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

Chapter 4
Natsu didn't have the patience to wait for the president or Levy to come back, so when he heard that Lidas could help, he immediately dragged him over.

Through Lidas's drawings, Mirajane's gestures and gentle words, Rhodes finally understood what they wanted to ask.

But he had never seen a dragon. He had only seen a spotted bear that looked like a pig and was almost beaten to death... So, are there dragons in this world?

Rhodes thought about the magical power and thought that the existence of dragons was not surprising.

Natsu was very unwilling: "Mira, when will the old man come back?"

Mirajane replied, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Routine meetings don't usually take too long."

Natsu made a decision immediately: "Happy, we won't go to work these few days. Let's wait until the old man comes back!"

The blue kitten raised his hand and responded: "Love!"

Natsu strode over to the table and sat down, "Mira, I want the flame set!"

"Okay, I'll be right there." Mirajane reported to the kitchen what they were going to eat.

"Natsu means no harm, he's just a little impatient."

Mirajane knew why Natsu was looking for the dragon, but it was a long story and it was hard to explain to Rod in the current situation, so she just tried her best to tell him that Natsu meant no harm.

Rhode nodded. Although he didn't know the specifics, it was normal for a protagonist in a hot-blooded comic to be impatient and impulsive.

At this time, the blue cat stood on the table and raised his hand: "Mira, we want a grilled fish!"

Rhodes' eyes widened. The cat spoke!
Mirajane smiled and said, "Harpy is not an ordinary cat."

Rhodes nodded. It was not unacceptable that cats in the magical world could talk.

However, the next plate of food that Lucky brought out from the kitchen surprised Rhodes again.

There were two plates and a cup on the tray. Although the contents looked like food, they were clearly still burning with flames!

This, this, this...is this thing really food?

Mirajane tried to introduce it to Rhodes: "That's flaming pasta, flaming fried chicken, and flaming drink. They are cooked in a special way."

Seeing Natsu grabbing the flames with his bare hands and stuffing them into his mouth, Rhodes nodded hesitantly.

It's normal for the food in the magical world to be a little special.

Mirajane thought that Rhodes might have misunderstood something. In fact, Natsu was the only one in the entire guild who ate like this.

In the following time, Rhodes met all kinds of strange people and also saw some interesting magic.

He even witnessed a fight, started by Elfman and Natsu, which ended up involving a quarter of the tavern.

Seeing Elfman fighting with someone, Mirajane just watched with a smile and did nothing except asking Rod to step back.

Rhode couldn't help but doubt his own judgment. Could it be that Miss Mirajane was not that gentle, but just couldn't let go when facing a stranger like him?

I had previously thought that the guild the protagonist belonged to should be a lively guild, but now it seems that it is too lively.

……

Time passed in this atmosphere that was both peaceful and uneasy.

It wasn't until the next day, which was the afternoon of the third day after Rhodes came here, that the change occurred.

The president is back.

And with a handsome blond guy.

Many girls gathered around and exclaimed, "It's Hyakuya's Hibiki!"

"It's Hibiki who ranks first on the list of 'magicians I want to be my boyfriend the most'!"

"so hot!"

Hibiki put his index and middle fingers together and greeted the girls with a gentle smile, which caused another round of screams.

A handsome man wearing glasses and a green jacket in the tavern showed a panicked expression, and then took advantage of the chaos to quietly slip out of the guild.

Mirajane held the tray with a smile on her face, "Welcome back, President. You've worked hard along the way."

Everyone in the tavern greeted Makarov, and Natsu rushed over:

"Old man! You're finally back. I have something to ask you!"

Makarov raised a palm to stop Natsu: "I roughly know what you want to ask, but it's hard to explain it now. Wait a moment."

"..." Natsu wanted to say something, but seeing the president's serious expression, he just looked at him angrily.

Makarov asked Mirajane, "Is the kid okay?"

"His name is Rod, and he has recovered well from his injuries, but communication is a little difficult." Mirajane said, "I'm already teaching him the common language, but it will take some time." "Really? Thank you for your hard work." Makarov nodded, "I have a quicker way here. Let's take him to the infirmary first."

