Author's Note: This chapter is late again...sorry (I've been saying this a lot lately).

Also, I originally only planned to write half a chapter for this, but I got carried away and it expanded into a whole chapter. I hope the content is quite funny.

There will be two more updates in a bit. Let's continue our Hokkaido journey.

Finally, Kato Taro referenced Kato Buntaro from [The Lonely Man], but as a middle-aged, bankrupt version.

Section 721, Chapter 713: Superman? Ghost?

You might not know what it means to jump from a height of twenty meters and emerge unscathed. We usually only use two words to describe such a person: Superman!

Hanon often said that if Sikorsky could be kicked off a skyscraper by Baki but still manage to climb back up the outer wall, then it wouldn't be a problem for her, Hanon, to jump from a helicopter into a snowy forest with a full pack of equipment.

He grabbed a tree branch in mid-air, but oh no, he couldn't grab this one; it was covered in thorns. If he got pricked and lost his balance, he'd be dead.

She reached for another tree, which also had thorns, but there was no need to fear. Hanon possessed "indestructible strength." Once prepared, her palms became like iron pincers, and she stripped away all the thorns. Even so, the momentum of her fall was still strong. The treetop snapped off, and Hanon continued to fall—Earth's gravity would deliver the final blow, but it couldn't.

I grabbed another tree branch to absorb the force, you idiot, I know magic! I immediately stabilized myself.

Then you'll land safely. Hurry up, Xiaotong is waiting for rescue! Hanon, hurry up! Without dawdling, she let go and fell from the treetops five or six meters high—into the snowdrift. She was too hasty in finding the wrong landing spot; she should have jumped into the open space next to her.

It's so cold in the snowdrift. I wish someone would make Hana a cappuccino.

Forget it, she's already landed and completed a 20-meter high no-parachute jump. What danger could there be now? That's Kanon! She's practically one of the top five, or even top three, super strong fighters in the world. What can a mere snowdrift do to her? If she messes up jumping over a snowdrift today, Kanon will... eat a mouthful of snow right there and then.

The winter nights in Hokkaido are very cold, but the daytime temperatures can sometimes be above freezing. The snow melts and then freezes again, turning into ice. There is a layer of ice under the snow piles that Hanon falls from.

So, Hana, who fell safely from a height of twenty meters, slipped after landing and fell face-first into the snowdrift, landing in a human shape.

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!" Hana got up with an embarrassed look on her face. The snow in the forest was quite clean, so a mouthful of it was nothing. Luckily, no one she knew saw it, or that would have been really embarrassing.

Well, Kanon is just an ordinary girl after all, not a real superhero.

After speaking with Uncle Kato and arranging the rescue, she turned on her flashlight and walked alone into the depths of the forest.

Hanon wasn't worried about her safety. Her minor mistake just now was nothing; no one saw it anyway… She was still one of the world's strongest martial artists. Even if there were a pack of bears or wolves in this snowy forest, let alone no wild beasts, Hanon could handle it with ease. As for the cold, hunger, and getting lost that wilderness survival would involve, Hanon's backpack was fully equipped, and she carried several GPS signal devices with her, so she had nothing to worry about.

This was largely thanks to Kuroki Gensai taking Kanon to Mount Kushiro for training back then, which allowed them to accumulate considerable wilderness survival experience.

This shows how important training and experience are! With these, even ordinary people can accomplish incredible feats and become like superheroes!

And Kanon, in this world without superheroes, is undoubtedly the real... superhero?

Hanon rubbed her eyes: "Huh? There's a... Superman up ahead?"

If he wasn't Superman, why could that person fly?

Hanon raised her hand... and tapped her head, wondering if she had bumped into something when she fell on the snow.

But no matter how much she rubbed her head and eyes, the thing in front of her was still there—a figure in the distance, floating high in the sky, even above the towering trees.

Gods? Monsters? Ghosts? Birds? Or... a real superman?

"Let's go take a look anyway..."

Curiosity is the driving force of human progress, even if it can kill a cat. Kanon decided to go and see, not to mention whether the floating humanoid was friend or foe, its appearance in the forest might be related to Hitomi's disappearance.

After sending her GPS location to the search and rescue team, Hanon quickly walked towards the place that was still some distance away.

That floating humanoid figure is...

Nitta Hina silently returned to the snow hut, where there were still three junior high school students, two boys and one girl.

