Fairy Tail: I don't want to be the president

Chapter 200 Come on

"That's how it is, so I hope you and Rhodes can go together on this mission."

"No problem, President. We won't bring shame to the guild."

Erza's answer was expected because it involved the guild's reputation.

In fact, Rod felt that the main thing would determine whether the president could speak to Goodman in a condescending manner during the next meeting.

As a person who was willing to share the worries of the president and bring honor to the guild, Rhodes naturally did not refuse.

In fact, there is another insignificant reason. When he drew the lots, he saw the task reward, 200 million J. If two people formed a team, each person would get 100 million J.

If you team up with an S-class wizard to solve a task that is not S-class, you can get a reward of Magnolia Residence Fragment +1. It is worth going.

The two discussed and decided to set off tomorrow morning. Erza would go and urge the modification of her armor. If it could be completed, it would be modified. If not, she would take it back in advance.

Rhodes is going to look up some information.

The location of this mission is at the border between the Kingdom of Fiore, the Kingdom of Bosco and the Kingdom of Seven.

He felt that the situation would be a little complicated and he would have to understand it in advance.

After staying in the library and flipping through books for more than an hour, Mira came over and called him to have lunch.

Rhodes pinched his brows. Now that he had enough money, he had to find time to buy a pair of glasses for Feng Yong. He couldn't keep borrowing from Lei Bi.

Mira asked, "Is that mission a headache?"

"It's okay. I don't think the danger level is that high. It's more of a test of intelligence capabilities."

"But before the mission was assigned to us, wasn't there someone injured while investigating this matter?"

"Yeah, it's a three-man team from the Poison Fang Guild, but I'm fine."

Venom Fang sounds like the name of a dark guild, but it is actually a formal guild.

As for strength...it's hard to describe. If he was strong enough, he wouldn't have given up a mission with such a high reward.

The three members of their team were only injured but not killed, so there wouldn't be any problem if they teamed up with Erza.

A small hand waved between their eyes, and Laqi said, "The food is losing temperature. Do you have to race against time to chat now?"

"Your dessert is gone." Rhode picked up the bowl and looked at Lacy. "This is a high-end dessert from the president of the wizard guild 'The God of Cooking's Knife' who is good at cooking."

Laqi was not afraid at all: "Hehe, I'll ask Sister Mira for it later."

Mira looked at her with a smile: "Well, well, it may not happen."

"Sister Mila~"

……

After lunch, Rhode went to read again. When Erza came back, he invited her to practice in the backyard, stipulating that Erza was only allowed to defend.

The main purpose is to get more familiar with the opponent's fighting habits. After all, the possibility of cooperating in battle is not ruled out later.

Rhodes found that he hadn't fought with anyone for a while, and it felt quite nice to fight like this.

Maybe it's because Erza didn't fight back.

The remaining time is of course used to continue searching for the required information.

When Rhodes placed a pile of books on the table in the library, Mira came to him: "This is for you."

A very exquisite little box.

"Why are you giving me a gift all of a sudden?" Rhodes was a little surprised. "Is this... Feng Yong's glasses?"

"I saw it on my way out to order some wine, so I bought it. I thought it was exactly what you needed."

When you go out to order wine, you can stop by the magic shop on the way... It seems that Luo also stopped by this shop when he was in the royal capital.

"Why didn't you ask me to go out to buy things?" This question was naturally suppressed by Rhode. "Thank you!" Rhode's mood should be described as overjoyed.

At times like this, you should hug him.

It’s a pity that Mira left with satisfaction when she saw how happy he was: “Come on, I’m going to work too.”

I got the magic item Feng Yong's glasses, which increased my reading speed exponentially. The glasses were given to me by Mira, and my mood improved greatly.

Rhodes' work efficiency improved significantly in the afternoon.

At night, Rod continued to practice with Mira Elfman, but in order to preserve his condition, he did not do extreme training.

And Mira also advised him to go back and rest early: "Here's the key."

"No, I have a spare."

“……”If you have a spare key, should you leave it with me?

"Anyway, I'm about to be kicked out of work by the president, and I don't know how many days I'll be gone." Rhodes said shamelessly, "I'll have to rely on you for the family."

"Well, you have to be careful this time." Mira felt that even if she refused, he would still come up with other bad ideas, so it would be better to let him concentrate on the mission.

"Manly!" Elfman bumped his fists together, "Let's have another manly fight!"

……

When Rod returned home, he was still rubbing his arm, feeling that Elfman had made rapid progress recently.

As someone who had evil intentions towards his sister, Rhodes felt pressured.

He took out the key, opened the door, and turned on the light. Rhodes almost didn't recognize that this was his home.

The bed was made flat, the fitness equipment was arranged in the corner according to categories, the magazines and stationery on the desk were also neatly put away, but the book upside down on the table was not moved.

The three pots of green plants were brought indoors and they still look thriving.

On the wall, there was a framed photo of him and his guild mates, and the frames of several paintings given by Lidas, all of which had been carefully wiped and were spotless.

Although his house is not dirty normally, it is still a little messy and he has never put things away so carefully.

It's easy to guess who did these things.

Rhodes stood at the door and watched for a long time, silently encouraging himself: "Come on."

The next morning, Rhodes went to the guild to meet up with Erza and said goodbye to Mira.

Suddenly I felt more and more reluctant to go out.

After leaving the guild, I became more and more looking forward to the day when I could return.

……

Erza was dragging a luggage cart as usual, and her changing space had long been filled with clothes, armor, and weapons, so that many armors that were not often used had to be placed in the dormitory.

On the contrary, Rhodes, a beginner, only carried a bag to carry the books and materials he would read on the road.

This time we are not in a hurry to rent a carriage. Instead, we have to take the train, pass through the Kroba Canyon and go to the terminal, and then find a way to get to the mission location.

The situation near the border may not be as peaceful as that within the country, and not all drivers dare to go there. We may then have to rely on the hardworking river crabs.

"With so much luggage on board, I only need to buy an extra ticket. This train station is really generous."

Erza said, "Isn't that natural?"

"I just wonder if someone could take advantage of this to engage in purchasing on behalf of others or smuggling, wouldn't the profits be huge?"

"No, we are wizards, so it's no problem for us to bring some ordinary luggage." Erza said, "But if it's merchandise, the station naturally has rules for merchants, and they won't let people take advantage of this loophole."

"..." Rhodes felt that the rules here were very humane and ideal.
