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

Chapter 120 Who dares to pretend to be the Council?

"Roar! Roar! Roar! Haha!"

Many people gathered in a circle and used a special method to generate regular and rhythmic roars through the resonance of their chests.

At the same time, the body is squatting and shaking up and down.

This is probably the custom of the Nilubit people. The celebrations and sacrifices are in similar forms, but the process and tone are slightly different.

It is said that the combined roars can scare away wild beasts - this is probably a ritual passed down from ancient people's hunting activities.

This sound seems to come from ancient times, representing the original wildness of mankind's struggle with nature, and can bring special shock to modern people.

Performing this special ceremony itself represents respect and welcome.

Although Gray and Rhodes didn't know much about the Nilubit people, they could feel their enthusiasm.

After everyone yelled for a while, someone soon gave up his seat and let someone else take over. Two people also came over to invite Gray and Rhodes in.

Unable to refuse the kind invitation, Gray and Rhodes stood in the crowd somewhat uncomfortably, following the rhythm of others and shouting.

After shouting until his throat was dry, he finally found some skills and successfully blended into the voices of the Nirubit people.

The roaring and shaking sounds rang out, as if they could penetrate the mountains and fields in all directions and drive away the wild beasts in the mountains.

After participating in the entire event, Rod and Gray both felt very refreshed and enjoyed it.

If there was anything regrettable, it was that Wendy sat in the corner with her legs crossed and sulked the entire time.

Even if Robinlu called her, she would just puff out her cheeks and look away.

Xia Lulu firmly stood on Wendy's side and refused to speak for her at all.

After the banquet, Rod went to talk to Wendy and asked her why she was angry.

But Wendy has learned to avoid the question at such a young age:
"Nothing, Mr. Rhodes, are you going to start the mission? Xia Lulu and I are always available to help."

"Yes, thank you." It was nothing, but it was difficult to ask. Rhode followed her words and took out the map.
"We need to meet the client here before 5pm. Do you know this place?"

"It's so far. To get here, you have to go around the back of the village, and then..."

Wendy was very familiar with the roads near the village. If we followed her advice, we could avoid climbing one less mountain and avoid some forests where wild beasts roamed.

"Thank you, that's a big help."

Although river crabs have already explored some suitable paths, their efficiency has also been greatly improved.

Wendy added: "Xia Lulu and I can take you there."

"Thank you, but if I bring someone other than the plan to meet the client without permission, it might make the other party unhappy."

Rhodes said, "Besides, Wendy has something else to do here, right?"

"Things to do?"

"Yes, it's normal to be angry. You can use it to vent your emotions and express your dissatisfaction, but it can't be used to solve problems."

Rhode touched Wendy's head and looked at her puffed lips. "When Wendy is not so angry, then go and tell the person who made you angry your opinion."

"Humph!" Xia Lulu glared at him. "You are such a know-nothing, and yet you are so easy to talk about."

"Haha, I can't help but talk too much. You can solve it the way you like." Rhodes turned around and waved, "See you tonight."

"Although it may seem like he's just trying to show off, what he said does make a little sense. See you tonight."

Gray also waved his hand. He felt that Rhodes looked a bit like the president and a bit like Natsu just now.

Xia Lulu complained: "What? You're such a self-righteous guy."

……

"Of course I am. I learned it from them. Don't you think the president is good at comforting people?"

"No wonder he looks like a father consoling his daughter." Gray sat on the crab's back with him and complained, "It's fine if he wants to learn from the old man, but why does he want to learn from Natsu too?"

"You don't know, we encountered a sad little girl on the last mission, and she was about this tall."

Rhode gestured and continued, "When Natsu was comforting her, he looked so cool with his gestures of patting her head, talking to her, and turning around and waving his hands. ... I want to be cool too."

"Heh, heh—" Gray made a disgusted expression.

Rhodes threatened: "Believe it or not, I will kick you off!"

Gray is not afraid of this: "Come and try it, if you can do it, I can go skating!"

Once it comes to fighting, the usually calm Gray becomes uncool and looks like he's ready to fight anyone who doesn't obey him.

The two men shouted and ran across the valley and through the jungle, startling many birds and scaring away pheasants and rabbits.

But the closer they got to the agreed location, the quieter Gray's voice became.

It was obvious that he really didn't want to meet anyone from the Council.

When they were about two kilometers away, Rhodes suddenly asked Hexie to stop.

"what happened?"

"Gray, do you think the Council will pretend to assign tasks but actually set a trap to arrest us?"

"No matter what, it's not enough to get you arrested, right?" Gray said. "Why do you ask?"

"Because there are too many people. The team wearing white robes set up a cordon. There are almost a hundred people."

Gray thought for a moment and said, "Maybe the mission has changed. If they want to arrest us in a trap, they should have ambushed us."

Rhodes thought for a moment and said, "Let's get off the crab. Let's go over there and be alert."

Gray was stunned for a moment before he realized what it meant to be a crab. As for being alert, what was he alert for? Could the two of them still go to war with the Council?

"Stop, we are the third force restraint unit of the Fiore branch of the Council, and we are prohibited from passing ahead."

"We are the wizards of Fairy Tail, and we are here on a commission from the Council."

Rhodes took out the letter of authorization and pulled his sleeve to reveal the emblem.

Gray also pulled at his collar, revealing the emblem on his chest.

Rhode glanced at Gray and felt that it was inconvenient to show the emblem like this...

Oh, he likes to take off his clothes, but he tries to restrain himself in front of the people in the Council.

Rhodes was thinking about what he would do in winter and whether he should print another one somewhere else.

"Please wait a moment." The white-robed soldier holding the magic wand left, and soon invited a man with short blond hair and a full beard to come over.

"A wizard from Fairy Tail? I'm the captain of the third strongest arresting unit, Captine.

I'm sorry, because the target's actions have changed, our plans have also been adjusted, so the commission for you two has been slightly modified."

I heard that many working people hate the temporary change of requirements.

Rhodes said calmly: "Excuse me... do you have any ID?"

"what?"

"I mean something that proves your identity or that proves you are qualified to change the council's commission," Rhodes explained.

Capetine obviously didn't expect him to ask such a question.

Even Gray was stunned for a moment. How could someone with no criminal record speak so confidently?

The soldier following behind Captim whispered:
"How rude, a Fairy Tail wizard! Would someone dare to impersonate the Council?"

Rhode looked at him and said, "Of course, there are people in our guild who dare to do this."

This man was probably proud of being a member of the Council, so Rhodes didn't bother to argue with him.

Captim raised his hand to signal his subordinates not to make trouble. He pointed to the cross symbol on his clothes:
"This is the Council's certificate. As for the qualifications for changing the commission... Here is the official document issued by the Council to arrest the members of the 'Naked Bandage Man'. I am the person in charge."

As he spoke, Captine laughed. This time, the Fairy Tail seemed a little different.
