Healing Magic

Brain stared silently at the two women blocking Eleven's path. He'd only intended to annoy Eleven and hadn't expected anything substantial, but he hadn't anticipated such a complete failure. It seemed he'd underestimated the so-called camaraderie within the Light Guild.

"Ha, bonds, huh? You guys always talk about such boring things." Brain chuckled dismissively.

Eleven raised his hand and gently patted Mira and Erza on the head, then pushed them aside, no longer giving them a chance to show off.

"Brain, stop spouting nonsense. Do you think we'd be brainwashed like those idiots in the Dark Guild? What are you trying to do? Kidnapping a little girl like this, you're disgusting."

Eleven stared at Brain, his playful intentions now gone, and calmly began to try and extract some information.

"Elizabeth." Brain looked coldly at Eleven, still calling out that familiar name.

"Give Wendy to me; I need her strength."

"Impossible!" Eleven shrugged, a look of utter disdain on his face as he stared at Brain. "Wendy's just a little girl, what power could she possibly offer you?"

Brain roughly anticipated Eleven's response, and without showing any expression, his tone remained calm. "Elizabeth, this matter shouldn't concern you. I advise you not to get involved."

"Wendy is very important to me, and I will not give up on her unless you are willing to take her place and become my strength."

"Elizabeth, don't go looking for trouble, and don't cause trouble for your guild. The Oración Seis is not someone you can afford to mess with."

╬￣ dishes￣

"You're talking nonsense."

"Nonsense"

"Shut up"

Erza, Mira, and Eleven almost simultaneously shouted angrily, interrupting Brain's next words.

Eleven took a sudden step forward, shielding Wendy and the others behind him. He floated slightly, looking down at the tall Brain with a chilling and furious tone.

"Ha, this is something that has nothing to do with us," Eleven, his aura exploding and his clothes fluttering in the wind.

"Brain, I'm officially telling you now, Wendy, that from today onwards you are a mage of Fairy Tail."

"If you've got the guts, then come and rob us! What kind of bullshit Oración Seis? Do you think Fairy Tail is afraid of you? Dare to lay a finger on Fairy Tail mages, then be prepared to pay the price with your lives, you bastards!"

As soon as Eleven finished speaking, he crushed the skull staff with his Telekinesis, and Brain's projection vanished instantly, giving him no chance to refute.

Wendy and Carla stared wide-eyed at the domineering and flamboyant Eleven. Although they were still a little confused about when they had become Fairy Tail mages, the sense of security they felt from being protected was real.

"What an idiot," even the proud Carla was somewhat moved, and muttered to herself.

These guys were only meeting Wendy for the first time today, yet they fought like their lives depended on it to protect her and Wendy. They were even willing to become enemies with the members of that evil guild that sounded so powerful.

Although Carla was only about the same age as Happy, she was much more mature. She understood that if Eleven and the others really didn't have any other feelings for Wendy, then they were a bunch of genuine idiots, a bunch of trustworthy idiots.

Brain's obstructive projection disappeared, and Eleven calmed down, slowly landing back on the ground. He pressed his forehead, which was bleeding again from anger, with a look of righteous indignation.

"Um," Wendy's soft voice came from behind. Seeing Eleven looking at her, Wendy became even more nervous, and stammered, "Um, thank you for saving me, but... but I don't want to cause you any trouble, so..."

"It's okay, Wendy."

Before Wendy could finish speaking, Erza interrupted her, walked up to Wendy, gently took one of Wendy hands, and smiled.

"Just like Eleven said, Wendy, we'll protect you, you don't need to worry about anything."

Mira walked over too, took Wendy's other hand, and smiled sweetly, a rare sight for her. "Wendy, we're partners now, your problems aren't causing us any trouble."

Wendy, holding hands with two older girls, shyly lowered her head, not daring to look up. Although she didn't know the girls' names yet, they were so beautiful and gentle.

The three girls held hands, creating a sweet and beautiful atmosphere.

"Ah, I've finally found you, Eleven Erza."

However, this pleasant atmosphere didn't last long before it was shattered by two guys who emerged from the bushes.

Suddenly, Natsu, covered in dust and dirt, appeared out of nowhere, carrying an even more wretched Gray. Upon seeing Eleven and the others, Natsu immediately threw Gray to the ground and ran over noisily.

"Wow, those bastards who kidnapped Cindy are over there, I'm going to beat them up!"

"It's Wendy, Natsu," Happy said, fluttering his little wings as he flew up to Natsu. "And Eleven have already taken care of her, and Wendy has been rescued too."

Natsu: "Oh, I see."

Natsu was disappointed; he was late again. But he quickly remembered something else and looked at Eleven and the others with some anxiety. "Right, Gray is injured. We need to get him treated right away."

Even without Natsu saying anything, Eleven and the others had already noticed Gray's unclear injuries and had gathered around Gray to check on him.

Erza slammed a punch into Natsu's head, scolding him sternly, "Idiot, since Gray is injured, why didn't you take Gray back first? What are you doing here looking for us?"

Natsu lowered his head in shame, offering no excuses. Gray, on the other hand, struggled to get up and show off, trying to tell Erza that he could still be reckless even injured, but Eleven pressed him back down.

Eleven looked at Gray's injuries and was also a little anxious. He had so many wounds, and although he had received emergency treatment, he was still bleeding. He wondered what kind of battle Gray had gone through.

At this moment, Eleven also remembered the three mages who had scattered earlier. He had thought they would flank and surround them, but unexpectedly, they had gone to Natsu and the others. A moment of carelessness had resulted in Gray being so seriously injured, and Eleven was filled with self-blame.

Ignoring his own injuries, Eleven gently hoisted Gray onto his back, intending to take Gray to receive treatment as quickly as possible.

Just then, Eleven suddenly felt someone tug at his sleeve. Looking down, he saw it was Wendy, the little girl. This girl never dared to look Eleven in the eye when she spoke, and she turned her head away, somewhat embarrassed, as she tugged at Eleven.

"I know some healing magic, so... if you can trust me, can I heal him first?"

"Really? That's great, Wendy, please!" Without hesitation, Eleven laid Gray down again, making him lie flat in front of Wendy.

Eleven's decisive trust surprised Wendy, but she quickly recovered, a rare serious expression appearing on her face as she firmly said, "Yes, leave it to me."

After saying that, Wendy knelt down next to Gray, and a bluish-green magical light emanated from her hands, enveloping Gray's gruesome wounds.

After being bathed in light, the pain on Gray's face quickly subsided. Even more miraculously, the bleeding wound began to heal at a visible speed, soon forming a scab and ceasing to bleed.

After a while, Wendy gradually withdrew her magical light, wiped the fine sweat from her forehead, and smiled, "Alright, he's out of danger. But I'm sorry, my magic isn't enough to fully heal him. He'll need a long time to recover after we get back."

Eleven others were stunned as they looked at little Wendy. Just a few minutes ago, Gray looked like he was on the verge of death, but after Wendy treated him like this, he was almost completely recovered.

Even Ms. Porlyusica's healing speed isn't this fast.

Besides, Wendy is only a few years old this year, I think she's seven.

Now that she's here, can Porlyusica finally retire?

No wonder Brain was so obsessed with her.

Haha, it seems we've found another treasure!
