How a Black-Haired Barbarian Survived the Labyrinth in Another World-Chapter 140: The Test of Tepidity

Karin closed her mouth and looked down at Jung Yu-shin.

Judging by his sparkling eyes, he had already made up his mind.

But.

“With that body?”

Jung Yu-shin shook his head.

“The physical retrograde imprint must be removed.”

Even though he had finished his training and taken an elixir to increase his magical power, it was difficult to stay in the labyrinth for a long time.

Since he didn’t know how many enemies he would face, he couldn’t just use his magical power like he did in the city.

The labyrinth was a place where anything could happen.

Assuming the worst case scenario, he absolutely had to have a certain weight class and physical strength.

He had to be able to march for days and nights in the dark labyrinth while carrying a heavy load, without any proper rest.

Of course, he had to endure the pressure that was closing in from all sides. He had to brace his mentality that was collapsing due to the deaths of his comrades and various traps.

Protecting your mentality is the essence of the labyrinth.

And a healthy mentality comes from muscles trained to the limit.

In such a situation, going into the labyrinth with such a childish body?

Pleading to be killed.

‘I should go back to my original body.’

Jeong Yu-shin laughed heartily.

“What? Do you regret it?”

Karin sighed deeply and thought to herself.

‘Would Mion allow that?’

Mion’s desperate opposition to Scar’s return to his original state was vivid in her mind.

“Do whatever you want. There’s something I need to decide first.”

“What?”

“We need to decide which area to enter first.”

“Can’t we go to the ‘Forest’ area?”

“Didn’t you hear what was announced at the Wind Spirit Temple last time?”

“Huh? What did they say?”

“I overheard the guests talking about this and that. The forest area is currently overflowing with abyssal magic. They told me not to go in for the time being.”

“Hmm?”

Jung Yu-shin stroked his chin.

He must have buried the ‘holy relic’ to stabilize the abyssal magic.

‘Was that not enough?’

Or should we say that the experiment using the ‘holy relic’ failed?

It could be that even if there were short-term results, it would be impossible to block the abyssal magic in the long term.

“Then let’s exclude the ‘forest’ area. Which area do you think would be good, Karin?”

Karin twitched her red tail as she pondered.

“The areas I usually go to are the ‘corridor’ and ‘forest’ areas. However, we should think carefully about our party composition, right? It’s not like we’re the only two going into the labyrinth.”

Jung Yu-shin nodded.

Karin was right.

The Iron Mask Forest chose party members considering the characteristics of the area.

“There’s a lot to prepare.”

“That’s right. It’s also important to wear equipment appropriate for the area. There’s no need to rush. It’s not too late to prepare calmly and then enter the labyrinth.”

“Should I?”

“That’s right. If you’re having trouble deciding which area to enter, asking Mion for advice might be a good idea. That damp priest will have more experience than me.”

Karin bit her lips slightly as if she was uncomfortable after finishing her words.

Jeong Yu-shin thought ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) about it carefully and opened her mouth.

“That’s right. I made money by selling magic stones this time, but I want to get some good equipment. The problem is, I don’t know which materials are good. Help me.”

“Materials? How much is your budget?”

“About 70 gold coins?”

“What?!”

Karin’s eyes widened. Jeong Yu-shin shrugged.

“This brother made some money.”

“...”

Karin glared at him coldly.

If another man had been spouting nonsense, I would have slapped him in the face, but Scar’s words made him look alive. They say that if you’re handsome, even if you commit a crime, you’ll be popular.

That’s why I was a little upset.

“As long as the materials are as cheap and good as possible, right?”

“Yes. Tell me the details with your ears. Even if the equipment you have to wear is different for each labyrinth area, there must be some equipment that you use in common, right? Let’s get the materials based on that first.”

“Really? Leave it to me.”

Jung Yu-shin got up from his seat.

“I put the money in my closet. Take it out if you need it. I’ll go to the Earth Mother Temple and come back.”

“Be careful.”

Karin warned in a low voice.

Jung Yu-shin tilted his head.

‘Is there anything to watch out for?’

“Okay.”

* * *

“No!”

Mi-on crossed his arms to block.

Jung Yu-shin blankly looked up at Mi-on.

“Yes?”

“No!”

“Mr. Mi-on···.”

Mi-on bit his lips tightly.

Seeing Ska-nim, who had come to the morning class after a long time, made his heart sink for a moment, feeling happy.

‘You’ve completely changed.’

If Ska-nim had looked like a cute little devil a month ago,

he had now become a sharp pretty boy with a fatal charm.

