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

Chapter 29: Rod vs. Natsu
"Let's fight it out, Rhodes!"

Natsu was very direct. When he came, he went straight to the point without even saying a normal hello.

Rhodes said helplessly: "At least wait until the rain stops?"

Natsu asked back, "Hasn't it stopped already?"

"what?"

Rhodes looked out the door and saw sunlight shining through the gaps between the dark clouds, as if a few golden threads were falling from the sky.

Then the light became brighter and brighter, the dark clouds quickly dissipated, and the sky became a deep blue.

"..." Rod was shocked, "Are you Takasaka Honoka?"

"Who is that? Is he strong?"

"To some extent." Rhodes stopped evading the question and said, "Come on, then."

Natsu jumped into the backyard first and stepped on the mud. Suddenly, Rhodes didn't want to go anymore.

After thinking for a while, he decided to turn around and ask for help: "Laki?"

"Leave it to me." Laqi cast a spell: "Wooden Shape: Pure Love is Spotless!"

A circular wooden floor with a diameter of ten meters appeared in the backyard, like a fighting arena.

Several people around Laqi complained about the name she chose, but Laqi was very proud of it.

Natsu jumped up and stomped his feet, saying happily, "Oh! That's good. It's decided. If you fall out of range, you lose!"

"If I don't fall, I'll lose." Rod would rather fake a fall than roll in the mud.

Natsu had no objection. The crowd was already in place, and the president had opened the game - Rhodes didn't even know when the old man showed up.

"Well then, Natsu vs. Rod, let's begin!"

Rhodes held the pendant and said: "I am the one who connects the two worlds.

……

Canyon Scuttler! "

Natsu, like Erza, followed martial ethics and did not use sneak attacks, but Rhode felt uncomfortable and the chant had to be shortened as soon as possible.

When the Canyon Swift Crab appeared, Natsu could no longer hold back. He bumped his fists together, and flames appeared on his fists. He rushed out in one step, and his posture was like a fire dragon, waving his front claws and pouncing forward:
"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

The fist was not aimed at Rhodes, but at the river crab.

The burning flaming fist enlarged in Rhodes' field of vision, causing him to subconsciously raise his hands to cover his face, but he immediately realized that it was the river crab's field of vision.

In such a hurry, he didn't know what instructions to give, but the river crab had already started to act according to its instinct, raising one of its short claws.

Natsu's fist hit the green crab claws, and the burning flames rushed towards the crab's eyes.

The huge force caused the crab's six legs to pierce the wooden board beneath its feet and slide back more than two meters.

Wood chips mixed with the soil below flew around, and Rhodes was hit, with half of his body lying on the back of the river crab.

If there weren't some bumps on the crab shell to grab onto, he might have been knocked away.

"Ugh..." Rhodes felt like vomiting after being hit in the stomach. He felt that if he was hit directly by this punch, he might die.

Seeing Rhode's reaction, the president decided to give this child, who had no combat experience, a temporary lesson:
"Magic power is not only something that can be used to cast spells, it can also be used for defense. Even if you don't know defensive magic, it can still provide some protection, although the efficiency is a little low."

Rhode nodded and understood. He thought that it could be used as internal energy, but it was much less cost-effective than using defensive magic.

"Canyon Swift Crab, charge!"

However, his order came a little late, as the river crabs had already begun to flee instinctively after being attacked.

It even runs out of illusory light and shadow - which is probably a small acceleration skill that River Crab has in the game.

This act of selling out his teammates put Rhodes face to face with Natsu, only three meters apart.

After hearing Rhodes' order, the river crab turned back and accelerated to rush over again.

"So fast!" Natsu had been planning to rush forward and deliver a friendly face-breaking punch as he usually did in fights - the kind without fire in the fist.

But the speed of the river crab was unexpectedly fast, and the feeling of facing it head-on was indeed different from watching it from the sidelines yesterday. "This is fun!" Natsu laughed instead, opening his hands and directly grasping the tips of the two large crab claws.

laugh……

Natsu was pushed back by the river crab, and his leather sandals and wooden magic made an unpleasant sound.

However, after retreating less than a meter, Natsu had already stood firmly and grinned at the crab:
"Got you!"

Flames burst out of Natsu's body, and he slammed his head directly into the crab's face: "Fire Dragon's Sword Horn!"

"Zhizhi~~"

With a bang, the river crab was knocked over by the headbutt, and the flames spread to its whole body, making a squeaking scream.

After struggling for a few times, the river crab's body gradually became transparent and finally disappeared completely.

"Oops!" Natsu covered his head with his hands and rubbed his hair in annoyance, "I went too far!"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Natsu clasped his hands together and rushed to Rhodes to apologize frantically.

"I didn't mean to kill it! Sorry, sorry, sorry..."

Rhodes was not in a hurry: "It's okay, it's not dead."

"Really?" Natsu still maintained the posture of bowing, looking up at Rhodes.

"If he's really not dead, you can think of it as being forcibly repatriated. Just heal your wounds and you'll be fine."

Rhodes could now vaguely sense an area of ​​water. A river crab was hiding just beneath the surface, with a pair of tentacles sticking out above the water.

According to the game, it can be considered as waiting for a refresh.

However, the disappearance of the river crab this time made Rhodes feel that the existence of this river crab might be different from that of Poro.

"I see!" Natsu jumped back a long distance, "Let's do it again! If there are any other monsters, release them all! Ahahahaha!"

This person is so stubborn...he adjusts his mood too quickly.

It's quite consistent with the character of the male protagonist in hot-blooded comics.

Rhode understood a little more about Natsu's character, but he continued to summon...

He glanced at the Poro Worm on the sidelines.

Worm 'accidentally' hid behind the harpy.

Rhodes sighed. It turned out that he couldn't count on him.

He clenched his fist and faced Natsu: "Just do it!"

The reason he agreed to fight Natsu was to gain some combat experience. There would be no point in just giving in because he was afraid of getting beaten.

Natsu also raised his fist and gave Rhodes a hearty smile.

But when he recalled it later, Rhodes always felt that Natsu smiled like a devil.

MD was too harsh!
……

“Hiss… it hurts, it hurts…”

Mira carefully used tweezers to hold a cotton ball and applied medicine to Rod's swollen cheek.

Rhodes sat on the chair, gripping the back of the chair with both hands and grimacing in pain. He didn't even care about the problem of the close distance that he was a little concerned about at the beginning.

"Bear with it for a while, it will be fine soon." Mira changed the cotton ball and dipped it in the potion again, "Are the defense techniques the president taught you useless?"

"It does work, but I didn't learn it all at once, and...hiss...who knew he would slap me in the face right away!"

Mira smiled and said, "Natsu usually fights like this...Okay, turn around...By the way, do you still need to do this kind of training in the future?"

Rhodes turned around and pulled his collar down, revealing the bruise on the back of his shoulder.

Recalling the painful experience just now, he nodded with a sad face:

"The more this happens, the more I have to keep looking for people to fight. It's better to get beaten in the guild than to get beaten to death outside...hiss..."
