Fairy Tail: Sun Eater

When Wendy get inside the room, Ben feel a sense of familiarity from her. He also smell a strange but familiar smell.

""Smell of a Dragon.""-Ben & Wendy

Ben never smell a Dragon, but strangely, he know about it.

"A dragon slayer?"-Ben

"Yes, she is a dragon slayer. Coincidentally or not, she also found herself in the forest at the same time with you. But then, a boy found her and brought her here 2 days before you arrived here."-Roubaul

"Then, the reason for your guess is her?"-Ben

"Yes. When you tell me about the day you found yourseld in the forest, i was reminded of her. But i was still not sure, so i asked you, but you're being difficult yesterday. If i don't scare you like that, i feel like you'll really attack me, and this morning, you really attack me."-Roubaul

"It's your own fault for showing up behind me so suddenly. Beside, my attack didn't work at all to you."-Ben

"Well, forget it! Boy, Wendy is a dragon slayer like you, and she is our member now. How if you join us and help each other with Wendy? I don't know what happen to you guys, but i can guess it. You were sent fron 400 years ago to this age."-Roubaul

"What?"-Ben frowned

Altough Ben know that he was sent from different world, but he never thought that the other dragon slayers were sent from the past, so he's curious.

"400 years ago, the dragons suddenly disappeared. No one know the reason, but it's a fact. That means, natural dragon slayer magic should be gone by now. However, you guys suddenly appear out of nowhere at the same time. Natural Dragon Slayers were taught by real Dragons, so you must be sent from the era of Dragons, 400 years ago."-Roubaul

Ben is surprised, and he look at Wendy who seem sad, so it must be true.

"Fine, let's accept that as a truth. Then why did you want me to join this guild?"-Ben

"The world have changed drastically from 400 years ago. You will need to adapt slowly and a guild is the best place. A guild is like a family, we help each other in here. I also want you to help Wendy, as she is a dragon slayer like you."-Roubaul smile

"..... Family, huh?"-Ben have sadness in his eyes

[A.I Chip suggest you to join this guild. There is no problem with the guild, and you can use guild resources to train. You can also learn about this new world slowly through the guild.]

"I'll think about it first, this is a new place for me, and i can't trust anyone that i just met. I'll give you my answer in 2 days."-Ben

"Alright, you can stay in that house for these 2 days."-Roubaul

Ben get out from the room and go to the lake. Ben believe in A.I Chip's judgement, but he have his own judgement. He is trained to always be wary & careful in a new place and new people. He will see if he can really trust these people or not.

"Uum, e-excuse me."-Wendy

Wendy suddenly approach Ben and call him shyly.

"You're... Wendy? Do you need something?"-Ben

"Uuh, c-can we have a little talk? Ah, it's okay if you don't want to."-Wendy seem nervous

".....Okay, let's talk."-Ben

Wendy get happy and then introduce herself as Wendy Marvell, 5 y.o. Ben also introduce his real name to her, and his current age.

"Umm, Ben-san, what Dragon Slayer Magic that you learned. My magic is Sky Dragon Slayer Magic, and the one who taught me was Grandenee, a sky dragon."-Wendy

"Don't call me Ben-san, just Ben is fine. My magic is Sun Dragon Slayer Magic. I was taught by Escanor, a Sun Dragon. However, he gave me his magic at his last breath. Wevve just met, but he want to pass his legacy to me. He couldn't teach me anything, so he just transfer his knowledge about magic."-Ben

Of course that is a lie, there's no way Ben will tell her that he was from another world. She'll just think that he is crazy and avoid him. What Ben told her just now is a story made by A.I Chip, and most people will believe it. They can't prove it even if they don't believe it anyway.

"I-i also didn't train long under Grandenee, but she have taught me everything. That's why, umm..."-Wendy hesitate

"You want to train together?"-Ben

"Y-yesh. Ouch!"-Wendy bite her mouth

"Hahahaha, you don't need to be so nervous around me, i won't bite you. But fine, let's train together and correct each other."-Ben

Wendy got elated, and then they start training together, right away. Ben take Wendy for physical training first, as it's really important. Wendy is confused on why they need to train their physique, but she still follow Ben.

They did a lot of physical training set that morning. Of course Wendy's sets are a lot lower than Ben. She is still 5 y.o, so her physical training is just for warming up her body & relax her muscle.

Then finally, they start their magic training. They start with simple spell, following A.I Chip's training menu. What they need to familiarize first isn't the spell, but the element. Ben need to understand the Sun, while Wendy need to understand the Sky, and it's not easy.

Ben & Wendy give their opinion to each other about the Sun & Sky. Of course Ben give more opinions because he have lived for 25 years before, and he was an elite soldier that learned a lot of things about science. But Wendy also sometime give surprising opinions from magic world pov that open a new view for Ben.

They didn't do anything excessive at their magic training that day. They just train their magic control, elemental manipulation, and other basic stuffs. These trainings are made by A.I Chip, and Ben just follow it.

"Ben-san, these trainings are more effective than just training my spells."-Wendy

"Well, that's good to hear, but we still have another training."-Ben

"Eh? There's more?"-Wendy

"Yeah, and it's important. We will train combat training."-Ben

Combat training is very important for a mage. There's no use on having a great power when they can't use it well.

"Listen, Wendy! I will teach you some close combat skills, alright? Do you want an empty handed techniques, or you want to use weapon? For weapon i can teach you how to use knife, and short staff."-Ben

"I want an empty handed one."-Wendy

"Alright."-Ben

Ben then teach Wendy a mixed martial art that he learn on military academy. Of course he teach her the techniques that didn't utilize a lot of physical power because Wendy's physical power isn't as high as him, and she said she want a graceful techniques that didn't use brute strength.

They train until night, and return to the village. They have a dinner together with everyone in the village. At first, Ben is still uncomfortable, but as the time goes, he get more comfortable and start to talk with the others.

The next day, Ben train again with Wendy using the same menu. He also get more comfortable around the villagers and start to greet them. He haven't talk a lot with them, but he certainly get more comfortable here.

Ben train with Wendy until dark again like yesterday. He wash himself in the lake before join the dinner. They have normal dinner, and Ben also have some talk with the villagers. Then when the dinner finished, Roubaul call Ben.

"So little Ben, it's been 2 days of your stay in here, what's your decission?"-Roubaul

"Well, i've lived here for 2 days and observed you guys. Altough i mostly trained, but i still saw what you did. I must say that i really judge you too early, but that's me, i am a very cautious person."-Ben

"Well, that's normal. Everyone need to be cautious in a new place with new people. However, you're overly cautious and tend to act excessively, and that's not good."-Roubaul

"Maybe i won't act like that if you doesn't appear so suddenly behind me like a creep."-Ben

Roubaul look away and whistle, make everyone give him stink eyes.

"But well, now that i've know a little about you guys, i can say that you're good people, and this is certainly not a dark guild."-Ben

"I've told you, but you don't believe me."-Roubaul

"That's why, i've decide to join the guild."-Ben

"Hahaha, that's more like it, we have a new member now, let's have a party!"-Roubaul

""YEAAAHHH!""-Guild members

They start a party in the guild building, and Ben finally join a guild.
