"Blackjack can be very simple, provided you can remember the flow of the 312 cards in six decks on the table," explained a member of the Nimen team whose bright forehead clearly indicated he was a top student.

"So, it seems Hiruma really can remember the order of every card!" Everyone suddenly realized. As expected of the strategist of the Deimon team, this boy named Hiruma is indeed exceptionally talented.

Just then, Hiruma slammed down his playing cards: "I won, 21 points, and the goal of 20 million yen has been achieved."

"Hooray!" Everyone cheered genuinely this time: "The coach can come back to Japan with us!"

Phew, that's fine too.

Seeing that the Deimon team's youthful story could continue, Kanon sighed, turned around, and prepared to go back to the hotel to catch up on sleep. The boys solved the problem on their own without needing to borrow money to support them. Wasn't this the best ending?

The old coach was also very touched: "Hehe, thank you so much, Hiruma! As long as you don't mind this old man, I'll continue to be your coach!"

"Hehehe..." However, when handing the money to the old coach, Hiruzen added rather slyly, "Let me make it clear first, this money is just a loan to you. You have to repay it for the rest of your life~ Who would voluntarily help you repay a loan for free? If you really wanted that kind of guy, you'd be incredibly stupid!"

Uh, Hanon, who had just been planning to help them pay off their debts for free, suddenly had veins popping on her forehead: "Tch, I really can't let these people off so easily!"

Hmm, if you haven't seen "Eyeshield 21", you might be a little confused about the characters here. After all, American football requires at least 11 players on the field, plus substitutes and related personnel, so there are quite a few characters appearing.

Section 73, Chapter 73: The Bag Snatching

The Deimon Junior High School American Football Team's trip to the United States was a resounding success. They completed a grueling 40-day march, significantly improved their skills, and not a single player fell behind, forging incredibly strong bonds among teammates. Now, they've won 20 million yen at the casino, helping their veteran coach pay off his debts, and are about to embark on their journey home. What a joyous occasion!

Well, fortune and misfortune are intertwined. People are most vulnerable when they think they are most secure. A shadow named Kanon is quietly approaching the Deimon team...

Hanon disguised herself slightly, wearing a jacket and a hat, picked up her purse, and went out. She found the Deimon team as they walked towards the bus to the airport.

Huayin lowered the brim of her hat and walked into the crowd.

"Hey, hey? Hey!" After entering the crowd of the Nimon team, Hanon bumped into several people. Finally, she simply pretended to lose her balance and fell into the arms of the gentle and beautiful "Aoi-nee".

"Oh, just like I imagined, what a warm embrace..." After falling down with Aoi-nee, Kanon snuggled up to her and took advantage of her a little.

The impatient "monkey boy" next to her immediately protested: "Hey! What are you doing to Aoi-nee, you bastard?!" He reached out and yanked off Hanon's hat, revealing her face: "Ah, she's a girl?"

Can a scholar's actions be called stealing? Can a girl's act of throwing herself at him be called being a hooligan? For a moment, the monkey boy was stunned and didn't know what to do.

"You're the bastard! Give me back my hat!" Hanon "angrily" snatched back the hat, pushed through the Deimon team, and was about to leave, but her hand was already reaching for the briefcase containing the money...

"Huh?" Hanon was surprised. Although she had quietly touched the box, she didn't pull it.

"Heh, I knew you'd choose to walk into a crowd instead of taking the main road. You must have some purpose." The blond demon boy, Hiruzen, chuckled and raised his arm. A nylon rope was hanging between his wrist and the suitcase. It was this rope that prevented Kanon from stealing the suitcase and also allowed Hiruzen to discover his intentions.

"Tch, I didn't expect there to be anti-theft measures." Hana shook her head. This blond guy seemed very smart, and she had indeed underestimated him.

Hiruzen clutched the suitcase to his chest, revealing a devilish grin to Kanon: "Hehehe, if you don't want us to call the police, hand over your identification information. My slave list has grown by one more person..."

