Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 - 12: Advancement

"Did Chazz-sama lose?"

In the stands, Lackey A and Lackey B were both in disbelief.

As fellow students in the Duel Academy's middle school division, they knew Chazz's strength well. No exaggeration, even among the elite, Chazz was the best in their year.

And yet, Chazz had just lost to a complete rookie?

Is this new guy a monster?

The red-haired girl nearby was also stunned, and then turned to the pair. "Looks like your big boss just lost."

The two underlings looked at each other, then said:

"Oh, we must've made a mistake. He just looks a little like our big bro, but look closely—he's not," said Lackey A.

"Yeah, yeah, really looks alike, haha," Lackey B added.

The red-haired girl squinted. "So, does he just happen to have the same name too?"

"Yes, yes."

The two forced out a smile, gritting their teeth.

"What a coincidence."

"..."

It was a stunning upset—no one was more shocked than Chazz himself.

Losing was one thing, but he also had a strange feeling—as if his opponent hadn't even tried.

The whole time, his opponent seemed so at ease, as if he'd just come to play, not taking it seriously at all.

He didn't even summon a single high-level monster!

Chazz felt he had maxed out his field and applied enough pressure, but his opponent defused everything so easily—it felt like punching into cotton.

He'd never experienced such a frustrating duel.

"Wait."

Just as his opponent was putting away his Duel Disk and preparing to leave, Chazz couldn't help but call out.

Kira paused and turned.

"Who the hell are you?" Chazz demanded, gritting his teeth.

Kira met his eyes and smiled slightly.

"Just a passing one-star duelist."

With that, he turned and walked away, but Chazz felt like he'd been stabbed in the heart again.

One star?

What kind of dumb ranking system is this—how is that guy a level one!?

In any case, Chazz's journey ended in the top 8, and he'd probably get chewed out by his brothers when he got home. If he'd lost to Rex Raptor, fine, but to an unknown nobody—worse yet, the duel was enough to cause a brain hemorrhage.
