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

"He dodged it?" Bando remained calm, almost cold, analyzing the situation: "I attacked so quickly, he shouldn't have had any room to dodge. Did his muscle distribution change the moment he escaped? Could it be that Flavor Sand can freely control his muscles?"

Bando is truly a genius! He analyzed the indestructible body from the very beginning, and now he's getting closer to the truth about Kanon's muscle manipulation. Just now, when Kanon was in danger, she quickly dispersed the muscles in her torso, making her body a little thinner, which allowed her to escape the strangulation.

However, Bando's biggest discovery was not Kanon's muscle manipulation.

"What surprised me even more was that... Frauvo Sander was actually a woman."

Hanon's "Flavor Set" is basically made by simply wrapping the upper body and face with bandages, leaving only the eyes and hair exposed. Then, depending on the situation, a tight-fitting top will be put on, along with a hat and jacket, making the outfit look very masculine. At most, people will think that Flavor is a delicate and slender man with beautiful and refined eyes, but given the preconceived notion, they will not recognize this fighter as a girl.

Hanon even deliberately chose loose and long pants to slightly cover her feet, otherwise, people would think her feet were too white and delicate, not like a man's feet.

Bando's attack destroyed Kanon's hat and jacket, revealing the bodysuit underneath. Most people would probably still think Kanon was a man at this point, but who is Bando? A legitimate medical doctor from Teito University, his understanding of the human body is among the top two in the Kengan Association, the only one who can rival him is Hideaki, who is also a doctor.

So after a quick glance at Kanon, who was wearing a tight top and a corset, Bando immediately determined that "Flavor" was a girl. Her full chest was clearly not the shape of a man's pectoral muscles—she was a girl who had her chest bound!

Upon hearing Bando's words, Kanon gasped. In terms of intensity, her fight with Bando might not have been as fierce as her fight with Setsuna or Mikazuki, but the shock she received from this battle was relentless and she couldn't stop.

"That guy is so annoying!" Hanon exclaimed sincerely, while reaching out to touch the door. Having just escaped Bando's clutches, Hanon had come to a position very close to the door. If she wanted to leave now, Bando could no longer stop her. However, Hanon did not open the door; instead, she locked it.

No way! The secret of her being a woman has been exposed. How can we not deal with this properly? Let alone killing Bando on the spot—after all, there are several fighters who know Kanon's identity, and it's not worth silencing them all—we should at least explain things to Bando and reach a consensus so that he won't go around talking about it.

"Oh? Being exposed as your daughter actually ignited your fighting spirit? That's good, it's beneficial for the research." Bando's curiosity about Kanon continued to grow: "Your punches are so powerful that even men can't match them, and for a woman to achieve that level is truly a physiological miracle! Flavor Sander, is the true face hidden under your bandages even human?"

Both sides were inclined to continue fighting, so the third round of this battle naturally came soon.

This time, Bando's feet also began to move, and combined with the extremely long attack range of his hand blades, he became a living storm, destroying everything in his path. The ground, equipment, furniture, and decorations all shattered and cracked in front of Bando's hand blades.

Bando is undeniably incredibly strong, yet he doesn't seem to know much about martial arts. His physical talent alone has allowed him to reach such a level, making him almost as overpowered as Kanon. Fighting him offers little opportunity for improvement in martial arts, and one must constantly be careful not to fall into his traps – a truly thankless and exhausting experience, like dancing on a knife's edge. That's what makes Bando so annoying.

Faced with Bando's offensive, Kanon, who had re-entered the battle, could only dodge for a time. Fortunately, she was able to maintain her composure during the battle, putting aside her tactical dilemmas and worries about being recognized as a woman, and thinking of a way to break the deadlock.

Relying on "pre-borrowing" to overpower others with sheer force? It's likely feasible, but the losses would be too great, making it uneconomical.

Close-quarters combat, relying on ultimate prediction to win? Hanon hasn't reached that level yet; that's a fighting style only Uncle Kuroki can use.

The new technique that you "trained" with the source material's guardian, Aio, all night the night before last? Hmm, I'm still not very proficient at using it, and besides, it wasn't very effective against Bando's "attack net."

Bando's next opponent is Izumi Hatsumi. I really wonder how that slovenly old man will handle it...

After much thought, it seems that the only effective method left for Hanon is using a finger razor.

