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

"Hahaha, they're all trash." Wu Lei'an glanced at the match casually and gave a dismissive answer: "I'll deal with this guy in the next round? Hmph, whatever, just another one to be slaughtered."

Adam walked back to the players' tunnel, where Kanon and Miho were already waiting.

"Adam, you've worked hard." Hana gave him a thumbs up: "Well done."

"Hmm, Miss, your reminder came just in time..." Adam smiled, but his body suddenly went limp, and Hana reached out to support him.

Nezu's attack wasn't easy to bear either; Adam suffered considerable damage in this round.

Meanwhile, in the other player tunnel, Nezu, who had regained consciousness, was silently weeping, with a person dressed in a "Donald Duck" uniform in front of him.

"In the end, no miracle happened..." Nezu said dejectedly, "So be it. The park will eventually fall under TEPCO's control. Our dreamland is over. I truly loved this place, that park where nothing could interfere..."

"Why choose to give up? This is so unlike Nezu-senpai!" The Donald Duck mascot exploded, removing its headgear to reveal a rather pretty... delinquent girl?!

"The Oak Clan is the strongest in the world! Senior, you are our rising star, we will definitely win next time! I will follow you for the rest of my life!"

"Miki... would you... would you be willing to start over with me?"

"Of course!" The girl hugged Nezu emotionally. Well, Nezu, who lost the match, seems to have won his whole life...

The battlefield of emotions is the greatest challenge in life, and I believe that many of you who are still single can at least relate to this. Anyway, in the backstage passage of the elimination round, Chu Jianquan sensed a hint of danger.

"Izumi, it's your turn to appear."

"Hehe, really? I didn't even have time to warm up."

So you're blaming me? I'm so sorry!

Because they met in the corridor, Izumi didn't have time to warm up. Instead, she watched the battle with Shion and was quickly rendered speechless by Shion's teasing...

However, the relationship between the two is quite awkward; it's clearly embarrassing, yet they secretly care about each other.

"...Never mind, Izumi, good luck in the next game."

"Okay, let's get ready for a big battle!" Hatsumi nodded: "If we can't win, Uncle Nogi will be very angry."

Well, at this moment, President Nogi is meeting a mysterious person in his lounge.

Author's Note: I'll only write about the Ya match in the fourth stage of the competition. Next, I'll write about Kanon in a side story.

Section 156, Chapter 154: I, Hanon, am a really good person.

"You know what to do, right? Then go ahead. The deposit has been paid; the balance depends on your performance."

The mysterious man nodded: "I understand. Once we step out of this door, we'll be complete strangers."

After the man left, the person behind President Nogi asked, "Did they hire this kind of cleaner to attack President Yoshitake in the hopes of easily advancing to the second round?"

Nogi turned around, and the person behind him was none other than Rin Kushida, the inconspicuous squinty-eyed secretary who served Kazuo Yamashita.

"I'm just adding some insurance," President Nogi explained. "Rito inexplicably forfeited in the first round, Tokita Ohma's next opponent is also very strong, and his future is uncertain. His performance in the first round has been very inconsistent... Now is not the time to worry about tactics."

Kushida Rin nodded: "I understand the logic, but that mercenary, Honma Kiyoshi, could he really defeat President Yoshitake's security detail and force him to admit defeat?"

"Hehehe, who said he has to win?" President Nogi's smile turned sinister: "I helped Honma set up a company and have already recommended him to become a member of the Kengan Association. The Kengan Association strictly prohibits members from fighting privately. Even if he loses to Yoshitake Keiro, Yoshitake Realty will still have something on me."

"...President Nogi, you're a truly terrifying man," Rin Kushida exclaimed. "Then why not just do it this way and avoid the initial battle?"

President Nogi shrugged: "In the end, the Kengan Tournament still depends on the level of the fighters. Izumi's condition is too unstable. If he can't beat the fighters from Gibu Real Estate, then we might as well let the stronger fighters from that side advance to the tournament. Anyway, I have leverage over them. After Gibu Real Estate wins, they will nominate me to be the president of the Kengan Association."

"...Impressive, impressive, I admire you." Kushida was once again shocked by Nogi's "cunning." He truly lived up to his reputation as a shrewd and calculating businessman!

Well, Nogi has thought things through thoroughly. No matter what, President Yoshitake is bound to fall into his trap. However, there's a prerequisite: that the mercenary Honma Kiyoshi successfully gets to President Yoshitake's side...

"What's wrong, Kanon? Aren't you going to watch the next match? Uncle Hatsumi is about to make his appearance!"

On the field, after watching Adam's match, Kanon said goodbye to Miho and decided not to continue watching the fourth division's matches.

