158. Chapter 157 S-level exam list announced
Chapter 157 S-level exam list announced
After drinking coffee, the two went to buy the pile of things Mira mentioned.
It was just an ordinary shopping and purchasing. Nothing special happened, and no special people were met.
Rod felt that this was good.
Mira turned her head and looked at him: “Why are you smiling so happily?”
”I think it will be very comfortable to use a heater in winter.”
Mira didn’t believe it: “You’re lying.”
”Hmm.” Rod smiled, “Then guess?”
Mira thought for a while: “I won’t guess.”
Rod felt that she had guessed it all and continued to laugh.
Mira wanted to kick him.
Looking at the two people who pushed the door in with a bunch of things, talking and laughing, Macao felt a bit like a newlywed couple going out to buy daily necessities for their new home.
When he was dating his girlfriend, now his ex-wife, he seemed to have gone through such a stage.
It’s a pity that they parted ways in the end.
Wakaba, who was sitting opposite him, blew out a puff of smoke: “Why do you suddenly show that expression? It’s disgusting.”
”Who are you talking about, asshole!” Makao slapped the table and stood up, then sat down again as if he was deflated.
Wakaba had just rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight, but he almost sprained his waist: “Hey, what do you want?”
Macao said sadly: “I feel a little lonely after being divorced for a long time, and suddenly I want to find a girlfriend.”
Wakaba advised: “Romeo is 5 years old, don’t mess around.”
Macao looked at him strangely: “What does it have to do with Romeo’s age that I want to find a girlfriend? I’m not looking for Romeo… Oh? Are you jealous that it’s more convenient for me to be single?”
”Who would be jealous of you, a drunkard full of alcohol!”
”What did you say? An old smoker!”
Bang bang bang!
After Rhodes and Mira finished packing their things, they leaned against the counter to watch the fight: “Even if most people are not here, this guild can still be noisy.”
…
The peaceful days always pass quickly, and it was the end of November in the blink of an eye.
Since that day, Rhode seemed to be busier than usual.
Every day, in addition to completing the work at the tavern, he also had to take some small tasks during his break time.
Including but not limited to finding lost items, delivering goods, catching vicious dogs that hurt people, dealing with rat infestations, etc.
Everyone thinks that it is not easy to show their abilities in such small things, so there has been a backlog recently.
Rhode usually dislikes their low pay, and it is better to practice in the guild than to take tasks.
It’s just that who told him to be short of money, so he had to do it as a part-time job.
But doing these things is not without benefits.
Since these tasks often require running around the streets, he is now more familiar with the terrain of Magnolia, and he will definitely not suffer any losses if there is a need for street fighting in the future.
And because of his efforts, many residents in the city now know that Fairy Tail has a reliable wizard who “will not demolish the granary when exterminating rats.”
Most importantly, because he efficiently handles the backlog of tasks, Mira’s favorability has increased by one.
“The economic crisis is over!” Rod handed in the last task in the plan, threw himself on the counter, his face was deformed by the desktop, and he looked relieved.
”Thank you for your hard work.” Mira put away the task list and poured him a glass of water.
Rod stood up: “It’s not hard, the salary will be paid in a few days, and the days are getting more and more promising.”
Laki reminded: “But the rent is about to be paid.”
”You can say such cruel words after I am happy for a while.” Rod saw Laqi’s smirk and said unhappily, “And my rent has been reduced to only 60,000 J, which is half cheaper than yours.”
Now it was Laqi’s turn to be indignant: “Damn it! Why did you meet such a good landlord?”
”Oh? Laqi said the landlord is not good. I took note and will tell Qi Ke later.”
(Qi Ke is the daughter of the landlord of the girls’ dormitory.) ”I didn’t say that! And it’s shameful to tell on others!” Laqi said angrily, “Sister Mira, don’t just laugh, come and condemn him!”
Mira smiled and said, “I also think Rod is too much. He just paid 40,000 J less than Laqi, not half of it.”
”That’s not the point!” Laqi suddenly remembered that the two were in the same group.
After arguing and laughing until the evening, Rod stillThe siblings trained together.
”Has Elfman become stronger recently?” Rhodes rubbed his forearm.
He felt that Elfman’s fists were getting heavier, both in normal state and after using receiving magic.
