"You are a lot more famous than you think, Ben Cooper...or should I say, the youngest S-Class mage in Fiore's history who wields the power of the Sun Dragon, the Sun's Child, 'Karna'." Makarov told Ben.
"WHAT?! HE IS THAT KARNA?" Mira and Elfman exclaim with shocked expressions.
"Please don't address me by that name. I am not God's son. Bearing Karna's name is too heavy for me." Ben insisted.
"Ben is Ben, Ben is not Karna." Bella nodded while sitting on his head.
"Look, even Bella doesn't like it." Ben said.
"Ha ha, that means people have high hopes for you." Makarov laughed.
"How do you know who I am anyway?" Ben asked.
"Every guild master knows your name. The public may not know your name that well because you are from a small guild. But almost all important figures know your name." Makarov explained.
"You're also the youngest S-Class wizard in recorded history." Ben then heard a new voice. "That increases the attention you receive from others."
It came from a 15 year old boy with spiky brown hair.
Ben's name started to rise after he successfully taught the worst students at the magic school in Clover Town until they became the best in the school. No other school achieved this result, so it gathered a lot of attention.
He gained more attention when he became a S-Class mage. It wasn't that big at first, but after he started to finish his S-Class jobs fast and efficiently, the important figures saw him in a new light.
However, Ben's name was only known by guild masters or other S-Class mages. He never appeared in public while taking jobs. His guild was also small and hidden, so the public never heard his name.
It's different compared to the S-Class mages from big guilds like Fairy Tail. Their youngest S-Class mage, Erza Scarlet, has gathered a lot of public attention since she was promoted.
Fairy Tail was located in a big town, Magnolia. So everything the guild did would be known to the public. So of course, a 15 year old S-Class mage will gather attention from everyone.
Ben shook that thought out of his head and just focused on driving to the forest east of Magnolia. They finally arrived at the doctor's location in the forest. It was a house built inside a giant tree which was very interesting.
Ben took Lisanna out of the car while Makarov knocked on the door. Soon, an old woman with pink hair came out of the tree house. She seemed very unfriendly, but she immediately told them to come inside after seeing the condition of the 3 siblings.
They entered the house and Ben put Lisanna on a bed. The old woman, Porlyusica, checked Lisanna's condition first. Mira and Elfman wait with worried expressions.
"Hmm. This is." Porlyusica said with a frown.
"What is it?" Makarov asked.
"Her soul is not in her body although it is still connected." Porlyusica answered.
The others were surprised and assumed the worst.
"Don't worry, she won't die as long as she continues getting nutrition. But I can't predict when she will wake up again. She's presently in a comatose state." Porlyusica said.
Mira and Elfman slumped down and cried after hearing that.
"How's that possible? I'm certain she didn't receive fatal injuries from the attack." Ben questioned out loud.
"Can you tell me what happened before?" Makarov asked.
Ben nodded and narrated everything. Makarov and Porlyusica's eyes widened after Ben finished explaining. It seemed they knew something, but they weren't certain.
"Mira, Elfman, don't worry. We will find a way to save Lisanna even though it won't be easy. Don't lose hope or it will really end. At least Lisanna is still alive, so you can find a way to save her." Makarov reassured the siblings.
Mira and Elfman nod weakly. They were happy Lisanna could be saved, but they don't know how, so it made them sad. Ben then crouched down in front of the 2 and put his hands on their heads to pat them.
"Hey, you love your sister, right? If you love her, then don't act like that. Show her that you are strong and will do anything to save her. What she needs now isn't your sadness, but your love and support."
"Nothing ends until it really ends. No matter how hard or how long it will take to save her, as her family, you should never give up. If even you lose hope, who else will be there for her? So be strong!" Ben said while patting their heads and smiling.
Bella flew over to Mira and Elfman, then she patted their heads like Ben did.
"Don't give up! Bella will help you. Bella is strong, right Ben?"
"Yeah, we will help you if you need our help." He nodded.
Mira and Elfman finally realize it and their spirits were lifted. Ben was right, it hasn't ended for them. As long as Lisanna is still alive, they will be able to save her.
Makarov and Porlyusica smile after seeing what happened. They're glad that the siblings calmed down, but they were also surprised by Ben. He was very mature despite being younger than Elfman.
After calming Mira and Elfman down, Ben stood up to leave. He can't do anything here, so he should leave now. Makarov and Porlyusica would be able to handle the other things, so he will leave it to them.
"Master Makarov, I will take my leave now. I need to report the anomaly to the Magic Council. It's my job." Ben told Makarov.
"Alright, I understand. Thank you for your help, little Ben." Makarov said.
Ben nodded and exited the tree house. He walked up to his car, but suddenly Mira came out and called his name.
"Hey!" Mira called out to him.
"What is it?" Ben asked after turning around.
"T-thanks. Thanks for saving us. I don't know what would've happened if you didn't step in." Mira shyly said while looking down.
"You're welcome." Ben smiled and patted her head again.
Mira blushed and flicked Ben's hand away from her head. "Stop it! I'm not a kid anymore."
"Hmm? Ah, sorry, it's a habit. My little sisters like it, so I always do it." Ben said.
Bella nodded in agreement because the little sisters he mentioned were her, Wendy and Carla.
"Humph, I'm not your sister, and I'm older than you, so don't treat me like that!" Mira shouted while looking away.
"Alright, I'm sorry. But you also shouldn't keep acting like an angry kid. It causes your charm to disappear. I'm sure you will look more beautiful if you smile." Ben said while smiling and patting Mira's head again to tease her.
"I-I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT AGAIN!" Mira yelled while backing off with a red face.
"Ha ha." Ben just laughed and turned around to leave.
Ben walked to his car while waving to Mira. He didn't realize that her face had turned red and her head was steaming. She put her hands on her head and rubbed it lightly while pouting.
"I'm not a kid anymore." Mira grumbled with a weak voice.
Mira then looked at Ben who drove away in his car. Ben and Bella wave at her from the car. Mira raised her hands a little and waved back. A thin smile can also be seen on her face.
Mira looked at the departing with a smile.
"Thanks, Ben." She whispered.
