Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 193

Chapter 193: Chapter 193: Joyful Festival Duels

A loud bell suddenly cut through the festival’s buzz, slicing the air. The crowd fell silent, all eyes turning to the stage.

The performers had already left, and now, from the Duel Club, the Busty Senpai took the stage.

To Kira’s embarrassment, he still didn’t know her actual name...

"Surprise Duel!" she announced with a smile, holding the mic.

"We’re starting the festival’s duel segment! Everyone, choose a random opponent nearby within 30 seconds and duel! Each win earns a point. In the end, the highest scorer will win a special prize from the Duel Club!"

"..."

The place fell silent.

Kira instantly felt like all eyes, intentionally or not, had landed on him.

In about a second, the atmosphere changed. It was like the paused world suddenly went into fast-forward; students frantically grabbed their duel disks and rushed to the nearest opponent.

For them, the opponent didn’t matter anymore.

As long as they didn’t get caught by the Demon King, it was a win!

From Yellow Dorm, Yamamoto Yuuichi dashed like a mortar shell toward a nearby Obelisk Blue girl. The girl, startled by his aggressive approach, probably thought she was about to get slammed.

Yes, this was Kira Victim Club’s number one member, Yamamoto Yuuichi. To his horror, he realized he’d randomly ended up near the Demon King right as the surprise duel started.

Memories of the dorm exchange duel, and the terror of being dominated by the Yellow Demon King, flashed through his mind...

He locked onto the Blue Dorm girl. No matter what, he was determined not to repeat last time!

But just as he was about to succeed, another Yellow Dorm boy suddenly appeared, duel disk already out, blocking the girl: "Sorry, may I duel you?"

She nodded.

Yuuichi, mid-charge, tripped and face-planted.

He looked up angrily—only to see that the one who stole his target was one of his best friends. The friend glanced at him, pushed up his glasses, and said, "Sorry, Yuuichi."

But better you than me, buddy. Today, I had to be first. Take one for the team.

Yuuichi: "You son of a—"

Before he could finish, a shadow fell over him.

Then came the soft, polite voice of the devil: "Oh? Isn’t this my friend, Yuuichi? Why are you on the ground? Can’t find an opponent? What a coincidence, I haven’t found one either. Looks like I’ll have to ask for your guidance again."

Yuuichi sighed deeply, getting up and lifelessly raising his duel disk.

His face said: Fine, fine, just get it over with.

"..."

"I activate the Spell Card ’Card Destruction,’ then chain the Continuous Trap ’Call of the Haunted’ to Special Summon ’Protector of the Sanctuary’ from the graveyard."

"Sorry, Yuuichi. You have to discard your entire hand, and thanks to ’Protector of the Sanctuary,’ you can’t draw. I’ll draw four cards for myself from ’Card Destruction.’"

Yuuichi: "..."

"Oh? Are you ending your turn without doing anything? So polite. Well, my turn again, ’Don Zaloog’ attacks directly! Looks like you’ve lost."

"..."

Another happy duel was over, Kira bade farewell to the shell-shocked Yuuichi and went to find his next target.

Club rules: you can’t duel the same person twice. So, he just had to find another pair in a duel, wait nearby, and as soon as their duel ended, there’d be a free student.
