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

The battle was one-sided.

Freya was completely outmatched; her hair was cut off, then grew back, only to be cut off again.

No matter how hard they struggle, they can't turn the tide.

Lucy and Keisha worked together, one on each side, their two scissors flashing up and down, making a constant snip-snip sound.

Lucy was overjoyed; after so long, she had finally encountered an enemy she could overcome.

Freya's hair was completely cut off and scattered all over the ground, forming a thick layer.

Even though she manipulated the remaining hair to ignite flames, the flames spreading from the ends to the roots, they couldn't stop Lucy's offensive.

The flames were extinguished by the wind before they could even get close to Lucy.

Erza nodded with satisfaction, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"It seems that my instruction on swordsmanship over these three months has not been in vain."

Lucy held the knife in both hands, assuming a fighting stance.

The blade is held horizontally in front of him, his knees are slightly bent, and his center of gravity is lowered.

Golden magic surged around him, and light overflowed from within him, enveloping him in a golden halo, making him stand out conspicuously in the center of the arena.

The audience cheered for Lucy, and a roar of applause erupted from the stands.

"Wow! That's amazing!"

"Old ginger is spicier! Fairy Tail is too strong!"

"Buy the opposite of the Magic Fighter ticket, and you'll get a villa by the sea!"

The others nearby thought it made sense, so they quickly took advantage of the high odds and went to bet on Fairy Tail to win the championship.

Some people took out their wallets, others rummaged through their pockets, each moving faster than the last.

The Fairy Tail guild stands.

Makarov coughed twice, cleared his throat, and lowered his voice.

"Macao, how's the task I assigned you going?"

"Don't worry, President, I took care of it before the competition started."

Macao patted his chest, making a loud thud with his palm.

"Hmm, not bad, not bad at all. As expected of the fourth generation chairman."

Makarov deliberately dragged out the word "chairman".

"Oh, you're joking, President."

Marcao twisted his body, a smile plastered on his face.

"Hahahahaha..."

Marcao and Makarov laughed arm in arm, their laughter growing louder and louder, echoing through the Fairy Tail stands.

The two of them had their shoulders together, their heads close together, laughing so hard they could hardly breathe.

The guild members quietly moved aside, suddenly unwilling to admit that these two were the current and former guild leaders.

A cloud drifted in, blocking the sun, and the arena darkened.

As soon as the light went out, the entire venue was shrouded in shadow.

Cancer - A Galaxy of Stars

Lucy charged toward Freya, her twin swords slashing across each other, the blades leaving two streaks of light in the darkened arena, the interplay of light creating a dazzling star map.

Freya was struck by the back of the blade, swayed, rolled her eyes, and fainted, collapsing to the ground.

Another round of cheers erupted from the audience, wave after wave of applause.

"Fairy Tail! Fairy Tail! Fairy Tail!"

Lucy gracefully sheathed her sword, stood in the center of the arena, her chest rising and falling slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.

She accepted the audience's praise, a smile she couldn't suppress playing on her lips.

The commentator, Chabati, wiped his sweat; his handkerchief was soaked through. He didn't know why he was sweating so much.

"It seems Fairy Tail is going to reclaim its throne! Let's cheer for Fairy Tail!"

"The next 1v1 duel will be between... Wendy from Fairy Tail's elite team and Sherria from Boa Hancock's Scale!"

The audience saw two adorable girls competing against each other, and the cheers were even louder than before, with whistles and screams mixed together.

Wendy and Sherria jogged into the arena, their steps light and quick as they reached the center.

The two of them tripped and fell flat on their faces.

Wendy tripped over her right foot with her left, and Sheria tripped over her left with her right, both of them simultaneously leaning forward and supporting themselves on their hands on the ground, their steps perfectly synchronized.

The commentator, Chabati, wiped his sweat.

"This entrance was quite novel and must have left a deep impression on everyone."

The two little ones below exchanged a glance, chuckled awkwardly, and got up, dusting off their hands.

"Hello, my name is Wendy."

"My name is Sheria, nice to meet you."

Jenny watched them huddle together, their hands supporting their chins, their eyes crinkling into crescents.

"She's so cute, only slightly less so than I was when I was a child."

The two little ones spread out, got into position, and became serious.

A gust of wind swept across the field, and two streams of air exploded from the two men at the same time, colliding with each other and stirring up dust from the ground.

Sheryl exclaimed in surprise, her eyes widening in astonishment.

"You also use wind magic?!"

Wendy nodded, her fists clenched, her gaze resolute.

"Yes, I am a Dragon Slayer Mage from the Celestial Dragons!"

"Great! I am the God-Slaying Mage of the Heavenly Gods!"

Sheria's arms were wrapped in black whirlwind, the airflow swirling from her fingertips to her shoulders, making a whooshing sound.

Natsu, standing in the stands, pointed at Sheria, his finger poking into the air.