If Bando's natural talent for joint flexibility and Kanon's "cheat code" of muscle control are similar, like two sides of the same coin, then Kanon's "indestructible" ability can withstand impacts but not severance. Bando is probably the same; he is not afraid of joint locks and strangulation techniques, and even throws and strikes are only half as effective against him. However, severance damage can truly threaten him.

Braving Bando's barrage of whip-like attacks, Kanon struggled to approach him.

While Bando's "attack net" is indeed complex and seemingly endless, after watching it a few times, one will find that Bando's attacks only have two patterns: downward slashes and horizontal sweeps. Even if his hands are flailing wildly, there are still underlying patterns to follow. With Kanon's martial arts skills, it is impossible for her to directly counterattack, but it is not difficult to simply close the distance. The key is to accurately observe the starting stance in order to determine Bando's attack method and route.

"Excellent!" Finally, Bando entered the attack range of Kanon's arm and could use the Finger Razor—so what were they waiting for? Kanon swung her arm and "chopped" at Bando.

Bando's expression remained unchanged, as cold as ever: "What a reckless girl. Do you really think you can see through me?"

Section 182, Chapter 180: The Great External Cut, Hanon Resembles Her

With those words, Bando suddenly broke through Kanon's finger razor technique. His dislocated arm joint could both extend and retract, allowing him to expand his attack range and, when necessary, spring back to protect himself. It took Kanon quite a while to get close to Bando, giving Bando ample time to consider Kanon's intentions and prepare this countermeasure well in advance.

The rebounding arms deflected Kanon's attack, and now it was Bando's time to counterattack! He would risk inflaming his shoulder joints to retract his arms as quickly as possible, determined to launch an attack before Kanon could react!

The more critical the moment, the more likely there will be a reversal. Bando watched as Kanon's arms were bounced away, and her speed of returning to help was not as fast as the speed of his own arms. If he could hit Kanon first, he could cause great damage and establish a decisive victory... However, the situation changed again.

While Kanon's arms couldn't reach him in time, a person has four limbs. If his hands were useless, wouldn't his feet be just as useless? Unbeknownst to Bando, Kanon raised a leg, her fair foot kicking Bando's torso, then twisting upwards along his torso, leaving a bloody gash on Bando's arm.

Yes, it was cut!

Since Kanon can use precise muscle control to strike Rito's "razor" with her fingers, how different would it be if she used her toes? While ordinary people's toes are certainly not as flexible as their fingers, for the overpowered Kanon, this operation actually requires very little skill. In fact, the strength of her toes is greater than that of her fingers, and the "razor" is more effective, something that even the original Rito could not do.

Of course, while using the toe razor move solely through innate talent requires little skill, Kanon could still add a touch of sophistication to the technique. Kanon's kick was delivered with full force, the immense impact lifting Bando's nearly 150-kilogram body upwards. Although it didn't send him flying, it severely disrupted Bando's balance, causing him to lean backwards as if he were standing upright.

In a duel between masters, losing balance means losing control of the body. The moment Bando lost his balance, the outcome of the battle was decided.

Next came Kanon's rapid, razor-slicing toes, a pure, one-sided torment... Although this move was used naturally by Kanon, the source of its inspiration, like "Cosmic Illusion," can be found in the King of Fighters game, specifically in the "Great Outer Slash" skill of a female character named Weisi.

If you think about it more deeply, Kanon's current short hairstyle is somewhat similar to Weiss's... Ah, Kanon is reminded that Bando knows her secret of being a girl. It's probably better to silence her!

Although it was just a thought and not a real intention to kill, Kanon's "Great Outer Slash" still used a bit more force. Bando's body was covered in blood, his skin was torn and bleeding, and he looked really miserable. In particular, the force of Kanon's kicks kept disrupting his center of gravity, making it very difficult for him to regain his balance. One wrong step led to another, and he was trapped in a desperate situation from which he could not turn back.

There were no miracles or unexpected reversals. In this situation, Kanon completely took the initiative until she felt it was enough and withdrew her attack, and the battle came to an end... Well, it wasn't entirely without its ups and downs. The moment Kanon withdrew her leg, Bando actually still had the strength to fight again. Covered in blood, he rushed towards Kanon, seemingly intending to lock her down and deliver a "sister-in-arms kill".

