Jason doesn't know if this is lucky or unlucky!

The shore of River of Blazing-Fire, Pyriphlegethon.

The Spirit of the River of Blazing-Fire, a red-haired heroic-looking young girl whose body is formed using burning flames, after learning about Hecate's intentions looked at her side.

She found a blonde little boy that is only around twelve years old, Jason.

Then she couldn't help but say with shock in her voice: "Are you trying to kill this child? Let alone this child, you must know that even some gods can't bear the burning of the soul by the unquenchable flames!"

There are five rivers in the underworld.

The river of Misery and Woe, Acheron.

The River of Forgetfulness, Lethe.

The River of Blazing-Fire, Pyriphlegethon.

The river of Wailing, Cocytus.

And the river of Hatred, which encircles the Underworld nine times, Styx.

Each river has its own characteristics, and the second stop Hecate has brought Jason to is the river of Blazing-Fire that breeds the unquenchable flame!

"Therefore, didn't I come to you?" Hecate calmly said to her: "As a goddess born in this flame, you must know what to do to temper his soul with these flames?"

"It's difficult." The red-haired goddess shook her head and said, "Although it's not impossible to do it,... it's quite troublesome!"

"Even with your help, at least one god who can use life force is needed to complete it! And even before that, he needs to stay in this area for at least three months and take a fire lotus every day to get used to this flame!"

"Take a fire lotus for three months and still need a god who can use life force..." Hearing the requirement Hecate fell into thinking.

But, seeing that Hecate is seriously lost in thought, the Spirit of Fire couldn't help but ask Hecate: "Goddess Hecate, may I ask, who is he... someone of yours?"

'Illegitimate child?'

The Spirit of Fire couldn't help thinking about it, although, she also knows that Hecate is known to be a virgin, unmarried, and has never had a relationship with other gods.

After all, even Zeus, the overlord among the gods, doesn't easily dare to act on her, because Hecate has both a strong strength as well as a deep backing!

Still, although it is indeed Zeus's generation that is currently ruling the world, it doesn't mean the previous generations are all dead!

"My student." Hecate flatly replied.

"Student?" The Spirit of Flame was stunned and while looking at Jason, asked in surprise: "Is he really just a student?"

"Um, at the same time, I need him to help me verify with the experiment, to see if he can use the magic I have researched through his mortal body."

"Mortal body?" The Spirit of Fire couldn't help but wonder: "If this is really the case...then Goddess Hecate, isn't it unnecessary for you to do this?"

After she asked this question, Jason was also surprised.

Indeed, if it is just for the experiment, first washing the body with Styx and then preparing to use the unquenchable fire to temper the soul... After doing all this, can one really say for sure that Jason is still a mortal?

"Flushing his body is to make him stronger, tempering his soul is to make him being able to withstand the 'God Word'... Since he is already my student, he must be able to master ordinary magic, and naturally, he must also master extraordinary magic! "

Under Jason's surprised gaze, Hecate lightly replied.

'God Words' are actually the incantation words with higher authority that were used in various mythological eras and cannot be reproduced by human vocal organs.

This power can't be resited by the soul of ordinary people.

Moreover, it is a known fact that if a problem occurs with the essence of the soul, then Jason will really die and can't be resurrected in any way.

It can be seen that although Hecate kept saying words like death and die to Jason, which gave a very unreliable impression to Jason, it isn't actually the case.

Although it was not Hecate's wish to accept an apprentice, since Jason had been accepted as a student, Hecate would naturally fulfill her duty as a teacher.

Just like, what the centaur sage Chiron has said, Hecate is a benevolent goddess!

"Jason, starting today, you will stay with her for the next three months and I will come back again after three months. As for the god who has the power of life force... it's just right, I don't seem to have seen her in a long time and don't know what she's doing now."

After completing the arrangements, Hecate, who was whispering, left.

Leaving behind Jason and the Fire Spirit, one big and one small, staring at each other.

"Then... Sister Flame Spirit, please guide me from now on." In the end, Jason could only brace himself and say to the Spirit of Flame.

But when the Spirit of Flame saw Jason's embarrassed look, she couldn't help but smile while saying: "Okay, I allow to call me Sister Flame Spirit... hee hee, child, with such a teacher looking over you, I don't know whether to call it your good luck or bad luck."

...

After Hecate returned to her temple, she tried contacting the goddess who she is familiar with and has the power of life force, but upon not getting a reply even after waiting for a while, Hecate went back to the laboratory to indulge herself in research again.

......

Soon, three months passed.

Three months later, even with the help of the magical clock that Hecate has set up to remind her that the time is up, it was only after one more week has passed that she left the laboratory.

"Teacher, are you going out again?"

Medea looked at Hecate who was about to leave and asked curiously.

Although three months is a very long time, Medea has fully realized just how much of a hikikomori her teacher is.

"Um." Hecate nodded and casually replied: "To process a student's matter."

"Oh... eh, my matter?" Medea was surprised.

"No, Jason's matter."

"Jason?" Medea was again surprised, "Who is he?"

"My student." Hecate blinked at Medea, "You don't know?"

"...Teacher, besides me and Aunt Circe, when have you taken any other student?!" Medea tried to confirm in a shocked tone.

"Ah, haven't I already said?" Hecate was at a loss.

'Didn't I mention him? ...It seems that I went straight to the research after coming back and truly haven't mentioned him.'

Medea frantically nodded.

"Is that so... Didn't I go out three months ago, at that time I picked up a student."

"Pick?... Then teacher, why didn't you bring him back?" Medea continued with excitement: "And three months ago... Wait, that means, he's my junior brother, right?! "

"Junior brother?... Um, he is." Hecate didn't care much about this and was about to go out.

"Wait, teacher; teacher, take me with you!" Seeing this, Medea requested anxiously.

Medea obviously cares about Hecate's new student and is even looking excited about having a junior!

Because Hecate's temple is in the underworld, Medea has almost never dared to go out and it also isn't a fun place to go out.

At the same time, except for Medea, in this temple, there are only puppets driven by divine power to maintain the entire temple, which is built by Hecate, who hates troubles.

Furthermore, as soon as she enters the laboratory, usually Hecate doesn't come out even after a long time; therefore, most of the time, Medea doesn't even meet a person she can talk to.

"You want to come along? ... Well, not this time, I need to process some matters for him, it will be inconvenient with you following." Hecate thought for a while, then shook her head at Medea.

"This..." When Medea heard this, her emotions were visibly depressed, but Medea will obviously not oppose her teacher as well as the goddess she believes in.

Therefore, she can only comfort herself in her heart: 'Anyway, we will meet soon!'
