Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

"I thought Daddy didn't want Nana anymore."

"How could that be? Dad is just too busy. He'll stay a little longer this time. Starting tomorrow, Dad will take you out to play every day after school, okay?"

"Great! Daddy's the best! Boo~"

Children are so easy to coax. Jia Long made a promise on the spur of the moment, and Athena became happy. She no longer felt awkward at all and snuggled up to Jia Long, giving him a big kiss.

"Come on, Tsunade, Nana, let me introduce you..."

After calming Athena down, Jia Long introduced Suzaku, Chang'e, and the Celestial Hound to Tsunade and Athena.

Upon hearing that Suzaku, Chang'e, and the Jade Rabbit were Celestial Warriors from the Dao Domain, while Marin and Shaina were candidate Saints, Tsunade immediately showed a serious expression and began chatting enthusiastically with the girls.

Athena's attention, however, was on Chun-Li. The two little girls looked about the same age, and after looking at each other for a while, they started playing together.

Jia Long had told Suzaku and the other girls about the situation in Konoha on the way.

Therefore, the girls were not surprised by the appearance of Tsunade and Athena. Although they were somewhat shocked by Tsunade's formidable appearance, they did not show much abnormality, as they were also confident in their looks.

"Hmph, it's just big."

Both Zhuque and Chang'e showed great affection towards Athena, Jia Long's adopted daughter, since, in a sense, they could be considered Athena's aunts.

Enter the Wood Shadow Building.

Seeing that Athena's eyes were constantly lingering on the silly-looking dog, Jia Long simply let her and Chun Li take the dog out to play.

Jia Long then recounted his experiences during this period to Tsunade.

Upon hearing that the land was in peril, Jia Long decided to form the Goddess Alliance to deal with it. Tsunade, who had a strong sense of justice, immediately expressed her desire to join the Goddess Alliance and was ready to contribute her strength to protect the land.

Jia Long readily agreed. He had originally wanted to bring Tsunade in, as her presence would make many things easier for the Goddess Alliance.

For example, the temporary headquarters could be set up in the Kingdom of Yama.

Tsunade also told Jia Long about the situation in the Yama Kingdom. The Yama Kingdom had been generally peaceful during this period. Although some strange fighters had appeared, they were all dealt with by Milo, who was stationed there.

The Twin Orphanage is also thriving, and has recently adopted several new orphans, one of whom was on the list that Jia Long gave to Tsunade.

"This child is also related to Kido Mitsumasa. He was born in the Ice Region. His mother brought him to recognize her relatives, but they encountered a shipwreck on the way. Fortunately, they were rescued by a merchant ship of the Soro family. Later, the child finally made it to the Yama Kingdom. However, Kido Mitsumasa ignored him and only asked someone to send him to our orphanage because of his mother's kindness."

"By the way, this child's name is Hyoga..."

Chapter 278 Competition! Five Strong Children VS Five Weak Children

The next morning, Jia Long brought Athena to the Twin Orphanage.

Along with Athena was Chun-Li, who had changed into a brand-new school uniform. It was her first time going to school, and the little girl was a bit nervous and scared.

"Brother Jia Long, is it okay if I don't go to school?"

"No."

"But Grandpa Tong Hu said that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent."

"Your Grandpa Tong Hu is still living in ancient times. In this era, women also need to be educated. If you want to become a Saint Seiya, you need to be educated even more. Those who don't even understand F=MV will eventually be eliminated by the times."

Jalong, who studied under Albiot, was a staunch scientist and Saint Seiya practitioner. Therefore, he had very high cultural requirements for the Bronze Saints and even Athena. He was determined not to let them undergo Saint Seiya training until they had completed elementary school.

In Jia Long's view, learning is not only to help with cultivation, but more importantly, to cultivate an independent way of thinking.

In the comics, the Bronze Saints are increasingly behaving like summoned beasts, which is a disadvantage due to their lack of education, since they were sent to train as Saints from a young age.

Now, Jia Long will certainly not let them repeat the same mistakes.

He had high hopes for these stubborn bronze warriors who possessed an indomitable spirit.

"Chunli, he's right. Even fighters need to be cultured."

The Jade Rabbit chimed in from the side, "Back in the day, your teacher also started his cultivation journey with academic subjects. Besides, if you can't even read, how will you be able to travel the world with me in the future?"

"Did the teacher go to school back then?"

"Of course, I'm still the class's recognized top student!"

Hearing her teacher say this, Chun-Li immediately stopped resisting and obediently followed Athena into the orphanage.

"This girl..."

Seeing that Chunli had finally listened to his advice, Jia Long couldn't help but look at the Jade Rabbit: "You really do have a way."

"Of course, I am her teacher."

The Jade Rabbit smiled smugly, then seemed to remember something and secretly asked Jia Long, "By the way, what is F=MV?"

Jia Long was taken aback: "You don't even know this? Aren't you a top student?"

"I'm an outstanding athlete!"

……

Enter the Twin Orphanage.

As is customary, Jia Long visited the children.

