Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash

Rhodes' answer made Mira very happy.

She put the letter away and said she wanted to think about it.

As for the magazines, they were placed on the counter. She remembered that Rhodes liked reading the news.

After the New Year, the guild resumed normal operations and Rhodes returned to normal training.

…

On the third day after that, a boy with glasses who looked young came to the guild.

He has a small round face, a crew cut, and carries a big schoolbag. He looks very well-behaved.

After he came in, he looked around and walked through the noisy pub to the front desk.

Mira greeted: "Hello, do you have a commission to publish?"

"No, my name is Tono, Tono Rabitz. I just turned 15 this year. I use light magic."

Tono introduced himself in an organized manner and then said, "I want to join the guild."

"So that's it, hello, I'm Mirajane." Mira said, "Please wait a moment, I'll go find the president."

"Please take a seat." Rhodes was responsible for receiving the newcomers after Mira left. "My name is Rhodes. I joined the guild half a year ago. I can be considered a newcomer. Please don't be restrained."

"I know you, the strongest newcomer, right?" Tono said happily, "I have been paying attention to the news about Fairy Tail."

"Really, haha, that news article was scrawled by a reporter. Maybe you will be the strongest newcomer when you come. Well, do you want something to drink?"

Rhodes felt that this child, who had been paying attention to the news about Fairy Tail and still liked it here, must be true love.

Tuono sat on the stool and said honestly: "Just plain water, thank you."

Rhodes poured a glass of water for Tono, and the president and Mira came over.

Tono's membership process was as simple as Rhodes'. The president stamped him with the guild's coat of arms after asking a few basic questions.

This was the first time for Rhodes to witness a new member join the guild, and it felt... a bit strange.

"Having witnessed new people joining, am I considered a senior mage?"

Makarov looked at him and said nothing.

Senior magician?

It’s just that the amount of tasks has changed from the second to last to the third to last.

Mira is a good flatterer: "So Rhodes wants to try to guide the newcomers?"

This seemed interesting, so Rhodes asked, "Can I do it?"

Just in case, Makarov asked, "What are you going to teach him?"

Rhodes looked at Mira and smiled: "Just like when Mira took me, help him get familiar with the process from receiving the task to meeting the client, and then completing the task."

Tuono was a little happy. It turned out that joining the guild would be guided by a senior magician, and he was also the strongest newcomer, so he felt very reliable.

Rhodes thought for a moment and then added: "I can also impart some personal experience, such as..."

"Okay, I've decided. Let Rebby guide Tono." Makarov said decisively, "You just said you like history, right?"

"That's true, but Senior Rhodes..."

Makarov said: "Don't worry about him, he doesn't get along well with you."

Rhodes felt offended.

Mira covered her mouth and smiled. The president was afraid that the newcomer brought out by Rhodes would run around carrying the exploding magic crystal, right?

She patted Rod's back to express comfort, and then said to Tono: "Come with me, I will take you to find Lebby."

Makarov said: "Don't look at me like this, there may be a mission for you in a few days."

"Give it to me? What task should you leave to me?" Rhodes thought for a moment, couldn't it be something related to the Senate?

Those people are a bit of a trap.

"The details are still uncertain, and we have to wait for further information." Makarov said, "In short, try not to travel far in the past two days."

"Okay." Rhodes felt a little unsure.

Makarov knew his temper and comforted him: "Don't worry, if you really want to go, I will help you find a reliable person to form a team."

Rhodes was even more unsure. The president was helping him find teammates in advance. Doesn't that mean that this task is particularly troublesome?

Makarov shook his head and left with his hands behind his back. He still had a review to write.

That idiot Natsu went out to catch a few thieves and demolished seven houses. The summons from the Council of Ministers had already arrived before he came back.

Headache.

When Mira came back, she saw a sad-looking Rhodes.

"What's wrong? Did the president say something?"

"No, it's just that there might be a big problem for me."

Mira smiled and said: "Because the president trusts you very much."

"Trust me, but won't let me bring in new people."

"Well, well..." Mira didn't know what to say. In fact, she thought it would be good to hand over the newcomer to Rhodes.

"Hey, let's not mention it." Rhodes asked, "Didn't Lebby go out to work? Why did the president ask Tono to follow her?"

"Lebby just came back today. You were in the backyard so you didn't see it." Mira said,

"Actually, they encountered an accident during their mission. Now Jet is hospitalized and Troy is taking care of him."

"So serious?" Rhodes frowned, "What happened?"

Mira said with some sympathy:

"It seems that Jet wanted to show off, and then accidentally fell into a trap used by hunters to capture wild beasts. As a result, Rebby and Troy had to protect him while completing their work."

"..." It's hard for Rhodes to comment on this matter. As the saying goes, if you want to show your face, you end up showing your buttocks.

"Shall I go to the hospital to see him?"

"It's better not to go. Levi said Jet doesn't want everyone to see him embarrassed."

Mira said with a smile, "If you must go, remember to bring Lydus with you."

"..."Miss Mira, you've exposed your devilish nature.

"By the way, how have you considered that matter?"

"I will go to Sosara's branch the day after tomorrow. The president hopes that I can restore the positive image of Fairy Tail a little bit."

Mira smiled. She knew that it was Natsu's incident that made the president a little anxious, so she decided to do something.

Rhode originally planned to go with Mira.

But he couldn't wait until the day after tomorrow. He was called over by the president with a serious face the next morning.

Besides Mira, who looked worried, there was also... Erza.

Rhode immediately felt that it was not good. He was going to team up with Erza? Is it such a big deal?

Makarov said seriously: "This mission is a bit dangerous. If you think it is difficult after listening to me, you can choose to refuse."

Rod glanced at Erza and guessed: "S-level mission?"

Makarov shook his head: "It is not enough to be directly rated as S-level, but if it is not rated as S-level, it will be very difficult for others, and there may be life-threatening."

Erza said: "It is worth your seriousness. It must be an important mission. You tell me."

Rod nodded. Knowing the danger, he still asked them to come. It should be the kind of thing that must be dealt with, right?

Makarov said slowly: "A black magic cult called 'Shadow of the Devil' appeared near the north coast of the kingdom, believing in the black magician Zeref.

They kidnapped children in nearby villages and towns, intending to use them as sacrifices to summon the demon Kanib in the Book of Zeref. This time the mission is to arrest the black magic cult and rescue the innocent children.

Because the enemy may have dangerous black magic such as bone breaking, blood transformation, and curse, and if their action of summoning demons succeeds, the danger of the mission may rise to S-level or above, so Erza is needed.

Because we have to fight and protect the children, I am worried that Erza will not have enough energy alone, so... Rod is the most suitable person."

Useless small details: Tono's shoes, Makao's vest, and Makao's son Romeo's vest all have an S logo on them, which should be the same brand of clothing.
