Chapter 178: The Newcomer, Tono
Mira smiled happily at his response. She tucked the letter away and said she'd think about the offer.
As for the magazines, she left them on the front counter, remembering that Rhodes enjoyed keeping up with current events.
After the New Year celebrations, the guild quickly returned to its usual rhythm, and Rhodes resumed his training routine as usual.

Three days later, a young boy with glasses arrived at the guild.
He looked very youthful, with a round face, a neat flat-top haircut, and a large schoolbag strapped to his back. He had a polite and well-behaved appearance.
After entering, he looked around the lively bar area, then made his way toward the front desk.
"Hello," Mira greeted warmly. "Are you here to post a job request?"
"No," the boy replied with a slight bow. "My name is Tono...Tono Rabitz. I just turned fifteen, and I use Light Magic."
He introduced himself clearly and confidently, then added, "I'd like to join Fairy Tail."
"I see. Nice to meet you, Tono. I'm Mirajane," Mira replied with a gentle smile. "Please wait a moment. I'll call the Master."
