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

Chapter 192 Millionaire Rod
Rhodes sincerely believed that Troy needed to become more mature and reliable. He didn't necessarily need to be strong, as long as he was more reliable in character.

The key is not to be like Jet, who drags down the mission by trying to show off his prowess.

But Troy himself doesn't think so. He always feels that he can't pursue Lebi because his pursuit method is wrong or the way of confession is wrong or something.

Rhodes had no choice but to remind him once this time and again next time. If he still didn't believe it, then forget it.

……

"This kind of thing again?" Mira looked interested, "Why do they always like to consult you?"

"How would I know? I've never been in a relationship."

Anyway, nominally the talks haven't started yet.

"Anyway, I'm leaving this matter to you. Just quietly find out what type of person Rei likes."

"No problem, I'll take care of it."

Mira is confident in her intelligence (gossip) ability, and so is Rhodes.

After explaining the important things, Rhodes looked at the notice board for a while, and felt that there was nothing worth checking, so he went back to the backyard to practice.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The Council sent someone to deliver the reward for the last mission.

There were no neatly arranged 270 large bills. What the Council gave was a check that could be drawn on any major bank in the Kingdom of Fiore.

——There are banks in this world. Although they are occasionally targeted by dark guilds, the security measures of large banks are good, and they rarely suffer losses.

Rhodes has been here for more than half a year, and has never seen words like "financial crisis" in newspapers or other places.

This shows that the kingdom's economy is developing healthily and the royal family will not mess around with the economy. So banks are generally trustworthy.

Mira was in charge of checking the checks and registering the work, while Erza and Rod needed to answer some questions from the investigators who came specially for this trip.

The first issue was the casualties among the black-robed men. When the Council team arrived at the scene, more than a dozen people from the Black Magic Cult had died, and several more were seriously injured and died on the way back.

Such high casualties are strictly beyond the scope of the 'arrest' mission.

However, considering the danger of this mission, it is not impossible to understand. It's just that the Council wants to understand the reason why there are such heavy casualties.

Erza was prepared, and calmly listed the types of magic bullets used by those black-robed men.

She had used the Diamond Armor to withstand hundreds of magic bullets and had a very clear understanding of their properties.

The investigator wrote them down one by one: curse, bone breaking, blood transformation... You can tell from the sounds of it that these are dangerous magics, so it's understandable that they would be more drastic in battle.

Rhodes added: "We also had to protect the safety of 14 children at the time. It would be irresponsible to the children if we spared them."

The investigator nodded. This was something that had to be taken into consideration. Those guys died too easily.

"Regarding that dangerous altar, it was completely destroyed when our people arrived. May I ask what it looked like in detail?"

Erza frowned: "Why do you want to know about that?"

"We need to know the extent of the Black Magic Cult's understanding of demons. We will then ask earth magicians, illusion magicians, and sealing magicians of corresponding levels to handle the scene."

Wow, so you’re going to use illusion seal + magic seal + physical seal on the demon’s birthplace, right?

The Council handles this kind of thing quite rigorously.

Erza thought about it and took out her sketchbook: "In that case, I'll help you draw it."

"Erza, how about I draw it?" Rhodes thought that after all he had learned solid geometry and had drawn three-view and perspective drawings.

No matter what, it is better than Erza's soul painting. Erza showed an interested expression: "Oh? You want to compete with me in painting? Come on, let me see your level."

"..." Rod went to Lidas to borrow a sketchbook and pencil.

The investigator had the honor of becoming the referee. When he got the two people's paintings and looked at Erza's confident expression, he found it hard to understand.

"Well, well..." The investigator weighed his words carefully. He should give the Fairy Queen some face, but he couldn't speak too against his conscience.

After a long while, he managed to utter: "Both of your paintings are very helpful to our work. Thank you."

"So there's no winner? What a pity." Erza looked at Rhodes with admiration. "I didn't expect you're good at painting. Let's compete again next time!"

"Haha, ha..." Rod laughed awkwardly. Without a ruler, his drawings were just barely understandable. They were only slightly better than the stick drawings of an elementary school student. He was not good at painting at all.

Mira came over with the registration book: "Hello, please sign here."

"Okay, sorry for disturbing you this time. Thank you for cooperating with the investigation."

The investigator quickly wrote down his name, took the receipt Mira gave him and the two masterpieces and fled from Fairy Tail.

Mira handed the check to Rhodes: "Your reward, go to the bank to withdraw it when you have time."

Erza said, "I have an appointment with the designer of the Heart-Shaped Cross to discuss new armor, and the time is almost up."

"It's okay, I'm free now..." Rhodes glanced at Mira, "Well, can I be free now?"

If you want to go out during working hours, you have to wait for your leader's approval.

Mira tilted her head and also used a question: "Is it okay?"

Rhodes asked again: "Then are you free?"

The main reason was that Rhodes had never been to a bank. What if he got cheated while doing business? It would be best to have someone accompany him.

Mira smiled and said, "That's fine."

Anyway, the guild is not busy right now, and the president is taking a nap on the second floor, so it’s okay for him to go out for a while.

"That's great."

Erza rushed to the clothing company, while Rhodes and Mira walked leisurely to the bank.

Before going out, Mira simply tied her hair up using the hair tie that Rhodes gave her.

Rhodes paid attention to keeping warm and put on the scarf Mira gave him.

The sky is blue, the bridge is arched, the canal water is not frozen, the winter sun is warm, and the people around me... are the ones I want to be with for the rest of my life.

The banks here are still in the paper-based office stage and their business efficiency is average.

Rod opened his own account here, deposited 100 million J from the money withdrawn from the check, and kept 35 J in cash to pay off debts and for pocket money.

The other 135 million J will be directly transferred to Erza's account.

A wizard's identity verification can be done by face scan or emblem scan, and banks have special magic crystals that can be used to verify these things.

When Rhodes left the bank with a stack of bills and a small passbook, he still felt a sense of unreality.

Does this make you a millionaire?
Although the unit is J, the long string of zeros really makes people feel happy.

Rhode said in a nouveau riche tone, "Come on, it's my treat today, order whatever you want!"

"Okay." Mira felt Rhodes' joy and became happy too.

In fact, she has been earning quite a bit recently, so why not use this as an excuse to treat him once?