"No, I need to go to the infirmary to check on that priest. After all, I just started dating his sister, so I should at least say hello." Kanon waved her hand. "Besides, the one who advances from the fourth division is definitely the Fang of Destroyer. No matter how strong the first round is, he can't overcome the mountain that is Kana, right? I just need to get back to watch the last match..."

Hanon thought for a moment and said, "Hmm, it seems like the second to last match, the one with the boxing champion Gaolang, is also worth watching! The match before that has Dr. Yingchu in it, and I've been somewhat involved with him lately, so I should probably watch that too... Anyway, I'll be back as soon as possible."

Seeing Kanon run off in a flash, Miho could only shout, "Uh, be careful of the rain, Kanon! It looks like it's going to rain!"

Indeed, the sky had been overcast for a long time. Everyone expected it to rain during the third section of the competition. However, the first round of the competition today went very quickly. Suoh Steel's Uncle He Lu and SH Frozen's Rito both withdrew from the competition, so the rain didn't start until the fourth section started.

"Wow, are we going to have a rain battle?" In the commentary booth, Kaname Kaname hurriedly called over a staff member to hold an umbrella for her. In contrast, the audience seats had rain shelter measures in place, so these bigwigs from the economic and political circles wouldn't get soaked.

As for Hanon, she was feeling a bit unwell. There was an open-air garden on the way from the stands to the infirmary, and she happened to be on the way when it started raining. The rain poured down and soaked Hanon completely.

"Waaah, I'm soaked to the bone..." Looking disheveled, Huayin had no choice but to turn around and find a restroom to change her clothes.

"Sigh, everything else is fine, it's just this wig..."

Clothes are easy to change, but there's only one wig. Because she's playing the male fighter "Flavor Sander," Kanon's real hair has already been shaved very short. The wig she's wearing now is the style of an ordinary short-haired girl. Once it gets wet, it'll all be exposed. Since there's no other option, she has to change the whole outfit at once and transform back into Flavor!

The "Flavor Set" is actually very simple, consisting of only a leather jacket, a small hat, a roll of bandages, and a small backpack. In just a short while, Hanon came out of the bathroom, dressed as Flavor Sander.

Before leaving, Kanon had carefully checked that no one was around, because it would be troublesome if she saw Flavor Sander come out of the women's restroom. However, as fate would have it, someone rushed over and bumped into Kanon.

"Huh?" With Kanon's current reaction speed, how could she just bump into someone like that? This is a fighting anime, not a romance anime! Besides, it wasn't a pretty young lady who bumped into her, but a big, burly man with a beard. Kanon couldn't tolerate him touching her, so she immediately jumped back and avoided the impact.

"Be careful!" After dodging, Hana looked at the newcomer, a burly man in camouflage and a beret, exuding the aura of a military elite.

After the initial shock came confusion. The restroom was already in a somewhat out-of-the-way location, and everyone's attention was focused on the battle in the arena. There wasn't a single staff member around, and then suddenly a soldier-looking guy ran by, making the scene very strange. He didn't look like a good person at all...

This person was none other than Kiyoshi Honma, hired by President Nogi. He was also startled by the near-collision earlier and blurted out in surprise, "Ah...you are, you are Flavor Sander! How did you get out of the women's restroom...Pfft..."

Before she finished speaking, Hanon's cosmic phantom arrived.

Having her whereabouts exposed so bluntly, Kanon was extremely embarrassed and knocked Honma unconscious with a single punch.

"I'm sorry, sir, please forget all of this!"

After defeating Honma, Kanon turned and ran, hoping that the mercenary uncle who woke up would think that it was all just a dream... Anyway, she would never admit her identity. Flavor's cover identity was so successful, it would be such a pity to lose it like this.

However, this means that the battle between Hatsumi and actor Chiba Takayuki has already begun, and President Nogi's double insurance has been ruined. He can only hope that Hatsumi Izumi is in good condition and can defeat her opponent to advance.

Completely unaware that he had escaped a calamity thanks to Kanon, President Yoshitake was still gloating. He hired two strong fighters who had failed the preliminaries to protect him, one of whom was Aki Saito, Kanon's first opponent in the Kengan Tournament. They could easily defeat Honma, but President Yoshitake would also fall into Nogi's trap and be controlled by him.

In a way, Kanon really is President Yoshitake's benefactor!

Hanon was unaware that she had done something "good," and just ran away from the "scene of the incident." As she ran, she saw several figures running in different groups ahead, which piqued her curiosity.

"Why is everyone so focused on the backstage area of ​​the arena instead of watching the match?"

As she got a little closer, Kanon recognized one of them: Yumeno, the president of Oakwood Disney.