Bando's hands were dislocated at the same time, giving him an exceptionally long attack range, which was indeed an advantage when grabbing someone. However, his stamina was already depleted, and he lacked both speed and strength. At most, his remaining strength startled Kanon for a moment before he was met with a counterattack.

Kanon saw Bando rushing towards her, first dodged, then grabbed Bando's clothes and twisted her leg – this move is also called "Great Outer Cut", but it is a judo technique, and it is a technique that Kanon is very familiar with. However, because Setsuna and Mikazuki, whom she has encountered in the final match, are both difficult opponents to grab, Kanon did not use it. As a result, she used it against Bando.

"Thud!" Bando fell heavily to the ground and could not get up again.

Hanon wiped her sweat, and stopped speaking in her gruff voice, reverting to her feminine tone: "Phew, now you're behaving yourself." Seeing that Bando didn't speak, she kicked him again: "Hey, you're not dead yet?"

"...I lost." Bando remained so calm even after being brutally beaten. He truly deserves the title of the ultimate serial killer; his mental fortitude is remarkable.

"Alright, let's talk." Hanon sat down cross-legged, waving her clenched fist in front of Bando's eyes: "Don't reveal my secrets, or I really will kill you."

“No, you won’t.” Bando’s tone was devoid of emotion: “If you were capable of killing, you would have killed me with that round of kicks just now. I had absolutely no ability to resist.”

Kanon was helpless because Bando was right. After embarking on the path of martial arts, it was common to beat up opponents, and some particularly annoying guys were even seriously injured. However, killing was still a bottom line issue, and Kanon could never do it. She could only talk about it occasionally.

"...Then I'm begging you?" Hanon's attitude softened a bit, and she started using both soft and hard tactics: "Otherwise, I'll cut your tongue off."

"Are you the kind of person who would cripple someone?" Bando's cold gaze made Kanon feel uncomfortable. Sure enough, this guy saw through her again. Kanon wasn't the kind of person who would intentionally cripple her opponents.

Hanon shrugged: "So you're really going to tell my secret?"

At this moment, Kanon had made up her mind. While her identity would certainly cause many troubles after being exposed—such as Garuda's affections, being the first female fighter in the history of the Kengan Association, and being the niece of the Takakaze family—it wouldn't fundamentally harm Kanon. The worst-case scenario would be disqualification from the competition, which Kanon could handle. If Bando dared to go around spreading rumors and causing a series of problems, Kanon would beat him up every time she saw him, starting with chasing him for a month!

However, Bando backed down: "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

"Huh?" The fighting spirit that had just been ignited on Hanon's side was extinguished again...

“Revealing your identity won’t do me any good. I’m not one to meddle in other people’s business,” Bando said. “Besides, you’re much stronger than me. If you keep chasing me, it will only bother me.”

Whoa! Hanon was stunned. She had heard that Bando used to be a medical doctor. Could he be a psychologist? It was like he could read minds. She couldn't do anything about him.

"Well, alright then... I'm leaving." With the dust settled, thinking back on this battle, it really was inexplicable. She was stopped by Bando just like that, and ended up covered in blood. Some of it was flowing from Kanon's forehead, but most of it was splattered on Bando's body. But no matter what, Kanon had to go change her clothes first.

Author's Note: Wei Si is more mature, but she can definitely be used as a styling reference for Kanon. Kanon is shorter than her, more innocent-looking, and has more toned muscles.

Section 183, Chapter 181: The Wu Clan and Flavor

Before Kanon left, Bando spoke again.

"Actually, now that I've been defeated by you and am lying on the ground feeling completely powerless, I've calmed down a lot."

Although Kanon always felt that Bando was calm, indifferent, and ruthless, in reality, very few people are truly without emotional fluctuations, and Bando hadn't reached that level yet.

After calming down, Bando explained to Kanon why he attacked her: "I think I didn't really want to study you... After the first round of fighting with Ei-kun, I had some strange feelings. Now that I think about it, it was probably the feeling of 'wanting to win' that warriors have... Flavor, I should really want to beat you."

So Kanon was "tempted by the predator"? That could explain why Bando insisted on attacking her.

Shrugging, Hana said helplessly, "Next time you want to fight, remember to find a proper occasion, or at least tell others what you're thinking and ask for their consent!"

"You're right." Bando readily agreed. "May I seek revenge against you someday?"

"...Please allow me to refuse."

