Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash

Chapter 174 I... give up

"Don't panic, it may be the last burst, or the last gasp." Rhode said, "Let's hold on for a while, maybe it can't hold on."

The river crab ran wildly with the two people, but the shaking ground and the rolling stones from time to time brought a lot of trouble.

Kana gritted her teeth and used her last magic power to shoot a few flying cards, which exploded in the mouth and nose and wounds of the monster.

The monster looked more miserable, but obviously more angry.

While running, its tail hit the ground heavily, and the two peaks in front shook and collapsed, and huge rocks seemed to roll down from all directions.

If it weren't for the 360-degree vision of the river crab, it would have been impossible to avoid it in this situation.

Even so, the vibration of the ground seriously interfered with the river crab's actions, and a half-human-high stone hit the river crab's leg.

"Receive·Raybeak!"

Rhode's legs turned into long bird claws, grabbed Kana's shoulders and took her up.

The unicorn monster actually picked up a rock and threw it at the two.

Before the river crab disappeared, it provided Rhode with the necessary vision, allowing him to avoid two waves of sneak attacks from behind.

He flapped his wings and flew Kana far away. The monster was still chasing him, occasionally throwing a boulder.

"No..." Kana's eyes were dim, and she was going to fail again this time.

"I..." Rhode hesitated, "There are actually two last ways..."

Kana seemed to have grasped the last straw: "What way?"

"The first is to delay it a little longer and find a safe place to hide. Before dark, you may be able to accumulate enough magic power to summon the crimson mark tree monster once. To deal with a seriously injured unicorn monster, it should be..."

"No." Kana denied, "Your physical condition is already very poor. Exhausting magic power several times in a short period of time will have a very bad impact on your future."

If it was a life-and-death situation, she might not care so much, but this was just her exam.

Although it meant a lot to her, it would not work if Rhode sacrificed his future.

"The second way is, I'll find a chance to try to receive it."

"No!" Kana's objection became more resolute, "The enraged monster is more difficult to control than usual. Even if you are a genius in learning to receive magic, your current physical condition does not allow you to do so. You will lose control!"

It is very dangerous to lose control like Elfman did. He was lucky to recover. Rod may not be so lucky if he does it again.

Kana could not agree to this plan.

Rod hesitated. Although he didn't know why, he could feel that this exam was very important to Kana after spending some time with her.

As long as there is a chance, he still wants to try.

Although it is not safe to do so, but... Anyway, with the president and Erza as a backup, the situation should not be too bad.

Swish-pop!

A red flare rose into the air with a whistling sound, emitting a dazzling light.

"Kana?"

"That's enough, Rhode." Kana lowered her head, "You've done enough. It's my lack of practice... I'm not yet... qualified..."

Tears slid down Kana's cheeks and dripped onto the head of the unicorn below.

The unicorn looked up and saw a female knight in black armor: "Change to Black Feather Armor!"

Firing a flare means giving up the exam, and the task will be handed over to Erza.

Rhode took Kana to a clearing in the distance and put her down.

Kana fell to the ground, one hand supporting the ground, the other hand pounding the ground unwillingly.

Tears dripped down, she sobbed, and then cried bitterly.

Beside her was Rhode, who was at a loss, and behind her was Erza, who landed lightly after swinging a few swords, and the unicorn fell down wailing.

——

This is the third day after the S-level exam.

The topic of the exam has almost cooled down.

Wolian was disappointed for a day because he failed to pass, but now he and Marcus are chatting arm in arm again.

Mi Ji was also in a bad mood. She kept looking for fights for two consecutive days. It was probably a way for her to vent her emotions.

The president was also in a bad mood. He went to the Council branch yesterday and was criticized.

The reason was that the S-level exam destroyed a large area of ​​natural landscape and caused a certain panic to the passengers on the train passing through the Kroba Bridge not far away.

However, the clever president put all the responsibility on the unicorn monster.

The Council understood the ability and harm of the unicorn monster and affirmed their achievements in destroying the monster, so they did not pursue it, but did not commend them.

The president was slightly relieved because he did not ask him to write an extra self-criticism, and he was very satisfied.

The most uncomfortable ones were Kana and Rhodes.

One drank all day and was not sure if he was sober for an hour in three days.

The other lay at home all day. After arriving at the guild, in addition to completing daily work, he trained hard. When he was tired, he hid in an inconspicuous place to rest for a while and did not want to talk to people much.

Today, when Rhode wanted to sneak away again, someone grabbed the back of his clothes.

Turning back, he saw Mira's worried eyes.

Rhode didn't look her in the eye and forced a smile: "What's wrong? Oh, you want to help register the task, I'll..."

Mira didn't answer him, and whispered: "Will you sit with me for a while?"

"..." Rhode was silent for a few seconds and nodded gently.

Mira smiled, grabbed Rod's wrist, and pulled him to the counter to sit down.

She didn't rush to talk, but poured two drinks and put them down, then moved the stool that was a little far away to Rod's side, and then stroked the hem of her skirt behind her and sat on the stool.

They both put their arms on the table and held the cups at the same time, and moved a few centimeters apart at the same time after their elbows touched.

They looked a bit like elementary school students sitting at the same table, with only a "38th parallel" between them.

"Mira..." Rod hesitated and wanted to speak, but he didn't think about what to say.

Mira smiled and said, "Try the drink first, Mr. Cook's new recipe."

"Hmm." Rod took a sip, first noticing a little sour taste, and then the sweetness filled his entire mouth.

"How is it?"

"It tastes a bit like sea buckthorn juice, but it seems too sweet."

"Because of the extra sugar and other seasonings, the sour taste of sea buckthorn is only a little bit retained." Mira also took a sip and narrowed her eyes slightly.

"The sea buckthorn harvest season has not completely passed, so I bought a lot and asked Mr. Cook to make them into drinks."

Rhode hummed softly: "It tastes very good."

"Speaking of which, on the way to purchase that day..."

Mira didn't care about Rhode's response, but enthusiastically talked about what happened in the guild when Rhode was away, and what she encountered when she was out.

Rhode listened carefully, one by one, they were all ordinary little things.

Like who quarreled with whom, who fought with whom, which store sold ingredients that increased in price, which bargaining was particularly successful...

Mira probably knew the reason why Rhode was unhappy, but she didn't mention anything about the exam.

She just narrated the trivial things happening around her in an ordinary way, and laughed from time to time.

Rhode listened to her story and his mood gradually calmed down.

He sipped the juice, savoring the sourness and sweetness, quietly "watching" the guild and the residents in Mira's eyes.

When the drink in his cup was finished, Mira pushed her cup over.

When she saw Rhodes' surprised look, Mira turned her head away without leaving a trace: "It's too sweet. I feel like I'll get fat after drinking it."
