I'm in Type-Moon, how can I let you bully me?

"As for me..."

Russell spoke slowly, with a hint of pleasure in his tone.

"I just feel that watching you, Jason, busying yourself preparing the ship, will ultimately make me the most dazzling hero on this voyage. When people mention this ship, they will simply say it's the one the great hero Sisyphus once rode. The expression on your face will surely be particularly amusing."

"How vicious!?"

Jason was horrified. If this happened, he would definitely become jealous to the point of going crazy and his defenses would be broken.

Asclepius's lip curled again as he suggested, "After finishing my training, I'd like to explore more mountains and forests for herbs. How about we go out on our own, and once we've made a name for ourselves, we can reunite and sail aboard Jason's ship."

"good idea!"

Hercules nodded first, as he was also a little restless.

Jason thought about it and agreed: "I will return to my country first, question the usurper, and take the throne back."

Then, the three of them looked at Russell.

"Sisyphus, where are you going after graduation?"

"As for me..."

......

Inside the cave.

Chiron was preparing his arrows. Without looking up, he could already distinguish the footsteps of the approaching person.

"Sisyphus, are you here?"

"Teacher Chiron, your hearing is really sharp."

He had obviously slowed down his pace deliberately.

Russell looked at the arrow in Chiron's hand, which was emitting a strange light, and asked curiously, "This arrow..."

"This is the graduation gift I'm preparing for Hercules—an indestructible arrow. Almost no person or object in this world can withstand the sharpness of this arrow."

Chiron said with great satisfaction as he looked at the work in front of him.

"This may be the most satisfying arrow I have ever made in my life."

An indestructible arrow?

Russell looked at the arrow in front of him with a complicated expression.

Then, this arrow would be the one that Hercules smeared with the poisonous blood of the Hydra and accidentally killed Chiron, right?

“You are a truly great teacher.”

"Why do you say that suddenly?"

Chiron's originally cheerful smile was now filled with a touch of emotion.

"Actually, I've prepared graduation gifts for Jason, Asclepius, and you, but..."

The Centaur sage had already seen Russell's intention at this moment: "You came here this time, do you want to leave early?"

"A place where we say goodbye to each other isn't really suitable for me. Besides, I might run into trouble."

Russell did not hide it and said so.

Hearing this, Chiron laughed heartily: "Hahahaha, indeed, your devilish charm has attracted many people who have no interest in learning to come to me..."

"Well, since you've made your decision, I'll give you your graduation present first. Just think of it as... a parting gift."

Under Russell's surprised gaze, Chiron took out a box and handed it to Russell.

"This is......"

15. Pandora's Box

An ordinary box.

After Russell took the box, he knew it was an empty box just by weighing it in his hand, without any weight inside.

and......

There is very little mystery in this.

At least, far fewer than the indestructible arrows Chiron was still crafting.

However, Chiron would not give out just any ordinary box as his graduation gift.

Russell thought so, this judgment was not only based on Chiron's character, but also on his favorability on the panel.

[Chiron: 100 (Attention)]

He regards you as his most valued disciple and believes that you will definitely surpass him in every field in the future.

Interestingly, even though the favorability has reached 100, there seems to be room for improvement in the bond with Chiron.

This first-class sage in ancient Greek mythology, the ancestor of Greek heroes, the son of Cronus, turned into Sagittarius after his death, and there are still bonds waiting to be explored.

So......

The box in front of me is very intriguing.

If we were to say that the most famous and precious box in Greek mythology is...

"Could it be that this once belonged to the one named Pandora?"

Pandora's box.

This is what Russell guessed.

A long time ago, perhaps in this Greek era, there was an unknown girl.

She was a replica of a god created by the Olympians, existing only as the key to Pandora's box.

However, this box has a strange setting, which is that it cannot be opened before the destruction of mankind.

And this nameless girl cannot die before the box is opened.

Having gained disguised immortality, she even appeared in the world of the magical girl Illya.

only......

Russell said in a strange tone: "Is it really okay to hand over such a precious thing to me?"