However, Hiruma was not met with Kanon's pleas for mercy, but with the same strange smile: "Oh? Then let me tell you, from now on when you 'trap' slaves, remember to use real handcuffs."

As she spoke, Kanon reached out and lightly slashed the nylon rope in two as if it had been cut by a razor. Then, Kanon reached for the briefcase in Hiruma's arms with her other hand, intending to snatch it by force.

"This girl is carrying a knife?" Hiruzen was startled. He didn't have time to think about it, but fortunately, he reacted very quickly and immediately backed away with his suitcase in his arms.

At this moment, the rest of the Mud Gate team finally understood the situation, and the big fat man quickly stood between Hanon and Hiruma.

"Um, young lady, this money is very important to us, so we can't give it to you." Although the man was very tall, his obese appearance softened his imposing presence, and even his speech was gentle and polite, clearly the kind of person who was kind and easygoing.

Hana had a good impression of the fat man, but things had come to this point, and she had no choice but to act: "Hey, Fatty, could you please step aside?" With that, she pushed him with her wrist, and the fat man flew out of control, falling backward.

"She actually pushed Kurita, who weighs 145 kilograms, away with just one hand?!" Hirumon was even more shocked. Although this fat guy named Kurita was not agile, his strength and weight were always the most reliable presence on the court. The girl in front of him was only 1.7 meters tall and weighed no more than 60 kilograms. How could she have such strength? Or did she have some kind of power-generating technique?

But this is not the time for detailed analysis, as Kanon, who had pushed Kurita away, was already close to Hiruma.

"Huh? Huh? Huh?" The mischievous trio who had been playing the slot machine with Kurita earlier also rushed over. They were among the strongest men in the Deimon team.

"Are you the Haha Three Brothers?" These three naturally posed no threat to Hanon, so they casually waved their hands and flew away.

"Haha, the Three Brothers!" the members of the Mud Gate team exclaimed in surprise. Hua Yin was immediately embarrassed: "So you guys are really called the Haha, the Three Brothers?"

However, dealing with these three people also gave Hiruma time. Seeing Kanon's overwhelming momentum, he knew that his strength was no match for Kanon's snatching, so he used the action of an American football quarterback to throw the suitcase far away: "Hey, you stinky monkey, catch!"

"Alright! Watch me catch the ball at MAX!" The monkey boy took a few steps back following the parabola of the suitcase and jumped up to "catch the ball," but another figure ran faster and jumped earlier, intercepting the suitcase before him.

That is naturally Hana-on.

"Huh? Wasn't she just in front of Hiruzen? When did she come over here?" The monkey boy was completely bewildered.

At this moment, after snatching the briefcase, Kanon ran away into the distance.

Hanon was fast, but after running a few steps, she discovered that there was still one person in the Deimon team who could keep up with her and was even closing the distance between them.

Chasing after Kanon was the little bean who had played roulette with the monkey boy before, called "Sena". Although he was thin, he had a pair of golden feet and ran incredibly fast.

"Wow, this guy is fast!" Hanon couldn't help but exclaim. "It really shows that everyone has their own expertise, just like Adam and his dad. An athlete may not be able to beat a fighter, but they definitely have unique skills in their own area of ​​expertise... Of course, I'm not just a nobody either!"

Actually, Kanon hasn't officially participated in the Kengan tournament yet. Aside from her usual carefree workouts, she hasn't joined any sports clubs, so she can't really be considered a "famous" figure! But Kanon's physical abilities are truly outstanding, especially her explosive power, which is earth-shattering. When she also applied the "explosive core" principle to her two legs, her speed surpassed that of the boy named Sena.

Seeing that Hanon's speed suddenly surpassed his own, Sena panicked instantly. His steps faltered, and coupled with his stamina being far inferior to Hanon's, he was immediately left behind. He watched as Hanon darted into the alley and climbed over the high wall, but he could no longer find her figure.

"It's over!" The old coach of the Mud Gate team sighed to the sky. His plan to pay off his debts was ruined, and he could no longer return to his hometown that was beckoning him.

