Chapter 63: The Shortlist
"Why me!"
In the conference room of Fairy Tail, Renaud looked at the bigwigs around him with an innocent face.
Sitting on his left hand side is the amiable Kildas, what are the characteristics of this person, first of all, he is strong, the kind of unreasonable strong, according to rumors, he actually has the ability to challenge the Holy Ten. There is also a straight, which is also very intuitive, he is good at decomposing magic, so whenever he encounters a wall or something that needs to be turned, he will directly dismantle that wall, Magnolia Town's road leading to the demon tail, was specially built for him, and the town has also developed a "Kildas model", just to avoid the uncle destroying too many buildings on the way back to the guild.
So sitting next to him, Renault felt the pressure, so he turned his head to the other side.
"What do you see?"
The one to his right, apparently not very good-tempered, wore an ornately decorated headset, a lightning-bolt facial pattern on his face, and a short blond hair that was said to have been inherited from Old Man Makarov. He is also an S-class magician, and he is also the youngest S-class magician with Fairy Tail so far, and he is most famous for his stinky temper that doesn't give face to anyone.
This guy is a complete strengthist, thinking that weak people are all garbage, and the evaluation standard is himself, so he will find fault with everyone he can look up to fight, if that person has not been beaten down after a meal, it will be counted in his eyes, and it is treated the same for both men and women, it is said that his followers "Thunder God Crowd", all of them have been subjected to his "violent selection". However, since Felid arrived, he didn't need to do this work himself, but because of this, his "Thor" never joined the newcomers.
It shouldn't be the reason for Filid's jealousy, well, it should.
Sitting across from Renault were Makarov and Old Man Yajima, and there was an empty seat next to them, supposedly reserved for the most mysterious S-class in the guild, Misto Hills, but apparently he had little interest in this kind of gathering.
In short, this room is full of the Ten Saint Magi, Magic Council Members, and S-Class Magiers, and there seems to be only one of the nameless and undivided idle people.
So he felt a lot of pressure, especially when he thought about the murderous gaze he had from Mira before he entered the conference room.
However, the rest of the people did not take Renault lightly, especially Makarov and Mr. Yajma.
"Hehe, Renault, you don't need to hide yourself here, I've heard Yajma say about you, I know, you don't want to make Miela feel pressure, right, in fact, it's completely unnecessary, in my experience, girls still prefer men who are stronger than themselves." Makarov said to Renault with a smile on his face, with a "I understand you" expression on his face.
No, Lord, I think you probably misunderstood, forget it, anyway, no matter how I explain it, you don't plan to listen to it, right, it's good that you're happy.
Renault tried to plead, but gave up before he could open his mouth.
"Is this guy really strong?" Lagersas glanced Renault up and down, he had lost interest after hearing that the newcomer in the guild was a Star Spirit Wizard, but now his grandfather and Mr. Ajima's words made him start to evaluate his value again.
"He almost killed that Elligol on his own, but I could see it clearly from the sidelines." Yajma nodded.
Ha? You didn't faint at the time. The corners of Renault's eyes twitched, but he clearly remembered that after he fell, the corners of the mouth of this seemingly weak old man began to foam.
"The 'Grim Reaper' of the [Iron Forest]? It's not easy to suppress that guy. Kildas also gave Renault an appreciative thumbs up.
"No, actually, it's because of some tricks, if I compete with magic alone, I definitely can't beat that guy." Renault said modestly.
"Resourcefulness is also part of strength, and being able to use your brains is the quality that a strong person should have." Makarov said solemnly, "Then, in that case, you will be responsible for the sniper plan of the Demon Jin Examination this time." ”
Others also agreed, after all, this kind of laborious and thankless thing, it is simply better to have someone to carry the bag.
"After the assessment is over, let's have a fight."
Ragsas really started his big business again, and now in his heart, Renault was already an opponent to take seriously, so he planned to play the duel with Renault himself.
"That kind of thing will be talked about after the assessment is over." Old man Makarov glared at his grandson dissatisfied, but Lagersas ignored him at all, just stared at Renault with a fierce look.
Renault had no choice but to nod and agree, but the price was that Lagersas had to obey the command throughout the period of the magic promotion exam, and could not strike willfully or casually beat players he didn't like such as Natsu to serious injury.
Kildas, on the other hand, was much easier to talk to, saying that he would listen to any concoction as long as it was interesting.
"If you want to divide the labor, you still have to refer to the formal assessment form to decide, Mr. Yajma, have you considered this point?" Renault consulted professionally with the examiner.
"Oh, way...... It's this. Mr. Yajma threw out a proposal.
"This ......"
After reading the plan, both Renault and Lagersas changed their faces, and everyone had a look of "you're not kidding me".
"That's the plan, as for the rest, you can do whatever you want." Mr. Yajma stood up and called Makarov beside him, "Leave the rest of the time to these young people, let's not stay here and make trouble, let's go, how about a cup of tea with me." ”
The two bigwigs just left, leaving only Renault Kirdas and Ragsas sitting in the conference room, staring at each other.
"What the hell is this, so that you can test the magician?" Ragsas waved the paper with the plan written on it, and his face was grumpy.
"Isn't that interesting, I'm looking forward to it." Kildas stroked his beard.
"Forget it, let's take a look at this year's shortlist first." Reynolds feebly opened the envelope left by the president.
"Elsa, Mirajan, Doranbart, Natsu, Gray, Elufman...... Wait, who's this? Field, Abba Green, and Pyguthro? Have you signed up for all of your 'Thor' this year? Renault gave Lagersas a strange look.
"Look at what I'm doing, I don't know about it!" Ragsas glared back unceremoniously, and then said casually, "They are already excellent magicians, so what's so strange about being able to participate in the S-rank exam." ”
"In short, it's really lively, plus the assessment method this time...... It seems that the old men also want to have a lively time! ”
