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

In the end, the two sides became the spokespeople for the new generation of online media and the old generation of television media, and a fierce conflict broke out for dignity and interests. The Kengan match was naturally indispensable. Both sides hired many fighters, and many martial artists displayed their unique skills, staging countless epic and moving duels... And all of this stemmed from a sentence that Kanon casually said for the sake of a false persona.

Kanon had no idea about such things! That was a fleeting thought; back on the podium, Kanon immediately turned to the "real business," raising the Kanto Tournament MVP trophy high and declaring, "This is not the end. Deimon will carry the dignity and hope of the Kanto teams, defeat Teiguro Academy at the Christmas Bowl, and dominate the nation!"

Author's Note: Actually, theoretically, Kanon was also involved in that "Panda Fight" storyline. Although it's highly unlikely that the battle between Muji TV and Penasonic will happen, in the very end, Penasonic might ask Kanon to join the fight? I'm sure President Atami's expression will be quite subtle then...

Chapter 341, Section 346: Kanon, the Busy Christmas Person, Pre-order!

On the night the Kanto Tournament ended, in a rather upscale hotel in Tokyo, the president of the American Football Association met his old friend, Kousei, again.

"Have you finished your business?"

Xiang Sheng replied, "It's not that easy. I've said it before, I need to find someone who is very important and very powerful... and also someone of good character."

It seems that choosing the next generation of Metsudo's Fang won't be so easy... Aioi can't say too much to outsiders, so he changed the subject and asked Kanon: "I heard that the MVP of the Kanto Tournament was awarded to Lightspeed Mask 23?"

“That’s right!” The chairman became interested when this was mentioned: “That mysterious kid was still saying on the podium that he would defeat Teiguro Academy! This is a topic that no Kanto player has ever mentioned before. Sigh, is it just out of modesty that others don’t mention it? Or has the Kanto American football world already deified Teiguro, and no one dares to challenge the king anymore? Heh, so I think this junior might bring great changes to the American football world.”

"Don't even think about it," Xiang Sheng suddenly blurted out.

"Oh, you're that confident in Imperial Black?" The chairman raised an eyebrow. "But there's nothing we can do about it. After all, sixteen years ago you were the one who created Imperial Black's legend of dominating high school American football..."

Aioi is a figure on Mount Rushmore in the world of American football in Japan. Now 33 years old, he was a vibrant high school student 16 years ago, leading Teiguro Academy to national dominance and beginning their reign as American football champions. Given this connection, Aioi naturally has deep feelings for Teiguro Academy. However, upon hearing the chairman's teasing, he waved his hand dismissively: "No, with that person around, it's understandable that Teiguro lost. I'm just saying that Lightspeed Mask 23 won't bring any changes to the Japanese American football scene. That person has a special identity and won't stay here for long."

"Hmm? You...know him?"

"I know her, but I can't say it or I can't explain it." Aisei looked out the window at the bustling Tokyo under the neon lights, with cars and people coming and going. As the new king of the Kengan Association and the heir of the Takakaze family, Kanon was someone who could shake Japan with a stomp of his foot, in Aisei's opinion. He wondered where such a person was and what kind of activities he was doing now.

At this moment, Hanon is enjoying this beautiful time~

Leaving Miho's lips, the kiss still leaving a few faint, transparent threads, Kanon and Miho lay down together on the yacht, looking up at the stars.

The stars were bright, the moon was clear, and Tokyo Bay, illuminated by the stars and moon, should have been tranquil and serene. But on another large cruise ship not far away, Deimon Bats were holding a celebration party for their goal of reaching the Christmas Bowl. The players and their parents had been invited aboard, fireworks were shooting high into the sky, colorful lights were spinning, and the laughter of the crowd echoed through the night, filling the bay with a joyful atmosphere.

"Kanon, you really want to celebrate with them, don't you?" Miho asked softly, her big eyes sparkling.

"Me? No way!" Hanon has indeed been showing signs of becoming more tsundere lately, at least she's really stubborn: "It's just that I paid for their party but didn't get to enjoy it myself, so I feel a bit cheated."

Originally, Hiruma wanted to use threats to force Principal Deimon to pay a price after the Deimon team made it to the Christmas Bowl, since it was also to bring glory to the school! However, Kanon stopped Hiruma and told him to be a decent human being and give the principal a way out. Kanon would take responsibility for this inhumane act.

The expenses for this party were all reimbursed from Kanon's allowance, and not by much. Both the large cruise ship used by everyone and the small yacht for Kanon and Miho to enjoy their time together were borrowed from Amiyo Suisan through connections. Amiyo was actually an affiliate of Suoh Steel, and having received a favor from Kanon during the final match, they naturally agreed to lend out the boat.

