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

Chapter 8 Open the door to another world!
"Good morning, Miss Mirajane, Miss Lucky."

When Rhode arrived at the guild, Mirajane and Lachi were already wiping the tables.

Although I wiped it last night, I still need to wipe it again before starting business.

"Good morning, Rod."

Mirajane's smile was still as bright as before, "Also, forget about the honorific. Just call me Mira like everyone else."

"Me too, just call me Laqi."

"Mira, Laqi?" Rhodes tried to call out, and said politely, "Then I am overstepping my authority."

Mira corrected him: "This context is not yet at the level where we need to use the word 'transgression'."

Laqi held her face in her hands, her long purple hair half covering her hands, revealing a narcissistic expression:
"Maybe Rhode wants to say that he treats us like princesses or queens?"

Rod denied: "Sorry, there is no such thing."

After helping a little, Rod sat at the counter and ate breakfast, a very ordinary combination of milk and sandwiches.

The price is much cheaper than the curry rice I had yesterday, but the taste is great.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it’s the same food, but it seems to taste better the day I just woke up - maybe because I was too hungry at that time.

Rhodes half leaned against the counter enjoying his breakfast while watching the people entering the guild one after another.

The clothing styles in this world are very diverse, including Chinese cheongsams and mandarin jackets, Japanese kimonos and yukatas, as well as European dresses and tuxedos.

Modern, simple casual wear, such as sports shirts, like what Rod is wearing now, is not uncommon.

In addition to these, there are some quite peculiar costumes. For example, there is a pretty girl wearing horns on her head, a tiger-print chest-length slit long skirt, tiger-print sleeves on her arms, tiger-print boots on her feet, and the soles of her shoes are even in the shape of tiger claws.

The whole person looks like a little tiger with horns, full of wild beauty.

"That's Miji, Miji Chikintag." Mira introduced, "She's nicknamed the Demon Princess."

"what?"

"Rod has been staring at her since the beginning. Could it be that..." Mira showed a gossipy expression and gave Rod advice with great interest.

"Miji loves fighting. If you care, go and have a fight with her. If you can win, she will definitely look at you differently."

"No, no..." This sentence had a lot of loopholes. Rhode sorted out his thoughts.

"I just think her outfit is a little unusual. Also... aren't we all wizards? Why do we like fighting?"

Mira asked curiously, "Shouldn't a wizard be good at fighting?"

"Demon..." Rhodes was silent. Could it be that my perception was strange?
If I think about it carefully, during the few days I've been in the guild, I've often seen people fighting with each other, punching each other flesh to flesh.

Yesterday I saw the president punch two guys who overturned a table into the floor...

The wizards in this world wouldn't follow the melee route of the magic warriors, right?
The tavern is usually not too busy in the morning, and after Makarov arrived, Rhodes began his first magic lesson.

"Generally speaking, to use magic, you need something called magic power."

"Magic power is a special kind of 'qi' that exists both in our bodies and in nature."

"When the 'chi' in our bodies harmonizes with the fluctuations of the 'chi' in nature, magic will manifest."

"To do this, you need a considerable amount of mental strength and concentration..."

Since Rod knew nothing about magic, Makarov had to start from the very basics.

As for more profound theories, about emotions, about the soul, about the power of the 'heart', we will have to wait until Rhodes's magic practice reaches a certain level, or until he comprehends it on his own. "Is there magic power in my body?" Rhodes has always been worried about this. He is not even from this world.

Fortunately, Makarov gave him a reassurance: "Of course there is, but it is not easy to detect now."

"It is not easy for ordinary people to discover and strengthen the 'qi' in their bodies. The method usually adopted is meditation."

"But as for you, you can first feel the magic power in another way."

Rhodes asked: "How to do it?"

"First, focus your attention on the pendant and try to call upon it in your heart. Then, try the spell I adapted from the magic of the stars."

Makarov taught Rod the spell word by word, and Rod repeated it like a parrot.

"Just remember it and try it."

"Here?" Rhodes looked at his companions in the tavern worriedly, "Will we get into trouble?"

Makarov said: "Don't worry, with your current magic power, you can't summon a creature that is too strong. Even if you can, you can't maintain it."

"..." Rhodes didn't like this answer at all.

But since the president said it’s okay, let’s do it.

He pinched the necklace pendant and stared at the gold and blue icon, and after a few seconds he seemed to really feel a connection between himself and it.

Rhodes quickly chanted the spell: "I am the one who connects the two worlds. You, the creature from another world, respond to my call and go through the door!"

The pendant glowed with golden and blue light. Magical energy gathered in the air. Rhodes tightly grasped the pendant and shouted out the last words:

"Open the door to another world!"

hum~~~
A heavy and majestic sound effect sounded, and a vortex emitting blue light appeared in front of Rhodes, with twinkling stars in the vortex.

Through this vortex, you can seem to feel the cold air from another world and hear the sound of the cold wind whistling over the cliff.

In such a cold and solemn atmosphere, a figure leaped out from the vortex.

The lights and sounds of magic attracted the attention of most people in the tavern.

This must be a powerful and cruel creature!
Everyone thought so, and Rhodes thought so too.

However, when the vortex disappeared, there was only a palm-sized, furry white object on the ground.

"Woo, woo, woo?" The little guy made a strange sound and seemed a little confused.

But soon its eyes were fixed on Rhodes, and then it stuck out its big pink tongue, ran towards Rhodes with its short legs, and hugged his calves.

Rhodes was a little confused. He looked at the little fur ball and felt that it looked familiar. He bent down, picked it up and observed it carefully.

Black eyes, round body, white and soft hair like a sheep, a pair of small curved horns on the head, and a long tongue sticking out like a puppy.

Rod put it on the counter and touched its head. The little guy turned over comfortably, revealing his heart-shaped pink belly.

"Puro?" Rhodes recognized this cute little guy based on his experience in the Howling Abyss.

"Wooolululu~" There was joy in the little Poro's voice, as if he had found a meal ticket.

Rhodes: "..."

The thing summoned by this magic seems to be different from what I expected!
