Guarantee Men's Rights (2)
Muscles grow stronger the more you use them. They tear and relax, get injured and heal—that's how they toughen up. Push too hard, and they'll rupture beyond repair, but stimulate them just a bit beyond what the body can handle, and they grow. The male organ—what we call the manastick—works the same way. It's a technique discovered by the "Duke of Earth," Hydra.
"Simple. Just infuse mana into the manastick."
I began my lecture to the special class in the old school building's classroom.
"It's called the Jerque technique."
The thing known as the "Jelq exercise" in the real world.
"By continuously circulating mana through the manastick, it seeps into every crevice, expanding the organ itself. Not by yanking it from the outside, but by settling mana inside and steadily pushing outward to grow it."
This was one of the mana cultivation methods humanity lost when the demonkin were driven to the demon realm.
"Through sustained mana infusion and stimulation, you increase the space it can hold. And when those pathways empty out, the human body naturally expands to fill the void."
Developed ages ago, surface humanity had no choice but to live with what they were given, ignorant of this method.
"We talked about the side effects, right? Yeah, this is how it gets bigger. Once the skin and flesh stretch, they don't shrink back—like creating internal space that permanently enlarges the manastick itself."
Ages ago. Back when demonkin like Hydra and Chang Yeom still lived alongside humans on the surface.
Hey, do you know how much praise I got from men? They called me the Hydra of the big shots, the Hydra of the massive tools. So humans should be furious. It wiped out a cultivation art that let every male grow to perfectly fit his mate!
Even those born small could have become huge with Hydra's mana cultivation. Anyone could.
"Once non-attribute mana theory spread, not just faculty but even academy students who overheard it started secretly training in it, right? Same deal here. If you know the method, anyone can do it."
That was the world back then.
"I didn't invent this myself. Found it adventuring a monster zone, in some dungeon-like spot."
"A dungeon... with a technique like this...?"
"Weird, huh? Why seal something like that in ruins? Probably some faction didn't want it spreading."
The goddess and angels, maybe.
That world vanished when the goddess shoved all the demonkin, Hydra and Chang Yeom included, into hell.
If asked if the Jerque technique really exists somewhere in this world—no, but I had a plausible cover story prepped from hell.
"Maybe someone branded this mana cultivation 'heresy,' banning the Jerque technique outright. Users died off, records erased."
"That's..."
"But someone sealed it away, and I found it. Something like that."
Surely among the angels, there were a few who benefited from Hydra's method despite joining the exile to hell. Like Futariel, maybe. Angels who walked the path of lilies but hadn't fully surrendered their female forms.
"Probably the reason for the seal. ...Endless applications."
Everyone listened intently.
"So, Phoenix Doctor. What applications do you see?"
"I'm not a doctor or a PhD, Professor Cardisha."
"Ah, sorry. Slipped out. Felt like I was at some academic journal presentation. Heh."
Not alchemy or magitech, but a new theory in mana biology—Instructor Cardisha already eyed me like some prodigy dropping a breakthrough paper.
"Um, so... did that cultivation method make it that big?"
Unia pointed at my lower half.
"Is Phoenix's... from that technique...?"
Pants hid it, but Unia knew my size well enough.
"Nah, mine was just big to start."
"Oh, got it!"
The Jerque technique was Hydra's mercy for the so-called "small ones."
"Think of it like injecting air into bread dough. Slice a loaf, and you see those air pockets between the crumb."
Those born big, or who grew plenty without it, didn't need the method much.
"But with mana cultivation, you can get even bigger."
"...Bigger than that?"
"Yep."
Unia's eyes shook wide.
Sensitive topic, sure, but Unia raised no real objections to the Jerque technique.
Why? Because...
"Temporarily enlarging specific body parts with mana... It's not impossible, theoretically."
Her intuition verified it easily.
"But won't it turn spongy?"
"Huh?"
"No, the bread thing. Doesn't a baguette go all soft and squishy if you pump it full of air?"
"Exactly. That's why the Jerque technique's 'sustained magic' fixes that flaw."
I extended my hand to Unia.
"Middle finger—wanna feel?"
"Middle finger..."
Unia cautiously gripped my middle finger.
"!!"
Infuse mana between cells per the Jerque method, and it lengthens. Not a sudden stretch, but overall growth—about 0.2cm this time.
"Repeat the stimulation to fix it permanently. This is just temporary."
"This..."
Unia kneaded my finger, but it stayed firm, not soft.
"Hardening...?"
"Or, getting harder."
Mana fills the voids. But if that mana hardens like pebbles?
"Pump white cream cheese frosting into a soufflé, squeeze it—soft, right? Now freeze it. Rock hard."
"Some water-attribute magic involved?"
"Nah, just an analogy. Jerque's sustained, though."
Unia, as expected. She intuited water mana could mimic it.
Hydra's side feels firm and heavy, Rusalka's soft and jiggly... Puhuhu.
Men revered Hydra of the Seed; women, Rusalka of the Snowy Night. True saviors and goddesses to the "small ones."
"But is it just for men?"
Rydmila asked carefully.
"Only works on males?"
"Nah. Works on any mana-bearing lifeform."
Mostly used for breeding aid, but versatile elsewhere.
"Pump mana between bones to grow taller."
"What?!"
Evangeline shot up from her seat.
"R-Really?!"
"Yeah. Bones have nasty side effects, though."
"Wh-what side effects? Permanent growth?"
"Nah. Mana pries bone gaps open—excruciating pain as they expand. Gotta go slow over ages."
"S-so you can grow?"
"Yep. Other drawbacks too, but table that."
I pointed to the chalkboard sketch of the male manastick, Jerque target.
"Key to Jerque: constant mana stimulation. Not just image training—daily life needs it too."
I glanced at Instructor Esta, then her magitech panel relaying to remote listeners.
"Straight talk, folks. This is basically wearing mana-made underwear 24/7. Not ordinary undies—the kind that stimulates nonstop."
Silence.
"Draw a magic circle inside the underwear for perpetual stimulation. Social side effect? Obvious."
Only guy in the old building was me, so they said "that," but...
"Healthy guys perk up at a brush."
Panel listeners got it instantly.
Mana undies with constant vibe? Manastick status?
"You get it, and the worries too."
"What worries...?"
"Manasticks already leak mana easy—now packed full? Mana drain hits harder."
Obvious. More mana means more to steal—exposes it to drainers.
"But if the infused mana unites into a 'barrier'? Seals leaks?"
Yes. A thin epidermal barrier of mana particles under the skin.
Just a mana condom, right? Puhuhu.
"Resist the suction, keep the barrier intact—no mana loss."
Anti-drain barrier, but also clutch-moment technique.
"Yeah. Buff skill. Swell and harden trained mana-muscles instantly at peak times."
Buffs shine against tough foes.
"In other words, the Big Cumming Battle Skill."
Bigification. Buff active? Anyone hits 180mm.
"Literal magic."
