After Lisanna's soul was returned to her body, Mira and Elfman become a lot livelier. They had been worried about Lisanna the last 2 years, but now she was back. Lisanna told everyone in the guild what had happened to her while they were partying.
She also told them her story when she was in Edolas. Everyone asked about their Edolas counterparts which became a funny conversation because they all have different reactions. Some people were disappointed because they never encountered their counterparts.
After the party, Makarov called Ben to his office. He asked Ben for the full story of what happened in Edolas, including Mystogan. So Ben shared what he knew because the guild master needs to find out about it.
"So another S-Class mage is gone. But he made his choice and I respect it. The biggest problem right now is you." Makarov said.
"What? Why me?" Ben was confused.
"You can modify a magic spell and create one in a short amount of time. That is a good thing, but it's also a problem. If word of this got it, a lot of people would target you." Makarov explained the issue.
"I'm aware of that possibility. That's why I don't tell everyone that I modified a magic spell. I just tell that it's a Black Magic spell I know. Only Mira, Bella and Lisanna know I modified this and I asked them to keep it a secret." Ben said.
"That's good, but you still need to keep your guard up. Those who know a lot of magic spells will think it's suspicious." Makarov cautioned.
"I will just say that Gramps taught it to me. He is a ancient monster, so he knows a lot of things." Ben stated.
"Hmm, you've thought of everything, huh? That's good. Anyway, let's move on to the next topic. Your Wizard Saint invitation." Makarov said.
Ben nodded.
"I've fought about this the last few days while I was in Edolas, master. Just like before, I'm not interested in becoming a Wizard Saint. But I will go to the Council anyway to know what their offers and requirements are. I can already predict what one of the requirements is though." He said.
"What is it?" Makarov asked.
"They'll ask me to leave Fairy Tail. If I stay here, there will be 2 Wizard Saints in a guild. That would make us too strong for them to handle. Not to mention we still have Gildarts. This invitation is a way for them to reduce our power. That's why I assume that their offers will be very tempting for me so I'll take it." Ben remarked.
"So you also think like that, huh? Those people hate Fairy Tail, so that thought came to my mind after I received the invitation. You are still a new member, so they think they can take you easily." Makarov said.
Ben smirked.
"Too bad for them then. I have no intention of leaving as long as my sisters want to stay here." He said.
"So you just follow your sisters?" Makarov asked jokingly.
"Master, my home is where my sisters stay. I promised Gramps I would always be by their side." Ben informed him.
"Ha ha ha, I need to thank Wendy, Carla and Bella liking this guild then." Makarov laughed.
Both of them discuss their plan to visit the Magic Council and a few other things. They'll leave in 2 days because there were some things Makarov needed to take care of. Ben also wanted to rest after returning from Edolas.
After the discussion, they return to the guild hall. They see Wendy casting Heal on Lisanna per Ben's instructions. She will cast Heal on Lisanna every day to increase her recovery rate.
Lisanna's body had remained immobile over the last 2 years. So there were some minor problems with it because it didn't move at all. Her muscles had been weakened these last 2 years and it would take time for it to fully recover.
But with Wendy's help, Lisanna's muscles will return to their normal shape soon. Of course, she also needed to eat a lot of food with high nutritional value. The Heal spell alone won't restore her to full health.
Porlyusica came up with a diet plan for Lisanna and she also made some supplements for her. There was no here that had more medical knowledge than her. Although she kept grumbling when they asked for her help, Ben knew she was happy about Lisanna's recovery.
While waiting for 2 days to pass, Ben worked on what he obtained from Mystogan, Anima. He was interested in Anima because it could take Ethernano from another universe. This was the first time he knew about a magic that transcends universes, so he was definitely interested in this.
Now Ben knew alternate universes exist. Edolas shouldn't be the only one and there must be other universes too. He wants to try finding one or maybe some other universes. His adventurous heart is fluttering right now with this possibility.
That's why he wants to study the Anima thoroughly to know how to find these universe. The problem is he doesn't have any references other than Anima. So it will take a long time for him to get what he wants.
'It seems I need to go back to the Magic Library and try to find other references. But I can't do it at the moment because there will be an important event soon. Master said as that there will be an S-Class exam this December. I don't know if I will be a candidate, but the possibility is high. There's no way I will miss this chance.' Ben thought.
Ben has a lot of confidence that he will become a S-Class mage if he was chosen as a candidate. He can just laze around and he will still become a S-Class mage. After all, he was stronger than Mira and Erza who were already S-Class mages.
But he didn't want to laze around and do nothing. If he wanted to be a S-Class mage in Fairy Tail, he needed to be determined. He will complete many difficult quests and get stronger before the exam starts.
'I need to prepare for any kind of test, even if it meant fighting master or Gildarts. Being a S-Class mage means I can take more difficult jobs. These jobs will help me get stronger, so I need to become a S-Class mage.' Ben thought.
Ben then came up with a training plan before the S-Class exam. What he needed to increase was his magic reserve and also mastery over his magic. His main magic is Dragon Slayer Magic, but he also needed to improve his Devil Slayer Magic and now he also works on non-slayer magic.
Slayer Magic had a lot more power but they require a lot of magic power. That's why he wanted to use the normal version that didn't require a lot of magic power. By having the normal version, he had a lot more options at his disposal during battles.
For the basic elements like fire, light, gravity and heat, Ben already learned about a lot of spells from the Magic Library. But the advanced elements like plasma and solar energy weren't available, so he needed to create them himself.
Fortunately, he had A.I Chip who can help him modify his Slayer Magic. It will be complete before the S-Class exam, so he will have more weapons to be used at that time. Ben doesn't like to rely on what he already has.
This project will delay the Anima project, but it was fine. He was in no rush for the Anima and this project was a priority. Besides, A.I Chip is a fast worker and he'll be done before he realizes it.
2 days passed while Ben worked on this project. Now, it's time for the Magic Council with Makarov for the Wizard Saint issue. They will find out exactly what the Council wants.
