Chapter 132 The mastermind behind the scenes, the evil demon Mirajane
"It's Dabrin." Makarov said slowly.
"It's okay if you want to join the guild, but if you want to join Lebby's team, you have to ask her, Jet, and Troy."
Rhodes looked at the man talking to the president. He had a crew cut, unshaven beard, dull eyes, and even bare feet in late autumn.
I always feel like I can see the word 'decadent' in him.
He seemed to have met this man several times in the tavern, and he seemed to be quite familiar with Jet and the others.
Dabrin scratched the back of his head: "I already asked Lebby, but was rejected."
Makarov asked: "Why did she reject you?"
Dabrin said: "Because I am not a magician."
Rhodes: "..."
The team is going out to pick up the mission. Why are you joining in the fun if you're not a magician?
But thinking about the situation when he joined the guild, Rhodes suggested: "How about you try to learn magic?"
"May I?"
Makarov nodded. He would not refuse a child who wanted to learn magic: "What do you want to learn?"
"The same magic as Lebby!"
"Three-dimensional text magic, Rhodes, come and tell him about it."
"Me?" Rhodes was stunned. According to normal development, wouldn't he be called Lebiji?
Makarov nodded: "You can tell me."
"Okay." Rhodes sorted out his thoughts, "Three-dimensional text magic is a method of using magic to write text..."
"Sure enough, I'd better forget it, it feels very troublesome."
Before Rhodes could finish a sentence, Dabrin gave up at the speed of light, faster than Jet's confession and rejection.
"???" Rhode looked at Dabrin's leaving figure and couldn't figure out whether he really didn't want to learn anymore, or whether he had some objections to himself and wanted Lebby to teach him.
"Don't worry, that kid has such a character, he will give up immediately if there is any trouble."
Makarov sighed, "I feel like even if I join a guild, I will become like Nabu and never go out to work."
Rhodes thought for a while: "I always feel that these words sound familiar."
"Because the president has been worried about whether you would become the second Nabu for a while."
Rhodes turned his head: "Mira, are you awake?"
"Well, full of energy." Mira smiled and bent her arms to show her vitality.
She had probably just washed her face, and the hair around her ears was still a little wet, which looked a little naughty in line with her movements.
Makarov followed up her last sentence: "That's just a common worry. Isn't Rhodes very good now?"
Rhodes looked at him and said that he was the second one to pick up the cloth when he was not going out. He helped you earn praise and said that he was very good.
The president is also a big pig's hoof.
Makarov felt uncomfortable looking at him and jumped off the counter: "I'll leave the guild to you. I have something to go out on."
"President." Rhodes called him, "I have two things that I would like you to pass on to Granny Porlyusica when you have time. They are the thoughts of Wendy and I."
The last sentence is weird.
Anyway, it was a cloak that Rhodes chose, a sachet made by Wendy herself, and a pack of herb seeds that Rhodes suggested that Wendy ask everyone to help collect.
Makarov gathered his things and left.
Mira flipped through the account books and registers and praised: "Well done."
Rhodes smiled and said: "Of course. When I become an S-class mage, I will come to compete with you for your job. You have to worry about losing your job, Miss Mira."
"Is that so?" Mira thought for a while and said with a smile,
"Then it's better to fire you now, deduct your salary, and forfeit the remuneration from the last mission."
Rhodes said in a weird voice: "It's an abuse of power! Is there someone to take care of it?"
"Yes, I happen to be responsible for managing this kind of thing." Mira sat down, folding her hands and supporting her chin, "If you have any opinions, please feel free to ask, Mr. Rhodes."
Rhodes looked sad: "Alas, the demon Mirajane's clutches have spread to every corner of the guild, and all power is under her control.
Even Fairy Tail's strongest newcomer, future star Rhodes, had to temporarily succumb to her and silently seek opportunities to resist.
But look, the power of the oppressed people is unlimited, Mirajane's dark reign will not last long! "
It was all such a mess, Mira laughed: "It feels like you talk more when you go out, don't become Marcus."
Rhodes continued: "In order to prevent Rhodes from getting out of control, the evil Mirajane even interfered with his growth direction." Mira raised her hand to strike, but Rhodes smiled and stopped playing tricks.
…
After finishing the trivial matters, Rhodes went to the backyard during the break. It was almost time to get back to his usual training rhythm.
This mission made him deeply aware of his own shortcomings.
Cooperating with Gray and a little help from the internment troops, it took so much effort to destroy a dark guild.
And it also caused Gray to be injured a little, although it was something he had brought upon himself.
But compared to the coolness of Erza who casually singled out the entire Dark Guild in order to come back early for dessert, it was far behind.
I won't be short of living expenses for at least the next half month, so I need to practice hard.
The first is the improvement of physical fitness and magic power that must not be given up. This is the basis of all magic and cannot be neglected.
Then we need to speed up the exploration of Summoner's Rift and see if we can get the blue buff to make up for the shortcomings of magic power.
Also, you should practice new forms when receiving magic.
It’s time to get busy again.
After getting off work in the evening, Rod was ready to practice some more. Mira naturally changed into her sports clothes and went to the backyard.
Rhodes asked: "Are you still practicing at night recently?"
Mira tied her hair and said, "Of course, don't underestimate my perseverance."
I always feel that girls have a strange charm when they tie their hair.
Rhodes watched her arrange her hair and asked, "Where is Elfman?"
Mira complained: "I went out to work in the afternoon, saying that I can't lose to you as a man, but I just came back the day before yesterday."
"..." What the hell can't you lose to me? Anyone who can take on more than two tasks a month is already as good as me.
Rhodes said sarcastically: "He... shouldn't be so 'working hard'."
He wondered if Elfman was already preparing to stand in his way.
Mira rolled her eyes at him: "You are the one. You promised to take a good rest after completing the task, but why did you end up practicing hard for a while?"
Rhodes smiled and said: "This can be regarded as another kind of rest. Just staying in the guild is already a rest, mentally."
Rhodes found that as long as he returned to the guild, he would relax.
Of course, others will still be a little nervous when fighting in groups, but it is a different kind of nervousness, and they will not feel tired.
Mira thought for a moment and asked, "Would you like to team up with Elfman next time?"
"Okay, when?"
"When you've had enough rest."
"I……"
"No." Mira immediately changed her mind, "Let's wait until I think you've had enough rest."
Rhodes laughed: "Okay."
The two people were talking and doing warm-up activities, and then started their own exercise programs.
Although the content of the two people's exercises are different, and they stop talking after entering a serious state, they may not even be in each other's sight all the time.
But it's good to know that someone is with you.
Exercise, rest, wipe sweat, and apply medicine.
Then send her home.
Don't know why...
Without Elfman present, Rhodes' magic power was never enough to summon a river crab.
In fact, it’s not that I don’t know.
In the cool autumn night, Mira and Rhodes walked side by side on the deserted street. She hesitated and asked:
"Are you free tomorrow?"
