Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Carrying the unconscious "Ren" in her hands, Ruby walked towards the window where Liam and Lily were carrying the last few people down the ladder and onto the ship.

Upon seeing Ruby holding "Ren," Liam resisted the urge to take some kind of revenge and scoffed.

" *tsk* Look at this guy."

Warning him, Lily put the last person in her arms and began climbing down the ladder.

"Liam, don't do anything else right now."

After sending the last elemental slash, Liam almost collapsed on the floor due to exhaustion, but after getting up, he still insisted on helping the people down the ladder despite the fact that his legs were trembling from just standing up.

Of course, Kevin had bombarded Liam with questions about his light-blue sword of light, but with Alya's guidance, Kevin had been forced to postpone his questions and head down the ladder with Alya, Irene, and Zach.

Besides a few injuries from the initial explosions and the purple discs, the students were all fine, so Lily sighed in relief.

She was now 1-1 in victories, disregarding the incident that took place before the plot started!

While Lily hadn't necessarily planned for Liam to achieve his power up during this incident, as she believed that he could acquire it any time after, she was still fine with this outcome.

Letting his curiosity get to her, Lily asked.

"What did it feel like?"

She already knew the name of his power-up and the reason why he got it, but she was still curious about how it would feel to wield a sword that dazzling.

"I felt like I could do anything. Every step I took was exhausting but exhilarating at the same time. Felt like I was on top of the world, but every second that passed, I felt like I was being pulled further down to the bottom."

Nodding her head, she watched Liam climb onto the ladder behind her and then Ruby, who had been silent this entire time.

Although she was suspicious of Ruby at the start due to her sudden transfer, Zach had been vouching for her ever since the trip started, so she wasn't majorly concerned anymore.

During this incident, she hadn't done anything special and acted like a normal student who was scared by the djinns; however, when Lily saw her with Ren's body, more suspicion began to rise.

"...I'll have to keep an eye on her."

The two variables in the book, Ruby and Ren, were sticking together? There had to be something odd going on there.

...

...

...

Standing unnoticed in the shadows right next to the window, I let out a sigh as I watched Ruby, the last person, begin to climb down the ladder, leaving the room completely empty.

Wasting no time, I sprinted towards the severed djinn bodies before grabbing all their items and searching for valuables.

Was the hero cast stupid? Leaving behind this vault of treasures for the investigators? I'll be damned!

Going through jacket pockets and taking necklaces, I took everything without even testing to see if they were useful to me or not.

Even if they weren't useful to me, one man's trash is another's treasure!

The amount of money I had collected during this trip was insane! Business was booming... but I needed a plausible way to explain all the wealth to Raven.

If I didn't, he would side-eye me and pretend to shiver every time he saw me for at least a week.

Wasn't the previous owner of the black market supposed to be a bit tougher... and scarier?

Picking up the last few necklaces, I put them inside my huge cloak pockets before taking off my cloak and wiping the blood stains on it.

Taking some water and tissues from the broken-down food area, I wiped and wiped until every last bit of blood from the cloak was gone, reverting it to its normal pitch-black color.

Folding the cloak, I tied it around my waist, ensuring that nothing fell out, before walking back towards the open window.

Looking down the window, I saw Ruby, Liam, and Lily still slowly descending the ladder with the bodies of their students. The ship was at the very bottom of the ladder, waiting for them.

Although I had been surprised by Lily's choice to use ships instead of a helicopter or something that could fly, I wasn't complaining about riding home on luxury speedboats.

Due to the current situation with the world tree being corrupted, all the Elven heroes would have been stuck in the Elven realm, so these ships were probably all the Elvin kingdom could send to help Lily and Alya out.

Tensing my legs, I smiled as I jumped out of the window and down to the ship, which was more than a 100-foot drop.

Falling down, I felt the air rush onto my face, refreshing me from that long battle earlier. In the pitch darkness of the night, no one even noticed my falling figure.

Landing silently on top of one of the speed ships, I hid in the darkness of night, waiting for Ruby, who, for some reason, was holding the body I disguised to be me.

This was going to be... a lot harder than I expected.

As Ruby got onto the speed boat, she began to walk to the storage room, where the rest of the students were stored.

