Chapter 559: Rhodes’ Guide to Punching Around Armor
"Everyone’s gone... What should we do now?" Carla looked at Wendy’s fading silhouette and still couldn’t shake her unease. She felt like she needed to stay busy to distract herself.
Makarov stroked his beard and replied, "First, help carry the medical supplies and food to the camp. Then we’ll wait for them at the finish line of the first stage."
Gildarts, Mira, and Erza had already set up tents on the island, a small base where the examiners could rest and eat in between.
Carla obediently grabbed a box and floated beside the Master. "Do you know who Wendy will face?"
Makarov chuckled. "I’m actually hoping she and Rhodes run into Mira. That would be... entertaining."
"But they fight every day already. It’s getting old," Carla said flatly, clearly unimpressed.
"No, no, no, it’s not about the fighting," Makarov said, wagging a finger. "With Rhodes’ personality, I bet he’ll try to conserve his strength. He’ll probably come up with some kind of sneaky plan to deal with Mira. And then..."
He broke into a sly grin. "Then Mira will be furious and spend the next few days chasing him down for revenge! With any luck, they’ll be too busy with each other to bother me! Ah ha ha ha!"
"..."
You really are a sly old fox, Carla thought, completely exasperated by the entire guild. "So... they picked Mira’s path?"
"Sigh." Makarov let out a long breath. "Unfortunately, they chose..."
"Erza," Rhodes interrupted.
