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

As the group of bikers talked, they walked up to the stands, sat down, and looked down. The players from both sides had already come to the sidelines to warm up.

"Wow!" someone in the biker gang exclaimed, "There are girls wearing team uniforms! American football can be mixed-gender?"

Kanon didn't enter the arena so quickly. The girl the audience saw wasn't her, but a long-haired girl wearing the Teikoku team uniform. She was very beautiful, had a gentle temperament, and wore a long braid.

"The quarterback of Teishoku... is actually a girl?" The Deimon team members, who were not far away, also noticed this and were deeply shocked. Although the rules of high school American football do not restrict mixed teams, no one expected that there would actually be a female player on the field in such an intense sport, especially a super team like Teishoku that has dominated the field for nearly 20 years.

"No, no, she's so cute, I just can't bring myself to do it..." Koji Kuroki and Shozo Toba started muttering to each other, "Tenkuro is so cunning, he's using a woman as a shield!"

Actually, these two players, who came from delinquent backgrounds, didn't have any lewd thoughts. It's just that female players are such a sensitive presence in intense competitions. In fact, even Kurita and Kosuke felt a little hesitant.

At this point, it was only natural that Hiru Mayou, the master of the Deidara sect, had to step in to put order: "Hehehe, Koizumi Karin... you're really amazing. You can't tell he's a man at all."

"W-what?" The Mud Gate members were taken aback.

Hiruma then explained, "Teikoku's quarterback is called Koizumi Karin, but his full name is Koizumi Karinrou. He's a man with a penis, but he's just a bit effeminate. This is information that Sena and Monta obtained a few days ago when they went to Kansai for research, right?"

So everyone's eyes turned to Sena and Monta, but Monta was focused on Teishoku's Honjo Taka, his mind filled with the ambition to win, and he paid no attention to the gossip about his own team. So all the pressure fell on Sena.

"No, Karin, she..." Feeling flustered under everyone's gaze, Sena, the honest girl, couldn't withstand the pressure and was about to tell the truth when she saw Hiruzen raise a machine gun behind the crowd... So Sena immediately changed her words: "Karin is indeed a man."

"Soga!" The killing intent returned to the Mud Gate's defensive line: "Since he's a man, we can defeat him without mercy!" "Yes, yes, kill without mercy!" "Keep it up!"

After finally calming everyone down, Hiruma glanced at the time displayed on the scoreboard: "Teigumo has female players, and so does Deimon! The match is about to start, shouldn't that brat be here by now?"

Hanon did indeed slowly walk out of the player tunnel; it only took her a little while to change into her team uniform.

There were no major twists or surprises, but when "Eyespeed Masked Man 23" appeared on the field, everyone on the Deimon team couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. For months, this mysterious player had become deeply ingrained in the team, demonstrating absolute dominance and shocking the entire Japanese American football world. With him on the field, Deimon was their absolute strength, their advantage, and their guarantee of victory.

Even Hiruma felt this sense of security from being protected. After realizing that he had subconsciously relaxed because of Kanon's arrival, the devilish boy couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle wryly: "Hehehe, this brat is already such a reliable existence!"

Not only did the Deimon fans pay attention to Kanon, but the Teigumo fans, the commentators and guests in the commentary booth, the cameramen and reporters on the sidelines, and even the audience in the stands and the scouts of the university teams all focused their attention on Kanon. There was no way around it; after all, this mysterious "Lightning Mask 23" was the Kanto MVP, and his performance was ridiculously good.

Even when Deimon's morale was high, Teishoku was filled with fighting spirit because of Kanon's arrival.

"Both sides, enter the field." The referee blew the whistle, and the match was about to begin.

Author's Note: Yo, yo, check it out—Kanon is the Kanto MVP, she's performing exceptionally well, invincible in matches, aiming for first place in the Christmas Bowl, yo, yo…

The pneumonia outbreak is still quite serious these days, so everyone should continue to stay home and avoid going out unnecessarily. Today I went back to Beijing and did some serious shopping, stocking up on a lot of supplies. Unfortunately, I deliberately emptied my cupboards and refrigerator before the Spring Festival holiday, so now I have so many things to buy, and I'm still quite short…

Chapter 360, Section 366: Initial Offense and Defense, Mutual Charges

Hiruma is always very lucky in the coin toss, and almost every time Deimon gets the first attack, which is in line with the general impression of Deimon as a super offensive team.

