How a Black-Haired Barbarian Survived the Labyrinth in Another World-Chapter 40: Actually he’s a bit crazy
The day after buying a ring at the magic tool shop.
Jung Yu-shin left the inn after finishing his early morning exercise and eating breakfast.
“Darmong, I’ll be back.”
“Okay.”
He ran to the temple.
Since he had the female corruption prevention ring on, he could learn to read and write among the children without any ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) worries.
He gritted his teeth to be on guard against the side effects, as Maya had advised. His sexual desire surged several times, but he never lost his mind like when he first put on the ring.
When he entered the orphanage, the children welcomed him.
“Ugh. You’re here again?”
“Whew. It’s scary.”
“Aren’t you working, sir?”
Jung Yu-shin nodded at the children’s enthusiastic welcome and found his seat.
He ignored the children’s chattering and sat down for a moment to wait.
A man entered the classroom.
His expression looked cold, perhaps because he was wearing glasses.
“Everyone be quiet.”
The man stood at the podium and looked around at the children.
The classroom became quiet in an instant.
The man and Jung Yu-shin made eye contact.
“Teacher Mi-on isn’t coming today.”
“Ugh...”
“Wow.”
The children made a noise full of complaints.
“Quiet.”
The man lightly knocked on the podium.
“We’ll start class today. Open your books. Take out your writing instruments.”
“Yes.”
The man conducted the class meticulously. The blackboard was filled with elegant writing.
Contrary to his cold appearance, he taught each and every student with care.
The male priest also meticulously checked Jung Yu-shin’s studies and did not spare any advice.
“···This character should have its strokes drawn downwards. If you bend it upwards, the meaning changes completely. Be careful.”
“You memorized all the words in the storybook? That’s great. Let’s move on to the next textbook. If you keep working hard, you’ll get good results.”
The class that started in the morning ended around lunchtime.
I was glad to be able to learn properly after a long time.
The children rushed out of the classroom to eat lunch.
Jung Yu-shin packed his writing utensils and books and put them in his teddy bear bag.
A male priest approached him.
“That’s not like Barbaro.”
“I’m sorry to hear that.”
“My name is Diego Perez. I’m a mid-level priest who serves the Earth Mother.”
Diego held out his hand.
“I see. Please take care of me.”
Jung Yu-shin took Diego’s hand.
Was it because of his mood?
Diego’s glasses sparkled.
Jung Yu-shin got up from his seat, carrying his teddy bear bag.
“Let’s meet up.”
“Yes.”
After leaving the orphanage, he went to the temple restaurant.
The menu was simple.
Black rye bread, tomato soup, and a small piece of cheese.
Jung Yu-shin put the food in his mouth and got up from his seat.
He had been thinking about going to the swordsmanship guild for the first time in a while.
It was the most valuable way to use the money he received from Karin.
In addition, as Mion had said, there was an elf there who could tell him the value of the Revenger seal.
He walked down the street in the early summer breeze and arrived at the swordsmanship guild.
As he entered the swordsmanship guild building, he saw an elf sitting at the reception desk.
“Are you here?”
The elf rested his chin on his hand and looked at Jung Yu-shin.
Ashur Startree.
City official sword master.
“Yes.”
Ashur held out his hand.
Jung Yu-shin took Ashur’s hand indifferently.
Ashur squinted and slapped Jung Yu-shin’s hand away.
“Money. 30 silver coins.”

“Yes.”
Jung Yu-shin put the pouch containing the 30 silver coins on the counter.
Ashur yawned and took out the silver coins one by one from his pocket and counted them.
“You burned a gold coin on the armor?”
Ashur muttered while counting the silver coins.
“Well, that’s how it turned out. Thanks to that, I was able to save my life.”
Jung Yu-shin looked around the swordsmanship guild and answered.
“Isn’t this your third time going to the labyrinth? No matter how much Karin likes you, you need to take care of yourself. You’re a beginner explorer. Stay safe and calmly improve your skills on the lower floors.”
“Yes.”
“Tsk. Let’s go. To the training grounds.”
Ashur put the silver coins back in his pocket and stood up.
The training ground was crowded with people.
Ashur and Jung Yu-shin held their wooden swords and faced each other.
“You must have a lot of money judging by your face.”
“Not much.”
“You’re a big, fat pig. Let’s get some.”
“Shouldn’t we go back to the training ground first?”
“You run around Darmon’s yard at dawn, don’t you?”
“Are you a vicious stalker?”
Jung Yu-shin glared at Ashur.
Ashur smirked and then hardened his expression.
“Friend, your eyes are a little weird?”
“I’m sorry. I’ll open them nicely.”
