The secret of the goblin.

that.

“Goblins actually don’t have that much mana.”

It’s called manazoru.

correction.

Since it has already been proven several times that it is not premature ejaculation, I will correct the mana that it is lower than expected.

“The goblin’s mana is lower than expected. This ability is at the average level.”

“……Can I talk about that?”

Baek Seol-hee is appalled.

What are you talking about now? I look at the other three, especially Taeirin, with trembling eyes.

“Yes, that’s right. Isn’t that the goblin’s biggest secret?”

“Lie.”

Yoon Yi-seon, who was stiff, got up from her seat.

“There is no way our goblin is an average person with special abilities!!”

“They call him a goblin.”

“Of course! As a senior member of the Goblin fan club, I can’t just ignore those words, no matter how much the teacher is a teacher!”

Although it seems like Yoon Iseon is a bit hasty, she is actually trying to make me shut up.

Don’t let anyone talk recklessly about goblins.

To prevent the goblin from revealing its weaknesses.

In particular, make sure not to give information to Taeirin, who has no contact with the goblin yet.

“You’re lying, right?”

“It’s not a lie. It’s true.”

Why can’t I believe him when he says he has a small mana tank?

“No matter how much you try to deny it, goblins have relatively different mana in S-class… no, even compared to A-class, it is much less.”

“I don’t understand.”

Taylin raised her hand.

“The performance that Goblin has shown so far…wasn’t it based on overwhelming mana?”

“That’s right.”

“But the goblin actually has a little mana? Then…”

“There are external factors. There are other parts that can bring mana.”

Tailin frowned with a serious face.

“…If you started talking now to tell me the secret, could you tell me the answer?”

“I brought this up with the intention of letting you know, so don’t be too gentle.”

“Ah, yes. Sorry….”

Other than Taeirin, everyone is just watching, but all three seem secretly curious.

Of course, the fact that I brought it up in the first place means that I have an intention to reveal it.

And since it helps them too, I can confidently reveal this.

“How do people with special abilities usually use mana?”

“Hmm, that’s right, of course you don’t use it with the feeling of storing mana in the heart?”

“That’s right. Mana is blood, and drawing a circle around the heart allows mana to circulate and be stored.”

Circle Magic.

This is a setting that was common in old first-generation fantasy novels before the cataclysm.

“The method of storing mana is different for each country, culture, and region. Maybe it’s because they watch a lot of martial arts in China, but they say they give up their inner strength in the bottom battle.”

There are many ways to store energy in the body, but Korea adopted circle magic theory as a way to store mana.

“You will use it similarly. Because the heart is the most intuitive. Even if it were me, I think I would spread mana like blood spreading from my heart throughout my body.”

I calmly appealed to Taeirin, saying, ‘Do Ji-hwan = an incompetent person,’ and took a moment to catch my breath.

“…Goblin is different.”

“Aren’t you saying you store mana in the heart?”

“No. You may store some mana in your heart, but you also store mana elsewhere.”

I extended my right hand forward and pointed down with only my index and middle fingers extended.

“Probably the goblin stores mana there too.”

“……Where is it?”

“Biologically speaking, it could be called ‘testicles’.”

“Big…?!”

Baek Seol-hee covers her mouth with her hand and opens her eyes wide.

“No, what…?”

“Are you sincere?”

“Okay then. Do you need another theoretical explanation?”

“…Oh, no. Just skip it.”

Yunji Kim’s eyes fell for a moment, but her face turned red and she turned her eyes towards the wall.

“If there is one thing I have felt while dealing with many people with special abilities, it is that people with special abilities can store mana anywhere.”

“That’s….”

“It’s like putting a circle around the heart, it’s like creating a separate mana organ near the solar plexus, it’s like using the lower body, and most of all…”

Push your index and middle fingers down.

“You can also store mana in a place where it can be zen-loss when damaged.”

“Then, teacher, what is the effect…?”

“It’s just storage.”

In particular, there is no amplification of mana.

“Just because mana is stored in other parts of the body, that does not increase the total amount of mana that can be accumulated in the human body.”

“Then why are you doing this?”

“If you think of a base station antenna-”

“It acts as a repeater!!”

Yunji Kim clapped her hands and her eyes lit up.

“Rather than spreading mana downward from the heart, mana can spread faster if you spread it from the lower body!”

“That’s why.”

“Indeed…. It doesn’t seem like anything special, but if you try it yourself, it seems very ‘efficient’….”

“That’s the point.”

The biggest characteristic of the goblin’s mana usage method.

“Efficient use of mana. When any special ability causes a phenomenon, you only need to use the mana that can cause that special ability.”

