Fairy Tail: I want to summon Baron Nash

Erza seemed to have something to do and left the tavern directly.

Then... Natsu resurrected with full health: "Let's show off, Roddy!"

"It's Rhodes." Rhodes corrected, and then added, "You saw it just now, I'm very weak, I was knocked down with one punch."

The blue kitten rushed to say, "It doesn't matter. When Natsu challenged Erza before, he was defeated with one punch."

"You talk too much, Habi! I am different from before. What I say now will definitely..."

Hubby covered his mouth and muttered softly: "I can definitely hold on to a few more punches."

"What did you say!?" Natsu stared, as if he wanted to fight with Happy first.

Habi flew behind Mira and stuck his head out: "Love!"

Mira didn't say anything, just wiping the newly washed wine glass with a dry cloth.

"Anyway, come and fight me, that crab of yours looks pretty strong!"

"Well..." Rhodes thought for a while, "Tomorrow, I need to take a rest."

Mainly because he didn't want to get beaten for the second or third time today, and he was still hurting now.

"Then it's agreed!" Natsu left angrily.

But Habi didn't leave in a hurry. He stood on the counter and asked Rhodes, "Are you a magician who uses summoning magic?"

Rhodes nodded: "Yes."

Hubby started drooling at the corner of his mouth: "Then can you summon fish?"

Rhodes silently took stock of the types of wild monsters: "Probably not, at most it's a toad."

"Lost..." Habi suddenly squatted in the corner, and the whole cat was shrouded in shadow.

"...Is fish so important?" Rhodes couldn't laugh or cry. Besides, even if he could summon fish, they would only be used for combat, so it was impossible to feed him.

Hubby raised his fist: "Fish is the supreme delicacy!"

"Yes, yes." Rod didn't want to argue with the cat about whether the fish was delicious.

Worm really liked Harpy, who was similar in size to him, so he leaned over to nuzzle him, and the two cute creatures soon started playing together.

…

In the evening, Leibby came to the guild and chose a mission on the bulletin board with Jet and Troy, and then came to see Rhodes to learn Chinese characters.

"Today I will teach you two slightly more complicated Chinese characters, the character for fist and the character for pain."

Rhodes borrowed Lebby's light pen and wrote the two words one stroke at a time, not forgetting to explain the meaning of the two words.

"Why do you suddenly want to teach me these two words?"

"...I feel it."

"Ah, by the way, they said you had a duel with Erza today."

Lebby showed a look in her eyes that said, "You're so brave." She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and tried to press it down again. It felt very hard.

"It's hard to say...you can laugh if you want."

"Haha... No, I'm not laughing at you... Haha, um, I'm just happy to learn new words."

Just because there was no malice in the laughter, Rhodes couldn't even get angry. He sighed:

"By the way, here are these for you, Feng Yong's glasses."

Lebby shook her head: "Let me lend it to you first. I still have a spare one on hand, and I have to go out to work tomorrow, so I won't need it."

"You've only been back for two or three days, right? Are you so diligent?"

"Because the pay from my last job was not high, and I also spent a few days in the target city..."

In fact, the strength of Lebby's team is average among the guilds, so the tasks they take on are often not very difficult.

Accordingly, the remuneration will not be too high.

Then the reward for a task has to be divided among three people. Compared with other partners, they naturally have to be a little more diligent.

But even this is enough to make Rhodes envious: "I don't know how long it will take before I can take on some higher-paying tasks."

Lebby suggested: "If you want to take on the mission, how about joining our lane engine team? The reward this time will be very good."

Rhodes was a little moved, but immediately shook his head: "No, even if I join you, my strength will only hinder you."

"It doesn't matter. This time I am going to the mountains with the expedition team to solve puzzles and hunt for treasures. I rely more on my brain than force."

Lebby closed one eye, raised two fingers, and said seductively, "The reward is 200,000 J."

Rhodes swallowed his saliva, not because Lebby's actions were too cute, but because the reward was too tempting.

If 200,000 J is divided equally among four people, it would be 50,000 J, which is less than half a month's salary.

But to go into the mountains...

"Sure enough, let's forget it. Thank you. I don't think I'm ready yet."

"Is that so?" Lebby tilted her head and did not continue to ask the reason, "What a pity."

Rhodes smiled bitterly, the shadow of being attacked by wild beasts when he first crossed over, coupled with Erza's punch today...

Before he had a certain level of strength, he would never dare to step outside the town limits of Magnolia.

Makarov, who closed his eyes to rest, glanced at Rhodes. This child was also a 'problem' child.

——

After getting off work, Rhodes did not go home directly. Instead, he jogged along the road in front of the guild, briefly warming up and then gradually speeding up.

‘Exercise your body, otherwise you will suffer. ’ The president’s words still lingered in his ears. Rhodes felt that just doing push-ups before going to bed was too perfunctory. It would be good to add a running event.

A large box of medicine and medical supplies sent by Erza was transported back home by Rod's Swift Crab.

The box might have been custom-made by Erza, with the Fairy Tail logo painted on it, so no one would mess with it even if it was placed at the door.

Rhode ran through the residential area near the guild, and jumped down the stone steps that were nearly two meters high, and arrived at another residential area.

Running further along the road, he arrived at the bank of a canal that passed through Magnolia City.

From a distance, he could see the tallest building on the opposite bank - the Cathedral of Cardea.

The streets around the church belonged to the city center, which meant that the guild was actually built at the edge of the city.

This might also be the reason why Rhode's rent was relatively cheap, and it was a little farther from the city center.

After reaching the river, Rhode did not go to the city center, but continued to run along the canal until his heartbeat accelerated, he was out of breath, and sweat began to flow down his cheeks.

He was not sure how far he had run, but he silently counted the number of steps, which was more than 3,000.

Rhode was surprised to find that his physical condition might be better than before the time travel. He used to be in this state after running three laps around the playground, but now he was obviously a little stronger.

In the past, this feeling of almost bursting lungs would have driven him to stop, but now, Rod knew that it was just the beginning.

Real exercise is not only for the body, but also for the will. Every time he felt that he could not hold on, he just held on for a while, even if he ran a hundred meters more, it would be progress.

Of course, a guy like him with weak physical fitness might be laughed at for talking about willpower - this distance, people have just warmed up, and you are exercising your willpower?

There is no way. Given his physical condition, Rod can hardly move his legs now, and he even has to rely on the twisting power of his waist and hips to drive his legs and feet forward.

Worm, the disloyal guy, originally moved his short legs to run a few steps, but soon he thought of Rod's shoulders as a weight for him.

Rod decisively chose to send it back.

He felt that it was not time for him to carry weights yet.

Today's weather was not sunny, so that only a vague light spot could be seen when the sun set.

"Come on, young man!" Someone in the canal was riding a boat upstream, and when he saw Rod sweating profusely, he gave him a cheer.

Rhode raised his sore arm as a response and continued his "will training".

The residents here are quite friendly.
