How a Black-Haired Barbarian Survived the Labyrinth in Another World-Chapter 16: Class and then the labyrinth again

The next day.

Jung Yu-shin woke up early in the morning, had breakfast, and left the inn.

He arrived at the temple through the crowd.

“You can go there.”

The temple guard pointed to one side.

There was a large brick house with a yard a little way from the temple.

As he crossed the yard and entered the house, he heard a commotion.

“Emma! Come quickly! He’s coming today.”

“I see. Why is it so special when I see him every time?”

“Oh my, he’s so pretty! I want to see him every day?”

Jung Yu-shin approached the young girls who were talking.

“Over there..”

“Gyaaaah!”

The two of them backed away in shock.

“Who..who are you?”

“I came to learn to read.”

“Huh?”

The short girl’s eyes widened.

“You came to learn.”

“Isn’t this an orphanage?”

“I heard they teach you how to read and write. I paid the money.”

“Aha! I see. You came to learn how to read and write. I also thought you were Barbaroi, who I heard rumors about, coming to hunt girls? I’m sorry for the mistake.”

The short girl nodded.

“That’s Barbaroi.”

“Huh?”

There was silence for a moment.

The girl backed away.

“No way.”

Before she felt like explaining, she felt tired.

“I came to learn how to read and write. You wouldn’t come to the orphanage to hunt in broad daylight?”

But she explained anyway. If a small misunderstanding grew bigger, the temple wouldn’t look favorably on you. If something unpleasant happened, you’d be kicked out. She also paid a large sum of money, one silver coin.

Fortunately, the girl was convinced.

“Yes. I misunderstood. Just follow me.”

I followed the girl down the hallway and entered what appeared to be a classroom.

There were several chairs and desks in a fairly large room.

The children were sitting in their seats and chatting.

“Huh? Emma! Who is that guy?”

A girl said to the girl standing next to Jung Yu-shin.

“He’s here to learn.”

“Wow. You’re a grown man, and you’re here?”

“I heard this is the cheapest place.”

Jung Yu-shin answered casually.

“Oh. Yes.”

The girl suddenly became shy.

She seemed unfamiliar with talking to adults.

‘I feel awkward too.’

I looked around here and there, there were children.

I looked around there and there, and somehow found an empty seat.

I could hear whispering voices and glancing glances.

Jung Yu-shin felt like a monkey in a zoo.

“Good morning, everyone. Please take your seats.”

The classroom door opened and a woman came in.

‘Mion, the priest?’

Mion, with her blond hair and white priest’s uniform, looked different from the last time I saw her.

She was wearing a loose white outer garment instead of a tight black priest’s uniform. A black hem could be seen underneath her clothes, but overall, she looked divine and maternal.

At Mion’s words, the children each went to their seats and sat down.

The children looked at Mion with eyes sparkling with admiration.

“We have a new friend today. Should we all clap to welcome him?”

“Yes! Teacher.”

Clap, clap, clap.

The classroom was filled with the sound of clapping. Jung Yu-shin couldn’t stay still either, so he clapped his hands. It was strange for someone who was welcomed to clap, but he wanted to do something.

“Okay, today’s class is..”

The class led by Mi-on went smoothly.

Jung Yu-shin sighed inwardly as he looked at the textbook he received from Mi-on.

The Woodcutter and the Spirit of the Earth.

Judging by the pictures, it was a simple storybook that a 6-year-old would read.

‘Wake up, Jung Yu-shin. You can’t get full on the first drink. Let’s do it diligently.’

He held back his mind from the sage time and stared at Mi-on, who was standing at the blackboard.

He focused all his mind on Mi-on’s words and the writing on the blackboard. He ignored the children’s glances.

‘Let’s just do what we have to do.’

Time passed and the morning class ended.

“Okay. That’s it for today. Please make sure to do your ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) homework, we’ll check it tomorrow.”

“Yes! Teacher.”

The children laughed and shouted.

Jung Yu-shin got up from his seat, packing his luggage. He said lunch would be provided at the temple, so he planned to eat quickly, stop by the inn, prepare for the exploration, and then head to the union.

‘Time is a bit tight.’

It would be a waste to waste time looking for a restaurant.

Jung Yu-shin said to Mi-on, who was about to leave.

“Teacher, where do you eat lunch?”

“Ah! Mr. Ska, follow me. The children won’t be full, so eat at the temple restaurant. I’ll show you around.”

