Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 100

Chapter 100 - 100: Stealing the Spotlight

The duel was over in just a few minutes, but the entire camp was dead silent.

How to put it...?

The hero's style of dueling was...not what they'd expected.

Two spirits who'd returned from the Skull King's cave were among the crowd. When they saw the captain challenging the hero to a duel, one of them wanted to warn him.

But the other held him back, laughing, "No rush—let's see how this goes. It might be interesting."

The first spirit thought about it and agreed.

So, they said nothing and watched the captain get beaten up, munching on seeds as they did.

As expected, it was great fun.

The captain, floored by his sword, closed his eyes and replayed the duel in his mind.

Looking back, he realized he hadn't done anything the entire duel. Every card he drew was either discarded before he could play it, was destroyed the moment it hit the field, or was just stolen by the opponent.

Honestly, if not for his respect for the hero, he'd have been tempted to just ditch the duel disk and draw his sword to fight for real.

But after cooling down and thinking over the duel, he realized—if he could master such techniques, and bring those kinds of duels against the hated evil gods' minions...

The captain couldn't help but grin.

"Hehe... hehehehe..."

He burst out laughing.

The other spirits exchanged glances, looking worried.

Did the duel break the captain?

Just then, a warrior burst in from outside.

"Captain! Report!"

The warrior hurried over.

"The red-clad outsider you asked me to find—the one with the jellyfish hairstyle—I think I found him!"

...

Meanwhile, Jaden was...eating.

If it had been any other student, they'd have freaked out after falling into another world. But not the thick-skinned Jaden—after a brief panic, he quickly accepted it, wandered around, and even helped an old lady pushing a heavy cart, acting like a model citizen.

Then, after being invited in for dinner, he ate three big bowls before waddling off to explore some more.

"Wait, wait. Now's not the time to be eating!" Jaden sighed. "Kira is here too, I need to find him. Plus, I have to get back to the Academy before dawn, or I'll get expelled!"

The Winged Kuriboh floating by his side: "Kuri kuri~"

Kuriboh was thinking: Actually, getting expelled isn't our biggest problem right now...

"Huh?" Jaden suddenly grabbed Kuriboh, finally realizing, "Wait, why can I touch you now, Winged Kuriboh?"

He still hadn't realized he was in the spirit world.

"Kuri!"

Kuriboh suddenly cried out, flapping its wings and knocking Jaden aside.

Jaden fell over, and a poisoned dart whizzed past where he'd been standing, sticking into the ground.

"What?!"

Jaden turned and saw, on a slope nearby, an insect-like creature. It wore armor, wielded a sword and shield, and stood upright, but its head was insectoid.

An Insect Knight.
