Chapter Index

    What would you like to compare this ability to?

    Some say it is a method of making soybean paste at a jonggat house that is not passed down to daughters-in-law.

    Some say it is a recipe book that a famous chef keeps in his head and writes down the recipes and cooking methods from beginning to end.

    Some say it is an idea notebook in which a magician writes down all of his magic tricks.

    Some even compare it to the ‘military book’ of martial arts novels.

    No matter what field it is, this ability is a ‘skill’.

    Anyone who knows the principles can learn it, acquire it as their own, and further apply it.

    Therefore, people with special abilities do not want their skills to be leaked carelessly.

    To the extent that it is a means by which one can have value as oneself, and to the extent that it is an ability that one creates by coming up with one’s own ideas, people with special abilities have a strong attachment to their abilities.

    And if you teach such a skill to someone, it is like being a ‘disciple’ or ‘successor’ who hopes that the person will pass on the skill or develop it further.

    Hye-ra Yoon and I-sun Yoon are like that.

    “The key to the undying flame is Ondol. You can think of it as an electric blanket or a heating ray.”

    I only act as a bridge between them to transmit the technology, and in reality, it is no different from Hye-ra Yoon transmitting this technology to I-seon Yoon.

    “The flame emitted from this flame transfers heat like water flowing through a pipe. Magic power is converted into heat and released to flow through the pipe. Like this.”

    I created an undying flame and then set the flame’s magic in motion in Yun Iseon’s room.

    “The room may be hot, so keep the heat to a minimum.”

    “Ah, thank you. I was wondering if I should turn on the air conditioner already.”

    “It’s not enough to set off a fire alarm, so you don’t have to worry.”

    The black flames sparkling with the color of my magic created a long heat ray on the table.

    The dark red magic power lines that waved up and down like an electric blanket covered a certain area of the table with heat rays, then returned to the original flame and were connected as a single line.

    “Did you ever experiment with electronic circuits in elementary school or middle school?”

    “Ah, yes. I did watch it on video. I wasn’t able to do the experiment myself, though.”

    “…The flame that does not go out is a battery. And the line created by this flame is a wire. In circuit experiments, the goal is to create light with something like a fairy light, but this is different.”

    “Heat is coming from the entire wire.”

    “Okay. Horsepower becomes geothermal heat.”

    Then, the heat rising from the bottom is used to turn the turbine.

    “Originally, the person who developed this ability was thinking of making rooms warm for free for the elderly who were struggling with the cost of boiler oil, but it was a mistake to use and abuse it economically.”

    The child’s pure intention became an auxiliary device for powering the factory through geothermal power generation due to the adult’s ugly desires.

    “Haegeun built this underground geothermal power plant in the Gumi Industrial Complex. We created a power plant using a facility that could turn a turbine. But no one could catch it. Why is that?”

    “You just need to install power generation facilities…?”

    “Okay. All you had to do was surround a large cylinder with an unquenchable flame in a circle, and then use the heat boiling inside the cylinder to create a facility that could generate electricity, whether it was boiling water or turning a turbine. And such facilities…”

    “It can be made quickly by mobilizing talented people.”

    “Yes.”

    Yun I-seon stood across the table from me and stretched out her hand.

    “Perhaps when Hye-ra created this ability, she made it so that magical sparks could pass through the boiler tube, right?”

    “Exact.”

    “The flames are probably…circuited to flow according to the structure of the boiler room and floor of the house.”

    “Perfect.”

    Light pink flames flow from Yun Yi-seon’s hands.

    The flame created a line as if burning on a rope, and the line moved along the table as if drawing magic.

    “The inner cavity where geothermal power generation takes place must have actually been an overlap of houses for senior citizens living alone? They only tore up the floor and put in pipes.”

    “That’s probably what I had the most trouble with. Rather than building a power generation facility, we would copy the ondol boiler piping in the elderly people’s small rooms. It must have been obvious to tear it apart yourself…I would have looked at the construction ledger and made the boiler with the same structure.”

    “And what flows inside it is magical power?”

    “Yes.”

    It wasn’t Yoon Hye-ra’s mana.

    “Yoonhye-ra wasn’t that kind of foolish person who only offered a favor once. I set it up so that whenever someone other than myself injects mana, the boiler runs using that mana.”

    “Safety measures have been put in place to ensure that people visit regularly. To prevent elderly people living alone from dying alone.”

    “Imagine that heroes visit regularly and compulsorily. It’s about building a social safety net. Whether it’s class E or class D.”