Mi-on smiled faintly and answered.

“Yes, priest.”

He left the classroom and walked down the hallway next to Mi-on.

“How was class today?”

“It was good.”

He answered simply. Since he was close to her, a sweet scent wafted from Mi-on’s body, penetrating his nostrils and shaking his brain.

Soft and warm voice.

Beauty that made him feel a divine presence beyond beauty.

Her dazzling beauty instantly shattered the stereotype that her eyes were secretive and gloomy.

“I came to check on Mr. Ska today. Today wasn’t my day to teach.”

“I see. Did you pass?”

“Yes. You can keep coming. After all, the explorers are a bit sharp. I filter out those who could be a bad influence on the children on behalf of the temple.”

“Yes.”

Strange.

‘But I’m Barbaro?’

The girl named Emma I saw this morning also talked about ‘girl hunting’ and such.

She didn’t accept me at the party either, so she ended up in a closed party.

I know because there were other things going on.

Barbaro himself is a synonym for bad influence.

No. It’s not something to be strange about.

Mion, who has a noble character that is not swayed by ghost stories and prejudices, is right.

Jung Yu-shin and Mi-on arrived at the restaurant of the temple, chatting about this and that with a light heart.

“Then I’ll see you later. I hope your exploration is safe.”

Mi-on bowed her head slightly in greeting.

“Yes, thank you.”

After seeing Mi-on off, they entered the restaurant.

The priests of the temple were all gathered together, quietly eating food. Jung Yu-shin also lined up on one side to receive food and sat down in an empty seat.

The meal was simple.

Rye bread, small pieces of cheese, and potato soup.

They quickly finished their meal and left the restaurant.

‘We can’t be late.’

* * *

They stopped by the inn to pack their bags and arrived at the association.

It was easy to find the goblin party because it was deserted with no people.

“I thought you weren’t coming.”

Del grumbled.

It was refreshing to see the goblins cross their arms and grumble.

“Sorry. Something came up today.”

“Let’s go.”

Del said, lifting up his wooden bow. As expected of a former elf, he seemed to be good at handling a bow.

Dwarf Einhofer, human wizard Kelton, and gnome Ditto gathered their things and stood up.

When I looked at their weapons, they were quite unusual.

The dwarf was wearing heavy armor, a horned helmet, and a long single-edged axe. The iron gauntlets with densely packed iron spikes caught my eye.

The wizard was wearing a robe and carrying a staff and sword.

Jeong Yu-shin stared blankly at the arming sword hanging from the wizard’s waist. Then their eyes met. Wizard Kelton shrugged his shoulders without saying a word.

Gnome Ditto’s equipment consisted of leather armor, two daggers, a crossbow, and a short sword. He was light and had little luggage.

“I’m the guide, so the load should be light. Sympathy Barbaroi.”

Dito read Jung Yu-shin’s gaze and answered.

“Since a newbie has come today, let’s take it easy. We can go around the outer perimeter of the second floor of the labyrinth and catch some goblins. We can also subdue them and collect some magic stones.”

It was funny that the goblin said he would catch another goblin.

Del suddenly glared at Jung Yu-shin.

“What? You had a strange thought?”

“No.”

“That’s right.”

“Are you going to keep standing here?”

The taciturn Einhofer finally spoke.

“Okay. Let’s go!”

Del took the lead and left the union.

The group left the southern area of ​​the city and entered the western area.

They walked through the deserted streets.

On the way to the Labyrinth.

I walked past several parties in the late spring sunlight. Their appearances and outfits were as diverse as the flowers that bloom in spring.

I entered the Great Labyrinth again.

There were many things that happened during my first entry, but I survived in the end. I learned something. I also got a positive imprint, although it was ordinary. It was a bit disappointing that it wasn’t a cheat-like imprint, but now that I think about it, I was thankful that I didn’t get a negative imprint.

As I walked with these thoughts, I arrived at the Great Labyrinth. I followed the soldiers’ instructions and stood in the magic circle.

“Are you nervous?”

Del said with a smirk.

“This is the second time. If I’m not nervous, I’m a weird guy.”

Jeong Yu-shin replied while fiddling with the flint in his pocket.

“Hmm.”

Einhofer made a strange coughing sound and the light from the magic circle flashed.

I felt like my body was floating in the air.

