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

Chapter 144: Can fly! The hero lands!

Rhode thought for a moment and asked, "President, the S-level exam is held every year, right? If I don't participate this year, will I still have a chance next year?"

"Of course..." Makarov nodded, "Are you planning to participate again next year?"

"Yeah, I feel like my strength and experience aren't enough to be S-rank. Even if I pass the exam it's meaningless. I might as well train hard for another year."

Rhodes understood clearly that S was just a title, a license to take S-level missions, and it did not improve his own strength at all.

As for using brains to make up for lack of strength, who would bother using their brains so hard if they have the strength?

Even if he has to take an exam, he hopes to be worthy of the title. Anyway, he is not in a hurry to take an S-level mission, so it will be the same if he takes his time.

Makarov said: "There is only one qualified person in the S-rank exam every year. Waiting one more year may mean facing a stronger opponent next year. The child who grows fast in the guild..."

"President." Mira was a little unhappy, "Why do you have to persuade Rhodes to take the exam?"

Makarov said: "Because Rod really has hope."

The fact that he rejected an opportunity that was so close to him was already a success in some ways.

Of course, on the other hand, there may be some problems with self-confidence, which needs to be observed.

"It's only been four months since he started learning magic. It's too early anyway." Mira looked at Rhodes with some concern, "Let him decide for himself."

Makarov knew what Mira was worried about, but Rod wouldn't have that kind of problem.

Even if this child passes the exam, there is more than a 90% chance that he will not dare to accept an S-level mission, or if he accepts it, he will have to find other S-level people to form a team.

"Forget it, think about it yourself." Makarov sighed, put his hands behind his back and went upstairs. He still had things to do.

Mira looked at Rod and bit her lip gently: "Rod, I...I'm sorry."

Rhode smiled and said, "Don't worry, I understand what you mean. For things like this, just let it happen naturally. I won't act rashly."

Mira nodded and gave him a smile.

Then she lowered her head and wrote and drew on the register. She crossed out Rhodes' name because she had written it wrong, then wrote it again and crossed it out again.

No, you don't understand.

I'm worried that you think I'm questioning your abilities.

"Is this some new type of curse ritual?" Rhodes was frightened by her actions. "Mira, Rhodes' crime does not deserve death!"

Mira rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Go and do your thing."

"Okay." Rhodes ran to the backyard, ready to continue practicing advanced flying maneuvers such as ground gliding and wall-climbing.

After thinking for a while, he summoned Worm and said, "I'll give you a difficult task. After you complete it, you will get a lot of money."

After tidying up the messy registration book, Mira saw a white fur ball in front of her eyes, with its big tongue hanging out and looking at her cutely.

Seeing her looking at him, Worm rolled over on the ground, revealing his pink heart-shaped belly, looking like he wanted to be touched.

Mira glanced at the hall door. Although she didn't see anyone, she knew who was causing trouble without having to guess.

She smiled knowingly and tapped the counter gently: "Why don't you come upstairs?"

Worm turned over and stood up, looking at the counter and then at the stool, and decided to challenge.

It took a few steps back to run, jumped up with force, then hit the stool with a plop and rolled to the ground.

It didn't hurt, the womb had plenty of cushioning, but it felt humiliating.

Its eyes gradually became aggrieved, the little horns on its head drooped, and finally it turned around and squatted on the ground.

After squatting for a second, I felt very tired, so I just lay down again.

"Ah, ha, ha... Sorry, I forgot you can't jump up." Mira smiled and walked out of the counter and carried Worm back.

"Huh..." Worm's eyes were cunning. While he was angry, he also wanted to peek at Mira's reaction to make sure whether he had completed his task. Being angry couldn't affect his ability to make a living.

Mira smiled and stroked Worm's head, then combed his fur, scratched his chin, and rubbed his belly: "Would you like some Poro delicacies?"

"Hululu~~" When you have food to eat, you don't have to be angry.

No one knew who had given whom the task of coaxing whom, but in the end, everyone was coaxed, and the only thing that got hurt was Rhode's wallet.

……

By the time Rhodes was able to flap his wings and hover above the guild, five or six days had passed.

With a beautiful dive, he broke into the guild's door from the outside.

It was just that the landing was a little unstable due to the deviation in height estimation. In order to avoid embarrassment, Rhodes was quick-witted and urgently adjusted himself to a heroic landing posture.

After standing up amid the booing and applause, Rhodes realized that those people were posing like that because they didn't stand steadily.

The harpy flew over and circled around Rod for a few times: "Rod, do you want to compete with me? Let's bet on a fish."

"Okay, let's compare the pose I just landed in and see who can do it better."

"Love!" Habby did a 'cat landing' move and then tried to imitate Rod's posture.

After trying hard for a while, Habib felt something was wrong: "Why are we competing in posture instead of flying speed?"

Cats are not easy to fool. Rhode thought for a moment and said, "Fast speed won't attract a female cat, but a cool posture will."

Little female cat? Habby rekindles his fighting spirit: "Love!"

You're overthinking it. Cats are still as easy to fool as ever.

The lane engine team, who happened to be bored, participated in the voting, and then Rod caught a fish.

The harpy squatted in the corner with grievance, and the whole cat was shrouded in low pressure.

The main reason wasn't because he lost the game, but because Natsu refused to help him buy another one, and asked him to win back what he lost.

Mira said with some annoyance: "It's too much to cheat even the harpy's fish. Although the harpy who competes seriously and then loses is cute."

Rod looked at her: "Should we use 'although' here?"

Mira smiled and said, "What else?"

Who is going too far?

Rod held the fish tail with a little disgust. The harpy's taste was a bit fishy and he couldn't enjoy it.

"Worm, go compete with the harpy and bet on a fish." Rod was ready to lose the fish back.

With Worm's short legs and the difficult posture in the competition, he is bound to lose, right?

However, a few minutes later, Habby owed Worm a fish.

Mira smiled even more happily when she saw Rod's depressed expression.

It's rare to encounter a game where both the winner and the loser are unhappy, except for Worm.

Rhodes said depressedly: "Who is the referee?"

Isn't Harpy the cutest kid in the guild anymore?

"I'm one of the judges!" Lucky smiled back, "You have no idea how cute Worm is when he tries to maintain that pose!"

Haha, guess who is Worm's master?

I don’t know how cute Worm is, just like Kishimoto doesn’t understand Naruto, Oda doesn’t understand One Piece, and Aoyama doesn’t understand Conan, right?
