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

Many people received their gifts, and cheered as they opened them, with exclamations of surprise echoing throughout the guild hall.

Levy finally found her gift, which was pressed at the very bottom of the bag. She almost dropped it when she took it out.

He lowered his hands and staggered forward a step.

"It's so heavy."

She opened the package, froze for a full three seconds, then her eyes widened and her mouth opened into a circle.

"This is the ancient book I've been wanting for so long! I've been searching for it for ages, thanks Riyue and Mira! Where did you find it?"

The ancient book cover is engraved with unreadable ancient characters. The pages are yellowed and the edges are slightly worn, but it is well preserved.

Levy hugged the book, running her fingers over the cover, clearly delighted with it.

"This is from the royal library."

Riyao's words startled Makarov so much that his eyes widened, almost popping out of their sockets. His hand holding the teacup trembled, and he spilled tea all over his pants.

"I had Princess Emerald deliver it to me."

Makarov was relieved and let out a long breath. He picked up his teacup and took another sip, only to find that the cup was already empty.

He also opened his gift box slowly, opening it a crack to peek inside, and then slammed it shut.

His facial expression changed three times in a single second, from curiosity to shock to guilt, and finally he coughed twice with a straight face.

"Ahem, thank you for your thoughtfulness, Riyao."

Riyao revealed a smug expression, with the corners of his mouth turned up to one side and his eyes narrowed into slits; he looked utterly deserving of a beating.

"You're thanking the wrong person. You should thank Mira. She went to the headquarters of Soshara Weekly to get it. It was a difficult task for her to obtain the seven-year collector's edition."

Upon hearing this, Macao and Wakaba pounced at the same time.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, pounced on the magazine in the chairman's hands like hungry tigers.

Makarov reacted even faster, twisting his waist, grabbing the magazine and running. His short legs moved with incredible speed, and he dashed into the chairman's office, slamming the door shut behind him.

"Thanks, Mira!"

The sound came through the crack in the door, accompanied by an echo.

Macao and Wakaba were lying by the door, their faces pressed against the door panel, their fingers poking around in the crack.

I looked down at the Sunrise Special Life Ancient Wood Pipe in my hand. The wood grain on the pipe was indeed beautiful, and smoking it felt very pleasant, but it didn't smell as good as before.

The two lay by the door, wailing.

"President, let us take a look too!"

"We promise not to steal."

A muffled thud came from inside the door, as if something had been stuffed into a drawer.

Wendy opened her gift box. The box wasn't big, and the wrapping paper was light green with a small bow tied on it.

She unwrapped it very carefully, tearing it little by little without breaking the wrapping paper.

"Thank you, Brother Riyao and Sister Mila."

She put on the vine-woven bracelet, which fit her wrist perfectly, neither too loose nor too tight.

A few tiny, tender leaves dotted the emerald green vines, which glowed faintly under the light.

Mirajane ruffled her hair, gently pressing her palm against Wendy's head, strands of hair slipping through her fingers.

"This was woven with the life energy of Riyao, who said it can even promote growth."

This made Wendy even happier. She held the bracelet to her chest with both hands, stood on her tiptoes, and swayed slightly.

Xia Lulu sighed and rubbed her forehead. She stretched out her paw and gently sliced ​​the tape across the gift box with her nail, cutting it cleanly.

"What the heck is 'Transformation Magic Even Kittens Can Understand'?"

She looked down at the words on the cover, her brows furrowed.

Riyao took the opportunity to pat Xia Lulu's head, his palm landing precisely on the top of her head, which was fluffy and felt very nice.

"This was written by Mira. You're always saying you have to learn the Transformation spell to help Wendy, right? This book has Mira's annotations."

Xia Lulu slapped Riyao's hand away with her claws, leaving a claw mark on the back of Riyao's hand with a loud crack.

Then he tucked the book into his coat and wagged his tail.

"Thanks, Mira."

Happy opened his gift box, and as soon as the box was slightly opened, a shadow popped out.

A beautiful, dreamy pearl fish leaped out of the gift box, its body contorting in the air as it flicked its tail.

Snapped!

A tail lashed out at Harpy's face.

Happy was whipped so hard he spun two and a half times in the air before crashing face down into the bar, making a clattering sound.

"Aye~"

The sound was muffled, coming from the pile of junk.

Xia Lulu's lips twitched, she flicked her tail, and turned around.

"Silly cat."

Lili quickly opened his gift box, tearing off the wrapping paper with a couple of swift movements, just like his fighting style.

"Thanks, Sunbeam and Mira, for having such a small suit of armor."

"This can be adjusted to your body size, so it should fit you perfectly."

Upon hearing Riyao's words, Lili put on the armor and then grew larger to test it out.

