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

Chapter 84 Wild Monster Soul

"Are you sure you want to accept it?" Makarov looked at the big green crab in front of him, "It will take over its body."

"Well, I want to give it a try." Rhodes nodded.
“Even if it was received, as long as it is ‘released’ within a certain period of time, it will be fine, right?
I have mastered the method of 'release'."

When he first learned how to ride a bicycle, Rod had the painful experience of only being able to ride but not getting off, and had to rely on hitting the wall to stop.

Later, I learned a lesson. If you want to learn how to skateboard, you must first learn how to stop. If you want to learn how to drive, you must first ask how to brake...

I was excited when I learned summoning before, so I learned how to force close the door later. Now that I’m learning to receive, I naturally can’t make the same mistake.

Makarov frowned, thinking that Rhodes was a trustworthy kid:
"If you're sure there's no problem, let's get started."

"Okay." Rhodes put a hand on the crab's head, "Be good and don't resist."

He closed his eyes, controlled the "fluctuation" of the magic power in his body, and tried to conform to the state described in the book.

At some point, Rhodes opened his eyes: "Receive!"

Blue magic light poured out from Rhodes' hand, completely enveloping the Canyon Swift Crab.

Then, spots of light flashed on Rhodes' body, and finally golden light enveloped him.

The golden light lasted for a very short time. When it dissipated, Rhodes felt that a large part of the magic power in his body had been drained away.
Then, nothing happens.

He could see his confused self through the perspective of the river crab.

Makarov said, "Failed, concentrate."

"Failure to receive also consumes so much magic power?" Rhodes felt sad. This meant he would have one less chance to practice in the morning.

"Of course, any magic that reaches this stage, regardless of whether it succeeds or not, will have its magic power consumed."

Makarov asked, "Why did you lose focus at the last moment?"

"Because...I'm worried about becoming too ugly."

Rhodes was a little nervous, as there were differences between the magics he received.

Some people become exactly what they receive.

Some people take themselves as the main body and then add some characteristics of the receiving target.

Rhodes... really doesn't want to turn into a crab and crawl around.

"If you're worried about that, don't learn reception magic." Makarov said.
“Believe in your heart first, and then it will respond to you with ‘miracles’.

But remember, it's not a 'miracle', it's just your mind, and magic is the power of the mind."

"Believe in yourself, believe in your heart." Rhodes tried to ask himself, what did he want most?
First of all, he is strong, and secondly, he is handsome.

If you are strong enough, it doesn’t matter if you are not handsome, because as long as you defeat the enemy, you will naturally be the handsomest.

But how good can it be to accept a river crab?
No, no, river crabs also have their own strengths.

Moreover, the strength of the received magic is not only affected by the receiving target, but also largely depends on the user's own magic power.

If the president uses receiving magic, even if he receives an ordinary rabbit, he can kick most of the guild members away one by one.

believe……

"take over!"

Spots of light lit up, a golden light flashed, the river crab disappeared from the spot, and Rhodes' appearance changed dramatically!
The hands, feet, body, and even the head are covered with a layer of hard shell, as if wearing a suit of green armor.

There is a pair of upright tentacles on the head, and the face seems to be wearing a mask, with a faint yellow light emitting from the eyes.

There is a thick carapace on the chest, and the hand armor extends from the fingers to the forearms, appearing particularly stout.

These were all what Rhodes saw himself. After receiving the river crab, he gained a unique 360-degree field of vision and could see his entire appearance without a mirror.

"This, Mozi? Jingui Jiro? Armor Hero Xiangshuai?"

After seeing himself clearly, Rhode immediately thought of three characters with similar colors to himself. He suddenly thought that this green armor was quite handsome.

He knocked his chest and arms with his fists, and the hardness seemed pretty good.

Makarov put one hand behind his back and raised the other hand in front of him with a sword pointing upward, as if he was ready to stop Rod if he went berserk.

"President, I'm fine."

Makarov lowered his arm: "That's good, how do you feel?"

Rhodes moved his hands and feet a few times and felt that they were more flexible than usual.

He raised his right hand, and the light spots on the nail flickered, turning into a crab claw. A powerful force could be felt between its opening and closing.

Rhodes tried to move his legs again, and he immediately jumped out at a speed much faster than usual.

Moreover, as soon as he thought about it, he used the skill of River Crab, and it seemed that he left a trail of afterimages behind him as he ran.

"Is this Ghost Sprint?" Rhodes was distracted and crashed into the yard wall with a bang and rushed out.

The location seems to be the same place that was knocked open when the river crab was summoned last time.

It was fate, and Rhodes was pleasantly surprised to find that he didn't feel any pain at all after crashing into the wall.

"Rod!"

"I'll fix it!"

Rhode's voice drifted in the wind. He had already run to the lake behind the guild:

Swim, dive, or even stand on the lake!

Accepting a river crab will automatically grant you water combat proficiency!
Speaking of river crabs...

Rhodes concentrated his mind and sensed the situation in Summoner's Rift through the pendant.

In the upper and lower river channels, one river crab was patrolling back and forth in the upper river channel, while the other one did not disappear, but entered a dormant state, with its body diving underwater, leaving a pair of tentacles sticking out of the water.

This made Rhode confused. He had agreed to take away the opponent's body magic, but was he actually taking away the refresh time?

He moved around in the lake for a while to get familiar with the magic, then returned to the yard and unlocked the receiving magic in front of the president.

Thankfully, there was no situation like Qita's where her clothes were torn.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

"No, it's just that the magic power consumption is very high. It feels more than summoning two river crabs at the same time."

"That's also a flaw in receiving magic. If you work hard to improve your magic power and get familiar with that state, it will be improved a little."

Makarov thought for a moment and then asked, "How about the crab?"

Rhode checked the situation in Summoner's Rift. There was a river crab patrolling the upper and lower rivers. "It has recovered."

"That's good." Makarov didn't say it, but he was obviously still a little bothered by this way of accepting his fighting partner.

"But President..." Rhodes said in confusion, "I just lifted the receiving magic and haven't performed the 'release' step yet."

"What? How is this possible..." Makarov said in surprise, "Could it be that there is a third river crab in the Summoner's Rift you mentioned?"

"This shouldn't be the case..." Rhodes saw with his own eyes the dormant river crab jump out from underwater.

Could it be that a new one has been refreshed?
Makarov thought for a moment: "So, can you still use receiving magic now?"

Rhodes closed his eyes and opened them after a moment: "Receive!"

A familiar spot of light appeared, and Rhodes transformed again.
