Chapter 171 The mountain… collapsed
Erusa looked worried: “President, Laxus…”
”It’s okay, I’ll talk to him later.” Makarov shook his head gently, then smiled at Kana and Rhode, “First of all, congratulations on passing the second level!”
”President, what is the next level?”
Kana’s excitement has passed, and now she is a little worried.
If the next level is still the same difficulty, it will be difficult for her and Rhode to cope with it in their current state.
Makarov smiled and said, “Don’t worry, go to the camp to rest first.”
It’s certainly a good thing to rest before the third exam begins.
The two followed the president’s footsteps to the camp. Of course, Kana could still walk by herself, and Rhode was basically carried by Erza.
”By the way, the others…”
Boom! Rhodes was about to ask about the situation of other teams when he heard a loud noise behind him.
The ground shook, and before Rhodes could turn around, Erza had already carried him, dragged Cana and ran to a safe place with the president.
When he was put down by Erza, he saw the collapse of the mountain wall that he had just cracked.
Then, the crack spread from the mountain to the ground, connecting to the big pit that Laxus stepped on when he was beaten, and all the way to the opposite mountain wall.
So, the pair of peaks that formed the wonder of the sky collapsed and became a low mountain of rocks.
Makarov opened his mouth wide, and he looked like he was going to be petrified: “I remember that this examination room was specially reinforced with earth magic before the exam…”
Erusa thought for a moment and said: “It may be because Rod’s summoned beasts were drilling around in the mountain and underground.
And the floating cannons created when receiving magic pulled out the stones in the mountain, plus the punch that hit the mountain wall, and the aftermath of the battle with Laxus…
It should be that these factors combined together to produce a chain reaction, causing the magic to reinforce the mountain to fail.”
”This… do I have to pay for it?” Rod was embarrassed, as if he had accidentally caused trouble.
But he didn’t punch the mountain because he wanted to cover Kana’s figure. It was part of his strategy…
Makarov sighed: “I don’t need to pay compensation, but for making such a commotion near the railway… I probably have to write a letter of apology.”
He was even glad that he moved a few kilometers north when choosing the examination venue.
In short, it’s good that it didn’t affect the railway. Fortunately, fortunately.
Next year’s S-level exam should be held in their own territory.
Although it’s also painful to break it, at least there’s no need to write a letter of apology, right?
And the children will always be more restrained in their own territory. At least Rhode, who is so sensible, will definitely… right?
Makarov rubbed his forehead, hoping that Rhode would not be led astray by others in the next year.
Rhode looked at the president’s actions thoughtfully. Could the old man’s hairline be rubbed out like this? Being the hairline of these problem children… No, being the president is not easy.
The temporary camp built specifically for the exam is located in a slightly open area not far from the exam site.
A simple tent was set up in the middle of the site. Wallian and Marcus were lying inside. There were fires in front and behind the tent for warmth.
Miji, Joey and Wang Qiangji were setting up a pot to prepare to cook.
Looking at the bandages wrapped around the arms of Miji and Joey and the ointment on their foreheads, Wallian and Marcus seemed to be quite shady.
The simple chopping board rack next to it had been set up. The president brought quite a lot of things when he went out.
That’s not right. Rhode remembered that he had seen Erza’s luggage cart in the guild and suspected that she brought all of these. Cana counted the number of people and asked, “Where are Mistergan and Mester?”
”Mistergan has something else to do, so he went back early.” Makarov said, “Mester said he wanted to look around and would go back later.”
He knew that stupid kid Mester wanted to take the opportunity to investigate Fairy Tail’s “handle”, so as long as it didn’t interfere with the exam, let him go.
”Are you cooking? I’ll help too!” Erza suddenly got excited and pushed Rhodes towards Cana, “Change clothes!”
Wolian and Marcus, who were lying in the tent, sat up all of a sudden and shouted in horror, “Don’t change clothes! Don’t change clothes! We give up!”
Kana helped Rhodes sit over and asked, “You”We met Erza?”
Wolian was relieved when he saw Erza was only dressed as a cook: “Yeah, it was terrible.”
Marcus pointed at the bandages on himself and Volian: “We really lost to her. We were taught a lesson.”
”I can see it.” Rhodes lay down and asked, “So Mester and Wang met Mistergang? Did they pass?”
Speaking of other unlucky guys, Marcus was not sleepy anymore: “Their performance was even worse. It seems that they fell asleep at the beginning of the exam and were sent to the camp by Mistergang. ”
With teleportation magic, how could you not pass this kind of exam where you have to grab a flag and enter the battle array?
Rod suspected that Mistgang was not abiding by martial ethics. He hypnotized the whole audience immediately after explaining the rules. Or he simply used illusion to make a false flag or something.
Kana and Rod looked at each other. Fortunately, they did not encounter Mistgang, otherwise they might not know how they lost.
”Hahaha, looking at it this way, we are not that bad.” Wallian was happy, “We at least fought Erza for several rounds.”
Being beaten is also part of the battle.
Rod said rudely: “But Mest and the others are not injured.”
Walian said angrily: “Damn it, how dare you say such things! You were beaten more badly by Laxus, right?”
”But we passed. ”
”Ahhh…” Volian held his head in despair. He thought Laxus might have let him win. “Why are we the only ones who met a female knight who didn’t know how to hold back!”
Erusa seemed to hear someone talking about her from behind. When she turned around and saw Volian, she raised her thumb with the hand holding the kitchen knife: “You are still far from it!”
Volian lay down. He was tired. He would not come next time.
Unless he can make more progress next year.
Rod laughed and chatted with them. He felt that his body was not so tired.
After resting for a while, Cana suddenly said without thinking: “Thank you, Rod.”
”Huh?” Rod smiled bitterly. “It’s better not to thank me in a hurry. I may not be able to help much in the third level. Sorry. ”
The three wolves and six birds, two groups of highly functional wild monsters, have been killed and have not been refreshed yet.
His own condition is also very bad, and it is hard to say how much he can recover before the exam.
If there is a search content later, he can try hard to get a shadow wolf to help smell the smell.
But if there is a battle content, he may not be able to provide much help.
”Don’t say that.” Kana shook her head gently, “No one will do better than you. In the next level, I will work hard on my own.”
The aroma of food wafted over, and Erza waved the spoon in her hand: “Over there, it’s time to eat!”
Happy meeting, safe return (End of this chapter)
