Chapter 296: Mr. Rhodes is too reliable
Romeo stormed out in tears, right after landing a solid punch on the Guild Master's face.
Makarov didn't chase after him.
He had his reasons. As a rule, he wouldn't order a rescue just because a mage hadn't returned on time.
Rhodes, however, watched the boy go and couldn't help but think, 'This kid's got a future.'
After all, it wasn't every day that someone punched a Wizard Saint out of raw emotion and got away with it.
"Seriously..." he murmured with a wry smile.
Makarov wasn't angry. If anything, he looked quietly troubled.
Still, unless Macao stepped up and personally requested help, intervening in another wizard's mission without permission could be seen as disrespectful. It might even imply that the other person was incapable of completing it themselves.
Besides, no one was sure if Macao was even in danger.
To most members of the guild, the idea that someone as experienced as Macao would struggle against a few Vulcans seemed absurd.
Rhodes agreed. The job request had included detailed information about the monsters, climate, and terrain. Nothing looked suspicious on paper.
