Chapter 5 Is Tatsuya a wizard?
”Solved.” Hibiki said to Makarov, “President Makarov, I’ll go back first.”
”Ah, thank you for your hard work.” Makarov said, “I will make up the commission later and send it to the Blue Pegasus together with the commission fee.”
Rod hurriedly said: “Thank you for saving my life, President, and thank you Mr. Hibiki for your help. I am moved!”
Mirajane covered her mouth and chuckled: “What kind of expression is that? Is Rod going to become like Lucky? Very interesting.”
Makarov looked at Hibiki, his eyes seemed to ask what was going on.
“Ah, well… it takes some time to digest the knowledge that was stuffed into my head.”
Hippy said embarrassedly, “So he may not be able to express himself clearly recently.
Just help correct it a little bit, or wait until my magic improves a little bit before doing it again?”
”No… no need! Please allow me to decline!”
Rod said he didn’t want to experience the splitting headache again. Knowledge is something that is more reliable if you learn it yourself.
It’s definitely not because he’s afraid of pain.
Makarov nodded: “That’s it, the commission ends here.”
Mirajin sent Hibiki away, and Rhodes was stopped by Makarov: “Rhodes, right? Did Mira tell you the general situation?”
”Well, because of the language problem, I only understood part of it.” Rhodes said, “You rescued me from the forest, right?”
Makarov said: “No, to be precise, I just brought you back from the forest.”
Rhodes showed a puzzled expression: “The beast that attacked me…wasn’t it defeated by you?”
Makarov was not in the mood to correct Rhodes’ words for the time being, and sat cross-legged on the chair beside the bed – he was even taller when sitting than standing.
Rhodes felt that it was not polite to look down at the old man, so he sat down obediently by the bed.
Makarov said slowly: “Actually, I went there because someone witnessed monsters going berserk, including strange birds, giant frogs, evil wolves… and even dragons.”
”The mayor believes that if a large group of monsters appear in the eastern forest, it will affect the safety of the entire Magnolia City, so he entrusted me to investigate.”
Actually, the reason why Makarov went to investigate in person was mainly because Polyusica lived in that forest, and he was a little worried.
”But when I got there, there was only a dead body of a boar, a severely damaged forest, and you lying on the ground.”
The more Rhodes listened, the more frightened he became. He felt that he was so lucky to survive in that situation.
Maybe he should thank the… boar that knocked him away? What a strange name.
Makarov asked, “What do you remember about the beasts?”
Rod shook his head, “I don’t remember any of this, but I seemed to hear a lot of strange noises before I fainted. The forest was very quiet before.”
Makarov nodded, so the beasts’ rampage should have happened before and after he fainted. Or… it was simply a beast tide caused by something Rod did carelessly.
”So, why did you go to the forest?”
”I… don’t know.” Rod was tangled, ”You may not believe it, but I just fell down, and when I got up, I was in the forest.”
”Is that so.” Makarov was thoughtful, and suddenly moved from one place to another. He knew several such cases.
For example, Polyusica, who had previously treated Rod, suddenly appeared decades ago. According to her, she came from a world called Edras.
There is also Natsu, who suddenly appeared nearby 6 years ago. At that time, he could speak but could not read, but claimed that he had learned to read.
Rod’s language barrier seems to be more similar to Natsu.
And when Natsu appeared, he was looking for a dragon, and when Rod appeared, there was a legend of a dragon. These two people may have some connection.
Makarov guessed that these two people might have been affected by the space magic of a powerful wizard in other continents and directly transferred here.
”I have a general understanding of the situation.”
Rod looked at him in surprise: “You believe it so easily?”
”Why not?” Makarov looked into his eyes, “II am a little confident in distinguishing whether young people are lying or not. ”
“But…” Rod realized, oh, yes, this is a magical world. It doesn’t seem strange for someone like me to suddenly appear like this? Makarov asked: “So what are your plans next?” “I… have nowhere to go for the time being.” Rod has been thinking about it for two days, and staying here should be the best choice now.
If he goes out now, he is worried that he will encounter some pigs, bears, pigs and tigers again, and he will die if he is unlucky.
But the fairy tail should be full of magicians, and ordinary people like himself…
In order to survive safely, Rod could only bite the bullet and ask: “Can I stay?”
“Of course.”
So casual! Rod looked at the old man in front of him, without any hesitation?
“You don’t even know my origins.”
Makarov asked: “Are you willing to tell me? “I…” Rod hesitated, he didn’t know where to start. “Then tell me when you have figured out what to say.” Makarov smiled kindly, “There are many homeless children in the guild, some of whom can’t even explain where they came from. They were as uneasy as you were at that time.” “But it doesn’t matter. It is precisely because of the insecurity that we need companions, and there will be a guild.” “Everyone supports each other in order to survive strongly and regards each other as family. This is the guild, this is Fairy Tail. ”
Makarov told Rhodes about his views on the guild, his eyes seemed to be shining.
For the first time, Rhodes learned about the purpose of Fairy Tail, which was different from the mission guilds he knew in games and anime.
Fairy Tail seemed to be more than just an agency, but a warmer place.
…
The process of joining the guild was very simple.
Makarov took Rhodes to the front to find Mira and added Rhodes’ name to the list of members.
”This is Magnolia City, located in the east of the Kingdom of Fiore, with a population of about 60,000. It has been a city where magic has prevailed since ancient times.”
”Fairy Tail is the only formal guild in this city. Then there is this…”
Since Rhodes was extremely lacking in common sense about this place, Mirajane had to start with the geographical location.
When she talked about Fairy Tail, she took out something like a seal and asked Rhodes to choose a favorite color and the location of the emblem.
Rhodes rolled up his sleeves and asked Mirajane to help him stamp the blue emblem on his left arm.
The process was as simple as stamping.
Rhodes touched the position of the emblem and felt that it was no different from the previous touch. It seemed to be another magical magic: “This shouldn’t fade, right?”
”Of course not.” Mirajane put away the seal and explained,
”This emblem represents the wizard of Fairy Tail, and it can be used to prove your identity no matter where you are.”
”Wizard…” Rhodes covered his arm and asked nervously, “But I don’t understand magic at all, what should I do? Will I be kicked out?”
”How is that possible? If you want, just start learning from now on. “Mirajane said, “It’s just that it was a bit difficult to find a commission that could be completed at first.”
”You don’t understand magic?” Makarov pointed at Rhodes’ chest, “Isn’t that your magic prop?”
”Huh?” Rhodes picked up his necklace pendant and looked at it. It was a capital letter L, with a blue circle with a gold border below. If you look closely, there are mysterious patterns inside.
”You said this is a magic prop? It can’t be?”
This thing is the software icon of a 5V5 competitive game. It was a gift from Rhodes’ roommate Zhang Daye on his birthday.
Although it looks very delicate and should not be cheap, it is just an ordinary pendant…
Could it be that Tatsuya, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, is actually a magician?
