"I can just take care of other places by myself."

After taking care of the areas that were inconvenient for him to apply medicine, Rhodes was too embarrassed to keep asking Mira for help.

"Then I'll go out first." Mira put down the medicine bottle and tweezers, "You can rest a little longer."

"Well, thank you."

After watching Mira leave, Rhodes took off his T-shirt and applied medicine to the bruises on his front bit by bit.

By the way, I also reviewed the battle with Natsu.

After today's fight, in addition to leaving Rhodes with a lot of pain, it also gave him a lot of gains.

First of all, he has become a person who has fought seriously, which is very important. At least he will no longer be timid before fighting when he hears about it.

Then, he also learned a few tricks of using magical power to defend himself.

Although with his current magic power, it would be a bit difficult to defend against Natsu's fists, but if he was fighting an ordinary person, he could basically withstand the opponent's fists and kicks.

When fighting Natsu, Rhodes' punches and kicks basically imitated Natsu's movements.

Natsu punched him in the face, and he punched him in the face.

Natsu turned sideways and elbowed him in the stomach, and he turned sideways and elbowed him in the stomach.

Of course, except for the two punches, Natsu didn't use magic at all.

If you think about it carefully, during the hand-to-hand combat, it seems that he was deliberately left open to attack, and he didn't do much dodge or defensive movements.

So if we just talk about the number of hits and the number of hits received, there should be not much difference between the two.

But in the end, Rhodes was lying on the ground in pain and could hardly get up.

Natsu, as if nothing was wrong, patted the dust off his body and carried Rhodes to the infirmary.

"Thinking about it this way, it feels like Natsu is specially being my sparring partner..."

Rhodes looked at the injuries on his body and smiled helplessly, "You have to thank someone after being beaten. What's this?"

But when he beat the river crab, he was probably out of pure curiosity and itchy hands.

By the way, the strange feeling when the river crab disappears needs to be studied carefully.

After resting for a while in the infirmary, Rhodes got up and went to the front to help.

In addition to Mira and Lucky, there is also a girl helping in the tavern.

She looks like a tomboy from the front with her short black hair, but in fact she has a long braid on the back of her head.

She was wearing a short red cheongsam and black knee-high socks with the guild's coat of arms printed on the top of the socks.

Rhodes recognized her name as Sally, and the magic she used was dress-up magic, but she was not as proficient as Erza. She could only change weapons during battle.

It is said that what she is best at using is a pair of steel claws on her wrists... I guess they are of the melee type, and they are quite brutal.

Sally's shift schedule is much less than Rod's. Working as a waitress is really just a part-time job. Her main source of income is teaming up with three other friends to complete tasks.

In addition to Sally, there is another girl named Izzy, whose situation is similar to hers, but Rhodes has only seen her once when she couldn't speak, so she is not familiar with her.

"Rod? I heard everyone said that you had a fight with Natsu today."

Sally was holding the plate in one hand, and with a flash of steel claw on the other hand, she asked eagerly: "How about it, do you want to come and have a fight with me?"

Obviously, this is also a militant.

Rhodes refused decisively: "Spare me, my whole body is hurting now."

"Sally, my wine!"

Someone saw Sally stopping to chat and couldn't help but urge her.

"I'm so annoyed. Isn't this a gift?"

Well, this guy has a bad temper, so it’s better not to provoke him if you can.

Although he may not be that strong, it shouldn't be a problem to defeat Rhodes now.

Rhodes looked around and finally went to the counter to wait.

At this time, Gray was leaning on the counter, with a task list on the table, waiting for Mira to register: "Hey, that guy Natsu, doesn't his fist have enough force?"

"Ah." Rhodes smiled bitterly and touched the swollen area on his face, "Why didn't you see anyone else?"

"I just took over the task and went to work with Habi." Gray picked up the power of attorney that Mira returned to him and shook it at Rhodes, "I'm going to work too, see you later."

Rhodes nodded: "Well, be careful on the road."

Gray had just taken a few steps when Mira shouted to him: "Gray, clothes!"

Gray lowered his head and found that he was only left with a pair of big pants: "When!"

Smiling as she watched Gray find his shirt and trousers, Mira poured a glass of water for Rhodes: "Are you concerned about Natsu?"

"Yeah, after all, I'm under his 'care', a little bit..."

Rhodes held the water glass and did not drink. He just stared at the gently swaying water inside, "It's a bit awkward."

Naturally, you will feel uncomfortable after being beaten, but you should be grateful to the other party for holding hands and teaching him fighting skills intentionally or unintentionally.

And Natsu looks a bit younger than me, which is a bit awkward.

Rhodes found that he was a little entangled and liked to think about things. It was difficult for him to be as straightforward as everyone else.

From this point, it will diverge to thinking about whether I will not fit in with others or be ostracized.

Then I would despise myself again, thinking about how old I am, whether I have these things or not.

And when others are so sincere, I always feel sorry for them when I think about these nonsense...

Mira watched Rhode's expression change and could only guess that he was unwilling to lose:

"I've only learned magic for a few days, and it's already amazing to be able to reach this level. If I keep going like this, I might be able to do some ordinary work next month."

"That's right, let's practice hard first." Who can say for sure what will happen in the future? Maybe it's just my first time fighting and I'm not used to it.

Rhodes looked at the people laughing and joking in the tavern, "Who should I talk to next time?"

A separate boy, Marcus who talked a lot in the morning, came into view.

Go and request it and give it a try.

——

It was another fulfilling day of working, practicing, and tasting the exquisite cooking skills of the guild chefs.

After returning home, Rod did what Lucky said and smashed the wooden box without a mouth before taking out the magazine inside.

Soshala is a weekly, and what Lucky gave to Rod was a year, plus some supplements and special issues, about sixty volumes.

Sixty magazines were piled neatly on the table, which was more than a dozen thick.

"What a pity for such a perfect box... Do you want me to use it as a nest for you?"

Rod showed Worm the wooden box with one side broken open.

The box is not big, and it can easily hold a Poro.

However, Worm didn't like this kind of nest, so he shook his head and retreated to the bottom of the bed.

"Don't forget it. I haven't cleaned the bottom of the bed carefully yet. Don't let it get covered in dust."

Rhodes threw the broken wooden box next to the fireplace and kept it as firewood, admiring the convenience of modeling magic again.

He took out Feng Yong's glasses and quickly browsed the contents of the magazine.

"The ruler of ghosts..."

This is one of the two most famous magician guilds in the Kingdom of Fiore, the other being of course Fairy Tail.

However, Fairy Tail has been quiet for a long time, and its reputation has only grown in recent years.

Rhodes read this news from a weekly issue that focused on ghosts.

If we just talk about the size and number of people, Spectre is much larger than Fairy Tail, because in addition to the main headquarters, Spectre has more than two dozen branches with many members.

"That's the name Ghost, it sounds so much like the Dark Guild..."

After seeing several of Ghost's signature magicians and some of the accidents they caused, Rhodes was able to dispel his doubts.

This guild is no worse than Fairy Tail in terms of disorder.
