I really just want to hang out in the magic world.

The best option is to make the professor forget his existence.

The forgotten beast-god statue is the being that understands this wisdom.

"But anyway, boredom is always unbearable. Thank you for coming to accompany me."

"Your Excellency the Great Statue, I heard that you have mastered... no, some useful wisdom in this school."

Ruan Xiaozhe wanted to say "escape", but he changed his words in the end. He was not sure whether this forgotten beast statue would betray him.

"Wisdom?... I am ashamed to hear you say that. Although I cannot be called wise, I do know some things and can help you."

"Sure enough!"

Ruan Xiaozhe was thankful for the beast statue's boredom. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have received such help.

"Of course, there are things I can't do, so don't ask me to save a dragon or something like that."

"Can you make the principal a little kinder?"

"…What color dragon do you want? Or dragon is easier."

"Sorry, I was just kidding."

Of course, Ruan Xiaozhe did not actually make such an absurd request.

He just wanted to know one thing.

That is the path leading to the steeple stables on the upper level of the main building.

"Do you know where the stables in the donjon spire are?"

"I know of about three ways."

Hearing this, Ruan Xiaozhe's eyes flashed with excitement. He finally found what he wanted.

"Please tell me the easiest way to get there."

"It's not difficult."

"!"

"But before that, you have to defeat me first!"

"?!?"

The sudden change in atmosphere made Ruan Xiaozhe feel flustered.

He held his wand tightly and stared at the statue warily. However, the statue did not attack, but placed a bronze chessboard in front of him.

"Let's play the next round!"

"Forehead......"

Obviously, the other party is really bored.

……

Boredom is the deadliest poison. Even the statues that have long been loyal to their professors are not immune to boredom.

The forgotten beast idol loves to play chess.

The good thing about chess is that even one person can play it.

After saying this, the statue's tail and other head began to shake.

In order to gauge the opponent's strength, Ruan Xiaozhe asked, "Have other freshmen played chess with you before me?"

"Yes."

“How many times have they won?”

"Not once."

After hearing this, Ruan Xiaozhe's expression turned serious.

"Tutantha never won once?"

Although he didn't know how good Tutankhamun was at chess, if he was defeated again and again, it meant that the opponent was very skilled in chess.

This not only means that the statue is a great chess player...

"It also means that it can cleverly hide its strength."

If the gap is too big, Tutankhamun will not challenge again. This kind of subtle control requires extremely high chess skills.

"Can I win?"

Ruan Xiaozhe doesn't think he is an outstanding chess player.

Of course, he has played chess before.

In his previous life, just like the students trapped in the laboratory, Ruan Xiaozhe was also addicted to meaningless gambling, and the most popular game was chess.

Although Ruan Xiaozhe had never lost to his students, he was just a frog in a well. He had never won against the foreign professors in the laboratory next door.

The foreign professor seemed to enjoy defeating the weak very much. Whenever he had free time, he would call Ruan Xiaozhe and beat him up severely.

If the statue in front of me is more powerful than that professor...

"But just winning once will do." Ruan Xiaozhe thought.

No matter what method you use, winning once is enough!

Ruan Xiaozhe decided to win by number of times.

The chess game is unpredictable, maybe you can win one game out of a hundred.

"However, I have to tell you in advance that there will be a punishment for losing." The statue suddenly said at this moment.

"...What is it?"

Ruan Xiaozhe couldn't help but shudder, as if the shadow of the statue was suddenly pressing down on him.

"If you lose, you have to play another game for free."

"……That's it?"

The statue nodded.

It seems that the punishment is much lighter than expected.

"If I lose again in the next challenge, I'll have to play two games. If I lose again the next time, I'll have to play three games..."

"If you're so bored, you might as well go find a professor to work for you."

Ruan Xiaozhe thought so and grabbed the white soldier.

……

The king fell and the inning ended.

Ruan Xiaozhe was shocked.

"What a beautiful rain!"

Although he was full of admiration for the statue, Ruan Xiaozhe still found it a little funny.

He actually won?

And it’s the first game!

"Tutantha..."

He began to doubt the strength of the statue and Tutankhamun. Tutankhamun had never won a single game against a statue of this level...

"Phew, it was really a false alarm."
