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

Chapter 16 Scout, Canyon Scuttler

Just after asking that question, Rhodes saw himself.

It's not like seeing with your own eyes, nor is it like looking in a mirror, but rather it's from an angle looking up from the bottom.

My hand was resting on 'my' head, and my arm blocked a little bit of my vision, but because the distance between my eyes was large enough, I could still see my face.

Is this... the perspective of the Swift Crab?
It was strange to have two images suddenly appear in his mind. When Rhodes withdrew his hand, he could immediately see the action of retracting his hand from two angles.

When the Swift Crab stands up, the perspective will also change subtly.

Rhodes commanded the swift crab to turn around, and he stood back to back with it, instantly gaining a full 300-degree field of vision.

Makarov nodded after listening to Rhode's description: "So it's a reconnaissance type summoned beast. It should have a wide range of uses."

Then, the swift crab demonstrated its mobility again.

After letting Rhodes sit on its back, the Swift Crab crashed through the guild wall and ran to the lake, performing a unique skill of floating on water. It waved its six legs and moved on the lake as if it were walking on flat ground.

Rhodes held the two rein-like tentacles of the swift crab tightly with both hands, feeling the strong wind blowing over him and the occasional splash of water on his body.

He had no idea how fast it was going, but it was definitely more exciting than the speedboat ride he had had on East Lake—maybe because he wasn't wearing a life jacket.

"It's faster than ordinary horses and ponies, and it can move on water, which is also good. Its destructive power is average, but..."

Makarov gave a rational evaluation. Looking at the damaged wall, he shouted at Rhodes' back,
"... Even so, please don't destroy the guild casually!!!"

……

"I'm sorry, this is my first time riding a river crab too, so I don't understand its behavior. I didn't mean to..."

Rod rejected Lei.

We had originally agreed to study together in the library, but now we can only painstakingly build walls under the supervision of the president.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how, the president will teach you on the spot. He knows a little bit of carpentry and masonry - the main thing is that the president has destroyed the guild just as many times as anyone else, so an old illness makes a good doctor.

"It's okay, I just accidentally damaged a little bit of the wall."

Leibi was very tolerant of this, perhaps because she was used to similar unexpected events.

"It just so happens that I have found a suitable book on common sense. I will take this opportunity to find some suitable content and read it to you."

"That's great, thank you, Lebi!"

Rod was very happy. In the past, when he did things like cleaning, he liked to use his mobile phone to play songs or crosstalk for noise, but now he was bored.

This girl is really considerate, no wonder Jet and Troy like her so much.

"First, this country is called the Kingdom of Fiore. It has a population of about 1700 million and is located on a peninsula west of the continent. It was recognized as a neutral country about years ago..."

The sound of Leibi reading and explaining sounded somewhat pleasant.

Rhodes continued to build the wall. When he heard that Fiore's population was 1700 million, he felt that the country might not be very big.

Being a neutral country is a good thing. We don’t have to worry too much about war, probably.

"The city of Magnolia where we are is in the eastern part of the Kingdom of Fiore, not far from the border with the neighboring country of Bosco, and the population is about 6..."

Rhodes had heard Mira say once that magic had been prevalent in Magnolia since ancient times and it was considered a prosperous city in the Kingdom of Fiore.

"Then here comes the key point." Rebbe emphasized.
"Magic was once something that people feared, so wizards were often persecuted in the past. In addition, wizards often fought among themselves, causing instability in the world."

"In order to change all this, 150 years ago, the world's first wizard guild, 'Magic Dragon', was established.

The wizards began to unite, using magic to protect themselves and their companions, and also tried to communicate with ordinary people, and even solved their problems and earned rewards. "

"Since then, wizard guilds have appeared one after another, and magic has gradually become a part of people's lives. This has slowly evolved into a situation where wizards and ordinary people live in harmony."

"And 97 years ago, in X686, our guild 'Fairy Tail' was established."

"'Do fairies have tails? In the final analysis, do fairies really exist? All of this is unknown, which means eternal mysteries and eternal adventures.' - This is the meaning that the first president Mavis gave to Fairy Tail."

When she said the following paragraph, Leibi's eyes sparkled, and it was obvious that she really liked this guild.

This was the first time Rhodes heard of the meaning of the name Fairy Tail, and he felt it was a little romantic.

It was so romantic that he barely remembered a few words of the history of Fiore that Levi told him.

But it was not without gain. At least Rhode understood that this was a country with a bit of feudal monarchy.

Here are the king, ministers, knights, and armies.

Naturally, there were also people in the royal family and those who served the king who studied magic.

Magicians are respected in many places, but they are still citizens of this country and are subject to the jurisdiction of the royal family. They do not enjoy the same privileges as nobles with titles.

At the same time, in order to maintain the stability of the magic world, there is an organization called the Magic Council that is responsible for monitoring the behavior of wizards, sanctioning dark guilds, etc.

But when Leibi mentioned the Council, her expression became strange. It seemed that she didn't like this organization and was even a little afraid of it.

This confused Rhode. What are you afraid of from an organization that sanctions dark guilds? Isn't Fairy Tail a regular guild?

broken.

Rhode realized that he had forgotten to ask this question - Fairy Tail... is it a formal guild?
……

It is a pleasure to be with Rebby.

Whether the little girl was explaining history and geography, or the basics of magic, she was always very organized.

Even for Rhodes, who had almost no basic knowledge, it didn't find it difficult to understand.

Moreover, she often cited many relevant stories during the explanation, which made Rod marvel that Leibi's knowledge was even broader than his in his senior year of high school.

By the time Rod had almost finished repairing the damaged wall, Leibi said she was tired and looked at him eagerly.

"...Oh, yes, Chinese." Rhodes understood her look and said, "Shall I go wash my face first?"

In fact, he just wanted to take a shower and change his clothes. He was very uncomfortable after being busy for a long time and getting covered in mud.

"If you want to wash your face, I'll help you! Three-dimensional text WATER!" Levi waved her arms and wrote the word for 'water' in the air with her fingers.

The words that were written with magical light turned into letters made up of clear water after she finished writing.

And with Leibi's control, it floated in front of Rhodes: "Use this."

Rhode looked at the word "water" in front of him and tentatively reached his hand in...

You can actually wash your hands just like you would in a basin, and you can even scoop up a handful of water and splash it on your face to wash it at the same time.

"What a convenient magic. It's just... what is it? Yes, it makes the magic happen as soon as you say it."

"Hehe... It's not that exaggerated." Leibi felt a little embarrassed after being praised. After Rhodes washed his face, he controlled the water words to fly into the lake like ordinary water flow.

"And I don't use it very well. I can only provide a little assistance when my companions are fighting."

"I think this kind of magic will come in handy."

Rhodes felt that the three-dimensional text was very similar to the plot in some novels where people picked up a pen to write and used it in battle. It should have great potential.

"Then let me teach you the pronunciation of Chinese characters first."

Rod took the light pen that Leibi had just used and wrote the initials and finals of Chinese pinyin in the air.

After thinking for a while, he marked them with the basic syllables of this world's language, and then taught her to read them one by one.

Leibi read and took notes with great interest until Laqi came to call Rod to go to work.
