"Then what will happen if you actively release the soul of the Swift Crab you just received?"

Rhodes released the magic and then tried to release it actively.

"It seems like nothing happened, the third river crab didn't appear."

Rhodes felt his state, "But I can't change into the previous form now."

"A situation I have never encountered before." Makarov frowned and thought for a while. The normal situation should be that a river crab appears after taking the initiative to 'release' it.

"Try to receive it again."

"Okay." Rhodes followed the process just now, summoning the river crab first, and then receiving it.

After successful transformation, the river crab enters dormant state again.

When he cancels the magic of receiving, the river crab will also recover. And it will not be affected when he uses the magic of receiving again.

Even if he no longer actively releases them, he can still summon two river crabs.

It's just not easy to hold the pendant.

The Canyon Swift Crab form also protects the pendant inside the armor.

Rhodes thought that he should practice the technique of using summoning magic without holding the pendant with his hands, as long as there was physical contact.

"You... it's a bit weird to summon magic, but it's so weird to learn to receive magic."

Makarov couldn't think of a reason, but magic itself didn't have a fixed form.

Rhodes didn't want to be regarded as a weirdo, so he quickly said: "My word magic is normal."

Makarov shook his head, that's not normal, that's weak.

"In short, pay more attention to your physical condition next time and make sure there are no problems before you try to receive anything else."

"Okay, President, then I'll go to the lake to practice for a while!" Rhodes maintained his swift crab form and was about to rush out as soon as his footsteps moved.

However, the next moment, a big hand held him: "Let me fix the wall first!"

"Oh..." Rhodes canceled the transformation.

If someone accepts or refuses to accept something, the president will slap him in the face.

Build a wall!

"If you can tear it down, you can build it; if you can break it, you can stand it up!"

Fairy Tail's strongest newcomer, Rhodes, chanted strange slogans and became a bricklayer.

Much more skilled than last time.

…

"Rhode? How did it happen?"

Near noon, Mira saw that Rhodes was a little gray and his clothes were stained with mud.

"I accidentally demolished a wall and just finished repairing it." Rhodes said sheepishly.

"Can you wait for me? I'll be back soon."

"It doesn't matter, it's still early." Mira smiled, "If even you are led astray by Natsu and the others, the president will have a headache."

"Accident, just an accident, see you later!"

Rhodes quickly left the guild. When he went out, the armor of a river crab appeared on his body, and he rushed out like lightning, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

Mira covered her mouth and looked shocked: "That is..."

Outside the guild, two people came over furtively, one with thick eyebrows and buck teeth, the other with a triangular head and a square chin.

The two of them had just turned the corner when they suddenly saw a dark green figure running past and were startled.

Croft asked: "What was that just now? It seemed like something green ran past."

"Who learned strange magic again? Maybe it's that guy Chico." Nicky said,

"Never mind that, go quickly and see if Mira and Rhodes are still there."

Kroff poked his head under the waist door and saw Mira sitting at the counter with deep thoughts.

"Okay, Mira is still here, they haven't set off yet!"

The two looked at each other: "You have time, take action!"

That guy Rhodes is too much. He spends the whole day shopping with Mira and traveling far away with her.

I actually asked Mira to have dinner with me today!

There are so many people in the guild who like Mira, so this is simply a sneak attack.

Give him a profound lesson!

So, after Rhodes went home, took a shower, changed clothes, and returned to the guild when he went out with Mira:

"Gah~"

"Gah~"

Two giant geese as tall as one person were strolling back and forth in front of the guild.

They stretched their necks and glanced at Rhodes, then spread their wings and stretched their necks: "Gah~gah~"

Rod looked at Mira in confusion: "Who raises geese that are so big? I didn't even see them when I came here."

Mira saw through it at a glance that this was a clumsy transformation magic, and guessed that these two people were trying to trick Rhodes.

Normally, she would probably express her ignorance with a smile, and then see how Rhodes would react.

But today, Mira wanted to ask something, but they disturbed her, so she showed a scary look:

"It's probably the ingredients ordered by Mr. Cook. Just kill them."

Kill... murderous intent!

The two people who turned into giant geese suddenly remembered that Mira's previous title was "Magic Mirajane".

"Gah...gah!" They took two steps back in tacit agreement, turned around and ran away.

When they resumed their human form a few meters away and continued running away, the two of them thought that they would not be killed after the transformation was released...

But it’s so shameful!

"Are those Nicky and Croft?" Rhodes recognized the two of them, "What are they playing at?"

"I probably want to scare you," Mira said, "Habi said you would cry when you see a goose, and now the whole guild knows."

"...Happy!" Rhode gritted his teeth. This unreliable cat was really talking nonsense.

But thinking about the embarrassed look of the two people just now, Rhodes laughed again: "Thankfully they can take it seriously."

False information is so useful that even your companions can guard against it.

Mira's conversation didn't seem to be very lively today. Rhodes discovered this after trying to find two common topics:

"Something on your mind?"

Mira hesitated for a moment and asked: "What magic did you use when you went home before?"

"Did you see it? I planned to tell you later." Rhodes said,

"The full name of the reception magic I just learned today should be called 'Full Body Reception·Wild Monster Soul·Canyon Swift Crab'."

As he spoke, Rhodes simply activated his magic and transformed into an armored man form: "How are you? Are you handsome?"

Mira was in a trance. She had seen such a scene before:

"Animal Soul·Cat!"

"Beast Soul·Bear!"

"Sister, look, are you surprised?"

"It's the same magic as Sister Mira~ With us by your side, you won't be lonely anymore, right?"

Yes, it was that time.

Because I was worried that I would be regarded as a monster again and my younger siblings would be ostracized by the guild members, I planned to leave alone.

At that time, Elfman and Lisanna also showed themselves the newly learned reception magic in this way.

"We have to be together all the time, and the magic is the same!"

That's what the kid Lisanna said.

That child is always so gentle and kind.

But……

Mira bit her lip lightly: "Why do you want to learn this kind of magic all of a sudden? You will be regarded as a monster."

"Are there not enough freaks in the guild?" Rhodes didn't expect Mira to still care about being treated as a monster.

The ill will of those villagers at that time has had an impact on her that continues to this day.

Also, five or six years ago, she was only twelve or thirteen years old. It was just because she was an older sister that she had to be strong, right?

Maybe this is the reason why she has been showing off her strength to compete with Erza since she joined the guild?

Rhodes thought for a while and said seriously: "Compared with appearance and other people's opinions, what I want more is strength.

What I am pursuing at this stage is the ability to protect myself and not hold back my teammates when forming a team.

After that, I think I will continue to pursue the power to protect everyone.

Being treated as a monster or something, I think this form is pretty cool.

When I have the ability to stand in front of the person I want to protect, I think that back view will be more handsome."

I'll give you a heads up as everyone requested, and then I'll see you tomorrow
