Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Tapping her foot up and down, Professor Zia stared at me in silence, making me feel even more awkward.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, Professor Zia asked.

"You know what I'm about to say, right?"

Professor Zia's whole job was to help her students get recruited, become heroes, and, most of all, not end up jobless on the streets.

The number source of djinns across all cities in the human realm is, of course, failed heroes who have either lost everything or given up on life.

Slowly nodding my head, I took a moment to brace myself before saying.

"Actually... I have no intention of joining any Knight Orders."

"..."

"..."

As Professor Zia stared at me with shock evidence on her face, I stared out the door, hoping that anything could save me.

It was like telling your high school teacher that you weren't planning on going to college!

Not bothering to hide the anger and surprise in her voice, Professor Zia put down her papers and textbooks before asking.

"Then, why exactly are you at this school? Why did you choose to come to a school renowned for its incredible recruitment percentage just to not join a Knight Order....?"

Well, it wasn't like I had a choice in the matter, but I couldn't just tell Professor Zia that the safety of the entire world relied on me staying at school and fixing any mishaps with knowledge of the future.

Opening my mouth, I was about to spout out another excuse when a sudden voice interrupted me.

"That's because he's already in a Knight Order. To be more specific, my Knight Order!"

Turning to the open doorway, where a familiar figure with golden-blonde eyes and matching eyes stood, I took back my previous wish almost immediately.

"..."

Turning away, Professor Zia also stared at Charlotte, who was confidently standing in the doorway.

After a moment of silence, Professor Zia shook her head before turning her head and asking.

"...is this true?"

Glancing at Charlotte, I saw her furiously nodding her head up and down with a smile that could captivate almost anyone.

Well... it's not like I'm actually going to join her new Knight Order or anything.

I can just use it as a cover to avoid recruiters in the classroom, and that means I won't have to act to impress anyone!

If I wasn't in a Knight Order, it would be suspicious and weird if I just avoided all the recruiters without even trying to be interested... but now I had a reason.

Nodding my head, I watched as Professor Zia's expression quickly transformed from confusion and anger to somewhat relaxed.

Is she always this nice towards all her students?

I mean, her reputation wouldn't suffer or anything if I turned out as a villain as she was already a renowned teacher, yet she still cared.

Recalling my high-school teachers, who would do the bare minimum, barely ever showing up to office hours and answering questions, I sighed.

Picking back up her documents, Professor Zia walked over to her desk before sitting down and waving me off.

Hesitating for a moment, I slung my backpack around my shoulders before heading to the exit door of the classroom.

Just outside, Charlotte was leaning against a wall, hearing golden hair sparkling and fluttering under the sun's rays, which were shining in from an open window above her.

...is she just the sun at this point?

What are the odds that there is an open window right above her, and that window happens to be where the sun seems to be shining the most!?

...just named character things, I guess.

Seeing me exit the classroom, instead of walking over to me, Charlotte simply gestured to me from the wall.

Sighing, I walked up to her before asking.

"And, what was all of that about?"

Shaking her head, Charlottle got off the wall before replying.

"Saw you were in quite a tricky situation, so I, of course, came to your aid as a good person!"

...wasn't she the one winning in this situation?

She just got me to "join" her Knight Order for free, which would probably give me a couple thousand gold from a recruiter.

Seeing her smirk and proud expression, I held in my laughter before sarcastically saying.

"What would I do without you!?"

Charlotte simply nodded her head at my sarcasm before walking further down the hallway.

...did she know I was being sarcastic or not!?

What does that head nod mean?

She doesn't seriously believe I was being serious when I said that, right!?

As I caught up to her, the two of us walked through the empty school hallways and into the school cafeteria.

As the loud sounds of students chattering and eating flooded my ears, Charlotte took a quick glance at the cafeteria... before simply walking away.

Staring at the trays of the passing by students, I hesitated before asking.

"...I'm hungry th-"

"What was that, Ren?"

"It's for the sake of the vault robbery, Ren!"

"Just listen to her for three days, and then you don't ever have to talk to her again."

Closing my eyes and ignoring the smell of the food in front of me, I walked past the cafeteria, following Charlotte as she went deeper into the hallway.

By the time I caught up to Charlotte again, she was standing still, waiting in front of a closed door, which seemed to lead into a classroom.

After giving me an irritated glance, Charlotte turned to me and said.

"You know, I was invited to join some secret organization within the school."

"Hmm?"

"Apparently, they work in the shadows, helping to protect the school and the students."

"...sounds pretty...wei- cool, I mean!"

Considering Charlotte had a bad ending in the book as she lost the crown race to the prince, it wasn't surprising that, like Irene, Lily was trying to help.

However, why did Lily wait so long?

Seeing Charlottle pensively stand in front of the door, I curiously asked.

"And....did you join?"
