Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 602

Chương 602: Chapter 602: The Strongest Professor

"My name is Depre Scott," the man on the screen said calmly. 1

"Perhaps you've heard of me, Duel King."

Kira raised an eyebrow, thinking for a moment before shaking his head.

"Sorry. There are too many duelist I've beaten—I can't remember half their names."

The man wasn't angry, just laughed.

"Understandable. If you stand at the top, why bother with the names of small fry?"

He narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"But I'm different. I once came so close to the top—just one step away from defeating the greatest duelist of that era:

The man called Yugi Muto."

"Hmm?"

Kira looked him over.

Was there really someone who almost beat Yugi Muto?

Thinking hard, he suddenly recalled.

"You're a Card Professor?"

"Hahaha, seems you have heard of me." He smiled proudly. "Yes, I was one of Pegasus's Card Professors—in fact, the strongest.

Depre Scott, challenging you, the Second Duel King."

Kira remembered now. This character was also from the spin-off manga, an important rival in Yugi's growth.

Back then, Dark Yugi (Atem) had defeated several Card Professors, but even the Pharaoh was feeling fatigued from so many consecutive matches. So Yugi volunteered to take over while the Pharaoh rested.

It was then that Yugi fought Depre Scott.

He was likely the strongest Card Professor—Yugi struggled in the first half, even doubting he could win. Depre mocked him, saying the "vessel" should get lost; he wanted to face the true Pharaoh.

In the end, the Pharaoh reappeared, not to duel but to inspire Yugi. Yugi rallied and won.

Story-wise, this was probably the first opponent Yugi truly defeated on his own, a milestone on his path to becoming Duel King without relying on Atem.

He once forced Yugi to the brink, so his strength was real. But Kira thought Depre was a bit overconfident.

Back then, Atem did most of the dueling; Yugi had little experience and no resolve to win, so struggling was normal.

If Depre challenged Yugi now, he'd find out what a true Duel King is.

"The Pegasus Foundation's been thoroughly infiltrated— even an ace like you is a puppet," Kira said coolly. "You really don't want me back at the Academy, huh?"

"Enough talk," Depre said coldly. "Today, only one of us will touch ground. Let's see how the Second Duel King compares to the first."

"Fine, if you insist..."

"Duel!" x2

[Kira, LP 4000]

[Depre, LP 4000]

Aerial duel—both flying jets through the clouds. Silent Magician and Greed Quasar retreated to their decks after the brief clash.

Victory would be decided by cards.

"I'll go first. Draw."
