The battle between Cana and Laxus, though brief, was fraught with risk. As one of the top powerhouses in the Fairy Tail guild, Laxus's gap in strength compared to Cana was obvious. However, the fact that he chose to use only basic Lightning Dragon Slayer Magic moves showed that he was already holding back in this fight.
After the match ended, Alan quickly announced the result and immediately provided some basic treatment for Cana. Though she had sustained a few injuries, Cana's spirits rebounded rapidly. Gildarts hurried over to check on his daughter, his face a picture of worry.
Even though Cana shoved him away with a thoroughly resistant expression, Gildarts remained uneasy, repeatedly checking her over for injuries. This scene brought a smile to August's face; he had never imagined that the powerful Gildarts could have such a "doting father" side to him.
