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

Chapter 43 Wo Lian’s distress signal

The news that Erza was working as a waitress at the dessert shop spread like wildfire in the guild.

This breaking news directly led to a significant decrease in the tavern's patronage.

Most of the boys who often hang out in the guild choose to join in the fun, wanting to see what Erza is like as a waiter.

Most girls... too.

The people who spread this news... exclude Rod first.

"Did you do it again?"

"I only told Marcus."

"...Wouldn't that be equivalent to telling the whole guild?"

"I didn't expect that everyone is looking forward to Erza's service." Mira smiled, "Don't you want Rhodes to experience it?"

"Spare me," Rhodes said, "She almost strangled me with a bandage when she was pretending to be a nurse, and she was pretending to be a waiter...

Will you smash a guest's head with a tray? Or trample the guests underfoot or something? "

Mira waved her hand: "No matter what, it won't be so exaggerated."

"I hope everyone is okay." Rhodes prayed for his companions for a second, and then went to practice by himself while there were few people and few things to do.

There are several dummies and wooden stakes placed in the corner of the guild's backyard, and they also set up a shelf and hung up sandbags for boxing and kicking exercises.

All the parts involving wood are kindly provided by Lucky’s Wood Shape Magic.

The reward was a simple diagram of a 'blood drop' drawn by Rhodes.

This thing should be regarded as a weapon or hidden weapon in martial arts novels, but because the hideous shape really resembles a torture instrument, Lucky likes it.

I heard from her that she had already asked someone to modify the design drawings in detail and was ready to start manufacturing.

Most of the time, Rhodes uses the training equipment, but occasionally other companions will be infected by Rhodes' diligence and go to practice when they have time.

Especially the defeated Jeter, Troy and others.

Originally, Rhodes asked Lucky to make two wooden mannequins, but Natsu saw that Rhodes was making fun of them and insisted on giving them a try.

Then only the wooden dummy remains.

It doesn't matter if it's broken, but you can just fight back.

The sound of "dong dong" sounded from the backyard, and Rhodes became more and more comfortable with the combination of magic power and fists.

…

"Answer my call, Crimson Sharpbill!"

The crimson magic circle flashed past, and six strange birds, one large, five small and six small, appeared in the guild's backyard.

"Cha~" The largest bird raised its head and made a hoarse cry.

The crimson sharpbill and sharpbill are commonly known as six birds, F6, etc.

It is not a powerful wild monster in the game, but when reflected in reality, its sharp beak has good penetrating ability.

In addition, they also have a long-range attack method - shooting feathers like flying knives.

Small ones can only be shot one by one, while big ones can be shot in piles.

Moreover, it wouldn't take long for the feathers to grow out after they were shot. Rhodes understood it as a skill CD and gave this move the name "Feathers in the Sky".

The shortcomings are that they cannot fly high. The wings of sharpbills are a bit smaller, and their flying ability is probably better than that of pheasants.

The good news is that the big one can carry Rhodes for gliding or flying at low altitude, and thanks to their thick legs, their running ability is pretty good.

"Successful!" Rhodes clenched his fists, feeling joyful in his heart.

Not because six birds were obtained, but because the chant was successfully shortened.

He reduced the long chant to only half a sentence plus a name, which was enough to deal with emergencies. I believe that after some time, Rhodes will be able to reach the level he pursues where he can successfully activate just by shouting a name.

He felt the magic power consumption of summoning six birds. It was about three river crabs, which was not bad.

Rhodes directed the sharp-beaked birds to make some simple movements, and then summoned the three wolves, trying to get them to cooperate with each other and rush in and out.

Afterwards, they summoned stone beetles to try to form a formation that was both offensive and defensive.

After practicing for a while to allow the magic power to be consumed to a level that would not affect normal actions, Rhodes returned to the tavern.

The incident of watching Erza a week ago had passed without any casualties. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

However, the news that the Dark Guild Scorpion Tail was wiped out appeared in the Wizards Weekly.

The council was very conscientious and openly admitted that it was Erza's work alone and had no intention of taking the credit.

Although he was slightly dissatisfied with Erza's unauthorized actions, he also praised her abilities.

"As expected of Erza." This was the comment of most of his companions.

"That guy is getting more and more terrifying." This was Gray's feeling. He even took the initiative to check whether he was wearing any clothes.

"The Scorpion's Tail...isn't it a regular guild?" Nabu's question silenced the area.

It seems like it's true that Erza took action against the regular guild? No, no, it’s impossible since the Senate is involved in this matter.

Marcus was very happy to explain to everyone: "Scorpion Tail was only recently classified as a dark guild.

Because in order to make money, they secretly helped some big businessmen suppress their competitors by kidnapping and coercing them. This was only exposed some time ago. "

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts immediately became anxious again.

"Help!"

Everyone in the guild, including Rhodes, heard this voice.

"It's so scary! Someone come and save me!"

The same voice sounded again.

Rhodes suddenly realized that the voice did not come from outside, but sounded directly from his mind.

Before he could ask questions, Mira said seriously: "Wo Lian, this is Wo Lian's 'talking' magic. You can directly send what you want to say to others through the air."

Rhodes was not familiar with Wo Lian. He only remembered that the man had strange side bangs and liked to be alone.

Others have also ‘heard’ it: “It’s Wo Lian’s voice!”

"He's asking for help! Is he in danger?"

"But didn't he go on a date with his girlfriend today?" This was the information Marcus learned when he talked to Wo Lian yesterday.

"Where are you? Wo Lian!" Gray suddenly stood up, yelled and tried to talk to Wo Lian.

Others either shouted or asked inwardly about Wo Lian's location, but no one received a response.

Wo Lian just repeated words like 'terrible', 'terrible' and 'help'.

Loki pushed open the guild door from the outside with a bang, ran in and asked:

"Does anyone know what happened? Now everyone on the street has heard Wo Lian's cry for help! It's going to cause panic!"

"It's an indiscriminate request for help!" Erza couldn't sit still. "Now that the president is not here, I will take command for the time being! Everyone is ready to fight!"

Erza quickly assigned tasks, and some people set off immediately to maintain order and protect the residents; some people were responsible for searching for Wo Lian's location and preparing for rescue.

Generally speaking, when a magician goes out, he should be responsible for all actions and risks caused by his actions.

If others help without authorization, they may be regarded as looking down on the other person and hurt the other person's self-esteem.

However, if he himself asks for help because of a crisis, then as a companion, he will do whatever it takes to rescue him.

At least that's what Fairy Tail does.