But he didn't rush to leave afterwards.

The orphanage is holding a five-a-side soccer match today, with the two sides being the five strong players led by Ikki and the five weak players led by Jabu.

This piqued Jia Long's interest, and he decided to stay and watch the match, and also to assess the condition of Xiao Qiang and Xiao Ruo, so that he could provide them with more targeted training in the future.

The stadium at the Twin Orphanage.

Jia Long's appearance made the match the focus of attention.

In fact, even without Jia Long, this competition was the focus of all the children in the orphanage, because in the past year, the two major forces in the Twin Orphanage, the Na Team and the Elephant Team, have gone from going their own way to fighting each other.

The reason was that Athena had grown up a lot and she couldn't stand Ikki and the others always dancing the elephant dance.

However, Ikki and the others insisted on dancing because this dance was the symbol of their Elephant Band.

This escalated the conflict between the two sides.

This football match can be said to be a decisive one, and everyone, including the five strongest teams, the five weakest teams, and even Athena who didn't play, took it very seriously.

"My dad is watching the game, you absolutely cannot embarrass me!"

Although Athena didn't participate, she still exuded a powerful aura as she lectured the five weaklings. She held a small leather whip that she had somehow acquired, looking both cute and fierce as she prepared to whip anyone who misbehaved.

Unfortunately, the five weaklings fell for this trick.

"Don't worry, Sister Nana, I, Evil Warrior, will make Ikki and the others understand the rules!"

With Xie Wu patting his chest in a show of support, the other children, Shi, Man, Xi, and Na Zhi, all chimed in. In an instant, the morale of the Na Tian Team soared, and they glared menacingly at their rival, the Elephant Tian Team.

"We will not yield!"

"To protect the honor of our Elephant Team!"

On the other side, Ikki and his friends were also getting ready to fight. Seiya and Asuna's group were making faces, and Shiryu even took off his clothes to provoke them. The one jumping the most was Shun, the weakest of them all, who was always trying his best to follow in his brother's footsteps.

On the contrary, Hyoga, who had just joined the Elephant Team, was not very interested.

"Hmph, what a boring competition. If I didn't find the arrogant attitude of the Na Tian Group unbearable, I, Hyoga, would never participate in this childish, acrobatic game!"

The game starts soon.

With a flick of Athena's whip from the sidelines, Jabu, having received the order, suddenly kicked the ball, then led Ichi, Ban, and Nachi, roaring as they charged toward the opponent's goal.

Since it was a five-a-side football match, the pace was very fast. In just a few passes, Xie Wu brought the ball to the front of the goal and shot it towards the goal.

"Bang~"

Zilong made a desperate dive in front of the goal, and the ball was pushed away by him, hitting the referee's face hard and bouncing out of bounds.

"Ouch!"

The referee was none other than Julian, who was disliked by everyone in the orphanage.

Of course, it was precisely because Julian was disliked that the children pushed him out to be the referee for this match. After all, being the referee could very well offend both the Na Team and the Elephant Team at the same time.

Julian was also unwilling to take the position.

But he couldn't persuade the other children otherwise.

really.

Right at the start of the game, he was hit in the face by a football. Before he could even get up, the two supergroups had already come after him aggressively.

"Julian, what kind of referee are you? You're deliberately trying to stop us from getting a rebound shot!"

"Julian, Seiya is right behind you! He could have caught Shiryu's pass and launched a counterattack! Give us an explanation!"

"I...I didn't mean it."

Julian had long been bullied by the two major groups, so he could only grimace and admit defeat, fearing that these two bad guys would settle scores with him after the match.

"Let's skip this one, kick off!"

Fortunately, the two top teams were focused on the game and didn't argue with him too much. After a few complaints, they urged Julian to start the game quickly.

With Julian having placed the ball, the match between the two super teams continued.

Overall, the five strongest players had the advantage in stamina and technique. However, the weaker players had Athena overseeing the battle, which allowed them to perform at a level far exceeding their usual level. The two sides played back and forth, making for a very exciting match.

The two sides ultimately drew 3-3.

"It's interesting."

In the audience, Jia Long smiled upon seeing the result, and he had a general idea of ​​how to cultivate these Bronze players whom he valued in the future.

"Seiya and his friends are indeed very promising. Even without Athena, they won't be too weak in the future. As for Jabu and his friends, although their potential is average, they are very reliant on Athena's encouragement. Perhaps, it wouldn't be bad to have two Bronze Teams competing against each other in the future..."

Chapter 279 The Descent of the Gods! Athena is such a filial child.

In fact, Jia Long had always been curious about whether Seiya could grow into someone who dared to punch the gods after leaving Athena.

Hard to say.

Logically, this is impossible, because in the manga, apart from Shun who has the power of Hades, the growth of the other four main characters was all brought up by Athena, especially Seiya, who has a deep bond with Athena.

But it's entirely possible, after all, there are many legends about Pegasus, and the warriors of this constellation are born with the mission of rebelling against the gods.

What's more, his name is... Seiya!
