Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 136

Chapter 136 - 136: Scrub Monsters?

As expected of the Yu-Gi-Oh! world—everything can be settled with cards.

But just as Kira thought the story would move into another classic duel, Mokuba interrupted with a look of disdain: "No."

Man: "?"

Wait, why aren't you following the script?

Aren't all Kaibas supposed to be duel maniacs? Isn't it a rule that they never refuse a duel challenge?

"First, I already know who you are."

Mokuba kept his hands in his pockets, calm.

"Kirk Dixon, right? Not under Industrial Illusions, or rather, to be precise, one of Pegasus' adopted sons Pegasus Yako Tenma's Card Professors, correct?"

Tenma appeared in a DM side story as Pegasus' adopted son, and the holder of the "Three Wicked Gods," rivals to the "Three Egyptian Gods."

Tenma had a whole team of elite Card Professors, each a top duelist of their time. Back then, Yugi had to defeat the entire team to reach Tenma.

So, by the logic of the Paradox Brothers—that "having dueled the King of Games" makes you a "legendary duelist"—Tenma's team should all count as "legendary duelists" too.

Kirk was shocked. "How did you know!?"

"Come on, you think KaibaCorp's abilities are that limited?" Mokuba squinted. "What made you think a simple disguise could fool us?"

"Tch, so I was found out. Those techs are useless..."

As he spoke, data flowed across his body, his virtual disguise dropped, and the tough guy in black sunglasses transformed into a short, somewhat sleazy man with glasses.

"Yes, my name is Kirk Dixon, an elite Card Professor under Master Tenma."

Mokuba frowned. "KaibaCorp and Industrial Illusions settled their differences years ago, and have maintained stable cooperation ever since. Why invade our system?"

"Heh, want to know?"

Kirk adjusted his glasses and sneered.

"If you want to know, then—"

"No need, I'll just ask Pegasus at Industrial Illusions myself." Mokuba raised a hand. "I'll just kick you out now."

Kirk: "!"

NANI? Still refusing to duel?

Why aren't you following the script?

If it were President Kaiba, he'd never refuse a duel challenge. But Mokuba isn't Kaiba—in fact, his usual role is being taken hostage to force the president to duel. (Is he a princess or something, lol)

As everyone knows, in DM canon, the seven Millennium Items are eight: Yugi's grandpa and Kaiba's brother are the "eighth Millennium Item—the Millennium Hostage," whose effect is to rapidly advance the plot.

"How about," Kira interrupted, "I try dueling him?"

Mokuba glanced at him.

Honestly, if it's just a duel, there's nothing to lose—if they win, the opponent will tell the truth, saving a lot of trouble. But Mokuba wasn't too confident in his dueling skills.

"Can you?" Mokuba asked.

"Of course! It's rare to visit the Link System—I haven't tried dueling here yet." Kira was eager.

"...All right."

Mokuba nodded and smiled.

"Then I'll leave it to you—looks like I owe you another favor."

"No problem."

Kira stepped forward.

"I'll be your opponent."

Kirk finally relaxed.

Whew, finally, a duel!

"Fine." Kirk sneered, sizing him up. "You're one of KaibaCorp's duelists?"

"No," Kira replied seriously. "Just a regular first-year student at Duel Academy."

Kirk: "?"

What? A first-year?

He looked at Mokuba as if asking, Are you sure? Even though he knew Duel Academy only accepted elite students, they were still just students. Kirk Dixon, after all, was a famous expert who'd once lost to the King of Games himself. Wasn't this a bit disrespectful?
