Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 650

Chương 650: Chapter 650: Giant Battleship Assault

Even though it was the weekend, Alexis Rhodes got up early.

She'd been busy lately. Not because of classes—those were easy for a top student like her. Regular lectures and homework no longer took much time.

Ninety percent of her energy was going into the lab.

Not because the lab boss, Kira, was squeezing them—no weekends, no breaks. In fact, Kira's management was pretty relaxed, especially with veterans like Alexis and Misawa. He almost never assigned them hard deadlines.

No pressure or mandates—she simply wanted to work.

The past year's research had dramatically improved her skills and sparked a deep interest in card-crafting research.

Just as she had chosen this path largely out of her love for dueling, the urge to explore the dueling world and forge new results into new cards filled her with passion.

Of course, compared with Misawa's zeal, she felt inadequate. She still had a life beyond card-making, with rest and balance.

Misawa, on the other hand, practically lived in the lab and didn't even want to go back to Yellow Dorm. He'd become the Academy's famed research maniac, the kind you never saw around.

On her self-appointed overtime commute, cutting along a familiar forest path, Alexis noticed a fog rising around her.

She'd never seen fog this thick in these woods; in moments, it was a whiteout, impossible to tell direction.

Then she heard a strange sound.

A crackling flurry of button presses, and some oddly familiar game sound effects.

Puzzled, Alexis followed the noise. As she approached, she was startled to see someone sitting in the grove, clutching a game controller and mashing buttons. Before him were a console and a monitor. On screen, a tiny plane he controlled was charging through a hail of bullets.

Alexis was stunned.

Playing console games in the grove?

"Ah, you finally made it."

The person seemed to notice, set down the controller, stood, and turned.

He stretched his fingers, flexing them lightly, a mischievous smile on his face as he looked at Alexis.

"I've been waiting for you, Alexis Rhodes."

"Waiting for me?" Alexis thought, "You're that Lorenzo, right? The shooting game champion, the dueling prodigy—"

"Hahaha, you know my name? I'm flattered."

Lorenzo grinned.

"So, how about it? Dare to duel me, Ms. No. 1 of Duel Academy?"

Only now did Alexis notice he wasn't in a Blue Dorm uniform—he wore a flashy white outfit.

Did the Academy even have a uniform like that?

The fog thickened, encircling them, hiding even the trees.

Her instincts told her she might not have the right to refuse this duel.

"Either way, if it's a duel, I never turn it down."

Alexis unfolded her duel disk.
