Chapter 207: The stinky chess basket

Su Ze breathed a sigh of relief, and his shoulders dropped a little, "I'll have to rely on you to protect me these days, You Tai--"

A smile returned to his face and he spoke softly.

Yuta Otsutsuki never thought that there would be a day when he would have to protect his teacher.

——Protect Su Ze, who is known as the “strongest”.

...However, a few days later, Su Ze seemed to change his statement.

"——Haha, it's called protection, but I don't think anything will happen."

About two weeks later at noon, Su Ze, who was doing nothing, suddenly smiled and said.

He can now walk normally, although it may take some time for his Qi to recover.

"...Indeed." Otsutsukota was stunned for a moment, then he chuckled and replied, "Besides the three of us, I'm afraid the only ones who know you are here are Utahime-sensei, Principal Rakugenji, Gojo-sensei... and the doctor."

Glass was detained on the pretext of "checking on Kokichi's health."

The doctor who was responsible for Su Ze's daily examinations had worked for Kyoto Polytechnic for more than 30 years. Moreover, he was not allowed to contact the outside world during this period.

"Ms. Kurokawa thought I was on a mission, so the routine work should be decided and handled by them - I have nothing to do these days." Su Ze leaned against the head of the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he casually picked up a book from the bedside table, "It's a rare moment of leisure, so I'll just read some miscellaneous books--"

Then he suddenly remembered something and looked up at Yuta Otsutsukoshi: "By the way, Yuta, don't use your phone these days - to avoid being tracked by someone with ulterior motives. There is a device connected to the internal network here. If necessary, you can use it at will."

"Okay, thank you teacher--" Otsutsukoshi Yuta responded.

"Hmm..." Su Ze closed the book again, stroked his chin and fell into thought, "Of course, if you want to do something else, that's fine... This room is quite big, and I won't be disturbed easily. If it's really boring, we can also play a few games of chess-"

Su Ze smiled and raised his hand to point at the chess pieces piled on the shelf next to him.

"Haha..." Otsutsukoshi Yuta smiled awkwardly, scratched his cheek with his index finger and said, "No need for that now... When I have the chance, I will definitely ask the teacher for his guidance."

——What a joke, playing chess with the chess player in front of you who has schemed the former veterans to death?

Although he did win the runner-up in the city-wide shogi competition when he was in junior high school, which can be considered as some knowledge, his best skill is still making plasticine, which he even won a national award for...

...that's too far.

——In short, the group of old guys who had lived for more than a hundred years made a collective move, but were defeated by their own teacher, and neither side had the slightest advantage in the game...

Until now, Su Ze is still privately feared and respected by Kyoto magicians and called a "genius".

...Playing chess with such a terrifying existence?

Is this too much of an exaggeration?

It would be fine if my strength was crushed, but if the few things I could use were pressed to the ground and rubbed...

Although Otsutsuki-san is gentle and considerate, he still has to maintain some dignity.

"Don't say that, Yuta..." Su Ze waved his hand, "Playing chess and employing people are not exactly the same... Besides, I haven't played Japanese shogi much."

——Teacher, you don’t need to be so modest at a time like this…

Otsutsukoshi looked at Teacher Su, who was eager to try and even a little excited, and hesitated for a moment.

"Teacher, since you are so interested, I will try my best to play a round... I hope you won't laugh at me later--"

After all, Otsukoshi was a model student who respected his teachers. He couldn't persuade his teacher and had to agree reluctantly.

Glass, who had just come in from outside, looked at Su Ze coldly.

The latter was rubbing his hands excitedly, waiting calmly for Otsutsuki to bring the shogi.

Almost the strongest teacher-student team in the history of the magic world started a game.

--despair.

The black side's "Dragon King" has approached the red side's "King General", and has cooperated perfectly with the "Dragon Horse" which has also been successfully promoted. It has just captured the red side's absolute defensive main force "Silver General".

On the other side, the black side's "Knight" and a "Corner" also complement each other, completely controlling the situation in one corner of the chessboard.

Now it seems that the Red Team is at a great disadvantage in every aspect.

Yuta Otsutsukoshi looked a little embarrassed, and he reluctantly pinched his "horn" and moved forward, taking down another piece from the red side.

Then, with hands almost trembling, he moved the captured red chess piece aside.

Su Ze, who was sitting opposite, had a very serious expression on his face. He stared at the few remaining defeated soldiers on his side, with his hands folded in front of his chin, and seemed not to be disturbed by the outside world at all.

Calm and collected, he looked like a wall-facer.

"You don't know how to play but you pretend to be so serious--" Glass, who had just finished reading Su Ze's physical examination form, glanced at the chessboard, put down the report and complained.

Chairman Su's face became visibly darker...an embarrassed expression.

Otsukoshi, who was sitting opposite him, felt even more uneasy.

——No, teacher, you really don’t know how to play shogi? ?

Otsutsuki-san was sweating profusely.

This chess game now looks like I am being aggressive and holding back, winning all the way and suppressing my opponent completely. There is no sense of experience at all.

...But he clearly wanted to try his best not to lose too badly - otherwise, it would be ugly if he lost the game so badly since his skills were not as good as his teacher.

——But, but!

Only now did he dare to be sure that Su Ze was indeed... a shogi novice.

At the beginning of the game, the teacher gave him several chess pieces. The naive Otsutsuki thought that the opponent was confident and let him gain an advantage...

"Well, that..." Otsutsuki looked at Su Ze, who was basically forced into a dead end with no moves, and spoke hesitantly.

The ambitious Chairman Su did not feel angry or reproachful, but only a little embarrassed at being ruthlessly killed by his own student.

——You bastard, can't you give way to your master? Didn't Rika-chan tell you that men will care about their reputation when they get older? ?

Chairman Su Ze kept muttering to himself.

...Okay, so there is still a little bit of blame.

"Teacher, this game of chess...how about we consider it a draw?" Otsutsukoshi suggested hesitantly, with a wry smile.

——Although at this stage of the game, the Red Team’s victory is absolutely unstoppable.

However, before Chairman Su could go down the not-so-gentle slope, the sudden ringing of a bell interrupted the deadlock very appropriately.

But Su Ze did not feel fortunate for even a millisecond.

He looked serious, frowned, and quickly picked up the phone.

"…It's Nanami."

The tone is also quite serious.

Yuta Otsutsuki realized that something was wrong, and he subconsciously stood up and reached for his long sword.
