Chapter 164 I reflect on myself three times a day
Sometimes having more information is not necessarily a good thing, because it can affect one’s mood.
From the possibility of facing an S-class wizard to the almost certain facing of an S-class wizard, the pressure that Cana endured was completely different.
Because she had been beaten by two of the three people.
That is, Laxus was four years older than her and had passed the exam early, otherwise it might have been another setback.
Rhode was better off because he had been preparing for the worst from the beginning.
Now he just knew more about the three S-class wizards.
The powerful lightning wizard Laxus, the mysterious illusion wizard Mistgang, and Erza, who Cana least wanted to meet.
Erza is really versatile. She is good at both close combat and ranged attack. With the help of armor, she can use various elemental magic and even has different combination skills.
If you have to say, Erza is almost an all-round enhanced version of Kana.
If you want to fight her, Kana’s only advantage is that she has one more teammate – a teammate who was knocked down by Erza with one punch five months ago.
When thinking about this, Kana’s confidence will disappear a little bit.
“Although the opponents are all monsters, if you want to become an S-class wizard, you must have the determination to become a monster of the same level as them.”
Rhode tried his best to be optimistic in strategy, and encouraged his teammates, “Since you can take the exam, it means that you have the potential to stand with them.
Maybe you are still a little behind them now, but your companions will make up for the gap, and your companions will complete the point you can’t do.
I think this is the purpose of the president asking participants to choose partners, not just to test the degree of tacit understanding. This is also the most important concept of our guild.”
”Become… a monster like them… companions will make up…” Kana repeated Rhode’s words, and suddenly felt that she was not qualified to become S-class.
She never thought about how strong she wanted to become or what kind of monster she wanted to become. She just wanted to pass the exam so that she could call Gildarts “Dad”.
As for what it means to be an S-class wizard, she has never thought about it.
People like her…
”A real man!” Elfman was so excited that his eyes filled with tears. “Only when you become S-rank, you become a real man, Cana!”
Rod really hoped that when he talked about Lisanna, it would have such an immediate effect on Elfman.
Mira reminded: “Kana is a girl.”
And… is there any necessary connection between S-rank and manliness?
Elfman was stunned, and remembered that his sister was also S-rank, and added decisively: ”Sister is also a man!”
Mira kept smiling, and clenched her fists tightly – this brother can’t be kept.
But now, Cana is the most important thing.
Mira patted Cana’s back gently: “You were lectured by the newcomer, Cana.”
Newcomer? Cana looked at Rod. Yes, Rod had only joined for less than half a year, and she had been there for 11 years. Whether it was awareness or anything else, she should not be worse than the newcomer.
Rod has spent so much time on her request, so he can’t let his efforts go to waste.
Kana cheered up: “This time, we must defeat them and pass the exam!”
”Then let’s start practicing.” Rod said, “Let’s simulate fighting against Miji and Joey first.”
The opponents in the simulated battle are naturally Mira and Elfman.
Mira has some experience in close combat, so it’s no problem for her to play the role of Miji; Elfman’s fighting style is also similar to Joey.
Anyway, everyone is just sparring, not really fighting.
Many times, Rod and Kana pause after making a move, consider how the opponent will respond, and then Mira and Elfman stand in the corresponding position.
Then they do the opposite.
When it comes to simulating Mester and the king, the operation is similar, but Mester’s magic is difficult to deal with.
Everyone can only consider the position where the opponent teleports over, and help Kana plan how to set up the trap.
There is no need to say much about basic training. The three simulation battles roughly determined the battle plan for the encounter in the first level.
Starting from tomorrow, we must focus on improving magic power and thinking about how to deal with three S-levels.
Today is another fulfilling day.
After parting with everyone, Rod returned home, took a hot bath and lay comfortably on the bed.
The unscrupulous Rod drove Worm to turn off the lights and close his eyes.
A few minutes later, he suddenly opened his eyes and sat up: ”I examine myself three times a day. Have I been mentally controlled? Have my memories been tampered with? Am I myself?” Very good, no problem.
Rod lay down and continued to sleep.
Worm blinked in the dark. Is the master crazy? Will there be Poro delicacies to eat in the future?
…
In the intense practice and preparation for the exam, time passed quickly, and the exam day came in a blink of an eye.
It was already mid-December, and the weather was getting colder. Rod wore the same coat as Mira to show off at the guild.
Then he and Kana went to the station to meet.
Before leaving, he left his coat at the guild for Mira to keep, and changed into another set of winter clothes.
—— Going out for the exam means fighting, and fighting means getting hurt. It doesn’t matter if he gets hurt, but it would be painful if this coat gets damaged.
Mira felt angry and funny, so she could only help him put away his clothes and told him to be careful.
In fact, Rhode wanted to take a walk in the guild warehouse to relax.
But today, four extra locks were added to the door of the warehouse, and a “No Entry” sign was hung.
”The president is on the second floor.” Rhode sighed, feeling uneasy as he was forced to go out empty-handed.
He and Kana were the last group to go, while the others went directly to the station and stood there for a while, staring at each other.
Marcus wanted to talk to everyone, but Volian covered his mouth, worried that he would leak the secret plan.
Makarov counted the number of people, and after confirming that everything was correct, he waved his hand: “Everyone is here, get ready to go.”
Kana asked: “Aren’t you going to wait for Laxus and the others?”
”They have already left in advance, and there are some things that need to be arranged at the examination site.” Makarov said, “Any other questions, ask as soon as possible before departure.”
Rod raised his hand: “Can I go back and get some…”
”No, next one.” Makarov didn’t even listen. The things stored in the guild are not for you to use against your own people, and they are still during the exam.
”Huh.” Rod felt that the president was targeting him.
The S-level exam is so tense, it’s not enough to borrow a few crystal balls to relieve the pressure.
Mestre, who had been silent all this time, suddenly appeared at the door, hugged the door and took a few bites: “I want to know… I really want to know what the train tastes like…”
Rod’s head was full of question marks, what the hell? What’s wrong with him? ”Won’t this knock out your teeth?” said the muscular man Joey worriedly.
Just opening his mouth, three teeth fell out of his mouth, rolling down the platform.
”Joey, your teeth!” Mi Ji put her hands on her waist, “Really, this is a public place, can’t you change your bad habit of knocking out your teeth?”
Is losing teeth considered a ‘habit’?
“Hahaha…” Marcus seemed to have suddenly thought of a funny joke, “If all of Joey’s lost teeth are strung together, will they be enough to make a necklace? Will they be enough?”
Rod leaned over and whispered in Makarov’s ear: “President, are you really going to take these people on the train?”
In X783, Laxus was 22 years old, and Wallian was the same age as Laxus.
Bigusro of the Thunder Gods was 21, and Freed and Alba Green were 19 years old.
Nabu was 19 years old.
Erza, Mira, and Rod were 18 years old.
Kana, Gray, Natsu (?), Elfman, Alzac, Bisca, Jet, and Troy were all 17 years old.
Levy, Marcus, and Lisanna were 16 years old.
Wendy is 11 years old (?), Happy and Charlulu are 5 years old.
The president is 87 years old.
Gildarts is 44 years old.
Makao and Wakaba are 35 years old.
Lidas is 26 years old.
Loki’s age is unknown.
