Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 716

Chương 716: Chapter 716: Project "Underworld"

Thus the fabled cursed Reaper card ended up in Kira's hands.

For now, Kira had no immediate combat use for it. Naturally so—despite being a Reaper's card with the ability to grant godlike topdecks for a price, in itself it's just a 0 ATK/0 DEF normie.

How do you make a 0 ATK vanilla useful? Even he didn't have a quick answer. 1

So the Reaper's greater value to him was research rather than combat. The cursed spirit's power was worth studying. The price—burning life—was nasty, but the purchased power was undeniably strong.

Lucien was a bottom-tier branch student, talent average. Yet the Reaper granted him, an ordinary player, the King-level draw power. Expensive, but you get what you pay for.

A spirit like that merits research.

With Sartorius's mess settled for now, he could finally handle some projects he'd long had in mind.

That evening, an informant from the Knights of Hanoi called the Revolver.

…

"Boss, that person you told us to watch… the world champion 'The D'?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

"Right. What about him?"

"He should be returning from Europe next week."

"Oh?"

Kira had tasked them to track him. The D was a once-ordinary duelist who suddenly awakened, swept the pro scene, and became world champion.

He was also Aster's father's killer—the burglars who stole Destiny HERO – Plasma.

For years he never dared use Plasma in public. It's stolen property; the police and Aster never stopped hunting him. He kept it hidden.

In fact, publicly The D was Aster's guardian; Aster was grateful for his care. Little did he know The D did it just to stay close and monitor the investigation.

Even without using Plasma in matches, he won the world championship—proof of the Plasma's fate-boosting power. No wonder he killed to get it—truly a life-altering key card.

Kira instructed the Knights of Hanoi to keep tracking The D after he returned. The anime's Plasma wasn't as strong as the OCG's, but that means more room to develop.

Though the Light of Destruction spirit left Plasma long ago, the card's spirit still bolsters fate. Perhaps the Light's prior presence changed it. Worth studying.

…

Meanwhile, at the Academy, new trouble arrived.

"The Society of Light?"

Kira frowned slightly. Across from him sat the school nurse, Meanae, reporting.

He'd found that the comic-relief burglars trio who'd infiltrated the Academy for years were surprisingly useful. Despite the gags, years undercover made them good at intel.

With access to Knights of Hanoi resources, they learned Academy happenings instantly.

"Yeah," Meanae said. "Since Sartorius got taken down, our Knights of Hanoi have been tracking the Society remnants' movements."

Calling them "our Knights of Hanoi" sounded odd, but Kira didn't mind. He nodded. "And?"

"We've got something! The Academy's hosting the Genex Tournament, right? We cross-referenced the newest wave of outside entrants with our recent intel.
