Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 41

Chapter 41 - 41: Scientific Shadow Duel

What Kira saw was a shadow duel. But as far as he knew, Rex wasn't the type to play for life and death—except for that time in the Orichalcos arc, he was a legit duelist who didn't mess with this kind of thing.

It looked like the duel had been going for a while—both fields were empty, and both duelists looked battered and exhausted, barely holding themselves up and gasping for breath.

[Rex, LP 700]

[Fujimoto, LP 300]

Shadow duelist Fujimoto caught his breath. "As expected of a legendary duelist—to fight me to this point, you're good."

He changed tone: "But I swore to use your soul to honor my dead brother! I won't fall here!"

"I told you, I don't even know this Genichiro guy!" Rex roared.

Risking his life over someone he never even heard of—this was the most ridiculous moment of his life.

"His name is Gozuka Genichiro, remember it!" Fujimoto yelled. "Because you're about to go to hell and atone to him!"

"I told you, I don't know him!" Rex was exasperated.

This guy must be nuts. Blabbering about revenge and not listening to a word in response.

If he died in this pointless duel, Rex would never rest in peace.

Kira fell silent.

Gozuka Genichiro. That name sounded familiar.

Wait—that guy who stopped him in the street for a duel the other night said he was originally after Rex but changed his mind after seeing Rex get stomped in the final match...

No way, could it be that coincidence?

Just then, a roar sounded from above, followed by swirling dust and buffeting wind. Kira instinctively shielded his face and looked up—just in time to see a white helicopter descending at the mouth of the alley.

The rotor's wind was wild and powerful like a dragon churning the air. Even before the copter landed, the door slammed open and a figure leaped down, coat billowing like a cape.

The newcomer landed in a superhero pose, then stood up, cloak whipping in the cyclone.

The scene was so dramatic that even the two duelists paused, both looking shocked.

Rex: "You!?"

Fujimoto's face went pale. "The legendary duelist... Seto Kaiba!?"

Kira: "..."

Only Kaiba could make an entrance like a superhero in a card game scene. And to survive a jump from that height—was dueling secretly a superpower workout?

"Brother!"

Mokuba quickly came to stand behind Kaiba, pointing at Fujimoto.

"That guy—the sensor says he's the source of the shadow duel!"

Fujimoto: "..."

He wanted to say, "It wasn't me!" but caught red-handed, he had no way to argue.

"This foolish duel ends now," Kaiba said coldly.

"Beating up a loser isn't a real accomplishment. If you want to play—I'll be your opponent."