“No. Not that. Come here for a moment.”
Jung Yu-shin approached Ashur.
‘What’s wrong?’
Ashur squinted his eyes and observed Jung Yu-shin’s eyes.
“What happened to you in the labyrinth?”
“Why are you like that?”
“The madness of ‘darkness’ is swaying in your eyes.”
“Ah.”
He was swallowed up by a black portal with Karin on the 4th floor of the labyrinth.
He was transferred to the 5th floor and was unconscious for several hours without a torch.
“I was on the 5th floor without a torch for about 3 hours. I’m not sure.”
“Are you crazy?”
“I couldn’t help it.”
Jung Yu-shin briefly explained what happened at the labyrinth investigation team.
Ashur stuck out his tongue.
“That should make you crazy. Are you really okay?”
Jung Yu-shin thought deeply about what happened in the labyrinth.
He spoke honestly to Karin, spoke informally to Gil-seon, and even killed a monster with his teeth, but there were no major problems.
Isn’t this a common adventure that most explorers experience?
Jung Yu-shin took his hand off his chin and looked at Ashur.
“No problem.”
“Huh. How strange. Killa!”
Ashur called the vice-chairman of the swordsmanship association.
A moment later, a bald man walked out into the yard.
“What’s going on?”
“Come here and look at this guy’s eyes.”
Killa approached and looked into Jung Yu-shin’s eyes.
“I’m not sure, but they’re a bit shiny.”
“Right? This guy’s been in the lower levels of the labyrinth without a torch for hours.”
“Hmm.”
Killa stroked his hairless head.
“It’s brave that he’s not crazy.”
“I don’t know. I’ll have to look now.”
Ashur held out a finger.
“How many do you think this is?”
“It looks like one.”
“What about this guy?”
Ashur pointed to Killa.
“You seem like a sincere person.”
Jung Yu-shin answered clearly.
Killa nodded and gave a thumbs up.
“How do I look?”
Ashur pointed to himself.
“Are you being honest?”
“Yes. Talk comfortably.”
“You look a little sullen.”
“...”
Ashur glared at Jung Yu-shin.
Ashur turned his head and looked at the vice-chairman.
“Is this guy crazy?”
“I think he just told the truth.”
Killa defended Jung Yu-shin.
“The vice-chairman should return to work.”
Ashur glared at Killa and pointed to the swordsmanship guild building.
“It’s not my job, but I’ll go to work.”
“Your tongue is long. That’s why you’re bald. You’ve grown your tongue long without even having time to grow hair, so it’s a proper karma.”
Killa ignored Ashur’s words, patted Jung Yu-shin on the shoulder, and left the yard.
Ashur asked again.
“Have you ever had a hard time suppressing your impulses?”
Jung Yu-shin stroked his chin and thought deeply.
It’s been four months since you had a baby, so it’s hard to suppress your impulses?
No.
There was a time when he briefly lost consciousness at the magic tool shop, but neither the dwarf store owner nor Maya mentioned what Jung Yu-shin was trying to do.
They just advised him to be careful.
They probably didn’t say anything because it wasn’t that big of a deal.
He made that judgment and opened his mouth.
“I’m suppressing it well.”
“Be careful. Right now, the madness is quietly sleeping, but at an extreme moment, it will burst out and swallow you up."
“Tenika.”
“What happens if you get swallowed?”
“It’s the end.”
“Is there a way back?”
“No.”
The Din of the Kaal Party flashed through his mind.
A boy who lost consciousness in the darkness of the labyrinth.
Ashur pointed to Jung Yu-shin’s eyes.
“Protect your mind.”
Jung Yu-shin frowned at the empty words.
“Please explain it in a more understandable way.”
“Get your mind together.”
“How?”
“It’s obvious what a prosecutor should do. Swing your sword hard. Don’t swing it like an animal. Engrave the sword’s path on your body and mind.”
“I understand for now.”
“And don’t enter the labyrinth. For the time being.”
“Suddenly?”
“Do you really want to turn back?”
“...Well, I understand for now.”
“What’s that ring?”
Ashur looked at the ring on Jung Yu-shin’s finger and asked.
“It’s a seal suppression ring.”
“What seal suppression?”
“It’s a virgin female corruption seal.”
“Really? You’ve got all sorts of strange seals. There must be side effects to the seal suppression magic tool.”
Ashur casually brushed aside Jung Yu-shin’s seal.
“They say it increases sexual desire.”
“Take off the ring as much as possible.”
“Why should I do that?”
“You’re unstable right now. You’re easily swayed by strong desires.”
Since we’re talking about seals, there was one more thing he wanted to ask.
“Do you know about the Revenger seal?”
“I know.”
