Gods are indeed unreliable existences!

"Really... so, you have already known."

In the small log cabin of centaur sage Chiron, looking at Jason, whose eyes were full of guilt, Chiron's eyes are still gentle.

I want to change my destiny! ... When Chiron heard these words from Jason, doubts in his heart were naturally resolved.

In fact, Chiron had already guessed it.

After all, being able to know own future destiny in this age, when the gods can freely walk on the earth, is indeed not something uncommon.

Some of the very famous examples of this are Cú Chulainn from Irish mythology and Achilles from Greek Mythology, who shined brightest in the Trojan War, both of them were already aware of their fate.

And it was because Chiron already had some speculation about this that he didn't allow Jason to leave.

After all, by Chiron's character, if Jason had really given up on studying, he would have definitely allowed Jason to follow through with his ideas even if he would have felt regretful.

Indeed, although Jason kept on clamoring for dropping out of the school, he was actually hesitant in his heart.

As a transmigrator, after learning about his name and future fate, he naturally felt afraid but, along with it, also a contrariety.

Although Jason really doesn't want to become a hero because in his opinion it is a tiring job, the place he is currently in is Greece and that too, Greece in the Age of Gods!

Jason is very much aware of the fact that if he wants to live in this world and live a good life, then strength is a must, enough strength to keep him alive!

However, the problem here is that the stronger he is, the more he will attract the attention of Gods; after all, if nothing else, he is Jason, that legendary hero Jason!

He is destined to participate in disputes between gods and heroes.

Therefore, Jason is currently facing a situation that is very delicate and even somewhat contradictory.

Because if Jason became stronger, then due to him being Jason, he will attract more attention from the gods; however, if he doesn't get stronger, then even his survival will become a big issue!

Furthermore, Jason has one more thing to do in the future, after all, he is the son of Aeson, the rightful king of Iolcos.

Although he is not at all familiar with the original Jason's parents because when he arrived here it was time when Jason has already left his parents to become Chiron's student, the memory about them still exist in his mind and he just can't ignore it.

Therefore, now that he has become Jason, he has to take back the rightful throne for Aeson.

And under such a complex situation, the only path Jason has seen so far for changing all this is...

Hecate, the Goddess of Paths!

"Goddess Hecate is the Goddess of Paths, but also the Goddess of Magic... It is indeed a good choice for you to become her appreciate."

After quickly understanding Jason's desire, Chiron gave him affirmation with a smile.

"...Sorry, Teacher Chiron."

"It's alright." Chiron gently shook his head and continued: "You have chosen your own path, as a teacher I am very happy for it, but... don't mention anything about dropping out."

Chiron smiled at Jason and continued: "With the character of Goddess Hecate, she won't care about this minor thing... But the teacher hopes that when you come back, you will grow up with another attitude. At that time, you would have to be mentally prepared because if you can't satisfy me, I will not let you graduate."

Chiron... obviously, is worthy of the title of the wisest teacher in Greece!

Even though he had been Jason for barely a month, he is quite sincere towards his students and which includes Jason.

Even at this moment, he is not angry, rather is feeling happy for Jason from the bottom of his heart.

So, after accompanying Chiron for the evening, Jason arrived on a lonesome and quiet lawn.

Looking at the bright moon hanging under the curtain of the night sky, Jason took out the feather that is exuding deep blue light.

After softly calling Hecate's name, it didn't take long for the light on the feather to become more and more bright and finally, under the dazzling light, Hecate relied on this medium to incarnation in front of Jason.

"Have you thought about it so soon? ... And, why are you here?"

Wearing a long dress like the night sky with long black hair scattered behind her, Hecate, soon discovered the centaur Chiron standing not far away.

"Good evening, Goddess Hecate." Chiron said while respectfully saluting Hecate.

"You are exempt from this, you know I'm not very interested in this set of formalities; moreover, with your identity, you don't have to be so constrained to me."

Hecate waved towards Chiron, then while looking at Jason, she said, "Then tell me your wish."

"It's like this Goddess Hecate... Goddess Hecate, I hope that from now on, I can become your student!"

Looking at Jason in front of her, who just took a deep breath after speaking seriously, Hecate got stunned for a moment: "Become...my student?"

Obviously, such a wish is not in her expected range!

Hecate frowned, then after looking at Jason for a moment, looked at Chiron.

"Please, Goddess Hecate." Jason saluted Hecate again.

"Chiron, you should know, I hate troubles." Hecate spoke bluntly.

"Jason is a very intelligent boy, and I promise you, in the name of my father Cronus and my mother Philyra, that he will never cause you trouble!"

After Chiron finished speaking seriously, Hecate couldn't help but deeply look at him.

Such a guarantee is tantamount to a pledge...

"But I'm not interested." Hecate bluntly continued: "And he doesn't have the corresponding bloodline, so he can't learn magic at all...wait!"

Speaking till here, Hecate suddenly stopped and looked at Jason, then carefully examined him.

"So...it seems like it is a good test piece! After all, I've always wanted to know if my magic is really universal!"

Hecate's eyes began shining.

As a matter of fact, looking over the entire Greek mythology, it can be seen that most heroes and gods mainly focus on developing the divine power brought to them by their own bloodlines, exercising the body, practicing archery, swordsmanship, and other fighting techniques.

But Hecate is truly different from others. She has always studied magic... To be more precise, it is the spells that can exert extraordinary power without using divine power!

In fact, the direction of Hecate's research is obviously correct, otherwise, she would not be sitting in such a position that the other gods don't easily dare to provoke her.

Although Hecate already has two apprentices, both of them are different from Jason.

Circe is actually the daughter of the Sun God Helios and Oceanid Perse, one of the ocean goddesses.

And Circe is Medea's aunt, in other words, the granddaughter of the Sun God Helios and Oceanid Perse.

They possess the bloodline of Gods.

"Okay, I accept this apprentice."

Hecate readily agreed and simultaneously looked at Jason with a favorable impression. She feels that this child is really good and had a great future!

But Jason is regretting it now because he feels like Hecate is looking at him with the same eyes as if looking at a guinea pig...

"Teacher Chiron..."

'Can I regret it?'

Looking at Jason's pitiful expression, Chiron couldn't help smiling and said, "Don't worry, Goddess Hecate is a kind goddess, she won't let anything happen to you...probably."

'Un, anyway it wasn't me who asked him to do this and Jason always wanted to drop out of school, I just never allowed him to.' Chiron said to himself in his heart.

"Don't worry, it will be alright." Then, Hecate added with a smile: "Even if you die, a few times at most, I will talk to Hades and bring you back to life."

"..." Jason became speechless.
