"Hey, am I right? Natsu seems to be completely suppressed?"

"That's Rhodes, right? What's that form?"

"Isn't he learning to receive magic recently? It feels like he can receive something incredible."

"No wonder I was able to team up with Erza a few days ago. This guy is growing up too fast."

The hole created by Natsu provided everyone with a good viewing angle, and a group of bored people had something new to watch.

Habi looked at Natsu who seemed to be at a disadvantage with a concerned face, and said with some sadness:

"Isn't there anyone betting? We want to win with Rhodes."

Mira smiled and touched Hubby's head. In fact, she also wanted to buy it.

"It's so annoying! Tree vines!" Several tree vines grew on Rhodes' arms, wrapping around Natsu's body like spiritual snakes, tying him tightly, and then raised his hand and threw him out.

Unfortunately, after the tree vine broke away from Rhode's arm, it was immediately burned to death by the flames.

"Damn it, it's obviously flame, why can't I eat it?" Natsu wiped his mouth and took a deep breath.

"The fire dragon's...roar!"

Rhodes did not dodge, but blocked his face with his arms and shouldered it.

The raging fire swallowed him whole, and many parts of his body were scorched, but the red light ball on his chest flickered, and the damaged parts recovered quickly.

Mira clenched her fists angrily. Of these two people, one of them didn't attack lightly or hard, the other didn't know how to dodge, and the defense wasn't serious enough.

Before, she would have gone up and punched each one.

That's not right. If you change your previous personality, you might be able to fuel their anger...

"So you have become so strong!" Natsu laughed, "In that case, how about trying this trick?"

Natsu was accumulating magic power, and blazing flames surrounded him.

Rhodes squatted half-crouched with one hand on the ground, thinking about whether to interrupt him.

"Dragon Slayer Ao..."

"Crimson..."

"Enough is enough!" Two big hands penetrated the guild's wall and stretched out from inside, holding Natsu and Rhodes one by one.

"Wow!" Natsu lost all momentum and held Makarov's fingers with both hands, "What are you doing, old man! I'm going to win soon!"

Rhodes didn't even bother to struggle, and silently released the receiving magic. His reduced size allowed him to escape a little and sit on the president's tiger's mouth.

Makarov shouted: "Open your eyes and see what you have done to the guild!"

Natsu groaned and stopped talking. He would feel guilty if the old man asked him about destroying the guild.

Makarov was heartbroken: "And Rhodes, why are you following him around?"

"I was wrong, I will fix it." Rhodes admitted his mistake with a correct attitude. He just saw Natsu looking for trouble and wanted to take the opportunity to test his strength.

"That... President." Mira's voice rang out, "The two attacks you just made caused more damage than Rhodes."

Makarov's momentum was stagnant, and his angry words were stuck in his throat.

He let go of Natsu and Rhodes, and returned to normal size: "Ahem, anyway, you two will repair the guild with me!"

"Yes."*2

The melon-eaters were disappointed:

"What a pity, such a wonderful battle."

"Yeah, I thought I could see Natsu beating up Rhodes."

"I think it looks better when Rhodes beats up Natsu."

There are many people who want to see Rhodes get beaten. Although they know it will not help, it feels better that way.

If I had known that things would develop to this point, I should have practiced more with Rhodes when he was not strong yet.

A good opportunity was missed! Many people sighed with regret.

Gray would rather see Natsu get beaten, and besides, he himself was a little itchy.

It feels like Natsu and Rhodes are getting stronger, and Gray wants to have a good fight with them.

Rhodes went to repair the outer wall, which he knew well.

Makarov and Natsu repaired the wooden wall inside, a job they were familiar with. Because the bulletin board was more important, Mira directly asked Lucky to repair it. Then the two picked up the scattered orders and posted them back one by one.

.

Nabu also actively helped.

"The one in your family seems to be a bad student, Sister Mira."

Mira was almost too lazy to correct him: "Rhodes is measured, he just has a 'whim' occasionally."

"Really?"

"Yeah, last time we went together to help Mrs. Mari find her wallet, we met..."

"What?" Lucky looked curious.

Mira refused to say anything: "Nothing."

"Half-talking is the most annoying thing." Lucky complained, and then said enthusiastically,

"Sister Mira, you always mention 'us' when we chat recently~"

"Is there any?" Mira herself didn't pay attention, but if she thought about it carefully, it was natural.

Because lately, whether eating, shopping, or training, he is everywhere.

…

In late February, Rhodes teamed up with Elfman for another mission.

Elfman no longer dislikes Rhodes approaching Mira as much as before.

As a younger brother, although I was a little repelled by the fact that my sister had someone she liked at first, I only had a little bit of reluctance to let go. I was more worried that my sister would be deceived by an unreliable person.

Elfman is used to seeing people like Loki who have countless boats on his hands. There are also people like Jet and Troy who can't defeat him together.

How could this possibly reassure him?

But as for Rhodes, after teaming up so many times and playing so many games, he is generally quite trustworthy.

It means that there is suddenly an extra person in your life and you need to get used to it.

That's not right. Speaking of which, Rhodes and his two siblings have been training together every day for a long time, so they should almost get used to it.

Elfman was lost in thought, when did this guy start harassing his sister?

When you just woke up after being picked up by the president?

"Welcome back, Elfman, Rod." Mira looked at the two of them up and down, "Are you injured?"

Elfman said: "No, there is no fighting at all this time."

This time it was a task to escort a family of four to a long-distance move. The family had a lot of belongings and were worried about being robbed on the road, so they hired a magician to escort them.

For Rhodes and the others, they can get 200,000 J by running errands with the team, which is a real profit.

Mira glanced at Elfman and cast a questioning look at Rhodes.

Rhodes looked at her apologetically and shook his head slightly.

Mira gave him a look of relief and shook her head slightly to say it didn't matter.

"???" Elfman looked puzzled. What kind of strange way of communication is this?

Can you two communicate without speaking anymore?

Or did you secretly learn the magic of talking with Wo Lian?

He couldn't help but ask: "Sister, what are you talking about?"

Mira smiled: "It's nothing. I have traveled so far and it has been a hard journey. Let's take a good rest."

Elfman left with doubts, always feeling that his sister and Rod were hiding something from him.

Could it be that they were quietly engaged?

Although it feels a bit fast, there is no need to hide this kind of thing...

Suddenly he wanted to fight with Rhodes again.
