Transmigrating as an Extra Third-Rate Villain

Stopping for a second, Kankei vaguely recalled the announcement that he had just heard a few seconds prior.

"Hmm?"

Confirming Kazuki's words, Kaneki glanced at every single screen beside the jumbotron one, indeed finding that there were no other students.

As Kaneki was about to turn around to check exactly what Kazuki had done with the school administration, a second later, Kazuki stopped him and said,

"It's not a glitch."

While Kazuki seemed interested in the missing three students... even more so than he was in the battle from earlier, Kaneki simply shrugged his shoulders.

"So what? The three missing students are probably just a bunch of campers hiding in some vague place."

"...still, shouldn't the drones be able to see them?"

Shaking his head, Kaneki sighed.

"I swear, you always get worked up over the weirdest things, Kazuki. Even when you were student council president, you always ignored the bigger issues for smaller ones."

Not able to refuse Kaneki's claim, Kazuki leaned back in his chair.

However, that didn't mean he calmed down in the slightest.

Every few seconds, Kazuki would glance at the over thirty screens in the room, trying to find a glimpse of the three missing students.

Seeing his friend act like an owl, swirling his head to look at every second, Kaneki tapped his chair before getting up.

Kaneki pointed to the principal and the school administrative group behind them.

"Look, if you're so interested, let's just go ask the principal. She'll know what's going on, alright?"

Still sitting down, Kazuki paused for a moment and replied in a fuming tone.

"What makes you think she'd tell us? Don't you remember our days in the student council!? We had to casework without even knowing what the damn case was!"

Grinning at the sudden throwback to their school days, Kaneki responded.

"Look, it's different now. We're not just some students she can blow off. We're representing the top knight orders in the real as recruiters."

Following Kaneki's lead, Kazuki stood up for a second before heading towards the school administrative section.

Passing by the security with a nod, Kazuki and Kaneki approached the principal's desk, drawing the attention of the school administrators.

Seeing her view of the jumbotron was blocked, Seraphina glanced upwards, seeing the face of two of her former students.

Smiling, Seraphina asked.

"Oh? What do we have here...my former student council president and vice president? I must say, I was very disappointed when the two of us didn't come visit during the school festival this year."

Matching the principal's smile, Kaneki replied.

"Ah, my father and younger sister went, as I was busy... with other things. I did hear that it went splendidly from the two of them, though."

After examining the expressions of the school administrative one last time, Kazuki answered.

"Unfortunately, I was unable to make it as well."

Looking at Kazuki, Seraphina replied.

"You should have come...your brother, Kevin, is a real talent, you know? Maybe on par with you."

Pausing momentarily, Seraphina glanced at Kaneki before immediately returning her gaze to the two of them.

"What seems to be the problem, my dear students?"

Seeing Kaneki gesture to him, Kazuki sighed before replying.

"I was wondering...where are the last three students? I can't seem to see them on any of the screens available."

"Hmm?"

Trusting Kazuki's judgment, Seraphina didn't glance at the screens for confirmation and instead looked behind her at the school administrative.

One of the school administrators, in a pure-black suit, stepped forward and answered.

" *ahem* It seems... our drones aren't able to locate the three students who are not on the screen. Our drones are currently searching."

Pausing for a moment, Seraphina, now interested in the subject, replied.

"Let me know the identity of these students."

Since they could check for all the students eliminated, it would be quite easy for one of the school administrators to just check which students hadn't, using the database.

Nodding their heads, the administrators scurried to the back, leaving Seraphina and her former students alone.

Left in the awkward silence, Kaneki asked, trying to stall for time until the administrators came back.

"How is the student council doing nowadays?"

Smiling, Seraphina replied.

"Oh, you may know the student council president, Astrid."

Recalling the name, Kazuki paused and replied.

"Ah, the first year we invited?"

As Seraphina nodded her head, she pointed at the seven students on the screen before replying.

"I believe Kevin, Liam, Lily, and Alya are also on the council."

As Kaneki nodded his head, Kazuki seemed to pause for a moment, counting in his bead, before eagerly asking.

"And... who's the last member?"

"..."

"..."

"...ah, it may have slipped my mind. I do believe it's a boy from the same class as them, though."

As the three finished their conversation, the school administrators reappeared, holding three files with them.

Taking the files from the administrators, Seraphina quickly glossed over each of them, her face growing more and more interested with every passing document.

Unable to see from behind the desk, Kazuki and Kaneki attempted to lean over the desk and see the files; however, they simply couldn't.

Grinning, Seraphina handed the three documents back to the administrators before shifting her gaze to the two waiting boys.

"Are you sure you two would like to know? It might ruin the great surprise later!"

In unison, the two boys replied.

"YES!"

"hmm... I'll give two names. I believe it's 'Jin' and 'Han.' "

Not knowing any of the two names in the slightest, Kaneki glanced at Kazuki, but he also did not know either of the names from anywhere.

Sighing, Kaneki shook his head and asked.

"Did we waste all this time for a bunch of randoms?

Disappointed, Kaneki left the two behind and headed back to his seat, returning his attention to the jumbotron.

On the other hand, Kazuki patiently waited before once again asking.

"And the last student remaining?"

Shaking her head and seeming to think for a moment, Seraphina replied.

"Ah... I can't quite remember. I do believe he is a boy from the same class as those two... though."
