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

Chapter 256 Luo is doing this for the stability of the magic world

Makarov's first concern was for human life: "Were we attacked? What about the casualties?"

Lahar said: "There were no casualties, but everyone lost their magic power in an instant, and then the prisoner disappeared. The other party probably just wanted to save people and didn't want more information to fall into the hands of the Council."

Rhode broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. Fortunately, he didn't encounter this strange magic that could make people lose their magic power.

"Hmm... Everyone lost their magic power in an instant. Was it a trap set in advance by a spell or something? And there was also a kind of space magic." There was too little information, so Makarov couldn't analyze too much. "It seems to be a very difficult enemy."

Lahar nodded and said, "That's right, so the information Mr. Rhodes has is even more important."

Makarov nodded to Rod, indicating that he could give it to them.

Rhodes took out a stack of papers and asked: "Do you have anyone who can make copies?"

"Of course." Lahar immediately asked the people around him to take action.

The convenient magic of copying is still very useful to the Council.

Although they are equipped with printing machines, they are too cumbersome, so there are still many civil servants who master this kind of magic.

While copying the documents, Lahar took a look at the information provided by Rhodes.

I thought it would be good enough to know the name, magic and general characteristics, but the first page turned out to be a character portrait.

There are actually illustrations when talking about magic effects, and the pitch-black flames are so realistic!

The most outrageous thing is that it also includes what the two people said before and during the battle!

Even those slightly literary sentences of Lastiros were recorded, and he circled the parts that he couldn't remember clearly.

This is very useful for analyzing the opponent's personality and fighting style!

Lahar had never seen anyone gather intelligence this way. It was almost like marking the color of the other party's underwear.

"Mr. Rhodes, this..."

He didn't know what to say, and for a moment, Lahar thought of poaching his talent.

"What's wrong? Doesn't conform to your standard format?"

"No, it's the intelligence agencies that should learn from you what standard formats are."

Lahar shook his head. If every piece of intelligence was so detailed, he couldn't imagine how easy it would be to formulate a battle plan.

Rhode said, "That's good, but I have to remind you that intelligence is time-sensitive. If we can't catch them in a short time, they might learn some new magic."

Lahar disagreed: "It's not that easy to learn new magic.

Especially for wizards as strong as them, it is not easy to practice to the current level. It will take a longer time to continue to improve. "

Rhodes looked at Makarov. Is that so?
"He's right." Makarov felt that Rhodes had some misunderstanding about learning magic.

Children like Natsu, Gray, and Cana are already considered very talented.

Which one of them didn't learn magic since childhood to reach their current level?
In total, it took each person about ten years.

Learning new magic, like the text magic and costume magic that Rhodes learned, is fine if it is just for the convenience of life, but if you want to significantly improve your combat effectiveness, don't even think about it without years of training.

Unless he is a genius among geniuses, or his compatibility with a certain magic is good enough to rival that kind of genius.

For example, Rhodes could be considered the latter, but the probability of this happening is too low.

"Oh, there is one more thing." Rhode said, "You have seen those pictures. I asked the best artist in our guild to help draw them. He did not go to work these days to help me draw these pictures, so..."

Makarov gasped, this information was originally intended to be shared with all the major guilds.

He cooperated with the Council just to write fewer self-criticisms in the future, but this kid Rhodes actually wanted to make money from the Council?

Rhode decisively began to play the victim: "President, don't look at me like that. I failed in my last mission, and I also consumed precious magic books and magic crystals, plus the medical expenses for this injury.

These past few days, I have been working tirelessly to organize intelligence for the stability of the magic world. If I were to pay Lidas again, I wouldn’t be able to afford a meal…”

"Mr. Rhodes, stop talking..." Laharl already felt guilty for losing the captives, and if he continued to say this, he would be ashamed. Mr. Rhodes worked so hard, but they were dragging their feet. Who should maintain the stability of the magic world?
"With my authority, I can apply for a designated mission for you and this painter... Mr. Lidas, right? It's a small compensation. Thank you for your help."

"Oh, oh, I'm so sorry, it's what we should do!" Rhodes was happy, the rewards for designated tasks would not be too low.

I have made back the money I spent on the magic book and magic crystal, maybe I'll even be rich again, that's great.

The Council is really rich.

After Lahar and the others left, Makarov looked at him expectantly: "Rod."

"President, please speak frankly. It's scary to look at me like this."

"It's nothing. You must do your best in this year's S-class exam."

Makarov walked away leisurely, feeling that the days were becoming more and more hopeful.

“……” Rhodes couldn’t understand what he was doing. The exam was in December and it was only the end of April, so there was still half a year left. Why should I cheer him up?

"Rod, this mission." Gray put a commission on the counter, "Is Mira not here?"

"Well, she and Elfman went to visit the graves."

This is what Mira told Rod yesterday.

Although it’s not the anniversary of his death yet, both siblings want to go and see it.

Rhode was not too worried. Mira was no longer the Mira of half a year ago, and Elfman had taken a big step forward.

As long as Elfman is willing to forgive himself, Mira will be soon too.

"So that's how it is." Gray thought for a moment and said, "I'm sorry about what happened last time."

Rhodes was stunned: "Ah? What's the matter?"

Gray said, "When you and Elfman had an accident a few days ago, I was on a mission and didn't receive any contact, so..."

He's actually still upset about not being able to provide support.

Rhode smiled and said, "I should thank you for caring about me so much. It was Elfman and I who caused trouble for everyone a few days ago."

Gray is a man whose magic is as cold as his heart is hot.

"But are you sure you want to take this mission?" Rhodes pointed to the mission list:
「Temporary recruitment of fashion models (male)」

Requirements: Handsome, sunny appearance, well-developed muscles, and enthusiastic.

Job description: Wear designated clothing to attract customers in clothing stores and act as a shopping guide when necessary.

The difficulty is not high, and Gray's appearance is not a problem, but he is required to wear a designated costume...

This seems a bit difficult.

"No problem, I'll go with Loki, he has experience in this area."

Rhodes looked outside the door and saw Loki with half of his head exposed, waving at him cautiously.

With Loki, a handsome and famous man, the hard requirements would be no problem, but Rhodes became more worried.

It feels like something bad is going to happen when these two people are doing this kind of work of soliciting customers.

"Well...you guys should pay more attention."

In principle, we cannot deny people the job they choose just because they have personality problems.

Although the guild has strict restrictions on the strength of dangerous missions, it is particularly lenient in this regard.

After all, people can make progress, and the president always hopes that the children can make progress in the next task.

Rhodes had no choice but to help stamp it.
