Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 64

Chapter 64 - 64: Entrance Day

The next morning, Kira got up early.

He took his packed luggage, various duel disks, several completed decks, and over a hundred backup cards.

He boarded the special plane sent by Duel Academy for new students, flying to the legendary haven for rookies—Duel Academy.

Gotta say, when Kaiba invests, he goes big. The island was huge. In Season 2 of the anime, Jaden got lost for days on the island after returning with his Neo-Spacian deck. The island also had ancient ruins, secret labs, and all sorts of facilities.

So, though it's called a school, it's at least the size of a small town.

As the plane approached, Kira looked out the window to survey the island—the lush forests and the massive volcano in the background felt oddly familiar.

A sudden thought hit him: this aerial view... why does it look so much like Fire King Island?

Fire King Island is a core field spell for the Fire King deck, but it shouldn't exist in the GX anime.

Kira had never noticed before, but now, flying over Duel Academy, he realized the island looked almost exactly like the card art.

Just a coincidence... right?

At 9 a.m., the new students gathered in the auditorium for the opening ceremony and Chancellor Sheppard's speech.

"Welcome, elite duelists."

Chancellor Sheppard stood on the stage, speaking into the mic with a smile.

"All of you fought your way through narrow gates to be here—"

"Snore... snore..."

The snores from the front row drew the students' attention.

Kira didn't even have to look to know it was Jaden Yuki—he'd already fallen asleep by the second sentence.

Kira had to admire Jaden's talent. Everyone was standing in front of the stage during the speech, and Jaden was near the front. To be able to sleep standing up, right in front of the school leadership, while ignoring the noise, was a unique skill.

Thud.

It looked like Jaden slipped up this time, falling over with a loud crash.

Professor Crowler, unable to bear it, called out, "The Chancellor Sheppard is speaking! Are you calcium-deficient?"

"Sorry, sorry," Jaden said, sitting up and scratching his head, "I slipped up a bit."

Crowler's face turned beet red like a Pot of Greed turning into a Pot of Avarice.

What kind of apology was that? Instead of being sorry for sleeping, he was just sorry for getting caught.

But before Crowler could erupt, Chancellor Sheppard smiled, "Well, it's the first day, let's not get angry. The students are tired from traveling, it's understandable."

Crowler had to swallow his anger for now.

Jaden stood up, then started dozing again, but Crowler never took his eyes off him for the rest of the speech.

Kira now understood why the professor disliked Jaden so much.
