The Repeaters

54. The next enemy

The fight had begun, everyone was cheering with excitement. But that's not the case for Leonardo and the other friends they seem a little worried even though they still admit their determination.

Swosh

Laxus's fire gushed very quickly towards Lily. Lily managed to dodge, but she burned her right shoulder.

Lily ran towards Laxus, but the huge fire once again came very quickly making Lily mental.

But Lily still stood up and stepped forward, unknowingly continuing to attack and was hit by Laxus' fire. The same thing keeps repeating.

To make the audience's gaze become rather pityful with Lily, well. This fight is so one-sided, after all. There was no way a weak girl like her would win against him.

Bruars

"Yeah"

A huge fire once again gushed making him crash and roll on the ground.

Laxus walked towards Lily with a slightly irritated face. His veins were clear and he was very full of emotions.

"why don't you give up?" laxus asked in a pressure-filled tone.

Not answering Lily standing on the ground, she walked towards Laxus with a body full of wounds and staggering. Her body looked very weak, but Lily's eyes were still full of willpower to fight.

Looking at the blazing blue eyes made Laxus move his teeth. "Curtain! You stupid woman."

“just get here LILY!”

The sound of screaming came from the audience seats. This loud voice came from Leonardo, he seemed to no longer be able to hold back his anger and worry. Despite acknowledging Lily's desire, Leonardo from earlier looks very anxious.

“You don't have to fight anymore! Forget about Monika, it's not your fault. Little girls like you don't have to fight more than that.”

Leonardo added the sentence once more. Every look at Lily who fought hard made Leonardo's heart slightly open with Lily. It was a little hard to say, but he was a little amazed at the bravery of the girl. But still seeing the battered Lily hurt his heart.

Heard all the complaints. Lily did not retreat, she instead looked at Leonardo with a warm smile, she did not seem to hear the words to retreat.

“Sorry, Leo. It's not just because of Monika, I just don't want the guy I love to get hurt for fighting Laxus, so as much as possible I'll beat this guy.”

Mumbled Lily. If she dared to say that out loud it would probably be a way of expressing her miserable feelings, but Lily did not seem to have the courage to increase the volume of the voice.

After muttering, Lily's gaze focused on Laxus, the eyes indicating that she was ready to die if to defeat the enemy. Laxus was troubled by those eyes, he was sweating and

Laxus once again let out a strong fire of fury from his right hand, but Lily ran through the flames and dodged to the right side.

People's gazes looked surprised, Laxus also widened his eyes. It was unexpected that Lily could dodge the attack.

Lily gathered the red light in her hand and threw the light right on Laxus' face to create a very powerful fire and explosion.

Buars

The fighting area was smoky because of the explosion, the audience could not see the match clearly. They look confused.

"What's going on now?"

"Did the girl manage to hit Laxus?"

"Not more importantly was I surprised it turned out that a girl like her could cast such powerful fire magic."

"Yes, you're right."

Such was the whisper of the spectators, from the smoke covering the match they could only fathom and imagine what was going on.

Most now put their hopes on Lily, even though they could not win, but at least they hoped that the little girl could hurt Laxus. Perhaps the audience was affected with unwillingness to retreat from Lily.

But that look of hope disappeared as the smoke began to fade and exposed a blond girl lying weakly on the ground. The girl closed her eyes and there was no fighting spirit like before.

He was right to faint, on the other hand Laxus stood upright despite his face being covered in wounds, but he managed to stand up gallantly. Marked winner.

Anyone who sees this knows that the winner is Laxus. The black-haired and dashing man Laxus raised his right hand up signifying that he was a winner and proud of it.

Leo's eyes became slightly different from before, eyes full of anger fixed on Laxus. Today the match is over. The winner of this match was Laxus. Tomorrow is the final match. What Leonardo and Laxus will do, the one vs one match that awaited finally appeared.

***

Once again in the health room the blonde girl lay weak, her usual smiley face replaced by a face that closed its eyes and looked limp. There was Leonardo sitting on a chair and staring at Lily.

He's been waiting a long time, ever since Lily fainted he's been here. Other friends like Bryan, River, Razor and Elina have gone back to the dorm. But Leonardo is still waiting for Lily who wears a white patient.

