Chapter 179 Newcomer Tono
Rhodes’ answer made Mira very happy.
She put the letter away and said she wanted to think about it.
As for the magazines placed on the counter, she remembered that Rhodes liked reading the news.
After the New Year, the guild resumed normal operations and Rhodes returned to normal training.
......
On the third day after that, a boy with glasses who looked young came to the guild.
He has a small round face, a crew cut, and carries a big schoolbag. He looks very well-behaved.
After he came in, he looked around and walked through the noisy pub to the front desk
Mira greeted: "Hello, do you have any commissions to publish?"
"No, my name is Tono, Tono Rabitz. I just turned 15 this year. I use light magic."
Tono introduced himself in a very organized manner, and then said, " I want to join the guild.”
“That’s it, hello, I’m Mira Jane,” Mira said, “Please wait a moment, I’ll go find the president.”
"Please take a seat." Rhodes was responsible for receiving the newcomers after Mira left. "My name is Rhodes. I joined the guild half a year ago. I can be considered a newcomer for the time being. Please don't be restrained."
"I I know you, the strongest newcomer, right?" Tuono said happily, "I have been paying attention to the news about Fairy Tail."
"Really, haha, that news was written by a reporter. Maybe you will be the strongest newcomer now. Well, do you want something to drink?”
Rhode thinks that this kid who has been paying attention to the news about Fairy Tail and still likes it must be true love.
Tonno sat on the stool and said honestly: "Just plain water, thank you."
Rhode poured a glass of water for Tono, and the president and Mira came over. .
Tonno's joining process was as simple as Rhodes'. The president simply asked a few basic questions and stamped him with the guild's coat of arms.
This was the first time for Rhodes to witness a new member join the guild, and it felt... a bit strange.
“Having witnessed new people joining, am I considered a senior mage?”
Makarov glanced at him and said nothing.
A senior magician?
It’s just that the amount of tasks has changed from the second to last to the third to last.
Mila is a good flatterer: "So, Rhodes wants to try to guide the newcomers?"
This seems interesting, Rhodes asked: "Can I do it?"
< br>Just in case, Makarov asked: "What are you going to teach him?"
Rhodes looked at Mira and smiled: "Just like when Mira took me. , help him familiarize himself with the process from receiving the task to meeting the client, and then completing the task."
Tono was a little happy. It turned out that joining the guild would be guided by a senior magician, and he was also the strongest newcomer. It felt like it. Looks very reliable.
Rhodes thought for a moment and then added: "I can also impart some more personal experience, such as..."
"Okay, I have decided, I will leave Tono to Rebby to guide me. "Makarov said decisively, "You just said you like history, right?"
"That's true, but Senior Rhodes..."
Makarov said: "No need. Never mind him, he doesn’t get along well with you.”
Rhode felt offended.
Mila covered her mouth and smiled. The president was afraid that the newcomer brought out by Rhodes would run around with the exploding magic crystal on his back, right?
She patted Rhodes on the back to express comfort, and then said to Tono: "Come with me, I will take you to find Lebby."
Makarov said : "Don't look at me like this. There may be a task for you in a few days."
"Give it to me? What task should you leave to me specifically?" Rhodes thought for a moment, it couldn't be from the Senate again. What's going on?
Those people are a bit of a scam.
"The details are still uncertain. We have to wait for further information." Makarov said, "In short, try not to travel far in the past two days."
"Okay." Rhodes felt a little unsure. Makarov knew his temper and comforted him: "Don't worry, if you really want to go, I will help you find a reliable person to form a team."
Rhodes was even more worried. The president is already helping him find teammates in advance. Doesn’t that mean this task is particularly troublesome?
Makarov shook his head and left with his hands behind his back. He still had a review to write.
That idiot Natsu went out to catch a few thieves and demolished seven houses. The summons from the Council of Ministers had already arrived before he came back.
Headache.
When Mira came back, she saw a sad-looking Rhodes.
"What's wrong? Did the president say anything?"
"No, it's just that there may be a big trouble thrown at me."
Mira smiled and said: "Because the president trusts you very much."
"Trust me, but he won't let me bring new people."
"Well, well..." Mi La didn't know what to say. In fact, she thought it would be good to hand over the newcomer to Rhodes.
“Hey, let’s not mention it.” Rhodes asked, “Didn’t Lebby go out to work? Why did the president ask Tono to follow her?”
“Lebby is today. "I just came back, so you didn't see it because you were in the backyard," Mira said,
"Actually, they encountered an accident during the mission. Now Jet is hospitalized and Troy is taking care of him."
"So serious?" Rhodes frowned, "What happened?"
Mila said with some sympathy:
"It seems that Jet wanted to show off, and then accidentally He found a trap used by hunters to capture beasts. As a result, Lebby and Troy had to protect him while completing their work."
"..." It's hard for Rhodes to evaluate this. This is what the saying goes. When he showed his face, he exposed his buttocks.
"Shall I go to the hospital to see him?"
"It's best not to go. Rebby said that Jet doesn't want everyone to see his embarrassing appearance."
Mila said with a smile, " If you must go, remember to take Lidas with you."
"..." You have revealed your devilish nature, Miss Mira.
"By the way, how have you considered that matter?"
"I will go to Sosara's branch the day after tomorrow. The president hopes that I can restore the positive image of Fairy Tail a little bit. ."
Mira laughed. She knew that what happened to Natsu made the president a little anxious, so she decided to do something.
Rhodes originally planned to accompany Mira.
But he could not wait until the day after tomorrow, and was called over by the serious-looking president early the next morning.
Besides the president, besides Mira who looked worried, there was also... Erza.
Rhodes suddenly felt something bad. Want to team up with Erza? Is it such a big deal?
Makarov said seriously: "This mission is a bit dangerous. If you think it is difficult after listening to what I have to say, you can choose to refuse."
Rhodes glanced at Erza , guessed: "S-level mission?"
Makarov shook his head: "It is not enough to be directly rated as S-level, but if it is not rated as S-level, it will be very difficult for others. And it may be life-threatening."
Elusha said: "It must be a very important task for you to be so solemn about, please tell me."
Rhode nodded, knowing the danger. It must be the kind of thing that cannot be dealt with if we still need to find them, right?
Makarov said slowly: "A black magic sect that believes in the black mage Zeref appeared near the north coast of the kingdom, called the 'Shadow of the Evil Ghost'.
They kidnapped children from nearby villages and towns, intending to use them as sacrifices to summon the demon Canibo from the Book of Zeref. This mission is to arrest the Black Magic Order and rescue the innocent children.
Because the enemy may possess dangerous black magic such as bone crushing, blood transformation, and death curse, and once their action of summoning demons is successful, the danger of the mission may rise to S level or above, so Erza needs to go.
Because I have to fight and protect the children, I am worried that Erza will not have enough energy on her own, so... Rhodes is the most suitable candidate. ”
Useless little details: Tono's shoes, Macao's vest, and Macao's son Romeo's vest all have an S logo on them, so they should be the same brand of clothing.