Mirajane glanced at Hibiki who was surrounded by the girls and nodded, "Okay."

Rhodes followed Mirajane back to the infirmary in confusion. Was the medicine going to be changed?

His injuries recovered very quickly in the past two days. Now there was only a bandage wrapped around his forehead. Rhodes estimated that the medicine he used must not be an ordinary medicine.

While he was wondering, Makarov had already brought Shibiki into the infirmary.

After Hibiki came in, he didn't hesitate for a second and immediately came to Mirajane and saluted like a gentleman:
"You must be Miss Mirajane, you are even more dazzling than in the magazine! Nice to meet you, I am Hibiki from Blue Pegasus, please allow me to buy you a drink."

Mirajane held her cheek with one hand: "Now is not the time to say something like that, right?"

"Oh, that's right, I'm sorry." Hibiki knelt on one knee in a very exaggerated manner and stretched out a hand. "Then are you free tonight?"

Although Rhode didn't quite understand what he was saying, he felt that this person was quite unique even in Fairy Tail...

No, there seems to be someone in the guild who looks very similar to him. Who is he?

Now was not the time to think about these things. Rhodes stood up, bowed slightly to Makarov, and spoke in a somewhat stiff common language: "Thank you for saving me!"

Makarov smiled. "Isn't this a good lesson? But it wasn't me who saved you."

Rhodes showed a puzzled expression.

Makarov's right hand suddenly stretched out and grew larger, grabbing Shibiki's entire body and pulling him over:

"I specially invited you here, not for you to harass the girls in our guild."

Rod looked at Makarov's hand in shock. Old Luffy? Old Choji?

After being released, Hibiki straightened his clothes and hairstyle, looking very handsome:

"I already understand the content of the commission. You need to help him master the basic common language as quickly as possible, right?"

"That's right." Makarov nodded, "On the premise that his body cannot be damaged."

Hibiki nodded. "Of course, I can do that with my magic. However, receiving so much information at once may give you a headache for a short period of time. Is that okay?"

Mirajane took great pains to convey Hibiki's intentions to Rod and seek his opinion.

Using magic to quickly learn a language, at the cost of a headache in the process?

Rhode nodded decisively. Is there any need to choose between using magic to cause headaches for a few minutes and learning to cause headaches for several months? A short pain is worse than a long one!

Makarov nodded: "Then, let's get started."

Hibiki raised his hands, and a golden magic circle appeared under his hands, and in the middle of the magic circle - was a keyboard.

As Hibiki tapped his fingers, several screens composed of magical lights appeared in the air. Boxes and lines of text quickly passed by, and finally only a screen was left.

Rhode was dazzled. Wasn't this really magic? It looked like a scene from a science fiction movie.

Mirajane suddenly realized: "Is this ancient book magic? I see, no wonder the president invited you here."

Hibiki smiled and said, "One last confirmation, is it enough to just use the basic common language?

In fact, I have 100 tips on chatting up girls and 80 ways to make girls happy. Do you want to teach them to him?"

Makarov waved his hand: "Please don't teach that weird stuff."

"What a pity." Hibiki pointed his finger at Rhodes' forehead, and golden light enveloped him.

Rhodes had no idea how much fortune he had just missed. He just felt his head swelling and a lot of information flooded in.

Pronunciation, writing, word formation, sentence structure...

"Ah ah ah ah ah……!!!"

The headache was more severe than Rhodes had imagined. The pain was like being pinched by a door, and he couldn't help but cover his head and scream.

"Rod..." Makarov and Mirajane couldn't bear to watch, but fortunately the process ended quickly.

The golden light dissipated, and the keyboard and screen in front of Hibiki also disappeared: "Done."

Rod fell on the bed, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.

He still kept his hands covering his head, gasping for breath: "Finally... it's over."

Mirajane praised: "That's a very good sentence."

"Huh?" Rhodes said in surprise, "I can understand what you are saying!"