The Mud Gate team erupted in groans, their previously high morale plummeting. But then, the younger sister of the siblings, named Lingyin, suddenly shouted, "That girl left her purse behind... Hey, there's so much money in there!"

Chapter 74 Chapter 74: Ozu’s last words

Hanon was just playing a little prank; when she bumped into the crowd, she deliberately left her purse with an equal amount of money for the Deimon team.

"Great!" The veteran coach instantly went from the lowest point in his life to the peak: "Now I can pay off my debts again!"

Others wondered, "Did that girl deliberately snatch the bag? But why did she leave behind an equal amount of cash?"

As for the golden-haired Hiruzen, his eyes lit up with surprise: "He's stronger than a fat pig, jumps higher than a monkey, and is even faster than a little bean... There are actually such talents in the world!"

Japanese high school American football clubs don't prohibit women from participating; in fact, one girl is a regular member of the top American football high school, Teigaku Academy. Seeing Kanon's strength, Hiruma naturally considered recruiting her to his team. This guy is no saint; he's already thinking about how to investigate the identity of this inexplicably appearing girl and how to coerce and entice her into joining the team.

But that's a story for later. Having finally gotten her revenge on the Nimon team, Kanon went straight back to the hotel to catch up on her sleep. This time, without the Nimon team making a fuss, she finally got a good night's rest.

Next, Hanon spent a week in Las Vegas. She didn't go to the casinos, but rather strolled the streets or stayed in her hotel, enjoying a leisurely time. Las Vegas isn't just known for its gambling industry; its extravagant lifestyle has spurred many other industries, most notably entertainment and hotels. With enough money, hotels here can provide any service—cough, cough, don't get the wrong idea, Hanon just hired some brothel masseuses.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye, and it's time to prepare to go back to Japan.

Before leaving, Adam came to see Kanon off. When they parted, he said, "I think I can give it a try regarding the Kengan Tournament in Japan. I've heard there are many fighting dojos there, so maybe I can learn and improve my skills there."

Adam swung his fist, which was as big as a sandbag, and his fighting spirit was rekindled: "I will become stronger in the future, and then I will challenge you again!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you." Hanon smiled sweetly and waved goodbye.

"Sigh." Adam watched Hanon's smile disappear through the boarding gate, feeling a pang of regret, especially when he recalled seeing Hanon all cuddled with a bunch of masseuses at the hotel: "What a lovely girl, too bad she's a lesbian."

Uh, it seems he misunderstood. It's true that Kanon likes girls, but she's a proper slut.

They walked home in silence. Hanon greeted Kirito Takakaze when she got home, rested briefly, and then went to Mr. Shirogane's gym. Hanon was now quite used to gym life; all the girls there were so talented and had such lovely voices—she loved it!

"Kane, you're back!" Everyone greeted Kanon upon seeing her; this kind of sisterly bond is truly amazing!

"There are so many people today..." Hana looked around and saw that every area of ​​the gym was packed with people, making it almost impossible to find a place to stand.

"It's because of summer, summer vacation is about to start," Hibiki explained. "There are always a lot of new people at the gym during the holidays, but most of them can't stick with it."

So after a quick workout, Kanon and the others were pushed out of the gym crowd, and the fitness girls began wandering the streets. Gina had suggested doing some street workouts, but Japanese parks are different from those in other countries; they don't have many exercise facilities and are basically just open spaces, so in the end, they couldn't do anything.

“Oh, right,” Zhu Mei said, “I carry this book with me at all times.”

Zhu Mei pulled a book from her bag titled "Understanding Muscles Through Muscles: A Comprehensive Guide to Muscle Training for All Parts," written by Mr. Ozu, whom she had met before.

"This is Ozu's latest book, which includes explanations of exercise methods that don't require equipment. It also comes with a photo of Ozu himself!"

