When a professor forgets his existence, he should hold his breath quietly.
The statue of the forgotten beast was a being who had mastered its wisdom.
But being sad is unavoidable. Thank you for coming here.
“I heard that the great bronze statue… in this school knows the necessary wisdom.”
Lee Han was trying to tell the story of escape, but changed his words.
It was because he did not know when the statue of the Forgotten Beast would betray him.
Wisdom… It’s embarrassing to say that. Even if it’s not wisdom, I can tell you what I know. Anything I can help can help.
“indeed!”
Lee Han was grateful that the statue of the forgotten beast was bored.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have been of any help.
Of course, I can’t help you with things beyond my ability. So please don’t ask me to save the dragon.
“Could you please make the headmaster a little better?”
…what color dragon do you want? I’d rather be a dragon.
“sorry. It was a joke.”
Of course, Lee Han had no intention of making such an outrageous request.
There was only one thing Lee Han wanted.
Path to the Spire Stable, located on the upper level of the main building.
“Do you know the location of the stables in the main spire?”
I know about three.
Ihan’s eyes fluttered slightly. I finally found what I was looking for.
“I want to know the way to the most accessible place among them.”
It’s not difficult.
“!”
But before that, you must defeat me!
“?!?”
When the atmosphere suddenly changed, Lee Han was perplexed.
Lee Han grabbed his wand and looked at his statue with vigilant eyes. However, instead of attacking the statue, he laid a bronze chessboard in front of it.
Let’s have two plates!
“……”
It was clear that the opponent was really bored.
* * * *
Boredom was the poison of poison. Even the statue, who faithfully endured under the professor for a long time, could not overcome his boredom.
The statue of the Forgotten Beast liked chess.
The advantage of chess is that you can play it alone.The statue’s tail and other heads shook with the horse.
Lee Han asked to gauge the opponent’s skill.
“Have you ever played chess with other freshmen who came before me?”
It did.
“How many times did that freshman win?”
he never won
Ian’s expression became serious.
‘Did Tutanta not win even a single game?’
I didn’t know what Tutanta’s skill was, but he kept pushing and never winning, meaning a lot.
The chess skills of this forgotten statue are excellent…
‘And it’s clever enough to hide it.’
If there was an overwhelming difference, they wouldn’t have scrambled again. It was necessary to win in a narrow way so that the opponent read the hope and rushed again.
To do that, a huge skill gap was required.
‘Can I win?’
Lee Han didn’t think he was good at playing his chess.
Of course he didn’t play chess.
As is the case with students locked up in the lab, Lee Han used to enjoy meaningless betting activities.
And the most popular was chess.
Although Lee Han never lost among other students…
…It’s just a frog in a well, and he’s never defeated a foreign professor in the lab next door.
The foreign professor used to call Lee Han and defeat him when he was bored because it was so much fun to win against the weak.
If the statue in front of him was better than the professor, he wouldn’t have excelled.
‘But only once, you only have to win once.’

No matter how you shake your opponent or careless, you only had to win once.
Lee Han made a plan to win by number.
Chess is a game with unexpected variables, so I didn’t know if I could win once if I played about a hundred rounds.
Oh yeah. Let me tell you in advance. If you lose, there is a penalty.
“…what?”
Ian flinched.
The shadowed figure of the statue suddenly seemed to exude a sense of pressure.
One more plate must be played at no cost.
“…is that the answer?”
The penalty was weaker than expected. The statue nodded his head.
And if you lose again when you try again, then you have to play two games. If you lose in the next challenge, three rounds…
‘If you’re bored like that, I think you’d be better off just getting a job from a professor.’
With that in mind, Lee Han grabbed the white phone.
* * * *
The game ended with the king lying on his side. Ian was shocked.
‘Tutanta…!’
You put it really well.
The statue admired the statue, but Lee Han was a little absurd.
Surprisingly, Lee Han won.
Even in the first edition!
At this point, I had to doubt the ability of the statue and Tutanta. You can’t win a game against a statue like this.
‘I was nervous for nothing.’
ruler. here. This is a map I made.
“thank you.”
Lee Han received the map that the statue had offered and put it in his arms. Then he asked.
“Would you like one more plate?”
There was no need to hesitate as long as I realized that my opponent was more likable than I thought. Lee Han spoke to tear it apart a little more.
However, the statue did not come down easily.
no. I was really satisfied today. It was such a fun board.
“……”
Thanks to you, I think I can get a good night’s sleep. Thank you.
Lee Han couldn’t figure out which part of this edition made his opponent so satisfied.
Maybe he’s not doing it because he thinks he can’t win, is he?
“Yeah… that’s good.”
Lee Han congratulated him and went outside.
Salco was waiting in the hallway, trimming a small statue with a chisel and chisel.
“I’m here.”Salko brushed off the crumbs and said without looking at Lee Han.
He didn’t like the nobility, but he wanted to respect Lee Han’s pride.
He would have been quite humiliated as he would have never won.
“I will guide you until you win. You can’t go in alone. Let me know the next time you want to go.”
“Win.”
“…??!?!!”
