Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 192

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Culture Festival

Somewhere, unknown location.

Cold iron walls seemed to freeze endless darkness, swallowing every trace of light that tried to seep in. The room’s walls and ceiling were especially dim under the cold lighting, with sharp corners occasionally gleaming in the dark.

Three pairs of icy eyes lit up in the darkness.

"It’s about time," said one of the shadows.

The shadow beside him spoke in a deep voice, "Orders from Father, Alpha?"

The one called Alpha nodded. "In two days, the target is Duel Academy."

"So we’re finally moving," said a third, even larger shadow, grunting. "But the target is just Duel Academy? Here I am coming out of retirement, only to face some students. How boring."

The second shadow asked, "So, Gamma, what kind of opponent would satisfy you?"

"Only the legendary King of Games, that annoying Yugi Muto."

The other two immediately looked at him like he was an idiot.

But the tall figure called Gamma puffed up his chest: "My very existence is to challenge the pinnacle of duelists! If it’s not against the strongest, it’s meaningless! Yugi, who knows where he’s hiding now, but one day, I’ll drag him out to face me."

The other two simply ignored the big guy lost in his world.

"Beta, this is the first time Father has handed a mission directly to us." Alpha’s tone was low and grave. "This operation is crucial. We have two objectives, you know that, right?"

"Of course." The shadow called Beta nodded. "I’ve received the data."

But after a pause, he added with confusion,

"I understand the primary objective. But the secondary target, this ’Fujiki Kira’... he’s just a first-year at Duel Academy?"

"Don’t underestimate him just because he’s a student. If Father has set his sights on him, he must have something special. We don’t need to understand Father’s motives, just follow orders."

Alpha paused, then solemnly warned,

"Also, if you face the secondary target, be careful. Data shows his dueling style is highly unusual—he’s skilled at unsettling minds, interfering with the opponent’s thinking, making it hard for them to perform or even act rationally during a duel."

The big guy Gamma suddenly interjected, "Heh, just petty tricks. Messing with the mind and brain? Such tricks won’t work on me!"

The other two’s eyes lit up, both looking at him: "Oh? Do you have a special plan against him?"

Gamma held his head high: "If I don’t have a brain to mess with, how can he interfere or respond?"

Both: "..."

A moment of awkward silence.

As if at a loss for words, they seemed to silently agree, "That... makes a disturbing amount of sense."

Gamma continued self-righteously, "Dueling only requires 99% strength and 1% thinking. As long as you have power, who cares about dirty tricks—you can just crush them."

The other two again chose to ignore him.

Beta said, "I still don’t get why Father insists on sending this defective product out with us."

Alpha: "Ahem, we don’t need to understand Father’s motives. He must have his reasons."

At this point, Gamma stood off to the side, arms crossed, laughing loudly. "Hahaha..."

"...I suppose so."
