Fairy Tail: Sun Eater

After Ben's big attack, the surviving Lizardmans retreat. There are only a few of them left, and they feel like they can't win, so they retreat. They even leave their comrades that have big injuries. The guild members kill the ones with big injuries, but didn't chase the run away enemies.

Ben lay on the ground and pant a little. That technique use a lot of MP even if it's just a very small version of the real Supernova. Even the dragon can't make the technique that match the real Supernova, not to mention him.

'Why'd i compare it with the real Supernova? I can't even match the real dragon's supernova technique yet, sigh.'-Ben

Ben stop his thinking and eat sunlight to restore his energy. Then he help the guild members who get injured badly and carry them to the village. Wendy treat the injured ones with her healing magic, and prioritize the ones with big injuries.

Ben is also helping by patching some wounds with ointment and bandages. Wendy will use magic on those with big injuries, while the light injuries will only use normal medicine. Wendy's MP is still low, so she can't heal too many people.

"Good job, Ben-boy. That attack is very impressive."-Roubaul

"Thanks, but i'm not satisfied yet. That attack used almost half of my MP, so i can only use it twice. I need to raise my MP capacity."-Ben

"Well, don't worry about it, your capacity will raise naturally. Beside, your growth is already fast enough. Your MP have raised almost 5 times from one year ago, so it's a good progress."-Roubaul

[Name: Ben Cooper

Age: 11

Status: Alive

MP: 1547/9832

STR: 40

AGI: 34

STA: 41

INT: 37]

"It's not enough. Dragon Slayer Magic use more MP than normal magic. Even more so for me who utilize 2 elements at once."-Ben

"Hmm, so what did you want to do?"-Roubaul

"Can you reduce our job intensity? Give us 3 hunting job a week, so that we'll have more time to train."-Ben

"Hmm, okay, we can do that."-Roubaul

"Great, i want to train in that cave when we're not on hunting job. The Ethernano density can help us to get more result in our training."-Ben

"Alright, just don't eat the Lacrima crystals alright?"-Roubaul

"Huh? Why would i do that? Even if dragon slayers like us eat elements for magic, we're not stupid enought to eat lacrima crystals."-Ben

"Well, i just warn you, because the lacrima crystals are solid Ethernano, so it is the same as eating elements for magic power."-Roubaul

"Hmm, now you made me curious about the taste. Maybe i'll try a lick of it later."-Ben

"..... Whatever, just don't get high on it!"-Roubaul

"You talk like it's a drug or something."-Ben sweatdrop

"It's similar."-Roubaul walk away

".... I'll be careful then."-Ben

Ben now have more time to train, and he'll really focus on increasing his MP. He have put more importance on MP before, but it's still not enough. Well, what could he do? It's his first year of training magic, so he have a lot to learn.

Luckily, Ben have A.I Chip that can help him learn faster. He have learn almost a third of Roubaul book's essentials. It takes longer than he thought, because processing all those magic theories isn't easy. Even more so when he wasn't someone from this world and never get in contact with real magic.

The next day, Ben take Wendy to the cave again for training. The problem with Lizardmans have finished, those guys won't mess with the village again anytime soon. Now Ben & Wendy can focus on getting stronger.

Wendy also feel the same with Ben and want to get stronger. Yesterday, she can't heal everyone because of her low MP. She want to help everyone, so she need to raise her MP and magic mastery.

Roubaul have told them the best method to raise their capacity. They will need to release & absorb Ethernano, like breathing, it will make their capacity raise slowly. However, they need to gain full advantage of it too.

Roubaul told them to release the ethernano by flowing it through their body. The ethernano that flow through their body will slowly strengthen their muscle, bones, veins, skin, everything. Of course the effect is small, but if they keep doing it, then the gain will be high.

Roubaul said that the reason for this is because ethernano is the basic energy of the world. Cells that keep getting nourished by ethernano will strengthened slowly. It need a lot of effort, but that's what everyone who want to be strong did.

Then after they release their ethernano, their body will automtically absorb it again from their surrounding. Roubaul forbid them to use their ability to eat element and let their body absorb the ethernano naturally. This will also train their body to absorb ethernano faster, so they can recover faster too.

Ben & Wendy start doing their training, and Ben give Wendy and example first. Ben do as Roubaul said and with A.I Chip assistance, he can do it easier. Then Wendy also try with Ben watching over her to stop her if she did something wrong. But she can do it just fine, so he doesn't need to worry.

Both of them train for the whole day and eat the lunch that they've brought. They return to the village when the sky start to get dark. They aren't allowed to overdid their training and must return before dark by Roubaul.

Ben & Wendy do hunting job again for the next day. Then after hunting, they'll train their spells and their other normal trainings on their usual place, not in the cave. They'll just train in the cave when they don't have job.

Their schedule is:

1. Hunting Job and normal training at Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

2. Training in cave at Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday

3. Rest at Sunday

Days passed with nothing strange happen. They keep training and getting stronger slowly. After 3 months, they have gained a lot of result too. Compared to their previous training speed, this is faster.

Between the two, the one who grow faster is Ben. He is older than Wendy, so his body can take more training than her. He is also very discipline because of his experience in military, and never skip training like Wendy.

Well, Wendy is still a child too, so she still want to play sometime. She often skip training to play with the guild member, and Ben let her do what she wanted. She need to enjoy her childhood too, so it's not a problem.

He is a grown up-, he WAS a grown up men, so he already have his fair amount of childhood memory. That's why he will let Wendy have her good childhood memory and he will take the responsibility as a big brother to protect her.

~~~

Today, they have a hunting job like usual. But when they return to the village, they find a strange thing. They find a big white egg with some pink marking on it. They never seen such a strange egg before.

"What should we do?"-Wendy

"Hmm, let's bring this back and ask Gramps about it. Maybe that old fossil willl know something."-Ben

They decide to take the egg to the guild, and Wendy carry it because Ben is carrying their preys. After arriving on the village, Wendy immediately take the egg to Roubaul. Roubaul check it and he also never see an egg like this.

"How if you hatch it and find out what is inside that egg? You can make it your friend and maybe your partner."-Roubaul

"Ooh, that sounds good. Do you want to keep it?"-Ben

"Yes, i will take care of it."-Wendy get very happy

"Then you need to focus on it i think. You can skip your training until it hatch, just make sure that egg didn't break!"-Ben rub Wendy's hair

"Okay~."-Wendy
