Chapter 157 S-level exam list announced
After the two finished their coffee, they went to buy the pile of things Mira mentioned.
It was just ordinary shopping and shopping, nothing special happened, and I didn't meet anyone special.
Rhodes felt that this was good.
Mira turned to look at him: "Why are you smiling so happily?"
"I thought it would be very comfortable to have a heater in the winter."
Mira didn't believe it: "Liar."
"Hmm." Rhodes smiled, "Then guess what?"
Mira thought for a while: "I don't want to guess."
Rhodes felt that she had finished guessing and continued to laugh.
Mira wanted to kick him.
Macao looked at the two people pushing the door open with a bunch of things in their arms, chatting and laughing, and felt a bit like a newlywed couple going out to buy daily necessities for their new home.
I think that when he was in love with his girlfriend, who is now his ex-wife, he seemed to have gone through such a stage.
It's a pity that they parted ways in the end.
Wakaba, who was sitting opposite him, puffed out a puff of smoke and said, "Why do you suddenly show that expression? It's disgusting."
"Who are you calling disgusting, you bastard!" Macao slapped the table and stood up, then sat down again as if he was discouraged.
Wakaba had just rolled up his sleeves and was about to fight, but he almost dodged his waist: "Hey, what do you want?"
Macao said melancholy: "I feel a little lonely after being divorced for a long time, and suddenly I want to find a girlfriend."
Wakaba advised: "Romeo is already 5 years old, don't mess around."
Macao looked at him strangely: "What does it have to do with how old Romeo is that I want to find a girlfriend? It's not just for Romeo... Oh? Are you jealous that it's more convenient for me to be single?"
"Who could be jealous of you, a drunkard who stinks of alcohol?"
"What did you say? Old smoker!"
Bang bang bang bang!
After finishing packing their things, Rhodes and Mira leaned against the counter to watch the fight: "Even if most people are not around, this guild can still make noise."
…
Peaceful days always fly by, and it’s the end of November in the blink of an eye.
Since that day, Rhodes seemed busier than usual.
In addition to completing the work in the tavern every day, I also have to take on some small tasks during my break.
Including but not limited to finding lost items, delivering goods, catching vicious dogs, dealing with rat infestations, etc.
Everyone thinks that it is not easy to show their ability in such small things, so they have been backlogged recently.
Rhodes usually dislikes their low pay, so instead of accepting tasks, he would rather practice in the guild.
It's just that he was short of money, so he had to do part-time jobs.
But there are benefits to doing this.
Since these missions often require running around the streets, he is now more familiar with the terrain of Magnolia. If there is a need for street fighting in the future, he will definitely not suffer a disadvantage.
And because of his efforts, many residents in the city now know that Fairy Tail has a reliable magician who will not tear down the granary when exterminating the rats.
Most importantly, because of his efficient handling of the backlog of tasks, Mira's favorability increased by one.
"The economic crisis is over!" Rhodes handed over the last task in the plan and threw himself on the counter. His face was deformed by the tabletop, looking like he was relieved.
"Thank you for your hard work." Mira put away the task list and poured him a glass of water.
Rhodes cheered: "It's not hard work. I'll be paid in a few days. I'm looking forward to it as the days go by."
Lucky reminded: "But the rent has to be paid soon."
"Such cruel words can wait until I am happy for a while before saying anything." Rod saw Lucky's evil smile and said unhappily, "Besides, my rent has been reduced to only 60,000 J, which is half cheaper than yours."
Now it was Lucky's turn to be angry: "Damn it! Why can you meet such a good landlord?"
"Oh ho? Lucky said that the landlord was not good. I made a note of it and will tell Chico later."
(Qi Ke is the daughter of the landlord of the girls’ dormitory.)
"I didn't say that! And it's shameful to tell the truth!" Lucky said angrily, "Sister Mira, don't just laugh, come and condemn him!"
Mira said with a smile: "I also think Rhodes is exaggerating. He only pays 40,000 J less than Lucky, not half at all."
"That's not the point!" Lucky suddenly remembered that these two people were in the same group.
At night, noisy, chatting and laughing, Rhodes still trained with his sister and brother.
"Has Elfman become stronger recently?" Rhodes rubbed his forearm.
He felt that Elfman's fists were getting heavier and heavier, both normally and after using the receiving magic.
Even if it is blocked, it still hurts.
