Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 199

Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Invitation

Duel Academy Island.

Gamma was wandering through the forest, stopping now and then, craning his neck to look around, as if searching for something.

Because he was lost.

As an invader, this was rather unprofessional, but he had to admit it—he really was lost.

But he didn’t blame himself. It was this damned academy’s fault for being built on such a huge, wild island.

Lost in the deep woods, it felt like walking through a complex painting. The trees intertwined, branches thick, leaves blocking the moonlight and making navigation impossible.

"Sealing array, sealing array..."

Gamma muttered as he walked, breaking through the woods. The ground was soft and wet, each step muffled by fallen leaves.

Everything looked the same—the straight trunks, dense canopy. It all felt like copy-paste, no way to tell one area from another.

"Advance 600 meters at four o’clock, then through the bushes..."

Gamma muttered the directions, crawled through a thicket—and suddenly emerged into an open clearing.

Nothing there.

"Damn, where’s the Sacred Beast sealing array supposed to be?"

Gamma grumbled, trying to figure out where he’d gone wrong.

Suddenly, a female voice called from behind: "Who are you?"

It was Alexis, heading back to the Blue Dorm along this path.

"Duel Academy student?"

Gamma glanced at her, thought for a moment, and snorted.

"Perfect. I was just looking for someone to guide me. Since you’re here, point the way for me."

Alexis took two cautious steps back: "You’re the intruder?"

Gamma didn’t hesitate. He raised his arm—mechanical parts assembled into a duel disk. A pale blue field burst from the disk, rapidly forming a barrier that enclosed the two of them.

"The duel field is active. Now you can’t escape." Gamma clenched his fist. "Let’s settle this the academy way—a duel! If I win, you must guide me to the designated place!"

She didn’t know how things had escalated so fast, but when it came to dueling, Alexis was wide awake. She quickly deployed her duel disk, ready and alert.

"If it’s a duel, I’ll take you on anytime."

"Duel!" x2

...

When the alarm sounded, Kira and Misawa immediately headed for their dorms. Alexis was in the Blue Dorm and parted ways with them en route.

Approaching the Yellow Dorm, Kira suddenly stopped.

"Misawa, you go on ahead," he said.

Misawa looked back, puzzled: "With intruders and the whole school on lockdown, where are you going?"

Then he realized: "You’re not trying to find those...?"

"Don’t worry, I’ll be fine." Kira waved. "See you tomorrow."

Misawa thought, Of course, I know you’ll be fine. But I’m not so sure about everyone else...

"Fine, just be careful."

After parting, Kira didn’t head for his dorm, but turned and walked into the woods.