As for the fireworks and firecrackers used at the party, they were all from Hiruma's "arsenal," which he used for public purposes while he was in a good mood. This guy even used his silver tongue to persuade Eou, Otawara, and the Suns' forward Banba to work as temporary laborers. With Coach Mizoroku and Mamoru and Suzune's arrangements, the biggest expense of the celebration party was actually only food and drinks.

“Those guys are all athletes, they can eat a lot!” Hana said indignantly, seemingly a little sorry for her little money: “Do you remember when you first met them? That group of people almost ate a self-service barbecue restaurant out of business! I heard that barbecue restaurant couldn’t keep going and was quickly acquired by someone else.”

"It's a bit of a shame." Miho also remembered that Kanon had just become her fighter back then: "That shop has pretty good food."

Hanon, however, comforted Miho, saying, "Don't worry, you can still eat it if you want, because the person who acquired them is Hibiki Sakura's older brother from the gym! I heard they kept the original chef and manager, so the taste hasn't changed much."

"I see... Speaking of which..." Miho suddenly hugged Kanon: "Hey, hey, Kanon, what are your plans for Christmas?"

“That day was the final match of the Christmas Bowl!” Hanon Teng reached out and patted Mihono’s little head. “As for after the match, I have to go home. My uncle has already told me that the whole family must spend Christmas together this year.”

"Oh... how about we spend the night together the night before?" Miho was a kind and understanding girl, and immediately started thinking about Christmas Eve.

Kanon still scratched her head: "Um, actually, some other friends have also organized events." She counted on her fingers: "Kiwangzan said the Sumo Association has a Christmas event and asked if I wanted to participate; Uncle Guanlin also sent a message saying that there's a Christmas exhibition match at Super Japanese Wrestling and invited me to watch it backstage; Mr. Shirogane's gym has a Christmas party, and Akemi, Hibiki, Gina, Ayaka, and Ms. Satomi all sent me messages, I definitely can't refuse..."

Kanon didn't even mention some other activities, such as the training that the Deimon side would organize before the final battle, which might continue until Christmas Eve; a mysterious person sent Kanon an anonymous letter, agreeing to a duel in a certain place; the red belt judo grandma from the Mifune family, who recently learned to use a smartphone, sent Kanon a message inviting her to come over to play often; and a teammate of Kanon's occasional online shooting game, Bloodstained Butterfly, said they would fight until dawn on Christmas Eve; even Adam asked if Kanon was interested in going back to America with him to experience the Christmas atmosphere.

From this perspective, Kanon's short year in the New World was indeed incredibly fulfilling!

Miho's eyes seemed to be misty: "Kanon, you're so amazing, you must be really busy... Um, the Kengan Association is also organizing Christmas events, and there's also a Christmas party inside Suoh Seigetsu. I have things to do too, so it seems we'll have to split up."

"Well..." Hanon leaned closer and giggled, "I'll be very busy on Christmas Eve, so I probably won't have any free time. But why don't you just come to Takakaze's house to celebrate Christmas Eve?"

"Ah, right, there's this option too!" Miho slapped her thigh, then realized she was such a silly girl, completely fooled by Kanon. She was both laughing and crying at the same time, and all she could do was punch Kanon's chest with her little fists.

Author's Note: Pre-ordered to be a busy Christmas man...

Section 347, Chapter 342: Kanon's New Teacher

With so many bonds between them, Kanon's Christmas is sure to be wonderful, and the New Year will likely be just as fulfilling. But things must be done one step at a time. There's still a week until Christmas, and Kanon still has to go to school. Meanwhile, the Deimon team's special training has begun.

Kanon isn't the only one with deep bonds. Along the way, Deimon has overcome many strong teams and established connections with many players. Therefore, Hiruma once again displayed his ultimate debating skills, bringing together a group of all-star players to give Deimon one-on-one special training. For example, there's the light-speed chase between Susumu Seijuro and Sena Kobayakawa, and the super-powerful collision between Ryokan Kurita and Rikiya Gaoh. Each position has a player of equal skill or similar style to match. I believe that the Christmas Bowl a week later will definitely teach the Kansai Imperial Black a lesson.

"Thank you, thank you everyone." Sena and the others were very grateful to the celebrity sparring partners.

"Don't say that. Actually, defeating the Imperial Black is the hope of all Kanto football players!" Kakei Shun said earnestly.

