Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 186

Chapter 186: Chapter 186: Dueling to Test God Draws

Night at the school store.

"Draw!"

Jaden drew a card from the two remaining in Syrus’s hand.

Ace of Hearts.

Syrus was left holding a single Joker.

"Won again." Jaden leaned back in his chair, looking satisfied.

Syrus sighed. "As expected of you, big bro. No matter what kind of draw game, you’re unbeatable. You’re basically cheating at Old Maid."

Jaden turned toward Kira, who was busy typing away at his report on the computer. "Hey, Kira, don’t you want to play a round? It’s fun."

"I’ll pass." Kira smiled. "Still need to finish a bit more of this theory report."

The Slifer Red Dorm trio instantly deflated like punctured balls.

"Ugh, still have that report..." Jaden scratched his head.

Syrus: "Big bro, maybe we should go back and work on our reports..."

"No way!" Jaden shook his head. "We can’t just let that bread thief get away, can we?"

"But it’s just bread! I think the report is more important..."

Jaden was adamant: "We don’t have to turn it in until the day after tomorrow, right? There’s still all day tomorrow. We can start writing then."

Syrus sighed. "You always say that, big bro..."

Jaden then looked curiously at Alexis, who was also sitting at the back reading. "By the way, why are you here? You after the bread thief too?"

"Don’t be silly. I just happened to have free time," Alexis replied.

Kira glanced at her but didn’t say anything.

Ms. Dorothy brought out a tray of rice balls. "Thanks for your hard work, everyone. Come have dinner."

"Oh! Rice balls from Ms. Dorothy!" Jaden was excited.

Ms. Dorothy beamed. "There’s pickled plum, beans, and salmon. But on the outside, they all look the same."

"I get it—so we’re drawing rice balls now. Alright, watch me pull a salmon one!"

Jaden rubbed his hands together.

"My turn—draw rice ball!" freewebnσvel.cøm

Without hesitation, he picked one, took a bite, and then triumphantly showed his filling: "Summoned salmon successfully!"

Syrus was amazed. "Big bro’s god right hand is as strong as ever..."

Jaden, proud of his form, grinned at Kira. "How about it? Want me to pull a salmon one for you too?"

"Thanks, but I’m good." Kira smiled, walked up, and casually picked one.

Also salmon.

"Ha, not bad!" Jaden patted him on the back. "See, strong duelists have things in common."

Kira just smiled without comment.

...

Late at night.

The school shop was closed and dark, surrounded by silence except for the occasional insect chirp and the whisper of the wind. The metal shutter was tightly shut, like a sleeping fortress.

Until a faint sound broke the silence.

Under the moonlight, the heavy shutter began to tremble, creaking softly.

Then, bit by bit, someone began to force it up with brute strength.

A shadowy figure crouched outside, using raw muscle to lift the locked, heavy shutter, just enough for a person to slip through.

Everyone hiding in the darkness was shocked.

What kind of strength is this?

Lifting a locked metal shutter by arm strength alone—is this human?

Even Kira fell into thought.

So it’s true what the anime said about dueling building physical strength. Training at cards really can make you superhuman. No wonder President Kaiba can free-fall from helicopters and land like a superhero—must be all from dueling.

"That’s far enough!"

The lights snapped on as Jaden leaped out.

Sure enough, standing in the middle of the shop was a wild, muscular man, with messy long hair and a bare, tanned torso—like Tarzan himself.

Startled, the wild man turned and ran, darting out the way he came. Everyone hiding burst out and gave chase.
