Cana's Fight

"Snort!"

Looking at the cards scattered on the ground, Cana snorted coldly. However, that was just a probing attack, and she didn't expect it to have any effect. She calmly began her next attack.

"The Sun's Blazing Flame!"

Another red card was flung into the air by Cana, and a cool crimson magic circle instantly lit up, a pillar of fire carrying a heat wave shot towards Eleven.

However, the flames, though seemingly powerful, were completely ineffective against Eleven, unable to get close and entirely blocked by his Telekinesis.

"This won't do, Cana ~" Eleven tilted his head, revealing his smug face from behind the flames, and looked at Cana with a half-smile.

"Damn it! It's not over yet!" Cana stomped her feet in frustration when she saw that her attacks were completely ineffective. She kept throwing out cards, which flashed with the light of magic circles in the air.

"Death God's Icicles!"

"The Emperor's Wind Blade!"

"Prayer's Fountain!"

In an instant, flames, ice spikes, wind blades, water guns, and dazzling magic all crashed into Eleven's Telekinesis Barrier. It must be said that the visual effects were superb, and the various elemental ranged attacks perfectly matched people's definition of magic.

"The attack power is still too weak." Eleven, shrouded in magical light, sighed softly.

Eleven didn't retaliate, but instead sensed Cana's magic while being attacked. Although the spells were varied, and others might have been caught off guard, each spell's attack power was too weak, and the magic power contained within the attacks was too little. If it were an elemental mage specializing in a single element, their attack power would be much stronger than Cana's.

Hmm... Overall combat strength is probably about 1.5 times that of Gray! I feel like I'm a little stronger than that simple-minded Gray, but my aura is far inferior to Gray's. If I'm not careful, I might get hit by Gray's wild punches.

Having assessed Cana's combat strength, Eleven stopped passively taking hits. He used his Telekinesis to create a giant hand, sweeping it horizontally and sending all the magic cards in the sky flying away, instantly calming the sky that had been filled with flying magic.

"Hey~ Cana, I'm going to retaliate!" Eleven grinned smugly at Cana, took a step forward, and unleashed Telekinesis like a giant serpent striking out. He was about to start bullying her.

"The Lightning-Summoning Fate!" To everyone's surprise, Cana, instead of panicking, surged with magic and shouted the name of magic once again.

However, this time no cards flew out of Cana's hand; instead, the magic circles lit up at the feet of Eleven, showing the cards that he had initially knocked down.

This was actually a trap that Cana had set from the beginning; it would be triggered if Eleven moved even one step. Cana breathed a sigh of relief; she was so afraid that Eleven would defeat her without moving an inch. It's so great that Eleven doesn't have the habit of showing off!

Eleven was startled; he admitted he had underestimated his opponent. He never expected Cana to scheme against him. It turned out the cards she shot out at the beginning weren't just to show off her magic circle! One really shouldn't let jealousy blind one!

Caught off guard, Eleven's defense was too late; he could only withstand the attack. Countless blue lightning bolts crawled up his body, crackling and flashing.

"Ah~ Huh?"

Eleven, who had been bracing himself for the pain of the electric shock, started screaming in advance, but as he screamed, he suddenly realized that it didn't hurt as much as he had imagined!

Although the blue lightning scorched his body and made his hair stand on end, it didn't have the same effect as Laxus's lightning, which produced sparks and tore his skin apart!

Having endured countless baptisms of Laxus's raging lightning, Eleven now felt a little disappointed. Why did this mild, ineffective electric shock feel so unsatisfying?

Cana looked expectantly at Eleven amidst the lightning. She didn't expect to defeat Eleven, but she at least wanted to teach this guy who had mocked her a lesson.

However, when she saw that Eleven, who was surrounded by lightning, still had the leisure to show a melancholy expression and secretly scratch his belly, Cana was utterly desperate.

Once the lightning's effects subsided, Eleven straightened up and shook his arms. Although he looked disheveled, he hadn't actually suffered any real harm.

"Cana, this trap is pretty good! Hahaha, I'm going to retaliate now, are you ready?" Eleven was excited; now he could finally get his revenge, he was going to spank Cana's little bottom!

"Ah, well, I give up, I'm not playing anymore~"

However, at this moment, Cana suddenly raised her hand listlessly, indicating that she was giving up. She couldn't win anyway, and monsters like Eleven and Laxus were simply not worth messing with; it was just asking for trouble. If she wanted to win, she should have just challenged Gray!

"Um... Cana? No way?" Eleven awkwardly, thinking he had misheard.

"Hmm, I admit defeat. Hehe, I'm no match for you at all~" Cana's gaze was somewhat vacant at this moment, revealing an expression like that of a salted fish.

"Um... I haven't..." Eleven hesitated, unsure of what to say.

"The match is over, the winner Eleven!"

At this moment, Erza stood by and dutifully announced the duel's result. Then she jogged over to Cana's side and gently comforted the defeated Cana. Seeing Cana's dejected and listless state, she glared at Eleven and complained that he had gone too far, actually damaging little Cana's confidence!

The other members of the guild were not surprised by the result and left the scene with jokes.

Only Eleven remained rooted to the spot in his pre-attack stance, his hair, which had been whipped up by the electric shock, still disheveled in the wind.

Eleven felt he'd really gotten the short end of the stick! Not only had he failed to bully anyone, but he'd also gotten beaten up. What kind of situation was this?!

He slumped to the ground, looking up at the sky with a blank stare.

Why do I feel absolutely no joy even though I won? Is this what they mean by winning the game but losing at life? It's so profound!

(꒪⌓꒪) Stunned~

Ah! The sunlight is so bright today, but why isn't it warm at all?

At this moment, Cana, who was standing at the guild entrance, secretly glanced back at Eleven, who was looking up at the sky in a disheveled state. Surprisingly, she quietly put away her lazy expression and a mischievous smile appeared on her lips, and she became quirky again.

"Hmph! You want to fight back? You'll be so mad!" Cana snorted, her hands behind her back, hopping and skipping as she walked. No matter what, she'd gotten a free beating from Eleven today, and she was ecstatic!

Despite losing the match, Cana seemed quite smug. Only the simple-minded Erza kept trying to comfort Cana, offering her platitudes.
