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

"Of all the martial arts, this is the art of darts~ Hehe~" Xiang Chao was overjoyed. She came to the target practice for the reward of "defeating the dummies and being able to eat as many dumplings as she wanted for free".

Because Hibiki's performance was so amazing, no one noticed that Kanon was also hitting every dart – just like when she plays basketball, her shooting accuracy is unreasonable. With precise muscle control, Kanon is undoubtedly the best in the world when it comes to any shooting sport.

No, actually, some people have noticed it too...

With a "bang!" the smoke cleared, and a beautiful Western woman dressed in ninja attire appeared before the strolling crowd: "Hello everyone, would you also like to take on the ninja training challenge?"

"Ninja training? What's that?" The fitness girls turned their gaze to the platform not far away: "Oh, it's rock climbing!"

Zhu Mei was very interested and led everyone over to play, while Hanon deliberately lagged behind, standing shoulder to shoulder with the ninja girl who was greeting them: "Isn't this Shino... what are you doing here?"

Do you remember the adventures Kanon and Shindo Kotaro from Tsurumine Academy? The person here now is Shino Taka, the daughter of the principal of the American Ninja Academy, who was taken hostage by Kanon.

"Did you come here because of me?" Hana frowned, afraid that her trip would be ruined. "Could there be some kind of conspiracy?"

"Uh, there's no conspiracy." Shino scratched his head: "This film village is a collaborative project between the Ninja Academy and the local forces here. It's the Japanese branch of the Ninja Academy that we rebuilt... To be honest, I didn't expect you to appear in Kyoto. I only came out to say hello because we're acquaintances."

Section 713, Chapter 705: A life without a nemesis is incomplete.

So-called rock climbing training doesn't actually involve building a small mountain for people to climb. Internationally, the common practice is to erect a tall wall with artificial rocks and protruding holds for people to use for leverage. This sport has become increasingly popular in recent years. It tests muscle coordination, provides a full-body workout, and is an excellent form of exercise.

After confirming that Shino's appearance was indeed an accident, Kanon lowered her guard and stood beside her, watching the fitness girls from the Imperial Sakura Climbing Club climb and play. Shino even explained the key points of rock climbing to Kanon: "When rock climbing, you must first stabilize your feet, use your toes to grip the rock hold before extending your arms. If your arm span is not enough to touch the next rock hold, slowly adjust your leg position to find a new balance... So rock climbing training is a great test of adaptability and muscle endurance."

"Eee-yah-yah-yah—" Just as Shino finished speaking, Hibiki Sakura fell directly off the rock wall. Fortunately, there was a soft and thick cushion underneath to catch her, so there was no need to worry about her getting hurt.

“See, strength alone isn’t enough.” Hibiki’s poor performance made Shino laugh: “That little girl threw darts with tremendous force just now! It’s a pity her coordination is too weak.”

Kanon shook her head helplessly: "No, Hibiki is just too heavy, which increases the difficulty..."

"Kanon, your new companions' skill levels are quite uneven." Shino pointed at Akemi, who was almost at the top of the rock wall: "A twenty-meter-high rock wall, and she's already climbing up it so quickly. This isn't a level that can be reached with just a little training. Could she be a master like Shindo Kotaro?"

"Oh, no, that's not true at all. Zhu Mei is just a bit athletic and loves muscle training. At most, she's learned a little bit of fancy judo and karate." Hua Yin knew Zhu Mei's background perfectly well. After spending so much time together, even Guo Haihuang couldn't possibly hide it from Hua Yin!

"Souryuin Akemi is all show and no substance... You guys really dare to say that." Someone walked past Kanon and Shino with a nimble and fleeting figure. Before Kanon and Shino could react, the person had already reached the edge of the rock wall and, with a "whoosh," climbed up.

"Heh..." All that could be seen was a high school girl in a sailor uniform with long, gray hair, but her face was obscured. The newcomer clung to the rock face, pushed off with her legs, and surged upwards, quickly climbing over most of the rock face and closing in on Zhu Mei!

"Wow, so fast! Even faster than Akemi!" Ayaka, Gina, and Hibiki, who had already descended the rock face, exclaimed in surprise. Even Shino praised her, "That's amazing! What school uniform is that? I've never seen anything like it before. This girl is a pro!"

"I don't know if she's a master or not." Only Hana shook her head: "But her balance is already compromised..."

"Eee-yah-yah-yah—" Sure enough, just as the new girl was about to catch up with Zhu Mei, her arm span was not long enough to touch the new rock spot, so she took a very aggressive action, resulting in her losing her balance and freezing in place. After persisting for a while, her body finally went weak and she fell off the rock wall.

Sigh, what an impressive yet awkward entrance.

After the girl landed, everyone surrounded her.

"Is this the uniform of Kikuyo Girls' High School, that pretty famous elite school in Kyoto?"

"She seemed to know Zhu Mei."

"At the beginning, the climbing speed was quite fast..."

As everyone was discussing animatedly, the girl suddenly yelled "Ha!" and sprang to her feet.

