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

A golden magic circle appeared behind Lucy, and with a flash of light, a scorpion tail shot out from her lower back.

The metallic tail lashed out in an arc through the air, striking Natsu squarely in the face as he charged forward.

Snapped!

Natsu was sent flying, tumbling twice in the air before crashing into the fence at the edge of the training field with a bang, cracking the stone fence.

Riyao held up the megaphone prop, instantly switched to a commentary style, and spoke with great passion.

"Wow!! Lucy's move was brilliant! She instantly unleashed a shoddy version of Celestial Spirit Cloth, sprouting a scorpion tail and sending Natsu flying! Natsu is such a loser, hahaha!"

Gray crossed his arms and smirked; he would never miss an opportunity to mock Natsu.

"That idiot underestimated Lucy. Well done, Lucy! Fight me later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Juvia, who was standing next to Gray, instantly switched to a fighting expression, exuding a sinister black aura, and staring intently at Lucy.

"A love rival..."

Lucy felt a chill run down her spine under Juvia's gaze. Just as she was about to explain, Natsu sprang to his feet with a somersault.

He twisted his waist and stretched his neck, a red mark from a scorpion's tail imprinted on his face, yet he smiled even more happily than before.

"Lucy's amazing! Then I won't hold back!"

Natsu slammed his fists together, and flames exploded from his fists, burning even brighter than before.

A hint of blue shone through the orange-red flames, and the heat was so intense that even the audience could feel it.

"Show me some respect, you idiot!"

Lucy's lips twitched when she saw Natsu's expression.

Oh no, this guy's getting serious.

She dared not delay, raising her hand to summon Scorpio back, while simultaneously taking out another key from her waist.

My finger traced across the keychain, and there it was—it was you.

"Leo, Leo! Open the door!"

A golden magic circle spread out on the ground, its light even more dazzling than before.

Leo emerged from the light, impeccably dressed in a suit and wearing sunglasses.

As soon as he stepped onto the field, he calmly waved to the sidelines.

"Long time no see, everyone! Did you miss me?"

"Loki, you bastard, you never even come back to check on things!"

"He's not called Loki anymore, he's called Leo."

Lucy kicked Leo in the shin, almost making him lose all his elegance.

"Natsu's charging! Stop talking!"

Leo immediately stopped smiling, turned around and assumed a standard fighting stance to meet Natsu's attack head-on.

The two men's fists collided in the air, producing a dull thud.

Leo's physical skills are among the best in the Zodiac, and he held his own against Natsu.

Lucy wasn't idle either.

She spread her hands in front of her, and two golden magic circles appeared, with royal light surging from her palms.

One person and one Celestial Spirit ganged up on Natsu.

"Great! Lucy and Leo executed a beautiful teamwork! But!"

Riyao changed the subject, his tone full of regret.

"Generally speaking, two fists can't beat four hands, but unfortunately Lucy's physical skills are really a bit poor. In just a few rounds, she has already been punched by Natsu and has a pair of black eyes."

Lucy did have a dark circle around her eye, which contrasted sharply with her fair skin.

Lisanna shook her head and sighed from the audience.

"That idiot Natsu, he doesn't even know how to be gentle with a woman."

Levy waved her little fists and jumped higher than the cheerleaders had just been.

"Ruby! We absolutely have to beat Natsu down!"

Jade and Troy echoed this sentiment, one on the left and one on the right.

"Beat him down!"

"Yes, beat this fire idiot!"

Lucy gritted her teeth and took a few steps back to create some distance.

She took a deep breath, summoned her remaining magic, and pulled out a second key.

"Sagittarius, Sachidarius! Open the door!"

The second golden magic circle lit up, and the Sagittarius Celestial Spirit emerged from the light, holding a simple longbow in his hand.

Lucy gritted her teeth, maintaining both doors and the emasculated Celestial Cloak at the same time.

Magic surged out of her body like water from a burst dam, and she could feel her magic pool emptying at a visible speed.

Leo engaged Natsu in close combat, each punch landing squarely.

Lucy and Sagittarius Sachdarius launch a ranged attack from the rear.

Riyao's voice also became excited.

"Lucy actually did it!! The advanced technique of Celestial Spirit Mage, Double Door! And she maintained Double Door and Celestial Spirit Cloth simultaneously! Although it's a watered-down version, it's still incredibly impressive! However! Lucy's mana obviously won't last much longer, and the battle is entering its final countdown!"

Makarov stood in the front row of the audience, his hands behind his back, and nodded with satisfaction.

"As expected of the child I have high hopes for."

Riyao ruthlessly undermined them.

"You're clearly looking at someone's thigh... okay."

A burst of laughter erupted from the sidelines.

Makarov raised his short legs and kicked Riyao twice, but Riyao didn't budge.

"I'm just appreciating it! Appreciate it, don't you understand!"

"Yes, yes, I appreciate it."

Riyao's expression clearly said, "I understand, I understand everything."

At that moment, Natsu was completely excited.

The blue portion of the flames on his body grew even more intense, and the heat of the flames even distorted the air.

Natsu grinned, looking like a lit bomb.

But the next second.

Leo transformed into a beam of light and vanished into thin air.

Sachdarius is gone too.

The constellation mark on Lucy's body, representing her Star Spirit Cloth, flickered twice before disappearing completely.

Her knees buckled, and she collapsed to the ground, slumped in a standard posture of dejection on the training field.

Barley

"No, no... I'm out of magic... The double doors and the Celestial Robe are draining me dry..."

Lucy's voice was so weak it was like a mosquito's buzz; her face was pressed against the ground, and she didn't even have the strength to lift her head.

"Huh?! Lucy, play a little longer!"

Natsu had just ignited his flames, the blue flames still burning on his body, when he saw Lucy lying motionless on the ground.

He stood frozen in place, the fighting spirit stuck in his chest, unable to go away or come down, making him so uncomfortable that he spun around twice.

"I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"I'm not fighting anymore... If you want to fight, you do it yourself..."

Lucy waved her hand, then sprawled out on the ground, completely giving up the struggle.

Seeing Lucy's state, Natsu had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​continuing the fight.

But the flames on his body were still burning, and his fighting spirit had nowhere to go. He turned around twice, his gaze sweeping across the audience, and finally locked onto Riyao.

"Anyone else want to come up and fight?!"

He raised his burning fist and pointed it at the sun.

"Sunrise, get down here! I'm going to teach you a lesson!"

Riyue expressed no interest in this.

He leaned gracefully against the railing, crossed his legs, and spoke with a tone of detachment from worldly affairs.

"As an intellectual, I have no interest in fighting and killing."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Mirajane kicked him from behind.

"come on!"

Sunrise did a somersault in the air and landed steadily on the training field, turning back to look at Mirajane with accusatory eyes.

"Hmm, so love disappears?"

Mirajane turned her head away, pretending to look at the scenery.

Sunrise turned around, dusted off his knees, and faced Natsu's flames with an expression as calm as if he were waiting for a bus.

"Alright. Since we're already here..."

He flexed his wrists.

"Natsu, the infirmary was just cleaned today. You can choose a bed yourself. I won't be treating you."
