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

When the Capricorn door opened, Levy almost thought she had wandered into the wrong movie set.

Behind the door was actually the set of an educational quiz show.

The signboard was brightly lit, the backdrop was colorful, and there were two chairs. It looked like an outdated late-night variety show.

The goat next to it is even more outrageous.

Capricorns are typically elegant, mature, and meticulous celestial beings, like a butler. They are tall, gentlemanly, and impeccably groomed, the kind of people who look like cover models just by standing there.

But now, she's shrunk to the size of a little goat, not even as tall as Rebecca's thigh, and is tightly wrapped in a golden suit, looking like a plush toy that's stolen an adult's clothes to go to a banquet.

A man and a sheep sat side by side on a stool, staring at each other.

A host's voice boomed down from the ceiling, clear and articulate, with a slight curve at the end.

"Okay, everyone, now it's time for a quiz competition."

"The following nine questions are all about people and events you have encountered. They are not guaranteed to be absolutely fair, just, and transparent."

"Hey! I heard you! What do you mean 'not necessarily'?!"

"Hehe~"

"Hey, what the heck is that?!"

Levy was ranting and raving, her voice almost cracking from shouting.

She hadn't even had time to believe the first half of the statement, "absolutely fair and just," when the second half, "public disclosure is not guaranteed," shattered her trust completely.

Nine questions—it's obvious they're trying to mess with her.

Capricorn Capricorn remained completely unfazed, stroking his goatee and offering his assessment in a leisurely manner.

"The host is very mischievous."

Levy gritted her teeth. There was definitely something fishy going on!

The two people outside the door witnessed this scene.

Princess Emerald produced another crystal ball from somewhere, and with a flick of her finger, the scene inside the door was clearly reflected on the ball's surface.

Arcadios watched as his princess pulled out another crystal ball, his lips moved, his eyes closed, and he resigned himself to his fate.

It seems Her Highness is incapable of breaking her habit of recording embarrassing moments.

Inside the door, the host cleared his throat and posed the first question.

Who is the person who spends all day on the task list in the Fairy Tail guild? Please tell me their full name!

Levy's eyes widened in surprise.

The person who spends all day on the bulletin board? Who is it again? A rag doll? A rag? A rag! ...

The scene in her mind had only gone halfway through when the hoof next to her slammed the buzzer on the answer button.

Kabriko slapped his hoof, and the answer slipped out.

Levy roared inwardly.

You, a mere goat, know my guild better than I do? Do you usually just squat under the commission board and eavesdrop?

Unfortunately, no one heard her thoughts; a cheerful notification sound rang out above her head.

With a creak, it lifted up a bit, raising the entire slide by thirty degrees.

"Huh? Why is there such a setting?!"

Levy grabbed the handrail and braced herself with her legs, like a gecko clinging to a steep slope, stubbornly refusing to slide down.

What are the three super magic spells of the Fairy Tail guild?

She knows the answer to this question!

Levy's eyes lit up, and the two of them pounced on the button almost simultaneously.

Levy's hand and Cabrico's hoof slammed down on the buzzer.

"The Laws of the Fairies, the Radiance of the Fairies, the Orb of the Fairies."

Levy shouted it out quickly and crisply.

"The Laws of the Fairies, the Radiance of the Fairies, the Orb of the Fairies."

Kabri followed along, repeating the same words perfectly.

On Levy's side, the slide creaked and rose another fifteen degrees.

"Huh?! Wasn't it me who shouted out the answer first?!"

"It's a pity you weren't the one who pressed the buzzer first."

The host's voice is incredibly irritating.

Levy was so angry she wanted to flip the table, but she was on the slide and couldn't.

Before the protest could even be uttered, the host had already posed the third question.

"The next question is..."

Levy narrowed her eyes, deciding to grab it first and worry about nothing else!

Who cares what they ask? First come, first served!

She gritted her teeth and slapped him.

The questioning stopped.

Levy waited for a long time, but received no further news.

"...Um, what's the problem?"

"..."

"Don't just stay silent, hey!"

There was only silence in response.

Levy's face immediately fell, looking miserable.

I finally managed to snag one, but it turned out to be a complete waste.

With a creak, the slide stubbornly rose another fifteen degrees.

She slumped over the handrail, chin resting on her arm, looking utterly hopeless.

Kabri shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of compassion from someone who had been through it all.

"You'll only ask a question once, and if you get interrupted, you won't be able to ask it again."

