Chapter 30 The Next Target
Chapter 30 The Next Target
”I can handle the rest myself.”
After he had taken care of the inconvenient places to apply medicine, Rhode didn’t feel comfortable asking Mira to help him all the time.
”Then I’ll go out first.” Mira put down the medicine bottle and tweezers, “You can rest for a while.”
”Well, thank you.”
Watching Mira leave, Rhode took off his T-shirt and applied medicine to the bruises in front of him bit by bit.
By the way, he also reviewed the battle with Natsu.
After today’s fight, in addition to leaving Rhode with a lot of pain, it also gave him a lot of gains.
First of all, he became a person who had fought seriously, which was very important. At least he would not be afraid before the battle when he heard that there was going to be a fight.
Then, he also learned some tricks to use magic defense.
Although it was a bit difficult to defend against Natsu’s punches with his current magic power, if he was fighting with an ordinary person, he could basically withstand the opponent’s punches and kicks.
When fighting with Natsu, Rod’s punches and kicks were basically imitating Natsu’s movements.
When Natsu punched in the face, he also punched in the face.
When Natsu elbowed his abdomen, he also elbowed his abdomen.
Of course, except for the two hits, Natsu did not use magic at all.
Thinking carefully, it seems that he deliberately left him a gap to attack during the hand-to-hand fight, and he did not do much dodging and defense.
So if we only talk about the number of hits and the number of hits, the two should not be much different.
But the final result was that Rod was lying on the ground in pain and could hardly get up.
And Natsu, like nothing happened, patted the dust off his body and carried Rod to the infirmary.
“Thinking about it, it feels like Natsu is deliberately serving as my sparring partner…”
Looking at the wounds on his body, Rod smiled helplessly, “I have to thank someone after getting beaten up, what a big deal.”
However, when he beat the river crab, it should be purely out of curiosity and itching.
By the way, the strange feeling when the river crab disappears should also be studied carefully.
After resting for a while in the infirmary, Rod got up and went to the front to help.
In addition to Mira and Laqi, there was another girl helping in the tavern.
She looked like a tomboy with her black hair from the front, but in fact, she had a long braid tied behind her head.
She was wearing a short red cheongsam, black knee-high socks on her legs, and the guild’s emblem was printed on the top of the socks.
Rod recognized her name as Sally, and the magic she used was the magic of changing clothes, but she was not as proficient as Erza, and she only changed weapons during battle.
It is said that she is best at using a pair of steel claws on her wrists… It is easy to imagine that they are melee type, and they are quite brutal.
Sally’s shifts are much less than Rhode’s. Being a waitress is really just a part-time job. The main source of income is to team up with three other friends to do tasks.
In addition to Sally, there is another girl named Izzy, whose situation is similar to her, but Rhode has only seen her once when he couldn’t speak, so he is not very familiar with her.
”Rhode? I heard everyone say that you had a fight with Natsu today.”
Sally held the plate in one hand, and the other hand flashed with a steel claw, and asked eagerly: “How about it, do you want to fight with me?”
Obviously, this is also a warmonger.
Rhode decisively refused: “Forgive me, my whole body is in pain now.”
”Sally, my wine!”
Someone saw Sally stop to chat and couldn’t help but urge her.
“So annoying, isn’t this sending you off?”
Well, this guy has a bad temper, so it’s better not to provoke him if you can.
Although he may not be that strong, it shouldn’t be a problem to beat Rhodes now. Rhodes looked around and finally went to the counter to wait.
At this time, Gray was leaning against the counter, with a task list on the table, waiting for Mira to register: “Hey, that guy Natsu, his punch is heavy enough, right?” ”Ah.” Rhodes smiled bitterly and touched the swollen part of his face, “Why can’t I see him?”
”I just accepted the task and went out to work with Happy.” Gray picked up the letter of entrustment returned to him by Mira and shook it at Rhodes, “I’m going to work too, see you later.”
Rhodes nodded: “Well, be careful on the road.”
Gray had just taken a few steps when Mira shouted at him: “Gray, clothes!”
Gray looked down and found that he was only left with a pair of large shorts: “When!”
Looking with a smileGray found his shirt and trousers, and Mira poured a glass of water for Rod: “Do you care about Natsu?”
”Yes, after all, I was ‘taken care of’ by him, a little…”
Rod held the water cup, but did not drink it, just staring at the gently shaking water inside, “It’s a bit awkward.”
It’s natural to feel uncomfortable after being beaten, but the other party held back and taught him fighting skills intentionally or unintentionally, so he should be grateful.
And judging from the appearance of Natsu, he should be younger than himself, which is a bit awkward.
Rod found that he would be a little entangled, like to think about things, and it is difficult for him to be as ‘straightforward’ as everyone else.
From this point, he would consider whether he would be out of place and excluded.
Then he would despise himself again, how old he is, and still thinking about these things.
Besides, others are so sincere, and I always feel sorry for them for thinking about these messy things…
Looking at Rhode’s changing expression, Mira could only guess that he was unwilling to accept the defeat:
”It’s only been a few days since I learned magic. It’s already amazing to have such a level. If you keep going like this, maybe you can do some ordinary work next month.”
”That’s right, let’s practice hard first.” Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe it’s just that I’m not used to fighting for the first time.
Rhode looked at the people laughing in the tavern, “Who should I ask for next time?”
A boy with split hair, that is, Marcus who talked a lot in the morning, came into view.
Go and ask for a try. —— Working, practicing, and tasting the exquisite cooking skills of the guild chef, it was another fulfilling day.
After returning home, Rhode really did as Lucky said, smashing the wooden box without a mouth before taking out the magazine inside.
Soshara is a weekly magazine, and what Laqi gave Rhode is a yearly magazine, plus some supplements and special issues, about sixty in total.
Sixty magazines were neatly stacked on the table, more than a pound thick.
”It’s a pity to waste such a perfect box… Do you want it to be your nest?”
Rhode showed Worm the wooden box with one side smashed open.
The box is not big, but it is enough to hold a Poro.
However, Worm did not like this nest, and shook his head and retreated to the bottom of the bed.
”Forget it, I haven’t cleaned the bottom of the bed carefully yet, don’t get covered in dust.”
Rhode threw the broken wooden box to the fireplace and kept it as firewood. It was another day of envying the convenience of modeling magic.
He took out Feng Yong’s glasses and quickly browsed the contents of the magazine.
”The Ruler of Phantom…”
This is one of the two most famous wizard guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore, the other one is naturally Fairy Tail.
However, Fairy Tail was silent for quite a long time, and its reputation has only grown in recent years.
Rod read this news in a weekly magazine that focused on Phantom.
If we only talk about the scale and number of people, Phantom is much larger than Fairy Tail, because in addition to the headquarters, Phantom has more than 20 branches with many members.
”It’s the name Phantom, which sounds so much like a dark guild…”
After seeing several of Phantom’s signature wizards and some accidents they caused, Rhode’s doubts were slightly dispelled.
This guild is no worse than Fairy Tail in terms of chaos.
