Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Shaking his head, Kaneki sighed before responding.

"I wouldn't even care. I swear, even if he had a plan behind all of this, there was still no need for him to do all of this. There definitely was a less eccentric and infuriating way that he ignored for no reason whatsoever."

"..."

Seeing Kazuki silent, Kaneki continued.

"I mean, he has to know he's pissing off all the recruiters by doing this, right?"

Knowing the Kaneki was most likely right, Kazuki nodded his head before returning his attention to the jumbotron.

Then, as the beak of the fire phoenix touched "Ren," the room went silent, waiting to hear the voice that would announce his elimination.

Yet... that voice never came.

On one of the smaller screens, Alya caught up to Jin, who was still rapidly hacking at the ice layers on the statue's base.

But as Alya thrust her rapier forward, Jin jumped in the portal, disappearing without any trace. The portal vanished when he entered.

Ren, staring and seeing that Jin had vanished, stretches his hands outwards.

"Well, it's time to get some eliminations."

From a distance, Ren timed it perfectly so that he dismissed his corrupted figure right as the fire phoenix was about to hit it.

Unfortunately, Ren did lose some corruption in the process, and part of the phoenix melted the corruption; however, it was worth it in his mind.

Feeling some of his corruption return to his body as he dismissed that figure, Ren manifested a pitch-black bow and a couple of arrows.

Nocking an arrow in his bow, Ren aimed directly at Liam and Kevin, who were about to let go of their weapons as the statue was beginning to stabilize due to Alya's icing the base.

Seeing this, Lily didn't hesitate and yelled out from atop the statue.

"KEVIN, LIAM... REN'S ARROWS INCOMING."

Pausing for a moment, Lily attempted to find Ruby, who had been in charge of taking care of the right Ren, but she was nowhere to be found.

Had she been eliminated...?

Unfortunatlely, Lily was unable to check the amount of people left in the battle royale, so she just had to make assumptions.

Only after five people were left would another announcement be made.

Ruby had been eliminated... at least, that's what Lily believed, considering Ren was standing there while Ruby was nowhere to be seen.

Spotting the bunch of fire right under Ren and his bow, Lily sighed, confirming her theory.

That was Ruby's spell...

Considering the skill Ren had displayed during the carriage battle, it wasn't surprising that he had managed to defeat Ruby.

But what was confusing to Lily... was how he did so silently without anyone noticing.

If Ruby had called for help just once, she would have been saved by Lily's spells or someone else...yet Lily did not hear a peep from the right side.

Shaking her head, Lily blamed her own incompetence as she had failed to counteract Ren once again.

Internally promising to avenge Ruby, Lily created a water shield before placing it right in front of Liam and Kevin.

Looking at the statue and the orb of glowing yellow light, which Lily was on, Ren sighed before pointing to a nearby drone.

They were all isolated, just like he had planned.

Alya was freezing the statue, Zach was trying to figure out the situation underground, Liam was to the right of the statue, and Kevin was to the left.

Finally, Irene was simply staring at the wall, confused as to where Ren had went and how he had dodged her spell.

"I guess I'll put on a show."

In the next second, two gigantic corrupted pillars, each exactly the size of Ren's shoe, plunged out of the ground.

Like stilts, the pillars sprung Ren up into the air until, finally, his face was at the exact height of the top of the statue.

Matching his long legs, two corrupted arms, matching Ren's arms as well, appeared from Ren's chest and plunged outward.

After being completed, these arms were the exact length of the statue.

And in those gigantic arms appeared a pitch-black broadsword, which reached all the way from Ren's hands to the ceiling of the magic space.

"..."

Utter silence.

In the recruiter room, not a single word could be heard.

After no announcement of elimination, which could only be heard by them and not the participants, and seeing Ren appear on the other side of the magic space, initially, recruiters were shellshocked.

Cloning?

Was that even an ability?

Sure, it had been heard of... but for a student, first-year let alone, to pull it off and trick the smartest and strongest students in the first year was amazing.

However, that marvel soon transformed... into even more marvel.

On the jumbotron, Ren now seemed like a giant as he was as tall as the statue, with his sword poking at the tip of the magic space.

He was quite literally the height of one of the academy's buildings...

Staring at the pitch-black giant on their screen, no one dared to speak, scared that they would miss what happened next.

They, alongside the main cast, were so focused on the giant Ren's actions that they failed to notice five soaring crossbow arrows.

The arrows had a normal tip... but attached to them was a familiar potion.

Landed around Ren's corrupted shoes, the arrows created a rectangle that perfectly encapsulated Ren.

Then, in a slow and... very unclean and unpolished motion, Ren swung his gigantic broadsword downwards.

Lily, realizing that it was impossible for her to protect the statue anymore, leaped off, landing next to Alya at the base.

Liam and Kevin... immediately took their opportunity.

The bigger the target... the easier it is to hit.

And Ren, right now, was one really big target.

*SWOOSH*

As Ren's massive broadsword severed the statue in half, causing the orb of light to fall to the ground, Liam and Kevin began relentlessly attacking Ren's corrupted legs.

However... as they began attacking, they started feeling more and more sleepy.
