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

Chapter 9 Poro

"Poro? Is that its name? What a cute pronunciation!" Mira seemed to like the furry little Poro very much.

Rhodes also thinks Poro is cute, but...what's the use of just being cute? What he wants is a super-powerful hero!

Rhodes held Poro in front of his face and looked into his **** eyes. Can this guy be beaten?

Poro's big tongue licked him, and Rhodes subconsciously leaned back, successfully dodging a face wash service.

Makarov asked: "Do you know this creature? Does it have any special abilities?"

"His name is Poro. He lives in a very cold place. His ability..." Rhodes thought about it carefully.

"You can eat, you can grow up if you eat, you can explode if you eat too much, and besides that, you can be... cute?"

Mira praised: "What an interesting ability! It looks like a great contract creature."

Rhodes said listlessly: "Ah, thank you for the encouragement."

"I see, is it an ornamental creature? Don't be discouraged. There are also ornamental protoss among the stars, such as Nikolai in the constellation Canis Minor."

Makarov said, "It's great to have such a lovely creature by your side, isn't it?"

Poro seemed to sense Rhodes' disappointment. The pair of small horns standing on his head slowly lowered, and the tongue that was sticking out also retracted, looking pitifully like an abandoned puppy.

Rhodes scratched its chin: "Just treat it like a pet."

"Hululu~" Poro rubbed Rhode's palm, making a comfortable sound, and a pair of small horns stood up again.

Rhodes pinched the Poro's horns, touched the top of the Poro's head, and rubbed the Poro's heart-shaped belly, gradually falling in love with the soft and fluffy feel.

Poro seemed to be enjoying it too, lying on the counter with his tongue tilted to one side.

"The appearance looks like a lamb, but the personality is more like a puppy." Mira picked up a sliced ​​apple, "Want to eat it?"

Poro turned over and left Rod's massage service, and went straight to Mira's feeding. His flexibility was beyond imagination.

Does this guy have a setting that recognizes food but not people? Rhodes fell into thought.

Makarov coughed lightly to attract Rhodes' attention and said to him:

"Regardless of the strength of the Poro, when you just opened the door, did you feel a force draining from your body? That is magic power."

Rhodes thought for a while: "If you put it this way, it seems that there is..."

"Generally speaking, after the star spirit wizard opens the door, maintaining the existence of the star spirit also needs to consume magic power, and you must be the same."

Makarov said, "Now meditate as I tell you, feel the slowly draining magic, find its source, and then see your own power."

"yes!"

Rhodes sat down on the spot, closed his eyes according to the president's instructions, and concentrated on feeling the power slowly draining from his body.

The noise in the tavern gradually disappeared, the sounds of Poro and Mira playing around gradually faded away, and the world became quiet.

Rhodes saw himself sitting cross-legged in the darkness, with tiny blue light spots like mist.

Outside of 'own' body, there is a winding thin line composed of faint blue light spots, floating to the side of the body. That should be the connection with the Poro.

The focus of Rhode's observation was that within his own body, among the mist-like blue magical light spots, there was a conspicuous small vortex, slowly rotating in the center of the body, like a miniature Milky Way.

It seems that all the magic power in the body is escaping from there, and at the same time, there are also sparse light spots seeping in from the outside and converging towards the vortex.

The magic power is being consumed and restored at the same time.

Rhodes easily felt this.

He could even feel the speed at which magic power was consumed to maintain Poro's existence, compared with the speed at which magic power was restored.

To express it in a common way in online games:

MP-1

MP+99

The excess consumed will probably be used to replenish the magic power consumed when opening the door.

After realizing that Poro's magic power consumption was so low, Rhodes completely gave up hope on its combat effectiveness.

Putting the Poro matter aside, Rhodes concentrated on observing himself and trying to direct the light spots in his body.

Although it is a bit awkward, he can indeed simply control the flow direction of those light points, which is the magic power.

In the real world, as Rhodes' magic power was mobilized, his hair swayed gently, left and right, as if blown by the wind.

The tavern today was much quieter than usual because the president was watching.

When someone wants to fight and may affect Rhodes, the president will slap him on the head. When Rhodes opened his eyes, Makarov showed a satisfied smile. This kid has great talent.

"That's it for today's magic training. It's time for you to care about Poro."

Makarov reminded, "Protoss mages generally have to sign a contract with the protoss and maintain a good relationship. As for you, you have to figure it out on your own."

"Okay, thank you, President." Rhode stood up and looked at Mira, only to find that the Poro was no longer with her.

"There." Mira smiled and pointed to the little guy having fun in the tavern.

Rhodes followed her finger and realized...his social skills were not as good as those of a dog.

He had just meditated for less than an hour, and Poro had already become familiar with many people in the tavern.

It stuck out its tongue, constantly shuttled between tables, and rubbed its furry body against other people's calves from time to time.

When it is picked up by someone who likes cute things, it will act coquettishly and stare at the food on the table with its big eyes.

He just barely had the words 'please feed' written on his face.

The most amazing thing is that after cheating the food, the little guy will immediately run away and go straight to the next target, highlighting the ruthlessness.

In a very short period of time, everyone in the tavern remembered this cute creature, but only a few remembered its owner's name after being introduced by Mira and Lucky.

Rhodes waved.

Poro ran over with his short legs, but accidentally fell and rolled to Rhodes' feet like a ball of wool.

This guy simply didn't get up. He just lay down and turned over to expose his belly, becoming more and more proficient in his business.

Rhodes couldn't help but rub its heart-shaped belly again, and then he carried Poro to the counter: "Can you understand me?"

"Uluru~" Poro tried his best to nod.

Rhodes asked: "Do we need to sign a contract or something?"

Poro shook his head so hard that he almost fell over.

"Then if you go back, will you be the one I summon next time? I remember there are many Poros in the Howling Abyss, right?"

The little Poro nodded, then shook his head, with a pleading look on his face.

Rhodes guessed: "It will be you, but you don't want to go back?"

Poro looked happy.

Rhodes looked at the president in embarrassment.

Makarov said: "If the magic allows it and neither party objects, you can stay as long as you want."

"But if it affects you from opening the next door, send it back then."

Rhodes nodded: "Since you like it here, then stay here for now."

The little Poro spun around in circles with joy.

Mira suggested: "Would you like to give it a name?"

Rhodes said: "It's called Poro."

"But Poro is a general term, right? Just like dogs and cats, I mean it has its own name."

Poro looked at Rhodes expectantly.

"Hmm... I have trouble naming..." Rhodes looked at Poro and thought for a while, "Call me Xiaobai? Dumpling? Furball?"

The poro's horns gradually drooped, and it always felt very perfunctory.

Rhodes was in trouble: "President, Mira, do you have any suggestions?"

"How about calling me Worm?"
