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

Chapter 82 The Strongest Newcomer is Busy

"President." Mira handed over a towel.

Makarov waved his hand: "No need, it's already been cleaned."

Rhodes tugged at his clothes: "Are you polite?"

Makarov was very happy that he didn't have to write a second apology: "Hahaha, don't mind such a small matter."

Mira reminded: “But President, there are words on your face.”

"Yes." Rhode hadn't noticed it just now, but now he saw it and read it with difficulty, "Discuss?"

The characters are reversed and difficult to recognize.

"Ah, I accidentally fell asleep while writing my self-criticism!" Makarov was not embarrassed at all, and naturally took the towel to wipe his face.

"By the way, Rhodes, why don't you come out with me? The antidote Polyusica is already prepared."

"Okay!" Rhodes was very happy. With the antidote, he could summon the Magic Frog with peace of mind, and the safety factor was increased again.

Of course, I had to go home and change my clothes before going.

On the way back, Rod bought a copy of "Sosala".

He wasn't a big enough name, so he didn't even have a single sample issue, unlike Mira, who always had samples sent to her home.

The 15th anniversary special issue did not have a supplement, it was just a little thicker than usual. The cover did not feature a photo of the wizard, but a carefully designed congratulatory picture.

Rod flipped through it and found that people like Mira and Jenny who participated in the performance had separate pages.

And 'Fairy Tail's Strongest Newcomer' only occupies a column in the far back corner.

Moreover, there were only photos of him and the river crab, no individual photos.

"From this angle, the river crab is indeed very impressive. Mr. Rapper Tell is a talented photographer."

There wasn't much distortion or modification in the interview content, only a few sentences were added expressing the hope that Rhodes would be more active in the future.

Because it was just afternoon, Goodman hadn't closed his stall yet: "Isn't this Rod? Haven't seen him for a few days?"

"Brother Goodman, there was a mission a few days ago that took a little time."

"Oh~ Have you finally become a full-fledged wizard who can stand on your own? Great!"

Goodman had always heard from Rhodes that he was an apprentice wizard.

"Haha, half of it."

Because he might need to practice hard for a while next.

The house is still the same as before, except that it has a strange smell because it hasn't been ventilated for a few days. I don't know if it's a psychological effect.

Rhodes opened the window, watered a few potted plants, came back and punched the sandbag twice before changing his clothes.

I feel like the house needs some cleaning. I'll be busy tonight.

……

Walking down the street with Makarov, he was quite eye-catching. He was one of the Ten Holy Wizards, the ten most outstanding wizards in the entire continent, and had a very loud reputation.

When talking to someone he is not familiar with, he would always use a respectful term such as "Your Excellency".

Of course, to the residents of Magnolia, Makarov is far more friendly than majestic.

After all, he was just as rowdy as Natsu and the others when he was young.

Thanks to the president, the residents are quite friendly to him. In fact, if you ride on the river crab, it may be that the president is benefiting from him.

After leaving the town, Rhode hesitated for a long time and finally asked, "President, is there any magic in the world that can resurrect people?"

Makarov turned his head and stared at him. "Why are you asking such a thing?"

"I heard about Lisanna a few days ago. Mira and Elfman were both hit hard by this incident. I thought if there was a magic that could revive Lisanna..."

It may not be appropriate to use this term to describe the situation, but this is indeed a way to fundamentally eliminate the pain in Mira and Elfman's hearts. "Don't pursue that kind of thing!" Makarov's tone was a little stern, "The weight of life is incomparable, and desecrating life is a taboo!

Not only from a legal point of view, but also the study of magic to resurrect the dead is a taboo in itself. It will lead you into an abyss from which there is no return. "

Rhodes rarely saw the president's serious expression, so he nodded to indicate that he had remembered it.

But Makarov was still worried. Although Rod was steady, he had just entered the path of magic and might not understand the seriousness of the problem [Note ①].

And a steady person might be even more terrifying when he goes crazy.

Makarov said: "I have heard such a rumor. Someone lost a loved one and kept researching the magic of resurrection, and ended up touching the taboo of life.

Then that man was cursed by the god Anxelram, and everyone he loved would die.

"God?" Rhodes asked, "Does God exist?"

"Of course, Anxelram, the god who controls life and death, and Chronos, the god who controls time, are both recorded in the world." The president said.
"But no one knows what kind of existence they are, and as long as no one touches the taboo, they will not take the initiative to bring down miracles."

Rhodes frowned. It was fine to have dragons and demons, but there were even gods. This world seemed a little complicated.

But according to the general routine, God should be some kind of powerful creature, right?
There's no point thinking about this, since you can't afford to offend him anyway.

Listening to the president's words, Rhodes felt that his knowledge of magic was not enough and he had to continue reading.

Seeing that Rhode had listened, Makarov breathed a sigh of relief and brought the topic back to the topic:

"As for Lisanna...it was her own choice. She stood in front of her sister and took the blow.

She protected Mira and also awakened the mad Elfman. Between life and family, she chose to protect her family.

I am saddened by the loss of my child, but I am also proud of Lisanna, who was a child that I was so proud of.

If possible, I am willing to exchange with her, but I will never study forbidden magic, because it will not only bring danger to myself, but also bring disaster to the guild. "

You just said that the weight of life is incomparable, and now you say you are willing to exchange your life for someone else's?
Rhodes asked himself, who is he willing to risk his life for now?

No, before considering fighting with all your strength, what you should consider at this stage is becoming stronger. There is no point in fighting if your strength cannot keep up.

"President, I want to learn reception magic."

"?"

This kid was just talking about resurrection magic, and now he's talking about receiving magic. How did he get to this point?

"Why do you suddenly want to learn this?"

"Because during this mission..."

Rhodes explained the reason, and Makarov said:
"Are you worried about your own safety when you summon wild monsters to fight? There's no need to worry."

"why?"

"Because the fastest way to solve this problem has already been tried," Makarov said.
“Everyone has things they are good at and things they are not good at. Isn’t it better to just hand over the things you are not good at to your peers?
Teaming up with your companions is the quickest way, faster than learning any magic."

"That's true, but even companions can't stick together 24 hours a day," Rhodes said, "We must master some self-defense magic."

"..." Makarov felt the difference between Rod's thinking and his own.

Why should we consider this? Even if we know the magic of self-defense, can anyone stay alert 24 hours a day?

This kid Rod...

"Forget it. If you want to learn, you can give it a try, but..."

Makarov thought about Rhodes' personality and asked, "You should also understand the risks of receiving magic, right?"

Rhode nodded: "A little bit at a time. I will look up more information before I start practicing. I will never rush into anything."

Makarov nodded with satisfaction. He was very relieved about this. This was a good boy that even the summoned Poros wanted him to watch by their side to avoid risks.

But soon he began to wonder whether this personality trait was good or bad.
① The Path of Magic: In Fairy Tail, the Path of Magic refers to the "path of magic", not the "demon possession" in our martial arts and fairy tales.
