I Made a Mistake

It was sloppy.

It was an aggressive move that properly countered Helen’s moves, just like before.

A move that defended against her attacks while also laying the groundwork for an attack in the next turn, a move with various hidden intentions.

It was similar to the move Max had made when he first faced her.

A perfect move in both offense and defense.

But strangely, the overwhelming feeling from the beginning wasn’t there.

‘Something’s light.’

Until now, Max’s moves anticipated not only the next move but also the moves 10 steps or more into the future.

Helen, who knew ten things from one, could tell how deeply Max’s moves had come from profound enlightenment.

An absurd move that blocked all possibilities.

That’s why she felt a wall.

A perfect defense that didn’t seem possible to make in that short amount of time.

But the move Max made now.

‘It’s only a move to check the next move.’

If someone other than Max was in front of her, they would have been surprised and called it an excellent defense.

It was a sharp move that even a skilled chess player would admire, but it was a completely different attack from Max’s usual style.

‘What is he thinking?’

Did he lose focus?

No.

That couldn’t be.

There was no way this crazy magician would lose his focus in a game like this.

She was playing chess naked with obscene devices attached all over her body, but Max wasn’t.

There was no way a man who could design and operate such a complex illusion magic for so long without difficulty would lose his focus in a game like this.

‘Is he underestimating me?’

He must be taking me lightly now because I’ve lost every game so far.

Helen gritted her teeth.

She was humiliated by Max’s actions that touched her pride.

Uuung.

The constantly moving vibrators and rotors distracted her.

“Haa…”

As she felt the vibration again, Helen let out a faint moan.

A wave of faint pleasure rising through her central nervous system washed over her, making Helen’s head spin.

Helen’s body swayed as if hit by a crashing wave.

It felt like the rotor and vibrator were urging her not to think complicated thoughts anymore.

“Where did the chess player go?”

Max asked with a smile.

“…Teacher, you…”

“What is it?”

“Are you, are you going easy on me?”

“Of course not. We’ve only made the first move. I’m always serious.”

She couldn’t spend more time on this kind of small talk.

Okay.

‘Now that it’s come to this, let’s win as quickly as possible and end this humiliation.’

She just needed to win and get an apology from Max.

After all, that’s why she came here.

After seeing Max’s illusion, she couldn’t concentrate on her classes or even prepare for exams because of the constant arousal.

She came to be compensated for that.

To relieve her stress by scolding Max and feel a little better.

“Haa, haa.”

To feel better.

‘I have to win.’

All sorts of machines that tickle and stimulate her pleasure are interfering with her thoughts.

She felt dazed, as if her head was in a fog.

‘Quickly, the next move…’

As soon as she made the next move.

Thwack!

Max immediately made a move.

Another sloppy defense.

There were gaps everywhere.

Helen made her next move without hesitation.

Thwack!

“Hngh!”

Every time she made a move, her chest bounced and the rotor stimulated a new spot.

Her body trembled at the subtle stimulation.

As she endured the stimulation and made her next move, Helen’s momentum gradually began to revive.

After a few exchanges, Helen had several more pieces than Max.

The tide had already turned in Helen’s favor.

It was a game that would end with Helen’s victory in just two more moves.

All that remained of Max’s pieces was one pawn.

But Helen had five pawns, a knight and a bishop each, and two magicians.

And even a queen.

It was truly an overwhelming advantage.

Helen’s mind was so dazed that she didn’t even wonder why Max had suddenly become so weak.

That was.

“Hngh! Good, ah…”

It was because of the various devices that were constantly stimulating Helen’s body here and there.

As Helen twitched and looked at the chessboard, she felt a sense of regret.

Why?

Why was she feeling regret?

Victory was just around the corner.

There was no reason to feel regret.

She should be happy instead.

Because the moment when Max would kneel before her was just around the corner.

She felt regret when victory was so close.

‘I regret that it’s ending like this?’

Why?

What’s the reason?

‘Because I can’t feel any better if it ends like this.’

Helen desperately denied the conclusion that her brilliant mind had reached.

That couldn’t be, she thought.

There was no way she would enjoy such a humiliating situation.

Thwack.

And she made her next move.

Just one move left until victory.

Max would make his next move right away.

It was when she was about to watch what move he would make.

Max didn’t hold a chess piece in his hand and opened his mouth.

“It’s almost over now. I guess Miss Helen is a genius after all.”

“…What?”

“Didn’t you keep growing as you played?”

