Type-Moon Greece: I Really Don't Want to Become a Hero! Chapter 43: The Training of Medea

After Athena finished conversing with Deter, she did not linger long and left very decisively.

Jason had originally thought she would seize him and demand answers about various things.

For example, why he had stood her up again... though Jason would never admit to that, and truthfully neither incident had been his fault.

Or what exactly was going on between him and Deter.

But Athena did none of that.

Because Athena could tell that staying any longer would be pointless. Jason no longer needed her right now.

Although Athena hated to admit it, as the Goddess of Wisdom who had secretly guided countless heroes to greatness, she had once again been completely outmaneuvered by Jason!

Yet Athena was not in a hurry. Though she felt a little unwilling, wanted to stomp her feet, wanted to grab Jason's cheeks and squeeze them to vent her frustration, she was the elegant and wise Goddess of Wisdom Athena. How could she possibly do sothing like that?

So Athena decided to wait. She knew she would have plenty of opportunities in the future!

Just the matter of that kingship alone ant Jason would eventually have to deal with it. After all, he was the one occupying Jason's body.

After Athena departed and dea arrived, Jason's days in Deter's temple gradually settled into peace.

Having been constantly on the move for nearly half a year, Jason finally enjoyed so rare tranquility.

He would wake up in the morning to feed Pegasus, then study potion-making with dea. In the afternoon he tended the special herb garden Deter had opened for them. In the evening he prepared and took the dicine Hecate had instructed him to ingest, then continued learning potion-making with dea.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

One-sixth of the half-year agreent was already gone.

Jason was very satisfied with this kind of life.

Even though he still had two sources of trouble: Deter and dea.

Deter was actually manageable. She was rely redirecting the maternal affection she could no longer lavish on the absent Persephone onto the two of them.

And Jason had successfully deflected most of it onto dea as a shield.

But dea...

That night, inside the potion-making room.

"Big Brother Jason, can I sleep with you tonight?" Jason looked with a headache at dea, who was staring at him with hopeful eyes.

He wanted to refuse, but over the past month of spending every day together, dea had grown clever.

Now, if he did not satisfy her requests, she simply refused to teach!

"Fine, but only on the condition that tonight you cooperate and help successfully brew an interdiate transformation potion!"

"No problem!"

Jason helplessly watched dea agree instantly, her face blooming with a dazzling smile. He could only feel that his life was truly too difficult.

This dea was becoming more and more clingy...

Truthfully, as a man, being so closely adored by a girl, and such a cute little loli at that, Jason would be lying if he said he was completely unhappy about it.

But the mont he rembered her na was dea... all happiness vanished!

His feelings were truly tangled.

And the pit of sleeping together had been dug by Jason himself; he had no one else to bla.

In the spirit of "training" her, while teaching dea concepts like "an elder brother is like a father" and "an elder brother must not be bullied," dea ignored everything else but firmly rembered the offhand remark Jason made that there was nothing wrong with sleeping together because they were siblings.

As for Jason's repeated emphasis that siblings could absolutely never marry...

"I know, I know, Big Brother Jason... Don't worry, Big Brother Jason, you'll definitely master it tonight. The potion you brewed yesterday was actually very close."

"...Listen here, my dear little sister, you wouldn't happen to be deliberately hiding so techniques from , right? I only needed three days to learn the beginner transformation potion, yet I've been working on the interdiate one for almost a month!"

"Because I saw how much you wanted to learn... cough, no, I an interdiate potions are inherently very difficult."

Jason stared with a dark expression at dea, who averted her eyes and refused to et his gaze.

He felt utterly helpless inside.

Where had the obedient little angel from a month ago gone? The one who listened to everything he said and never talked back?

How had she beco harder and harder to fool lately?

Thus, more than two hours later, under dea's nearly hand-holding guidance, Jason finally succeeded in brewing an interdiate transformation potion.

Learning and successfully brewing an interdiate transformation potion in just one month was actually incredibly fast.

Of course, ordinary scholars would not have access to Deter's nearly limitless supply of ingredients, nor would they have a genius like dea teaching them step by step.

dea was a true genius in this field. Everything Hecate taught her, she grasped instantly and could even extrapolate further.

That was why Hecate's daily routine for dea consisted only of assigning howork.

Jason genuinely had no talent in this area. His own gifts lay elsewhere: combat and leadership.