"Huh, it uses the same magic as that guy on Sirius Island... what was his name again?"

"I think his name is Zancro?"

Lucy pondered for a moment, tapping her chin with her finger. She didn't quite remember; she'd only heard Natsu mention it briefly.

The two below had already begun fighting, their winds colliding and producing muffled thuds.

Wendy and Sheria both had whirlwinds wrapped around their hands, engaging in close-quarters combat.

Fists and feet clashed, back and forth, and wind blades flew everywhere between the two.

【Rasengan】

A sphere appeared in Wendy's right hand, containing multiple spiraling turbulent currents. The airflow spun wildly inside, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

He raised his palm and slammed it towards Sheria, pushing the sphere forward with his palm.

Sheria raised her arms to defend herself, crossing them in front of her chest.

The impact pushed her backward a bit, leaving two marks on the ground with the soles of her feet.

She used the momentum to jump backward, landed lightly, and stood still before speaking.

"That's an interesting move, I'll try it too."

Sheria tried to condense a Rasengan in her palm, her fingertips clenching together as the airflow gathered in her palm.

It only condensed into a counter-clockwise spiral storm, much simpler than Wendy's, with only one layer of rotation.

She stuck out her tongue, the tip of which peeked out from the corner of her mouth.

"That's all we can do."

Wendy didn't stop Sheria, but waited obediently with her hands behind her back and her head tilted slightly.

Riyao smacked his lips.

"These two girls have even started chatting."

Since Mirajane had nothing better to do, she ran her fingers through Sunshine's hair and braided a long braid for him.

The braid hung down from the back of her head to her lower back.

"I feel like Sherria and Wendy are similar, especially in terms of personality."

"Wendy doesn't like fighting, but Sheria is a little battle maniac."

As the two were talking, the two little ones below started fighting again, exchanging blows and kicks once more.

Wendy opened her mouth to inhale air, and as she opened her mouth, airflow poured into her mouth from all directions, causing her chest to bulge.

Sheryl's eyes shone even brighter, her pupils sparkling.

"You can eat air too! I'll join you!"

She opened her mouth and began to inhale air, her cheeks puffing out roundly.

【The Roar of the Heavenly Dragon】

[Howling of the Gods]

A white spiral storm and a black spiral storm were simultaneously spewed from the two men's mouths and collided.

Two streams of air collided in the center of the field, creating a huge cyclone.

A strong wind swept through the area, making everyone's hair a mess and their clothes flutter loudly.

She took out a comb at night and calmly combed her hair with elegant movements.

"man~"

Wendy and Sherlia both had injuries, with several tears in their clothes and bloodstains on their arms.

Sheryl opened her mouth and swallowed a few more mouthfuls of air, the air rushing into her mouth.

Her injuries healed quickly, and the bloodstains disappeared at a visible speed.

Wendy's little face looked miserable, her brows furrowed and her lips pressed into a thin line.

How can we fight this? Our self-healing ability is no match for theirs.

"I'm coming!"

The North Wind of the Gods

Sherria conjured two spiraling black winds in her hands, the black air swirling in her palms and gradually merging into a massive horizontal hurricane that locked onto Wendy, the wind pressure crushing down from the front.

Wendy narrowed her eyes, her pupils shrinking to two small dots.

【Dragon Slayer Secret Technique: Illumination - Sky Piercer】

Surrounded by multiple layers of wind barriers, the air currents swirled around his body, then compressed instantly, converging all the air currents into a single, penetrating shockwave that blasted out from his hand.

Sunlight pulled Mirajane into his arms, shielding her with his arm, and turned his body so that his back was to the center of the field.

A gale stronger than before swept across the entire stadium, the wind pressure crushing the stands and making it impossible for people to open their eyes.

Many items in the stands were blown into the air, hats, tissues, and snack bags swirling and drifting away.

When the storm subsided and the wind stopped, everything became quiet.

Wendy lay on the ground, her chest heaving, her lips pursed, and a little water welled up in her eyes, but it didn't fall.

Sunny jumped off the stands, landing silently, and quickly walked to Wendy's side.

He bent down and picked up Wendy, supporting her back with one hand and placing his other palm on her forehead. Green light surged into her, and her injuries were instantly healed.

"We'll concede defeat in this match."

"I'm sorry, I lost."

Wendy muttered something under her breath, her voice muffled, and buried her face in Sunshine's chest.

Back in the stands, Riyao put her in her seat.

Riyao patted her head and gently rubbed her hair with his palm.

"It's alright, you're still young and haven't activated your dragon power yet. You'll still be at a disadvantage if you encounter god-slaying magic."

Mirajane also came over and gently poked Wendy's cheek with her finger.

"Wendy still has room to grow, take it slow, no rush."

Wendy sniffed and nodded.

The commentator, Chabadi, wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"The victor of this duel is Sheria of the Serpent Scale! Let's cheer for her!"

Sheryl ran over and pulled Wendy to be her friend.
