Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169 - 169: Legalizing the God Draw

Unsurprisingly, Kira's team received sponsorship from Industrial Illusions.

But that was only natural.

Even ignoring his relationship with Yako, their team's results were impressive.

The Cyber Angel results alone were enough, and Misawa had prepared findings on the Zombie-type.

Besides the previously discussed Gozuki and Mezuki, they used these strengthened cards to prove an important fact: in this anime world, all "Yokai" monsters are actually a sub-type of Zombie, and can all evolve into Zombies.

For Yokai and Zombie users, this was a groundbreaking discovery.

It meant all known Yokai monsters could benefit from generic Zombie support, and powerful effects once limited to the niche Yokai type could now apply to Zombies too.

This wasn't just about their own cards' potential—it pointed to the future of an entire type, giving all researchers in the field a new direction.

A truly pioneering discovery!

Of course, for Kira it was obvious—he simply proved what he already knew.

After all, Yokai was an anime-only type; in the real TCG, they never existed. All Yokai monsters from the original series were absorbed into the Zombie type.

So, he guessed this would be the case here, and just nudged Misawa to prove it.

But for this world, it was a huge revelation—especially since it was made by Duel Academy freshmen, and just part of their early achievements.

The experts' reactions were a string of gasps—like watching a new star rise in the card design world.

...

After the meeting, Yako and Pegasus exchanged a few words. Pegasus glanced at Kira's group, gave a mysterious smile and nod, then left.

Yako walked over.

"Truly surprising," Yako smiled. "So, you have talent not just in dueling, but also in development."

"Just lucky," Kira shook hands, smiling. "Mainly, my teammates are reliable."

Misawa and Alexis blushed a little—they knew Kira was the real genius pulling them up.

"Well, since you're out today and HQ isn't far..." Yako invited, "Would you care to visit HQ for a meal?"

Misawa and Alexis were stunned.

HQ?

Could it be Industrial Illusions HQ?

The birthplace of modern Duel Monsters, the holy land for duelists everywhere?

Kira checked with them—they, of course, eagerly agreed. They couldn't miss such a once-in-a-lifetime chance.

"Then we'll trouble you."

"Not at all," Yako smiled mysteriously. "Besides, there's someone else who wants to meet you."

He didn't elaborate; he just said they'd see when they arrived. After the meeting, the three followed Yako, taking a car to Industrial Illusions.

The big boss's car was different. The driver's seat was separated by a soundproof partition, creating a private space, while the back seats were spacious, soft, and springy. The sunroof was open, and gentle music played.

No one spoke for the first few minutes. Midway, Yako suddenly asked:

"Have you learned about the principle of quantum superposition at Duel Academy?"

The three exchanged glances.

"We haven't learned it in class, but I know a little," Misawa said cautiously. "Why do you ask?"

Yako smiled.

"No particular reason. It's just something I've been researching. I think a certain theory might relate to us duelists."

He explained:

"There's a theory that a particle's state is uncertain before measurement—existing in a superposition of possibilities. Only upon measurement does it randomly collapse into one state."
