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

Chapter 168: Kanarod vs. Laxus
The door with water ripples was probably made with an illusion magic circle. Rhodes guessed it might be the work of Mistgang.

But when he looked clearly at the person behind him, he found that it was a figure with blonde hair and wearing a coat.

Cana's eyes widened: "Laxus!"

This guy's coat is finally in season.

"It's you guys." Laxus scratched his head, looking impatient. "You're too slow, Kana, and... who else?"

Cana said angrily: "Laxus! Don't go too far!"

"Ah? What's too much? There are so many idle people in the guild. Do you want me to remember them one by one?" Laxus said with a provocative expression.

Rhodes was amused by him. This kid was probably as good as Tatsuya in making people angry.

If you want to fight back against this kind of middle school student, all you have to do is say "You're right, the president's grandson."

But it's not necessary.

He is here to take the exam, not to compete with others. The more arrogant the examiner is, the better.

"Please tell me the rules. If they are too difficult, maybe we will just give up and save you time."

"Rod?" Kana was surprised that Rod could hold back like this.

But when she thought that this was all for her exam, she couldn't help feeling ashamed.

'I thought about it and realized that it's too difficult to find weaknesses in the abilities of S-class wizards, so it's better to try to take advantage of their weaknesses in character.

For example, Erza is sometimes too serious and sometimes silly, Mistgun doesn't want people to see his face, and Laxus is... arrogant.'

This is what Rhodes said to her a few days ago. The current situation should be considered as planned.

But...Kana was still angry that her companion was looked down upon.

Laxus, that bastard!
"You are surprisingly sensible." Laxus glanced at him and said, "Since it is the old man's request, I will just explain the rules."

"There is a flag over there." Laxus pointed at it, "And there is a magic circle behind me. As long as one of you gets the flag and stands in the magic circle, you will pass."

Rhodes frowned. This was a bit difficult.

There should be a valley behind Laxus, which is similar to the terrain of "A Line of Sky" and "Huarong Road". It can be described as one man guarding the pass and ten thousand men unable to break through.

The flag he was talking about was stuck on the right side of the mountain wall, about ten meters above the ground.

To reach the magic circle, one needs to pass through a narrow passage of several dozen meters behind him.

And Laxus's magic is extremely swift thunder magic. In such a long passage, even if you get the flag, you may be attacked by him at any time.

The exam content is not so much about getting a flag, but more about...

Laxus looked at the embarrassed expressions of the two people opposite him and smiled with satisfaction: "That's right, if you don't defeat me, you can't do that at all!"

Rhodes frowned. He couldn't be so absolute. If it were Mest, this task could be completed in one second.

He now suspected that the president had given Mest a backdoor. That kind of teleportation magic was simply cheating in this exam.

Laxus continued, "But if you want to defeat me... hehe, can you do it? Huh?"

"You guy, don't underestimate me!" Kana took out a handful of cards and spread them out like a fan.

“Hahaha…” Laxus didn’t care about Cana’s words at all. “Let me make it clear in advance, if you want to fight, I won’t hold back. It’s not too late for you to admit defeat now.”

"Summon, Crimson Razorbeak! Ancient Scarab!"

A group of stone beetles and a group of razor beaks, a total of eight wild monsters, appeared one after another and lined up in front of Rhodes.

There was a hint of surprise in Laxus's eyes: "Oh? Human wave tactics? What a boring trick."

Kana threw all the cards in her hand. "It's about time you put down your arrogant attitude!"

Laxus took two steps casually, causing a dozen cards flashing with golden light to pass by him and nail them to the ground.

He twisted his neck: "After all these years, you still haven't made any progress, Kana."

"Feathers all over the sky!"

The raptors vibrated their wings, and dozens of feather daggers were shot out, and they also charged forward. "The darts are well shot, but too weak!" Laxus waved his hand, and golden lightning flashed across, burning all the feathers shot at him.

As for the raptors that charged at him, Laxus punched the largest one away and kicked a smaller one. Lightning shot out from his feet, passed through the raptor's body, and hit the other three.

The only remaining raptor was rapidly approaching the flag on the cliff.

"Too naive!" Laxus seemed to be deliberately showing off his speed. He was like a golden lightning. In a blink of an eye, he was in front of the razor-beaked bird and kicked it down with one foot.

"Opportunity!" Kana raised her hand and shot three cards towards Laxus in mid-air:

"The brilliance of the stars!"

"Fountain of Prayer!"

"Destiny...Summoning Thunder!"

The first card exploded, emitting a blinding light like a flash bomb;
Countless water blades gushed out from the second card, shooting towards Laxus during the flash.
The third card shoots out bolts of lightning, attacking Laxus, who should have been soaked by the water even if he wasn't hurt by the water blade.

In Kana's eyes, Laxus is not a dragon slayer wizard, so there is no problem in using thunder magic to attack thunder wizards.

To be fair, this set of combined attacks is very powerful. The average magician cannot react in mid-air at all. After this set of attacks, he can basically open the champagne.

But Laxus was obviously not an ordinary wizard, so Rhodes summoned another group of raptors and launched a volley of attacks.

It also summoned a group of shadow wolves, with two small ones stacked on top of each other and spinning forward, and the two-headed wolf spinning and pouncing on its own.

Tooth-tooth! Tooth-tooth!

"Receive Crimson Razorback!" Rhodes leaped up, flapped his wings and flew up.

"With this level of lightning, who are you looking down on?" Laxus expressed his dissatisfaction with them using lightning to attack him, a lightning wizard.

He pulled off his wet coat and lightning exploded from his body, once again singeing the feathers that were shot at him.

Laxus raised his knees and the two-headed wolf was hit in the chin.

Lightning poured into its entire body, singeing its fur, and the two-headed wolf fell with black smoke.

With a downward thrust of his elbow, the two ordinary wolves were also electrocuted and their bodies were charred.

Just then, Laxus landed on the ground, and Rhodes had already grabbed the flagpole with his bird claws and pulled the flag out of the cliff.

"!" Laxus noticed Rhodes's movements and felt a little angry. "You bastard, you really don't take me seriously!"

"Good job, Rhodes!" Kana shot out two more cards, "Sun's Blaze! Emperor's Wind Blade!"

"Enough!" Laxus waved his right hand backwards, and the dazzling lightning swallowed the explosive flames and wind blades, and even had enough strength to fly towards Kana behind.

"Ah~~~" Kana screamed after being struck by lightning.

Rhodes lost no time and dived towards the magic circle.

Laxus turned around and took a step forward when a card shattered at his feet, freezing him in place.

Kana, whose hair was a little curly, smiled and said, "Icicle of the God of Death."

However, the icicle shattered as soon as it appeared. Laxus turned into a ray of lightning and blocked Rhodes' way, kicking him in the abdomen.

Rhodes flew backwards, leaving a mark on the ground. When he turned over and jumped up, he had returned to Kana.

Laxus had already grasped the flag and leaned it on the ground. He spoke slowly and slowly, "I say, that's enough."

Lightning flashed all over Laxus' body, and even his mouth and eyes were spewing lightning.

That posture was like that of an angry Thor.

Cana was concerned about Rhodes' condition: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Rhodes lifted the receiving magic, "Sorry, it was almost there."

"I failed to hold him back." Kana was not discouraged and drew out a few more cards. "This guy is really not that easy to deal with."
