Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34 - 34: The Ruins Invitation

Morning, the Duel Dojo.

Kira got up early, bought some breakfast, and arrived at the dojo.

Before he could enter, he ran into Koji Sato.

Koji's eyes lit up at seeing him and he hurried over. "Senpai! You're here early today!"

"Uh, Koji, you don't have to be so formal. Just call me kouhai as usual."

"Sure thing, Senpai." Koji grinned. "You're here to see the master, right? He's inside."

Kira: "..."

He's not sure when, but somehow he's become the dojo's senpai.

Koji also signed up for Duel Academy's entrance exam but failed the written test.

Kira doesn't get how anyone could fail such an easy test, but the passing rate is pretty low. In the anime, Jaden Yuki's written score was 110th, and that was near the bottom, meaning only about a hundred passed—so it's tough.

At the master Takeuchi's office, the door is open.

He goes in and sees Takeuchi sitting in his chair, wearing a heavy VR headset, laughing lewdly, his cheeks flushed.

Kira ponders for a moment.

He figures it's probably rude to interrupt, so he quietly leaves, pretends he never came, stands outside, and knocks on the open door.

Then loudly asks, "Master, are you in?"

Inside, there's a scramble and a thump, like something fell. After a few seconds, a voice answers.

"Come in."

Kira enters, expression neutral as if nothing happened and he hasn't noticed Takeuchi's messy hair.

"Just arrived?" Takeuchi asks cautiously.

"Yeah, just got here," Kira replies calmly.

"Hm, you didn't see anything strange, right?"

"No," Kira feigns confusion, glancing around. "Did something happen?"

"Oh, nothing, nothing. I was just studying deck building." Takeuchi yawns. "Why are you here so early?"

"You asked me to come by after the exam," Kira reminds him.

Takeuchi smacks his forehead. "Oh, right. My memory's getting bad as I get older."

Kira thinks, No, master, I don't think it's age. Maybe you're just... overindulged.

Especially since, in this world, with such advanced holographic technology, it's no surprise that certain industries in Rule 43 are booming, which must be hard on the kidneys of long-time gentlemen. High-level stuff.

"Congratulations on passing. I heard your test performance was great—you didn't shame our dojo." The master laughs. "Once you're in, study hard. The revival of our style is up to you." _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}
