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

Chapter 267 Just this time

Rod and Mira's current training programs overlap to a considerable extent.

What both of them need most is magic power.

One was originally a shortcoming and is in the process of improvement.

Another reason is that the magic consumption is too high, and aspects that should not have been shortcomings have become shortcomings.

As long as you persist in meditation training every day and improve your mental strength, you can gradually increase your magic power limit.

Another more brutal way is to run while dragging heavy objects, or do frog jumps with stones on your back, like Natsu did.

In addition to strengthening the body, this is actually a test of willpower. Forcing yourself to keep persisting under extreme conditions naturally requires a tenacious spirit.

When he was eager to improve his magic power, Rhodes tried both methods of practice, which was also the reason for his rapid progress.

But this is almost torturing myself. Now I am practicing with Mira, mainly using the first method.

His physical fitness certainly had not declined either. Rhodes was now stronger than when he first arrived, and had hard muscles on his body.

It's just that he looks more like someone who just came out of the army, rather than someone who trained in the gym.

call……

A whirlwind-like airflow spread out around, marking the completion of a round of practice.

Mira exhaled softly, wiped the sweat from her forehead, opened her eyes and looked at Rhodes who was sitting cross-legged opposite her.

His eyes were still closed, he sat upright, his mouth tightly pursed, beads of sweat hung on his face like Mira's, and his expression was very serious.

Mira has seen this look many times, but she still thinks it is very attractive, and she thinks it is getting more and more beautiful recently.

If there was anything wrong with it, it was that this was not an easy practice, so his brows were furrowed.

Mira really wanted to reach out and smooth it out for him, but she was worried about disturbing him... Just watch quietly for a while, taking advantage of the break.

Not long after, a breeze created by magic appeared around Rhodes, just like Mira.

He opened his eyes and met Mira's.

Mira stepped back in a panic.

Rhode's brain was working rapidly. At this distance, could it be that...

He closed his eyes decisively: "Oops, there is something wrong with meditation, I have to continue for a while."

"Stop pretending." Mira felt that he must have misunderstood something.

"No, just pretend I'm not awake and continue... otherwise I'll regret it so much that I won't be able to sleep tonight."

Mira's face flushed: "What regret? I didn't want to do anything! Don't expect something weird."

"Oh."

It was a pity that Rod's body had relaxed and he also needed to rest for a while.

He moved his position and stood next to Mira: "How is the progress?"

"Not bad. I feel it's more efficient than when I did this kind of training before. It's like I'm making up for the gap of more than a year."

Mira also likes to stick to him like this, feeling solid and comfortable? She doesn't know how to describe it.

Anyway, it's nice to just cuddle up with each other like this.

She reached out and grabbed one of Rhodes' hands, smoothed open his palm, and opened each finger to look at it.

She put her palm against it for comparison and asked, "How are you?"

"I'm not bad either. When I'm in a good mood, my training efficiency may also improve."

Rhodes watched her fiddling with her hands, deliberately clenching her fists.

Mira wanted to pry it open with force, but after thinking it over, she felt that it would be better if she couldn't pry it open, so she held Rhodes' hand weakly and pouted at him.

Rhode admired Mira's cute look, then readily let go of her hand and let her continue playing.

I always feel that if I don't know what's good for me, my fingers will be broken next.

The two relaxed for a while and immediately entered into the next round of practice.

It's ordinary physical combat training.

In this regard, Rhode needs more combat experience, and Mira needs to regain her touch as soon as possible. The training process... To put it mildly, Rhode is better at growing under pressure.

Fortunately, I did make some progress after the practice, and it was a little bit of consolation.

After all the training was completed, the two of them took a shower in the guild bathroom, changed out of their sportswear, and left hand in hand.

They will mainly do this kind of basic exercises in the next few days, and then find a spacious place for actual combat training after a while.

Rod took Mira's hand and walked towards her home as usual.

But when they reached the fork in the road, they were stopped and Mira pointed: "This way."

"what?"

Mira said with a smirk on her face: “I’ll take you home today.”

Rhodes was a little confused: "Why?"

"Because... I'm stronger now. It's not safe for a boy to walk alone at night." Mira smiled with her hands covering her mouth.

"..." These words sounded familiar to Rhodes.

What is this? Is this karma?
It’s over.

Rhodes looked up at the sky, his mood as dark as the starless night sky today: "Just this once."

Mira nodded with a smile: "Okay."

With a delicate mood, Rhodes was really sent to the doorstep.

Mira released the arm that she had been holding all the way in her arms and waved to him: "Good night~"

"Good night." Rhodes stood at the door and watched Mira turn and leave.

But Mira took a few steps and suddenly returned to Rhodes.

She put her hands on Rhodes' shoulders, met his puzzled gaze, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face.

Then he turned and ran away.

Rhodes stared at her back in a daze.

Liar, you said before that you didn’t want to do anything!
But very happy.

Rhodes was laughing foolishly, feeling very happy.

It took him a while to realize that something was wrong and he couldn't go on like this!

Give yourself an extra hour of practice later!

"Summon, Canyon Swift Crab, Worm!" Rhodes pointed in the direction Mira left, "Go."

……

The days that followed were peaceful and comfortable.

Everyone gradually got used to the presence of a couple in the guild - in fact, they were very close to begin with, but they had become even closer recently.

Rod also accepted the fact that his girlfriend was temporarily better than him and might be better than him for quite some time.

He is also working hard for this.

On the one hand, it was because of the strange pressure, and on the other hand, it was because Mira was with him and he felt happy, so his training efficiency was quite high.

As his own magic power grew, the last fog of war in Summoner's Rift slowly dissipated.

Rhodes could see a strange symbol looming on the mountain wall next to the dragon pit.

——The little dragon is about to appear.

Judging from its current performance, it should be an elemental dragon.

I don't know if this 'Asian Dragon' means what he understands, and how its fighting power compares to the dragons in this world.

Also, this thing shouldn't be too small. If you summon it rashly, it might cause a commotion...

Should we call in the 'Dragon Slayer' then?

My fingers started to hurt o(╥﹏╥)o
