Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 854

Chapter 854: Chapter 854: A New Term

Even after leaving the Abandoned Dorm, Echo was still dazed.

She couldn’t understand how things had developed like this.

Weren’t they here to spy on the Duel King’s secrets?

The rumored secret facility the Duel King kept on the island, forbidden dark research, and the fact that Professor Viper seemed up to something dangerous this time at Duel Academy.

Those two were their top priorities to investigate. Professor Viper and Fujiki Kira were supposed to be enemies.

And now?

Young Master Adrian left the dorm alongside Kira, looking quite chummy—no, more than chummy. She could even see that Adrian showed this person considerable respect.

Echo had grown up with Adrian and probably knew him better than anyone. Which is why this was so unbelievable—she couldn’t recall Adrian ever treating anyone like this.

"...The visiting group at Duel Academy isn’t just us student reps."

Adrian spoke to Kira as they walked.

"Our team lead is a professor from Duel Academy’s Western Branch, name’s Viper. He used to serve in the military and later transferred to teach at the Western Branch.

He’s extremely capable, and rumor has it he has access to some very dangerous power."

Adrian paused, then lowered his voice.

"Some unverified intel suggests it may be a spirit—a very powerful dark spirit."

Kira raised an eyebrow.

The Gecko Conglomerate’s intel network was solid—they’d even sniffed out Yubel’s existence.

"Got it," Kira nodded.

This surprised Adrian. He looked at Kira twice.

"You already knew?"

He smiled slightly. "Makes sense. This island is the King’s domain. Nothing that happens here could escape the King’s sight. I was being nosy..."

Echo: "..."

Was this still the Adrian she knew?

She even briefly wondered if, in those brief minutes when communications were cut, Adrian had been brainwashed by some unspeakable evil power.

Leaving the grove, Kira parted ways and headed back to his dorm.

Watching him go, Echo finally couldn’t hold it in and asked Adrian, "What happened in there?"

Adrian glanced at her, then smiled and adjusted his glasses.

"Nothing happened between us."

"Impossible," Echo said firmly. "I know you, Adrian. You’re not like this. Why would you cooperate with someone like him?"

Adrian halted and looked at Echo solemnly.

"Because he helped me remember who I am and what I must do. And he’s the only one in this world who can help me make it real."

Echo froze.

What Adrian must do?

Adrian smiled mysteriously, said no more, and walked on.

...

The next day, the academy auditorium.

"Welcome, new students," Chancellor Sheppard said from the stage. "You are the cream of the new generation..."

The usual boilerplate, not much different from the last two years.

Then the chancellor said, "Next, the most outstanding new student representative will speak."

A pretty girl took the stage and the mic.

On the stands, Jaden raised an eyebrow. "Ah, it’s her!"

Beside him, Tyranno tilted his head. "Bro, you know her?"
