Type-Moon Greece, I really don't want to be a hero!

When Hephaestus whispered this to Jason, he subconsciously reached out and touched the side of his face covered with a pitch-black half-mask.

"Yes, Goddess Hephaestus."

Jason looked at her and said word by word, "It is my great honor to be your student! So... Goddess Hephaestus, would you accept me as your student?"

"...If you really wanted to be my student, you would have come to me a long time ago instead of waiting until now."

Hephaestus lowered his hand, chuckled softly, and said, “What you offered me was not something you would create in the future.

It's the concept of 'my students'...right?"

"I sincerely want to be your student, Goddess Hephaestus." Jason cleverly avoided the question... He was not surprised that Hephaestus guessed it, because he had actually made it very obvious.

After all, there must be no lies when dealing with the goddess Hephaestus!

"Because I believe that would... be very convenient!" Jason said, winking at Hephaestus.

Hephaestus was speechless upon hearing this, but the corners of his mouth were raised again.

Then he stretched out his hand, motioning Jason to come over, and after he came over, he pinched Jason's face.

"Have you told your teacher Hecate about this?"

"Don't worry, Goddess Hephaestus. Teacher Hecate won't mind."

"...If you get blamed then, I won't care."

"Then..." Hearing this, Jason was slightly stunned and looked at Hephaestus with surprise and said, "Goddess Hephaestus, what do you mean?"

"Still calling me goddess?" Hephaestus smiled and pinched Jason's face again.

Then, after Jason called her "teacher," she couldn't help but hold Jason in her arms...

......

......

The next day, Hephaestus accepted a disciple.

The fact that her apprentice was Jason was quickly heard by Athena and Hermes, the messenger of the gods!

So soon, Artemis, the moon goddess, Apollo, the sun god, Hestia, the fire goddess, and Demeter, the harvest goddess.

Even Hades, the god of the underworld, Zeus, the king of gods, and Poseidon, the god of the sea, who were far away in the underworld, knew about this.

In the end, besides the god of war Ares and the queen of heaven Hera, even the goddess of beauty Aphrodite knew about it!

He knew that Jason became Hephaestus's disciple, and he also knew about the agreement between Jason and Hephaestus.

That is no matter how many days and months it takes, no matter how many years it takes.

Even if it takes her entire life, Jason will definitely offer her share of tribute to Hephaestus in person in the future!

And this time, although there was no tribute like the one from the moon goddess Artemis, many gods who knew about this matter felt two words - amazing!

But this time, many gods felt two other words - envy!

Especially Hestia and Artemis, even Athena couldn't help but feel jealous...

Because they also want Jason's child!

The three of them had clearly expressed what they wanted.

But in the end, no one expected that Hephaestus would get it first!

And no matter how long it takes, even if it’s a few years, hundreds of years or even a lifetime...listen, listen!

“…very clever.”

Athena's rapid breathing caused her upper body to rise and fall. She silently exerted force to make the harp in her hand, which had already shown a crack, crack.

A deeper crack has emerged...

"Months, years, even centuries, a lifetime—this is actually what Hephaestus wants most... It seems he has completely understood the oracle I gave him.

And he also received the most precious gift from Hephaestus, the art of forging bestowed by the god of craftsmen..."

Athena said softly, a look of satisfaction on her face, but more of a look of turmoil...

All of this can be said to be the result of Athena's efforts.

Her original goal was to let Jason grow step by step and become more and more dazzling.

Therefore Athena should be happy.

But now she... really can't be happy!

Because obviously, apart from Hecate, she was the first one!

As for Hera? She was a different matter, of course.

......

......

"Hekate, Hekate, your students are gone, your students are gone!"

After learning from Hades that Jason had become Hephaestus's disciple, Persephone naturally came to Hecate immediately.

In the laboratory, Hecate, dressed in black, looked helplessly at the experiment in front of her that had once again exploded.

Then he brought Persephone in with great dissatisfaction.

"What are you yelling about?"

Hecate frowned and looked at Persephone, saying, "What student of mine is gone... Isn't Jason's life flame still burning?"

Although Medea was also Hecate's apprentice, it was obvious that Hecate never thought that there was a problem with Medea.

Because if there's any trouble, there's absolutely no problem throwing it at Jason!

"No, little Jason is not in danger, but Hecate is gone, your student is gone, and he doesn't want you as a teacher anymore!"

"What?!" Hecate was shocked at first, then said with surprise: "There is such a good thing?!"

"......ha?"

Persephone, who was about to tease Hecate, was stunned by this.

Then, Persephone couldn't help but sigh, "Hecate, your opinion of little Jason... is as strong as ever."

"Nonsense, he's just an evil disciple. If he were gone, I'd probably set off some fireworks to celebrate!"

Hecate curled her lips, waved her hand and said, "Alright, stop messing around. Tell me what my evil disciple has done... As for what's gone, that's impossible!

Because my evil disciple will never let me go as long as he is still alive!"

