Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 462

Chapter 462: Chapter 461: Launching a New Project (Bonus)

Alexis came to the hospital room. When she saw the pale, frail man hooked up to all sorts of medical equipment, she froze in shock.

She slowly approached, as if barely believing it, reaching out to touch his face.

Almost as if afraid this was just a dream.

But it wasn’t a dream. The man she’d searched for with all her strength—her top priority since joining Duel Academy—was lying right in front of her.

He was weak, as if he could pass at any moment, but at least he was alive—better than her worst fears.

"Onii-chan..."

The girl knelt beside the bed, gripping her brother’s hand tightly, as if she’d never let go again.

"Thank goodness... Thank goodness... Thank goodness..."

She sobbed for a long time before finally regaining control, wiping away her tears and standing up again.

Only then did she look at Kira, who had stood silently nearby, aura farming. Thinking of how she’d lost control of herself before, she blushed in embarrassment.

But she was naturally open; she always saw herself as a duelist, not just a girl. Ever since her brother went missing, she’d become even more resilient.

She quickly composed herself and bowed deeply to Kira.

"Thank you... Thank you, Kira, for helping me find my brother. This was my greatest wish. If I hadn’t found him, I don’t know..."

She trailed off, taking a deep breath to calm herself.

"I don’t even know how to thank you..."

"It’s nothing, really."

Kira waved it off with a casual smile.

As for her brother having been a dark duelist and getting beaten up by him just now—there was no need to mention that.

Atticus’s mind was controlled by the Nightshroud mask; the only way to wake him was through a shadow duel. Later in the anime, he’d voluntarily put on the mask twice more, and both times only a timely duel saved him from being controlled again.

Alexis asked about her brother’s condition, but Kira said he didn’t know the details; they’d have to ask Atticus himself when he woke up.

Of course, that wouldn’t be anytime soon. Kira knew Atticus would likely be in a coma for months. The doctors said things didn’t look good—recovery would depend on fate.

Alexis was saddened, but said nothing. She thanked Kira several more times.

Now, looking at Kira, she felt more complicated than before. She’d known he was stronger than the other students, had seen him defeat legends, but never thought much of it, just saw him as a top student like Zane.

But now it was different.

Duel King.

That title had always seemed so far away. Even the legendary duelists they’d all admired, those famous before they’d even started dueling, seemed dim compared to that title.

Duel King—the absolute proof of supremacy. She never imagined someone like that would be at her side, at Duel Academy. Sharing the same campus, but already on a completely different path, one all others could only look up to.

She found herself growing nervous, even in conversation.

"Well, if you insist on thanking me... let me think..."

Kira tilted his head, as if really considering what to ask for.

Alexis held her breath, a little nervous.

Whatever he said, she’d have to agree—the favor owed was enormous. But now he was the Duel King; anything he wanted was probably already his.

"Right, here."

Kira suddenly took out a deck and handed it to her. Alexis accepted it, confused.

"Red-Eyes Black Dragon?"

She looked up in surprise.

"This is Onii-chan’s..."

"Yeah, Atticus’s deck. The legendary Red-Eyes is really powerful. But I think it has even more potential."