"...'Oh my god,' but this guy's photos are the only ones I should never come near." Hanon was speechless. After returning to the fitness girl group, she also returned to her role as the tsukkomi (straight man) character.

Uncle, don't come near me! (Image)

Opening the book, I saw the words: "In this chapter, I will introduce some training methods that do not require equipment. Remember, even if you are in dire straits, as long as you don't stop thinking, there will always be a way. The brilliance of never giving up is the most important!"

Kanon complained, "That's a nice thing to say, but the picture is a bit off." The picture showed Ozu-sensei covered in wounds, facing a blurry figure with a serious expression. The figure seemed to radiate immense pressure, appearing to be a formidable enemy that Ozu-sensei couldn't handle…

"Are you sure this isn't Toshio Ozu's last work?"

Zhu Mei actually thought about it seriously for a moment: "Relax, I heard from my sister that Professor Ozu was seriously injured and is recuperating in the hospital, but he didn't die in battle~ It's really amazing that he was able to finish writing his new book under such circumstances!"

Hanon found it strange: "He was full of energy when I saw him not long ago, how come he was suddenly injured?"

Zhu Mei shook her head: "All I know is that my sister and the others have brought in a lot of fighters from all over the country, it seems like they are going to prepare for some kind of fighting competition. Mr. Ozu is the examiner, and he must have been injured in the fight with these people."

Zhu Mei wasn't involved in family affairs much, but Kanon knew about the Kengan Association. She immediately realized, "This is probably a selection of fighters. Ozu Toshio's muscle level is actually quite good. It seems that the Imperial Sakura Academy has found a very strong fighter... I wonder how Mieko is doing."

Thinking about the Kengan match, Kanon hurriedly ended her practice for the day. After returning to Takakaze's house, she called Suoh Mieko.

With her recent training with Kuroki and her trip to the United States, Kanon and Miho have had little contact. When she called Miho this time, she was surprised to find that Miho was actually doing quite well.

"Kane, Kanon, great news!" Kanon could feel Miho's excitement even through the phone: "I recently met an incredibly powerful fighter. Although I was hit on at a gathering of rich kids... this guy is really strong! He's a representative fighter for the big Nogi Group, and he even said he'd be willing to participate in a match for me!"

Miho felt she was about to reach the pinnacle of her life: "Our competition is set for the day after tomorrow. This time, we're sure to snatch new orders from our competitors! The company's debts are finally going to improve! Hooray!"

Finally, Miho extended a sincere invitation to Kanon: "Waaah, Kanon, you've always cared about me so much, you absolutely have to come to the match!"

Things changed so fast... In that case, Kanon didn't mention Adam at all. Let's go see how strong this super-strong "first meeting uncle" that Mihoko mentioned really is!

Chapter 3 will be later... Anyway, everyone'll be traveling around during the Mid-Autumn Festival, right?

Happy Mid-Autumn Festival everyone

Section 75, Chapter 75: The Reliable Uncle at First Meeting

Another building that's "closed for business," another group of spectators placing bets, and another ordinary Kengan match.

"Ah, Kanon, you're here!"

Because the participants today were all companies ranked lower in the Kengan Association, there weren't many spectators, and the venue was a bit deserted. Suoh Miho spotted Kanon in the crowd at a glance.

After some time apart, Mihono still looks the same, except her dark circles are even more pronounced. Perhaps this young president, who was appointed to the position in a time of crisis, has been under immense pressure lately! Fortunately, she received a promise to participate in a powerful competition, which has given Mihono renewed energy.

Before Kanon could even tease Mieko about her dark circles after they met, Mieko had already reached out to compare Kanon's height: "Kanon, you seem to have grown taller." Then Mieko hugged Kanon: "You seem to have gained weight too~"

Yes, teenagers develop very quickly during their youth. Kanon was already incredibly talented, and after more than half a year of training, her body has been growing rapidly. Now Kanon's height has exceeded 170 to 171 centimeters, and her weight is approaching 130 kilograms. Although most of it is muscle, making her look quite slender, she can no longer be described as "petite."