Yes, Nitta Hina is Hitomi's best friend and one of the four junior high school students who went missing this time.

"Hina, you've been gone for so long just to go to the bathroom, it's starting to worry me!" Two boys, one with a buzz cut named Kengo and the other with long hair named Takashi, were scolding Hina. Kengo had a short temper and immediately started blaming Hina.

"Stop talking, we need to stick together now!" Xiaotong spoke up. With an "extremely impressive" resume, she had a strong presence despite being a middle school student. She was very authoritative among her friends and her words calmed the wavering hearts.

Kochu pointed into the distance, in the direction of Kanon: "I think it would be better to go that way, there's light there."

When Kanon saw the little chick take flight, the little chick also saw Kanon's flashlight beam.

"Really? Maybe someone's coming to rescue us! Hooray!" The remaining three cheered. They were just middle school students! Of course, they were terrified in this situation. Xiaochu gave them hope, and they immediately ran out of the snow house with joy... But it was pitch black outside, and there was nothing there.

The three companions then questioned Kohina: "Hey, there's not even a ghost! Where did you see the light from?" "Kohina... are you hallucinating?" "It's only the first night, do you really need to push yourself so hard?"

"Tch..." Little Chick gritted her teeth and fell silent.

But seeing her three companions listlessly walk back to the snow hut, as if all their strength and hope had been drained away, leaving them like salted fish, Little Chihaya finally couldn't hold back anymore.

"...There's something I need you to keep a secret."

"Huh? What does she want to do this time?"

Xiaochu took a deep breath and slowly said, "I have superpowers. I saw that light when I was flying."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"What on earth is this guy saying?"

"Are you really starting to have delusions?"

Unlike the two boys who were stunned, Hitomi, as Hina's best friend, stood up and walked up to her...

"Slap!" Xiaotong slapped Xiaochu across the face.

"it hurts--"

The blow to the little chick hurt Xiaotong deeply! Xiaotong hugged her friend tightly: "Little chick, wake up! There are no superpowers in this world. Now we can only wait for rescue. Running around and wasting our energy will really kill us... Trust the adults, they will definitely find us!"

"Tch!" Seeing that Xiaotong didn't believe her, Xiaochu gritted her teeth, pushed her away, and ran out of the snow house.

"Oh no!" Hitomi rushed after them, shouting, "Kengo, Takashi, hurry and catch Hina! She's really going to die if we don't get her back!"

"Yes!" ×2, the friendship among junior high school students is still very strong.

However, when the three of them ran out of the snow house, they were all stunned.

Because the chicks were really floating in mid-air.

"I...can use superpowers..."

Kengo pulled Takashi along, and the two turned and left, saying as they walked, "No, maybe we're the ones who's brain-dead, we're just hallucinating."

Takashi nudged Kengo: "I have a different opinion. Hina went to the toilet and was gone for so long, and when she came back, everything had changed. I think... maybe Hina didn't even come back... or maybe it wasn't Hina who came back..."

"Uh, do you know how terrifying you're talking about..."

"Wow!" Suddenly, Xiaotong exclaimed from behind, and the two junior high school boys instinctively screamed, "Help! Ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost, ghost!"

"Huh?" Little Hina was stunned. She had only used her superpower to levitate Little Hitomi in mid-air.

But just as she and the shocked Xiaotong were about to continue their conversation, a soft shout came from behind: "What kind of monster are you? Let go of that girl!"

Author's Note: I hope I can finish the last chapter in time. As usual, if I don't finish by midnight, I'll update five times tomorrow.

Section 722, Chapter 714: Muscular Girl vs. Superpowered Girl

Hanon rushed over and saw that Xiaotong had been lifted into the air by the floating humanoid creature. In the distance, two boys were shouting in a daze that they had seen a ghost. Her mind went blank. No matter if it was a ghost, a monster, or an alien, she had to save Xiaotong first.

The "Unbounded Transformation" was activated, and the speed was extremely fast. In an instant, he rushed to Xiaotong's side and hugged her.

Nitta Hina was only using Hitomi to demonstrate her superpowers, so she didn't apply too much restraint. As soon as Kanon hugged her, Hina immediately relaxed, and Hitomi fell into Kanon's arms.

