I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

He was told by Chiron to train with Chiron for survival confrontation.

"Teacher, I didn't doubt what you meant. Aren't we learning bows and arrows? How did it have something to do with survival confrontation?"

Serius raised his head and stared at the centaur sage with his confused little eyes. He was a little puzzled by the development of the matter.

"When facing the enemy, you must first let yourself survive before you have a chance to shoot the arrow in your hand."

This is how Chiron explained it to the students.But his words made Seleus even more confused.

"In that case, wouldn't it be better to teach me Pancrasin directly?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the young Serius saw his teacher turn his head and look at him with a strange smile.

"This survival confrontation training is to teach you Pancrasin's skills, but, compared to mechanical and step-by-step teaching, I think the way of letting the body form muscle memory is more suitable for you..."

......

Seleus, who was distracted, didn't realize that Chiron had appeared in front of him at all.

Chiron made good use of the tree trunk to hide his figure, and with years of experience in teaching students, he could easily tell that Serius had lost his mind during this confrontation.

"Are you distracted during the battle? This is a taboo for soldiers."

Chiron felt that he had to teach his students an unforgettable lesson. If this situation was not corrected in time, it would very likely cost Seleus his life in the future.

You must know that the immortality obtained by being soaked in the water of the Styx River is far from being invincible in the era of gods.

Chiron was no longer hiding his figure, he swung the centaur's powerful four legs, and rushed to Serius' side in the blink of an eye.

"what..."

Before Serius could react, a big hand like iron pincers tightly grasped his head.

While running, the centaur sage slammed his head into the trees along the way.Chiron didn't worry about whether his students would be injured. He knew very well that as long as there was no divinity involved, no matter how violent the attack was, it would only make Seleus feel pain.

Soon, Chiron led Seleus out of the forest.He threw down the Serius in his hand, watching the little guy wanting to hold his head with his hands in a daze.

It took a while for Serius to return to normal.He stood up straight, enduring the pain in his head and waiting for the teacher's summary of the training.

"Being distracted in battle is a warrior's taboo."

The tone of the centaur changed from the usual gentleness.Seleus, who originally wanted to complain about the teacher's ruthless attack, noticed something, and his body, which was already standing upright, became a little straighter.

"I told you, Serius. Your body gives you an advantage in battle, but that doesn't mean it's absolutely invincible."

Serius nodded obediently, not daring to refute a word.

Seeing Serius' good attitude of admitting his mistakes, Chiron's tone softened.

"The teacher wants you to remember that the competition of fighters is an all-round collision from the spirit to the body. No matter which aspect is slack, the opponent will seize the opportunity to suppress it instantly, just like I suppressed you today."

Serius lowered his head and began to reflect. After knowing the peculiarity of his body, although he didn't see anything on the surface, he knew in his heart that he was indeed a little drifting.

Thinking of this, Seleus gasped.Fortunately, the teacher reminded me today, otherwise, if I still maintain this mentality in the life-and-death battle in the future, I will capsize in the gutter sooner or later.

Seeing the student realize his mistake, Chiron smiled again.He carried the student on his back and took the student home like this.

Chapter 6 Enlightenment and Mastery

If the world has its own consciousness, then He must be a god with evil tastes.

The mighty power of the whole world is all in one body, and as long as he wants to, he can give enlightenment and enlightenment to the creatures (human beings) anytime and anywhere, allowing them to easily understand all kinds of knowledge and abstract concepts.

But unfortunately for humans, He doesn't want to.

On the one hand, because of the needs of the world's own evolution, it hopes that the creatures born in the world will develop and create rapidly, and more knowledge from the world axis will be excavated to improve the foundation of the world itself.

On the other hand, the world must try to prevent more people from approaching the axis of the world, because the more people reach the center of the world, the more threatened the security of the world will be.

This is an almost irreconcilable contradiction, but is it worthy of the world?He strikes a wonderful balance between the two.

As mentioned earlier, the world will not directly grant enlightenment and enlightenment to its creations, and he wants to prevent the evolution and development of the creations beyond the plan of the world itself.

Not only that, the world will also set up various obstacles to prevent the pioneers who have left their comrades from approaching the axis of the world.

And when the world wants the creations to understand a concept, He will gather the things related to this concept in the lives of the creations, and when the creations adapt to these things, he will suddenly smash the things related to the opposite concept. over the heads of the creatures.

Sudden encounters will make the creators deeply understand these two concepts, and imprint them deeply in the depths of their blood.

This is the bad taste of the world.

Seleus is living his life with such wicked doubts.

To be honest, after going through the initial confusion and panic.Seleus is quite proud.