Seeing Hecate's decisive words, Persephone couldn't help but laugh at Hecate's "trust" in Jason.

“Didn’t I remember him going to Hephaestus?… What, did he mess up again?

Wouldn't he have run into Hera directly and been captured?

If that happens, it will indeed be a bit troublesome, but Hera can't kill him in a short time, so it would be better to let Hera lock him up for a while and let him rest."

"Can you please stop saying that little Jason is only causing trouble?" Persephone was speechless.

Then, he no longer concealed the news and told Hecate that Jason had become Hephaestus's disciple.

And when Hecate learned about this...

"Great news!" Hecate couldn't help but open her eyes wide and said, "This is obviously a great thing!"

"Well, it's a blessing that Jason can become Hephaestus's disciple, but you don't care at all..."

"No, I mean, if he gets into trouble in the future, I don't have to go there immediately!" Hecate interrupted Persephone and said, "Now that he has Hephaestus as his teacher, he won't come to me for everything, right?"

After saying this, Hecate happily returned to the temple under Persephone's speechless gaze.

It was after returning to the temple that the smile on Hecate's face suddenly disappeared and she began to grit her teeth.

"This brat, he just accepted me as his disciple without even consulting me first... What's the meaning? I've always treated you poorly."

"And I haven't even settled the score with you for always using me as a shield when you meet other goddesses... Even if I truly don't care about this evil disciple, this matter can't be let go so easily. He must be taught a lesson!"

Thinking this way, Hecate quietly left the underworld, and then found Athena outside...

Chapter 3: The Gift of Hermes (k)

"cough......"

That night fell.

In her room in the Temple of Hephaestus.

Jason looked at the figure sitting on the bed in the light of the divine fire, her arms as white as lilies and her beautiful golden curls hanging down to her shoulders.

Patting his legs gently, he motioned Jason to lie over. Hephaestus, who was dressed in simple white clothes but still extraordinarily beautiful... Hephaestus was, after all, the child of Hera, the Queen of Heaven, and Zeus, the King of Gods.

If she takes off the dark mask that covers half of her face, she is obviously still a beautiful goddess who is not much inferior to other goddesses.

"Goddess Hephaestus..."

"It's the teacher," Hephaestus corrected gently, emphasizing.

"Then Mr. Hephaestus, um... I will definitely sleep. I promise you, I will sleep well!"

Hephaestus looked directly at Jason with his amber eyes, and after a moment he said softly, "Athena, Hestia, and the moon goddess Artemis..."

"No, Lady Artemis didn't, Lady Artemis really didn't!" Jason quickly denied.

Hephaestus paused for a moment, then continued with a look of inconsiderateness, "But you have given tribute to Artemis, and you have not yet given me my tribute."

Hearing this, Jason opened his eyes wide and looked at Hephaestus in disbelief.

Under Jason's gaze, Hephaestus lowered his head slightly and looked away...

"And Hecate... I am also your teacher now, or do you not actually admit it..."

"Stop, Teacher Hephaestus, stop talking. I was wrong. I know. I'm really wrong!" Jason raised his hand, then helplessly came to Hephaestus' legs and lay down.

In response to this, after Jason lay down, Hephaestus couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, and then his white fingers gently combed Jason's golden hair and stroked him.

Finally, what follows naturally is the goddess's soft singing.

So Jason, with blond hair and blue eyes, dressed in holy white, fell asleep again in the company of the goddess.

But this time, when Jason woke up the next day.

The goddess Hephaestus did not leave like the others, but stayed with Jason until he woke up.

When Jason woke up, he looked at Hephaestus, who was bathed in the morning sun with golden hair hanging on his shoulders.

Suddenly, the face of Hera, the Queen of Heaven, hidden deep in Jason's memory, emerged in his mind...

Then, Jason immediately got up from Hephaestus's body, and after Jason left, a look of obvious regret flashed across Hephaestus' face.

"Ahem, um... Mr. Hephaestus, can you teach me how to forge it today?"

Jason quickly changed the subject.

Hephaestus shook his head slightly and said, "Probably not... but if you really want to learn, I can drive him away."

Hearing this, Jason couldn't help but look puzzled.

But soon, this doubt was answered.

"Yo!"

In the hall, Hermes, the blond god wearing a feather hat, greeted Jason with a smile and said, "Long time no see...ah, actually, it's only been a few days.

But I never thought you would choose Hephaestus as your teacher. If Hera, the Queen of Heaven, knew about this... Ugh."

As Hermes spoke, he looked at Jason and Hephaestus in front of him, and the image of the elegantly dressed, graceful and beautiful Queen Hera appeared in his mind again.

The scene of him stamping his feet in anger in the temple...

Because before Hephaestus came to Mount Olympus, he did something that almost angered Hera to death.

And he also began to hate and fear Hephaestus...

In the past, Hephaestus once made an extremely beautiful throne that was completely in line with the identity of Queen Hera.