Lily handed the body in her arms to Ruby and headed to the top of the speed ship, where Liam, Kevin, and Alya were waiting with the bodies of Irene and Zach.

Jumping from the top of the speed ship to the ladder, I quietly climbed down the ladder before following Ruby to the storage room.

Hiding in the shadows behind her, I closed in on her as she neared the storage room and then hid in her own shadow. When she opened the door to the room, I slipped in right behind her, completely unnoticed.

Watching her lay down the fake Ren's body, I saw her kneel down and touch his cheek again before walking out of the storage room.

...Does she know? Surely not.

As the door slammed shut behind her, I moved out of the shadows before unwrapping the wound on my hands and letting my blood drip down on the fake Ren's face.

Seeing his face transform out of mine and to his, I moved his body out of the way and prepared to lie down on the floor when suddenly a noise interrupted me.

*SLAM*

Slowly looking upwards, I saw Ruby standing at the wide-open door, staring at my face with a grin apparent on her face.

... it was all a trick. She already knew the person wasn't Ren!

But did she know I was the cloaked figure fighting against them in the room?

Scratching my head, I reciprocated her smile and said.

"Ah I just woke up, the alcohol really got to me!"

"Really, still going with that? You're actually shameless."

I'm a third-rate villain; isn't my entire life and existence meant to be shameless?

Putting my hands on my back, I reapplied the bandages to my hands and slipped my sleeves over them so they were invisible.

"Well, I guess you learn something new every day! Still, shouldn't you know about my shamelessness? I'm quite disappointed."

Walking towards me without any concern for the bodies she was stepping on to get to me, Ruby said.

"Don't get it twisted; I knew you were shameless, but not THAT shameless."

... what the hell is going on?

DOES SHE KNOW THE CLOAKED FIGURE WAS ME OR NOT?

Quelling the chaotic thoughts in my head, I maintained my smile and asked.

"What exactly do you mean by that? I'm quite offended."

Ignoring my question like usual, Ruby reached me and looked up into my eyes before saying.

"We're on a luxury speedboat, yet we're here rotting away in the storage room."

Exactly my thoughts!

But are we just going to brush over my question...? Alright, then!

Feeling a sudden light blind my eyes, I involuntarily closed my eyes, but when I reopened them, the chaotic wind of the night immediately rushed into my face.

We were no longer in the storage room; we were at the top of the ship, where I had been earlier.

Looking down, I could see the 4 main cast members talking seriously, and below them, the waves of the night blue ocean water crashing against our boat.

So, she already had access to it... but how much access?

The Ruby gemstone's order specialty: Spatial Magic.

Even with Liam's new powerup, if Ruby had this access to spatial magic, she could probably kill Liam or at least injure him before backup arrived.

Looking at my expression with a disappointed face, Ruby said.

"You know most people are surprised when something like this happens."

Shrugging my shoulders, I replied.

"Do I look like most people?"

"hmm, you're right. You're way too shameless and stupid to be considered normal."

"... not what I meant, but ALRIGHT!"

Chuckling at my sarcastic words, Ruby put her hands on the railing of the boat and stared at the land, which was getting nearer and nearer to us.

"You know, for a school known as the best in the world, there are quite a lot of problems."

Looking down at Liam, the reason for all the academie's problems, I responded.

"Yeah, like a major villain boss infiltrating the academy. Imagine if that happened; that would be a HUGE problem!"

"*PFFT* or if an academy student that harassed girls on the daily ran away to save themselves when djinns were attacking other civilians."

"Really needed to add that 'harassing girls' part, huh?"

"Just wouldn't be right if I didn't."

Using my enhanced eyesight, I peered into the distance and saw on the land that plenty of heroes and academy supervisors, having heard about the situation, were already waiting for us.

Really, that stereotype about the security always arriving late is pissing me off. Isn't the author overusing it at this point?

How did this author, out of thousands, get his book turned into a real world? Well, that's assuming that the other books are NORMAL and don't have people getting transmigrated into them.

Looking at my sour expression, Ruby followed my gaze before asking.

"Scared of your father?"

Confused, I looked further into the incoming land, and sure enough, there was my father waiting with a sword in his hand.
