Ben started to practice with his Sun Dragon Slayer Magic's gravity element. He learned the theory but hadn't tried it at all. So at least he knew what to do and the concept behind the gravity element.
A.I Chip told him that he needed to learn about fire, light and heat first because they form the plasma. It's also because gravity was a lot harder to use then the others.
A.I Chip also told him to find as much gravity references as possible. But it was very hard to find books on gravity magic even in the school library.
He only found 6 books about gravity magic so far. All of them were just basic and only available in the school library. He didn't find any in a public magic book store. Even Roubaul didn't understand a lot about gravity magic.
The Sun Dragon Slayer Magic manual in A.I Chip's database has more information than the books he found. But the books contained some information that the manual didn't have.
A.I Chip transferred all the information to Ben's brain. Ben needed an hour to process all that information. Then he tried to use Gravity Magic.
He started from the basic spell which was pulling a object to his hand. He tried it on a cloth because it was light and small. He won't start with a heavy object on his first attempt.
"Sun Dragon Attraction!" Ben used the spell and a magic circle formed on his right hand. Then he pointed it at the small piece of cloth on the ground. The cloth then moved towards Ben's hand and finally flew into it.
"Ooh, it's very interesting. I think I like this gravity element already." Ben said with a wide smile.
He tried it on heavier objects until he found his limit. The max weight he can lift is 50 kg. Well, he did just start using the magic, so he can't pull something that's really heavy at the moment.
Then Ben tried using another spell that has a wide area of effect. This spell increases the planet's gravity in a area. So it will pull anything in that area down.
"Sun Dragon Authority!" Ben tried it and he could use it within 5 meters with him as the center. As the person using the magic, he doesn't feel a change with the gravity. But A.I Chip calculated that the spell increased the gravity by 20%.
This spell can be used around him or another place he aimed at. He can also choose to have the gravity affect him. It's quite versatile, as long as he mastered it and can use it freely.
The spell's name was also quite unique, Sun Dragon Authority. It was given that name by Escanor because anyone who entered the domain of his gravity spell would be pulled down by it. They would bow down, hence the name Authority.
It was the representation of Escanor's pride in his power. Escanor was a very prideful dragon who fully believed in his power. He believed that he was the strongest among the dragons, but it was true even to this day.
At least that's what Ben read from A.I Chip's narration of Escanor. He didn't know if it was a coincidence or not. But this Escanor was similar to the Escanor from Seven Deadly Sins. Both of them are very prideful with their power, and they are the strongest among their kin.
"Hmm, maybe it's the multiverse theory where there are many versions of someone in a different universe? Ugh, it's confusing, let's just forget about it." Ben said.
Ben then asked Bella and Carla to throw rocks of the same size in the area of the spell and the outside area. Bella threw a rock in the spell area while Carla is on the outside. They throw it with the same amount of force and the ones that enter the area of the spell fall noticeably faster.
"Even 20% addition has shown a change. It's just a fifth of the normal gravity, not even double of it. If I can make 10 times the gravity, then it will be very heavy." Ben said after analyzing the spell's effect.
The sun's gravity was higher than the planet's gravity. It can even cause the planets in the solar system to move around it. If Ben could utilize the full gravity of the sun, then he could even pull the moon down.
"Maybe I'm exaggerating, but it seems possible with the full power of the sun's gravity. I don't know how long I will need to train and reach that level though."
Ben shook that thought out of his head and resumed training. He kept using the spell and improve his area of effect and power. He reached his limit at 15 meters and 2 times the gravity, or 100% addition.
He still had a lot of magic power left, so Ben tried the last basic spell that he needed to learn. This spell is a dragon and Dragon Slayer's signature move. Ben gathered magic power in his mouth and created a magic circle in front of it.
Ben took a deep breath. "Sun Dragon Gravity Roar!"
Ben roared and spewed out black and purple energy from his mouth. He aimed the roar at the forest and it hit the trees. The trees were destroyed and the surrounding trees were also affected even though they weren't hit.
When Ben finished using his spell, he asked A.I Chip a question, "Why's it affecting the surrounding trees?"
[It's because of the gravity. The gravity in your roar pulls the surrounding objects just like how gravity does.]
"Oh, so if got stronger, it could affect a wider area too?" Ben asked.
[Yes, but the effect will not be as big as the other spells that are used purely to affect a wide area.]
"Hmm, so now I have fire, heat, light and gravity. I can also use plasma by combining fire, light and heat. Damn, 4 basic elements and 1 combination element at once. No wonder you advised me not to use the Heat Dragon Lacrima." Ben said.
[That's right. You already have many things to learn. You can't take more or it will limit your power's growth. You also need to know you can combine your gravity with the other elements and create the perfect sun power.]
"You mean my solar power isn't perfect yet?" Ben asked.
[Correct.]
"I thought I was good enough." He sighed.
Ben continued to use his Sun Dragon Gravity Roar until he ran out of magic power. His Gravity Roar was weaker than the other roars. But he thought that this gravity power was more interesting because it's extremely rare.
After his training, Ben learned the other advanced gravity spells that he couldn't train with currently. All those spells were interesting and he wanted to try them out soon. But he knew he had to focus on the basics and strengthen his foundation.
So now Ben came up with the plan to train his gravity element as fast as he can. But he still prioritized the strong foundation and not just improving quickly. If he ignored the foundation, his power will be fragile.
He came up with the plan together with A.I Chip. Together with A.I Chip, he can plan the best steps to learn this gravity element. Of course, he doesn't forget about the training of his physique and other elements. All of those were important to him, so he also added them to his plan.
Ben finished coming up with the plan and from that day on, his hard training began. It's like repeating the 2 years where all he did was train. But now he still did other things like going on jobs and playing. It's just that he trained a lot more than usual.
Ben trained, went on jobs and played with the girls. He trained Tuesday to Friday, played with the girls on Sunday and went on jobs on Monday and Saturday.
On Monday, he taught at the magic school while on Saturday, he goes on a solo job. Ben went on a solo job almost every week, not once every 2 weeks. He used the solo job to train.
His training jobs were going well. He can solve the problems that he faced on his jobs and during training. Then 5 months after he began practicing with the gravity element, some news came from the magic school. They would hold a graduation exam.
