When Akira opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was a rather familiar ceiling. ' Isn't this granny Porlyusica's place? ' he thought as he tried to move but found he was fully covered in bandages wrapped like a mummy.

'What the hell happened? Why am I bandaged like this?' Akira wondered. The explosion knocked him unconscious, but he still remembered the magnitude of the explosion. There is no way with his physique that he would be this injured.

Akira was deep in thought when Granny Porlyusica opened the door to his room and brought a tray full of medicines.

"Hmm, kid, you are awake; that's good. " Porlyusica noticed that Akira had become conscious and spoke in her usual irritated tone.

"Granny Porlyusica, can you tell me why I am wrapped like a mummy? " Akira asked with a smile.

"That kid Sera was the one who bandaged you like that. She said that you need to reflect on yourself for that reckless stunt you just did. And I totally agree with that lass. Your Fairy Tail members are nothing but crazy kids who don't take their safety seriously. " Porlyusica huffed as she placed the medicine near Akira.

Akira had a wry smile as he heard her complaints. Well, he had no words to refute that. What he did earlier was too reckless even for him. But he had no choice. He would rather make the duel a tie than lose.

"How is Laxus? " Akira asked as he looked at Granny Porlyusica, who was mixing some potions together.

"That kid is fine. He had his arm dislocated, so he would have to recuperate for a few days. I swear, that boy is just as reckless as his grandfather." As she finished mixing up the potions, Porlyusica spoke.

"Can you get up on your own? " she asked.

Akira nodded as he wiggled like a caterpillar and sat up on the bed.

"Good, here, drink this. This potion would help your body increase its regeneration speed, " Porlyusica said as he helped Akira gulp down the potion.

After taking one gulp, Akira made a face, wanting to spit out everything, but Porlyusica skillfully held his nose and made him gulp down everything.

Akira stuck out his tongue and complained, "Grandma Porlyusica, can't you do something about the taste of the medicine?" It was too bitter. "

The only response he received was a slap to the head. "Boy, if you are so disgusted by the taste, then don't come to me for treatment. I have better things to do than hear your whining. "

"Oww oww, I'm sorry, I was just joking, " Akira quickly apologized. He didn't want to taste the broom.

But Porlyusica didn't accept his apology, as she made him gulp down all the medicine at once. Akira could helplessly let her do what she wants.

And before he knew it, he could slowly feel his consciousness leave his body again. Those medicines are too bitter for his body to endure.

...

~The Next Day—

Akira walked out of Porlyusica's wooden hut with full recovery. As a half-dragon, his recovery speed is very high. And with the potions he drank yesterday, his already abnormal recovery speed was multiplied by several times, leading to a very quick recovery.

"Yawn, what should I do today? " Akira yawned as he walked towards the guild. He knew with his recent blunder Makarov or Sera would never let him go on a quest for at least a week. So he could either do his part-time work or go to the library to learn some new magic.

"Meh, learning new magic it is, " and Akira immediately made a decision. Who liked to work when they could goof off? And besides, he needs to learn teleportation magic and gravity magic for his future training.