    It was a policy and technology to care for the elderly that started with Hye-ra Yoon’s warm heart, but the technology went into obscurity before the policy was fully activated.

    “…After finding out that the old people who made Hye-ra develop this technology on her own were actually actors recruited by Hae-geun, I barely managed to stop them from setting the entire Hae-geun factory on fire.”

    “Uh….”

    “There are always people working in factories. If civilians had died, Hyera Yoon herself would probably have become a devil.”

    It’s natural that the sun’s rays are burning, but the heads of families of this era who earn 200 or 300 a month and work until their heads fall off for their rabbit-like wives and fox-like children have burned to death in the flames of anger?

    This is something that will drive people crazy.

    “So, you shouldn’t be hurt. Whether it’s to stimulate patriotism or to arouse sympathy, they will use any means possible to get the geothermal power plant to restart.”

    “…Like this?”

    Grumbling.

    All the lines of pink flame created by Isun Yun began to burn brightly.

    Thanks to the continuous infusion of magical energy in real time, the lines of flame connected like one line of writing burn brilliantly and emit heat.

    “Wait.”

    After recovering my magic power, I got out of my seat and stood behind Yun Iseon.

    “Student Lee Seon?”

    “…….”

    “Where are you doodling on your desk during class?”

    It’s hard to see because it’s burning, but it’s ambiguous because it’s written in one line.

    “Do you want to have the genes of a goblin?”

    “As a fan.”

    “I think this is Ymir’s friend. Where are you playing pranks like this during class?”

    “But you definitely acquired the skills, right?”

    Yun Yi-seon stepped away from the flame she was holding in her hand.

    I immediately grabbed the flame she created and immediately poured my mana into it.

    “…Um.”

    The flow of pink burning flames slowly began to burn into black flames.

    Unlike Yoon I-seon’s flame, the heat was close to a small fire, but something like a faint haze was clearly beginning to rise above the table.

    “Hye-ra might be disappointed if I say I learned it for this reason?”

    “Hye-ra, would you be happy? The most certain trigger for awakening this ability is desire. Instead of trying to help people and getting caught, the best way is to grab a goblin bat and get their genes.”

    “Grunt.”

    I can’t refute it because it’s true.

    “By the way, teacher. I mean this. If you were to burn it yourself like this, wouldn’t it be very effective?”

    “If you have little mana.”

    Another point is taking advantage of Yoon Hye-ra’s favor.

    “When other people injected mana into this, the mana flowed straight through the pipe and released heat, regardless of the owner of the mana, but…”

    “Skilled person, is it cheaper than petroleum fuel?”

    “Yes.”

    If profitability is an issue, just replace the talented person.

    “Lee Seon-ah. Let me ask you a question. If you get this right, I will give you what you want as a reward.”

    “What do I want?”

    “Goblin gene.”

    “Oh….”

    Yun Yi-sun’s eyes sparkled and she straightened her posture.

    “It must be correct. Teacher, it’s not a question that is always wrong, is it? I believe so.”

    “You can rest assured that this is a question that can be answered sufficiently. However, if you think about the correct answer, it may be a little dirty, so take that into account.”

    “In what sense does it mean to be dirty? Something that reminds you of trash? Or…”

    Iseon Yoon pointed towards the TV.

    “Human waste?”

    “If I were to give a hint, I’d say it’s the latter.”

    “I’m glad it’s a dirty story. Because it won’t hurt my stomach.”

    “Instead, we may be afraid of destruction.”

    Like a meteorite.

    “The ‘unquenchable flame’ created by Hye-ra Yoon can also receive mana from other people with special abilities and emit heat. If so, problem. What kind of people did Sunshade mobilize with this ability?”

    “Is it subjective?”

    “No. Multiple choice.”

    I have no intention of making the problem difficult.

    “Number 1. A hero with plenty of mana.”

    “How many times are there?”

    “Well.”

    It cannot be specified.

    I don’t know exactly how much Sunshade mobilized.

    “No. 2. E- or D-level talented people being put into the social safety net.”

    “Considering that there are usually up to 5 multiple choice questions…I think the dirty talk will start now.”

    “For now, it’s up to number 4. number 3. A mana supply plan hired by paying money from Sunshade.”

    “You’re buying mana with money, right? If paying people is more economical and efficient than paying for fuel to run a generator or industrial electricity, then number 3 would be the correct answer…”

    Yun Yi-sun swallowed his saliva.

    “…What is number 4?”

    “It’s cheaper than tires or shoes.”

    last.

    “Villain locked in prison.”
