innate muscle control, using techniques to manipulate the flow of power and attack vital points.
Martial arts, in essence, were created by the weak to defeat the strong.
Thus, Rikiya Eoh, a ferocious and powerful figure whose strength was arguably the greatest in the Japanese high school world, directly experienced the power of martial arts. His impact was first deflected to one side, and then he lost his balance and fell straight to the ground, landing face-first in the mud.
"Hmm?" The Prince of E's fall wasn't serious, which puzzled him even more. There was clearly no immense force involved, so how could he...?
However, this was only because Kanon held back. Eoh was merely "the strongest force in Japanese high schools." During the final match, Kanon even defeated Julius, "the strongest force in human history"!
"Hehehe, well done." Hiruzen was really bold, holding onto the ball until Hanon knocked Eoh down before making his move.
The ball soared high, only to be caught steadily by Raimon Taro, who then made a run. Bai Qiu's players tried to stop him, but were first blocked by the "Haha Trio," and the remaining players were pushed aside by Kobayakawa Sena—after so many matches, everyone had grown, and Sena, from that weak and timid little guy, had become a warrior who would proactively push away enemies.
"Beep—Team Mudgate, touchdown successful."
The first attack of the game resulted in a touchdown, and the speed of the attack was astounding, prompting a buzz of discussion among the spectators in the stands.
The Yamabushi of Shinryuji Temple sighed, "The Demon are undoubtedly one of the strongest offensive forces in Kanto now. No other force can stop their attacks."
"No, although Deimon's attack was strong, the key to this successful shot was the defense." Ojo's Seijuro gave a different opinion: "It was Lightspeed Masked Man 23 who blocked Eoh's attack, which allowed Hiruma to make a good pass."
"Indeed, he even stopped the Prince of E. He's truly remarkable!"
Inside the arena, King E had already stood up, staring at Hua Yin with a fierce expression.
He was thrown to the ground, but didn't feel any impact. If he had been defeated by Kurita, Oo would have been prepared and wouldn't have been too surprised, but this thin, masked man...
“It seems there was a reason you were so calm that day, but…” King E gritted his teeth and rebuked, “Heretical and wicked!”
It's not that Prince E dislikes martial arts; he just dislikes pure jujitsu...
However, Huayin didn't bother with it, not even shrugging, completely ignoring the King of E, leaving the burly man there to fuss.
Adam, standing in the stands, slapped his thigh and laughed: "Hahaha, the young lady really doesn't give that idiot boy any face."
Adam accompanied Miho to the match as her bodyguard as usual, but Miho's attention wasn't on the match; she was being chatted with by Atami, the president of Muji TV.
"I never expected to see President Atami here, what a coincidence~"
Miho didn't think much of it, just taking it as a chance encounter with a Kengan-kai member, and was quite happy. But the president of the Atami club was full of probing in his words, after all, he had come specifically for Miho.
"I didn't expect it either." Atami Hisashi was dressed very simply today; most people wouldn't guess that he was the president of Japan's largest television station. "I came to watch an American football game with my grandson. It turns out President Suo is here too. Perhaps you're very optimistic about the sports industry and want to make some investments?"
"Oh, actually I'm... uh." Since it wasn't appropriate to reveal Kanon's secret identity yet, Miho changed her tune midway: "I came to watch the Deimon team's game. I'm a loyal fan of theirs, ahahaha."
"So, Miss Kanon isn't with you?" Atami asked again about Kanon's whereabouts, and Miho could only laugh it off: "She...she has other things to do."
Miho's embarrassed expression was interpreted by President Atami as her hiding some ulterior motive—in a sense, that was correct, but President Atami clearly misunderstood: "It seems that Suoh Seiji really is going to increase his investment in the sports field... With Yohane not around, maybe even his close friend Motorbike Head Motorbike has been kept in the dark? Should I also make a move in the sports industry?"
Even as President Atami was outwitting the air, the match between Deimon and Hakushu continued. Unlike the rapid scoring at the beginning, the match unexpectedly entered a dull phase.
To protect Hiruma, Kanon kept a one-on-one watch on Eoh, which completely restricted Eoh, the terrifying destroyer. Not only could Eoh not cripple the quarterback like before, he couldn't even get close to Hiruma, which made him scream in anger but he was helpless.
On the other hand, this version of Eou was terrifying. Having accumulated enough rage, he had less and less time to push Kurita away. If Kanon left, he could very well kill Hiruma with a single blow! Therefore, Kanon was locked to Eou's side and dared not leave even for a moment, unable to participate in the team's tactics. When Deimon attacked, they could only rely on the efforts of the other players—which was not a problem, given Deimon's attacking power, breaking through Hakushu seemed to be no problem. But it was precisely at this point that they encountered resistance.
