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

Chapter 216 Love! We want to bet on Rhodes to win
"Hey, am I seeing right? Natsu seems to be completely suppressed?"

"That's Rod, right? What's that form?"

"Isn't he learning reception magic recently? It seems like he received something extraordinary."

"No wonder he was able to team up with Erza a few days ago. This guy has grown so fast."

The hole created by Natsu's collision provided a good viewing angle for everyone, and a group of bored people had something new to watch.

Happy looked at Natsu who seemed to be at a disadvantage with concern, and said sadly:
"Is there no one to start a betting game? We want to bet on Rhodes to win."

Mira smiled and touched Happy's head, actually she wanted to buy it too.

"So annoying! Vines!" Several vines grew out of Rhodes' arms, and they wrapped around Natsu's body like snakes, binding him tightly, then he raised his hand and threw him out.

It’s a pity that after the vine left Rhodes’ arm, it was immediately burned to ashes by the flames.

"Damn it, it's obviously fire, why can't I eat it?" Natsu wiped his mouth and took a deep breath.

"The fire dragon's...roar!"

Rhodes did not dodge, but instead used his arms to block his face and took it.

The raging fire engulfed him whole and many parts of his body were burnt, but the red ball of light on his chest flickered and the damaged parts recovered somewhat quickly.

Mira clenched her fist angrily. These two people, one didn't use enough strength to attack, and the other didn't dodge when he could, and his defense was not serious enough.

In the past, she would have punched each of them.

That's not right. If I had my previous personality, I might have just fueled their flames...

"So you've become so strong!" Natsu laughed, "In that case, how about trying this trick?"

Natsu accumulated magic power, and blazing flames surrounded him.

Rhodes half-squatted with one hand on the ground, wondering whether to interrupt him.

"Dragon Killer..."

"Crimson..."

"Stop it!" Two big hands broke through the wall of the guild and stretched out from inside, holding Natsu and Rhodes in one hand.

"Wahaha!" Natsu lost all his momentum and supported Makarov's fingers with both hands, "What are you doing, old man! I'm about to win!"

Rhodes didn't even bother to struggle and silently cancelled the receiving magic. His body shrank so that he could get away a little and sit on the president's palm.

Makarov yelled, "Open your eyes and see what you have done to the guild!"

Natsu hummed and stopped talking. He would always feel guilty about destroying the guild when the old man asked him about it.

Makarov was heartbroken: "And Rod, why did you follow him and make trouble?"

"I was wrong, I will fix it." Rhodes admitted his mistake with a very proper attitude. He just saw Natsu coming to pick a fight and was in a good mood, so he wanted to take the opportunity to test his strength.

"Um... President." Mira's voice rang out, "The two strikes you just made caused more damage than what Rhode did."

Makarov's momentum stagnated, and his angry words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.

He released Natsu and Rod and returned to his normal size, "Well, anyway, you two come with me and fix the guild!"

"Yes."*2
The crowd was disappointed:
"What a shame, such a wonderful battle."

"Yeah, I thought I'd see Natsu beating up Rod."

"I think it's more interesting to see Rod beat Natsu up."

There were many people who wanted to see Rhodes get beaten up. Even though they knew it was useless, it was still more satisfying that way.

If I had known that things would develop to this point today, I should have practiced with Rhodes more when he was still weak.

What a missed opportunity! Many people sighed.

Gray would rather see Natsu get beaten, and he himself was also a little itchy.

It feels like Natsu and Rod are getting stronger, and Gray also wants to have a good fight with them.

Rhodes went to repair the outer wall, a job he was familiar with.

Makarov and Natsu repaired the wooden wall inside, a job they were familiar with. Since the bulletin board was more important, Mira directly asked Laqi to repair it, and then the two picked up the scattered commissions and posted them one by one.

Nabu also helped actively.

"It seems like your guy has become a bad guy, Sister Mira."

Mira was almost too lazy to correct him: "Rod knows his limits, he just gets a sudden impulse occasionally."

"really?"

"Yes, last time we went to help Mrs. Marie find her wallet, we met..."

"What what?" Laqi looked curious.

Mira refused to say anything: "Nothing."

"It's the most annoying thing to say halfway." Lucky complained, and then said excitedly,

"Sister Mila, you always mention 'us' when you chat recently~"

"Really?" Mira herself didn't notice it, but thinking about it carefully, it was natural.

Because recently, whether I’m eating, shopping, or training, he’s everywhere.

……

In late February, Rod and Elfman teamed up for another mission.

Elfman was no longer as disgusted with Rod approaching Mira as before.

As a younger brother, although I was a little repulsive at first about the fact that my sister had someone she liked, the feeling of reluctance was only a small one. I was more worried that my sister would be cheated by unreliable people.

Elfman was used to seeing people like Loki who played with many women, and people like Jet and Troy who couldn't beat him even if they attacked him together.

How could he feel at ease about this?

But as for Rhodes, they have been in the team so many times and have played so many games, so overall he is still trustworthy.

It's just that there's suddenly one more person in your life and you need to get used to it.

That's not right. Rhodes and the siblings have been training together every day for a long time, so they should be used to it.

Elfman fell into deep thought. When did this guy start harassing his sister?

When you just woke up after being picked up by the president?

"Welcome back, Elfman, Rod." Mira looked them up and down, "Are you okay?"

Elfman said, "No, there was no fighting at all this time."

This time the mission is to escort a family of four to move a long distance. This family has a lot of wealth and they are worried about being robbed on the road so they hire a magician to escort them.

For Rhodes and his team, earning 20 J just by running errands for the team is a huge profit.

Mira glanced at Elfman and gave Rod a questioning look.

Rhodes looked at her apologetically and shook his head slightly.

Mira gave him a reassuring look and shook her head slightly to indicate that it was okay.

“???” Elfman was confused. What kind of strange way of communication was this?
Are you two already able to communicate without speaking?

Or did Qiao Mo and Volian learn telepathic magic?

He couldn't help but ask: "Sister, what are you talking about?"

Mira smiled and said, "It's nothing. We have been traveling so far and have worked hard. Let's take a good rest."

Elfman left with doubts, always feeling that his sister and Rod were hiding something from him.

Could it be that they got engaged secretly?

Although it feels a bit fast, there is no need to hide this kind of thing...

Suddenly he wanted to fight Rhodes again.
