Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 - 142: He’s Doing This on Purpose

Just as expected.

When Kira heard Tenma wanted to see him, he half-guessed it would be about dueling.

He was just an unknown first-year at Duel Academy—maybe a little famous on campus, but not the sort of person to attract Tenma's attention.

So, the only reason Tenma might want to see him was because he'd beaten up Tenma's card professor earlier, and rather ruthlessly at that.

Or maybe he'd heard about how Kira had trounced the AI Blue-Eyes and gained the reputation of "the man noticed by Seto Kaiba himself."

Whatever the reason, there was only one: a duel.

Honestly, Kira had kind of guessed this before coming, so he was ready for it. According to Duel Academy's card-drawing curriculum, dueling strong opponents is the best way to grow. The stronger the opponent, the more you improve.

But of course, he wasn't going to duel for nothing.

While Kira was thinking, Mokuba spoke up first: "That's fine, but if it's just a duel, isn't that a bit boring?"

Tenma replied calmly, "And what do you suggest?"

"I remember last year's Illusions tournament gave out replicas of Pegasus's 'Thousand-Eyes Restrict' as prizes, right? If I'm not mistaken, there should still be some left?"

Kira raised his eyebrows.

Wow, Mokuba already knows what I'm thinking before I even say it.

Now that's teamwork.

"I see," Tenma smiled. "Yes, there are two left. If you're interested, feel free to take one."

Mokuba grinned, exchanging a look with Kira.

"Well? Want to give it a try?" _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

Truth be told, he wanted to see Kira duel too.

There was something special about the way this guy dueled.

"Then I'll gladly accept," Kira smiled, standing up. "Please, Mr. Tenma, let's duel."

The two left the dining room and followed Tenma to the dueling arena.

...

"Duel!" x2

[Kira, LP 4000]

[Tenma, LP 4000]

"I'll go first. Draw!"

Tenma slapped down a monster card.

"I summon 'Don Turtle' in defense position!"

[Don Turtle, DEF 1200]

"When Don Turtle is summoned, I can special summon any number of Don Turtles from my hand."

He drew two more cards.

"I special summon two more Don Turtles!"

[Don Turtle, DEF 1200] x2

"Next, I activate the Continuous Spell 'Precious Cards from Beyond.' As long as this card is on the field, when I tribute two or more monsters for a tribute summon, I draw two cards."

He swept his hand, and a card projection appeared on the field.

"I set a card face-down and end my turn."

"My turn."

Kira drew.

Tenma, though he'd been controlled by the Wicked God back in the day, should still count as a legendary duelist.

There are levels to legends, though, and Tenma should be stronger than, say, Rex Raptor or the Paradox Brothers.

So, Kira went with his updated main deck.

"I normal summon 'Defender of Nephthys.'"
