Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 901

Chapter 901: Chapter 901: The Extra Chancellor?

A double knockout in one turn!

Crowler and Bonaparte, the academy’s two head professors, were utterly spiritless, looking as if they were in mourning. When they looked at each other, all they could see was despair.

They’d lost.

They’d given everything they had and still couldn’t defeat him. Yet they really had tried their very best.

But the opponent wasn’t even human...

Now, they fully realized how naive their thoughts at the start of the duel had been.

Just because it was two versus one—because they had double the hand size, double the Life Points, double the field zones, even double the turn count—they’d started to think that maybe the two of them could actually do it, that perhaps they had a real chance.

Looking back, having that kind of thought was just laughable.

Who was on the other side?

The Yellow Dorm King, the pinnacle of the dueling world!

Pegasus, Seto Kaiba, the Tenma brothers—those legendary figures they’d heard about since entering the world of dueling, the ones they’d grown up revering as myths—who among them hadn’t tasted defeat at this youth’s hands?

Even if it were two-on-one, how could a pair of mere academy professors hope to challenge such a giant?

Crowler’s triple-fusion Ancient Gear Golem with 4400 ATK was already the hidden trump card he treated as something he’d never casually reveal, a secret ace he’d never once used against his own students since joining the academy.

Yet compared to the way Kira was flinging around ten-thousand-ATK monsters like they were free common tokens, the pot of greed professor deflated on the spot. He felt like a three-year-old waving a plastic toy knife.

Bonaparte glanced weakly at Crowler.

"Maybe... we really never had a chance from the very beginning," he said gloomily. "I really didn’t want to end up unemployed together with you, Crowler..."

"Quit whining," Crowler muttered dully. "My twenty-six-year mortgage... sigh..."

Just saying it made his head hurt again.

But then again, it was strange. Despite losing, despite Bonaparte failing to live up to his expectations and land the finishing blow, for the first time ever he kind of felt like Bonaparte wasn’t all that annoying.

The same went for Bonaparte. Crowler didn’t seem quite as insufferable as usual either.

Now that they’d lost their jobs together, they’d probably be leaving Duel Academy side by side tomorrow. When they went out to look for work, they could look out for one another...

Thinking of that, he even felt a hint of camaraderie. Give them a couple years fighting side-by-side out in the real world and they might even become brothers...

"Thank you both, professors, for the valuable lesson."

Kira put away his Duel Disk and walked over with a smile.

The two professors shared a look, sighing helplessly, faces full of resignation.

"No need to thank us, Kira-kun," Crowler said. "In my heart, I know: there’s nothing I can really teach you anymore. I... I’m not your professor anymore, either..."

"Please don’t say that." Kira’s smile faded; he grew serious. "Back when I first entered the academy, you helped me a lot. From now on, there’s still much I can learn from you.

No matter how far I go, no matter what step I reach, I’ll never forget that you are one of my most important professors."

Crowler’s eyes flickered. He was genuinely moved by that.

This student’s achievements had long since surpassed his own—or rather, he’d reached a height Crowler had never even dared to dream of. And yet even so, the boy still acknowledged him as a professor. For a moment, Crowler felt that he no longer had any regrets left at this academy...

"So, if you don’t mind, professor, I hope you’ll continue to guide me on the path of research and exploration from here on," Kira said with a smile.

The two professors looked at each other.

"Eh?"

"So you mean..." Bonaparte asked, a little incredulous.

"We... passed?"

"Of course," Kira said seriously. "I never said you had to win to be considered qualified, did I?"

The two head professors stared at him in surprise—and then, at the same time, their faces lit up with joy.

"So that means we..." Crowler turned to Bonaparte.

Then the two of them suddenly lunged forward and hugged each other tightly.

At that moment, they saw Chancellor Sheppard walking slowly over from that direction. His shining bald head was visible from a mile away. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