However, Mizumachi quickly stepped in to debunk the argument: "Although it sounds nice, we're actually all pretty free before the start of next season, so it's nice to have some excitement."

...Ahem, anyway, this is a good thing!

Kanon also participated in the special training as "Eyeshield Mask 23," and was paired with Kid.

"Oh dear, I can't accept this..." Hanon scratched her head. Even though she usually maintained a silent style after changing her clothes, she couldn't help but thank him. Kid had been beaten by E-wang and his bones were broken. He hadn't fully recovered yet, and he was "teaching" Hanon with one hand wrapped in bandages.

Kidd just smiled and said, "Not at all. Anyway, I don't need to do any strenuous exercise. I'm just talking about tactics. I'm already very honored to be the MVP's mentor."

Kidd doesn't really need strenuous exercise, because Kanon's tutoring program is "tactical theory".

As the MVP of the Kanto region, Kanon's power, speed, and one-on-one skills in the game were breathtaking. Even those who didn't know Kanon's fundamentals as well as Hiruma knew that "Eyeshield Mask 23" was an absolutely reliable player, a strong point against anyone. In contrast, Kanon's poor tactical awareness when temporarily filling in as quarterback in the game against Hakushu was simply unbearable to watch. In this situation, having the top-tier quarterback Kidd explain the tactical application would have been the best way to maximize Kanon's strength.

"When using shotgun tactics, teammates are all running forward, moving along their own routes. At this time, you first need to understand your teammates' characteristics, such as speed, receiving habits, and accuracy of their routes. At the same time, you also need to observe the opponent's movements and choose the weakest point to break through..."

Compared to Hiruma Yoichi, Kidd is more open-minded, patient, and easygoing. He gets along particularly well with Kanon. The two hit it off when they were opponents, and they were even more in sync when they practiced together as teammates. After a few days, Kanon felt that her understanding of American football had improved by two or three levels! At least now, if she were to play quarterback again, she could guarantee the basic dispatching of the team.

"A good teacher is really important..." Hanon exclaimed sincerely, "I have a great teacher in martial arts, and I never expected to find one in American football too. Thank you, Kidd-bro~"

“No problem, no problem.” Kidd shrugged. “Unfortunately, the others didn’t have it as easy as we did.”

In fact, pairs like Sena and Ajin, Kurita and Gaoh are all evenly matched opponents who have faced each other before. They have excellent chemistry and their practice is just as effective as that of Kanon and Kid. Other pairs, such as Otawara and Kosumi, Kakei Shun and Jumonji, and Tetsuma and Yukimitsu, don't have such deep bonds, but they play similar positions and have similar functions on the court, so practicing with them is also fine.

The only group that really had a problem was the receiving drills between Taro Raimon and Ikkyu Hosokawa.

A few days ago, after the celebration party, Monta, Sena, and Suzune went to Teishoku to scout their opponents. It seems that they were stimulated there, because after returning, Monta was always depressed and couldn't get back into form. He was also not very enthusiastic during practice, which made Ikkyu so angry that he hit him on the head! However, even so, Monta just apologized and ran away, basically losing all fighting spirit.

The next day, Sena and Monta came to school with bruises and bandages on their faces, clearly indicating they had been fighting. As for why we didn't suspect someone else was responsible... well, these two little kids, Sena and Monta, probably couldn't have inflicted such evenly matched injuries except on each other.

Kidd naturally saw the situation and sighed, "Raimon Taro is a crucial part of Deimon's offense, but now that he's in trouble, your Christmas Bowl journey has suddenly become much more difficult."

"That's great... that's what passion is all about." Clearly, Kanon didn't think so.

"Hmm?" Kidd raised an eyebrow. No wonder Hiruma called him "Stinky Caterpillar Eyebrows," as they did look somewhat alike. "Aren't you worried about your teammates' condition? Or are you confident that you can defeat the entire Teiku Black team on your own?"

Hanon shook her head: "No, American football is a team sport, and I've already experienced that very deeply... As for Monta's situation, I think it's just a young person's occasional moment of confusion~ Isn't that how it is in shonen manga?"

To be honest, a major reason Kanon joined Deimon was to experience the feeling of youthful passion and collective honor. However, for Kanon, whose mental age had long surpassed that of a student, this kind of rooftop brawl, like something out of a hot-blooded manga, was simply impossible... Well, there are probably very few people in the world who could have a rooftop brawl with Kanon these days. So, being able to witness Sena and Monta's "friendship" firsthand actually made Kanon a little happy.