Then, Hanon used "Unpredictable Transformation" to rush into the safe zone with Kotomi. Still not feeling at ease, she casually threw out the flashlight in her hand. She couldn't see clearly what the humanoid creature was in the dark, but if it could make Kotomi float, it must be supernatural. She should use all the means at hand first.

Moreover, given Hanon's throwing accuracy, this throw wasn't at full power; she held back a bit when she threw it, not aiming for the face, but just letting it graz the forehead, enough to give that "humanoid creature" a little intimidation.

Unfortunately, it was this thrown flashlight that caused the problem.

"Whoosh—" The flashlight grazed the little chick's forehead at an incredible speed. Although it didn't even scratch the skin, the bullet-like sound startled the little chick.

"Ah, ahhh..." Little Hina was showing signs of going berserk. She raised her arm and instinctively used her superpower to restrict the space where Kanon was.

Knowing that her opponent possessed supernatural powers, Hanon immediately sensed danger upon seeing her raise her hand and quickly dodged to the side. Hanon's martial arts skills were exceptional, and her dodging was incredibly swift—almost as fast as a bullet. Kohina's eyes and thoughts couldn't keep up with her; she could only manage to secure the backpack behind Hanon with her raised hand.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Kanon felt the backpack pulling her backward with an overwhelming force, almost like the power of a law. She hadn't felt this powerless even when facing Yujiro Hanma's "God of Slaughter." She hurriedly raised her hand and used her "Finger Razor" to cut the straps. With a few crisp "crackling" sounds, the backpack was compressed and twisted, and the food, water, and various utensils inside were shattered into dust, turning into a bag of trash.

"Absolutely terrifying!" Hanon's back and forehead were covered in cold sweat. This wasn't the first time she'd encountered something supernatural in the new world, but it was the first time she'd run into a supernatural opponent. Toyota Tadakatsu's ghost, aside from his identity, was just a harmless goofball, but this indistinct "humanoid creature" in front of her was far too terrifying. Judging by its power, a hit from it would basically be fatal!

This might be an even stronger opponent than Yujiro Hanma! With this realization, Kanon's body began to heat up amidst her fear, her adrenaline surged, and her combat intelligence and instincts soared: "Obviously, this 'ghost' needs to capture me to be controlled, so I'll just blind its senses."

"Whoosh—" Huayin lifted her leg and slashed the ground, stirring up a large snowflake. Then she used "Boundless Transformation" to move at high speed. With each step she took, she stomped down heavily and lifted up high, making the snow fog even larger. In an instant, the open space was covered with ice and snow, and no one could be seen from the opposite side. You couldn't even see your own hand in front of your face.

Hina can't see, smell, or hear Hanon—Hina is afraid that the other's senses are too sharp, so she doesn't even dare to activate "Valkyrie Mode," and she's extremely careful with her ordinary movements, never making a sound. This is not difficult for Hanon, who has mastered the "force dissipation" technique.

With her senses sealed, Kohina's fighting instincts were aroused even more. She was a super-powered girl developed as a humanoid weapon by an organization in the future, and she was the strongest in the organization. If she went berserk, she could destroy a town. Therefore, she was sent back to the present timeline. Well, although the setting is ridiculous, with her senses sealed, the machine-like training she received in her past life took effect, manipulating the air to form a protective shield around her.

The protective shield appeared at just the right time. As soon as it formed, it made a loud "bang." It was Huayin who rushed in with lightning speed using "Unpredictable Transformation" and punched the invisible wall.

"Tch." Hanon's hand bones throbbed with pain, feeling as if they were about to crack, but she dared not make too much noise, still afraid of being found by her opponent. Since her opponent had a protective shield, Hanon had no choice but to continue circling, activating her snow mist, and looking for an opportunity.

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

"Oh!"

……

Hanon began to launch attacks on Hina's body, but each attack was blocked by the air barrier. This protective shield is really powerful; it should be a 360-degree circle. I wonder if there is any protection above and below her head.

Hina was also annoyed. Relying on her past fighting instincts, she could not find Hanon, but she could find the trees in the forest. With a wave of her hand, several large trees were uprooted, creating a huge impact that shook the earth and pressed down on the open space.

The battle scene suddenly became fantastical, almost like a duel between gods.

"Boom!" The tree crashed down, and snow and mist rose up. But Xiaochu no longer needed to look for Hanon. As long as she blocked all the gaps in the area, the enemy would surely be trapped under the tree!
