Chapter Index

    Although it is called a summer semester training, in reality it is similar to a boot camp for a sports team.

    ‘Honestly, it’s called an academy because it’s like a hero training academy.’

    If you look at the ability academies in the fantasy world, they all basically focus on ‘improving combat power.’

    The same goes for Sejong Academy, and this summer semester’s program is basically aimed at improving academic abilities.

    Students accumulate knowledge through studying, but students with special abilities aim to develop their abilities.

    ‘The main purpose is to develop a practical sense by sparring instead of playing at home during vacation.’

    Most of the work involves using one’s head, but in the end, it is important to demonstrate one’s abilities, so one takes a specialized special lecture on developing one’s abilities in a certain region.

    ‘Actually, there’s a lot of sparring training.’

    Sparring with Class A players.

    I take turns doing combat training with S-class members Baek Seol-hee, Yoon I-seon, and Kim Yun-ji.

    Invite experts who can provide various insights related to the development of your abilities and listen to lectures.

    ‘If it’s a situation where a Korean has to win an international competition, it’s only natural that a summer camp be created.’

    All of this is to achieve good results in the Super Talent World Cup, or the World’s Best Talent Competition, or the Super Power Olympics, which will be held in October.

    As full-scale training begins, the time between me and Baek Seol-hee is bound to pass differently.

    -I don’t think I’ll be able to contact you until evening.

    Unlike Baek Seol-hee, who has to stick to her students throughout the lecture, I tend to have quite a bit of time.

    Baek Seol-hee has to participate in all lectures, but I just need to be an assistant lecturer for my related lectures.

    -You shouldn’t just move on from one woman to another just because you’re relatively free. got it?

    -Are you saying I’m not flirting but just letting it go?

    -You probably won’t look at other women, but it’s obvious that other women will drool when they see you. Don’t you think you’ll say something like that?

    -Not careful.

    While Baek Seol-hee is so focused on the students’ education that she can’t even keep an eye on me, what can I do in the meantime?

    ‘You must act according to the purpose of coming to Jeju Island.’

    Enjoying the nature of Jeju Island is one way, but my job is to go to the Jeju Island library in advance and look through banned books.

    Therefore, he must stay away from Baek Seol-hee, at least during the day.

    It would be possible if Baek Seol-hee sent her alter ego, Baek Harang, to spend time with her, but she said she wanted to focus on the students for the first week.

    -If you contact me in the middle of the day, I’m calling about ability consulting, so please treat me with respect. got it?

    -of course. ah. Are you going to follow that concept?

    -huh. It turned out that the talent consultant I met on the Internet was Do Ji-hwan, a librarian, and that he committed the crime after having an affair in Jeju Island. Well then, treat me like a public person except when I meet you in your room.

    While I was working on Project Jeju as a goblin, Baek Sul-hee was planning her own ‘Project Jeju (affair).’

    A certain ability consultant I came into contact with often after joining the academy.

    By talking to him often, I developed a personal crush on him, and thanks to him, I was able to learn new abilities and received great help.

    As we talked like that, we got to know each other on a personal level, and when we met in Jeju Island, we got to know each other’s true nature.

    Baek Seol-hee’s plan is to build up a crush through online dating, then meet fatefully on Jeju Island, and fall in love after hitting Yeonpung hard on Jeju Island.

    There is a lot of time.

    The practical training lasts for about a month, and there are so many things to do in Jeju Island.

    As such, I decided to slowly follow Baek Seol-hee’s wishes.

    At night, I work as a goblin or take care of Baek Seol-hee’s mental health, but I also have to focus on researching and developing my abilities during the day.

    ‘I also have something to research personally.’

    This ability is always new.

    As I saw the Emperor’s electromagnetic ability and saw how people with natural and elemental abilities handle their abilities, I also must not fall behind in developing this ability.

    ‘Developing this ability is a way to increase your magical power and become stronger.’

    Increasing this ability does not simply mean increasing skills or spell cards.

    As you develop or improve this ability, your thinking ability expands and your imagination becomes richer, and at the same time, the maximum amount of mana accumulated in your body increases accordingly.

    In an RPG, learning a new skill itself becomes experience points, and as the level increases, mana increases.

    Each person with this ability has a different method, but in the end, developing this ability directly leads to an increase in one’s overall power.

    So, I gave Ymir, Yun Iseon, and Baek Seolhee various instructions or advice to develop their abilities.

    ‘Now it’s my turn.’

    Until now, I have helped and supported the development of other people’s abilities, but now I need to think about how to develop and improve my abilities.

    Ganghwa as a goblin is Ganghwa, but we must also consider the issue of the Knights of Sephiroth.