Just look at his treatment --- his invulnerable body, Hades personally found the centaur sage Chiron as his teacher, and the tenderness from the goddess Hestia that he could hear every night of terror in his infancy lullaby.

Even after he could handle the hammer, he was allowed to go to the Bronze Temple of Lord Hephaestus for a month every year to learn the art of forging.

It never occurred to Serius that the gods who once existed only in the imagination seemed not so high above them.Seleus felt that he was the Son of Destiny, and he really thought so, but he was cautious by nature and didn't show it so ostentatiously.Although deeply favored by the gods, Seleus remained humble before the gods.

'Since I already have the favor of the three main gods, why can't I get the favor of the remaining nine main gods? '

Seleus, who had been stimulated by this idea, felt itchy in his heart. He tried every means to ask Chiron about the method of offering sacrifices to the gods, and gritted his teeth to survive Chiron's carefully designed training for him, in order to be able to do it as quickly as possible. Speed ​​masters the power to acquire offerings.

Finally, after being chased halfway through the forest by what Chiron called a "wild boar" with the height of an adult, Seleus got a sacrifice that could be used to worship the gods.It was even soft and hard, and he got the method of holding the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the gods from the happy Chiron.

Then Seleus lay in bed for a month.

There are no things that should be taken for granted in the world. Those seemingly selfless and unrequited loves are all because some existences have paid enough price in the dark.

Unfortunately, if Seleus sacrificed to Zeus first in the order among the gods, Zeus' thunder would prevent Seleus from offending other gods.

But fortunately, because he offended the nine main gods except Hades, Hestia, and Hephaestus, Seleus understood the most precious thing he had.

Before experiencing the divine punishment, Seleus’s actions were all for himself, but after experiencing the divine punishment, Seleus has already made up his mind, and he will dedicate his life to the glory of the three main gods.Seleus wanted to repay the love of the three main gods.

......

Time flies, and 12 years have passed in a flash.Seleus learned everything Chiron could teach him in these 12 years, and the rest can only be enriched slowly through time and experience.In other words, Seleus can leave the teacher.

Chiron was busy, and in order to celebrate his student's graduation, Chiron caught a cow.But Seleus is very distressed now. The reason for his distress is not because he wants to leave the teacher, but because of Seleus' fantasy shattered by reality.

In fantasy, what does the most perfect warrior in your mind look like?

In his previous life, Seleus spent a lot of time traveling in the ocean of ACG. After a long period of nurturing, the most perfect image of a warrior in Seleus' mind is the male version of the Lion King.

Think about it, a gorgeous armor with exquisite patterns, supplemented by a handsome cloak that can set off the figure and enhance the temperament, a firm and handsome face with a perfectly proportioned figure and muscle curve, powerful strength and elegant fighting style. ..

Seleus had imagined himself becoming such a warrior countless times.This fantasy is transformed into an unparalleled longing after Seleus crosses.

When the cruel reality severely smashed Serius' desire to pieces.

As a fighter, the size of strength is always an important factor in determining the upper limit of its combat power.

Facing the powerful and unstoppable meteor hammer coming from the front, what is the use of a warrior with a rapier even if he has extremely superb martial arts?This is the case with One Power Breaks Ten Thousand Laws.

And as a mortal without any special blood, there is only one way to improve his own strength—to increase his muscles through exercise.And the troubles of Seleus also come from this.

Chiron deserves to be the best teacher in all of Greece. The training plan he formulated maximized the physical potential of Seleus.The treatment of Seleus is undoubtedly the only one in Greece, because so far, none of the heroes who have been taught by Chiron has been taught by Chiron since he was a baby like Seleus.

Seriously trained by Chiron, his physical fitness surpassed the limits of mortals.

"What's wrong, Serius?"

Chiron noticed that his student was in a very depressed mood, and gently raised his hand to rest on Serius' shoulder.I don't know when, Chiron couldn't touch his student's head anymore. This reality once made Chiron both happy and disappointed.

"Is my best student still troubled by his tall, hilly figure?"

Saying so, Chiron subconsciously looked at Serius' body. With a tall body of 2 meters and strong muscles, children can run freely on their arms and shoulders without worrying that they will fall off. The palm with a big fan can easily grab an adult's waist...

In short, Chiron is very satisfied with his training results, but the parties obviously don't think so.

"You have to pay for what you get. This is an unchanging truth in the world. You know, strength without muscle support is the most deadly demon for mortals. Because your body can't bear your strength."

Chiron habitually taught his disciples.

"I understand, teacher. I just have some disillusioned dreams, and I will figure it out in a while."