"Interdiate transformation potions already use materials at their limit. If you want to brew an advanced one, Brother, you'll need to learn the corresponding magic and obtain blood from specific magical beasts. However, as a substitute, the highest-grade transformation potion cannot be undone for life unless the corresponding antidote is used."

dea took the potion Jason handed her, inspected it, confird it was fine, then returned it to him while explaining.

"Beginner transformation potions only work on ordinary humans and ordinary beasts, which ans... interdiate potions should affect magical beasts and heroes, right?"

Jason held the potion, thought for a while, then looked dea up and down thoughtfully. "If I used this on you, how long do you think it would last?"

"Hmm... probably about a week before it wears off on its own. I regularly take special potions that give a lot of resistance. Under normal circumstances, it would last at least a month, maybe longer."

dea thought for a mont and answered honestly.

"I see... Then tomorrow we should start learning how to brew the antidote. dea, how about showing a few samples of the antidote?"

Upon hearing this, dea imdiately produced several antidote samples and even gave Jason a few extra transformation potions.

Jason held the interdiate transformation potion and the antidotes, looked at dea before him, and revealed a aningful smile.

And so, that very night...

"ow...? ow, ow ow!"

"Heh, it actually works."

Jason reached out and poked at the little black cat on the bed. dea, transford by the potion, was panicking wildly.

"Looks like this potion would work on most heroes too... Not a bad life-saving skill. Hey, stop scratching, stop scratching! Don't worry, I'll turn you back tomorrow. See, the antidote is right here!

But speaking of which... a cat, huh."

While stroking the head of the little black cat dea to comfort her, the image of another girl, a wild and untad one, suddenly popped into Jason's mind.

"For so reason it feels even more fitting for her... I also heard that rumor about apparently started with her, didn't it?

Fine. If I get the chance to et her again, I absolutely have to teach her a lesson!"

"Hiss... Don't bite! Don't bite! I was wrong, I was wrong, okay?! Alright, alright, I'll stop ssing around. But... if you stay as a little cat, I'll make an exception tonight and let you sleep right next to . Are you sure you want to change back?"

dea froze at those words, then struggled internally for a while.

In the end, she surrendered.

"So easy to handle... Ahem, then let's begin."

Begin? Begin what?

dea looked puzzled for a mont, but when she saw Jason's expression turn serious, as if he had rembered sothing, her face changed!

"Did you think I used the transformation potion on you for no reason? Did you really believe I didn't notice you secretly using silencing magic to block your hearing all this ti?

Listen well. Since I am your big brother, it's fine for you to be close to , but everything has its limits.

As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father; an elder brother must not be bullied. An elder brother is soone a little sister must respect and love..."

This behavior could be sumd up in two words: chanting sutras, brainwashing!

Did you think Jason was joking when he said "training"? When he decided to train soone, he was a man of action.

After all, his little life was on the line!

Jason firmly believed that with enough persistence, dripping water could wear through stone, and even an iron rod could be ground into a needle.

He would train dea into a good little sister who only respected and adored him, not a bad little sister who wanted to marry him!

"ow, ow ow!"

dea bounced around, indicating she was not sleeping anymore, she did not want to sleep together anymore, and begging Jason to give her the antidote. But Jason naturally ignored her.

Opportunities like this were rare. If he did not seize the mont to properly train her now, when would he ever get another chance?

So dea tried to run away and escape the room.

But she was, after all, just a cat now. The mont she turned, Jason caught her and brought her back.

In the end, after much struggling, dea accepted her fate and listened to Jason lecture for more than five full hours.

By the end, her eyes looked as dead as a fish's...

The effect was actually quite good. The next day she avoided Jason constantly, and for half a month she did not dare ntion sleeping together again.

That very night, terrified that Jason would co looking for her, she unprecedentedly ran off to sleep with Deter, which delighted Deter to no end.

The side effects were considerable, though. From then on, dea kept looking for chances to turn Jason into an animal too, but Jason naturally never gave her the opportunity.

The potion only worked if the gas was inhaled, so in the end Jason even made himself a special mask...

As the saying goes, those who play with vermilion get stained red; those who touch ink get stained black.

After two months passed, regardless of anything else, dea's innocence visibly faded day by day under Jason's influence...

One could only wonder whether, if Hecate ever found out, she would feel the urge to drag her wicked disciple back and give him a thorough "training" of her own.

In the blink of an eye, three months had gone by.

Jason had originally believed that under Deter's protection, the remaining half-year would pass peacefully.

Yet he never expected that during this ti, Queen Hera, through her own channels, would finally learn that Jason was no longer in the Underworld.

He was here, with Deter.
