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

Emmm, Adam also admitted that Wu Lei'an was a formidable opponent he definitely couldn't defeat, and he might end up getting brutally beaten like Mogi Robinson in the first round. Now that Kanon has accepted this battle, it's really for Adam's own good.

"Thank you, Miss..." Adam's temper had improved since meeting Hanon, and he even thanked her for the first time: "Please be very careful when fighting Wu Lei'an."

"Don't worry," Hua Yin waved her hand. "I already have a plan. Wu Lei'an can't turn the tables."

Author's Note: This day is destined to be a busy one for Kanon.

Section 177, Chapter 175: Kuroki, the Match-Fixing Man?

As they spoke, they arrived at the door of the infirmary. Hana chuckled and, without revealing her tactics for defeating Wu Lei'an, pushed open the door and went inside, leaving Adam behind her anxiously asking, "Hey, Da... cough cough, Flavor, what exactly do you plan to do with Wu Lei'an?"

Hua Yin shook her head: "I have my own brilliant plan. We'll see when the fight starts. Adam, put Rihito inside."

The infirmary was empty except for Yingchu, who had been eliminated in the first round and almost lost his life. He had come to act as a doctor again.

However, Yingchu's medical skills were indeed superb; having him around actually made people feel more at ease than the clinic's original, regular doctor. Wherever Yingchu was, his little nurse, Yoshizawa Kokomi, naturally followed along, leaving only the two of them in the clinic.

"Oh dear, isn't this Rihito?" Ying was surprised to see that the injured person brought by Flavor and Adam was Rihito. "Did you two foreign players bully our Japanese players?"

Well, I have to say, the UK primary school really knows how to make international jokes...

Yingchu glanced at Liren's injuries briefly: "It's not a big problem. It didn't cause any serious injury. Just bandage it up, and he'll wake up in a bit."

After assigning a manager, Yingchu looked Huayin up and down, which made her feel uneasy.

"Flavor, you've already brought two people today, you're really got great stamina! How about we sign an organ donation contract so I can do an autopsy?"

"Doctor!" Nurse Yoshizawa began her daily, mentally exhausting task once again.

Hanon knew that Yingchu was being eccentric, so she didn't take it to heart. Instead, she joked, "It's not that I'm physically strong, it's just that they're too weak. Maybe you should dissect them and see why."

Since there wasn't much people in the infirmary, Huayin chatted with Yingchu for a while. It turned out that Yingchu had come to treat Yulei Ling's injuries after the first battle. Yulei had been beaten quite badly by Huayin. Although Yingchu's medical skills were superb and he was able to restore Yulei's arm to its original state, given the severity of the injury, Yulei would likely not recover for at least half a year.

"Yu Lei is such a stubborn person. He left the infirmary as soon as he woke up, not wanting to stay any longer," Ying Chu sighed. "I also think that President Cang Ji of Golden Entertainment isn't in a good mood. They're probably going to break up!"

Well, although Kanon dislikes the popular Mikazuki and Rino, it wasn't her intention to break them up in a single battle.

Just as they were feeling awkward, cheers erupted from the television in the infirmary; another match was about to begin.

Kuroki Gensai entered with his head held high, while Sawada Keizaburo, sitting opposite him, looked hesitant and preoccupied.

Flavor's previous words made him dare not underestimate Kuroki at all, after all, that terrifying guy had personally admitted that Kuroki was no weaker than him...

Sawada recalled Kanon's battle against Rito, then Kanon's duel with Mikazuki, and even Kanon's first-round duel with Setsuna, as well as Kanon's battle against Horo Yoshinari in the preliminaries. Every move of "Flavor" was clearly etched into his mind. Although he didn't want to admit it, Flavor Sand was indeed a super strong person that Sawada could not reach. He couldn't think of any way to defeat him.

Yes, not to mention Kuroki in front of him, the pressure from "Flavor" alone is pushing Sawada's mentality to the brink of collapse.

Just before entering the venue, Sawada had a conversation with his boss, Yoshiko Togawa, the president of MurderMusic.

"Sawada, you were hit by Kono Haruo in the first round. Are you alright?"

"It will have some impact, more or less. If you want to replace me, then I will."

"...I'm sorry, I don't know any fighters stronger than you. What's wrong with you? You seem so insecure."

"Sigh, here's what happened..."

"Wow, so Flavor is that powerful! And your opponent, Kuroki Gensai, is actually a super strong person that even Flavor acknowledges?"

"Yes, I'm sorry, I can't think of any way to win."

"...Hey, so what? If you want to fight, then fight. If you don't want to fight, then we'll forfeit! Although it's a bit of a pity, we're a small company with a very low ranking. You've already exceeded expectations by defeating Rentian and making it to the second round! I'll support whatever you choose from now on."

"Okay... thank you."

