Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Nodding my head, I paused before saying.

"I can assure you that I have no intentions of harming any students or faculty members or the island as a whole."

After silently gazing at me for a moment, Astrid sighed before nodding her head and standing up.

Turning to me, she rapidly said.

"If anyone asks, I was watching over you, alright?"

"Why the hell would they ask me, the target, if you were looking over m-"

But, before I could finish my sentence, Astrid had already disappeared and was not near the bottom of the first-year bleachers.

Sighing, I turned back over to Jin and Han, who had already started a game without me.

"Get me in next!"

Looking at their smartwatches, Jin and Han nodded in unison before desperately mashing the screen of their smartwatch.

Recalling my conversation with Charlotte earlier in the helicopter, I gazed at the stage at the front of the multipurpose building.

The recruiters were participating in this assembly and not recruiting...?

What did that mean?

What did the term "participating" entail or mean!?

Right before the stage and in the empty area between all the bleachers, I saw some faculty members already setting up for the first event.

With my future knowledge of the book, I already knew that the first event would be a teamwork game.

Two students would be selected from each year, and they would work together to try and get as far as they could on a balance beam.

One of the faculty advisors would cast a binding spell that prevented the two from unblinking their arms to ensure no cheating happened.

As students gazed with curiosity at the balance beam that was being set up, I sighed before adjusting my gaze downward.

Seeing Jin's screen flash with a recognizable orange color, I immediately exclaimed.

"DID YOU START ANOTHER GAME WITHOUT ME!?"

" *PFFT* n-no, i-it's the same game."

Seeing Jin and I gaze at each other, Han sighed before seriously saying.

"We just finished, so get on."

Pulling out my smartwatch once again, I was about to open the game application when a sudden loud voice surprised me.

A male figure with a suit on had emerged from backstage and was now standing in front of a microphone.

Using the microphone, which was embued with sound magic, the male figure pointed at the curtains at the back of the stage before excitedly announcing.

"And I introduce you to the only AND ONLY PRINCIPAL OF CELESTIAL ACADEMY!"

Ignoring the announcement, I clicked on the game application... only to be meant with an error message.

[You do not have Wifi or any internet connection. Please check with your school administrator if you believe this to be a mistake!]

"..."

Glancing at Han and Jin's smartwatches, I realized that it wasn't just me who had lost connection.

The school had turned off all smartwatches to force us to pay attention to the stupid assembly!

Sighing, the three of us put away our smartwatches before Jin angrily exclaimed.

"What is this a prison!? A dictatorship!? Where is our basic right to Wifi!?"

Struggling to hold in my laughter, I watched as Han tried to talk reasonably with Jin.

"...are you saying that access to wifi is an inherent right that every human should have...?"

"Yes."

"...but what about inherent rights like owning property, having liberty, the freedom to vote, eat, and drink? Do you really internet connection is up there...?"

"Well, when you phrase it like that..."

Silencing the two's conversation, the curtains slowly opened, revealing a tall figure with dark blue hair on stage.

After waiting a moment for the curtains to finally open, Principal Seraphina elegantly and slowly walked to the center of the stage.

Not even glancing at the microphone, Principal Seraphina announced in a loud tone that echoed throughout the entire multipurpose building.

"Without further a do... LET THE GAMES BEGIN!"

*CLAP*

*CLAP*

As almost every student in the building broke into applause, clapping sounds silenced every other sound.

Finally, after a few seconds, the sound of clapping disappeared as the hype died down.

Seeing this, Principal Seraphina walked toward the edge of the stage before pointing ahead and saying.

"Teachers, pick two students from your grade to compete!"

Ignoring the other years and their bleachers, I peered ahead and saw a group of first-years gathered a distance away from the teachers.

The teachers, ignoring the excited and desperate gazes of their students, huddled up and started to discuss.

Then, after a few seconds, a familiar figure emerged from the huddle.

Professor Robinson.

Sighing, I shook my head and watched as he slowly approached the bleachers of the first-years.

He was out for revenge.

He wanted the people who embarrassed him in front of the recruiters and made his demonstration go terribly.

Stopping in front of the line of chairs right before the bleachers, Professor Robinsons simply ignored the crowd of students in the bleachers.

Staring at the line of students sitting down in the chairs, Professor Robinson pointed at two familiar figures.

Liam and Ruby.

Confirming that they were indeed chosen, Ruby and Liam hesitantly stood up before walking to the center of the multipurpose building.

Behind them, the bleachers erupted into cheers, hopeful that their volunteers would win against the other years.

The other year's volunteers were already present in the middle as the second year had a boy with short brown hair and another boy with short black hair.

And the third year had chosen two girls, one with short jet-black hair and another with long white hair.

Aren't those two opposites?

Seeing the six students gathered at the center, Principal Seraphina pointed at the balance beam before saying.

"Whichever pair that crosses the largest distance on the balance beam will receive ten points!"

As the principal finished her instructions, a teacher emerged from the crowd, walking towards the six students.

As each pair of six students were bonded together, their arms linked, each crowd began yelling cheers.

"GO FIRST-YEARS!"

"SECOND-YEARS ON TOP FOR LIFE!"

"WE"RE TOO OLD TO BE LOSING THESE FIRST AND SECOND YEARS!"