Reiji Sonoko wasn't the gentle young man he appeared to be, nor was he a weakling who relied entirely on Eo-oh on the field. Defensively, he primarily played safety, keeping a very steady eye on the ball's trajectory, which led to him repeatedly thwarting Sena Kobayakawa's breakthroughs. He didn't even need to tackle Sena; he simply snatched the ball from Sena's arms, a move that could be described as a "spiral bite," disrupting Deimon's attacks several times.
Then Demon switched to passing and dribbling, but Monta only managed a touchdown at the start of the game before being completely shut down by the slender, handsome young man, Kisaragi Hiromi, who had stood out in the Ojo game. This seemingly frail man possessed extraordinary wrist strength, repeatedly launching attacks only after Monta had received the ball, forcefully stealing it from him. The methods Monta had used against Fukyu and Tetsuma were now being used against him…
Nimen couldn't break through Baiqiu's defense, and Baiqiu's Ewang couldn't get past Huayin either. Time slowly advanced with a 7-0 lead until midfield.
"Damn it!" During the break, Ewang smashed the bench, forcing the white team players to sit on the ground to rest. However, no one dared to say anything. Ewang, who had been thoroughly beaten by Hanon's "judo," was seething with anger and looked terrifying.
E-Wang is experiencing firsthand how star players like A-Lu, A-Jin, and A-Han felt when they were locked down by Hanon – it was incredibly frustrating.
"In the second half, I will definitely..."
As for Deimon, Hiruma, who had been unscathed in the first half, sat quietly for a while before suddenly flashing his signature devilish smile. He grabbed Kanon's arm: "Leading by only one goal is too dangerous. I have a plan for the second half..."
Author's Note: Sorry, sorry, it's a little late~
Section 343, Chapter 338: I, Kanon, a Mobile Turret
"Whistle—" The referee blew his whistle, and the second half of the game began.
"Marco," the King of E called out Yuanzi Lingsi's nickname, "I'll keep entangled with that guy in the second half, and I'll definitely beat him to a pulp."
Correspondingly, Yuanzi also placed absolute trust in King E: "Leave everything else to us. Just keep causing trouble. I only trust your power."
Although Bai Qiu and his partner are fierce, they also have a side that gets people excited!
Eou Rikiya strode onto the field, his eyes fixed on Kanon, who was also walking onto the field. He no longer cared about Kurita; all that remained was that masked man, Lightspeed Xtreme 23. What kind of skill was contained within that seemingly short and thin body? For the first time in his life, Eou felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Every time he sent a force, it felt like hitting cotton, and then he would lose his balance and inexplicably fall to the ground.
The King of E followed Huayin all the way to the arena, but he didn't realize there was a problem until the chattering of the crowd reached him. Only then did he notice that the masked guy's position seemed a bit off.
That's not right. At this moment, Kanon didn't walk to the familiar offensive and defensive line, linebacker, or halfback position. Instead, he stood squarely in the center of the Deimon Bats' formation—the quarterback!
"That masked speedster 23 is actually playing quarterback for Deimon! Where's Hiruma? What position is he playing?" Realizing the problem, people started looking for Hiruma and found him standing on the sidelines, grinning mischievously and cheering on his teammates...
So Hiruzen's new position is... cough cough, cheerleader.
"Hiruma, is it really okay for you not to play..." Coach Goroku was a little worried: "Eyeshield Mask 23 is indeed our strongest ace. I have no doubt that he can play running back, safety, offensive and defensive line, and even receiving. However, quarterback needs to have superb ball control and accurate judgment of the situation, as well as be familiar with the team's various tactics. I don't think he can handle these."
The leech demon didn't care at all: "Hehehe, isn't this great? I think that King E is a complete novice when it comes to American football rules, let them be noobs fight each other~"
In fact, the current situation is exactly what Eoh wanted. After realizing that the masked man who had put so much pressure on him in the first half had become the opponent's quarterback, Eoh Rikiya's fighting spirit reached its highest point in his life!
“I don’t care if this is a provocation or just a normal tactical arrangement, but I really like you being the quarterback for Deimon, because it makes everything much simpler.” E-Wang pointed directly at Hanon: “All I have to do is defeat you.”
Hanon, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly laughed: "How should I respond? Should I say congratulations on finally realizing a fact that even a three-year-old can see?"
Emmm, ever since the elimination rounds, Kanon's pre-match trash talk has been really irritating...
Just then, the match began, and Ewang lunged directly at Hanon. With Hanon's taunt buff, his impact might rival that of some top-tier fighters.