Even if he blocked it, it still hurt.
However, he couldn’t tell whether it was a personal grudge or Elfman’s magic power had become stronger. Elfman showed off his muscles: “That’s because… a man!”
Asking him was a waste of time, Rhodes looked at Mira.
”My magic power has become stronger.” Mira thought for a moment and said, “Rhodes, have you become stronger?”
”I should have only become a little stronger.”
Just a little bit.
…
On December 8, X783, light snow fell over Magnolia.
On that day, Rhodes and Elfman went to the tailor shop to retrieve two coats.
When Rod and Mira put on coats of the same color and matching style, Elfman finally realized Rod’s “conspiracy”.
”You guys, did you plan it?”
”What are you talking about? I’m just a poor man who has no money to buy winter clothes and can only go hunting and ask tailors for help.”
”…”Who are you kidding? That tailor shop is so expensive, and the labor cost is not cheaper than buying an ordinary winter coat.
”Don’t be like this, Elfman. Sister likes the clothes you gave me very much.” Mira smiled, “How about I give you one in a few days?”
”No need, sister, I have enough clothes.” I always feel that sister will go shopping with Rod to buy clothes for him.
Elfman wanted to go to the snow mountain to hunt another Labang and came back.
Mira just tried it and took it off and put it away when she felt it fit. The guild replaced the new heater, which was still very warm.
Rhode also took it off and discussed with her whether to print a guild emblem on the back, or on the chest.
There are more and more people in the guild. The members who were always in a hurry a while ago gathered together today, and the number of people was comparable to that of the Harvest Festival.
People as leisurely as Rodmira and Elfman were in the minority, and most people were so nervous that they stamped their feet.
Because today is the day to announce the candidates for the S-level exam.
Pop! With a sound similar to a hand-held firework tube, a large flag with the guild logo was unfolded on the attic on the second floor, and colorful ribbons fluttered down.
Everyone looked in the direction of the flag, and President Makarov stood up.
Behind him was Erza with a serious face, Mistgang with a mask on his face, and Laxus with a slightly frivolous expression.
There was a small commotion in the crowd. It was rare to see three S-class wizards and the president standing together.
When the crowd quieted down, Makarov said loudly: “According to the ancient rules of Fairy Tail, I will announce the participants of the S-class wizard upgrade exam next.”
”There are four participants this year, the first one is…Kana Alberona!”
”Good!” Kana was a little happy, but she was a little disappointed that she didn’t see Gildarts.
“The second one is Meister Glade!”
”It’s Meister, he was chosen as expected.”
”The third one is Miki Chikintag!”
The members of the Million Dead Youth Squad were happy for their captain: “Great, Captain Miki!”
”The fourth one is Volian Laco!”
Volian was a little surprised: “I was chosen!?”
(The list is not made up casually, the author explained it at the end) Except for Kana, the rest of the list can only be guessed based on a few words. The reasoning is as follows: In the comics, after announcing the candidates for the S-level exam, Lucy said: I didn’t expect that both Nazgre and Elfman were taking the challenge for the first time.
So they have nothing to do this time.
Arzak said: He was not chosen this time either.
It means he has no chance this year.
Jet and Troy said: Great, Levi was finally chosen.
So it’s also the first time for Levi, so she has nothing to do this year.
When Meester was included in the list, someone said: It was a pity for Meester last year.
According to this, he should have participated this year, and it is also possible that everyone’s memory was tampered with.
Personally, I think he may have really participated, but he confused himself and everyone else by playing Mission Impossible. The president must not have forgotten him, so he took him this year.
Gray saidOne sentence: The threshold is so high this year. It is speculated that the threshold in 783 may be slightly lower. In addition, the setting says that Volian is a person who can handle high-difficulty commissions alone; in the civil war, Miji is a person who can fight four people with fighting skills, and the setting says that her team is the backbone of the guild;
So it is reasonable to let Volian and Miji participate.
As for Fried, the president said something during the civil war: Is Fried’s technique so strong? It is speculated that he does not know Fried well enough, so he is probably not qualified this time. The other two Thunder Gods are also more lonely now, so the situation is the same.
Macao and Wakaba are definitely qualified, but they are too lazy to participate.
The others are almost there.
