I haven't gotten wax on myself since I was very little, but I do seem to remember it hurting.

But how much pain it gives isn't really the issue here.

Lucy was clearly crying in pain during and after the ordeal and needed to be comforted by her friends afterwards and yet Erza showed not even the slightest hesitation or remorse. That is the real issue here for me.

That's also the difference why it doesn't bother me when she hits Gray or Natsu. They beat each other up all the time anyway and even consider the occasional fight fun. For them to be hit isn't much of an issue so it isn't much of an issue for me either... also they usually do something to deserve the beating.

But Lucy clearly does mind having this done to her, isn't usually going around having this kind of thing done to her and certainly did nothing to deserve it in this Omake either.