Back on the field, in this match of the second division, the referee was changed to the younger Momozaki Tashiro. This bespectacled man signaled to both sides to get ready: "Are you all ready?"

"Hmm..." Kuroki took a deep breath, preparing for battle.

He Luji conceded defeat in the first round, giving Kuroki a bye. After conserving his energy, he was in better shape and displayed the demeanor of a master. He was calm, composed, and confident. Clearly, no matter who his opponent was or what moves they made, nothing could shake Kuroki's confidence.

This is the strongest fighter in the Deadly Elimination Tournament that "Flavor" mentioned!

Seeing Kuroki's imposing presence, Sawada completely believed Kanon's words. "Flavor" was right; the man in front of him was not someone he could handle.

So instead of starting with a ballet step, Sawada raised his arms and said, "Sorry, I abstain."

"Huh? What did you say?"

Not only referee Tashiro, but even Kuroki was taken aback by the result. Although Sawada's strength was far inferior to his own, the fact that he forfeited also surprised Kuroki.

Kanon in the infirmary was also surprised: "Wow, Master Kuroki is so terrifying! Sawada was defeated without a fight!"

Well, it's clear that Kanon didn't realize that Sawada's withdrawal was actually her biggest fault.

The entire arena erupted in another uproar. In such an important match as the elimination round, someone actually forfeited. Not only did Kuroki witness this, but he witnessed it twice in a row...

"Damn it, is this a fixed match? Give us our money back, give us our money back!" The audience was very dissatisfied, and the gamblers who had bet on Sawada to win were the most upset.

Other viewers who had no vested interest also felt disappointed. The second round of matches was very exciting. Whether it was the conflict between Flavo and Mikazuki, or the hardcore brawl between Akoya and Tokita, it was all very interesting and unique. However, when it came to the battle between Kuroki and Sawada, Kuroki simply forfeited without making a single move, which was really disappointing.

Amidst the boos and jeers of the audience, Kuroki walked dejectedly back to the dressing room.

"This... is a situation I really didn't expect." Takakaze Kirito sighed deeply.

Kuroki had long since cultivated himself to the point of being unmoved by praise or criticism, and he didn't take the criticism from outsiders to heart. Instead, he comforted himself, saying, "It's alright, they're just some words to vent their emotions, don't take them to heart."

Kiri nodded: "I know. I'm just feeling quite emotional. I originally wanted Kanon to give up early, or for the knockout stage to go more smoothly, but I didn't expect Kanon to encounter such strong opponents all the way, while we've had such a smooth run."

Kuroki shook his head. Kirito now thinks of Kanon in everything he does. His niece-obsessed and parent-child-obsessed tendencies are beyond saving.

Author's Note: In two more matches, Hanon will be going to deal with Raian.

Section 178, Chapter 176: I Broke Women's Hearts

Having been in the new world for a long time, Kanon has formed bonds with many people. At this moment, it's not just Takakaze Kirito who misses her; at least Suoh Mieko and Wu Jialuo still think about Kanon. Well, although one of them is thinking about "Kanon" and the other is thinking about "Flavor"...

Kanon went to find Adam, but never returned. Miho and Garuda gradually grew impatient. After the second match ended, the two of them went down from the stands to check out the men's restroom to see what was so magical that had both Kanon and Adam gotten caught up in it.

However, before the two girls even reached the men's restroom, they encountered the film source's medical team on the way.

"Excuse me, excuse me! There's an injured person here! Please make way!" As the medical staff shouted, the pedestrians blocking the way quickly moved aside. These were all spectators who had come out for a break and naturally recognized the person lying on the stretcher as Aguya Kiyoaki, the fighter from the previous round.

After Akoya, the second medical team carried Tokita Ohma. Clearly, the match had taken a heavy toll on both sides. Although Ohma had strangled Akoya, he had suffered no less damage than his opponent and fell into a coma immediately after the match.

Hiyama Shunka and Yamashita Kazuo both stayed by their respective fighters' sides, their eyes filled with worry and affection—the former being love, and the latter friendship.

After the two stretchers passed by, Miho and Garuda walked a little further when suddenly someone ran up from behind. Miho didn't see it because she was too carefree, but Garuda was quick-witted and pulled her back to prevent her from being knocked down.

The person who came was Keizaburo Sawada, who had just voted in the match.

Miho and Garuda hadn't watched the third match, so they were unaware that Sawada had conceded defeat. They were quite surprised: "Hey, isn't that Sawada? Wasn't he a competitor in this match? What's he doing here?"

Sawada was clearly agitated and didn't pay much attention to Mihono. He just kept muttering, "Damn Flavor, it's all his fault. I wonder how Rito is doing..." as he ran quickly toward the medical room.

I see. Although I don't know exactly what happened, it's obvious that Kanon (Flavor) is probably in the infirmary!

