Fairy Tail: You said you were just acting, are you serious

Ron raised an eyebrow, picked up the mission assignment on the table, and examined it carefully.

After reading it, Ron was even more confused.

This is just a C-level mission, why are you asking me for help?

Laxus remained aloof, but cold sweat began to bead on his forehead. He felt uneasy seeing Ron staring at him without saying a word.

Laxus finally couldn't stand the atmosphere any longer, so he turned to face Ron and spoke first.

"That old man said that there are Beast Kings appearing near this mission location, and that I must find someone to team up with."

Laxus, fearing that Ron wouldn't go, then continued to persuade him.

"Just come with me. Once we get there, I'll take care of everything. You just need to come along."

"Leave the Warcraft to me, and you can have 20% of the reward, how about it?"

Ron then realized, "Oh, so that's how it is."

"No, you should go find someone else."

Ron didn't hesitate for a second before rejecting Laxus's request.

Are you kidding? There's a Beast King nearby, it's dangerous, do you still want me to go on a long trip with you?

I've only recently finished preparing all the important things for the theater troupe, and I also need to draw several cute mascots to attract audiences and build up popularity.

Don't bother me while I'm drawing my Pokémon. I'm very busy, so don't disturb me.

Laxus was stunned; he hadn't expected Ron to reject him so directly.

Now he was really anxious and quickly said:

"So what do you want me to do to get you to team up with me?"

Seeing that Laxus still wouldn't give up, Ron simply opened his arms and made a five-pointed sign.

"We should at least keep 50% of it, otherwise it's not worth the trip."

Laxus's eyes widened, and several veins bulged on his forehead.

"If you ask for 50% without doing anything, wouldn't I be losing out?"

Ron shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.

"Forget it, I won't keep you company."

Ron then decided to get up and find another place to continue drawing.

"etc!"

Laxus stared at Ron's indifferent gaze and clenched his fist.

He really doesn't have any other peers to team up with now, and he really doesn't want to find an adult to go with him.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Okay, fifty percent!"

But remember, once you get there, stay in the safe zone and don't leave!

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Ron smiled and nodded in agreement.

Since someone is giving him money for free, he'll go with them.

Just then, Makarov walked in from the hall entrance with a sigh and a furrowed brow.

Laxus saw that Makarov had returned and quickly went to him.

Makarov assumed Laxus was there to continue persuading him, so he straightened up.

"I already told you, you need to find someone to team up with..."

"I've found the person. Are you satisfied now?"

Laxus interrupted Makarov and handed him the mission assignment.

Makarov was taken aback, not expecting that Laxus would find a partner so soon after arriving at the guild.

But his joy was short-lived. When he saw Ron coming over with his sketches, he gasped in shock.

"Could it be?"

Makarov's eyes widened in disbelief; he never expected Laxus to have chosen Ron as a teammate.

Ron smiled and nodded, giving a confirmation.

"That's right, he asked me to team up with him."

Makarov then hesitated.

Logically speaking, Makarov shouldn't have let the two children go as a team, but he had already said it was fine, and now he couldn't go back on his word.

Laxus was still angry. If he was rejected again, he might just run off to do a mission on his own.

Moreover, Makarov became somewhat excited when he saw that he was teaming up with Ron.

Ron is such a shrewd guy, he actually agreed to my grandson's request. Isn't he afraid of danger?

Seeing that Makarov didn't immediately reach out to accept the mission request, Laxus quickly said:

"Approve it quickly, and remember to keep your word."

Ron then pulled Laxus closer to Makarov and said:

"President, don't worry, we will be careful."

Seeing Laxus's insistence and Ron's calm expression, Makarov nodded in agreement.

"Then you guys go ahead, be careful."

Laxus finally breathed a sigh of relief when Makarov agreed.

Seeing this, Ron patted Laxus on the shoulder.

"Speaking of which, you have to tell me how to get there?"

Laxus thought for a moment, and then said.

"Let me prepare that. Let's meet here in the guild hall tomorrow morning."

"No problem, I need to go back and prepare before I set off."

Seeing that they wouldn't be leaving immediately, Ron agreed with Laxus.

After the brief discussion, Laxus left the hall without looking back.

Seeing this, Ron also said to Makarov:

"In that case, I'll head back today, Chairman."

Ron pointed to Laxus's departing figure and quietly approached Makarov to whisper something.

"President, don't worry, I've partnered with him, we'll both come back safely."

After saying that, he grabbed the sketches and ran off, leaving Makarov with a complicated expression.

Ron strolled leisurely down the street and returned to his house.

Ron was so happy not only because Laxus was giving him money for free, but also because he realized that the B-rank character card he had previously acquired could finally be put to use.

In the past two months, he has naturally played many roles, but he has been unlucky and has drawn either D-level or C-level character cards or minor roles that cannot improve his current role level.

He couldn't even draw a character he wanted to have a clone of; it was too hard for him.

Furthermore, due to his abilities, he cannot use the B-rank character card he drew earlier in this town.

He wanted to develop his skills discreetly; if he attracted the Magic Council's attention due to insufficient strength, he wouldn't be able to safely reopen the Pure White Opera Troupe.

Laxus's mission location requires a long trip, so he naturally needs to use this B-grade card quickly, otherwise he won't have another chance.

As he put the Pokémon artwork into the cabinet on his desk, he activated the Multiverse Item Storage.

Thanks to Ron's efforts over the past two months, the Multiverse Item Vault has accumulated a considerable number of Multiverse Items and Skill Cards.

Not only that, it also contains many character cards that Ron has never used or had the opportunity to use, so that he can take them out and use them at any time.

Finally, he found the B-grade character card he needed.

Naruto - Deidara

Looking at the names on the B-rank character cards, Ron couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation.

"I refuse to believe that my art can't defeat these C-rank monsters."
