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

"Kana, did your irresponsible father, Gildarts, give you the courage? You even dared to barge into my dorm room."

Riyao crossed his arms and deliberately put on a stern face to scare her.

"Hmph, Brother Riyao, don't try to scare me. I'm here with extremely important top-secret information."

Kana proudly raised her head, her chin almost touching the sky, striking a haughty pose as if to say, "Come and fawn over me, bribe me!"

Riyao was gently shaking a bottle of unknown potion that was bubbling with strange purple bubbles when he heard this. He turned to look at Kana, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.

"Oh? What top-secret information? Never mind the information for now. Come, come, little Kana, try my newly developed 'Super Invincible All-Round Tonic' potion. I guarantee it will make you feel a hundred times more energetic."

Kana looked at the bottle of strangely colored, bubbling liquid, her face turned pale with fright, and she quickly crossed her arms in front of her chest, shaking her head like a rattle-drum, refusing in a rapid-fire voice.

"No way! I don't want to be your guinea pig!"

"It's about Gray! That guy Gray came up with a really insidious plan to officially challenge you in the guild. He even threatened to beat you up this time and make you beg for mercy on your knees."

After listening, Riyao nonchalantly picked his nose and casually flicked the stuff he had just picked out into the bubbling potion.

The potion's color instantly changed from purple to an eerie fluorescent green. He said nonchalantly, "Him? Not that I look down on him, but right now, I reckon Gray couldn't even beat a little girl like you."

"Ugh! What are you doing! That's disgusting!"

Kana pointed at the bottle of potion and screamed, then suddenly realized something and her expression changed drastically.

"Wait! You didn't add this disgusting stuff to any of those weird potions you gave me before, did you?!"

"And what did you mean by that just now? What do you mean by 'even' I can't beat you? And you specifically emphasized 'now'? Are you looking down on my magical talent?!"

Kana grew angrier the more she thought about it, and she pounced on him, raining blows on Riyao.

Riyao let Kana punch him for a while, then slowly stood up.

He straightened his disheveled collar, a mischievous yet extremely "kind" smile spreading across his face. He chuckled and said, "Alright, alright, stop fooling around. Let's go! We'll head back to the guild now and see what kind of 'huge' surprise Little Gray has prepared for me. Hopefully, he can hold out a little longer."

Sunburst swaggered into the guild hall with Kana, saying arrogantly, "I heard there's some brat named Gray who's not happy about this."

Kana, who was following behind, couldn't help but roll her eyes and muttered, "Brother Riyao, what kind of weird opening line is this? It sounds like a cannon fodder villain from a third-rate novel who won't survive more than two chapters."

Gray jumped out, pointed at Sunshine, and shouted, "I wasn't paying attention this morning, but I'm much stronger now than I was this morning."

"So? Where are your clothes?"

"Huh? When did I take it off?!" Gray looked down and realized that he had somehow managed to fling his shirt off again.

His face flushed red, and he frantically tried to cover it up, but he quickly forced himself to calm down and shouted with his neck stiff.

"No! Forget about the clothes! That's not important!"

Gray took a deep breath and struck what he considered an extremely cool and provocative pose.

He stretched out his left hand, placed his right hand on his left wrist, clenched his left hand into a fist, and then slowly extended his index finger, beckoning it to Riyao, saying in an extremely irritating tone, "You, come here~"

Riyao stared at the seemingly mentally challenged boy in front of him, his face filled with speechlessness. He suddenly felt that he had wasted his life by coming all this way to accept this idiot's challenge.

"I suddenly don't really want to talk to this idiot anymore. I feel like intelligence is contagious."

Sunlight turned his head and whispered to Kana beside him.

However, the others in the guild didn't think so. Always eager for drama, the crowd immediately erupted into a commotion, like a powder keg that had been lit.

"Oh my god! Gray's going to challenge Sunburst again! Place your bets now! How long can Gray last this time? A minute or half a minute?!"

"Go for it, Gray! Defeat that evil, cunning Sunburst!"

"Little Gray, although your chances of winning are slim, I absolutely believe in you!"

Amidst the clamor and commotion, Riyao sighed helplessly. He walked forward slowly, each step appearing so relaxed and carefree.

Gray, on the other hand, was on high alert and immediately assumed a fighting stance.

With a loud shout, an ice-blue magic circle instantly unfolded beneath his feet, causing the surrounding air temperature to plummet, and even tiny ice crystals could be seen condensing in the air.

"Ice-inspired Spiked Armor!"

With Gray's shout, a thick layer of frost rapidly spread across his entire body, forming a sturdy suit of armor. Even more astonishingly, countless sharp ice spikes sprouted densely from the surface of this frost armor, gleaming with a chilling light in the sunlight.

At this moment, Gray was like a hedgehog covered in ice spikes, making him impossible to approach.

Seeing this, Riyao scratched his head and asked with disdain, "This is the underhanded trick you came up with?"

Gray puffed out his chest, smiled confidently, and said smugly, "How about that? You're too scared to try?"

"Wow! Gray, that was brilliant! That was a killer move!"

"Exactly! Let's teach this delinquent healing mage a lesson! Let him know we're not to be trifled with!"

Suddenly, Sunburst moved, instantly appearing in front of Gray, grinning, grabbing Gray's ankle, spinning him around without jumping, abruptly stopping and tossing him into the crowd.

"Ouch! Gray, you idiot, put the thorns away right now!" Marcao cursed, clutching his buttocks which had been pierced with several small holes.

"Sunburst! You despicable bastard! Let's fight one-on-one if you dare!" Wakaba roared angrily while dodging the ice spikes on Gray's body.

Riyao burst into laughter: "Hahaha, serves you right. Of course, if you need treatment, you can come to me, it's free."

"Get out! I'd rather die than see a quack like you! Everyone, attack! Prepare to die!"

This directly triggered a daily chaotic brawl in the guild lobby.

Laxus, who was leaning against the corner wall with his eyes closed listening to music, was hit by a wine glass that appeared out of nowhere. He shouted angrily, "Sunshine, you bastard, I'll beat the shit out of you today!"

Riyao pointed to himself, looking completely bewildered, and said, "I didn't drink any alcohol. You're just being stubborn and picking a fight."

At that moment, several ordinary residents of Magnolia Town happened to pass by the Fairy Tail guild.

They stopped in their tracks, listening to the deafening noise, explosions, and screams coming from inside, and watching the tables and chairs flying out of the windows from time to time.

They exchanged a glance, sighed in unison, and then silently quickened their pace, taking a detour.

For this town, it was just another ordinary afternoon in Fairy Tail.
