Chapter 26: A knife hanging over your head
Chapter 26: A knife hanging over your head
”Not bad, but…”
Eluza took two steps forward and jumped up, stepping on the head of the river crab, and flew directly over the river crab to Rhodes.
”The best way to deal with this type of wizard is to attack the wizard himself!”
”Ah?” As a person who had hardly ever fought, Rhodes watched Erza rushing towards him, at a loss.
He only saw the sword in Erza’s hand disappear, her right hand clenched into a fist, and then her forehead hurt, her eyes went black, and she fell on her back.
Eluza landed lightly and faced Rhodes: “Come on, attack with all your strength!”
”No, no…” Mira walked aside with the medicine box and waved her hand with a smile, “I can’t stand up anymore.”
”It’s true!” The onlookers were a little surprised at the speed of the river crab’s advance just now, but they were not surprised by the result.
Because even if they were replaced, they would not necessarily be stronger than Rhode.
It is not easy to judge Rhode’s strength in this way. Erza should be considered to have messed up.
”For a newcomer who has just learned magic, his magic power level is quite good and he is also very skilled in magic, but his practical experience… is almost zero.”
Makarov can see clearly that Rhode has the potential to become the backbone of the guild. As for practical experience…
As long as he stays in the guild, this is the only thing he will never lack.
…
”Gray, help me.” Mira opened a small bag in front of Gray.
”Hmm? OK.” Gray clenched his right fist and pressed it against the palm of his left hand, “Ice shape·Ice bag.”
The ice-blue magic light lit up, and the bag in Mira’s hand was quickly filled with ice cubes.
”It’s over, it’s embarrassing…” Rhode was sitting on the round stool in front of the counter and doubting his life.
“Rod, raise your head.”
Rod did it subconsciously, and something cold fell on his forehead.
”Hiss~~” Rod’s eyes looked up, and it seemed to be an ice pack, which was carefully wrapped with a towel.
Mira lowered her head behind him and met Rod’s eyes, smiling and said: “Don’t move, a little cold compress will reduce the swelling faster.”
”Thank you.” Rod reached out to hold the ice pack.
Mira saw his disappointment and said, “It’s not shameful to lose to Erza. After all, she is one of the strongest people in the guild.”
”But I chanted such a long chant and summoned such a cool crab, but she knocked me down with one move, and she used her fists, not even a sword!”
Mira tilted her head: “Do you want her to use a sword? Erza is the kind of person who hardly knows how to show mercy in battle.”
Rod thought of the bloody scene: “That… it’s not necessary.”
Bang! Someone put a heavy object on the counter.
Rod turned his head and looked over with the ice pack, then sat up straight involuntarily: “Miss Erza…?”
”Just call me Erza. Then I want to apologize to you.” Erza put her left fist on her chest with a regretful expression,
”I’m sorry, I was too harsh. I was so harsh on my companion who asked for a sparring match. I was so mean. I was simply bullying the newcomers in the guild!”
Rod was shocked by her serious attitude and waved his hands hurriedly: “No, not to that extent.”
”No, your tolerance will only highlight my evil deeds.” Erza opened the big box she placed on the counter, and the pile of things inside rolled out in bits and pieces.
A quick look showed that there were various medical supplies such as bandages, Band-Aids, iodine, painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.
“I have bought all the trauma medicines in the pharmacy. Please feel free to use them!”
”No, I just have a bump on my head. It hurts a little.”
”Really? What I did caused you such a headache. Please let me find a way to make it up to you.”
Did I say the wrong common language again? Rhodes looked at Mira for help.
Mira was enjoying watching the fun and explained: ”Erusa’s personality is like this. She will be a little serious. If you don’t accept the medicine, she will bandage it for you personally~”
Before Rhodes spoke, Erza had already realized: “So that’s it. Only by bandaging it in person can I express my apology!”
”Really…”
”Change clothes!”
The light flashed, and Erza had finished changing clothes.The nurse’s uniform perfectly showed off her good figure.
”Oh~oh~oh~” A wolf howled in the tavern, and many men’s eyes turned into hearts.
After being used to seeing Erza in armor, she suddenly realized when she saw the nurse’s uniform that, apart from her frighteningly high combat power, Erza’s appearance was also first-class.
If she wasn’t afraid of being beaten, old perverts like Wakaba and Makao would have come up to her.
”Okay, let’s start bandaging!” Erza picked up a roll of bandages.
”Really… that, uh, don’t need it…”
Rod’s heart beat uncontrollably, and it took less than a second for him to change from opposition to half-hearted acceptance.
Watching Erza unwrapping the bandage, Rhode began to condemn himself for not being firm, but soon regretted it…
”Ahhh!!!”
Erza’s dressing was as professional as her technique, and she used a roll of bandage to make it look like a rope.
Normally, for a minor injury like Rhode’s, he would just apply some swelling-reducing medicine to the swollen area, or wrap it a few times to be exaggerated.
But Erza’s bandage somehow wrapped around Rhode’s neck, tied up his arms, and then wrapped around his legs…
It was completely like tying up a prisoner!
”Murder… cough cough cough…”
Rhode was strangled to the point of being unable to breathe, but some people in the tavern seemed to be more excited, looking at Rhode with envy.
”Stop, Erza. Rhode is going to die!”
It was actually the first time Mira saw Erza treating someone, and she didn’t expect her to be so cruel.
Fortunately, she helped stop him before he rolled his eyes.
Eluza apologized solemnly: “Sorry, my healing skills are a little rusty.”
But you are very skilled in killing people.
Rod was so moved that his eyes were filled with tears: “No, you are excellent. Thanks to your treatment, my forehead doesn’t hurt much anymore.”
”Really?” Erza’s eyes sparkled.
Rod nodded seriously: “Absolutely true, thank you for your treatment! The rest is up to my recovery power!”
He was sure that his forehead didn’t hurt much if compared with his arm.
Rod felt that he was about to break a bone. Is the bandage so strong that it can almost break a person’s bones? ”That’s great.” Erza may have believed it, and changed back to the armor with satisfaction, leaving the big box of trauma medicine behind and leaving.
Rod rubbed his arm and looked at the ceiling, reflecting on himself: “Lust is like a knife above your head.”
After this ordeal, his soul will grow up.
Mira covered her mouth and laughed.
