Chapter 198: I’m Back
There were generally two sources for the randomly assigned tasks at the regular meetings.
One source was the Magic Council, which often needed to request assistance from guilds to make up for a lack of manpower or certain specialized skills.
Rhodes had already experienced this kind of task once. They were usually troublesome, with only average rewards, but the advantage was gaining favor with the Council.
For Fairy Tail, this was quite helpful, at the very least, it allowed Mr. Yajima to speak more confidently on Fairy Tail's behalf during Council sessions.
The other source was the smaller guilds.
Occasionally, small guilds would receive commissions beyond their abilities. Some would reject the jobs outright and help redirect the clients to bigger guilds. Others would attempt the task, and only after failing, pass it along to stronger guilds.
The regular meetings served as a convenient place to hand off these commissions.
Naturally, the guild masters allowed to participate in the draw were those recognized as capable enough to handle them, guilds like Blue Pegasus and Quatro Cerberus.
And, of course, Fairy Tail, as one of Fiore's top guilds, had its responsibilities too.
Makarov hopped down from his chair, took a few steps forward, and suddenly turned back:
"Rhodes, you go for me."