It's quite interesting that since the start of the elimination tournament, Kanon has not suffered any serious injuries, yet she has gone to the infirmary time and time again, and has "sent" the most injured people in the entire tournament. It's as if she's taking good care of the infirmary's "business".

The two girls quickened their pace and arrived at the infirmary. As soon as they pushed open the door, they found Hana and Adam there.

"Darling!" Before Miho could even speak, the agile Garuda had already pounced into Kanon's arms: "I've been looking for you so hard! Let's have some babies!"

"Whoa..." Kanon was clearly caught off guard by the attack and immediately panicked.

Fortunately, someone in the infirmary came to Hanon's rescue: "You jerk, Flavo, stop showing off your love here!"

It was Rito who spoke. Just as Eiichi had said, his injuries weren't particularly serious; he'd only been knocked unconscious by Kanon and was now awake, though his eye sockets were bruised, making him look rather pathetic. Seeing "Flavor" give him a good beating and then immediately start showing off their affection in front of him, Rito's short temper flared up.

Hua Yue, seizing the opportunity, gently put Garuda down and coughed, "The competition has begun, let's watch it."

Garuda, however, was quite persistent. Even though he had been put down, he still leaned against Hanon and kept rubbing against her, making Hanon very embarrassed, afraid that she would be recognized as a woman disguised as a man.

Just then, the contestants from Steel Generation and Iwami Heavy Industries were entering the arena when Katahara Sayaka loudly announced, "He's here! 'Prison Angel' Sekibayashi Jun is entering—wait, huh?"

Everyone was taken aback. Guan Linchun, who walked out of the contestant passage, had a peculiar appearance. His face was covered in flour, pale as death, and the two Chinese characters "Tianyu" were written on it. His appearance was very strange.

Guan Lin's actions left most people completely bewildered. Only a few familiar with Japanese wrestling understood the situation, and these individuals were even more distraught: "Ma...Ma...Marvelous Guan! The legendary [Deathmatch Mode] has been revived!"

Um, what's that?

In the infirmary, Dr. Yingchu, familiar with the concept, explained to everyone, "Wrestling matches have a large performance element. The wrestlers follow 'storylines' and establish 'personas.' Hell Sky Marvelous Guan was one of Guan Linchun's personas, a vicious wrestler supposedly summoned from hell. Although he was only active for a year, he had a huge impact on the industry..."

Later, Yingchu talked about many strange events that happened to Guanlin under this character setting, which left everyone stunned. Well, Hanon doesn't dislike this kind of character setting maniac, but most people would probably find it boring.

The term "most people" also includes Guan Lin's rival, Mutba.

"Heh, after the mad dog, this time the opponent is the clown... Whatever, let's just end this farce quickly."

On the other hand, Katahara Sayaka received another notification, which announced: "Ah, the Steel Generation has used its power to change fighters, and their representative has been changed from Sekibayashi Jun to Marvelous Seki!"

"Tsk, is this farce not over yet?" Mutba snorted, unconcerned.

"What an idiot uncle!" Ghost King Mountain Lord, who had fought Guan Lin in the first round and had developed a mutual respect with him, was also a little dissatisfied: "To actually use the precious right to change fighters on this kind of predetermined battle of egos, even if you're going to put on an act, you should at least consider the situation!"

Of course, Guan Lin himself was only excited. He put on a fierce look and provoked, "Hahaha, listen up, mercenary, I'm going to use the Demon Realm's fighting style to beat you so badly you'll never be able to get up again!"

"Phew, I know, I know, you should stop now, have mercy on me." Mutba just looked indifferent, neither cooperating nor scolding.

"Hey, darling, who do you think will win?" The two on the battlefield were about to clash, while Garuda was also developing a relationship with her "lover". But when she turned her head to ask the question, she found that the person next to her had been replaced by the nurse Yoshizawa Kokomi. And the "Flavor" who had been "switched" had already quietly sneaked to the door of the infirmary.

"Ah, my dear, why are you running away from me?" Garuda hurriedly chased after her, which further agitated Hanon. She was so frightened that she used all her strength and sped away. The two chased for a while, but in the end, Garuda was a step behind and could not find Hanon, so she returned empty-handed.

Garuda was a little sad now, because feelings can't be about giving all the time; it's very disheartening to not get anything in return.

Garuda didn't even feel like returning to the infirmary; instead, she walked sadly back to the Wu clan's settlement.

"Ah, did little Garuda go out to play with her friends just now?" Backstage, Huiliyang, the old patriarch of the Wu clan, was overjoyed to see his beloved great-granddaughter return. He opened his arms to welcome his beloved junior, and then he saw Garuda's tears.

After being rejected by "Flavor", Garuda cried sadly. Looking at it this way, Kanon is really guilty of a lot!

"Ah...Little Garuda?"

"Waaah, Grandpa, Flavor doesn't want me anymore..."
