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

Chapter 302: Writing Novels is Dangerous
Leibi has always been interested in tasks related to books.

However, just for retrieving a book, one could get 20 J, which was an abnormally high reward, so Lebi hesitated for a day.

As a result, I learned today that he was picked up and his salary was increased to 200 million.

This made Leibi feel a little...fortunate.

Although she was unwilling, tasks with such high pay were generally beyond her capabilities.

It is hard to say what the consequences will be if you accept it rashly.

Mira encouraged: "Find another suitable one."

Loki had already hidden in the corner, quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and slipped away when no one was paying attention.

Lucy, the real celestial wizard, is fine, but why is Rhodes, the fake celestial wizard, shouting about the Gate of Leo?

I feel like it's becoming increasingly difficult to stay in the guild.

"Here, two beers!"

"Here I am..." Rhodes handed over two glasses of wine, "Macao? You're here to drink before your injury is fully healed?"

"This kind of injury is a piece of cake!"

"How could he be so injured just by fighting Valken, and still have the nerve to brag?" Wakaba blew out a puff of smoke, slapped the table and laughed, "Macao is such a loser!"

Rhode glanced at him. You were the one with the ugliest expression when there was no news about Macao. How did you know that you were also the one who mocked him the most after he was fine?
"What did you say? 18, I defeated 18!" Makao stood up and leaned forward, "If it were you, the maximum would be 17! No, 16!"

Wakaba also stood up and put his forehead against his. "I have at least 19, no, 20!"

"16!"

"20! Don't think I'll let you go just because you're hurt!"

"15! Don't think you can beat me just because I'm injured!"

"21!"

"14!"

"Is this some new kind of auction?" Rhodes was too lazy to care about them and felt that there would be no fight today.

……

Three days flew by.

"Partially received·Mountain Dragon's Claw!"

Rhodes moved his dragon claws to adjust a little, then clenched his fist and smashed it on the ground: "Fist of the Mountain!"

Bang!
With his fist as the center, the ground rumbled and a crack extended from the center of the guild courtyard to the door.

Rhodes was not satisfied, so he adjusted his force and punched again.

This time the extension distance was shorter, but the effect was that spider-web-like cracks appeared on the ground centered on the fist, and the soil and rocks beneath the ground were also shattered by this punch.

"It feels a bit out of place, is this considered a strange power?"

Rhodes carefully checked the wall. Although it was not broken, this kind of moves was indeed not suitable for practicing in the yard.

"Repair the ground... Full body reception: Mountain Dragon!"

"Earth magic... Feel the magic of earth, the power of the earth, unite!"

The broken ground came together again, but a calf-high mound of earth was formed.

The cracks caused by the first punch also gathered together and formed a ridge.

"It's still easy to overdo it." Rhodes shook his head and cancelled the receiving magic. It was time to go to work.

It's not too tiring just to absorb it throughout your body.

As soon as Rod entered the room, he saw Lucy complaining to Mira about not getting paid:
"Lucy, you're back? Where are Natsu and Happy?" "Over there." Lucy pointed weakly. Natsu and Happy were fooling around in the tavern as if nothing had happened.

Lucy was somewhat devastated because she didn't get paid for her first official mission.

"What happened?" Rhodes sat next to Mira naturally.

Mira prepared a towel and water for him.

"Actually..." Lucy recounted the mission.

It turns out that the client, Kabi Munro, is the son of the famous novelist Kem Sareou (Renqua Munro).

The mission this time was to clear the stain on his father's writing career.

——Kem Sareo was once imprisoned by Duke Aybar for three years and was asked to write a novel with Duke Aybar as the protagonist.

Then he wrote the book DAY BREAK.

After being sent home, he claimed that he had written a bad book, so he cut off the hand that held the pen and died of depression shortly afterwards.

Kirby considered the existence of the book an insult to his father and wanted to burn it.

But Lucy unlocked the magic hidden in the book and rearranged all the words, and "DAY BREAK" became "DEAR KABY".

The content also changed from a bad story to a letter written to his son, and the book was accepted by Kirby, who believed it was his father's best work.

"That's it, because the client increased the reward and changed the request from 'get the book' to 'destroy' the book.

Then Natsu said that since the mission was not completed without destroying the book, he could not accept the reward for the guild's reputation.

Two million! Although Lucy could understand Natsu's behavior, she still felt heartbroken.

"I've seen a work by Kem Sareo, and I didn't expect him to go through something like this."

While supplementing his common sense, Rod also did not forget to learn some literary works. Although he did not read enough books, he had read some works of famous writers.

"Writing novels is a dangerous profession. If you are not careful, you may be locked up by readers and asked to finish your manuscripts. If you can't finish your manuscript, you won't be paid."

"That kind of thing is an extreme case!" Lucy felt sympathetic. In fact, she was also secretly writing a novel...I hope she won't encounter such a crazy person in the future?
"I hope so." Rhodes asked again, "How is the Duke doing? Illegal imprisonment does not seem to be within the privileges of the nobility, right?"

"We have collected some evidence for Mr. Kirby. The Shiloh City Government intends to investigate him, and because he is a wizard, the Council will also intervene."

Lucy and Natsu did a great job of wrapping up things.

Lucy was a little frustrated: "My first job..."

Mira comforted him, "Although I didn't get paid, Lucy got to read the best works first, isn't that great?"

"That's what I mean." Lucy felt honored to be able to witness this great work full of love.
"But I want to ask you for the secret after I complete the mission, Miss Mira."

"What's the secret?"

"That's the secret of Mr. Rhodes's strength. Happy said that Mr. Rhodes gave it to Miss Mira for safekeeping."

Rhode wondered, "I have a secret to becoming stronger? How come I don't know about it?"

"Did they lie to me?!" Lucy wanted to settle the score with them.

Mira thought for a moment and said, "If I must say, it really is true."

"what? What?"

"Wait a minute." Mira rummaged around and took out three pieces of paper, "These are it."

Lucy eagerly took it and looked at it: "Push-ups, sit-ups, meditation, long-distance running, practicing magic...what is this?"

"Rod's training schedule. There is the original version, the later extreme training version, and the later revised version. They are all here."

"But... the first one can still be considered difficult, but the second and third ones... this intensity will kill people, right?"