Even against Teishi Black, the same applies. If Deimon attacks first, then according to the rules of American football, Teishi Black will kick the ball to Deimon first.

After the long kick, the Imperial Black defenders swarmed towards the goal, their speed startling everyone.

"Wow, the speed at which these people are sprinting..." Suzune, who was cheering on the bench, grabbed Mamoru Anezaki's arm: "So fast!"

Ms. Mamoru actually plays the role of the mentor of Deimon, and she carefully studies the opposing team's information before each match. Therefore, she was not surprised by the performance of the Teiguro players: "Indeed, all of Teiguro's first team's 40-yard dash times are under five seconds, which is unique in Japan."

An average person sprints 40 yards in over five seconds. A high school student who can run it in under 4.8 seconds is considered a top runner in any sports club. Although she was prepared for the Teisha Black players' abilities, seeing this uniquely Teisha Black's rapid, collective sprint still made Mamoru Anezaki break out in a cold sweat: "Go for it, everyone! Don't be afraid!"

"Waaaaah, it's so scary!" However, the group from Nimen immediately showed extremely frightened expressions... It was a bit too exaggerated.

The attackers, including Sena, Monta, Yukimitsu, and Taki Natsuhiko, all wore expressions of utter despair. Ignoring Teiguro, they turned and ran, gathering around Hiruma.

The Imperial Black players were taken aback at first, but then they realized what was going on: "Oh, this is—the Killer Bee Tactics!"

"Kill—without—pardon!" After a loud shout, all the Deidara members who could run, including Hiruzen, scattered and ran towards Teishoku, each assuming a ball-handling posture to confuse Teishoku's defense.

This tactic is foolproof, but not everyone has the reaction speed of the Vajra Agama, which is the limit of human potential. In a team of eleven, someone will always be distracted, thus exposing a gap in the defense.

"Demon has many options. Is it the all-around ace, Lightspeed Masked Man 23? Or the lightning-fast runner, Kobayakawa Sena? Commander Hiruma? Or those unassuming surprise players? Hahaha, interesting, interesting." The captain of Teishoku is a player named Taira Goji, nicknamed "Hercules." He dares to use Hercules as a nickname, and he is also very magnanimous. He was not intimidated by Demon's tactics at all.

"In the end, it still comes down to manpower. The Mud Gate team will never be able to break through our defenses!"

This statement was not unfounded; the Imperial Black quickly figured out who was attacking with the ball—Ishimaru.

Ishimaru is the captain of Deimon High School's track and field team. From the beginning, he was a "mercenary" who was drafted to help out. His understanding of American football is even worse than Kanon's. His biggest characteristic is that he has no characteristics. He is very low-key and inconspicuous, and almost no one notices him...

Thanks to this characteristic, Ishimaru made it take the Teiguro team an extra second to realize that he was the ball handler, and by then Teiguro had already left half of the team behind him.

While Ishimaru's biggest characteristic is his lack of distinctive features, if you really look into it, as the captain of the track and field team, his 40-yard sprint time is also under five seconds!

Moreover, there was the special training Kaiya Riku had given him over the past week.

Relying on the running techniques taught by Riku, Ishimaru first dribbled past one player, and then, with the help of the "Haha Three Brothers" and Kosuke's blocking, he bypassed several Teigumo players. Just when he was about to leave everyone else in the dust, he finally ran into Teigumo's most terrifying opponent - Yamato Takeshi, wearing number 21, also known as "Lightning Mask 21", the former ace player of Notre Dame High School in the United States.

Then Ishimaru was indeed stopped, without even struggling or dodging. When Yamato grabbed Ishimaru and blocked his way, people realized that even if Ishimaru hadn't been captured, he had already run out of bounds.

Hiruzen twitched his lips: "Tch, these Teikoku guys, ever since they found Ishimaru with the ball, they've been driving him towards the sideline."

The Alexander team, as the undisputed champions of high school American football, are indeed not to be underestimated.

However, everyone knew from the beginning that the Imperial Black team was difficult to deal with, so complaining now would be too dramatic. The Deimon players didn't take the blocked Ishimaru attack seriously and immediately launched the next round of attacks.

