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

Chapter 298 Will Wild Monsters Become Stronger?

With the help of the crab, Natsu and Lucy found it much easier to climb the mountain, but unfortunately they encountered a snowstorm, and the mountain climbing experience was not good at all.

It was clearly summer, but a blizzard occurred so close to Magnolia, making Rhodes feel as if he was out of time and space.

"You seem to care about Lucy."

During the afternoon break, Rod's voice broadcast function would occasionally inform Mira of Natsu and Lucy's whereabouts and current situation.

Mira finally couldn't help but ask this question.

There is no way to tell the truth directly.

Rhodes considered the safest option.

"Don't say it if you want to lie to me." Mira glanced at his expression, lowered her head, took out a pen and an account book, and tried to look busy.

But someone had already settled the accounts, so there was nothing she could do.

Rhode grabbed her right hand, pulled out the pen, gently straightened her bent fingers, and held her hand with both hands:
"I can only tell you part of it. The president is here too."

Makarov looked at Rod. He thought it was just a jealous quarrel between a young couple. Was it necessary for him to get involved?
Rod said: “In fact, I felt a sense of familiarity when I first met Wendy and when I first met Lucy.

I think Wendy might join our guild for some reason in the future, and when that day comes, maybe something big will happen.

Maybe it will only affect a few people, or maybe our entire guild will be involved.

I don’t know what I can do with my current abilities in such a big event, and I’m not sure if my recklessness will lead things in a bad direction…”

"You know, I am... someone who suddenly appeared."

This is what Rhodes is most worried about. He heard that Fairy Tail has a happy ending, but what if things change because of his intrusion?
If the guild could have safely overcome all the difficulties, but ended up going in a bad direction because of someone like him...

In the past, I just thought that it would be fine if I just became stronger slowly, and that it would be the right thing to do if I followed the protagonists.

But now they are not the protagonists, they are companions, good friends, and important family members.

Even without mentioning Mira, Rhodes still remembered the scene when he asked for help and Gray came to apologize out of guilt because he was out and couldn't help when he asked for help.

They really treat me as a family member. What should I do if something goes wrong because of me?
With the appearance of Wendy and Lucy, Rod began to worry about such things.

It was Mira's turn to hold his hand: "What is this, a prophecy?"

"I guess so. Maybe it's a full-scale war with the Devil's Heart, or a head-on conflict with the Phantom, and then being targeted by the Council?"

Rhodes felt the warmth from her palm and said his unreliable guess, "Anyway, something big should happen."

Of course something big will happen. Makarov knows more than him, something that might be related to the guild's top secrets, or to the disappearance of the dragon.

but……

"Don't worry about that. First of all, you're not the only one who suddenly appeared. There may be people with heavy backgrounds as well. It doesn't matter."

Makarov smiled, “The most important thing is that we are a family now, whether the big event you foresee affects a few people or everyone, it is the same to us.

No matter what happens, we will face it together. Will things get worse because of you? No, the more family we have, the stronger we become!

Fairy Tail is a guild made up of idiots who are always prone to trouble, so don't worry about doing anything wrong. Like I said today, just move forward in the path you believe in. "

Makarov held out his own hand, index finger pointing up and thumb outstretched.

That gesture means: "Even if you are not in front of us, even if we are far away, we will always be watching you and will always be by your side."

Rod rubbed his nose and spoke in a slightly different voice: "You are not trying to trick me into crying, are you?" Makarov gave him a bright smile: "There is nothing wrong with crying."

Rhodes held back: "My girlfriend is watching, it's embarrassing."

Mira hugged him from behind and said gently, "It's just in time for me to help you dry it."

Rhode placed his hand over hers and changed the subject: "Natsu and the others encountered two Valkens! They seemed to be guarding something... Let's start fighting!"

He imitated Natsu's voice with great emotion: "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist! Piao--"

The word "beautiful" was stuck in his throat. He saw Natsu being knocked out because the ground was slippery, and Happy came to the rescue urgently.

"Can this idiot be more serious?" Rhodes was horrified.

The two Vulcans immediately targeted Lucy, but the crabs ran away with her quickly, and she seemed to be very scared.

But she was a magician after all, so she took out a golden key.

"Lucy summoned a celestial spirit! Is this Talos from Taurus? Why is it a cow?"

Rhodes had read books about celestial magic and knew the names of the zodiac celestials, but he had no idea what they looked like.

It is said that they may change their appearance at the opinion of the holder.

Rhodes was quite critical of the cow with the big axe because after he came out, he didn't start fighting immediately, but kept staring at Lucy's chest.

It was only when he saw her wearing a thick cotton coat that he went to fight with a look of regret on his face.

This guy seems a little unreliable.

One Valken was entangled by Talos, while the other continued to chase Lucy.

At this time, three shadow wolves jumped out from the shadows of the mountain wall. Two ordinary wolves bit Valken's calves, causing him to fall. A two-headed wolf pounced on his back and bit his neck.

Lucy seemed startled, but was a bit surprised when Natsu came back.

Then he immediately became angry again, probably because he remembered how embarrassed he was to be seen by Rhodes just now.

After Natsu got serious, Valken was no match at all, and even Talos was mistaken for a monster by Natsu and punched back to the Celestial World.

Rhodes was somewhat disappointed with the performance of Talos, the most powerful star spirit among the twelve zodiac signs.

There are only twelve golden keys in the world. Can the summoned celestial spirits not withstand Natsu’s punch?
(The thirteenth sword is rarely known and is beyond Rhodes’ knowledge)

"The power of the Star Spirit will increase as the user's magic power increases, right?"

Rhodes recalled a piece of knowledge he had seen somewhere.

"That's right." Makarov said, "Lucy's performance was not satisfactory?"

"Well, maybe it's a little stronger than when I first learned how to summon the Canyon Scuttler." Rhodes felt that he could beat Lucy when he first got the Stone Beetle.

But what he was more concerned about was that the Protoss would become stronger as its user became stronger, but the wild monsters seemed to have not changed much so far.

Logically speaking, their strength should gradually increase as the game progresses. Is his progress now zero?

There are some minor changes in Macao's plot.

Attached is a little useless knowledge: As we all know, when receiving magic, the body will be dominated by the receiving target, so I have always suspected that Valken is not lustful himself, but became lustful after receiving Makao.