“How good is it?”
“It depends on your skill.”
“Please explain in detail.”
“What else is there to explain in detail? In order for the Revenger imprint to fully activate, you have to get hit by the opponent and you have to hit the opponent. If the skill gap is too big, your head will be blown off or the opponent will die before the Revenger imprint even activates. It’s good when you hit and take on equal skills. It’ll be good when you’re dealing with a lot of guys.”
Ashur added, pointing at Jung Yu-shin with his finger.
“In the end, what I’m saying is that as a swordsman, your skills are important.”
“So the Revenger imprint is an imprint that gets better the higher your skills get.”
“Yeah. You could see it that way.”
Ashur nodded, then looked at Jung Yu-shin and continued.
“Don’t pretend to be sane and go home. I’ll go to the Magic Tower for a bit.”
“Why are you going to the Magic Tower?”
“Are you a stalker? Stop asking.”
“...”
Jung Yu-shin was speechless and stared blankly at Ashur.
After a while, Jung Yu-shin managed to speak.
“I already paid the tuition?”
“I’m paying it all, so don’t worry.”
“Well... I understand.”
“Go and be quiet. Until I call you.”
“Yes.”
Jung Yu-shin scratched his head at Ashur’s order to ward off evil and left the Swordsmanship Guild building.
Are you crazy?
That doesn’t seem right.
He repeated what Karin had told him. However, Jung Yu-shin thought that even Karin wouldn’t have been able to properly measure the time in the darkness.
He walked around the southern area. It was quiet around lunchtime.
“Black hair over there.”
Someone called Jung Yu-shin.
When he turned around, a man was standing there.
He was carrying a sword wrapped in bandages on his shoulder.
He had an iron mask on his face and a robe wrapped around his head.
He looked suspicious enough that the guards would run to him.
“What is it?”
“I want to register as an explorer. Where should I go?”
“You can go to the explorer headquarters in the central area. It’s in the far left corner. You can register there by paying 10 silver coins.”
“I’m new here, so I can’t tell even if I look at the map. Can you point to me with your finger?”
The man approached him and handed him a map. It was a tourist map of the Labyrinth City.
A coppery smell pierced his nose. It was a mixture of the smell of chemicals and the smell of rotten seafood. It wasn’t a good smell.
Jung Yu-shin glanced at the man and tapped a place marked on the map.
“Here it is.”
The man nodded.
“Confirmed. Thank you.”
“No problem.”
Jung Yu-shin left the man.
“Are you Barbaroi?”
Iron Mask asked.
“Yes. Is this your first time seeing me?”
“I’ve heard a lot of rumors.”
What an innocent Iron Mask.
Jung Yu-shin decided to say something to the man.
“Be careful. All the other Barbaroi are crazy.”
“What are you talking about?”
“They are the ones who commit indiscriminately, regardless of whether they are men or women. Should I call them the outlaws of the Labyrinth City? They have no respect for virtue and act as they please, like villains.”
“···Aren’t you Barbaroi too?”
“I’m a good Barbaroi who doesn’t rape.”
Jung Yu-shin said seriously.
“Huh.”
The man looked at Jung Yu-shin for a moment, then turned around and said.
“I’ll see you often. I’m not sure, but I feel like I’ll see you often.”
“Yes.”
The man in the iron mask slowly walked forward after saying that.
He seemed very suspicious, but his actions and words showed that he had been properly educated.
Furthermore, the two eyes visible through the eye sockets of the mask were clearly clear and firm.
Perhaps because he was a noble man, he spoke politely to him naturally.
Jung Yu-shin felt the gaze of the general store owner looking at him from the side.
He was a man who had helped him several times when he bought supplies for dungeon exploration.
“Master, the world is wide and there are many unusual people.”
Jung Yu-shin looked at the general store owner and said.
“Barbaroi, you are the most unusual.”
The general store owner replied.
“Are you dissatisfied with my speech? Let’s go inside for a moment and talk. Let’s talk openly.”
Jung Yu-shin approached him stealthily.
The color drained from the general store owner’s face.
“What...what are you complaining about? Have we only met once or twice? The people of the eastern district know very well that you are a great Barbaro who protects the good customs of the city. I was just joking. Seriously.”
“I was just joking.”
The general store owner’s face twitched at Jung Yu-shin’s response.
“You...are so funny that my belly button is tickling. You have a great sense of humor.”
The general store owner barely managed to reply.
“Let’s make a face. I can’t even joke.”
Jung Yu-shin shrugged and started walking again.
The general store owner sighed deeply as he watched Jung Yu-shin’s back as he walked away.
‘What the hell happened in the labyrinth? That crazy Barbaro guy.’