Salco doubted his ears.
He couldn’t believe what he heard now.
The chess skills of that beast statue were truly amazing.
Even Salko, who had no rival within the Tutanta family, could not win even once.
He was planning to try again by preparing with Wodanaz in the future…
just won?
“Jeong, really?”
“okay. They told me to take a breath thanks to you.”
Salco was not without reason to doubt the words of the man he had once agreed to respect.
However, it was hard to believe Lee Han’s words until he saw it with his own eyes.
“Wordanaz. If it’s okay, would you mind if I check it out?”
“okay. do whatever you want.”
After asking Lee Han’s permission, Salco repaired the statue in the hallway again, opened the door and went inside.
And he walked out with an expression as if possessed by a ghost.
The statue was really sleeping.
Lee Han said to Salco.
“Thank you. Thanks to you, I got the information I needed.”
“I’m glad you did…”
For a moment, Salco looked at Lee Han with respectful eyes, unconsciously, before he came to his senses and turned back his expression.
You will have this kind of respect for someone from an aristocratic family in your lifetime!
Salco coughed once and turned around.
“Let’s go back. I will show you the way.”
Salko turned his back and didn’t notice that Lee Han’s eyes had changed slightly.
Lee Han’s eyes looking at Salko changed from his first look to look at Nelia.
* * * *
Lee Han opened the door to the break room with a very tired expression.
The Salchow, which looked like it was made from agglomeration of rock, spoke more than I expected.
-I want to tell you about the ‘Dwarf Gambit’, the organ of the Tutanta family, which raises the pawn with e4 and hits with f4 when the opponent counters with e5.
-When the opponent grabs the phone, sending the knight to f3 is my specialty, but about this…
-It happened in the last game I played…
– You know what? The elves told me to send pawns to d4, not e4, and retaliate with c4 to d5! They’re crazy bastards!
All the way back, he was talking about chess.
Lee Han was not someone who devoted his life and passion to chess like Salco.
For fear of stinging his nose, he answered as best as he could, but he couldn’t help but be mentally tired.
“Wordanaz! You’re back!”
Friends who were doing homework in the break room were happy to see Lee Han.
Yoner, like the other students, was putting his head together and checking the potions.
It was the potion in the box that Lee Han and Ratford stole from the carriage the other day.
Thanks to the discovery of reagents in Professor Thunder’s laboratory, various experiments became possible.
“Did you find out anything?”
“Wordanaz. We did it.”
“??”
One of the students who was sitting next to Yonner opened his mouth with excitement.
“You found a miracle potion!”
“Did you even find a potion of space movement?”
Ian asked curiously.
Then the students responded with a shy expression.
“No… it’s not a space movement.”
“It’s still a great potion! I’ll show! Kainan too!”
Students are Kainandohas brought Lee Han realized that Gainando’s appearance was a little different from usual.
little…
It felt intellectual.
‘what? Is it fake Kainando?’
Gainando shook his head at Lee Han with a very calm and calm expression. It was a look that made him want to hit him.
“Gainan too. Who is teaching ＜Understanding Basic Magic>?”
“Professor Garcia Kim.”
“How do I make a potion of lesser magic recovery?”
“Cut off the base of the galamadu, and cut the remaining part into two knives of the size of your little finger. At the same time, the seolhyangcho must be torn thinly by hand, but at this time, the galaldu must be ripped quickly before it dries.”
The blue dragon tower students burst into cheers at the quick reply.
“Did you see it? It’s a potion of wisdom! A potion of wisdom!”
Among the potions of alchemy, there were also potions that temporarily increased the intelligence of the drinker.
Looking at the current state of Gainando, it was clear.
This reddish-colored liquid is definitely a potion of wisdom!
‘for a moment. Have these bastards tested with the Gainando?’
Lee Han had such a question, but he decided to pass it on. Because there were a lot more important things than that.
“Do you really think this is a potion of wisdom?”
Lee Han asked Yoner in a low voice. Yonner answered with a cautious expression.
“I am not sure yet. But, looking at Gainando’s reaction to drinking, there’s a possibility that this is the case.”
“Didn’t you check everything and drink?”
“No, I just came and drank it during the verification…”
“……”
Lee Han was trying to say something, but he held back.
‘It would be nice if it was a potion of wisdom.’
Just as the students cheered, Lee Han-do had too many places to use the potion of wisdom.
First, drink a little during Professor Garcia’s class, drink a little during Professor Voladi’s class, drink a little during Thunderwalk’s class, drink some with Professor Mortum, and drink a little with Professor Millais…
Lee Han, who had been counting with his fingers crossed, reflected.
The potion was not harmless to the body. He always needed a price. If you drink like that, your body will not be left behind.
But in this school, there are many things that require wisdom, but there are too many.
‘Shall we check a little more?’
Lee Han looked at Guy Nando. And he asked.
“How many 14X19?”
“It’s 417.”
At the answer that came out immediately, the Blue Dragon Tower students, who were listening to them, burst into cheers.
However, Lee Han and Yoner, Asan and the princess, had strange expressions on their faces.
…what?
Oh no…
