Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Nodding his head in agreement, Han returned his attention to my drawing of the map.

On the other hand, Jin simply stared at my map awestruck before slowly asking.

"Ren... are you an artist or something?"

In reality, when I copied things down with my eye, I wasn't actually drawing; rather, I was tracing.

After memorizing the image of the map in my mind, I simply used my eyes to project it onto the wall and then traced it using my corrupted stick.

Still... I like to think of myself as an artist...although I was basically a plagiarizer.

As I nodded my head in response to Jin's questions, a moment of silence ensued before Jin questioned.

"Ren...are you a hidden genius or something? Like one of those one-in-a-million prodigies...? Seriously, I think you can become one of those magical artis-"

"IS THIS THE TIME!?"

Seeing Jin go silent, I shook my head and replied.

"To win, we have to be focused; are you sure y-"

"for the fiftieth time, Ren. I, Jin Senair, want to win. Alright?"

Nodding my head, I pointed the corrupted stick at the ceiling before saying.

"That's why we have to pop out of here at the perfect time."

"We have to make them think we're doing Han's useless strategy, so they let their guard down."

Tapping my corrupted stick against the ground, I thought for a moment before also adding.

"I may need to call in a favor... or two as well."

...

...

...

Back in a room above the magic space, countless recruiters were standing up with their mouths open and staring at a gigantic television screen.

Even the two alumni of Celestial Academy were sitting upright in their chairs while staring at the jumbotron screen right above them.

Kaneki was leaning forward, his blood-red fiercely locked on Liam's figure on the screen, his legs shaking in excitement.

On the other hand, Kazuki was slightly less relaxed, leaning back in his chair as he passively watched the fight take place.

Even the principal, Seraphina, and her fellow school administrative had their attentive gazes locked on the screen.

There was not a single person in the entire recruiter room, consisting of more than a hundred people, not looking at the jumbotron screen.

The other fifty screens in the room displayed the scenes of Kevin, Alya, Lily, Ruby, Irene, and Zach fighting...yet no one was looking.

All those screens were simply playing... with no viewers.

If someone walked into the recruiter room right now, they would think that everyone on another screen besides the jumbotron was a prop.

On the jumbotron screen, the image of Liam's muddy figure sitting on top of Bertus's muddy figure could be seen.

As absolute silence took over the room, Liam's figure on the screen slowly picked up a sword before stabbing it downwards in a swift and clean motion.

The next second, Bertus's body was no longer on the screen, leaving Liam's muddy figure and sword alone.

Pictured on the screen was the movie-like scene of Liam kneeling down an a heap of mud with a fierce expression.

Dropping his sword on the screen, Liam lifted his head up, staring at the sky as the rain finally began to subside.

"..."

*CLAP*

*CLAP*

"ABSOLUTE CINEMA!"

"I WAS WRONG...SO WRONG; FORGIVE ME!"

"I-I CAN'T... WILL I EVER EXPERIENCE A FIGHT LIKE THIS AGAIN!?"

"M-MY EYES WERE BLESSED TODAY!"

"I-I DON'T WHAT TO SAY!"

In a single second, the silence disappeared, replaced by countless people applauding and cheering.

Some recruiters could even be seen teary-eyed despite knowing that they couldn't recruit Bertus or Liam in their wildest dreams.

That was just how good the fight was...

Smirking, Kaneki leaned back in his seat, before taking out a small notebook and start jotting down some notes.

Contrastingly, Kazuki started glancing at the other screens, taking note of the screen displaying Kevin's fight for a second.

Kevin could be seen overwhelming over ten students alone, displaying his impressive swordsmanship while also demonstrating his battle IQ.

Yet... Kazuki seemed to be the only one watching as everyone else was jumping up and down while celebrating the feast that had just been served to their eyes.

In fact, the sound of clapping and celebrating was so loud that almost everyone missed the loud announcement.

*THERE ARE TEN STUDENTS REMAINING*

*ATTENTION*

*THERE ARE TEN STUDENTS REMAINING*

Ignoring Kaneki, who was adamantly taking notes with a smile, Kazuki immediately glanced at every television in the vicinity.

"ten people...?"

Despite the announcement clearly saying ten people were remaining, Kazuki could only see seven on the screens.

There were over a hundred drones in the magic space... it would be impossible for them to miss three students.

At the start, it may have been possible, but now that the magic space was less than 75% of its original area, it should be impossible for the over a hundred drones to not know where three students were.

Unless... those three students had deliberately hidden themself away from the drones.

Glancing back, Kazuki attempted to see if the school administrative were panicking or nervous as the announcement may have been a mistype or glitch.

But...nope, they were acting completely normal.

As the sounds of clapping and cheering disappeared, everyone but Kazuki curiously stared at the television.

There were seven people left, and there could only be one winner.

Everyone in the room was curious and interested.

Would a betrayal take place?

Would they fight to the death?

How would they decide the winner amongst themselves?

Yet, their curiosity soon disappeared as they realized that the group of students was going to play a luck-based game to decide.

However, the recruiters weren't disappointed as they still managed to witness the amazing and thrilling fight between Bertus and Liam.

Kaneki, finished with his notes, glanced at Kazuki with a confused expression.

"What's up with you? Even I have to admit, that fight was brilliant. Both of them displayed incredible mastery over their respective weapons and skills."

Shaking his head, Kazuki replied.

"Don't you find it odd?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Kaneki asked.

"What's odd?"

"That there's ten students remaining, yet we can only see seven."
