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

Chapter 171 The Mountain Collapsed

Erza looked worried: "President, Laxus..."

"It's okay. I'll talk to him later." Makarov shook his head slightly, then smiled at Kana and Rhodes, "First of all, congratulations on passing the second level!"

"President, what is the next level?"

Kana's excitement had passed and now she was feeling a little worried.

If the next level was of the same difficulty, it would be difficult for her and Rhodes to cope with it in their current state.

Makarov smiled and said, "Don't worry, let's go to the camp and rest for a while first."

It was certainly good to have a break before the third exam began.

The two followed the president's footsteps and headed for the camp. Of course, Cana could still walk on her own, but Rhodes was basically supported by Erza.

"Oh, right, the others..."

Rumble!
Rhodes was about to ask about the status of other teams when he heard a loud noise behind him.

The ground began to shake, and before Rhodes could look back, Erza had already carried him, pulled Cana and followed the president to a safe place.

When he was put down by Erza, he just happened to see the mountain wall that he had just punched to create a crack collapsing.

Then, cracks spread from the mountain to the ground, connecting to the big hole that was stepped on when Laxus was beaten, and leading to the opposite mountain wall.

As a result, the pair of peaks that formed the amazing sight of "A Line of Sky" collapsed and became a low mountain of rocks.

Makarov opened his mouth wide, and he looked like he was about to be petrified: "I remember that this examination room was specially reinforced with earth magic before the exam..."

Erza thought for a moment and said, "It may be because Rhode's summoned beasts are drilling around in the mountains and underground.

And the floating cannons that were created when receiving magic to extract the rocks from the mountain, plus the punch that hit the mountain wall, and the aftermath of the battle with Laxus...

It should be that these factors combined to produce a chain reaction, causing the magic to reinforce the mountain to fail."

"This... do I need to pay for it?" Rhodes was embarrassed, as if he had accidentally gotten into trouble.

But the punch he threw to the mountain wasn't just out of impulse, it was to block Kana's figure, it was part of his strategy...

Makarov sighed, "I don't think you need to pay compensation, but for making such a fuss near the railway... I think you should write a letter of apology."

He was even glad that he had chosen the examination venue a few kilometers further north.

In short, it’s good that it didn’t affect the railway. Fortunately, fortunately.

It would be better to hold next year's S-level exam on our own turf.

Although I feel sad if it breaks something, at least I don’t have to write an apology, right?

Besides, children would always behave themselves in their own territory. At least someone as sensible as Rhodes would definitely...right?

Makarov rubbed his forehead, hoping that in the coming year Rhodes would not be led astray by others.

Rhodes looked at the president's actions thoughtfully. Could it be that the old man's hairline was rubbed out like this?
Being the hairline of these problem children... No, being the president, it's really not easy.

The temporary camp specially set up for the exam is located in a slightly open area not far from the examination hall.

A simple tent was set up in the middle of the venue. Wallian and Marcus were lying inside it. There were fires lit in front and behind the tent for warmth.

Mi Ji, Qiao Yi and Wang Qiangji are setting up the pot to prepare dinner.

Judging from the bandages wrapped around Honey and Joey's arms and the ointments on their foreheads, Walliams and Marcus seemed to be quite ruthless.

A simple chopping board rack has been set up next to it, and the president has brought quite a lot of things with him when he goes out.

That's not right. Rhode remembered that he had seen Erza's luggage cart in the guild and suspected that she had brought all of them. Cana counted the number of people and asked, "Where are Mistergang and Mester?"

"Mistergang has something else to do, so he went back early." Makarov said, "Mester said he wanted to look around and would go back later."

He knew that stupid Mest wanted to take the opportunity to investigate Fairy Tail's "handle", so as long as it didn't interfere with the exam, he could let him do it.

"Are you cooking? I'll help too!" Erza suddenly got excited and pushed Rhodes towards Cana, "Change clothes!"

Wallian and Marcus, who were lying in the tent, sat up suddenly and shouted in horror: "Don't change clothes! Don't change clothes! We give up!"

Cana helped Rhodes sit down and asked, "Did you... meet Erza?"

Wallian was relieved to see that Erza had only changed into a cook's outfit. "Yeah, that's horrible."

Marcus pointed at the bandages on himself and Wallian. "I really lost to her. I got a terrible lesson from her."

"I see." Rhode lay down and asked, "So Mester and Wang encountered Mistergang? Did they pass it?"

Speaking of other unlucky people, Marcus was no longer sleepy: "The performance of these two was even worse. It seemed that they fell asleep at the beginning of the exam and were then sent to the camp by Mistgang."

You have teleportation magic, but you still haven’t passed this test where you have to grab the flag and enter the battle formation?

Rhode wondered if Mistgang was not following the rules and immediately hypnotized the whole place after explaining the rules. Or maybe he just used illusion to create a false flag or something.

Kana and Rhodes looked at each other. Fortunately, they did not encounter Mistgang, otherwise they might lose without knowing how they lost.

"Hahaha, looking at it this way, we are not that bad." Wallian said happily, "At least we fought Erza for several rounds."

Getting beaten is part of the battle.

Rhode said rudely: "But Mester and the others are not injured."

Volian said angrily, "Damn it! How dare you say such things! Have you ever been beaten worse by Laxus?"

“But we got through it.”

“Ahhh…” Volian held his head in despair. He thought Laxus might have let us win. “Why are we the only ones who encountered this female knight who didn’t know how to hold back?”

Erza seemed to hear someone talking about her from behind. When she turned around and saw Wallian, she raised her thumb with the hand holding the kitchen knife: "You are still far from it!"

Wallian lay down, tired, and decided not to come next time.

Unless we can make more progress next year.

Rhodes laughed and chatted with them, and he felt less tired.

After resting for a while, Kana suddenly said without thinking: "Thank you, Rod."

"Hmm?" Rhode smiled bitterly. "Don't be so quick to thank me. I may not be able to help you much in the third level. Sorry."

The two groups of highly functional wild monsters, three wolves and six birds, have been killed and have not been refreshed yet.

His condition is very bad, and it is hard to say how much he can recover before the exam.

If there is something to search for later, he can try hard and get a shadow wolf to help him smell the scent.

But if there's combat involved, he probably won't be able to provide much help.

"Don't say that." Kana shook her head gently, "No one can do better than you. I will work hard on the next level."

The aroma of food wafted over, and Erza waved the spoon in her hand: "Over there, dinner is ready!"
