Fairy Tail: This Healing Mage's hits hurt so much!

The whole of Magnolia was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and the festive spirit was everywhere.

The streets were lined with colorful ribbons and lanterns, and the air was filled with the aroma of roasted meat and sweet wine.

All sorts of merchants gathered from all corners of the Kingdom of Fiore to set up stalls in Magnolia, their cries of war adding to the lively atmosphere of the harvest festival.

Gray, Lucy, and Juvia walked down the street, marveling at the excitement of the Harvest Festival while also complaining about Laxus.

"That's just how Laxus is."

Gray put his hands behind his head.

Just then, a voice came from behind them.

"He's still the same as always."

The three of them turned to look at each other.

Gray's eyes lit up, and a smile spread across his face.

"Warren! Long time no see!"

Warren grinned, raised his hand and waved at Gray, his forehead still damp with the light sweat from his journey.

"Luckily, I made it in time for the harvest festival. I almost didn't make it back. My legs are about to break from running."

Gray glanced at him sideways and made a sarcastic remark without holding back.

"Serves you right for taking on so many jobs at once."

Warren rubbed his forehead, a bitter look on his face.

"I saw Riyao taking on so many jobs at once, and on a whim, I wanted to try it too. I almost worked myself to death on the way here. What kind of monster is Riyao anyway?"

Lucy stood with her hands on her hips, both amused and exasperated.

"Wow, Riyao actually takes on so many assignments? Usually, he's either farming or eating sunflower seeds..."

Juvia stepped forward, bowed slightly, her short blue hair fluttering gently in the autumn breeze, and a shy smile on her face.

"Hello, I'm Juvia, the new guy. Nice to meet you."

Warren gave her a curious look.

"I know you. Please take care of me in the future."

Lucy suddenly exclaimed "Ah!" and clapped her hands sharply.

"Oh no! The Fairy Tail Miss Contest is about to begin!"

Without saying a word, she took off running towards the guild, her blonde hair flying behind her.

"I'm late! I'm late!"

A strong aura of resentment instantly emanated from Juvia, water swirled around her, and her eyes sharpened.

"I will not lose to Miss Lucy."

Gray sighed helplessly as he watched the two react in completely different ways.

"Did you all participate...?"

……

The guild hall was completely transformed, with colorful flags fluttering and a bustling atmosphere.

The audience below the stage was packed so tightly that the men's cheers almost lifted the roof off.

Max stood on the stage as the host, wearing a shiny suit and with his hair slicked back, picking up the microphone and shouting at the top of his lungs.

"Everyone! The long-awaited Fairy Tail Miss Contest is about to begin!"

The audience erupted in cheers and screams.

Max cleared his throat and deliberately dragged out his words.

"Next up is our guest number one! A stunningly beautiful woman with an otherworldly stomach! Kana Alberona!"

Kana walked out from the side of the stage, dressed warmly for the first time in a long time, wrapped up in a long-sleeved coat, and winked mysteriously at the audience.

Just as the audience was wondering, she flipped her wrist, and the card flew out from between her fingers, drawing an arc in the air.

Water splashed up with a "whoosh," and the long dress vanished in the light, instantly transforming into a cool swimsuit. Her wet, brown hair clung to her shoulders, and the card spun back into her hand.

The men in the audience gasped in surprise, then erupted in deafening cheers.

Max wiped the sweat from his brow and continued shouting.

"Next up is our second guest! Though a newcomer, she possesses S-class strength! A stunning beauty who's constantly dripping with rain! Juvia Roxsa!"

Juvia walked slowly onto the stage, her hands folded in front of her, looking obedient and well-behaved. Her short blue hair made her look exceptionally pure, and she appeared slightly nervous with her cheeks flushed.

She took a deep breath, water surging around her, mist rising, her dress turning into water droplets that scattered, revealing a light blue swimsuit, water droplets slowly sliding down her collarbone.

This stark contrast drew cheers from the audience, who were initially shy but instantly became captivatingly sexy.

Max got more and more excited as he shouted.

"Next up is our guest number 3! Her beauty has captivated the entire continent! Mirajane Strauss!"

Mirajane stood obediently in the center of the stage, her long silver hair shimmering softly under the lights, and her white dress made her look like an angel who had stepped out of a painting.

She tilted her head, gave a sweet smile, and with a light tap of her fingertip, activated the transformation magic.

That delicate face instantly transformed into a hobby-like cat face, leaving the audience stunned for a moment.

Before they could even react, Gajeel's fierce, iron-faced expression reappeared, creating a stark contrast with Mirajane's gentle stance, resulting in an incredibly incongruous scene.

