Bab 266: 266. Incoming Days
After winning the 1st Grand Magic Games, Fairy Tail becomes very busy. Job quests flooded into their guild and they need to keep taking them or their guild's reputation will plummet. There are too many quests including S-Class jobs so Ben needs to take them and leaves the guild management to the officials.
Only Ben & Mira can take S-Class jobs so they are very busy. They take some young Mages in their jobs to give them experience. It will also make the young Mages realize just how difficult S-Class jobs are.
Not only the jobs that increase, but also Mages who applied to their guild. A lot of Mages want to join Fairy Tail so Ben is super busy. He needs to take jobs while also screening the applicants. He needs to be thorough at the screening because he doesn't want any spies to enter the guild.
There are tens of applicants but Ben only accepts 13 young Mages. He has checked them thoroughly from their background and history. He also uses Lie Detector Magic to check if they lie in the screening and if they are clean.
Furthermore, he only accepts young Mages because they still have time to grow. Most of them are weak, far weaker than the older applicants with a lot of experience. But they have a higher potential to grow as they are still young.
Their Mages' growth potential is important for Fairy Tail's future. These young Mages are the ones who will carry Fairy Tail's name in the future. Older Mages might retire in a few years but the young ones might stay for more than 20 years before they retire.
The jobs and applicants number finally return to normal after 3 months. Ben needs to admit that he underestimated the Grand Magic Games' effect too much. Luckily, it doesn't last for a whole year or they will collapse while their guild grows.
Time passes and later that year, Bisca gives birth to a daughter. Alzack & Bisca name her Asuka Connel. They take the name from Alzack & Bisca, but it sounds Japanese, well, maybe it is, whatever.
(A.n: I made Asuka's birth a year later than the canon. She is 6 y.o at year x791, so she was born at x785, but the current year is x786. Think of it as an effect of the changes that were made. Certainly not because I messed up, remember that.)
After Asuka gets born, Mira carries her very often and keeps showing her to Ben while saying that a baby is cute. He knows why she does that but he acts as if he doesn't know and just agrees that Asuka is cute.
It makes Mira disappointed and Ben is sorry for that. But he still won't agree to have a baby now even if Mira asks him directly. They haven't even married yet so having a baby now is out of the question.
Ben is still 19 now while Mira is 21. For him, they are still too young to have a kid. At the very least, he wants to be 21 y.o before he has a kid. Besides, they are still very busy managing their guild so they can't take care of a kid yet.
Time passes again and the next year, the Wizard Saint competition is being held again. But now it is held in another Nation, The Country of Seven. The tournament winner is the Plant Mage woman who competed against Ben for the Wizard Saint position 2 years ago.
She challenges Ben for the title match and as predicted, she lost again. He only needs 5 minutes to win the match and he is still holding back. Both of them have improved in the last 2 years but Ben's improvement is faster than hers.
A month after the Wizard Saint tournament, Ben opens his magic car manufacturing company. His company's name is simple, it's Cooper Corp. Yeah, very simple and uncreative. But well, it will be his family's business, so he just uses his family name.
Sometime after that, the 2nd Grand Magic Games start again. For this 2nd competition, Fairy Tail just sends their youngest Mages, literally. They send Romeo, the 3 kids that Ben & Mira saved 2 years ago, and believe it or not, Bella.
Bella has trained seriously since the Tenrou Island incident. She can use various magic now with support-type magic as her specialty. Not only Magic, but Ben has also taught her strategies.
Everyone with a brain knows that Fairy Tail isn't serious about this competition. But surprisingly, the kids almost enter the top 8, showing that they aren't as weak as the people thought. Fairy Tail has trained their young Mages very well, after all.
Well, it's not only their training that levels above the other guilds. Their environment is also levels above the others. The high ethernano density around Fairy Tail's building has boosted their Mages' growth.
Many guilds and even Magic Council have tried to investigate the reason for the high ethernano density around the Fairy Tail building. But no one finds the answer to this day. Some of them even tried to use violence to find the answer but they didn't meet a good ending.
Ben really hates those who tried to harm those who are close to him. So he didn't show them any mercy and destroyed them thoroughly. He didn't kill them, but he made sure that they won't have a happy future.
Most of them get their magic power sealed by Ben so they won't be able to use magic. He used high-level Seal Art that he made together with AI Chip using many Seal Arts. It is very complex that even Seal Masters will need years to break the seal.
After Ben sealed many Mages' magic, no one except idiots dares to mess with Fairy Tail. The Magic Council can't do anything to him too because Ben has their weaknesses. He has many records of corruption in the Magic Council so they can only let Ben does it.
Besides, he also has a lot of evidence that justifies his actions. What he did was just self-defense. If he wanted, he could even kill those people who threaten his guild members. But he didn't kill them and just make them live as normal people, so he is still kind enough.
Then at the end of the year, on December 25th year x787, all Fairy Tail members didn't take any jobs. Ben has instructed them to stop taking any job for a week because they have something important to do. They've also announced that, so there's no incoming job for a week.
All Fairy Tail members go to the river behind their guild. Then suddenly, the water in the center rises and big waves spread everywhere. As the rising water fall, a massive black square metal block can be seen standing on the river, it's a building made out of metal.
A square door opens on the side of the metal building. Then a bridge also rises up from the riverbed and connects the land with the metal building. Most Fairy Tail members cross the bridge and enter the building, only a few stay behind.
Soon, the upper part of the metal building splits open. Then Fairy Tail's airship comes out from the metal building and floats above it. Everyone on the ground waves their hands and then the airship flies away at a high speed.
The white-golden airship flies to the south, toward the sea. It keeps flying before it stops in the middle of the sea. Ben suddenly jumps down from the airship. Strangely, he doesn't show any symptoms of motion sickness even though he was just inside a vehicle other than a car.
Ben floats in the air and looks at the sea below before he closes his eyes. He takes a deep breath and flows his magic power as he extends his hands to the side. His body suddenly glows golden bright and a wide area of the sea below him also glows brightly.
The airship also glows brightly as everyone on it transfers their magic power to Ben. Then Ben clasps his hands and the bright water below him flares up violently. The water level in the bright area suddenly rises and creates big waves that spread everywhere.
Ben then chants, "Fairy Sphere: Deactivate!"