Hiruma threw the ball high and far, clearly looking for Taro Raimon to catch it—Raimon wanted to challenge Honjo Taka, the son of the baseball national player Honjo-san, in this game, and Hiruma, being considerate, created this opportunity right from the start.

"Alright, catch the ball MAX!" Having already engaged in a brawl like those in a shonen manga, Monta's mindset was now perfectly adjusted. He was giving it his all, quickly pinpointing the landing point of Hiruma's pass and shaking off everyone else, waiting to catch the ball successfully.

"Wow, amazing! Is that a point already?" Yamato from the Imperial Black team paused for a moment, then smiled: "Then this touchdown is ours, Imperial Black!"

Hmm? Imperial Black?

Just as the ball was about to fall, Honjo Taka jumped up from a great distance.

Honjo Taka's jumps are fast, long, and extremely high. What's even more terrifying is his incredibly stable body control, as if he's walking in the air... This kind of jumping ability is probably not something every NBA player possesses.

Amidst the incredulous gazes of Monta and everyone else, Honjo Taka easily intercepted Hiruma's pass and then tossed the ball directly to Yamato Takeshi—the real Eyespeed Masked Man 21 had begun his run.

Yamato is fast, but not as fast as Sena and Susumu. He is strong, but not to the level of Kurita and Gaou. However... the kinetic energy generated by the combination of speed and strength is enormous.

Yamato's aggressive running style was undeniably domineering. Along the way, from Kurita to the "Haha Trio" and then to Hiruma and Sena, they were either overtaken by his speed or pushed and lost their balance, falling down. They could only watch helplessly as Yamato approached the scoring zone.

The last line of defense for the Deimon is naturally Hanon.

"Lightspeed Masked Man 23!" Yamato Takeshi's eyes lit up: "Although I really want to compete with Sena to see who is the real Lightspeed Masked Man 21, I would rather compete with you, the perfect player! Come on, let's see if you can stop my Emperor Charge!"

After the mysterious player "Lightspeed Masked Man 23" appeared, he first showed his talent in the Tokyo tournament, and then completely rose to prominence in the three matches in the Kanto region, displaying outstanding performance. This also caught the attention of Teishoku Academy. Since they always demanded of themselves to be the "strongest," Yamato Takeshi certainly couldn't avoid confronting this person.

Yamato Takeshi's so-called "Emperor's Charge" refers to his unparalleled balance, allowing him to charge forward with top-tier strength and speed, even while carrying two or three people! Therefore, although he knew that "Lightspeed Masked Man 23" could defeat Gaohiro Rikiya, Yamato Takeshi still wanted to give it a try…

Well, it's okay to give it a try, but the result was not as expected. One second Yamato encountered Kanon, and the next second he saw a gloomy sky.

"What... happened to me? Oh, I fell down?"

After falling and getting completely disoriented, it took Yamato a while to regain consciousness. Meanwhile, Kanon had already taken the ball and started running the game, leaving behind only a cold remark.

"Get out of my way, I don't have time to deal with you."

Author's Note: Phew, it's quite late today. I'll try to gradually get back to an update schedule in the next couple of days. After this battle, we'll move on to the Baki series of events.

Section 367, Chapter 361: I can't keep up the act anymore.

The battle for the ball was intense from the start. The Teiguro team advanced to the front of the Deimon's scoring zone thanks to Honjo Taka's steal and Yamato's aggressive runs. Then Yamato was knocked down by "Eyeshield Masked Man 23" and the ball was retrieved. Since there was no dead ball, Deimon's runs resumed.

"Yamato?" The Teishoku players had never seen their ace fall to the ground before, and they were momentarily stunned. Fortunately, Kanon was rushing over from the Deimon scoring zone, giving the Teishoku team plenty of time to prepare to intercept. Captain Hercules shouted, "Stop him! Stop him! Two people per group, no soloing!"

Meanwhile, Deimon also made arrangements. Hiruma nudged Sena: "You brat, go and coordinate with him, running in alternating formations. Hehehe, we're also in pairs~"

So Sena and Kanon started running back and forth. In the entire high school American football world, the only ones who could keep up with Kanon's speed were probably Sena from Deimon and Jin from Oujou.

