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

Chapter 25 Practical Training

The battle location was chosen in the guild's backyard.

In fact, Loki wanted to go to the street in front, but Rhodes refused.

He estimated that he had only learned magic for a few days, so he probably wouldn't be able to win. Wouldn't he be embarrassed to be beaten on the ground in public?

However, the situation is not much better after choosing the backyard.

I don’t know who shouted, ‘Rookie Rhodes’ first battle, challenge Loki! ’ As a result, almost everyone in the pub came to watch the fun.

"That's so deceitful Loki, I want to fight the newcomer too!"

Natsu recklessly pushed aside the crowd and pushed forward, even spraying small flames from his mouth.

"There's nothing I can do about it, it's all because my light is too dazzling." Loki raised his index and middle fingers to push up his glasses, his face exuding confidence.

"Ah~Loki~~" Two female fans screamed excitedly for Loki.

This person, who even leads a fan club during fights, really makes Rhodes envious... No, it's because he can't bear to see him ruining the guild's atmosphere.

The two stood opposite each other, about 4 meters apart. Rhodes looked at Loki seriously and had to admit that this man was a million times more handsome than him.

The audience stood in several rows in front of the door to watch closely, without worrying about being accidentally hurt.

"Then both sides are ready -" Makarov stood at the front of the crowd, "Bet on Loki and you'll get one for one, and bet on Rhodes and you'll get ten for one!"

Everyone enthusiastically placed their bets, and Rhodes almost fell down: "President, why did you..."

I thought the president was here to be the referee and make sure nothing happened to them, but it turned out that the market was opening?

"Ah, since Kana is not here, the bet is on me, don't worry about it!"

Sure enough, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!

"Okay, now that we're done, you two can get started!"

Rhodes glanced at the two trays in front of the president. Loki's tray was full, and his tray only had three bills.

"Come on, Rod."

One of them was a friendly gesture of support from Mila.

"Come on, newbie! Beat up that boy Loki!"

The other two are Macao and Wakaba. They want to see Loki get beaten, and the higher odds make the bet more exciting.

"Wait a minute!" Rhodes raised his hand, "President, 30,000 J! I bet I will lose!"

"No, match-fixing is prohibited." Makarov refused decisively. He waved his hand, "Now the battle begins!"

Rhodes missed the opportunity to make a fortune, so he had to hold his necklace and prepare to chant.

"Do you have the element? I happen to be the same." Loki showed his ring.

"...I don't have the magic system. I don't often practice magic in the guild these days. Isn't this the first time you've seen me?"

Loki smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm not in the habit of observing men."

“…”

This person really deserves to be beaten!

"I am the person who connects the two worlds, you..."

"Wait...wait a minute!" Loki trembled all over after hearing Rhodes' chant.

He immediately stretched out his hand to stop, "Are you a Celestial Spirit Mage?"

"No, but the president said it's a bit similar to Celestial Spirit Magic."

Rhodes showed his necklace, "Well, what I use is not the Star Spirit Key."

"That's right, ha, ha ha..." Loki smiled a little dryly. In his panic, he didn't even notice that Rhode's magic item was not a key.

"Do you want to continue?"

"No, no need." Loki ran out of the backyard gate in a panic with sweat on his forehead.

"Well, I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Let's compete next time. Goodbye!"

"ha?"

"Hey~~~" All those who bought Loki to win were collectively dumbfounded.

"What is that guy Loki doing?" People who lost money denounced.

"Loki~~" The two girls chased him out.

"Ah la ah la~ It's rare to participate and win money right away?" Mira stroked her cheek with a hand, feeling a little happy. Makarov has also made a lot of money now, but he is worried about Loki. Does it just have some similarities with the protoss magic to make him so sensitive?

Macao and Wakaba were so happy that they hooked up with each other and paid ten for each, winning several days of drinking money at once:

"Well done, newcomer! You defeated Loki in no time!"

Hubby complained: "Love! But he didn't fight at all."

"Ahahaha!" Natsu jumped out happily, "Just in time, I'll fight for Loki!"

"No, Natsu." Erza put her hand on Natsu's shoulder.

"Rhode has only learned magic for a few days. The battle is to test his strength. You are too rude, so let me do it."

Without Rhodes paying attention, his opponent changed, and he was also a ruthless one.

"Miss Erza, are you serious?" Affected by the performance of Natsu and Gray these past few days, Rhodes was somewhat timid.

"Of course." Erza said with seriousness written all over her face, "Even if it's just to thank you for your previous care, I will do my best."

"Please don't go all out!" At this critical moment, Rhodes didn't understand the wrong words.

Erza was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Don't worry, I understand, I won't be harsh to my companions."

"..." Gray and Natsu must have something to say.

Rhodes gave up his struggle. It was not a fight to hit anyone. He couldn't beat him anyway. Compared to the reckless Natsu, Erza might strike more lightly.

"President, let's open the market quickly. I'll bet on Erza to win!"

"Me too!"

"Hurry up, President!"

"I refuse." Makarov said that he would not do such a stupid thing.

If Natsu comes on the field, someone might bet on Rhodes, and Erza comes on the field... Forget it, if he bets all on Erza, will he, the banker, have to pay for it?

"Erza, be gentle!"

"Rhode, try your best to survive!"

"We will miss you!"

Rhodes: "..."

Just a discussion, isn't it? Rhodes was heartbroken by this group of people.

"Come on, Rod."

Rhodes felt warm in his heart. Fortunately, Mira's attitude did not change. She was as encouraging as before...

No, why is she holding a medicine kit in her hand?

"Then the second game, Rhodes vs. Erza, the battle begins!"

As the president's words fell, Rhodes didn't care so much anymore. He held the necklace and said:

"I am the one who connects the two worlds. You, the creature of Summoner's Canyon, answer my call and pass through the door! Canyon Swift Crab!"

The chanted spell has been slightly adjusted compared to the previous one, making it more compatible with Rhodes' magic and making the summoning process smoother.

Ripples appeared on the ground like water, and green canyon swift crabs emerged from them.

"Oh~~ Is this another summon of Rhodes? It looks very strong!"

"I thought he was going to let Worm deal with Erza!"

"Don't be ridiculous. If we want to fight, of course we will let the spectator Worm go back."

Erza was very virtuous in martial arts, and patiently let Rhodes finish the chant, then opened her hand: "Change your clothes!"

A magic sword appeared in her hand.

Rhodes pointed at Erza and gave the order to the river crab: "Attack!"

Click, click, the river crab opened and closed its pincers twice, and sprinted towards Erza, seeming to drag an afterimage behind him as he ran.

Rhodes had seen the power of this move, which could easily break the courtyard wall, but... to these destructive maniacs in the guild, it was just ordinary.

So it should be a good starting point.

Erza made a judgment in an instant: "Is it a speed type?"