"Oh my, whew, it seems you're all amazed by my agile movements, whew, huh? My warm-up is so high-level, whew... you've never seen anything like it before, have you?"

"Um, could you please catch your breath first?"

In just a few seconds, everyone realized – this is another comedic character!

Just then, Zhu Mei came down from the rock wall. When she saw the situation, her expression froze, which was noticed by the new girl: "Hmph, I know you can't forget me, Reiōji Ran, Sōryūin Zhu Mei."

"From a young age, I was a gifted girl from an outstanding family, with a brilliant mind and all-around athletic talent, especially in physical fitness. After starting school, I never lost a single sport, whether it was volleyball, soccer, judo, or boxing. I was born to be a champion, and people couldn't even imagine what it would be like for me to fail... Until that day, at the National Junior High School Girls' Beach Volleyball Tournament, I met you and suffered my first defeat in my life. You completely shattered my confidence! From then on, you began to appear frequently in my life. Basketball, baseball, aerobics, you suppressed me in every single one of them... Therefore, ever since I entered high school, I have been preparing for my revenge! In the past, I was frustrated because I didn't know where you were, but I didn't expect you to suddenly appear and become an idol. Now I know that you are at Huangying Academy!"

Ms. Reiōji Ran spoke at length, which ultimately boiled down to her being a sworn enemy of Akemi, with a deep bond between them. Unfortunately, after her long and eloquent speech, Akemi only had two reactions: "Idol or whatever, she's just someone to play with Gina."

Sigh, her second thought was that she didn't remember who Reiōji Ran was, but saying it would be too hurtful...

Sigh, actually, everyone had the same thought: "She should know that Zhu Mei is the second young lady of the Royal Sakura Academy family, right? How come it took her so long to find out Zhu Mei's whereabouts? Is she an idiot?!" But saying it out loud would be too hurtful...

"After preparing day and night for so long, I've finally waited for you to come to Kyoto." Reiōji Ran pointed at Akemi: "Shōryūin Akemi, I challenge you! It's time for a showdown!"

"Um, this feels so troublesome..." Zhu Mei was sweating profusely. She didn't even remember who this person was. How could they possibly want to play a duel game with her? Zhu Mei quietly took a few steps back and whispered to everyone, "How about we take this opportunity to run away?"

Shino said, "I can use smoke bombs to cover you."

"Hey, you just want to stir up trouble, don't you!" Hanon's idea was more mature: "Why don't we wait and see how this Miss Reiōji wants to settle things with you?"

"But we can't waste this precious study tour time like this! Everyone has so many plans to carry out!" Zhu Mei was determined to leave, and the other girls agreed. So, while Reiouji Ran was still imagining her wonderful duel with Zhu Mei, Shino threw a smoke bomb to the ground with a "bang," and smoke filled the air. Everyone took the opportunity to run away.

"Huh? She got away?" The smoke cleared, and there was no sign of her. Lingwangji Lan was both angry and anxious. She stomped her foot and ran off to look for Zhu Mei's whereabouts. The rock climbing training area became quiet again... until half a minute later.

"They've all gone far away." There was a rustling in the nearby bushes, and Hanon and Shino emerged from within.

Shino asked, "Why didn't you go with your friends?"

"Actually..." Hanon scratched her head, "I also wanted to try rock climbing, but I was so busy chatting with you and watching Zhu Mei and the others having fun that I didn't have a chance to try it."

"Oh, I see. Well then, let's give it a try. There's no one else around, is there?"

The two girls were surprised to find that a person had appeared in front of the previously empty rock face.

Author's Note: It's so late, I'm so sorry, I'm not feeling well today. I'm writing the fourth update, as usual, if I don't finish today, I'll do the fifth update tomorrow.

Section 714, Chapter 706: Coach, I Want to Climb Too

The person standing in front of the climbing wall this time was a man, a foreigner, dressed in a sharp suit, wearing glasses, and with a refined demeanor.

However, his sleeves and chest were bulging, clearly indicating that he was a very muscular and skilled fighter.

Seeing the questioning looks from Hanon and Shino, the man smiled at them: "Oh, you two beautiful ladies, are you staff here? I'm here on vacation and just happened to be passing by this place, so I thought I'd try rock climbing."

“…I feel like I’ve seen you somewhere before.” Shino thought for a long time, then suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed, “You’re also an American, and a world champion in rock climbing. When the rock climbing project was set up in the film village, they did internal training, and your photo was in the course.”

"Wow, it's rare to have fans who know me in the East." The man was delighted and extended his hand to Shino and Kanon: "My name is Scott Harrison, I'm a professional indoor climber, and I currently hold the world record for fastest climber!"

"Wow, he's quite the expert. It's a pleasure to meet you." Hana always treated polite people with courtesy. This Mr. Harrison had a good demeanor and was a professional, so she happily extended her hand to shake his.

Unexpectedly, Harrison, though not a bad person at heart, had been in the limelight for a long time, and in front of the rock face he knew best and felt most comfortable in, he was happy to display some American "gentlemanly spirit," taking Hana's hand and kissing it...