"Damn, they're so fast..." Watching the two lightning-fast runners weave in and out of each other, the Imperial Black team's interceptors felt their scalps tingle. One of these opponents would be difficult to deal with, let alone two of them together, and they would occasionally cross paths along the way. It was hard to say who would end up with the ball.

This tactic also has a name on the field: "the Holy Cross".

"Deimon is still the same as ever, with one ingenious trick after another. The two masked heroes using the Holy Cross, wow, that attack power is truly amazing." Most of the players who had played against Deimon in the stands sat together and started discussing after seeing Hiruma's arrangement.

Only Kidd from the Western Conference shook his head: "Demon doesn't need such tricks when facing the weaker Sunset Warriors. So-called tricks are essentially helpless measures. The performance of Emperor Black in the first round lived up to its reputation. Demon can only rely on the speed of Lightspeed Masked Man 23 and Kobayakawa Sena now."

Kidd's words made a lot of sense, and all the players agreed. Daisuke Atami of the Sunset Warriors was among them, but he didn't participate in the discussion. An older man next to him leaned over and asked, "Daisuke, was your team really that weak before?"

“Uh…” Daisuke Atami scratched his head. For some reason, his grandfather had recently become fond of American football, no, he had become fond of all sports. Not only did he watch a few American football games with him, but the family also broadcast sports events from all over the world every day. When his parents discussed it, they also mentioned that the family had begun to make moves in the sports industry, acquiring and investing in various sports media companies, making a very big splash.

Faced with his grandfather's question, Daisuke Atami could only honestly answer, "Yes, our team is very weak, so we don't need Deemon to use any special tactics..." He looked at the field, "But unconventional tactics often mean a lack of practice. Can Deemon make good use of the Sacred Cross tactic?"

The answer is that it wasn't used well. Deimon hadn't practiced this tactic in particular, and the coordination between Kanon and Sena had never been good. Sena's hasty runs to intersect with Kanon were only barely effective, serving to confuse the Teishi Black players to some extent. In reality, if they were to actually start passing the ball, Sena would be the first one who couldn't figure out where the ball was going.

However, this time the movement didn't require passing at all.

Kanon charged forward with the ball, her speed increasing rapidly, even Sena was struggling to keep up, and she seemed poised to break the 4.2-second barrier! At the same time, Kanon completely ignored the Teishi Black players who rushed forward to block her, and charged straight into the crowd. In an instant, waves crashed, and Teishi Black players fell one after another. Even Deimon's teammates Kosumi and Taki Natsuhiko, who accidentally touched Kanon's body, were thrown away.

"Hahaha, that's awesome!" Even after falling to the ground, Taki Natsuhiko maintained his carefree and optimistic demeanor, even giving a thumbs-up to Kanon's back. Sumi, who was also on the ground, shouted, "Great job!"

Instead, Kurita came over to help the two up, watching with concern as Kanon ran off: "I feel like... Lightspeed Mask 23's behavior is a bit off, he seems unusually enthusiastic?"

Hanon's fighting spirit was indeed particularly high today. After all, her self-reflection the night before made her realize her slackness. Therefore, she was full of energy from the start of today's match. Although it wasn't the kind of crazy running around chasing the ball like she was on steroids, Hanon had nothing left to hold back within the scope of her responsibilities.

Let it explode; we can't keep up the low profile any longer.

"what……"

Hanon's run was so impressive that even the referee was stunned until Hiruma urged him on from the sidelines, at which point he snapped out of his daze and blew the whistle: "Toot—Team Deimon has successfully scored a touchdown."

Hanon sprinted all the way, completing the feat of breaking into the opponent's scoring zone to score a touchdown. While this is rare in American football, it's not unheard of. What's even more impressive is that Hanon was running with three Tei-Kuro players attached to her at the end, yet she hardly slowed down at all. The petite girl's body was basically covered by the tall American football players, making it look from a distance as if the three boys were floating in mid-air, creating an indescribably eerie scene.

After blowing the whistle, the referee wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "I've been an American football referee for over ten years, and this is the first time I've ever seen such a terrifying player."

If even a seasoned referee reacts like this, one can only imagine how impressed the spectators in the stands are: "This...this is just too good!"

But after regaining their senses, people didn't feel fear; instead, the entire venue erupted in cheers and applause.
