Chapter 180 SS-level Commission
Fairy Tail Guild.
"I'm so bored. I'm not used to having so much free time all of a sudden."
Lucy slumped listlessly on the bar counter, unable to suppress a sigh.
Although I just finished the commission with Nazhabi yesterday, and surprisingly there were no unexpected situations, after deducting the round-trip transportation and meal expenses, the reward I received was only a pitiful seven thousand dollars.
That translates to one-tenth of the rent, not even including Nazhabi's share, which made Lucy feel like she had done nothing at all despite making the request.
"Then go to work. Do you need me to help you find one?" Mira suggested while wiping the edges and corners of the bar counter with a rag.
"But Natsu said he wants to take a couple of days off recently," Lucy said.
"Is it okay to commission someone alone or to go with other guild members?" Mira put down the rag in her hand.
"Well, since it's just a small team, I feel a little embarrassed to ask other people."
Lucy sighed softly. She had naturally thought about this problem, but no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find a suitable candidate—at least not someone as familiar as Nazhabi.
"You two have such a good relationship, just like lovers," Mira remarked with a smile, as a heart-shaped effect appeared around her.
"Ah? Not again? Please, Mira, let me go." Lucy pleaded through her tears.
The rumors about Biggleslow have just been clarified, and the bespectacled senior from the day before yesterday hasn't forgotten them yet. Is it Natsu's turn now?
"Hey Lucy, maybe Natsu really likes you. I've never seen him so attentive to any other girl in all this time in the guild!"
Seeing that Mira's words were so reasonable and well-founded, Lucy turned around with some skepticism.
Then, she saw Natsu and Happy standing on the table, twisting their bodies and making strange movements, which made their friends around them laugh.
"Even if that's the case, I don't want it!" Lucy shook her head with utter disgust.
Mira leaned closer and whispered in her ear, "But I really think you two are a perfect match!"
"A...a good match?" Lucy looked puzzled.
Despite her deep dislike for Natsu, the image of a handsome Natsu with the same special effects as Juvia couldn't help but pop into her mind.
Don't put such a weird filter on that guy! I'm the kind of person who...!
The two strolled hand in hand through the pink meadow filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, just like a couple deeply in love.
And please, no more of these seemingly alluring scenes! I'm the kind of person who...
Despite saying she hated it, Lucy became unusually restless when she was lost in her own fantasies, her heart racing, and she frantically waved her arms to drive away the images in her mind.
Mira, who saw through everything, smiled without saying a word: This time, her judgment must be correct!
"Ooh ooh ooh ooh!"
Suddenly, even louder cheers erupted from the other side of the table.
Upon arriving at the guild, Chess joined Nazhabi's party without a second thought, shamelessly wiggling his buttocks and striking even more flamboyant poses.
The reputation of Fairy Tail's S-class mage suddenly seemed to have lost all its prestige. Erza, who was also an S-class mage standing next to him, sighed, "Natsu's usual crazy antics are one thing, but why are you even joining in, Chess?"
She was just about to give Natsu a good scolding.
"How about it, Erza? Want to come along?" Chase invited with a smile.
Erza coldly observed the other party's large, erect member and said in an extremely serious tone, "No,"
That's so embarrassing.
"No need to be so serious. Even S-class mages need to balance work and rest," Chess continued to tempt them at the table.
However, before Erza could even reply, her friends around her immediately erupted in a commotion.
"What right does this guy, who makes Mr. Dark Magician work so hard while he's here collecting treasures, have to talk about work-life balance!"
"Exactly! We're all partners, why should we have to pay for a cultivation guide!"
"If this training guide doesn't work, I'll haunt you even as a ghost, you bastard Chase!"
Normally, they wouldn't have the courage to be so furious, but when it comes to their own wallets, that's a different story.
During the period following the end of the civil war, the Dark Mage and his apprentices completed the training plans for their companions, which were then handed over to the appropriate individuals by Chase.
When they first heard that they would have to pay money to buy it, poor people like Macao and Wakaba expressed their clear refusal and protest.
However, after Laki became the first to pay and receive the plan, everyone's attitude changed completely.
For these guys, what's harder to accept than money for alcohol, cigarettes, and picking up girls is seeing their friends become powerful!
In short, it boils down to this: I'm afraid my brother is suffering, but I'm also afraid he'll drive a Land Rover.
The chain reaction was immediately triggered, and everyone eagerly pulled out their money, only to be ruthlessly fleeced by Chase Wolf.
That's why they harbor such deep resentment when this topic is brought up!
"I'm telling you guys, you should be grateful that you can get a professional customized solution with that little bit of money," Kana interrupted the crowd's complaints.
"No way, I can't let this money go to waste. I have to take this rare opportunity to give Chase a piece of my mind!"
"Wait, Kana, why are you speaking up for Chess?" Someone noticed the key point.
"Oh, that's because Chess lent me the Book of Arcane Arts for free to train with."
Kana took a swig of her drink, spread her arms wide in a showy manner, and cool cards floated around her. "I'm much stronger than all of you now!"
"hateful!!"
Marcao and the others had already seen Cana's improved card magic, and although they were unwilling, they had to admit this fact.
In order to regain control of the narrative and to show off their transformation like Kana, this group suddenly burst forth with an unusual enthusiasm, rushing out to begin their own magical training.
With their departure, the noisy guild finally quieted down a bit.
"Things have definitely eased up a bit recently."
Chase dusted off his clothes, jumped off the table, and walked towards Mira. "Well then, let's take on an S-class commission to stretch our muscles."
An S-level commission? Just stretching my muscles?
Hearing this, the newbie Lucy secretly exclaimed in amazement—with her current strength, she simply had no way of connecting these two completely unrelated words!
Lucy was drooling with envy, thinking that the rewards for S-level commissions usually start at several hundred cubic meters.
"Speaking of which, I just received the notification this morning that an S-level commission has been upgraded to SS-level."
As if she had prepared this in advance, Mira pulled out a commission form from the chest of her burgundy dress and spread it out in front of Chase.
The first thing that catches the eye is the scarlet double S, signifying the extreme danger of this commission.
Beside the double S, an egg covered in strange patterns emitted a thick black mist, its title being "Investigate and resolve the anomaly of the ancient demon egg."
Chase glanced at the contents of the request, thought for a moment, and then took it: "No problem, this is it."
Even in Fairy Tail, SS-class commissions are not available all the time; they require strict review by the council and Chairman Makarov.
Besides its rarity and the absolute certainty of its completion, there was another aspect of this commission that particularly interested Chase.
That's the location where the commission was made, the one that appeared in the theatrical version of "Phoenix Priestess"—
The Forest of Boendali!