Right now it is midnight the health room is very quiet. Surely there is only a patient who sleeps soundly, but Leonardo is still waiting for Lily to wake up.

“L-Leo, yes? Hahaha, sorry, you waited long enough right?” He tried to laugh at eliminating this awkward situation. Because when fighting Leo had to stop him.

“....”

A silent atmosphere surrounded the two people, Lily tried to open her mouth, but it was so difficult that at the end, she involuntarily shed tears.

The man who had been looking down from earlier now turned to look at Lily who looked crying. The eyes of wonder are drawn from Leonardo.

“Why are you crying? Does anyone hurt?”

He shook his head. “No, I ha-just wanted to apologize. I'm stubborn, right?”

The confused look turned serious. “Yes, you fool, don't you know that I'm worried.”

“Sorry.”

“Yeah, forget about it-”

“A-a-I just wanted to teach him a lesson, because Laxus Monika is suffering, and so is Leo, I want to protect you. Sorry, now you have to fight Laxus. You still look haunted by Monika's death, so I can't let you fight her, I'm afraid if something happens to Leo.”

“Why are you worried about me like that?”

“Yang, as it thought to itself!" Lily with a reddened face and hugged the pillow to her chest.

“And also, L-Leo hates me now right?” He let out watery eyes looking sad.

“Why should I hate you?” Leo looked a little emotional with the bodo Lily question all of a sudden.

“That's because I denied you. so I thought maybe you hate me now.” After saying, tears came out of Lily's eyes, kept coming out and Lily tried to hide it by hugging the pillow.

“No, how could I hate you.” Leo said with a very serious face and tone, but Lily still insisted.

“Then I want the proof.”

“If you don't hate me try c-kiss-” He almost said an embarrassing thing with a red face extinguished, but as if knowing what the girl was thinking.

Leo had already moved first, he very quickly stood up and brought his face closer to Lily's face to give a warm kiss on her lips. She kissed the blonde girl right on her lips for a few minutes.

Silence and a pounding heart filled this place. Lily's face was so hot that even as she wanted to burn, she could feel nothing but the warmth that was on her lips and heart, originally from the shame she tried to push, she said, but he dissolved in happiness and closed his eyes.

It was just a short kiss no tongue-in-hand play between them, but it had managed to create warmth for the two people.

Once felt enough Leo distanced his face and saw the face of Lily who was already short and very red.

She smiled at Lily's adorable reaction. “That's my answer, I don't hate you. Quite the opposite.”

Leo once again brought his face closer to that extremely embarrassed Lily, as their faces clung to each other at a fairly close distance. Lily could feel the breath of Leo, as well as Leo, she felt the breath of the girl who was blushing in shame.

Lily turned her face away, trying to hide the shame. But Leo pulled the face forcing her to look at him, Leo put his forehead on Lily's forehead, warmly she said, Leo,

“Don't be moody, I love Lily today. Can't have been long ago.”

Hearing the sudden speech, made Lily's heart feel like it was going to be dislodged, once again her face was reddish red, even until her ears and neck were reddened.

“BIar I made it clear, I already quite liked the usual Lily, but this time I liked her more, she looks very graceful and brave, even though she knows she has no chance of winning, she still struggles. When I look at you who are struggling I realize how I feel. Looks like I have feelings with this blonde girl.”

Blushes.

Lily cheeks blush and feel hot, “T-*- *.. *..” He may want to say thank you, but because he blushed so stammered,

Leo smiled and once again kissed Lily, but not on her lips but on her forehead.

She stepped out of the room leaving Lily who blushed in embarrassment.

“Lily rest easy. See the game tomorrow, I'll make Laxus Reply.”

She stepped away, Lily staring at the shoulders that were getting further away. When it disappeared he laid his body on the bed and rolled around. Maybe he was too happy with what happened.

“Ahhh, I didn't expect him to do that.”

His heart would be dislodged if he remembered the kiss, as if to withstand embarrassment, he hugged his pillow tightly. With a red face he said, “Leo.. stupid, who should have said such a thing I.”

"But Leo, I love you.”

The night ended with Lily finally falling asleep.