The audience below the stage fell into a deathly silence, as if struck by lightning.

Then an even more frenzied burst of laughter and cheers erupted; some people were slapping their thighs with laughter, while others were laughing so hard that tears streamed down their faces.

"Next up is our guest number 4! The Fairy Queen, Erza Scarlett!"

Erza strode onto the stage, her long red hair billowing behind her, exuding an imposing aura.

A flash of white light, the costume-changing magic activated, and the audience held their breath in anticipation.

As the light faded, Erza made a dazzling appearance in an exquisite Gothic Lolita outfit.

Her black lace skirt billowed out, and she wore a small bow hair accessory. She lifted the skirt with both hands and gave a slight curtsy.

This was completely different from Erza's usual serious and dignified demeanor. The audience was stunned for half a second, followed by a burst of cheers, and some people were so excited that they stood up.

"Next up is our guest number 5! A perfect blend of cuteness and intelligence! Levy Markugarden!"

Levy skipped and hopped onto the stage, her blue twin tails swaying with her movements, and her eyes behind her round-framed glasses curved into crescents.

She used her word magic, and the two large characters "cute" appeared in the air, transforming into petals and stars falling from the sky, adding a dreamy backdrop to herself, making her look like she was standing in a fairy tale world.

Among the audience, Jade and Troy were the most excited, waving their arms and shouting at the top of their lungs.

"Levy! Levy! Levy!" My voice was almost hoarse from shouting.

"Next up is our guest number 6! The wild Western gunslinger! Bisca Mullan!"

Bisca strode onto the stage, dressed extremely boldly in a leather jacket, leather boots, and a short skirt, exuding a wild style.

With a blade of grass dangling from her lips, she casually tossed a few bottles into the air. As the bottles spun in the air, she drew a sniper rifle from her waist.

With a few sharp "bangs," the bottle exploded in mid-air, the fragments and liquor bursting like fireworks under the lights.

The audience erupted in cheers at the performance, with Alzak being the most enthusiastic, standing up and clapping until his hands were red and his eyes were full of stars.

"Next up is our guest number 7! The guild's mascot, the representative of the girl next door! Lisana Strauss!"

Lisana ran onto the stage with a grin, her short white hair shimmering softly under the lights. She clasped her hands together, cast a transformation spell, and a pink glow emanated from her body.

As the light faded, she had transformed into a fluffy bunny, her long pink ears twitching, her little nose twitching, and her head tilting towards the audience.

The audience was melted by the sight of the adorable Lisana, and cheers rose in waves.

"Next up is our guest number 8! Her radiance is guided by the Protoss! Lucy Har..."

"I'll introduce myself!" Lucy jumped out quickly, interrupting Max's last name, and glared at him with her hands on her hips.

She changed into a vibrant cheerleading outfit, held a colorful pom-pom, and danced a lively cheerleading dance. Her blonde ponytail swayed back and forth with each jump, and she smiled brightly.

The audience clapped along to the beat, creating a lively atmosphere.

Max paused deliberately, flipping through the cards in his hand, a mysterious smile playing on his lips, and lowered his voice.

"Next up is our guest number 9! Her mysterious background is fascinating; she's said to be Mirajane's cousin! Blue Strauss!"

A figure slowly emerged from the side of the screen, dressed in a light blue cheongsam.

Her long, dark green hair flowed freely, cascading down like a waterfall, the ends curling with tiny wisps of emerald light.

Golden pupils slowly swept across the entire arena, with a shimmering light seemingly flowing deep within their pupils, carrying a captivating allure.

A pair of winding dragon horns stand proudly from the sides of the forehead, with fine patterns on the surface of the horns and a faint green light emanating from the tips.

The dark green dragon tail behind it swayed leisurely, its scales reflecting a faint blue light under the lamp.

He walked to the center of the stage, his steps as light as if he were walking on the wind.

He tilted his head slightly, revealing a half-smile to the audience below, the curve of his lips just right, both lazy and flamboyant.

The audience was initially deathly silent, then erupted into a frenzy, with screams and whistles nearly shaking the hall to its core.

When Lucy, Gray, Natsu, and the others saw the familiar dragon horns, the familiar eye color, and the familiar tail, their eyes twitched in unison.

Gray's lips twitched, and he muttered under his breath, "That guy's here again..."

Lucy's temples throbbed with veins, and she gritted her teeth.

"I knew he wouldn't miss the chance to wear women's clothes... What did he stuff inside?"

Natsu and Happy slammed their fists on the table and burst into laughter, almost laughing themselves to death.
