Chapter 537: So Exciting
After receiving some quick treatment, Gajeel announced he was heading back. Right before leaving, he awkwardly mumbled a thank-you to both Wendy and Rhodes.
Even if he wouldn’t admit it out loud, being accepted by this group made him happy.
Rhodes offered to summon a crab to take him home, but Gajeel shook his head. He already had a flying companion.
Lily stepped forward and said, "Leave it to me. I’ll handle it."
Rhodes nodded, satisfied. Even the Exceed raised by these Dragon Slayers knew how to take care of their partners.
Meanwhile, his own Poro just kept getting rounder by the day and only knew how to act cute.
Once Gajeel and Lily departed, the rest of the group officially began their training session.
They started with the basics, meditation and physical conditioning, before moving on to hand-to-hand combat drills.
The main participants were Wendy, Rhodes, and Mira, though Lisanna and Carla also joined in.
Of course, Carla focused primarily on refining her magic and developing her unique Prophecy abilities inherited from her mother.
According to her, prophecy magic wasn’t just for show, it could assist in battle too. With enough control, one could foresee enemy movements and detect hidden traps before they triggered. It was extremely practical.
To Rhodes, it sounded a lot like that "Observation Haki" from One Piece world, being able to glimpse the future in combat.
