Fairy Tail's Sun Guardian

Chapter 7 - Sun Phoenix Slayer Magic: Limitless Potential (Edited)

[After the fight]

(Inside the Guild Hall, Medical Bay)

After gently placing Natsu on the medical bed, Izuku turned to the Guild nurse, Shizune, with a flicker of worry and concern in his eyes. "Shizune-san, may I request permission to offer some assistance to Natsu?" he asked, his voice carrying a hint of worry. Shizune hesitated, her confusion evident, but ultimately gave a hesitant nod, unsure of what Izuku had in mind.

Approaching Natsu's side, Izuku positioned his hands just above the wounds, his gaze fixed on the injured body. Sensing Shizune's lingering concern, he softly requested, "Shizune-san, would you mind drawing back the curtain, allowing sunlight to enter the room?"

Perplexed but willing to comply, Shizune slowly pulled back the curtain, allowing a gentle stream of sunlight to filter into the space. As the golden rays danced across the room, Izuku nodded his head and began his work.

Closing his eyes and whispering something under his breath, Izuku's hand became enveloped in the same luminous golden glow. The ethereal light emanating from his hand flowed with a serene grace, delicately caressing Natsu's wounds.

Shizune stood in awe, captivated by the enchanting spectacle unfolding before her. She watched, her concerns momentarily overshadowed by a sense of wonder, as the golden energy continued to weave its way towards Natsu, bestowing a soothing warmth upon his injured body.

As Shizune observed in astonishment, the burn wounds on Natsu's body started to undergo a remarkable transformation, gradually healing before her very eyes. She stood there, utterly shocked by the incredible display of Izuku's magical healing abilities. As he completed the mending process, Izuku turned around to face Shizune, a warm smile gracing his features as he gently patted Natsu's head.

To his surprise, Izuku found himself met with the expression of a bewildered and impressed nurse. Shizune couldn't contain her curiosity any longer and bombarded him with a series of questions. "What just happened? How did you heal Natsu? And why did you ask me to move the curtain?"

Caught off guard and feeling a bit flustered by the close proximity to a woman, Izuku let out a nervous laugh before gathering his thoughts to respond. "W-well, you see, it's my magic. I can... How do I explain this? Ahh, I used the sunlight to enhance his immune function. Sun light already grants everyone a enhanced immune function. I just used my magic to boost the effects of his immune system, stimulating the activity of immune cells such as macrophages and lymphocytes. Since these cells play a crucial role in identifying and eliminating damaged cells,  a faster healing process is possible... I am not capable of healing others to your extent, of course. But I thought I can try to help this since it was my carelessness that harmed him this much" he explained, his voice carrying a mixture of pride and shyness.

Shizune's eyes widened in amazement, her astonishment evident. She couldn't help but admire Izuku's remarkable abilities and the way he utilized sunlight for healing. "That's truly incredible," she exclaimed, her voice filled with genuine admiration. "I wouldn't believe the phenomenon you just explained if not for witnessing that through my own eyes, Izuku-san. But thank you for healing Natsu."

Izuku nodded, a humble expression on his face. "It's the least I could do for a friend," he replied softly, appreciating Shizune's gratitude. "If there's anything else I can assist with, please don't hesitate to ask."

With a newfound respect for Izuku's magical prowess, Shizune nodded and thanked him once again before turning her attention back to Natsu, who now lay peacefully, his injuries no longer a cause for concern.

Curiosity getting the better of her, Shizune couldn't help but ask one more question, her voice laced with intrigue. "And what about you, Izuku-san? Can you heal yourself as well?" Izuku, still wearing his gentle smile, simply nodded in response. He didn't mention the extent of his regenerative skills though.
