Ben now aimed to be an S-Class mage as soon as possible. If he become an S-Class, he will have access to bigger jobs. S-Class mages will also be able to roam the world easier and allowed to enter some forbidden or dangerous areas. He's getting excited just thinking about that.
Ben didn't realize it, but he has become more and more like a 12 y.o boy. Without any kind of heavy responsibility on his shoulder like when he was a soldier, Ben can enjoy his life more than before. He can become himself, become what he wanted, not what the others wanted.
Of course he still have responsibility to protect his guild and all it's members, especially his team. But he know that they will grow stronger, up to the point where they can protect themselves. He will make sure that they will grow past that point.
'To be an S-Class mage, i didn't just need power, but i need good records. In other word, i need a good resume. Well, it's just a normal way for people to be promoted in any organization.'-Ben think while training in the cave
Ben then calculate what he need to be promoted faster. He know he will reach the minimum power for an S-Class in a year, so he need to make sure he have the needed experience in a year too.
'One job a week, that mean 52 jobs a year. It will be enough if my job get harder and harder. But i doubt i will get dangerous work with Wendy & the cats. It seem i need to take some jobs alone, maybe with Bella because she just won't leave me. It's easier to protect 1 person than protecting 3.'-Ben
Ben decide to take some jobs by himself, and not with his team. He want to get more experience, not just for promotion to S-Class. He also want to have more challenges & adventure. Now he just need to talk with Roubaul, and get his approval.
After his training, Ben go to meet Roubaul and have a private talk. He tell the old man about his thought and what he want. Roubaul just listen to Ben until he finish his talk.
"So you want to take more jobs and get more experience to be an S-Class mage?"-Roubaul
"Yeah, i will still take easier jobs with Wendy every week, but i want to take some more dangerous jobs alone."-Ben
"Did you really want to be an S-Class that fast?"-Roubaul
"Yeah, and it's not just because i want to see the world. You know me, Gramps, and you know my growth. I grew fast last year, but it actually start to get slower lately."-Ben
Ben didn't lie, his growth has become slower lately. Even though he still grew stronger, but it's really slow, not as fast as before. Ben has investigate it, and he know his problem, he lack difficult battle.
"I need battle to grow strong, training won't give me good result anymore. Difficult battle, life & death battle, that's what i need right now, not just training."-Ben
Ben is very serious right now, and Roubaul also looking at him seriously.
"Fine, i will allow it, but i will still choose the job. Also, you can only take it at most 2 times a month. Rest is also important."-Roubaul
"Alright, that's good enough. No one want to keep doing jobs. I need some rest and entertainment."-Ben
"Good, i will find a suitable job for you to do next week. For now, just do your usual things."-Roubaul
Ben nod and leave the room, returning to his house.
"Sigh, this kid's growth is really terrifying that it make me worried. Maybe i need to tell him the truth about this guild soon? No, let's just look at the situation first, i can't be hasty. But, sooner or later he will find something amiss, he is smart after all. Sigh, i am too old for this."-Roubaul
