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

Chapter 96 Rhodes' Rules

Natsu was overjoyed. He didn't know since when, Laxus spent less and less time in the guild, and it was impossible to find him even if he wanted to.

Even when she came to the guild, she would always rest on the second floor by herself and would not pay any attention to his challenges.

We finally caught him today, and he agreed!
"Okay, let's start, I'm excited!" Natsu turned and left.

Alba Green snapped her folding fan shut and pointed at Natsu's back and asked:
"What are you doing? Are you going to run away before it even starts? You really know how strong Laxus is, but you are just lip service to the challenge and don't dare to fight at all?"

"Huh?" Natsu turned around and asked in confusion, "What are you talking about? If we're dueling, shouldn't we go to the backyard?"

Bigusro was puzzled and asked, "When did the guild have such a rule?"

His little puppets flew up and down, repeating: "When, when? Rules, rules..."

Rhode pressed his temple. "This guy is so noisy, and the emblem is printed on his tongue..."

Mira said: "That is Bigusro's magic of summoning spirits. He can control those puppets to fight. If ordinary people encounter him, they will be knocked down before they can get close to him."

"The magic of seance is also used for cloth, right?"

"Well, but Nabu is 'animal spirit possession', and Bigusro is 'possession of dolls'. Although it is the same kind of magic, the methods of use are completely different."

Magic is free and you can choose to use it in the way you like. Rhodes has a little more experience.

Hearing the word "rules", Freed seemed to have triggered a key word and said seriously:
"If there are such rules, then we should abide by them because rules are absolute."

But Natsu just did it subconsciously. Now he was confused and turned to look at the others:
"By the way, is there such a rule in the guild?"

Two voices rang out at the same time: "How can there be such a rule! (Of course there is!)"

The onlookers immediately split into two groups. One group believed that fighting should be done wherever one wanted.

The other group thinks that it doesn’t matter where the fight takes place, but challenges and duels should be held in the backyard.

They themselves can't remember when they came up with this idea.

The culprit of the incident, Mr. Luo, was still unaware: "Is there one?"

Mira snickered: “Do you feel that people who think there are such rules are very familiar?”

Rhodes looked carefully, hmm...they were all challenged by him.

Ah? My rules?
"I'm just afraid of breaking things in the pub..."

Some things always become the "rules" of convention for no apparent reason, such as the rock-paper-scissors game, the palm and back of the hand, and the selection of soldiers and generals...

"Are there more boring things in this guild?" Laxus felt troubled and pushed back his coat.

Fred naturally took the coat, adjusted it and put it on his arm, like a...

Rhodes rubbed his eyes and confirmed with Mira: "Fried, is it a man?"

"Of course." Mira said, "But he is not good at socializing. He may only appear in the guild a little more often than Mistgang. No one knows him very well."

Another weirdo, weird in every sense of the word.

Laxus extended a hand and gave Natsu a gentle hook: "Go ahead, Natsu, I don't need such a spacious place to deal with you."

"Don't look down on me, I've become much stronger!" Natsu didn't bother to move and rushed forward, "Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

Laxus stood still and grabbed Natsu's wrist, "Oh? Are you really getting stronger?"

Jet was surprised, "He caught Natsu's fist so easily!"

Troy said, "That's Laxus."

Levi was a little uneasy and leaned back, hitting the back of her head on the hard chest armor, "Erza?"

I feel safe.

Erza watched the battle carefully:

After Natsu's fist was caught, he immediately kicked, but Laxus easily blocked it and threw Natsu away with his backhand.

Natsu flipped in the air, and after landing, he rushed forward again, punching and kicking continuously. Although all of them were blocked, Erza nodded with satisfaction: "Yeah, Natsu has really become stronger."

"Where's his strength? Isn't he completely suppressed?" Gray felt that the fight took so long not because Natsu was strong, but because Laxus was not serious at all.

Happy ran to Kana and said, "We've changed our minds. Let's bet on Laxus to win."

Kana refused: "No, it's closed."

"Why is this happening?" Happy had no choice but to turn around and said, "Come on, Natsu!"

Loki smiled and said, "Is this what you need to do to cheer for Natsu?"

"man!"

Laxus once again pushed Natsu back, with a hint of golden lightning on his arm, "It's a bit disappointing if it's only this level."

"Hee... Really strong!" Natsu laughed instead. He took a deep breath, "Roar of the Fire Dragon!"

The crowd quickly retreated. They were all experienced wizards who watched the excitement and would not be affected by this.

But the floor and tables, chairs and benches were not so lucky. Some were burnt, and some were blown away.

Rod felt distressed when he saw this. This is why I have to fight outside.

Laxus just stood there motionless, hugging his arms and letting the flames engulf him.

Natsu wiped the corner of his mouth and said excitedly: "How about this move? Laxus!"

Laxus waved his hand, and a flash of lightning flashed around him, and the flames disappeared: "Ah? What's going on?"

Then he dusted off his clothes again: "Forget it, I'm tired of it."

A golden lightning appeared out of nowhere and enveloped Natsu.

"Wow ah ah..."

Natsu screamed and Laxus turned to leave, with Freed ready to hand over his clothes.

But Natsu's voice came: "It's not over yet!"

The lightning dissipated, and even though smoke was coming out of his body, Natsu still had a smile on his face: "I am no longer a brat that can be easily knocked down by you!"

"Oh?" Laxus looked at Natsu who was rushing towards him and forced a somewhat cold smile, "It seems that he can still move a little bit."

"Fire dragon's... poof!"

Natsu was hit hard in the abdomen, followed by the face, chest, back...

Fists and kicks with lightning kept landing on Natsu, leaving him unable to fight back.

Bang!
With one final blow, Natsu fell to the ground.

Laxus stretched his neck a few times and said, "You are worthy of praise for your endurance. Are you still unwilling to admit defeat?"

"It's... still early..." Natsu staggered to his feet again.

"It's about time that this clingy fellow understood the difference in power!"

Laxus raised his right fist, astonishing magic power burst out from his body, and lightning gathered on him.

Erza felt something was wrong and couldn't help but want to stop it: "Laxus!"

But she was a step too late. The terrifying lightning enveloped Natsu, and the light was so blinding that people could not see Natsu's figure clearly.

"Ah ah ah ah..."

"Natsu!" Happy was frightened this time, tears welled up in the corners of his eyes.

However, Natsu's screams did not last long. Instead, the lightning quickly dimmed and was finally sucked into Natsu's mouth like water.

"What?!" Even Laxus couldn't control himself and showed a surprised expression.
