I, Jason, must become a socialite!

[A/N: a more common term for socialite is 'social butterfly']

After a few days.

Morning.

In the middle of a primitive jungle not far away from Mount Pelion.

Near a clear stream flowing from the mountain, two healthy wild deers are cheerfully drinking from the mountain stream while showering in the cool spring breeze.

But their satisfaction is short-lived because in a bush far away two people can be seen hiding in it.

Among the two people, one of them is blond Jason!

But the other one is a few years older than Jason and is also studying under Teacher Chiron in the Mount Pelion- Heracles!

Heracles, a champion of the Olympian order against chthonic monsters, in modern Rome and the modern West is known as Heracles, the illegitimate son of Greek God King Zeus, and in the future, his name has spread much wider compared with Jason's.

Is the future, the one believed to be the greatest hero of Greek mythology!

Even if one considers every hero from the entire Greek Age of God, by strength, Heracles can surely stand among the top three!

At this moment, Heracles's eyes are closely watching both wild deers in the distance.

He slowly raised the hunting bow in his hands and pulled it to the shape of a full moon!

And on the bow, two sharp arrows are mounted.

After drinking water, just when two wild deers were about to rush into the woods...

'whiz!'

Only the sound of sharp arrows crossing the air was heard and two wild deers fell in response to it.

"You really are awesome, Brother Heracles!"

Watching this, Jason stepped out from the shadow of bushes and praised Heracles, who is only a few years older than him but already two meters tall before even reaching sixteen.

"These two deers are obviously not in the same direction but you can still kill them simultaneously... looks like tonight we can feast on venison!"

Heracles shrugged his head, obviously somewhat not used to listening to others' praise, and then seriously replied to Jason: "It's nothing; moreover, if you are willing to learn, I believe you can do it too!"

"Because even Teacher Chiron has mentioned that you have a strong potential, as long as you want, you will surely become a great hero in the future!"

"Forget it, I am not interested in becoming a hero." Jason waved his hand and with a smile, said to Heracles: "I think it's fine now... moreover, we have already reached an agreement, when Senior Brother you and others will become great heroes in the future, you all will protect me!"

"... You can rest assured; when I become a hero in the future, I will surely protect you!" Heracles replied earnestly but at the same time, looking at Jason's expression, he felt helpless.

Because Teacher Chiron has given him the duty of directing Jason towards the 'right path'.

But after getting along for several days, Heracles has clearly understood that this duty is... difficult!

Immediately after Jason stepped in to help in loading the bodies of both wild deers on Heracles, both started the return journey.

And after some time, they returned to Mount Pelion.

"Jason, you are back."

Immediately after they entered, a handsome man, named Meleager, similarly a Teacher Chiron's student, also came in.

He will also become one of the Greek heroes in the future, the host of the Calydonian boar hunt, and the one who gave the boar hide to Atalanta despite the opposition from his family.

After greeting Jason with a smile, Meleager looked at Heracles with slight uncertainty. Then, while being slightly cautious, he took one of the wild deer on Heracles's shoulders to his own.

"Thanks," Heracles said.

"It's all right." Meleager shook his head in response.

Upon watching these two people interacting stiffly, Jason was preparing to speak, when his split vision caught the sight of centaur Chiron sitting not far away under a tree shade.

His body stiffened slightly, then as if pretending to not have seen anything, just as he was preparing to slip from here...

"Jason came here... I have a few words to discuss with you."

However, as if Chiron has already seen through his plans, he stopped Jason by directly calling him out.

Jason felt bitter inside, but can only arrive in front of Chiron and greet with a smile: "Originally, Teacher Chiron, you are also here; good morning!"

"Good morning." Chiron looked at Jason with a smile; although he has noticed Jason's petty action, he did not point it out and only felt a little amusing.

"I waited here just to confirm with you that are you sure, you only want to learn auxiliary skills like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting?"

"Yes, I hope Teacher can help me with this!" Looking at Jason in front of him, who is nodding seriously, Chiron feels really powerless, but he can only agree and also nod his head.

Chiron believes that it is unmistakably like a rough diamond that only needs a little polishing to emit dazzling light, and due to this very reason, Chiron was even willing to spend every effort.

However, Chiron never expected that regardless of how he persuaded for the last few days, Jason still did not change his mind.

The only thing that can bring him a little consolation is that Jason, who was constantly requesting to leave school just a few days ago, suddenly changed his mind and decided to continue his studies.

Although he is still unwilling to study martial arts, he is at least willing to accept guidance in other aspects.

'Un... come to think of it, when did he think about changing his mind?' Chiron, while thinking like this, watched Jason leave after releasing a relieved sigh, so he naturally saw Heracles and Meleager walking on the same path.

Then, he remembered.

It was after he has brought Jason along with him to see Heracles and his other students, suddenly, Jason changed his mind and decided to stay.

Right, at first, Jason indeed wanted to leave, and get far away from this place that will surely throw in the whirlpool of troubles.

However, when he discovered that at this time other heroes like Heracles, Meleager, Theseus, Peleus, and the others are also here, Jason decided that he does not want to leave.

'Damn, these are thick thighs!'

'Although I do not plan on becoming a hero... no, will definitely not become a hero, I do have to live in this world.'

'That is to survive in Greek when Gods are alive and dangers are everywhere.'

'Therefore, even if I have given up on combative strength, in return, I naturally need to consider developing the network of personal connections.'

'And now, these future dazzling geat heroes have not yet grown up, they are a group of young boys who haven't faced the baptism of society and can be deceived quite easily.'

'At this time if I develop a good relationship with them, then whenever I come across trouble in the future, I just need to yell and Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers will come to my help!'

'So, at a time like that, when great heroes have arrived to rescue me... I am afraid that even some gods might decide to retreat!'

Thinking of this, Jason felt his heart is immediately filled with excitement.

In simple words, Jason has decided to work as a social butterfly, and that too is the biggest social butterfly among all Greek heroes!

And obviously, Chiron has not discovered what Jason wants to do... mainly because even if it kills him, Chiron would not think that Jason, who is not even a teenager, will actually plan something like this!

However, when he saw that all his students, who usually studied in their respective areas and rarely interacted with others, are now gathering under the guidance of Jason.

Even Heracles, who is referred to as 'monster' by many in secret, has gradually begun exchanging with everyone else, and even Mount Pelion has slowly started to become lively, eventually, Chiron also approved of this situation.