The armor enlarged in sync with his body size, with flexible joints and perfectly aligned patterns on the shoulder armor.

He clenched his claws and twisted his waist, but the armor made no scraping sound.

"Yes, that's perfect, thanks."

Jubia opened the gift box, cracked it open, and peeked inside.

She immediately covered the box, pressing her hands firmly against the lid, and took a step back.

Blood flowed from his nostrils, dripping down his chin and onto the ground.

Wendy turned her head to look at Juvia.

"Miss Juvia, are you alright? You have a nosebleed."

"Juvia is fine, it's just too hot, hahaha."

Juvia wiped the blood from her nose, rubbed the back of her hand under her nose, and then ran out of the guild in three strides, faster than she had during a battle.

Although no one saw what was inside the gift box, they could all guess what it contained.

All eyes turned to Gray, their gazes full of mockery, and someone even whistled.

Gray scratched his head, fiddling with his hair, looking bewildered, wondering why everyone was staring at him.

Sunlight casually tossed a gift box to Laxus, and the box arced through the air.

Laxus caught it, hesitated for a moment, his fingers lingered on the lid for two seconds, but he still opened it.

He took off his old headphones, put them on the table, and put on the new headphones from the gift box.

The headphones are black, with a lightning bolt pattern on the earcups, and they fit perfectly, covering the ears.

Thanks.

He closed his eyes again, leaned his head back in the chair, and tapped his fingers on the armrests.

Philid opened the encyclopedia of spells, the pages flipping rapidly. His gaze swept over the lines of spells, his fingers tapping the pages as he muttered incantations.

Halfway through the page, he looked up and nodded solemnly at Riyao.

"I didn't expect so many interesting techniques to have been added in the past seven years. Thank you."

Bigros squeezed the wooden totem in his hand, tapping it with his knuckles, producing a dull thud.

"These wooden totems are quite sturdy, and they seem to increase the power of magic. I'm very satisfied, thanks."

Abba Green opened the gift box and saw the black mud mask inside. Her eyes twitched, and she pinched the jar between two fingers.

"Is this black mud mask something Mira left over again?"

"Of course not."

Mirajane shook her head, and Abba Green breathed a sigh of relief, putting the jar into her bosom.

You can tell what's inside Elfman's gifts without even opening them.

The two dumbbells were wrapped in paper so tightly they looked like they were about to burst.

He tore open the packaging, picked them up one in each hand, and weighed them in his hands.

"Can this adjust gravity? Thanks, sister and brother-in-law."

Lisana's eyes lit up when she saw the clothes in her gift box. She picked them up with both hands and held them up against herself.

"Is this Soshara's latest model this year? I love it, sister."

She hugged Mirajane and kissed her cheeks several times, leaving four or five lipstick marks on her face.

Sunshine quickly pulled her away, grabbing Mirajane's wrist and pulling her behind him to shield Lisana.

Bisca received a collector's edition billiard cue with a dark brown shaft that fit perfectly in her hand.

She ran her fingers along the pole a couple of times, her eyes momentarily glazed over as she thought of the days before she joined the guild.

Alzak received a pair of diamond rings in a small box. When he opened it, the diamonds reflected the light, dazzling his eyes.

He stared wide-eyed at Riyao.

Riyao nodded to him, a smile playing on his lips, and gave him a thumbs up.

Alzak took a deep breath, clutched the box in his hand, his palms sweaty.

Little Aska also received a gift. She bounced around with her magic pistol, pointing the muzzle at the ceiling and making her own sounds, "rat-a-tat-tat-tat."

Romeo hurriedly opened the gift box, tried to tear the wrapping paper with his fingers but couldn't, so he bit it with his teeth in frustration.

Upon opening it, I found glass beads just like Natsu's, each one round and rolling around inside the box.

He stared longingly at Riyao, his mouth opening and closing, wondering what use this bead was since he couldn't eat flames himself.

"Try opening it."

Romeo listened to Sunrise, pinched a bead between his fingers, and poured magic into it.

A crack appeared on the bead, and a blue flame emerged from the crack. The flame flashed and shot directly into his body.

He shuddered and instinctively raised his hand. Blue flames shot out from his palm, dancing on his fingertips, and a wave of heat hit him.

"Thank you, Riyao-ge!!"

Natsu suddenly darted over, grabbed Romeo's wrist, brought him close to the flames, and licked his lips.

"Let me taste your blue flames! Hmm, they taste quite similar to the flames of the Sun."

Uru held a crystal ball and scratched his head.

"This is the crystal ball that Urudia has always used; Sunburst stole it."

Mirajane explained it to her.

Uru's lips curled up; the thought of his daughter's aggrieved expression made him want to laugh.

Everyone was very satisfied with the gift, and their faces were filled with joy.