Aren’t things like this treasured by the gods?

It is the gods' hope for the future and the possibility of the world. Even if it is not handed over to the gods for preservation, it should be managed by the unknown girl.

But now, it appeared in the hands of Chiron, who had nothing to do with it.

Isn’t this too strange?

Upon hearing this, Chiron smiled helplessly and said, "Although your guess is correct, I'm curious why you describe this box as so precious."

As Russell looked at him in increasing surprise, Chiron continued to tell the story of the box.

"Legend has it that Zeus placed countless disasters within it, while the goddess Athena placed hope at the very bottom. Another legend says that what is stored here is the gods' hopes for the future, and it can only be opened before the world is destroyed. But..."

Chiron looked at the ordinary box before him and said hesitantly, "Whatever the legend, as far as I know, none of them are particularly accurate. The gods have opened it repeatedly, and there is nothing inside, and it can't hold any hope. And... disaster, or hope, these things don't exist..."

Russell had already heard Chiron's subtext.

So, this box, which has been repeatedly verified by the gods to be useless, would be passed into Chiron's hands?

"So, this is a box you can open at will?"

After thinking about it, Russell slowly opened the famous Pandora's Box in his hand.

Nothing really happened.

Chiron sighed and continued, "I initially thought this box might require a special method of opening to reveal its mystery. But later on, it became difficult to verify. I also considered this as my final gift for you."

"Sisyphus, I see possibility in you, the possibility of surpassing me in every field, the possibility of achieving heroic feats unprecedented and unparalleled. In legend, this box represents possibility, so I give it to you as a gift..."

Having said that, the Centaur sage sighed again.

"Other treasures, whether the sharpest arrows or invisible helmets, are not of great importance. I have faith in you. You will achieve great things with your own strength and wisdom, without the need for any treasures or gods' help!"

"Thank you, Mr. Chiron."

After expressing his sincere thanks, Russell looked at the box in his hand.

Chiron, what a good teacher.

Even he learned a lot from Chiron.

Before, the time I had to obtain Uruk's bonds was too short, especially the complete bonds I obtained after the final battle, and I didn't have much time to fine-tune them.

But here in Chiron, everything can be absorbed at the fastest and most perfect rate.

Moreover, this box might not be empty.

The setting of Pandora's Box represents the hope and possibility of the world that is locked inside.

Hope itself is a possibility.

Therefore, the most important thing is "possibility".

And now, because the box is empty and there is no residue at all, Russell has already made a guess.

When the Divine Savior enters the root and flows out of its reason, the possibilities of the world are fixed.

Transform the world with Russell's ideas and cover the world with Russell's theories.

All possibilities have been decided by Russell.

Then, what is stored in the box, the gods' hopes for the world, that is, the possibilities of the world, is naturally empty.

This is Russell's guess.

He put the magic box in his arms and said his final goodbye to Chiron.

"Teacher Chiron, perhaps the box has already been opened, and the so-called hope has already arrived."

"Really? Then I'll be looking forward to the day when that hope appears and changes the world."

"Well, goodbye, Mr. Chiron."

"Goodbye, Sisyphus."

......

"Where should we go next?"

Russell, who was bored while walking in the mountains and forests, came up with the answer after thinking about it.

Throw a branch to ask for directions!

After picking up a dead branch on the ground, Russell threw it high up, waiting for it to indicate a direction.

"There?"

After determining the direction, Russell walked while checking the new bond bonus.

Chiron: 100

【Rank1、Rank2、Rank3、Rank4、Rank5开启】

Teacher Chiron, this may also be your graduation gift to me.

Rank 1. Son of Kronos. As the son of the God King and the Island Goddess, he possesses almost the highest divinity.

Your divinity is thereby increased, your attributes are thereby increased, and your immortality is thereby increased.

"I haven't yet sacrificed my immortality to the Hydra's venom, so by gaining this bond, my divinity has also increased?"

P.S. There are so many versions of Greek mythology, I could only choose a few, and then add some changes to the Type-Moon world's own story...
