Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77 - 77: Number One

"I lost."

Alexis let out a breath.

She felt a bit defeated, but she could accept it. Her opponent had the upper hand in traps, disruption, and field control.

She was convinced, with nothing to complain about.

"You win," Alexis stood and said, "But I won't give up. I'll work to get stronger over the next three years and challenge you again."

Kira almost wanted to say, "Sure, let's play for double credits next time, thanks for your business." But the atmosphere wasn't right, so he saved it for later.

Easily earning ten more credits, he thought he wouldn't mind more duels like this.

At this point, student council member Nakamura cautiously approached: "Um... so, Kira, who do you want to vote for?"

Kira suddenly remembered: Oh right, this duel was supposed to be for the election, not his credits. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

He didn't care who to vote for, but Alexis spoke up first: "Vote for Seika-sempai. She needs the vote more than I do."

"Don't joke around," Seika, standing outside with her arms crossed, looked away with an awkward expression, "After that duel, the rest of the votes don't matter."

Alexis: "?"

Seika turned and waved her hand: "Whatever, I'll just withdraw."

The unexpected turn left Alexis a bit stunned. She hesitated, "But I want to be recognized as a duelist, not as..."

Seika paused, then glared at her: "Idiot, why do you think I'm withdrawing?"

"Huh?"

"This is Duel Academy. Every title must be earned through dueling. That's why... I lost to you."

Alexis was speechless.

When she turned to look for the opponent who had taught her this lesson, Kira was already gone.

It seemed he only cared about dueling itself, not any of the aftermath or results.

Alexis: "..."

Maybe... he's a pure duelist too.

Meanwhile, no one noticed that in the crowd, a Slifer Red with jellyfish hair was looking around with a duel disk: "Huh? Has anyone seen Kira? I want to duel him!"

Elsewhere, Seika, who had withdrawn from the election, secretly took out her student terminal in a corner and cast a vote for Alexis Rhodes.

She looked satisfied.

So that's what it means to turn from black to fan.

"..."

Kira, pushing through the crowd, happily counted his newly earned credits as he checked the academy's card inventory for new arrivals.
