Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 309

Chapter 309: Chapter 308: Raising the Stakes

"Duel City?"

Zane looked at the flyer with genuine interest.

"You want me to participate, Master?"

"Yes. This year’s event is different—Kaiba Seto himself is rumored to be joining."

"That Kaiba Seto?" Zane was surprised. "But I thought he had..."

"Retired? That’s what people said, but it looks like it was just a rumor."

Sheppard leaned back and smiled.

"In fact, I’ve met President Kaiba myself. I can tell, there are very few people in the world as passionate about dueling as he is.

Even back then, I doubted he’d ever retire for good."

"I see..." Zane mused.

In truth, Kaiba Seto was one of the duelists Zane admired most. Much of his own tactics and style were inspired by Kaiba.

After all, both he and Kaiba had full playsets of ace monsters, both ran triple fusions, both favored aggressive, oppressive playstyles. Even their suspiciously consistent opening hands—three Cyber Dragons plus Polymerization—seemed cut from the same cloth.

If anyone ever accused Zane of stacking his deck, Kaiba would probably be the first to defend him.

You just don’t have the bond. Why blame us for not shuffling?

"So, interested, Zane?" Samejima smiled. "This year’s entry requirements are higher, but as the academy’s ace, you’d have no problem."

Zane nodded.

"Understood, Master. I’ll seize this chance to improve and try to reach new heights over the break."

"Good," Sheppard replied. "Oh, by the way, I heard that Fujiki Kira will participate too."

"The first-year in yellow... the Champion?"

Zane caught himself mid-sentence.

Someone’s infamy at Duel Academy had earned them a nickname so well known, Zane almost slipped up and said it aloud.

"Haha, yes. That kid seems to know President Kaiba personally, so it’s no surprise he’d get an invite. You might even face him at the tournament."

Zane pondered.

Dueling Kira...

As this year’s most interesting freshman, Kira had long since caught his attention. Zane knew they’d clash sooner or later.

He just hadn’t found the right opportunity during the first semester.

But, if it was the world-class stage of Duel City...

Zane’s lips curled into a smile. The duel spirit within him was already burning.

Very interesting. He was looking forward to that showdown.

Maybe, at this Duel City, they’d decide once and for all who was the real king of Duel Academy.
