Fairy Tail: Vector Manipulation Chapter 12

The courier looked suspiciously at the still-young Chen Fan and, seeing that no one else nearby had spoken, said, "Mr. Chen Fan, is it? Please sign here."

With a grand sweep of his pen, Chen Fan signed the two large characters 'Chen Fan,' then took his things and walked into the guild.

The courier stared blankly at Chen Fan's signature, his face twisting into an awkward expression. What the heck was this?

Those two characters were crooked and messy, not even as neat as an old cockroach's crawl. He casually crumpled the paper into a ball, tossed it into the trash, and walked away without looking back.

After entering the guild, Chen Fan carefully picked out a corner and set up a table, covering it with a white cloth. He took a white lab coat from his package—the kind doctors often wore—but beneath the collar on the back was the emblem of the Fairy Tail guild. Below the emblem were two large characters:

"Benevolence."

They covered nearly the entire back of the coat. He then took more things from the package: stethoscopes, surgical tools, disinfectant—neither too much nor too little. Before long, a small clinic had been set up.

Afterward, he took out two banners and placed them beside it. One read, "Miraculous Hands," while the other read, "Instant Recovery."

Then he took a pair of glasses from the package and put them on before sitting in his chair, waiting for customers to come to him. He looked exactly like a doctor selling fake medicine.

While Chen Fan was busy setting everything up, everyone in the guild stopped what they were doing and silently watched him fuss with this and that. Once they saw that he had finished, they still had no idea what he was doing. And whenever something like this happened—

Everyone in the guild except Chen Fan turned their gazes toward Natsu. Sure enough, that guy sidled over again. The others were deeply moved. He really was the type to take charge whenever something happened. They pricked up their ears and continued eavesdropping.

Natsu walked up to Chen Fan and asked in confusion, "Chen Fan, what are you doing? And how do you read those two words on your back?"

"Can't you tell? I'm a doctor. If any of you get hurt, big or small, I can treat you. As for those two words on my back, isn't it 'Benevolence'? You don't even know that? You really are uncultured." Chen Fan looked at Natsu with utter disdain.

His eyes plainly said, You're an idiot.

Natsu was furious. Fighting back the urge to hit him, he roared, "What do you mean, I'm uncultured? Look at how you wrote those two words!"

Chen Fan took off his lab coat, held it up in front of himself, and examined it carefully. He did not think there was anything wrong with it. It was quite good—very good. It had plenty of personal style.

The two words on the coat were just like Chen Fan's signature from before: equally crooked and messy. No wonder that signature had disgusted the courier.

This one was even worse. Resisting the urge to comment, Natsu picked up the pen on Chen Fan's table and vigorously wrote the two characters for 'Benevolence.'

It had to be said that Natsu's handwriting was quite good—at least much better than Chen Fan's. Comparing the two side by side, Chen Fan felt his face redden. This was truly a case of goods being thrown away once compared!

Using his superpower to calm the blood rushing to his face, he said expressionlessly, "This is art, understand? Do you understand what art is? Hm?" The last question came in an interrogative tone.

That one sentence stunned Natsu. He really did not know what art was. Countless question marks seemed to appear above his head as he thought as hard as he could. Before long, smoke actually began rising from his head.

Seeing the smoke, Gray leaped over from nearby and used Ice Magic on Natsu's head, freezing him so badly that his whole body shuddered.

Natsu turned around and roared at Gray, "What are you doing? Looking for a fight?" At the same time, he swung his fist at Gray.

Gray returned the punch and said, "Smoke was coming out of your head. I was saving you." With one punch, he sent Natsu flying into several other guild members.

Natsu quickly ran back, punched Gray, and said, "I'm not even afraid of fire, let alone a little smoke. You clearly just wanted to fight."

And so, amid one insult after another, they started fighting. Before long, the entire guild had descended into chaos, and everyone started brawling.

Guild Master Makarov desperately tried to keep track of who had broken what so he could demand compensation afterward.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan was curled up in a corner, chuckling gleefully. I didn't expect business to come knocking so quickly. Hehehe. The more he thought about it, the happier he became, until he finally let out a spine-chilling laugh.

Erza

"Come on in, come on in." Chen Fan grinned at the person standing before his table, guiding him to a seat with an extremely lecherous expression.
