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

On the eve of the S-level assessment, the guild members began a major sprint, with many frantically trying to boost their KPIs in an attempt to participate in the S-level assessment.

The guild members gathered in the guild hall, waiting for the guild leader to announce the list of those selected for this year's S-level assessment.

The guild hall was packed with people. Natsu was squatting on the table eating a roasted chicken leg, Gray was shirtless and posing with his arms crossed, Cana was sipping wheat juice through a straw, and even Erza, who was usually the most composed, was secretly adjusting her armor.

Many people know they have little chance of becoming an S-class mage, but within the Fairy Tail guild, it's simply that damned competitive spirit at play; getting selected is something to brag about for a year!

Makarov knew very well who had the potential to become an S-class mage. Laxus's strength had grown rapidly, but his mind was becoming increasingly obsessive. Over the years, he had been greatly influenced by his father, whether through meetings or letters.

Makarov felt that Laxus should be given more time to reflect. After thinking about it for a long time, he concluded that normal assessment tasks could not stop Laxus's promotion.

so...

"Quiet! Quiet!"

Makarov's voice came from the second-floor railing. The old man was wearing a brand-new guild leader's uniform, his hair was slicked back, and he was clearing his throat while holding a list.

He deliberately slowed down his movements, first straightening his collar and then stretching his tie, looking as flamboyant as if he were going to participate in a beauty pageant.

Riyao rolled his eyes and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Old man! Stop being so vain! We know you're the most handsome guy in the guild, okay? Hurry up and read out the list!"

"Pfft!"

The whole audience burst into laughter.

Makarov blushed and nearly fell off the railing. He angrily slammed his hand on the railing.

"Seriously! The S-rank selection list is now being announced: Sunburst! Laxus Dolea!"

The guild members wailed in despair.

The guild members groaned in despair. Natsu dropped the chicken leg in his hand, clenched his fist, and burst into flames.

Why wasn't I included?! I'm already incredibly strong!

Gray rolled his eyes and kicked Natsu in the butt.

"You've only been in the guild for a short time and you already want to be S-rank? Keep dreaming!"

"Gray! You're not wearing any clothes again!"

Cana suddenly pointed at Gray's chest and shouted, and Gray instinctively covered his chest, causing the whole audience to burst into laughter again.

Laxus leaned against the wall, eyes closed, and snorted coldly, a disdainful smile playing on his lips. Fried stood behind him, adjusting his glasses.

"Lord Laxus, you have indeed been selected."

Erza walked up to Sunrise and said earnestly.

"Senior Riyou, have you chosen your partner yet?"

If there's nothing wrong, Riyo; if there's something wrong, Riyo-senpai...

Riyao shrugged.

"Not yet~ Erza, are you going to be my partner?"

"May I?!"

Erza's eyes lit up.

Gray and Natsu immediately came over.

Gray said coolly.

"Me too, you know, my ice-themed style is incredibly versatile."

Natsu jumped up and shouted.

"Pick me! Pick me! I'm awesome!"

Since she had already reunited with her father, Kana was no longer so fixated on the S-level assessment.

However, seeing this scene, Kana squeezed over as well, speaking in a sweet, coquettish voice.

"Brother Riyao~ Can I come with you~"

When Riyao heard this strange noise, he shuddered.

Soon, a crowd gathered, chattering and vying for a spot as a partner, eager to join in the excitement of the S-level assessment.

Surrounded by everyone, Riyao frantically pondered: Who should he choose?!

He reached out and grabbed Erza's hand.

"Erza, I choose you as my partner!"

Gray seemed to have been struck by lightning, and staggered back two steps.

"I was here first! You idiot!"

Riyao said disdainfully.

"Feeding in an ambiguous way."

Natsu stomped his foot in dissatisfaction.

Why didn't you choose me?!

Riyao gave a perfunctory reply, as if it were perfectly normal.

"Because you're a man! Not pleasing to the eye!"

Kana stood with her hands on her hips and shouted angrily.

"And what about me? I'm a woman!"

Riyao glanced at her.

"You're too weak. Last time you couldn't even beat Belial."

"You're asking for it!"

Enraged, Kana rushed forward and began to punch Riyao's kidneys repeatedly, but to Riyao, the force was barely more than a tickle.