"I really don't understand you." Kidd smiled wryly. "Alright, let's continue explaining the new tactics. Today, let's talk about the use of the 'Mother Mary' pass by quarterback..."

Another day passed, and sure enough, Sena and Monta reconciled. The reason for Monta's previous slump was now known: the Teiku Black's catcher, Honjo Taka, was the son of his idol, baseball national player Honjo, and hailed as Japan's strongest and most talented catcher. This had instantly shattered Monta's hopes. As for how Sena encouraged Monta, it was nothing short of legendary. He spent a single day visiting every team they had ever faced, obtaining game gloves from their catchers to encourage Monta. While past idols were important, the expectations placed upon him along the way were even greater!

Seeing Monta, who was full of energy during today's practice and practically devoured Ikkyu, Kanon and Kid exchanged a smile.

"You were absolutely right, Lightspeed Mask 23, you're amazing!"

"Not at all," Hana said modestly. "I just stumbled upon it by accident."

It was getting late, and everyone dispersed after practice. Kanon changed her clothes and was about to take a car home, but on the way, she suddenly had a whim and saw a brightly lit arcade...

Author's Note: The next chapter will still be a slice-of-life story. Actually, there are quite a few things to explain before the Christmas bowl.

Section 348, Chapter 343: The Fitness Girl in the Arcade

Hanon got out of the car and walked into the arcade.

"Ah—I feel like I've been living a life full of struggles lately, and I haven't had a chance to enjoy the leisurely life of a rich kid." Stretching her body, Hanon suddenly felt her interest in games resurface. Since being transported to the new world, she's been either fighting or exercising, and hasn't had much time to play games. Come to think of it, it seems like the last time she really enjoyed playing video games was on the night of the draw before the main tournament of the Kaname Island Domination Tournament.

Because she's a man at heart, Kanon clearly doesn't like claw machines, and as someone who transmigrated from China, she doesn't understand the Japanese obsession with pachinko. She used to enjoy basketball shooting games, but now that she can control her muscles to hit every shot, they're not very interesting anymore. Racing games? Emmm, Kanon's family makes motorcycles; obstacle course games? Kanon would like to play, but all the seats are taken; as for fighting games… she's almost become like the game character herself, so Kanon isn't very interested.

Finally, Kanon walked to a corner of the arcade, where the shooting game area was located, and there weren't too many players there.

"Playing with guns... that's good, I haven't had much contact with them since I transmigrated." Firearms were indeed a field that Hanon had never understood in both of her lives combined, and it still held a lot of novelty for her. As soon as she put in the coin and raised the gun, someone stood up in the 2P seat next to her.

Hana glanced at it, then exclaimed in surprise, "Ah! It's you!"

Do we know each other?

The person who arrived was Kidd. Could this be the tacit understanding between master and apprentice developed from several days of teaching and practicing together...?

"Um... aren't you the son of the Mushakoji family? You've won medals in junior shooting competitions before?" Kanon was quick-witted and immediately gave a plausible explanation. After getting to know Kidd over the past few days, she had heard him tell some stories about himself, including that his father was a three-time Olympic shooting gold medalist and the GOAT in Japanese shooting history. Kidd actually practiced shooting as a child, but the pressure was too great, and he wanted to play with Iron Horse, so he switched to American football.

At this moment, Hanon was not wearing an American football team uniform, and Kidd did not have the ability to recognize people by the distribution of human muscles like Ah Jin. He could not connect the smiling girl in front of him with the Kanto MVP "Lightspeed Masked Man 23" and only thought of her as a shooting enthusiast.

"I haven't played shooting games in a long time, so don't ask me for an autograph."

...Kidd can rest assured about that!

After getting away with it, Kanon didn't say much and started playing games with Kid. After one round of shooting, Kanon gloriously scored over 6,000 points, a pretty good score. As for Kid, he was even more impressive, looking completely nonchalant, yet easily scoring over 9,000 points. With their combined efforts, the game was quickly completed.

"You're really amazing," Hanon praised. She watched as Kid appeared at the top of the all-time leaderboard, only to have him casually fill in a completely unrelated name to get by, seemingly unconcerned about the result. Was this the confidence of a king's bloodline...?

Kidd, being a modest person, said, "You're good too. You got better and better in the second half. Maybe you're a very talented shooter."

After exchanging compliments, the two decided to start another game. However, before they could even insert coins, they saw a change in the game history leaderboard on the screen. Kidd's ranking had been pushed down, and a new name had appeared at the top of the list.

“Ayakappe… Ayakappe, Ayakappe is also fragrant?” Hanon was stunned. Could it be such a coincidence?
