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

Chapter 21 What sounds good is a good start

The tavern was as lively as ever, and Erza's intimidation dropped significantly as the time she stayed in the guild increased.

Although she would still stand up and preach when the trouble went too far, but... the scar was healed and the pain was forgotten.

There will always be people who drink too much when they are chatting, or who start fighting when they are making trouble.

This resulted in Rhodes sometimes being forced to practice avoiding various flying objects.

After going to work in the morning, Rhodes left Worm behind and rushed to the library. He wanted to use Feng Yong's glasses to read some books about magic.

As for history and geography... let's leave it alone for now, and just ask Lebby to hear stories from time to time.

The pages of the book turned quickly, and the entire text and sentences on it were reflected in the lens. Rhodes was able to see every sentence clearly.

An encyclopedia with more than 700 pages, it only took Rhodes about 20 minutes to read it all.

Rhodes already has a rough understanding of many magics in his mind. Although it is not memorable, it is equivalent to reading it carefully.

This kind of prop is really useful for people who don’t need to read intensively but who like to read.

For those who don't need intensive reading and just want to broaden their knowledge, this is a perfect tool.

The reading speed of 32 times is too exaggerated. Rhodes doubted whether Feng Yong's glasses used time-related magic.

The inventor is a genius.

Putting the encyclopedia back in its place, Rhodes sat down and meditated with his eyes closed, giving his brain a little rest.

After a while, I looked for books related to ancient magic and space magic, and read them until I went to work at noon.

"You are Rhodes, right? My name is Marcus, and I use sand magic."

A young man ordered a drink, sat at the bar and chatted with Rhodes, "I've heard your legend, it's very powerful."

Rhodes was stunned: "Do I have any legend?"

Mira poured Marcus a glass of wine with a smile and listened with the same curiosity.

A gossip like her doesn't know what powerful legends Rhode has.

"That's it. Before I joined the guild, I easily defeated the beast tide and destroyed a large forest!"

Marcus waved his hand, "You are worthy of being our Fairy Tail mage. He is a perfect fit here!"

Rhodes also wanted to clarify the outrageous legend, but Marcus didn't give him a chance.

He asked: "Now, what kind of magic are you using? It must be very powerful, right?"

"It's not very powerful, I used..."

"Is it Natsu's kind of fire magic? In terms of destructive power, it must be fire, right?"

"No, it's..."

"That is earth magic. It is extremely destructive when used in the forest. I heard that Jura, one of the top ten magicians, uses earth magic. In addition..."

Rhodes tried to interrupt several times, but found that this person didn't give in at all. He looked very much like a barber shop lady he had met who was pulling people to apply for a card on the road.

"Marcus is the host of various guild activities. He usually likes to talk to people. And after he drinks, he will be a little..."

Mira whispered in Rhode's ear to introduce Marcus. She carefully considered her words and continued, "... He is a bit talkative and it is difficult to interrupt. Just listen quietly and listen to what he has to say."

"...Okay." Rhodes nodded. Compared to Lucky who likes to collect torture tools, Marcus talks a lot after drinking and is considered a normal person.

Mira reminded: "You can just leave if you don't want to hear it. In the guild, as long as you hate something, you can express it directly. There is no need to wrong yourself for things like politeness."

"It's okay. I'm a little curious about who spread the rumor that I destroyed a forest."

Rhodes was a little unhappy. He was obviously attacked by a wild beast, so why did he suddenly become a destructive maniac?

"Yes...yes, who would make up such a rumor?" Mira looked a little unnatural.

Of course she wasn't the one who started the rumor, she just truthfully told her companions about Rhodes' origin.

Beast tides and forest destruction are all real things. But for some reason, word spread that Rhodes easily defeated the beast and destroyed the forest.

Mira is not sure now whether she is the culprit.

Marcus droned on for almost five minutes before stopping to take a sip of beer to soothe his throat.

Just as Rhodes was about to take the opportunity to ask a question, a wine bottle flew over and hit Marcus on the back of the head.

"Pfft~~~~" Marcus spit out half a glass of beer in one breath, "Who is it!" This kind of question almost doesn't need an answer.

Marcus turned around and saw the conspicuous battle group in the tavern, and joined in without saying a word.

Rhodes dodged very quickly and was not sprayed by the drink.

Mira skillfully took out a rag and wiped the counter clean, and then watched her companions fight with a smile.

The fight continued until someone knocked over Erza's plate.

The air fell into a brief silence, and Natsu and Gray tried to sneak away.

"Give me... enough is enough!" Erza stood up suddenly, and her fists wearing gauntlets fell equally on the heads of every participant.

Several people, including Nazgre and Marcus, covered their heads and fell to the ground.

Erza clenched her fists: "Okay, since you want to fight so much, then I will fight with you until one of you can't stand up!"

"Love!" The blue cat Happy stood on the table and raised his hands, gloating, "They can't stand up anymore!"

"Haha..." Mira smiled happily, "Sure enough, it's like this again."

The word 'and' was used well. It simply gave Rhodes a full understanding of this guild.

"Here." Mira brought out a piece of pudding, "I'll give this to Erza later when the time is right."

Rhodes was puzzled: "When is the right time?"

Mira pointed at Erza and smiled without saying a word.

Erza, who had been so majestic just now, suddenly started to tremble, and she staggered back to her seat as if she had lost her soul.

She did not sit down, but squatted down and picked up a pile of broken porcelain pieces and smashed desserts from the ground: "My...strawberry pudding..."

The domineering Fairy Queen was as helpless as a little girl at this moment.

"Ah, Erza is so cute like this." Mira held her face, enjoying the strange fun.

"…" Now should be the 'right time', right? Rhodes walked towards Erza hesitantly.

"You guys..." The air pressure around Erza dropped, and she turned to stare viciously at the culprits lying on the ground.

Everyone couldn't help but tremble.

"Miss Erza?"

Rhodes shouted, and added the honorific specially.

"Um?"

Erza turned her head suddenly, with a shadow on her face, and one eye seemed to be shining red, like a beast about to become angry.

The astonishing aura made Rhodes palpitate, and he seemed to be stared into a low-pressure area by her eyes.

"Your pudding seems to be strawberry flavored, too." Rhodes managed to say this.

"..." The astonishing courage lasted for another second.

Then the queen turned into the big sister next door. She stood up, straightened her hair, and showed a gentle smile: "Thank you very much."

Erza even clenched her fists and began to self-examine, saying sadly: "Really, I almost got angry over a pudding. My practice is not enough."

Wings grew out of Hubby's back, and he flew to Rhode's ear without noticing anything, and complained: "He's obviously already angry."

"..." Rhodes said nothing and looked at it with admiration.

Kitty, do you really dare to say that? Isn’t it a good idea to give her some face?

Erza said seriously: "Speaking of which, aren't you Rhodes? I just joined the guild and you care so much about your companions. I'm very touched."

A truly moved expression appeared on her face, and she hugged Rhode's head into her arms as she spoke: "That's right, Fairy Tail should be like this!"

when!

Rhodes' head hit the hard metal armor, making a crisp sound, and his head was buzzing.

He stole a glance at Mira who gave him a thumbs up at the counter...

Is this also part of your plan, Miss Mira?
