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

Chapter 18 The woman in the guild is a tiger

Could Erza, who looks resolute and has a terrifying aura, be so careful about bringing specialties to her companions?

Rhodes was a little curious about what was in the gift box... It couldn't be armor, right?

"I'll open it now!"

Lucky laid the gift box flat, gently untied the ribbon with the bow on it, and opened the lid.

"What is this?" Rhodes couldn't recognize what was inside for a while.

First of all, it's not armor, but it is indeed a metal product. It looks like a statue of a woman?

No, there shouldn't be weird gaps and handles on the statue.

While Rhodes was wondering, Lucky had already pulled the handle and opened the 'metal statue', revealing the ferocious spikes inside.

Unexpectedly, Lucky's expression was not one of horror, but surprise: "Ah! It's the Iron Lady!"

She stroked the cold metal and blushed on her face: "That's great!"

"Iron...iron..." Rhodes' tongue was a little tangled, his head was buzzing, and he unconsciously took a half step back.

This thing is a torture device! Aren't you talking about specialty products? Where's specialty is torture instruments?

Why should you give a gift to someone like the Iron Lady?

And Lucky can hold this thing back without changing his face. He has the same natural power as Kana, right?

The big question is, girl, why are you so excited?

Mira was smiling: "Ah, the gift Erza prepared is so thoughtful."

Carefully? Do you have ulterior motives?

"No, um, Mira..." Rhodes considered his words, "Are you sure this is a gift, not a death threat or something?"

"How could it be? Lucky's favorite thing is all kinds of torture instruments. This well-made iron lady is the best gift for her."

Mira tilted her head, "Hey, didn't I tell you? There are many torture instruments in Lucky's room."

"..." You only told me that Lucky's collection was very interesting, and you also offered me a chance to visit it.

Rhodes realized a serious problem. The girls in the guild, such as Miji, Kana, Lucky, Erza...

Although one is more beautiful than the other, each one is also more difficult to mess with.

That is to say, Rebi is cute and has a good personality. Although Mila is a bit sinister, she is very gentle most of the time.

I just don't know if there is anything else he doesn't understand.

The afternoon was a little leisurely, and Rhodes had time to practice magic for a while.

Erza seemed to have nothing to do, so she came to the guild to chat with a girl with long green hair.

Thanks to her, the tavern was as peaceful as ever.

But according to Mira, if Erza was quiet when she first came back, everyone would be in trouble again soon.

Leibby held a small notebook and reviewed the pronunciation she learned in the morning. Whenever she saw Rhodes suspending his practice, she would come to him to learn a few strokes of Chinese characters.

During this period, Makarov also helped Rhodes change the summoning spell.

Generally speaking, when the Celestial Spirit Mage summons the Celestial Spirit, he will call the name of the Celestial Spirit and use the corresponding key.

Rhodes only has one pendant, but it is connected to different summons at the same time. Now he can only distinguish them by calling their names.

When he becomes more proficient in using magic, he can omit most of the lengthy spell chanting and just call his name.

The initial spell would be used when he sensed a new summon.

"Toad, three wolves, six birds, stone monsters..." Rhode counted the wild monsters he might summon next with his fingers. He felt that there was still a long, long way to go before the little dragons and the big dragons.

Although I don’t know if any of the ordinary wild monsters are particularly good at beating them, but judging from the size of the river crab today, even the weak monsters in the game like Three Wolves and Six Birds can be summoned based on their size alone. It can be called a beast.

For Rhodes, the most important thing now is to increase magic power and improve magic proficiency.

In terms of magic, the time you can meditate every day is limited. If you are not in a hurry, the only thing you can practice is magic.

Rhodes caught Worm cheating on food and drink in the tavern, and started practicing the magic of 'closing the door', that is, canceling the summons.

"I am the one who connects the two worlds. Follow my wishes and return to the abyss, Poro!"

After the chanting of the closing curse was completed, Worm's figure gradually became transparent and finally disappeared completely. "Successful!" Rhodes was very happy that he could do it the first time.

Then he began to chant the summoning spell again:

"I am... go through the door! Open the door of the abyss, Poro!"

The magic vortex appeared and disappeared, and Worm reappeared in front of Rhodes.

"Very good, do it again!"

"...Return to the abyss! Poro!"

"...Open the door to the abyss, Poro!"

"…return…"

"…Open…"

Rhodes practiced magic over and over again, and Worm could only cooperate.

It's okay at first, but it gets boring as the times increase, and the little guy becomes more and more casual.

Sometimes he appears standing, sometimes he appears sitting, and sometimes he appears lying on his back trying to cross his legs but unable to do so...

Worm felt so annoyed, but Rhodes couldn't help it. Who said it consumed less magic power?

If it were to summon river crabs instead, with Rhode's current magic power, he would have to rest twice at most, and there would be no way to practice repeatedly.

"Uu~ah, ah...ah sneeze~~~"

After countless practice sessions, Worm sneezed hard when he appeared in the tavern again.

The long tongue has been retracted by it, and a long snot is hanging up.

Rhodes' first reaction was: "So you have a nose."

Worm sniffed hard, turned around and faced Rhodes with his butt, and the little horn on his head drooped - he was a little angry.

It was a harsh winter over the Howling Abyss, but summer had already entered the Kingdom of Fiore. After going back and forth between hot and cold so many times, even the Poro was about to catch a cold.

"Ah, I'm sorry, it's my fault."

What should I do if Poro is angry?

Rhodes thought for a while and said tentatively: "Mira, I want an omelette..."

Worm's originally drooping little horn stood up.

“…and another bowl of tomato and egg soup?”

Worm turned around and stuck out his tongue again, with happiness written all over his face.

Although I haven’t fully understood Worm’s hobbies yet, eggs are definitely one of Worm’s favorite foods.

"It's so coaxing." Rhodes skillfully reached out to touch his head, corners, scratched his chin, and rubbed his belly.

Mira smiled and helped him order, but a slightly harsh voice sounded from above:

"Have you finally calmed down? You guys have been noisy since the beginning."

Rhodes raised his head. The person speaking was a blond young man with a lightning scar on his right eye.

Wearing something like a pair of headphones, wearing a tan top, and a coat - it's obviously summer.

At this time, he put his hands on the railing on the second floor and looked down at Rhodes with an unkind look on his face.
