Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Chapter 209: Chapter 209:Visitors [3]

Of course, the prince and princess couldn't be recruited as they were a part of the imperial family, so it would be useless for them to compete.

Looking up from my smartwatch, I saw Jin and Han being oddly reserved and quiet about the whole situation instead of confused and stressed.

Further into the classroom, I could that besides us three and the main cast, who Lily had likely told about the event, everyone else was stressed and shivering.

Turning to Jin and Han, I curiously questioned.

"Are you two not nervous?"

Speaking from my right, Jin immediately replied in a proud voice.

"The instructions and board said it won't be worth anything or contribute to our grade, right? Why should I care then!?"

...do I tell him?

This was like when your teacher gave you an exam and said that your grade doesn't matter as it is for "practice" and "personal reference."

Then, then the next day, that very same teacher would walk in pissed with the graded papers, asking why everyone did so horribly and asking us if we thought she was a terrible teacher.

Before I could make up my mind, Han awkwardly laughed before saying.

"Enough with the joking, Jin. Honestly, I'm not stressed or anything because what is that going to do to help me? I've... just accepted these circumstances like a leaf being blown away in the wind."

Shaking my head, I chuckled, breaking the silent atmosphere within the classroom, and replied.

"That poetry elective has done numbers on you, Han."

Also laughing, Jin quickly added.

"Don't forget, he's also talking 'philosophy.' Who cares what a bunch of old guys who were alive thousands of years ago think?"

Pausing for a moment, Jin smiled before saying.

"They're dead, and we aren't. Clearly, we're doing something right and they're doing something wrong!"

...it would be a good point if... yeah, never mind.

Ignoring our jokes, Han looked at the board for a second before turning back to us and asking.

"So... we're forming an alliance, right?"

Surprised, Jin asked.

"Is that even a question?"

As the words came out of Jin's mouth, Han tried to discreetly look at me out of the corner of his eyes.

Folding under the pressure of Jin and Han's stares, I waved my hands up and down before replying.

"Of course, we're forming an alliance... there's just one problem."

Pointing to the area of writing at the edge of the board, I said.

"...all of us are going to be spawned into the magical space at different locations... so how exactly are we going to meet up?"

After thinking for a moment, Han seemed to have a light-bulb moment and rapidly turned around and said.

"I got it! We don't know anything about the location and setting of the magical space... but there has to be a center. Let's just all meet there and form an alliance from the center!"

Shaking my head, I indicated that Han and Jin should be quiet for a moment before pointing at the group of students right in front of us.

"Yeah, Alice is right; let's just meet at the center."

"Every magical space has a center, and it'll be easy to get there, so we can all just meet up there."

Sighing, Han leaned back in his chair while Jin continued to think.

Shifting my gaze upwards, I glanced at the clock, seeing that there were still around three minutes before we were transported.

And just as the three-minute mark passed by, I finally noticed it happening.

On the right side of the room, around fifteen students, more coming with every passing second, had gathered.

The teacher said alliances could be made... but they didn't say how large these alliances could be.

Thankfully, as a seemingly weak and feeble student, I wasn't the target of the alliance.

It was simple.

The weaker students knew that the strong students, in this case, the main cast, would team up.

Thus, if they faced them one by one, of course, their chances of losing were a hundred percent.

So... it was simple, around thirty of the students, in this class one, would form an alliance with the main goal of defeating the main cast.

Of course, these students didn't think far enough to decide what would happen if they could actually take down Ruby, Liam, Kevin, Lily, Alya, Zach, and Irene.

But, it was pretty obvious; they would all turn on each other to secure the most eliminations and highest placement possible.

One might think that this alliance would obviously not work and the main cast would easily pound them as there was no trust amongst each other.

Everyone in the alliance only cared about securing the highest placement possible and getting recruited.

Unlike them, the main cast all trusted each other and had amazing teamwork due to the countless traumatic experiences they had been through together.

Yet, it wasn't as it seemed.

There were over four hundred students in the grade.

There were thirty students in this class of forty who were planning to join the alliance of the main cast.

That's 75% and if we apply that to the four hundred students, that's over three hundred students that would likely be in this one alliance.

And for this battle royale scenario, big alliances were perfect.

They could monopolize the supply drops using their large numbers to slow the main cast down while others gathered crates.

What they failed to comprehend... is how this would look to recruiters.

Who cares if you placed ninth place when you just teamed up with over three hundred students to defeat a small group of ten students!?

Not only that, but these ten students they were teaming up against were the exact students who the recruiters desperately wanted!

Shaking my head, I turned to Han and Jin before asked.

"You're not planning on joining whatever that group is, right?"

As Han nodded his head furiously, Jin said.

"How am I going to stand out when I'm teamed with them!"

The next second, Han and I's expression immediately changed.

"...are you saying that you're going to stand out more with us because we're w-"