But he couldn't tell whether this was a personal grudge or whether Elfman's magic power had become stronger. Elfman flexed his muscles: "That's because...manly!"
Asking him was a useless question, Rhodes looked at Mira.
"In terms of magic power, it has become stronger." Mira thought for a while and said, "Rhode, you have become stronger, right?"
"I should be just a little stronger."
Just a little bit.
…
On December 8, X783, fine snow fell over Magnolia.
On this day, Rod and Elfman went to the tailor shop to pick up two coats.
When Rod and Mira put on coats of the same color and matching styles, Elfman finally realized Rod's 'conspiracy'.
"You guys, did you plan this?"
"What are you talking about? I'm just a poor man who doesn't have money to buy winter clothes, so I can only go hunting by myself and find a tailor to help me."
"..." Who are you kidding? That tailor shop is so expensive, and the craftsmanship fee is no cheaper than buying an ordinary winter coat.
"Don't be like this Elfman, sister likes the clothes you gave me very much." Mira smiled, "How about I give you one in a few days?"
"No need, sister, I already have enough clothes." It always felt like my sister would go shopping with Rhodes just to help him buy clothes.
Elfman wants to go to the snow-capped mountains to fight with Labang again.
Mira just tried it on and felt it fit, so she took it off and put it away. The guild had a new heater and it was still very warm.
Rhodes also took it off and discussed with her whether to have a guild emblem printed on the back. One on the chest would also be a good idea.
There are more and more people in the guild. The members who were always in a hurry a while ago gathered together today. The number of people was almost the same as that at the Harvest Festival.
There were only a few people who were as laid-back as Rodmila and Elfman, and most of them were stamping their feet nervously.
Because today is the day when the candidates for the S-level exam are announced.
Snap!
There was a sound like a hand-held fireworks tube, a large flag with the guild logo was unfurled from the attic on the second floor, and colorful ribbons fluttered down.
Everyone's eyes turned to the direction of the flag, and the president Makarov stood up.
Behind him were Erza with a serious face, Mistgun with a mask on his face, and Laxus with a somewhat flirtatious expression.
There was a small commotion in the crowd, and it was rare to see three S-class magicians standing together with the president.
When the crowd calmed down, Makarov said loudly: "According to Fairy Tail's ancient rules, I will announce the participants of the S-class Mage upgrade exam next."
"There are 4 participants this year, the first one... Cana Alberona!"
"Okay!" Kana was a little happy, but a little disappointed not to see Gildarts.
"Second, Meister Glade!"
"It's Meister. He was indeed chosen."
"The third one, Honey Chikintag!"
The members of the Youth Million Dead Team were happy for their captain: "That's great, Captain Miji!"
"The fourth one, William Rakow!"
Wo Lian was a little surprised: "I was chosen!?"
(The list was not compiled casually, the explanation was given by the writer who put it at the end)
Except for Kana, who is certain about this year’s list, the rest can only be guessed based on a few words. The reasoning is as follows:
In the manga, after announcing the candidates for the S-class exam, Lucy said: I didn’t expect that both Nazgret and Elfman were taking the challenge for the first time.
So nothing happened to them this time.
Arzak said: He was not selected this time either.
It means he won’t be able to play this year either.
Jett and Troy said: Great, Lebby was finally chosen.
So it’s the first time for Lebby that she has nothing to do this year.
When Meester entered the list, someone said: It was a pity for Meester last year.
According to this, he should have participated this year. At the same time, it is also possible that everyone's memory has been manipulated.
Personally, I think he may have really participated, but he confused himself and everyone else by playing Mission: Impossible. The president must have not forgotten him, so he brought him one this year.
Gray said: The threshold is so high this year
It is speculated that the threshold in 783 may be slightly lower, and the setting says that Wo Lian is a person who can handle difficult tasks alone; in the civil war chapter, Miji is a person who can fight four people with her fighting skills, and the setting also says that her team It is the backbone of the guild;
So it makes sense for Wo Lian and Mi Ji to participate.
Regarding Freed, the president said something like this during the Civil War: Is Freed’s magic so powerful?
It is speculated that he does not know Fried well enough, so there is a high probability that he will not be qualified this time. The other two thunder gods are also relatively withdrawn, so the situation is the same.
Macao and Wakaba are definitely qualified, but they are too lazy to participate.
Everyone else is almost confused.