“I grew, you said?”

“Yes. Didn’t you get closer to victory as you kept challenging me in each game?”

“Don’t, don’t joke around… I know that’s not true.”

“It’s not?”

“It’s because you’re just playing the game carelessly.”

“Surely not. I was serious. It’s just that Miss Helen’s desire to win reached this game.”

Max smiled and wiggled a pawn in his hand.

Even though she knew it was a lie, she couldn’t deny Max’s words.

No, she didn’t want to deny it.

Because he was her teacher.

A teacher wouldn’t lie to a student.

“If I move this pawn, everything will be over. Congratulations. Miss Helen will beat me for the first time.”

I’m winning?

I’m beating Teacher Max?

Her head grew hot at those words.

“What kind of line should we decide on? Do you have anything in mind?”

“…”

Helen couldn’t answer.

Because nothing came to mind.

She came to get an apology, but now she couldn’t even remember why he should apologize to her.

“Hngh!”

Because it was more important to tremble at the pleasure coming from her body than to think about an apology.

“That’s right. If I lose this time, I was supposed to praise the greatness of the Silvesta family.”

Was that so?

Ah, that’s right.

That’s what it was.

She was going to feel good by receiving Max’s apology for daring to ignore her family.

Because she would be able to concentrate more on the exam if she felt relieved.

“But if I win, Miss Helen will be the tester for the improved illusion magic circle. It’s a shame. The new magic circle was such a wonderful thing that it could even enchant elves.”

“…”

“We can experiment after the exam is over. Of course, it might be difficult to use the test version at that time. I’ll replace you with another guest.”

Max’s voice echoed in her head.

I can’t do it?

If I win here, I won’t be able to see Max’s illusion video?

“Congratulations. Please make your move.”

Thwack.

Max moved his pawn.

Now, if she sets up a checkmate with the bishop, everything will be over.

There was only one move left.

She could end everything.

She could receive an apology and end everything.

All it took was one move.

It was something that would end with a single movement of her finger.

Curiosity kept grabbing her ankle.

The word “improved illusion magic that even enchanted elves” kept swirling in her head.

What kind of video was it that enchanted an elf?

What’s in it?

If I can’t see the test version, will there be no next time?

Helen picked up the bishop.

If she placed it in a position where it could capture the unmovable king, everything would be over.

If she placed it in the right spot and said “checkmate,” she could receive Max’s apology.

An apology for doing something that harmed the prestige of Silvesta.

But.

‘What can I use an apology for?’

Even if she praised the greatness of her family, it wouldn’t mean that Helen was great.

It wasn’t as if Max had really lost to her with his real skills.

She was just being played by Max’s act of letting her win.

All she would get was a feeling of satisfaction from a victory that was just a cover-up.

It was a hesitation that Helen, who thought her family was everything she had, would never have thought of.

‘But if I lose.’

I can see the video.

Max will show her the video.

Even though she knew it, it was difficult to declare defeat.

Because that was the last bit of pride she had left.

As Helen struggled to make a decision, Max’s voice reached her ears.

“It’s a shame. Actually, I wanted to show Miss Helen the video even if I had to force her.”

Those words stabbed her heart.

Those words that he wanted to show her even if he had to force her.

Wouldn’t it be okay just once?

It’s not like I asked him to do it.

Max forced me to do it.

He asked me to do it if I lost.

It’s not like I asked him to do it.

It’s not like I’m destroying the pride of a noble.

It couldn’t be helped.

It couldn’t be helped.

Helen moved the bishop in her hand.

Not to a spot where it could cut off the king’s head.

“…”

It was within range of Max’s pawn to kill immediately.

It was as if she was offering the bishop’s head herself.

Max, seeing the bishop placed as if to be eaten, asked.

“Miss Helen, are you…”

“I.made.a.mis.take.”

An awkward acting tone.

It was a move that anyone could see was intentional.

“…”

“I, I can’t take it back.”

“Understood.”

Max’s pawn ate the bishop.

“Oops.”

And then he ate the knight.

“Another mistake…”

Max’s pawn, which ate the magician and the queen, reached the end and became a new queen.

“Hngh! I couldn’t concentrate because of the pleasure…”

And at the moment when the king offered his neck in front of that queen.

“I lost.”

Helen said as she put the last remaining collar among the tools placed next to the chessboard around her own neck.

“Punish your foolish disciple who failed to beat the teacher.”

The eyes of the defeated young lady were dazed.
