Fairy Tail: I Don’t Want to Be the President

Chapter 16 Scout, Canyon Swift Crab

Just after asking that question, Rhodes saw himself.

Not looking with your own eyes, nor the feeling of looking in a mirror, but looking up from a bottom-up perspective.

His hands were resting on his head, and his arms blocked his view a little, but because the distance between his eyes was wide enough, he could still see his face.

Is this... the Swift Crab's perspective?

It felt strange to have two pictures suddenly appear in his mind. Rhodes retracted his hand and could immediately see his hand retracting action clearly from two angles.

When the Swift Crab gets up, the perspective will also change subtly.

Rhodes directed the Swift Crab to turn around, and he was back to back with it, instantly gaining a three-hundred-degree field of view.

Makarov nodded after hearing Rhode's description: "So it's a reconnaissance summoned beast, and it should have a wide range of uses."

Immediately afterwards, the Swift Crab showed off its maneuverability.

After letting Rhodes sit on its back, the swift crab crashed through the guild wall, ran to the lake, and performed a unique trick of floating on the water. It waved its six legs and moved on the lake as if it were on the ground.

Rhode's hands tightly grasped the two rein-like tentacles of the swift crab, feeling the strong wind coming from the pavement and the occasional splash of water on his body.

He didn't know how fast it was, but it was more exciting than the speedboat ride he took on East Lake - maybe because he didn't wear a life jacket.

"It is faster than ordinary horses and dolphin horses. It is also good to be able to move on water. Its destructive power is average, but..."

Makarov gave a rational evaluation. Looking at the damaged courtyard wall, he shouted at Rhodes' back,

"...Even so, don't destroy the guild casually!!"

…

"I'm sorry, it's my first time to ride a river crab. I don't understand its behavior. I didn't mean it..."

Rhodes pigeonholed Lebby.

We originally agreed to go to the library to study together, but now we can only painstakingly build the wall under the supervision of the president.

It doesn't matter if he doesn't know it, the president teaches on site, and he knows a little bit about carpentry and masonry - mainly because the president destroys the guild no less often than others, and he has become a good doctor after a long illness.

"It's okay, I just accidentally damaged a little of the wall."

Rebby showed great tolerance for this, perhaps because she was used to similar unexpected events.

"It just so happens that I have found a suitable common sense book. Let's find some suitable content and read it to you now."

"That's great, thank you Lebby!"

Rod was very happy. He used to like to use his mobile phone to play songs and crosstalk while doing things like cleaning, but now he is bored.

This girl is really considerate, no wonder Jet and Troy like her so much.

"First of all, there is this country, called the Kingdom of Fiore, with a population of about 17 million. It is located on the peninsula to the west of the mainland. It was recognized as a neutral country about 160 years ago..."

The voice of Rebby reading and explaining sounded somewhat pleasant to the ear.

Rhodes kept building walls. When he heard Fiore's population of 17 million, he felt that this country might not be too big.

It's good to be a neutral country. You don't have to worry too much about war, probably.

"The city of Magnolia where we are located is in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Fiore, not far from the border with neighboring Bosco. The population is about 60,000..."

In this regard, Rhodes heard Mira once say that magic has been popular in Magnolia since long ago, and it is considered a very prosperous city in the Kingdom of Fiore.

"Then the next step is the key point." Lebby specifically emphasized,

"Magic used to be something that was feared by people, so magicians were often persecuted in the past. In addition, magicians often fought among themselves, making the whole world unsettled."

"In order to change all this, 150 years ago, the world's first magician's guild, the Dragon of the Magic Array, was established.

The magicians began to unite, use magic to protect themselves and their companions, and also worked hard to communicate with ordinary people, and even solved their troubles for ordinary people and earned rewards. "

"Since then, magician guilds have appeared one after another, and magic has gradually become a part of people's lives. This has slowly evolved into a situation where magicians and ordinary people live in harmony."

"Then 97 years ago, in X686, our guild 'Fairy Tail' was established."

"'Do fairies have tails? After all, do fairies themselves really exist? All this is unknown, which means eternal mystery and eternal adventure.' - This is what the first president Mabis gave to fairies. The meaning of tail.”

Rebby's eyes sparkled when she said the latter words, and it was obvious that she really liked this guild.

This is the first time Rhodes has heard the meaning of the name Fairy Tail, and he feels a little romantic.

It was so romantic that he didn't even remember a few words about Fiore's history that Lebby said.

But it's not without gain, at least Rhodes learned that this is a country with a bit of a feudal monarchy.

There are kings, ministers, knights, and armies here.

Naturally, some people in the royal family and those who serve the royal authority also study magic.

Mages are more respected in many places, but they are still citizens of this country. They are still subject to the jurisdiction of the royal family and do not enjoy the same privileges as nobles with titles.

At the same time, in order to maintain the stability of the magic world, there is also an organization called the Magic Council, which is responsible for monitoring the behavior of magicians, sanctioning the Dark Guild, etc.

But when Lebby mentioned the Senate, her expression became very strange, as if she didn't like this institution, and was even a little afraid of it.

In this way, Rhodes doesn't understand. What are you afraid of the organization that sanctions the Dark Guild? Isn't our Fairy Tail a regular guild?

broken.

Rhodes realized that he had forgotten to ask about this - Fairy Tail...is a regular guild, right?

…

It was a pleasure to spend time with Rebby.

Whether she is explaining history and geography or explaining the basics of magic, the little girl is very thorough.

Rhodes, a person with almost zero basic knowledge, didn't find it difficult to understand.

Moreover, during the explanation process, many relevant stories were often told, which made Rhodes marvel that Lebby's knowledge was even broader than that of his senior year in high school.

When Rhodes had almost repaired the damaged courtyard wall, Rebby said she was tired and looked at him helplessly.

"...Oh, yes, Chinese." Rhodes understood the look in her eyes, "Shall I wash my face first?"

In fact, he wanted to take a shower and change clothes, but he was very uncomfortable after working for a long time.

"If you want to wash your face, let me help you! Three-dimensional text·WATER!" Lebby waved her arms and wrote the word "water" in the air with her fingers.

The words that glowed with magic when she wrote them really turned into letters composed of clear water after she finished writing.

And following Lebby's control, it floated in front of Rhodes: "Use this."

Rhodes looked at the word water in front of him, which was composed of water, and tentatively put his hand in...

You can actually wash your hands like in a basin, and you can even splash a handful on your face to wash your face.

"What a convenient magic, it's just...what the hell, yes, it does what you say."

"Hehe... It's not that exaggerated." Leibby was a little embarrassed after being praised. After Rhodes washed his face, he controlled the water characters to fly into the lake like ordinary water flow.

"And I don't use it well. I can only provide a little assistance when my companions are fighting."

"I think this magic will definitely come in handy."

Rhodes felt that the three-dimensional text was very similar to the scene in some novels where you use a pen to write and fight, so the potential should be great.

"Then let me teach you the pronunciation of Chinese characters first."

Rhodes took the light pen that Lebby had just used and wrote the initials and finals of Chinese Pinyin in the air.

After thinking about it, I marked it with the basic syllables of the languages ​​of this world, and then taught her to read them one by one.

Lebby read and memorized it enthusiastically, and didn't stop until Lucky came to call Rod to work.
