Riyao Takes On Six
The three members of the Blue Pegasus trio and the three members of the Mermaid Heel stared at each other.
Xiang looks at Risley, Risley looks at Xiang.
Six pairs of eyes met in the air, and the atmosphere remained subtly quiet for half a second.
"Join forces?"
"Join forces!"
All six of them sprang into action, simultaneously casting spells.
A magic circle lit up from his palm, its light shimmering and intertwining across the street.
Instead of aiming at the Riyao, it blasted towards the opponent.
The two streams of magic collided in the middle, exploding into a burst of white light.
The air blast surged to both sides, making the hair of the people on both sides stand on end.
Xiang's bangs were blown into a middle part, and Risley's two little braids exploded.
Riyao swayed her legs.
One leg was hanging over the eaves, swinging up and down.
He rested his chin on his hand, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Just as the first generation said."
The two sides separated immediately upon contact, each retreating several steps.
Hibiki clutched his shoulder where the magic had grazed him, wincing and hissing in pain.
Risley dusted off her clothes and rolled her eyes.
Both of them wore speechless expressions.
What happened to the promised collaboration?
These people are definitely unreliable.
Riyao clapped his hands and jumped off the roof.
He landed on both feet with his knees slightly bent, and the impact created two cracks in the ground.
He smashed the ground with a punch, sending rubble flying and raising a cloud of dust that instantly enveloped the six people.
Chapati gripped the microphone tightly and sprang up from his chair.
"Oh! It seems Fairy Tail's Riyao fighter is going to take on six people one-on-one!"
Dark shadows flickered in the smoke and dust.
A flash of green light appeared, and a figure flew out of the smoke and dust, did two somersaults in the air, slammed its back against the wall, and slid down the wall.
A scratch mark was left on the wall, running from top to bottom.
Xiang collapsed against the wall, his eyes rolled back, but he was unharmed.
His mouth was slightly open, his expression still frozen in the moment before he was knocked away.
He probably didn't even see how he got infected.
"Hibiki of Blue Pegasus is the first to be eliminated! Fairy Tail gets one point!"
Ivan waved his hand, releasing the magic.
[Blizzard]
A blizzard erupted from his hand, ice crystals carrying wind pressure that dispersed the smoke and dust.
The moment his vision cleared, Ivan's eyes widened.
Riyao's fist was already upon him.
The force of the punch sent his bangs flying backward, revealing his entire forehead.
Ivan shouted anxiously.
"Mr. Riyao, please don't slap me in the face!!"
"Can."
Riyao's fist suddenly slid down, landing a powerful punch on his lower abdomen.
The fist sank into the fabric of his abdomen, imbued with a Healing Magic; green light seeped into the knuckles.
Ivan curled up like a shrimp, his feet off the ground, and flew to Xiang's side.
He bounced against the wall, his eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.
There was absolutely no injury on his face.
Lian scratched her face, twisted her waist, and looked at Riyao with a dazed expression.
"If you want to hit me, that's fine too..."
The Riyao silently.
His lips twitched twice, and goosebumps appeared on his arms.
He rubbed his arms, and goosebumps fell all over his body.
At a time like this, they're still doing this stupid thing.
With a kick, the sole of his shoe imprinted on Lian's side.
Ren flew sideways, spun one and a half times in the air, and landed between Hibiki and Ivan, resting her head on Hibiki's shoulder, unconscious.
His posture was serene, with a strange smile playing on his lips.
Chapati cried out in alarm, his voice hoarse from shouting.
"He defeated the three members of Blue Pegasus in just five seconds! Riyao truly lives up to his title as the Kingdom's Number One Healer..."
He paused for a moment, then coughed, covering the microphone.
"Healing Mage, uh... Mr. Yajima, what do you think?"
Yajima picked up his teacup, took a sip, and gently scraped the lid against the rim of the cup twice.
Steam rose from the rim of the cup, blurring his expression.
"He's worried about people causing trouble at the hospital; being physically capable won't be a problem."
Extremely calm.
Riyao turned to look at the three people at Mermaid Heel.
He shook the dust off his hands and took a step forward.
"It's your turn."
Risley grinned, but the curve of her lips was a little stiff, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.
She instinctively took a half step back, her toes shuffling on the ground.
"Oh dear, we're all old acquaintances, why the need for fighting?"
"Of course! Shouldn't you, an old acquaintance, help out?"
As soon as Riyao finished speaking, he rushed over.
With a burst of strength under his feet, two more cracks appeared in the ground, and he vanished from the spot.
Risley raised her hand and released magic, a gravitational field unfolded in front of her, and the air became viscous.
She tried to slow down the Riyao's speed using repulsive force.
Magic circles appeared on both Beth and Arania's hands, and light gathered in their palms.
The two men simultaneously aimed ahead, preparing to unleash a concentrated barrage of fire.
Beth's lips were pressed tightly together, and Arania's breathing quickened noticeably.
Riyao vanished before their eyes.
It wasn't acceleration; the person simply vanished from their sight.
The three of them stared wide-eyed, looking around.
His head turned left and right, his hair swung back and forth.
"Above!"
Riyao called out.
All three of them looked up.
There was nothing there, just an empty sky.
He burst out from the side.
It emerged from the shadow of a house, moving so fast that it left a trail of afterimages.
Before Beth could react, he was punched and sent flying, crashing into Hibiki and the other two.
The four people were piled on top of each other, muffled groans rising and falling, their arms and legs tangled together.
Risley spread her arms wide, and a repulsive force erupted from her palms, pressing down on the Riyao.
Riyao shone, I slid sideways past the edge of the repulsive force, the hem of my clothes brushing against it with a sizzling sound.
He jumped in front of Arania, turned sideways and kicked out, his shin sweeping across Arania's waist.
Arania flew sideways and crashed into Beth.
The five people huddled together, their arms and legs intertwined, their muffled groans blending into one.
Risley stopped giggling.
The corners of her mouth went from upturned to flat, and then from flat to downturned.
Raise both hands above your head, palms open, fingers spread.
How can I fight him? And this is without him transforming.
"I surrender! I'll go lie down myself, please don't lay a hand on me."
"Hey, as everyone knows, I can hit people without leaving any marks. Want to try?"
Riyao took two steps forward, a harmless smile on his face.
"No need to try."
Risley had already reached the crowd, turned around, and obediently lay down.
Place your hands on your lower abdomen, keeping your posture upright, close your eyes, and breathe evenly.
Riyao sighed.
"Really, we're old acquaintances, why won't you let me see you off?"
Risley rolled over, turning her back to Riyao, and buried her face in Arania's arms.
Chapati shouted excitedly, spitting onto the microphone.
"Wow! Riyao eliminated six people in one go, scoring six points in such a short time!"
Riyao waved his hand, not turning his head back, his back view quite dashing.
"Basic operations are not a big deal."
The audience was thrilled.
Cheers erupted in the arena.
Fairy Tail is awesome!
Chapati saw another screen of light and adjusted his glasses.
"The remaining four members of Fairy Tail have also begun to move! They seem to have a clear objective, all heading towards the direction where there are people."
Riyao picked up a stone and weighed it in his hand.
He squinted one eye, aimed at a tall tower in the distance, and threw it with all his might.
The stone sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound as it flew towards the top of the tower.
It left a gray-white trail in the air, getting smaller and smaller until it finally became a black dot.
Following Mavis's logic, Rufus of Sabertooth likes to stand on tall buildings.
Let's try dropping a piece; what if we win?
Riyao dusted off the stone dust on his hands and turned to walk in another direction.
