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

Chapter 357 Replenishing Mira's Energy

The review work of the Council is somewhat cumbersome. After each person has been questioned once, they will be called over several times.

Sometimes it was to corroborate the testimonies of companions, sometimes it was to corroborate the testimonies of ghosts, and sometimes there was news coming from the Council Headquarters and they hoped to obtain some necessary testimony.

Insufficient testimony and evidence will be supplemented, and discrepancies will be re-checked.

The repeated investigation and questioning lasted for a whole week.

Rod felt that it was a bit long, but seeing that Lahar and the others were working at full capacity, he couldn't complain.

Fortunately it's all over.

Laharl announced that the investigation and evidence collection were complete and all members of Fairy Tail could go home.

Only Makarov may need to go to the Council again in a few days, when the final judgment will be officially issued.

Things like compensation will also be announced at that time.

Joseph woke up three days ago, but he is still having trouble moving around. This time he will be taken directly back to the Council, and it may be difficult for him to get out again.

Rhode looked at him from a distance and felt that this man would be useless even if he was released. It wasn't that his injuries were too severe, but that there was no light in his eyes.

Being defeated by a group of people he considers to be weaklings and ants may become a shadow in his life. If he cannot get over it, his magic power will probably decline.

It is easy to say that he wants to step out of the shadows. He just needs to admit that Fairy Tail is very strong and that he and his guild have taken the wrong path.

But this was almost impossible for Joseph.

In addition to Joseph, some ordinary members who were stubborn were also taken away, as well as Alia and Thor from the Four Elements, and the Iron Dragon Gajeel.

Those who refuse to admit their mistakes and show no remorse will be taken away for a few days for education. If they behave well, they will be released. If they continue to behave worse, they will be sentenced to a short prison term.

As expected, the ruler of the Phantom was forcibly disbanded, and the members of the headquarters and branches were dismissed together.

Since the main responsibility lies with Joseph, ordinary members like them will basically not be punished as long as they admit their mistakes and have a good attitude.

The only loss is that I have to pay for the medical expenses myself, and I will need to find another way to make a living afterwards.

Makarov generously suggested that if they didn't know where to go, they could just come to Fairy Tail.

But hundreds of people didn't want to.

A small number of people didn't even want to be magicians anymore after this incident and planned to start some small business.

Most of them were beaten too badly, and although they were moved by Makarov's tolerance, they could not let it go immediately.

Instead of joining Fairy Tail, they would rather try some small guilds.

Originally, they joined Spectre for the title of number one guild in Fiore, but now think that it is not so easy to stay in the number one guild.

There are many monsters in the guild, and the enemies of the guild may also be more terrifying monsters. They think that perhaps a small guild would be easier.

During the seven-day review period, the news of the battle between Fairy Tail and Phantom Flame had already spread throughout the country.

The detailed process has not been circulated yet, but rumors are flying all over the place. What everyone knows now is that the headquarters of the two guilds have been destroyed, both presidents have fallen, and even the reason for the war is unclear.

Many civilians are worried about this. The Kingdom of Fiore has been peaceful for a long time, and they don’t know whether such a vicious incident will affect their lives.

This situation should ease in a few days when the Council's decision is officially announced.

However, before that, the former Phantom members who had the honor of witnessing Joseph being knocked down leaked the news first. Although Joseph was defeated by everyone's combined efforts, Mira, Erza, Rhodes and Natsu, who launched the final round of attacks, gained a lot of reputation.

When more detailed news spread, Rhodes's name as the fairy military strategist was known and recognized by more people.

They themselves were not very clear about these things, because as soon as they left the Council camp, everyone immediately began to prepare for the reconstruction of the guild.

The first thing to do is to organize and transfer important information. This will be led by the president, and the girls such as Levi, Lucy, and Lacy will be in charge (Erza and Cana are excluded from the girls).

Erza was responsible for leading people to dismantle the old guild, sort out the usable materials, and sell or throw away the useless ones.

Natsu, Gray, and Elfman are particularly active in these matters.

Mira and Rhodes were naturally responsible for purchasing necessary building materials such as stone and wood. Although Laqi could provide some wood, it was not good to squeeze too much.

In addition, the two of them also need to hire some reliable craftsmen and ask professionals to revise the design drawings of the new guild.

The president and Lidas each drew a set of paintings these days, but one is too abstract and the other is too artistic, and I feel they cannot be used to guide construction.

After running around for most of the day, Rhodes stopped and looked at the shopping list: "The only thing missing is paint, I can buy it later... Hey, I think we passed by a hardware store just now?"

Mira shook her head: "That store is too expensive, let's go to West Street to buy it." She calculated and opened five fingers to Rhodes, "You can save almost this amount."

Mira looked adorable as she calculated carefully, and Rod grabbed the little hand that was waving in front of him.

It was a white hand with neatly trimmed nails and thin-looking fingers. No one would have thought that this little hand could split mountains and rocks.

Rhode's fingertips gently stroked a blood scab on the back of her hand: "Does it still hurt?"

Mira smiled and said, "It doesn't hurt anymore, it just itched a little these past two days." Then she became a little distressed, "I don't know if it will leave scars."

"It doesn't matter. I like her even if she has scars all over her body." Rhodes put her hand to his lips and kissed it. The scabby part was hard, but the skin next to it was just as delicate.

Mira pulled her hand out and patted him gently: “You are the one covered in scars!”

"If you're really concerned, you can go find Wendy. She's good at using magic to remove scars. But Xia Lulu might dislike you..."

Rhode acted as if he was ready to die. "It doesn't matter. I'll ask for it first. At worst, I can just hold her thigh and beg her.

"Please, Wendy, Xia Lulu, as long as you can cure Mira, I will do anything!" How about I say this? Otherwise, add one more sentence..."

Mira said angrily: "What are you adding? It's not as exaggerated as you say."

She smiled, and any little worry she had in her heart disappeared.

Then Rod hugged her: "Okay, now it's your turn to charge me."

"Charge?"

"It's probably equivalent to replenishing the magic power of the magic crystal." Rhode gently sniffed the fragrance on her hair, "I'm short of 'Mira Energy' and I need to replenish it urgently."

"Okay, okay~" Mira also hugged him.

After a while she asked, "How long will you hold me?"

"Let's start with a hundred years."
