Chapter 26 - Chapter 26: At this moment, you are probably joking.

"In that case, it should be easier to accept missions in the future."

Rayn just thought to himself.

To be able to kill a magical beast that was considered powerful even among C-rank wizards.

Then when accepting missions in the future.

Not to mention directly skipping a level to accept a B-rank request.

At least for some C-rank requests that looked dangerous and had high rewards.

Makarov should also agree.

"Well, it's good that you're not injured."

Makarov scanned Rayn and was relieved to see no injuries.

He had fought with Rayn before and knew his limits clearly.

It should be a difficult battle to defeat the Moonlight Bear.

But in Wakaba's words, it was almost a one-sided suppression.

And that red strange magical weapon, he had never seen Rayn use it before.

His gaze swept past Kanna at his side. Makarov guessed that he might have borrowed the power of a dragon.

Otherwise, there was no way to explain why his strength had suddenly increased so much.

It was just a bit strange. The dragon he had seen before was clearly white.

"Could it be a new dragon?"

Makarov thought curiously in his heart, but he did not choose to ask.

This was already Rayn's secret. Even he would not force himself to ask.

"Then I'll go see if there are any other missions."

Seeing that Makarov was not speaking, Rayn led Kanna to the request board.

"Not bad."

Macao looked at the young man's back, his eyes inevitably feeling surprised, but he soon showed a smile.

A junior in the guild had great talent, and he was also happy about it.

As for Wakaba's words, he had not suspected them from the beginning.

It was just a way for the two of them to bicker.

"Who do you think will win if they fight?"

Someone asked curiously.

"I think it's still Laxus. After all, he grew up in the guild and has been exposed to magic for much longer than Rayn."

"That's true. Rayn's talent is strong, but he has been exposed to magic for too short a time."

"Laxus's talent is not weak either."

"I don't think Rayn will necessarily lose. You haven't seen that scene…"

Wakaba stroked his beard and stood firmly on Rayn's side.

The impact of that violent scene was really not small.

A group of people had their own opinions, but overall, they were more optimistic about Laxus.

After all, they had been with Laxus for a longer time and understood him better.

Although his temper was a bit arrogant, his strength was unquestionable.

Some of the older people in the field did not dare to say that they could defeat Laxus.

In contrast, their understanding of Rayn.

He was just a little brother that the master had brought back with seemingly good talent.

Even with Wakaba's description, it was still difficult to connect them together.

"Then why don't we make a bet?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, and Wakaba bit his cigar and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Bet on what?"

Bisca, who was spinning on her toes, stopped and looked at Wakaba curiously.

"What we were just discussing… who loses and who wins."

A smile appeared on Wakaba's lips, and under his serious posture, he looked a bit elegant.

"The loser treats."

As entertainment, this was also their usual bet.

"Alright!"

The other few people looked at each other and quickly agreed.

"Then I'll also bet on Rayn to win."

Macao did not choose Laxus, but followed Wakaba.

The others were not surprised. Although the two had always been against each other, their relationship was extremely good.

"Then it's settled?"

Wakaba glanced at Macao, then looked at the few people opposite him.

Seeing that no one objected, he directly confirmed.

And those few people, seeing that there was nothing else, did not stay any longer and returned to their respective positions.

"Are you really sure?"

Macao propped up his chin and looked at the young man who was pausing in front of the request board.

"No."

His hands spread forward, and Wakaba said without hesitation.

Although he was on Rayn's side, he was actually not sure if Rayn would win.

But since it was a bet, it was natural to bet small to win big.

And…

"Then why did you say so?"

Turning his head in surprise to look at the man beside him, Macao's mouth twitched.

"Anyway, you're paying for half of it. If we win, they'll cover our drinks!"

Taking the cigar from his mouth, Wakaba showed a smug smile, then took the cup and drank the wine in it in one gulp.

"Is it too late for me to back out now?"

Macao immediately understood that this guy was taking revenge for what he had done to him just now!

"Bang! At this moment, you must be joking."

Placing the wine cup heavily on the table, Wakaba looked at his friend, his smile gradually becoming malicious.

Under the expectant thoughts of the guild members.

Time soon came to the next day.

Macao and the others found a problem.

Not only did Laxus not come back, but Rayn also did not appear in the guild.

"Ha!? You mean Rayn took another mission and went out!?"

At the bar, Macao and the others surrounded Makarov and let out a surprised cry.

He had just completed a request, and he went out to complete another request without even resting.

Didn't he plan to rest at all?

Wouldn't this make them seem very lazy!

"Well, this mission should take some time."

Glancing at these guys, Makarov knew what they were thinking.

But he did not pay attention to it, just thinking of Rayn's mission.

Title: Find the missing children

Mission Rank: C

Content: In Oak Village near Hargeon Port, in the recent week, three children have disappeared from their homes quietly in the evening. There were no signs of fighting or struggle at the scene. We hope that a wizard who is good at tracking or investigation can help find the children.

Client: Oak Village

Reward: 50,000 J

Makarov originally wanted to refuse.

This mission might be against a dark guild.

It might even require killing someone with his own hands.

For a novice who had just completed a mission, and was still a child, it was a bit too much for Rayn.

"Master, I'm ready."

Rayn shook his head silently and refused, his pupils like a lake without ripples, and he said calmly.

This posture immediately made Makarov understand.

Perhaps it was because he did not want his own experience to happen to others.

Or perhaps he simply thought that this matter was the same guild that had attacked his own village.

No matter which one it was, he was determined to accept this mission.

The so-called ready was ready to kill with his own hands.

Makarov did not want a child of this age to be stained with blood.

But wizards looked glamorous, but how many of them did not have blood on their hands?

"I understand, but I will arrange a teammate for you."

As the master, he could not refuse. In addition, Rayn had also killed the Moonlight Bear, and his strength was stronger than he had imagined. Makarov could only choose to attack from the side.

"Yes."

Looking at Makarov's serious look, Rayn could only agree.

Then he led Kanna out of the guild.

Because of his mood, he did not even hear the people who were discussing him.