Mi-on unconsciously wrinkled his nose.

Is this what a young beast smells like?

The smell of an unripe male. Even the smell of sweat coming from the nape of his neck was sweet.

Mi-on felt her face flushing hotly.

During class, he barely suppressed the sly desire to cling to Ska-nim and rub his chest.

When break time came, all the girls in the orphanage were clinging to Ska-nim and acting cute.

‘Ska-nim. Do you want to go for a walk in the park with me?’

‘Ska-nim. Should I show you my room?’

‘Me, me first!’

‘Ugh!’

Mion also felt the urge to cling to him.

However, he couldn’t forget his duty as a teacher, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and prepare for the next class.

After many twists and turns, class ended and it was lunchtime, so they gathered in his room. Just the two of them.

And then.

His heart sank once again at the words Ska-nim spoke.

“W...you’re going back to how you were?! No way!”

Tears welled up in Mion’s squinted eyes.

‘We haven’t even showered together yet. I couldn’t even use my lap pillow. I couldn’t sleep with him! I couldn’t do anything! At least go on a date!’

At least I wanted to capture the lovely and cute appearance of Ska-nim in my eyes, but suddenly...

“···Mr. Mi-on.”

Jung Yu-shin scratched his head.

For some reason, he felt sorry when he saw Mr. Mi-on looking aggrieved.

‘I’ve been neglecting my writing class lately.’

I’ve been busy with this and that, so I’ve had less time to read books.

I could make excuses, but it was meaningless.

It was my fault for spending time on this and that, intoxicated by my superior appearance.

Of course, I didn’t regret the time I spent training with Ashur or beating up drug dealers.

It was something I absolutely had to do.

‘Ah!’

Jung Yu-shin’s eyes lit up.

He thought he knew why Mr. Mi-on was shedding tears.

It was a pity that I was so ignorant that I couldn’t even think of growing by taking advantage of this great opportunity.

Jeong Yu-shin carefully opened his mouth.

“You look very depressed. Do you have any advice, Mion Shin-gwan?”

“Yes...yes!”

Mion quickly continued.

“I guess your learning ability has improved with the physical retrograde imprint?”

“Yes.”

“Then how about using this opportunity to learn the letters a little more? Isn’t this a good opportunity?”

“...”

I knew that it was difficult to learn letters overnight.

In fact, one of the things I had the hardest time with since coming to the Labyrinth City was learning to write.

“Then I will do that.”

Since I had already learned something, it wouldn’t hurt to refine my writing skills.

Thinking about it, I thought that the physical retrograde imprint might be a blessing in terms of studying.

Correcting the wrong path.

Learning to write with a head that was spinning.

Isn’t this a chance to polish the knowledge part a little more based on the difficult experience?

Maybe he’s trying to push himself too hard.

Karin’s worried expression also crossed his mind.

Mion wiped away the tears welling up in his eyes and raised her hand to pat Jung Yu-shin’s head.

“Ska-nim, how are you?”

“I’ll try to learn the letters earnestly for the time being.”

“Good. Really.”

Jung Yu-shin couldn’t see. The sight of Mion’s red tongue licking her lips seductively.

“My lord, I still want to learn one thing.”

“What is it?”

“I heard that the ‘forest’ area has now become a dangerous place.”

Mion also nodded quickly.

“Ah! Yes. I heard that the abyss’ magic is concentrated there.”

“Then, I have to choose between the ‘Corridor’ and ‘Underpass’ areas. Is there an area you recommend?”

“Hmm.”

Mion thought deeply and opened her mouth.

“I’ll have to think about this a little more.”

“Okay.”

Mion gently stroked Jung Yu-shin’s head.

‘I think I’m going to get addicted.’

I like the original Ska-nim, but this cute Ska-nim was special.

It was even more so because I wouldn’t be able to see her for a long time.

‘I’ll enjoy it to the fullest.’

Mion smiled like a saint, hiding her gloomy feelings.

* * *

A month had passed since then.

Jung Yu-shin’s life had become the same as before.

At dawn, he learned dagger fighting from Karin, and from morning to afternoon, he learned writing from Mion.

None of it was easy.

In fact, it was more difficult.

Karin's dagger fighting was a series of difficult techniques, as it was the vision of the Red Wolf Clan.

Mion's teachings also became more advanced.

It was not at the level of children's storybooks of the past, but mainly novels with slightly more difficult words or books containing short knowledge.

Even in the midst of all this, he did not forget to visit the swordsmanship guild from time to time and spar with the members.