“…Isn’t there too much mana to say that?”

“Tairin, that’s a good rebuttal. A second method is added there.”

I got up, sat down next to Baek Seol-hee, and stretched out my hand behind her back.

“Hi…?!”

“Borrowing mana from others. Let’s say I’m a goblin and Baek Seol-hee is a member of a secret organization.”

Although he was quietly dominating, Taeyrin did not notice.

The three who knew this were shocked – one of them was frozen as his body was pressed against my hand on his waist – but they just listened to me.

“Then what happens?”

“…The goblin will be able to use Seolhee’s superpower?”

“Ding. Although it uses Baek Seol-hee’s mana, this ability is purely the goblin’s.”

“That can’t be possible…. Those pyrotechnic techniques used when fighting Seolhee and the goblin at Yangyang Airport back then…”

“Even if the mana was borrowed from someone else, it is all a technique used by goblins.”

I placed my hand on Baek Seol-hee’s lower abdomen and then circled her stomach with my hand.

“Mana is money. I’m borrowing money from Baek Seol-hee, but isn’t it my idea how to spend that money?”

“Can I transfer my mana to someone else?”

“Okay. Surprisingly, the method is.”

“Patriotic.”

The words were taken away from Yunji Kim.

“It’s patriotism.”

“Why do you think that?”

“Somehow, if you say patriotism as the answer, 89.2% of the answers seem to be correct.”

“That’s right. That’s the correct answer.”

Patriotism knows the answer, and mana can be exchanged through patriotism.

“I can’t say it directly because I have a student, but I convey it in the form of ‘liquid’. You can think of it that way.”

“……Should I drink it by mouth?”

“Student Irene?”

“Oh, no.”

Taeyrin sank into the water up to her nose to hide her red face.

“…No matter what you do, you can spread mana through patriotism.”

“Indeed…. If a goblin becomes patriotic with a random woman, that would be-”

Yunji Kim suddenly stood up.

“Could it be that goblins have the ability to steal mana through patriotism?!”

“Nothing like that.”

Goblins don’t have it.

“If the goblin was that evil, forcing it to extort the mana of people with superpowers, the whole world would have kicked out the goblin a long time ago – no, from the very beginning?”

“Um….”

“I told you. Love is power. If you consciously decide that you want to convey mana to your opponent, once you do it right the first time, you will be able to do it easily after that.”

“Umm….”

“This is the second way goblins get mana from outside. And last.”

This is real.

“Absorbing mana from objects imbued with mana.”

The real reason why I bother to tell them about goblins’ mana.

“Making nature’s mana your own.”

“Isn’t that… something that just happens naturally?”

“That’s right. Just like taking in oxygen every time you breathe, a person with this ability can continuously make nature’s mana their own even when they are still.”

That’s why everyone is trying to stay on the Korean Peninsula somehow.

“There’s one thing everyone knows.”

“…Wait a minute. That’s not what you’re talking about, right?”

“I’m just mentioning it so you know.”

The four’s expressions harden.

“Mana Powder.”

“Ugh….”

“For people with supernatural abilities, it is an item that can absorb not only mana but also the magical abilities of the mana powder owner.”

Even Baek Seol-hee, who I was holding, squirmed and tensed, and I glanced at the four of them.

“…Not something that feels uncomfortable like that. There is a way to use mana in a healthy and peaceful way without anyone getting hurt or killing anyone.”

“……Is there such a thing?”

“Isn’t this just a story because it exists?”

Right now, it exists in Korea.

“Listen carefully, S-class people. The reason you attracted people’s attention on Jeju Island and all sorts of things happened on Jeju Island is not just because Jeju Island is a good island for adultery.”

“Eh…?”

“While the eyes of the whole world were focused on Jeju Island, how could the Korean government remain silent? Exactly…’Gwangikgong’?”

“……!!”

The moment I mentioned Gwangyukgong, everyone’s expressions went blank.

“If you can absorb mana from metal that contains mana, that also gives you the power to draw mana from outside.”

“Oh my god, there is such a thing…”

“I heard it exists.”

Underground on the Korean Peninsula, a top-secret project is underway that only four people (except the group) know about.

Name it.

Project ‘GOLDRUN’.

“If you can use the mana contained in metal, wouldn’t it soon become an external engine?”

This is a secret that cannot be told even to them.

The goblin also has two external engines – or, to put it more technically, ‘external cores’.

It was fabricated as something taken from the golden train that North Korea’s dictator Kim had secretly stolen.

Two gold beads residing in the goblin’s body.