Author's Note: It rained in the manga too, but it happened during Setsuna vs. Nikaido.

Section 157, Chapter 155: Doubles?

Oh my, what's going on here?

Hanon was curious. Out of thirty-two companies, half would be eliminated in the first round. Losing was normal, especially since the battles were between fighters, and the company presidents didn't need to participate personally. So why was President Yumeno of Oakwood Disney in such a hurry? It seemed like he was hiding from something terrifying...

"Damn it..." President Yumeno was utterly desperate. As he ran, he instructed his two bodyguards, "Listen, you two! I'll give you as much money as you want, but you have to protect me even if it costs you your lives!"

"Hehehe, there's no need for that anymore." A loud laugh came from around the corner ahead. The figure swayed and made a few movements, and President Mengye's bodyguards both fell to the ground before they could even react.

President Yumeno was shocked: "What! The strongman selected from Bishamonten along with Nezu actually..."

"So you can't even dodge an attack of this level?" The person around the corner chuckled. "You're really a second-rate, no, a third-rate guy."

To President Yumeno, the laughter sounded like the echo of hell, nearly scaring him to death: "Ahhh, don't come any closer! Who are you?"

"Just a pig~" The person around the corner had a good sense of self-deprecation, laughing at himself as he walked out of the shadows.

As soon as he appeared, President Yumeno and Kanon behind him recognized him—Koji Buruki, Tokita Ohma's former rival and the "curse master".

"Strange, what is he doing?"

Many fighters had come to watch the final match, so it wasn't surprising that Wumu would come. However, instead of watching the match from the stands, he attacked the defeated president of Yumeno, which puzzled Kanon. Could it be a personal grudge?

President Yumeno, quite self-aware, pointed at Wuqi with a trembling voice: "You've also been bribed by TEPCO to be Hayami's cleaner? Damn it, is Hayami in such a hurry to kill someone to cover it up...?"

Wu Mu did not deny it at all: "Hehehe, that's right, please cooperate a little, I have other targets to take care of next."

"Who else...who else?"

Wumu counted on his fingers, "President Nomura of Haiyi Securities has already been caught, you're the second. Next up are two from Amidai Suisan and Byakuya Shimbun. Their behavior is even worse; they not only ruined TEPCO's plans but also sided with Suoh Seigetsu. Boss Hayami is furious and will also be executed!"

As she spoke, Wumu leaned closer to President Yumeno: "Don't worry, it won't hurt much."

President Yumeno on the other side was almost terrified: "Help, help me!!!"

Wumu burst into laughter: "Everyone's gone to watch the game, who's still here—wait, there really is someone?"

Wumu saw a figure running towards them, which was of course Kanon. However, Wumu couldn't see her face clearly yet. Disturbed from his "work", he fired another "hidden weapon".

Quickly! Hanon had seen the fight between Wumu and Tokita Ohma and knew that this man was quite accurate at throwing darts. Moreover, she had just seen President Yumeno's two bodyguards fall into the trap from afar. Hanon was already on guard. With a casual wave of her hand, she caught the "hidden weapon" in front of her. It turned out to be a pachinko ball.

"You...you're quite childlike." Hanon shrugged, tossing away the marbles, acknowledging Wumu's hobby.

Wumu's expression changed. After all, he had also watched the elimination rounds, and this Flavor Sander had performed exceptionally well and was very strong. He was afraid that he was no match for him. This job was really going to be difficult...

Kanon really got caught up in this mess by accident, getting dragged into the infighting within the Tokyo Electric Power Company. Whether she intervened or not was up to her, but firstly, it wouldn't be right to stand by and watch President Yumeno be taken away by Wuqi; secondly, Wuqi was going to take action against Presidents Amiyo and Akano, who were now Suoh Seigetsu's "underlings"; and thirdly, Wuqi had casually thrown a marble at Kanon, and it wouldn't be right to leave a grudge unavenged... As a lady, Kanon was naturally a little angry, and with these three reasons at play, it was only natural for her to teach Wuqi a lesson.

"Hey, what are you doing, sneaking around like that?" Hana shouted in a gruff voice, "I'll catch you and hand you over to the guards of the Katahara family!"

"Damn it, you wish!" Wumu spat, then made a move—not rushing towards Kanon, but towards President Yumeno.

Having witnessed Flavor's strength, does Wumu still dare to ignore Kanon?

Then Hana didn't hold back. Feeling ignored, she became even angrier. Since Wumu dared to expose his vital points to her, she would take advantage of it. Didn't the famous martial arts master Hong Qigong say, "Your position is too handsome, I can't resist!"

Cosmic illusion, let's go!

However, Hanon's charge was stopped halfway.
