Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Raising my hand, I gestured for the two boys to be quiet before stopping right at the beginning of the tunnel.

Right above me, I could see the initial hole we had created right under the tower to enter the tunnel.

After all the sound of footsteps had disappeared, I knew that there would be no more students left at the center.

So, Han, Jin, and I ran backward, following the sound of the footsteps to the area where the battle would take place.

The three of us needed to swoop in when everyone was weak so that we were able to claim a top-ten place.

However, a sudden announcement from the center of the magic space surprised me, throwing off my entire plan.

*ATTENTION*

*ATTENTION*

*THERE ARE NOW TEN STUDENTS REMAINING*

*ATTENTION*

*THERE ARE NOW TEN STUDENTS REMAINING*

...the seven of them had taken out the entire four hundred students themselves, without any of the main cast being eliminated?

Even I expected that there would be some casualties, with maybe even Zach being eliminated... but in the end, they had managed to defeat the entirety of Bertus's army.

Initially, I had planned to go above ground with Han and Jin and take care of any stragglers that were remaining.

The kills would bring some further recognition to Han and Jin, and we wouldn't seem like a bunch of spawn campers hiding underground.

Yet... it was far too late for that now.

We had accomplished our main goal... so I wasn't angry at the change in events.

Rather, I was surprised at the main cast's powers.

I didn't even think I could come close to singlehandedly wiping out over four hundred students.

Maybe a hundred, but after that, my mana would probably start to run low, and I would get overwhelmed.

Guess... the power of teamwork is real!?

Well, it wasn't a fair comparison as they had seven people while I was solo, but still, those seven defeating over four hundred students was still quite the accomplishment.

As the sound of the announcement echoed throughout, even reaching us in the underground tunnel, Han and Jin jumped up and down in happiness.

"WE DID ITTTTTT!"

"WE DID ITTTTT, I CAN'T BELIEVE IT! QUEUE THE INSPIRATIONAL MUSIC!"

Looking at Han and Jin, I shrugged my shoulders and asked.

"What now?"

In unison, the two looked at me with confused expressions before raising their hands.

Jin, facepalm, simply just stared at me while Han finally replied.

"Ren...WE WIN NOW!"

"..."

Ah... they don't know.

They don't know that the other seven people besides us are all the main cast and are all teamed up together.

They don't know that we're absolutely and literally fucked if they so much as see us.

Looking at the determined and excited expressions, I couldn't bear to tell them the truth... so I simply kept quiet.

At the same time, countless footsteps started echoing from the ground above us, signifying the main cast was there.

Han and Jin, also hearing the footsteps, were about to try to burst through the ground to get some eliminations.

Stopping them before they could unsheath their sword and pull out their crossbow, I raised my hand and pointed upward.

Thankfully... I didn't have to tell them.

The voices above would.

As the sound of the footsteps slowly came to a halt, I put my head to the top of the tunnel, attempting to hear every part of their conversation.

After a couple of seconds of useless chatter... and what sounded like rain? I honestly couldn't tell if there was still a fight going on because of the cluster of noises.

Finally, one clear voice emerged from the chaotic sounds around me... a familiar one.

"well...does anyone want to win?"

...

Leaning down, I glanced at Han and Jin, who looked like their entire world had just been shattered.

Imagine your enemies already discussing who would win when you're still in...they basically thought of us as nothing!

And the worst part... you can't even refute it!

They were bound to defeat the three of us.

Maybe if Han, Jin, and I had fought together for a long time, learning how to adjust to each other's special movement abilities, we could have had a chance.

But, the main cast had months of experience fighting together and learning how to perfectly integrate all of their ability in a cohesive team fighting style.

If Han, Jin, and I fought... it would look like a complete mess.

To be honest, I don't think the three of us had ever fought together...

And, since Han and Jin didn't know the full scope of my abilities, our playstyle would be limited even if we had the experience.

As silence sounded from Lily's question, I sighed.

That idiot, Zach.

Why had he not volunteered?

It was a free win...

What the hell had I spent all that time healing him for!?

Who cares if it's a charity win!?

It's still a win, regardless!

Shaking my head, I sighed and watched as Han and Jin crumbled into pieces while our opponents played rock-paper-scissors to decide the winner, acting as if we didn't exist.

Seeing Liam decide as the final winner, I put my head down and leaned against the wall, turning to face Han and Jin.

"Well... as you can see, we have two options no-"

However, before I could even finish my sentence, Jin's furious voice sounded from across the cave.

"We're beating those dumbasses, no matter what. Alright?"

His anger was reasonable, but it also caused him to make.. an irrational decision.

Since I had no qualms with continuing to fight, I stared at Han, who also nodded his head, full of anger.

Glancing between the furious expressions of my teammates and my hands, I wondered.

Why don't I feel mad?

Han and Jin weren't the weird ones... I was.

Our opponents had just acted as if we didn't exist, pretended like we were air.

Maybe... I still view this world as a game... a novel.