Chiron nodded, trusting his student.So he changed the subject.

"I made some beef, you take some more to eat on the way."

Seleus nodded.

"I've prepared some medicinal materials for you. The poison and wound medicine are packed separately. Remember to bring them with you."

Seleus nodded, not reminding himself of the fact that he hardly needed any wound medicine.Because if one's body is injured, ordinary herbs are useless at all.

"There are also furs that have been hunted over the years, you can bring some more to exchange for money."

Serius nodded, although he felt that today's teacher was nagging, but he didn't want to interrupt Chiron.

......

"Go, Seleus. Do what you want."

"I know, teacher"

Chapter 7 Does the goddess really want to test Seleus?

Seleus, who left the teacher, had just stepped out of the forest when he heard 'dang!clang!clang! 'The crisp sound of iron striking.The strange thing is that the sound of blacksmithing is clearly in my ears, but I look around and there is nothing that can make such a sound.

It was such a weird scene, Serius was not surprised but a little happy, his face that was sad because he left the teacher put a smile back on his face.

Seleus took a step forward without hesitation. At this moment, a wonderful change occurred in the space, and Seleus saw the scene around him retreating rapidly.When his foot landed, Seleus appeared before the door of a great bronze hall of ancient splendor.

The smile on Seleus' face grew stronger, and he pushed open the bronze door without hesitation. His movement of pushing the door was reminiscent of a traveler who finally returned home.

Serius ignored the oncoming heat wave, and turned into the forging room deep in the bronze hall with ease.In a room full of lava and forging tools, Seleus found the person he was looking for... well, God.

Facing the goddess in front of him, Seleus lowered his head, bowed his body slightly, and at the same time put his right hand close to his heart.

"Praise be to you, Hephaestus, fair goddess of fire. Your children are as intoxicated by your beauty as moths drawn by fire."

Seleus's tone was exaggerated as if joking, but the goddess could hear the sincerity in it.

"Alright, alright, you sweet-mouthed little guy. I don't know where you, who have been staying by Chiron's side, learned this glib accent."

The goddess' words seemed a little helpless, but the upturned corners of her mouth revealed the goddess' happy mood after hearing the compliment.

But don't think that it is very easy to please the goddess, not to mention that the goddess who can look directly at the soul of a mortal can easily tell the authenticity of your words.If there is no special relationship with the goddess like Serius, just mentioning related topics in front of the goddess who is inferior due to her appearance will be burned alive by the angry goddess.

"You know, Lord Hephaestus. In my eyes, you are really beautiful."

God is perfect, God is a perfect combination of all kinds of good things in the world.It is also because of this that any flaws that appear on the gods will be infinitely magnified in front of the perfection of the gods.

People will instinctively hate those flaws, and even hate the existence that should be perfect.Even if it's just a small black spot on the pearl.

Because of this, the goddess of forging always feels inferior because of the blindfold and flame-like lines on her face.

"Let's skip that subject, little one."

Hephaestus didn't want to continue on this topic of appearance.Seleus's sincere compliments on her looks always puzzled her.

"Now, come to me quickly."

The goddess called to Seleus tenderly, and at the same time handed the forging hammer in her hand to Seleus.

"I know you're from Chiron. I've got a gift for your adventure, too."

The goddess took Seleus by the hand and brought him to a weapon embryo exuding divine power.Obviously, this was forged by the goddess of forging.

Noticing this weapon embryo, Seleus looked at the goddess who was pulling him with some doubts.

"I originally planned to build it a few days ago and send it to you. But it suddenly occurred to me that Chiron, as your teacher as a warrior, taught you various combat skills. Now, being recognized by Chiron has become a qualified You, warrior, have departed from Chiron."

Noticing Serius' doubts, the goddess explained to him.

"I thought, I have taught you all the forging knowledge that I have and can be mastered by mortals in the past few years. Should I test your learning results. As a teacher."

Hephaestus' tone was slightly different from before, but Seleus, who was stunned by the information contained in the goddess' words, didn't notice.

"This is the assessment I set for you."

The goddess pointed to the weapon embryo and gestured to Serius.

"Let me think about it, what kind of weapon do I want you to build?"

Hephaestus let go of the hand holding Seleus, and at the same time kept looking at the tall and mighty body of Seleus.After a long time, Hephaestus suddenly laughed.

"That should be a weapon worthy of my little one's valiant manliness... how about a double-bladed battle-axe?"

Although the tone was inquiring, the goddess' expression told Serius that he had no right to refuse.Clearly, Hephaestus wanted to see Seleus fighting with his ax in hand.
