Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Chapter 240: Chapter 240:Winnable [5]

As the fireworks show ended, the recruiters eagerly listened to the elimination reports while still staring at the screen.

*STUDENT ZACH HAS BEEN ELIMINATED*

*THERE ARE SIX STUDENTS REMAINING!*

*STUDENT LIAM HAS BEEN ELIMINATED*

*THERE ARE FIVE STUDENTS REMAINING*

*STUDENT ALYA HAS BEEN ELIMINATED*

*THERE ARE TWO STUDENTS REMAINING*

*STUDENT JIN HAS BEEN ELIMINATED*

*THERE IS ONE STUDENT REMAINING*

*THE BATTLE ROYALE HAS ENDED*

*THE WINNER IS.... STUDENT IRENE!*

*CONGRATULATIONS IRENE!*

In less than ten seconds, over five elimination callouts had been announced, displaying the sheer destruction caused by the fireworks.

"A MASTER CLASS!"

"I WAS WRONG...SO WRONG!"

"PERFECTION... ABSOLUTE CINEMA!"

As the recruiter's room broke into a round of applause, Kaneki sighed before returning to his seat and staring at Kazuki.

"Want to go grab a bite?"

Thinking for a moment, Kazuki smiled before responding.

"The school cafeteria sounds pretty good right now..."

Principal Seraphina, not wasting another second, got up from her desk as the winner was announced.

Leaving the school administrators behind, Seraphina rapidly exited the coliseum, where the recruiter's room was located.

Pushing back her hair and adjusting her glasses as the sun shined down on her, Seraphina stared at the courtyard, which was currently under "construction."

She had some work to do...

...

...

...

As the last bang echoed through my head, I sighed upon realizing that my surroundings had finally shifted.

Opening my eyes, I was immediately blinded by the sunlight streaming in through the windows.

Adjusting from the pitch-black sky of the magic space to the sunlight took a moment, but as I opened my eyes, I realized that I was back in the classroom.

On the whiteboard, I could see the footage that the recruiters were probably seeing right now as a project-like device was hanging from the ceiling.

Seeing fireworks burst from the bottom of the chasm and upwards at Liam, I smiled, confirming that Ruby had followed through and detonated the explosives she had brought.

Leaning back in my chair, I stared around the classroom... which was practically empty, except for a few students, who were eagerly watching the feed with no idea that I was right next to them.

Hearing my chair crack, the students immediately started staring me, their expressions full of disbelief as they probably recalled my fight with Liam and Kevin just a moment ago on the projection.

Shaking my head, I contemplated whether I should stay and watch how Jin and Han did like a good friend or just head to the cafeteria like everyone else in my class.

They had a 2 in 7 chance of winning, so the odds weren't bad.

Honestly, after being screwed over by Liam and realizing that he basically had immunity to the sleeping gas, I had just sped up my plan.

Initially, I was planning to defeat Liam, then manifest my corrupted wing to pick Han and Jin up from the underground space.

From there, Ruby would detonate the explosives, eliminating Alya, Lily, and Zach, who were all stuck in the underground space.

Then, the victory would be ours.

Shaking my head, I muttered and clenched my fist

"If only Liam wasn't the protagonist...the game would have been ours!"

"What was that?"

"..."

Slowly shifting my head to the right, I saw Ruby sitting in her chair in the middle of the classroom while staring at me.

Chuckling, I ignored her question and asked.

"You must be quite unlucky, huh? Being the first one out is insane."

Shaking her head, Ruby got up from her seat and headed up the stairs to me.

"Am I really unlucky?"

"Well... you were the closest to the fireworks, so your odds of being eliminated were far higher."

"Ha ha ha."

After fake laughing for a second, Ruby immediately deadpanned before yanking my chair out from under me.

Landing on the cold floor, I sighed and looked up at Ruby, who now had a smile on her face..

"What was that f-"

However, before I could finish my sentence, Ruby turned around and began heading down the steps.

"What are you waiting for? The food's going to get cold if we wait longer!"

Getting up from the floor, I took one last glance at the projector and began running after Ruby.

[Winner: Irene. Runner Up: Jin.[

"...unlucky, I guess."

Shaking my head, I exited the classroom and caught up to Ruby, who was walking towards the cafeteria.

Walking side by side with Ruby, I asked.

"You know you fulfilled your part of the bet... pissing off Liam. I'm sure he'll be furious when he realizes that I got him elimanted while already being eliminated myself."

Pausing for a moment mid-stride, Ruby asked.

"Don't forget... I also saved your clone... or whatever the hell that thing is!"

Shaking my head, I entered the cafeteria before replying.

"I guess I owe you two favors now."

The line was relatively short as the student alliance had already eaten and left the building, so the two of us swiftly grabbed our food.

The school day was technically over once you were eliminated, so most first-years were in their dorm rooms or in the training hall.

Looking at the dimly lit cafeteria, I turned to Ruby and whispered.

"I knew a better spot."

"What If I told you knew that I knew a better spot than your spot."

"..."

After a quick game of rock-paper-scissors, which I proposed to Ruby, I grabbed my tray and followed Ruby as she led me to her spot.

Heading outside of the first-year building, I followed Ruby as we walked by countless benches and other eating spots.

However, instead of stopping, Ruby continued forward, heading straight for the forest that surrounded the campus.

Stopping for a second, I questioned.

"Where exactly is this spot?"

Seeing me halt, Ruby ignored my question and grinned before grabbing my shoulder and dragging me forward into the forest ahead.

"You don't trust me?"

"...I do."