Soon, the damp and humid air touched my skin.

My vision darkened.

The languid feeling from lunch disappeared as if it had been washed away.

It was a labyrinth.

Jung Yu-shin quickly took out a flint and lit a torch.

The cave was no different from when I first came.

It was dark and damp.

“This is the central area. If we walk a little, we can go down to the second floor.”

Dito looked around and said. Without even opening the map, he just glanced at it and immediately figured out where he was.

‘It smells like stagnant water.’

Unlike Jung Yu-shin who was very tense, Del and his party looked relaxed.

“Pass the torch to me. I’ll take the lead. Sympathy.”

Dito said, extending his hand.

“Don’t keep calling me sympathy.”

“It’s not the first time, but I’m still nervous. Stay right behind me.”

Dito quickly walked, holding the light of the sun. Even though he couldn’t see clearly, his steps were steady.

Dito took the lead, and Jung Yu-shin was right behind him. Einhofer stood behind Jung Yu-shin, then the wizard, and finally, Del was at the very back.

Del’s group was several times faster than Kyle’s group. They moved forward without hesitation, digging through the darkness at a brisk pace that was almost like running.

“Hoo. Hoo.”

After walking briskly for about two hours, Jung Yu-shin’s heavy breathing came out.

“Six hobgoblins ahead. Prepare for battle. Stand in front of Scar.”

Dito stopped and stepped back.

“Yes.”

Slurp.

The newly received Arming Sword was released from its scabbard. The grip of the one-handed sword fit my hand perfectly. It was much more comfortable than a longsword. I held onto the shield strap tightly and stepped forward.

“Let’s see what newbie skills you have?”

Del laughed from behind.

“Here it comes.”

“Kee-ki-kke.”

“Ke-ke-ke.”

Shh-ee-ahk!!

Del fired an arrow. The arrow disappeared into the darkness as if sucked in, and there was a sound of something collapsing. There was no scream.

“I caught one with a bow.”

There were five left.

The hobgoblins ran toward me, shouting in anger.

Two with spears, two with swords, and finally one with a club.

The goblin swung his sword and rushed at Jeong Yu-shin.

Ka-ga-gak!

He blocked it with his shield and stabbed the goblin in the neck with his sword. When I pulled out my sword to make sure I had stabbed the carotid artery, blood gushed out like a fountain.

I kicked the goblin that was falling helplessly and grabbed the spear that was stabbing me.

While holding onto the spear, I smashed the goblin’s face with my pommel.

“Kkekeke!!”

The goblin, whose head was crushed like a kaal, staggered back.

The club headed straight for my head.

While I was pulling the spear, another goblin came and swung the club.

I quickly raised my shield, but it was useless.

Phew!

The goblin holding the club was cut in half by the single-edged axe.

“Hmm.”

Boom!

The bolt from Ditto’s crossbow pierced the eye of the goblin holding the spear. The hobgoblin fell like a doll, as if his brain had been pierced straight through.

The last remaining goblin turned and tried to run away. But Del's arrow hit his head.

Crack.

The battle ended with the sound of the last one falling.

A quick battle that ended in less than 30 seconds.

To be honest, it was harder to walk. I made the mistake of not noticing the club properly at the end, but I thought it was not a big deal.

"Thank you. Einhofer, I survived thanks to you."

Still, I thanked him.

"Okay."

Einhofer nodded slightly.

"Cut off the goblin's ear quickly. What are you doing so warm?"

Del said nervously.

"Yes."

The party set up a torch, crouched down, and cut off the goblin's ear.

Only the quiet sound of swordsmanship echoed in the dark cave.

When I first entered the labyrinth, I was so out of it that I didn't realize it.

As they were all huddled together and cutting off goblin ears like weeds,

I realized something.

My life is.

It’s not a munchkin story where you have a cheat and go around robbing countless women in another world.

‘The genre is different.’

“Scar, hurry up. You have a long way to go.”

“Yes.”

Del, who was crouching next to me, gave me a slap.

A goblin cutting off a hobgoblin’s ear.

I couldn’t believe it and laughed.

“Kelton, why is this guy laughing?”

“Leave him alone. He must be imagining something pleasant. What a piece of crap.”

Del and Kelton were having a suspicious conversation, but I let it go in one ear and out the other.

Compared to before, this wasn’t bad.

The sound of the sword was joined by the conversation, echoing through the dark cave.