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

After laughing it off, Kanon left the room. She believed that Bando wouldn't be able to participate in the upcoming battle with Hatsumi, but what did that have to do with Kanon?

After finishing her [beep], no, after the fight, Kanon ran away and went back to Suoh Seiji's rest room, intending to change her clothes before going to the arena.

After a while, I wonder if Guan Lin and Mutba's fight has ended? The next match is against "Tiger" Wakatsuki Samurai, whose fights are quick. The first round will be decided by two punches. If you don't hurry, you might miss your match... Of course, Wakatsuki's opponent is that "Big Monster" Julius. Regardless of who is stronger between them, just looking at his size, you know he can take a beating. I believe Wakatsuki won't be able to finish the fight quickly!

Just as Kanon reached the door of the lounge, she heard people talking inside. At this time, the only people who would be in the Suoh Steel lounge were Miho, Adam, or the fisherman uncle, all of whom were acquaintances. But just as Kanon was about to push the door open, she heard a loud crash from inside, as if a table and chairs had been overturned.

"What's wrong?" Hanon was startled, then heard Miho scream from inside the room: "Adam, are you alright!"

Then came Adam's voice: "I'm fine, I just tripped and fell. Boss, step back, I need to talk to this bastard..."

"Hahaha..." There were obviously other people in the room, and they burst into extremely arrogant laughter. The voice was very familiar—it was Wu Lei'an.

"Scum, what right do you have to talk back to me?" Wu Lei'an said disdainfully, "Isn't it you who's going to fight me next? I plan to torture and kill you in front of everyone, so you're not allowed to come and die prematurely."

"Fvck!" After getting to know Kanon, Adam's temper was much better than before, but he still wouldn't let Raian insult him to his face without fighting back. After being mocked, he directly threw a heavy punch.

Wu Lei'an smiled disdainfully. Arrogant as he was, he simply raised one hand and blocked Adam's punching path. In his eyes, no one could truly hurt him, and Adam was not qualified.

Emmm, it's not wrong to say that Adam is far inferior to Lei'an, but everyone has their own expertise. Adam's erector spinae strength is unparalleled. His all-out punch, though not fast or skillful, was undeniably powerful. Wu Lei'an weighs only 94 kilograms. Even if he is strong, he still has to follow the basic laws of physics. After blocking the punch, he was still forced back several steps by the huge impact.

"Heh, that's pretty powerful!" Although Wu Lei'an was blasted back by Adam, he was completely unharmed. As he retreated, he didn't forget to continue his threats: "You're courting death, so there's nothing I can do. Then I'll... huh?"

Wu Lei'an took a few steps back to the door, and suddenly sensed that there seemed to be... murderous intent outside!

The killing intent was quite ferocious, almost materializing, which triggered Wu Lei'an's beast-like instincts to go off the rails. Unfortunately, he didn't have time to dodge.

With a "crash," a bandaged arm smashed through the door of the lounge and grabbed Wu Lei'an by the neck from behind as he retreated.

"Crack... Ah... Ugh..." Although the hand gripping Lei'an's neck was small, the fingers were long and the grip was extremely strong. Even someone as strong as Wu Lei'an could not break free. His trachea was constantly compressed, and he could not even speak. A wave of dizziness surged into his brain.

The feeling of helplessness at that moment even drove Lei An to activate "Liberation," but even so, he was powerless against his opponent. The strength on that arm increased along with Lei An's "Liberation," and it still held on tightly and refused to let go...

Of course, all of this happened in less than a second. Once Lei'an was under control, the arm yanked backward with a loud crash. The door panel shattered completely. Amid everyone's exclamations of "Ah, it's Fulavo!", Wu Lei'an was pulled outside and slammed against the corridor wall with such force that he was embedded in it.

This was of course made by Kanon.

Just kidding, how dare you bully Mihono? Kanon is furious, and the consequences will be severe!

However, after doing all that, Hanon was surprised to find that besides Miho, Adam, and Raian, there were actually several other people in the room, including the old patriarch of the Wu clan, Wu Lianyi with short blond hair, Wu Jueqi with long black curly hair, and Wu Juexiong, a fat uncle with a mustache. The Wu clan members filled the room, and several pairs of eerie purple-red eyes looked over, which was like the gaze of demons. The sense of oppression was ridiculously strong!

Anyway, it's these guys.jpg