...

With Riyao's intervention, Makarov chose Sirius Island as the location for the assessment.

Strange noises came from Makarov's room the night before last.

In Makarov's room...

"President, are you feeling comfortable?"

Riyao's voice is so gentle it could melt your heart.

"Mmm~ Use a little more force!"

Makarov lay on the bed, letting out a comfortable groan.

"Right? I can use a little more force."

"Come on, I can handle it!"

Riyao pounded Makarov's back with both hands, injecting life energy into his body with each strike.

"Grandpa, shall we choose Sirius Island as the assessment location? I'd like to go see the Sacred Tree."

Makarov squinted.

"What do you want to do to the sacred tree?"

"I won't do it."

"Um?"

"I want to go back and get a piece of tree trunk."

Riyao chuckled.

Makarov thought for a moment.

"The location can be chosen on Sirius Island, but the matter of the tree trunk depends on the situation."

...

On the ship heading to Sirius Island, Riyao, wearing a floral shirt and beach shorts and sunglasses, lay on a deck chair sunbathing, his open collar revealing the golden guild emblem on his chest.

He held a coconut in his hand, happily drinking the coconut juice, looking just like a rich second-generation heir on vacation.

Erza, wearing a one-piece swimsuit, walked up to Sunrise and looked her up and down.

"Did you get tanned too quickly? You were quite fair yesterday."

"This is called a healthy tan!"

Riyao deliberately grinned, revealing a set of white teeth.

Laxus walked over with Fried, coolly making some tough remarks.

"I'm definitely going to win this assessment! A lazy bum like you doesn't deserve to be an S-class mage!"

Looking at the three people on the left, right, and top, Riyao said awkwardly, "Um, could you three please stop surrounding me? It's kind of embarrassing."

At the bow of the ship, Makarov and Kirdas were discussing the assessment. Makarov rubbed his hands together, a sinister look on his face.

"When the time comes, go all out and beat that brat Riyao to a pulp!"

Gildarts scratched his head.

"That's not a good idea, President."

Makarov leaned close to Kirdas's ear and whispered something.

"Have you forgotten how he tricked you back then, making you think he was your son, and how you cried so hard your snot got all over his clothes!"

Gildarts's face darkened, and he patted his chest.

"Now that you mention it, he really needs a good beating! Leave it to me!"

Sunlight felt a little uncomfortable being surrounded by three people, so he turned around and lay down to bask in the sun for a while.

The three stared at Riyao's shapely buttocks, which were comparable to Captain America's.

Laxus slammed the slam shut with lightning speed, then acted as if nothing had happened.

A scream of agony came from the ship.

"Ah! Which pervert patted my butt?!"

Sunlight, clutching his backside, turned around and glared at Erza, Laxus, and Fried. Erza blushed and quickly waved her hands.

"No...it wasn't me!"

Riyao gave a sly smile.

"An explanation is just a cover-up, and a cover-up is the truth. Let me take the photos back, and I'll let bygones be bygones."

Laxus and Fred silently stepped back.

Erza was so angry that she drew her sword, and Sunfire quickly hid behind Laxus, circling around him.

"I was just kidding! Don't be angry!"

Sunburst quickly dodged, using Laxus as a pillar to circle around it, talking as he ran.

"I was just saying, it hasn't been implemented yet, oh dear."

Laxus kept a straight face, afraid of revealing his true intentions.

How could Sunrise not know who filmed it? Fred was standing at the top of his head, with Erza and Laxus on his left and right sides. Erza's hands were so small.

As Sunburst circled behind Laxus, a glint flashed in his eyes: Now's the time!

Bring your hands together, keeping your index and middle fingers straight.

"Healing Magic - Ultimate Technique - Thousand Years of Death!"

"ah!!!!!"

A piercing scream echoed across the sea, startling Makarov and Kirdas at the bow of the ship.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Riyao jumped into the sea, activated healing magic underwater, and swam towards Tianlang Island while holding his breath.

Anyone who has swum knows that you can die if you don't breathe.

But when Sunlight activates its healing magic, it doesn't surface; it swims in the water.

Laxus clutched his backside, his face ashen, while Fried pushed up his glasses.

"Lord Laxus, are you alright?"