    ‘It seems like there has been quite a bit of peace since Thailand, but you never know where the devil may appear again.’

    Pandemonium hasn’t done much since Laplace’s Demon, but it will definitely take action as many people with special abilities will gather on Jeju Island.

    ‘If I were the devil of Pandemonium, I would spray poison gas that would turn all the people with superpowers gathered at the Jeju Island hotel into devils.’

    What if people with Grade A or higher abilities don’t do anything special on Jeju Island, where hundreds of people gather?

    ‘Or, if an S-class hero from Japan comes to buy the Phoenix Feather, he will unleash a demon in the area that the hero is in charge of and attack. ‘It felt like I was robbing an empty house.’

    Or, where people gather on Jeju Island and there is a security vacuum, demons do not appear?

    ‘We’ve created a situation where it’s easy for Pandemonium to intervene, but if it doesn’t come out…’

    As soon as Ji Cheon-hyang fell, several bone suckers came to Jeju Island. This would create a favorable environment for demons to run amok, but there is not even a hair in sight?

    ‘Then we need to decide on a separate activity policy at that time.’

    You must go in search of Pandemonium, where demons have completely hidden themselves out of fear and do not appear even though it is an environment conducive to rampaging.

    If you set a trap and it doesn’t get caught, or even if the watchman doesn’t appear in another place where he disappeared, you have no choice but to go find it yourself.

    ‘The association must prepare for all situations. Whether it appears on Jeju Island, overseas, or doesn’t appear at all. I must move to get rid of the devil in my own way.’

    So to prepare for that time, I need to develop new abilities.

    ‘Looking for concepts from the classics. You have to figure out what to make.’

    To be precise, among creating materials using a goblin bat, you need to find an appropriate concept from the classic media sealed in the basement library of the Jeju Island library and make it your own.

    ‘Because the clearer the image, the more reliably you can create and imitate.’

    Dodge Rider.

    Ally of Justice (Goblin Man) Dark charisma.

    Chesed Black War Dragoons.

    The reason I was able to clearly bring them out into this world was because I had such a clear image of them.

    When creating the appearance with mana, the reason I was able to create it with a goblin bat even though there were differences in details is because I remember them accurately.

    But humans are animals of forgetfulness.

    ‘Because the media after the cataclysm are completely different, it is unclear which one to bring up.’

    Although I also have the brain of a person with special abilities, I clearly remember the past year of living as Do Ji-hwan clearly, but my previous ‘memories of my time as a reader’ – that is, memories before being possessed – are gradually fading away.

    So, you need a classic.

    I need ‘inspiration’ to look through the classics that existed before the cataclysm and choose another fighting method, whether it is a suitably new form or a goblin form.

    Even if you use a special ability using a classic as a motif, people will say, ‘You looked at something old and copied it!’, and when they think of material from a series that continued from the classic, they say, ‘Wow! People will be surprised, saying, ‘It’s a new concept!’

    To find that information, I am moving somewhere.

    I am heading to a ‘preservation library’ on the hillside of Hallasan Mountain to do my work as Do Ji-hwan.

    Sigh.

    As I rode my bike up a fairly deep part of the mountain, I saw a place that looked like a research lab.

    I went straight through the entrance, took off my helmet, and showed my school ID to the staff guarding the entrance.

    “Ah, you’re here. Librarian Do Ji-hwan. You can come here.”

    A male employee wearing a white coat came out to greet me in person.

    “It is an honor to meet the librarian of Sejong Academy. You are free to view the materials here.”

    The staff showed me inside the lab, and I went inside the lab building and was shown to a slightly dark room.

    “As you know, all materials in the preservation library are computerized. You can view it here.”

    “…Thank you. Then.”

    I went into the reading room, which was decorated like a single-person reading room, and picked up the tablet placed on the desk.

    “You can earn a salary just by reading novels.”

    Among the classics before the cataclysm and novels created after the cataclysm, creative works classified as ‘harmful books for young people’.

    Just by looking at these, I can earn a salary as Do Ji-hwan and develop this ability as a goblin.

    Kill two birds with one stone….

    ‘The best thing is being able to see creations that didn’t originally appear in the world.’

    As a possessor, this is such a happy thing.

    ‘This is why I can’t quit my job as a librarian.’

    I searched through the materials on my tablet and started checking novels that could only be confirmed through materials at Sejong Academy.

    Novels that could not be seen due to the death of the author, but somehow survived in this world and were completed, were brought into the archives due to censorship.

    ‘Is there a job that gets paid to read novels?’

    Until I am discovered as a goblin, I will never be able to give up this job.
