chapter 18
18 – First Morning in the Forest of Heroes
The next day.
Even though we ate and drank from all kinds of guys last night, we had to gather at the Colosseum before the sun rose.
For some reason, the men had their upper chest uncovered and only the lower part was roughly covered, while the women also lightly
They were wrapped in cloth and were forming a line while being blown by the cold wind.
‘…Doesn’t this have to be too Greek?’
He looked down at his empty jacket and sighed.
I’m glad I didn’t shave my head as hard as I saw in the old movies.
Anyway, the person holding the baton and standing in front of the apprentice heroes lined up with five is, of course, Chiron.
The centaur nodded his head after confirming that they were all gathered by tapping his horse’s hooves.
“Now, did everyone eat and drink happily yesterday?”
-Yes!!!
“Okay, fortunately, I heard there were no casualties at the party last night.
It is very nice to see them gradually developing self-control”
…..Self-control?
You said your self-control improved because there were no casualties at that crazy party yesterday?
As I was contemplating where I had the self-control from yesterday’s grand banquet party that passed through my mind, the people next to me seemed proud.
How stupid are you guys?
“Anyway, to get rid of the alcohol, I start a morning canter. Atlante!”
“Yes!”
At Chiron’s command, the girl standing next to me responded loudly.
Her auburn hair was cut short and tied into a ponytail, full of health.
It was a girl with impressive brown skin.
‘…Ah, I remembered’
Above the heads of Jason and Theseus, saying that they were to compete with the drunken Actaeon in their bow skills yesterday.
It was the girl who put her apple on it and almost sharpened her arrow.
Actaeon too, but it was quite impressive that her arrows almost turned her apple into her hedgehog.
“Dianes, who is still a freshman, doesn’t know the morning canter route yet, so you can guide him.”
“Yes! Just leave it to me!”
She smiled confidently, Atalanta replied and Chiron nodded her head, giving everyone time to get ready.
“Then, in 5 minutes, we will depart together with Helios’s tank!”
-Yup!!
As the students answered loudly, nymphs and centaurs suddenly rushed towards us.
“Theseus! Where is Theseus! The sword here!”
“Here! Parpamon! Quickly!”
“Aktaeon! Here’s the pitch! Masseni will bring her armor!”
“Archimedes! Please wear some armor!!”
“Ah! I hate it because it’s stuffy!”
Centaurs and nymphs, each carrying their own armor, helmet, and sword, began to fill the Colosseum in search of their students.
“I found it! Diones, right?”
“Yes?”
In the meantime, a pair of nymphs and centaurs found me and ran towards me with lights in their eyes.
“Come on! Atalanta will explain the details. Put it on quickly!”
“Come on, cheers!”
Before I could ask what the situation was, the centaur lifted my arm and in the meantime, a green-haired nymph rushed in and armed me in an instant.
“Oh my gosh, Phthalimon, look at his skin. How can a boy’s skin be so white?”
“Hmm, your muscles are unusual. What kind of upper body did you train with?”
A bronze helmet with a red decoration like a rooster crest on its head, and scale armor that glittered in brass.
And even though it was armed, it was still a skirt-shaped lower body armor with a bare bottom.
Finally, even the heavy spear.
While chatting leisurely, the time it took for them to arm me from head to toe
It was only about 2 minutes.
“I guess it wasn’t just a morning canter”
“Hey freshmen!”
With a voice calling me harshly, an attack came from behind aiming at my head out of nowhere.
I didn’t even need to turn around to block the attack by extending the spearhead backwards.
-Cheong!
“Huh?”
“What is it?”
The person responsible for the attack was Atalanta, who served as my guide earlier.
As if he didn’t know I was going to block the attack, Atalanta burst into silence and soon returned again.
Frowning his face, he retrieved the sword he had swung.
“Huh, heh! Since I was even slightly equal with Master Chiron, is this a matter of course?”
“……”
What is it?
I’m sure I’m seeing him for the first time, but why is his personality so familiar?
For some reason, I don’t think it’s the first time I’ve faced such a cheap couple.
“Let’s ask, what is this?”
It was at least a nice word to come out of the deep rage that revived.
Atalante.
As far as I can remember, she was a female hero who filmed a deathmatch called Running Man, where if you want to marry me, you win the race, and if you lose, you’ll break your head.