Several women who seemed to be explorers approached him and tried to become friends, but Jeong Yu-shin shook his head and declined.

He had long since abandoned the plan to sleep soundly and slackly.

Instead, he polished himself by following the teachings of many people.

A month later, in the dawn of late summer.

Under the dawn slowly climbing up the wall, Karin and Jung Yu-shin were holding daggers in the backyard of the inn.

Both of them were drenched in sweat after several sparring matches.

Karin rushed in and swung two daggers.

From left to right.

From below diagonally.

Shrik!!!

The daggers slashed sharply.

Jung Yu-shin glared and clashed the daggers.

Kang!!!

Kagan!!!

She blocked it and stabbed it right away.

Karin turned sideways to avoid the daggers stabbing her stomach, and she snaked over Scar's arm and aimed for his neck.

Jung Yu-shin didn't even blink even though the cool dagger touched her neck.

'If I just block the aorta here...?'

She gave her neck and stabbed her chest.

“Scar, stop.”

Suddenly hearing Karin’s voice, Jung Yu-shin came to his senses.

Karin was looking down with a tired expression.

“Scar, come to your senses.”

“Whew. Sorry. But this dagger technique is really hard. My head is spinning.”

Since the reach was shorter than that of a longsword, the results of the hand-to-hand fight were instantly apparent.

Since he had to respond quickly, his head felt hot in an instant.

Karin wiped away the sweat and smiled.

“Would it be our tribe’s dagger technique for nothing? Even so, someone like you would learn it very quickly.” freewēbnoveℓ.com

“Is that so?”

“Yes. Oh! And I finished talking to Swings. All the materials we need will be ready. All we have to do is request equipment production.”

“Really? That’s good.”

Jung Yu-shin wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and looked up at the sky.

Was it because of his mood that the sky looked clearer?

If it were now.

He was confident that he would overcome the madness even if he returned to his original body.

At least he wouldn't see things or take off his pants in broad daylight.

Karin handed him a towel.

"You said Mion had a test today, right?"

"Yes."

It was unusual for Mion to give a test. He had no complaints. It was a chance to test his studies.

"What should I do so that you can go with me?"

"I'll finish quickly and come back."

Jung Yu-shin ate breakfast and ran to the Earth Mother Temple.

"Ska, brother!"

As soon as he entered the classroom, the girls swarmed him.

Jung Yu-shin snickered.

It didn't take long for the names to change from uncle to oppa, and from oppa to oppa.

On the other hand, the eyes of the boys gradually became more hostile.

"Even Lily...ugh! I liked you first!" “The ice-cold class president can smile like that. It’s shocking.”

“Black-haired punk! Don’t go around smiling with that handsome face! Don’t let the girls fool you!”

“Why did the world give birth to me and that guy? Ah!”

Some boys even spoke like old men, which was unusual for their age, because they were so miserable.

Jung Yu-shin brushed his hair back and made a cold expression.

“Don’t fall for me.”

“Huh?!”

The girls clenched their hands and looked at Jung Yu-shin.

“I’m a dangerous man.”

The girls’ eyes rolled at Jung Yu-shin’s words.

“What, you’re cool!”

“Gyahhhh!!! Brother!”

“Dangerous boy!”

Sweat dripped from Jung Yu-shin’s forehead.

‘This is really dangerous, you guys.’

It seemed like they thought the virgin female corruption imprint was a joke.

While the girls gathered around Jung Yu-shin and chattered loudly.

Knock knock.

The classroom door opened and Mion came in and stood at the table.

“Okay! Everyone, please take your seats.”

““Yes!””

Jung Yu-shin finished the class while receiving the attention of both the girls and the boys.

After barely finishing the morning class and having lunch, they gathered in Mion’s room.

“Then, let’s start the ‘test’.”

Mion said solemnly.

“Yes.”

Jung Yu-shin nodded with shining eyes.

I’ll show you.

The knowledge that I honed with my head spinning!

“Huh? Oh, oh? There’s no paper?”

Mion muttered to herself while creaking.

“Oh, I can’t help it.”

“...?”

Mi-on took off her white priest’s robe and revealed her black priest’s robe.

She held out her soft belly towards Jeong Yu-shin.

“I-I don’t have anywhere to write, so I guess I can write here.”

“Huh?”

Jeong Yu-shin stared blankly at Mi-on’s soft belly.

A platinum-colored sacred pattern was shining on the lower abdomen of her black priest’s robe that clung tightly to her.

“Mi, Mi-on Priest?”

Mi-on’s seductive tongue licked her lips.

“Test begins ♥”
