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

Chapter 49: Magic Swamp Frog

There is another small expense this month.

Although studying food was Mr. Cook's hobby, Rhodes felt embarrassed not to pay for the materials at all.

However, Worm also gained the power to enter and leave the kitchen at will when Mr. Cook was not busy.

The prerequisite is that it does not mess with things in the kitchen.

This is the 12th day that Rhodes has been learning the magic of three-dimensional writing.

After the mission recommended by Mira, the atmosphere among the Lane Engine Team eased somewhat, and they soon agreed to go out to work together next time.

Whenever Rebby had free time, she would come to tutor Rod, and Jet and Troy would occasionally come to watch the fun.

However, the past two weeks of study have made Rhodes realize how important "compatibility" is.

At first he was able to use summoning magic almost immediately, but his results in learning three-dimensional text magic were far from satisfactory.

When the same FIRE is written, what Levi releases is a raging flame, while what Rod releases is probably a torch.

When writing the same word "WATER", Leibi releases a large amount of clean water, which has a good impact, while Rod releases only enough to wash his face.

Forget about using this level of skills for combat, but Rhodes plans to learn a few more words that can create light, wind, and the like.

At least life will be much more convenient. You don’t need to turn on the light when you go to the toilet at night, and you don’t need to bring a fire when you go out for a picnic.

congratulations.

In contrast, the progress of summoning magic is as stable as ever.

This time, Rhodes felt that there were new wild monsters that could be summoned, and just like before, he asked the president to help keep an eye on them.

The results confirmed one thing: it is right to be more cautious.

"Answer my call, frog!"

The magic power that could summon nearly four river crabs was drained away by the pendant, and a huge brown toad appeared in the backyard of the guild.

The appearance of this toad can be described as ugly.

It has a huge body that can swallow a person in one bite, and there are several purple mushrooms growing on its back. You can tell at a glance that it is definitely poisonous.

"Quack~~" Along with the loud croaking sounds of frogs, the ground under the feet of the magic swamp frog turned purple.

The next second, Rhodes felt himself being grabbed by a big hand and his body quickly retreated.

The president then appeared in front of him, slapped the ground with one hand, and a golden light was emitted.

The magic frog and the land beneath its feet were surrounded by a golden magic circle, and golden spells rose from the bottom to form a protective shield.

The frog seemed to want to jump, but Rhode gave it a 'don't move' command to calm it down.

"President, what is this?"

"It's venom. This will prevent it from spreading further." The president looked at the purple ground and said seriously, "Will it obey your orders like other monsters?"

"That should be possible." Rhode could feel the connection between the frog and himself. "Raise your left front paw."

The magic frog raised its claws.

"Move left one step."

The frog did as he was told.

"Scream."

"Qua~"

"It seems there is no problem." The president said, "Then is there any way to take back the venom?"

Rhodes ordered: "Take back the venom."

no response.

Rhode thought for a moment and said, "Eliminate the poison on the ground?"

The magic frog stepped back slightly, opened its mouth, and took a bite of soil. It wanted to vomit but didn't dare to, and looked at Rhodes eagerly.

Ah, Rhodes suddenly thought this toad was quite cute.

After getting the president's approval, Rhodes said, "Spit it out, gently."

The president looked at it and found that the venom in the soil that was vomited out seemed to have been neutralized or partially absorbed. Moreover, the toad did not pollute new land when it retreated just now.

"Hmm..." Makarov thought for a moment and said, "Don't summon it in the guild for now."

"Okay." Rhodes nodded and waved his hand to send the Frog back to Summoner's Rift.

Makarov was very pleased. It was great that Rod was a steady kid.

"President, what should we do with this land?"

"I'll ask Polyusicaa to help me think of a solution. If I can make an antidote, I'll give you some to keep with you, just in case."

In fact, the simplest method is to scrape the ground and bury it deep.

But we have to consider the long-term and can't always prevent Rhodes from summoning it.

"President, can you take me to visit Ms. Polyusica? I haven't thanked her properly for what happened before."

There was no way to communicate when she first woke up. After she learned the common language, the old lady had already gone home and I haven't seen her come to the guild since then.

Rhodes did ask Mira about the address of the lady, but was told that Ms. Polyusica did not like to be disturbed. If he went there without any business, she might beat him out with a broom.

Preparing the antidote should be considered as serious business, right?

"It's okay to go together. She might want to see your... Magic Swamp Frog."

Makarov waved his hand, and with a flash of light, his casual clothes were changed into formal clothes.

Rhode had to admit that he was impressed by the old man's handsomeness: "President, this costume-changing magic is so cool!"

"Hehe..." The president smiled like an old child, "How about it, do you want to learn?"

"Yes, yes, yes! Uh... I must learn a set when I have time!"

Dressing up and transforming is the romance of a magical girl... no, it's the romance of a wizard!

Makarov was very pleased that the child finally had some pursuits besides becoming stronger.

He took a glass to collect some poison-contaminated soil, used magic to protect himself, and called out, "Let's go."

This was the first time I walked on the street with the president - if the time he carried me back didn't count.

"Are you used to being in the guild?"

"Fortunately, everyone is a very nice person. They take good care of me and teach me a lot."

Rhodes ignored the two rude S-class wizards and everything was fine for now.

Just as Makarov smiled, Rhodes continued:

"Except that it's sometimes very noisy, with unknown objects thrown past my ears, and people often breaking things that are hard to clean up...there's not much to complain about."

Makarov covered his chest, feeling a little hurt: "If you want to learn the common language, follow Mira or Levy, don't learn how Erza speaks."

Erza is like this, she lists everyone's faults one after another, and then says, "I don't want to talk about you today."

"Ah, President, I was just joking, don't mind it!" Rhodes was afraid of angering the old man, so he hurriedly said, "It's good to have some fun in the guild."

He tried to change the subject: "By the way, President, Ms. Polyusica lives in the Eastern Forest, right? Do you want to take a river crab there?"

Makarov looked at the busy streets and said, "Let's wait until we are out of the city. Don't cause trouble for everyone."

"Oh... please wait a moment, I want to buy something!"

Rod ran to the fruit stand and came back a few minutes later with a bag of apples and a bag of peaches.

It would be bad to come empty-handed when visiting someone for the first time.

Makarov smiled and said nothing.

……

"This is where I found you."

After the two rode into the forest on river crabs and walked for a distance, Makarov pointed to an open space.

Rod didn't have much impression of this place, and he thought everything in the forest looked the same.

Even if I hadn't encountered that strange beast, I would probably have gotten lost and fainted from hunger here.