Thanks to that, she beat countless suitors by running, leading to countless haircuts.
It is said that she eventually got married after being properly caught fishing for a golden apple spread by a man who ate the Aphrodite buff. After that, it is said that she was transformed into a lion together with her husband because of her husband who did not show his s*x to the goddess properly….
“Ha, yes. You mean it wasn’t just empty cans that she competed against her master?”
…It’s Shinhwa and Nabal, and I’m just going to break the leg club here.
‘Patience, patience’
It’s because I’m a child right now, but my mind is many times greater than that of this extraordinary kid.
No matter how much her words and actions remind me of the goddess of the moon that raised her blood pressure at that time.
A child can do that without knowing anything.
“For now, as Master Chiron said, I will serve as the guide. Make sure you follow along well.
It’s probably because Master saw it, but he’s a hero who achieved even a bit of a tie. Can you fix that?
Ah, I’m about to make a vow to the goddess Artemis. Make sure she doesn’t come within ten steps.”
Well, can you follow me within ten steps?
Without saying anything, Atalanta turned around and headed for the entrance where everyone was gathered.
“…Heh heh”
Are all the followers of Artemis like that?
While I was contemplating whether to kill it or save it, it was polite.
The nymph who helped me arm myself earlier sneaked up to me and smiled awkwardly.
“Ha ha ha, were you surprised? Atalanta is a good kid by nature, but she was abandoned by her father when she was little…
That’s why, except for Master Chiron, I’m a bit picky with boys.”
“To be honest, I’m not at the level of being picky…but Chiron hyung-nim probably has that temper too.
Looks like Atalanta attached you to fix it…”
“Me?”
No, what do you mean look at me and rehabilitate that junior psychopath?
As I was shaking my head at the sound of someone running away from home, a familiar sign approached me.
“Hey! Have you had a fight with Atalanta already?”
“Ah, Hercules”
Hercules, who stayed by his side throughout last night’s party and insisted on fighting.
After that, Theseus and Jason, who had been almost close together, raised their hands and greeted each other.
“You almost drank the wine of this forest last night, aren’t you both fine?”
“Yesterday, I tend to enjoy myself in a calm manner. It might be okay.”
The two cleverly thought they were getting a little drunk, so they just made a toast and subtly put the wine back in the jar. I will do well in my social life later.
“Atalantera…Don’t think too hard about it. Except for Master Keiron and his female friends, everyone has that attitude.”
“Honestly, King Arcadia was a bit too much. Even so, she abandoned her daughter in the woods because she was not her son.”
“What?”
I can’t believe Baridegi actually existed in this neighborhood. Oh my god.
No, what on earth did the kings of ancient times think of their blood relatives?
Come to think of it, it’s a Greek myth that people often throw their sons and daughters into the forest.
How many children were thrown into the forest.
I want to make sure that my child grows crookedly.
“It’s getting more and more difficult…”
Still, something like a dick is like a dick.
“Anyway, first thing in the morning today is Gubo? What… To suffer”
“Ah, Archimedes, that friend won’t suffer from a canter.”
“Is he like that too?”
“What the hell is a morning run?”
I couldn’t stand it so I asked the three of them, but the three each said their time was up with a subtle smile.
I went back to my seat.
Is morning walking a different sport than I thought?
As the centaurs lined up at the entrance of the Colosseum, the sun began to rise brilliantly beyond the dark sky.
“Hey freshman, I’ll say it again, just as Master Chiron said…”
As I stood in my seat like before, Atalanta, who was standing next to me, ate with polite manners.
He whispered to me.
However, when she heard the strange story, she felt sorry for him rather than getting heated, so she calmed down and told her not to do that.
“My dear. If you whine just one more time. I can slam that pretty face to the ground.”
“…What?”
She glared at me with a face of disbelief that Atalante had heard her correctly.
Even faster than that, the centaur on top of the Colosseum blew his horn.
-Puuu!!
With a loud horn, the Colosseum’s huge doors opened with a roar.
Chiron stood in front of him and shouted at the children who were about to run away.
“Start canter!! Half of the total number of people who come late do not have breakfast!!”
I was about to laugh at Chiron’s scolding, saying, “Oh, that’s a familiar way.”
“Kuhehehe!! I can’t go!”
Boom! Heracles hit the ground with a clatter and landed in front of the entrance to the Colosseum.
