Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Shaking her head at Kevin's question, Lily replied.

"No, with all the heroes around because of the Knight Order recruitment sessions and the increased security, the djinns know that their chances of dealing any significant damage to the student population are zero."

Ruby, eating a stick of bright-red strawberries that complimented her blood-red eyes, then asked,

"Then, what is it they're trying to do?"

Moving out from the courtyard on the replica, Lily zoomed into the building where all administrators, including the principal, worked during the school day.

"A vault."

Even though Lily's words would have seemed absurd to anyone else in the world, as she was just saying that there was a secret vault there, the members of the main cast did not blink an eye and instead continued to listen attentively.

Continuing on, Lily further zoomed into the building before saying,

"Their main goal is to draw everyone out to the courtyard. Then, a small group of them will sneak into the building, intending to rob the vault."

As Liam removed the three-dimensional replica of the school from the table and closed his smartwatch, Kevin asked.

"I get that what they're doing is bad and all... but why are we interfering? It's not like the last times when people were going to seriously die. Why don't we just let them take it."

Gazing around the room and seeing everyone either exhausted or somewhat injured, Lily had to admit that Kevin had a point.

The state and health of the main condition were probably at an all-time low, so a break during the Christmas event could help heal that.

However, despite all of that, Lily still replied.

"In the short run, your point is correct. However, think about it in the long term. Imagine how much more powerful and hard to defeat the djinns would be if they got their hands on whatever is in that vault."

As Kevin slowly nodded at Lily's point, Liam questioned.

"What exactly... is in that vault, Lily?"

At Liam's question, everyone's curious gaze slowly shifted to Lily.

What could be hidden in a vault that was so important that it was hidden under the administrator's building?

A building where the principal, one of the strongest heroes at the moment, and countless other strong individuals resided.

Yet, when faced with the curious gazes, Lily remained silent, choosing to keep her mouth shut.

Shrugging her shoulders, Lily hesitated for a moment before replying.

"I don't know... but it has to be important if it's inside the administrator building.

Standing up from the table, Liam said.

"Alright, let's all start thinking of a plan. Tomorrow, we can reconvene and all discuss the ideas we came up with before coming to a final decision on our plan."

Following in Liam's steps, the two girls got up from their chairs before heading to the same couch.

As Irene sat down, putting her legs on the couch and fully relaxing, Ruby walked towards the window.

Instead of a wall, there was just a very large window.

Of course, this was a major talking point when the main cast first discovered Liam's place.

Who wants to plan and work where everyone can see them from the outside?

After countless harsh words, everyone finally calmed down after Liam's explanation.

According to Liam, the window served as one-sided because the principal had embued it with illusion magic, making it a one-sided window.

To the people outside looking in through the window from the outside, the room would seem like an empty classroom, but to the people inside the room, they could see everything outside.

As Ruby approached the window, a dog with pure-white fur suddenly veered off the normal path and headed straight for the one-sided window.

Lifting her head above the couch, Irene glanced out the window before asking.

"Is it that dog again?"

Nodding her head, Ruby tried to stay as composed as possible while she replied.

"Yeah... it's back again."

Since there were hundreds of student-owned pets in the Celestial Academy, normally, a single dog would be unremarkable and unnoticeable.

However, to the main cast, this dog seemed different.

Despite the principal imbuing illusion magic into the window to make it one-sided, the dog seemed to be staring at them right through the window... as if it could actually see them.

Of course, they all trusted and believed in the principal's ability, so it was quickly dismissed by everyone.

Making sure nobody was looking, Ruby walked straight in front of the window, placing her hand on the glass.

At the same time, the white-furred dog raised its right paw to the window.

As Ruby's hand and the dog's paw overlapped through the window, Ruby suddenly placed her hand on her head, almost falling to the ground.

Like Ren, who gained the ability "Sky Flash" in his recent dream, Ruby had also earned some abilities in her time.

However... Ruby hadn't simply earned the ability through a dream.

This skill was gifted to Ruby when she had first taken control of her squadron by the higher-ups of the Gemstone Order.

"...you'll forever be in my debt."

Recalling the worlds that had been recited to her when she had received the skill book, Ruby shivered.

Leaving the Gemstone Order wasn't an easy thing for her...

At first when Ruby had received the ability and spotted the rank of it, she had been ecstatic, practically thanking the gods.

There were less than fifty of these skill books in the world, yet she, a lowly D-rank at the time, had managed to receive one!

Screaming on the inside, Ruby had to pinch herself tens of times to ensure it was real life.

However, as time passed, the joy slowly turned to confusion.

How could she, a new member, have received such a rare skill?

Other members who had been part of the order for countless years hadn't received a single gift in all their time, yet she received a one-of-one skill book within her first week of joining.

She had received the ability to split a soul...