Why didn't you say so sooner!

The host spoke again.

"The next question is..."

This time, Levy learned her lesson and pressed her hands firmly against the handrail, refusing to run ahead no matter what.

The rules were set by the goat, the props were prepared for the goat, and this show was clearly tailor-made for that goat!

"In the Fairy Tail guild, what's Sunrise's favorite sunflower seed flavor?"

Sunflower seeds! Sunflower seeds from Brother Riyao!

Levy's eyes lit up with a "ding," this was an easy question!

She pressed the button before Kabrico could, and confidently shouted out the answer.

"Five-spice flavor!"

"Beep beep beep, wrong answer! The correct answer is spicy flavor."

"How could that be! Sunny Brother usually eats the five-spice flavor!"

Levy was completely stunned.

She remembers it perfectly.

Every time Brother Riyao sits at the bar eating sunflower seeds, he usually peels the spiced ones, leaving a pile of shells on the table. Sometimes he even shares some with her. How come in the end, his favorite is spicy?

Cabriko wasn't annoyed. She explained things to her in a gentle tone, as if she were coaxing a child.

"The flavors you eat often don't necessarily mean your favorite flavors."

Do you goats always say such hurtful things?

She looked down and saw that she had climbed another section of the slide, which was now tilted at a 75-degree angle.

She could only cling tightly to the back of the chair, her legs trembling, barely managing to stay rooted to the spot.

With a "click," the platform beneath the slide flipped over.

Levy looked up and her hair stood on end.

Hidden beneath the platform is a serrated cutting machine.

The serrated edges were gleaming, spinning rapidly in circles, enough to make one's scalp tingle just by looking at them.

"Hey, isn't this supposed to be a fun, family-friendly quiz show? What's with this?!"

Levy was terrified, gripping the back of the chair tightly with both arms and refusing to let go no matter what.

Where's the promised intellectual quiz? Where's the promised family fun? Are variety shows this hardcore these days? Eliminated contestants are literally physically executed?

Cabri, however, remained completely calm, stroked his beard, and placed his hoof steadily on the button.

The host threw out four questions in a row.

What are the twelve zodiac keys that Lucy possesses?

"From what creature does the Azure Dragon's ability to fly come?"

"What types of elemental magic has Natsu consumed?"

Which piece of armor does Erza like best?

Cabriko pressed down instinctively, his hoof moving so fast it left afterimages.

As a result, I failed the first question.

"Beep beep beep, Lucy doesn't have the Zodiac key right now."

The host's rulings were cold and impersonal.

Cabreco's hooves froze in mid-air, and his goatee visibly twitched.

"Hahaha, are you dumbfounded...?"

Levy stopped mid-sentence, her gloating words cut short.

Because she discovered that Cabriko stood on the 75-degree slide with incredible stability, his hooves seemingly rooted to the ground, without even a tremor, as if walking on flat ground.

Cabri calmly stroked his beard and tapped his feet with his hoof.

"As everyone knows, an 89-degree incline is flat ground for a goat."

Levy pursed her lips, unable to utter a single word.

Damn goat!

The host announced.

"One last question! Who does Levy like?"

"!!"

Cabreco's hoof slowly moved above the button, hovering there, his mustache twitching with a mischievous smile.

"Oh~ If you don't take it, I'm going to!"

Levy's face flushed instantly, turning red from her ears all the way down to her neck.

She gritted her teeth, her face flushed, slapped the button, and mumbled an answer in a voice barely audible.

As for what she actually said, who knows?

Anyway, Kabriko's expression changed from mischievous to shocked, his hooves stopped in mid-air, and he even forgot to stroke his goat beard.

It clearly hadn't expected that Levy would actually harden her heart and answer the question.

Immediately afterwards, Cabrico lost his footing and fell into the saw-cutting machine.

"Clang! Crack!"

The saw cutter emitted a series of ear-piercing noises, then hissed and emitted a plume of black smoke before completely stopping.

A murder weapon was destroyed by a goat.

Levy climbed down the slide, her legs still trembling, but she was already clutching the key to the lock in her hand.

Cabrera crawled out of the wreckage of the cutting machine, dusted off his gleaming gold suit, and spread his hooves, accepting his defeat.

Levy pressed the key against its forehead.

A flash of light.

Capricorn successfully closed the door.

The Emerald Princess outside had gotten a great scoop and happily put away the crystal ball.
