Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

There was another reason why the griffin was this next event.

While Ren was a huge threat to their plan and needed to be taken care of, taking out a griffin for the sole purpose of identifying him was way too much.

Instead, they brought out the griffin just in case the worst happened.

In the end, the principal and main cast valued the lives of the students over the principal's vault.

So, if they had to choose between saving the students and the vault, the vault would be robbed while the students were fine.

In case that scenario happened, the principal decided to bring one of the most valuable things from her vault.

The griffin.

Although the main cast didn't get to see the inside of the vault, knowing the griffin was there, and not even the most valuable thing in the vault, made them even more curious about what else was inside the infamous vault.

Walking towards the vicinity of the griffin, Lily spotted two other students approaching as well.

From her right, a second-year boy approached with blonde hair that was parted in the middle to reveal his forehead and matching yellow eyes.

To her left, a third-year girl was walking with jet-black hair, which was tied into one long ponytail, and dark red eyes.

"...she's oddly similar to someone else I know, isn't she!?"

Shaking her head and dismissing the coincidence as something random, Lily stood before the griffin.

Although it was invisible to everyone else, Lily could feel the magic barrier in front of her due to the massive amounts of mana particles gathered together.

Twisting her head, Lily stared at Principal Seraphina.

And... Principal Seraphina stared right back at Lily with a confused expression.

In response to the principal's gaze, Lily simply shrugged her shoulders before pointing at Professor Zia, who was still examining the bleachers for some reason.

After shaking her head for a moment, Principal Seraphina gave Lily a thumbs up, basically saying, "Well... the show must go on!"

Looking away from the principal, Lily stared at the majestic griffin in front of her.

It was like... a combination of an eagle and a lion from Earth.

An eagle, known for its tenacity and fearlessness, combined with a lion, an animal celebrated for its noble and bold appearance.

Surprisingly, the griffin, the product of the two animals, actually lived up to or maybe exceeded the lion and eagle's reputation.

The second-year and third-year also carefully observed the griffin, looking for the best mounts to mount it.

Lily, shaking her head, took a quick glance at the chairs where the main cast was sitting.

Near the end or in the middle of the event, the emergency alarm would go off.

So, Lily had to be ready to hop off the griffin and run towards the exit.

Currently, Astrid, or the student council president, was supposed to be in charge of following Ren.

However, considering that Professor Zia hadn't even found him in the bleachers, it was likely that Astrid was lost as well.

Or maybe, by some miracle, Astrid had managed to locate him.

The main cast and Lily's job was to eliminate any possible threats that could throw off their plan.

Principal Seraphina and the unknowingly recruited Kaneki and Kazuki were to take care of the more serious threats like the djinns, who would actually kill and harm students.

While Seraphina and the two alumni of Celestial Academy took care of protecting the students, the main cast would venture underground to temporarily guard the vault.

And, once the safety of the students was ensured, which should be quite fast considering the recent construction of the courtyard that had been specifically done to stop djinns, Seraphina would help protect the vault as well.

Dismissing her thoughts, Lily stared at the bigger problem that lay in front of her.

After Ren's fight against both Kevin and Liam simultaneously during the battle royale, the reputation of the main cast takes a plunge.

The once group of students, who were thought to be unbeatable and all-powerful, had almost lost to a former creep.

Needless to say, their prestige had taken a steep downfall.

While no one dared say it to their faces, they would have to be deaf to not hear the rumors and gossip circulating around the academy.

And this opportunity to reclaim the main cast's honors had just been handed to her in the form of winning this event.

As the mana particles dispersed, dispelling the magical barrier surrounding the griffin, Principal Seraphina's voice sounded.

"Contestants, you have thirty seconds to choose your place on the griffin. After that... the last one standing... or clinging to the griffin will be victorious."

As the last words left her mouth, Principal Seraphina pointed her wand at the griffin before muttering.

"Sit."

"Lie down!"

And like a good dog, the griffin obediently followed the principal's directions, sitting and then finally lying down on the floor of the multipurpose building.

"Your time starts now!"

After a couple of moments of hesitation upon seeing the mythical beast... just lying down on the floor with his back to the ceiling, Lily finally moved.

Being the first to move and regain her composure, Lily looked for the best spot immediately.

"The wings...no. The tummy? No... The back...?"

As Lily began contemplating her options, the black-haired ponytail girl walked towards the griffin.

Then, without any hesitation, the dark-red eyes girled and sat on the part of the griffin where the body and wings met.

Within a few moments, Lily also chose her spot, walking over to the head of the griffin, where its golden beak stood.

Climbing on top of the lying griffin, Lily finally reached her desired place or the right ear of the griffin.

And finally, the second-year boy decided that the tail of the griffin was the best place.

Seeing the three contestants all on the griffin, Princiapl Seraphina announced that they had chosen their respective spots.

"The game will begin...in 3!"

"2"