He kissed me, he kissed me, he kissed me...

"Eek—" Before Hanon could react, Shino shivered. What era is this? Still using the hand-kissing greeting? How embarrassing! Besides, Shino knew very well that Hanon liked women.

As expected, Harrison didn't make any further moves, and Kanon couldn't retaliate, but her eyes were practically rolling out of their sockets—no, practically rolling to the very top of the rock wall!

Harrison, feeling too good for himself, failed to notice the awkward atmosphere and said, "Hehe, beautiful lady, I see you'd like to try rock climbing too? Let's go together then."

"...Great! It's so exciting to train with an expert like Mr. Harrison!"

Shino, who knows Kanon well, is in another cold war. He begins to feel sorry for Harrison. Kanon's unusually cute demeanor must mean she's holding back her anger and is about to teach him a lesson!

The two of them fastened their safety ropes, and Shino, acting as the referee, waved his hand and shouted, "Begin!"

"Hehe, why are you so serious?" Harrison grinned, finding the pretty ninja-clad staff member too serious; it was just a warm-up activity!

With a gentle push, Harrison moved up two or three meters. He was a professional rock climber and a world champion. Compared to him, professional climbers were as slow and clumsy as paralyzed men. What he was worried about now was whether the beautiful Oriental lady could keep up with his speed. He didn't want her to finish too quickly and seem ungentlemanly.

After climbing five meters, Harrison decided to wait a few seconds for Hanon. He turned his head and saw that Hanon had already reached his level.

"Hey, this pretty girl is doing well. Judging by her great figure, she must be an athlete." Harrison chuckled, secretly fantasizing about having a romantic encounter with the pretty girl in the mysterious East. With this feeling of excitement, he exerted himself again and climbed another five meters in just four or five seconds, reaching the midpoint of the rock wall.

Harrison turned to look at Hana: "This is already quite difficult, little beauty, can you still keep up... huh?"

He was shocked to see that Hana was still at the same level as him with an easy expression, or even a few inches higher.

“I can do it, Mr. Harrison. You’re the one who needs to step up your game.”

Harrison fell silent. He felt his confidence had been shaken. How could any delicate young girl keep up with his climbing speed?

"Looks like I can't slack off anymore. If I don't do a good job of picking up girls, I might mess things up!" Harrison gritted his teeth, putting away his frivolous thoughts, and prepared to prove his professional skills. He used both hands and feet, climbing another five meters in just three or four seconds—that's an incredible speed. Rock climbing gets harder as you go up, but Harrison's five meters were even faster than before. To Shino below, his speed was like fast-forwarding through a video!

Harrison, focused on the task at hand, was no longer waiting for Kanon. He didn't even turn his head to look, but merely glanced at the side with the corner of his eye: "Very good, that little beauty didn't follow this time, and she didn't crash this time. Let's see if I can make a concerted effort to reach the top first...?"

"Toot—" A whistle blew, indicating that someone had climbed to the top of the rock face and pressed the button that signified success.

At the same time, Shino's shout came from below: "Kanon, you're awesome~"

"What!" Harrison exclaimed in disbelief. He then realized that Kanon hadn't failed to catch up; instead, she had reached the summit at several times the speed of him!

Harrison was stunned: "Wh-when..." This was like an urban legend, a story of a professional boxing champion being beaten up by an old beggar in the slums. It was unbelievable and bizarre. Who would believe that the world champion of rock climbing, who could easily suppress all challengers, would lose to a high school girl who looked like she was not yet an adult while traveling in the Far East?

But as mentioned before, Harrison isn't a bad person at heart.

The American was stunned for a long time before finally accepting the fact that he had been completely outmatched. He let out a sigh of relief, shrugged at Hanon, who had been falling with him on the rope, and expressed his respect: "Little beauty, you're amazing! Is this the magic of the mysterious East?"

"It's not magic." After reprimanding Harrison, Kanon was relaxed and fell with a very leisurely air: "I also gained this ability through hard training."

“Oh, I was too arrogant.” Harrison sensed Kanon’s displeasure and corrected his mistake. After landing, he once again extended his hand to Kanon: “Let’s get to know each other again. I am your defeated opponent, Scott Harrison. May I ask this athlete’s name…”

"My name is Ye Huayin, it's nice to meet you." The two shook hands again, but this time there was no arrogant and awkward hand-kissing.

After shaking hands, Harrison looked at his own palm, recalling the feel of Hana's hand: "I still can't believe that such a small and delicate hand can climb so fast. Hand size determines grip strength, which is a very important physical indicator for rock climbing! With Miss Ye's climbing speed, her hand is simply like... simply like the hand of King Kong!"

Hmm, hands like those of a Vajra?

"Like this?"

"Yes, like this... wait?"

A giant hand suddenly slammed into Harrison's face, startling him. What did he see?

Those hands were broad and huge, with one finger as thick as an average person's wrist. They were like those of a legendary Hercules, something no ordinary person could possess.
