Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

Soma and Hina stood in front of the vast room while looking at the bustling activity that transpired before them. The room buzzes with the sounds of clattering trays, laughter, and the chatter of hundreds of students enjoying their lunchtime.

There are long lines of students towards the serving stations, eager to grab their meals. The smell of various foods the Academy had prepared filled the air, making Soma and Hina's stomach let out a protest.

"Should we line up?".

"You're right, let's go".

Hina answered with enthusiasm as she grabbed Soma's left hand, beckoning him to hurry, dragging Soma by the hands and standing in line waiting for their portion. While waiting, Soma scans his surroundings and sees a group of students gathering around tables, some engaged in lively conversations while others focus on their food.

Occasionally, bursts of laughter filled the entire room, creating a chaotic atmosphere.

Then, from the corner of his eyes, Soma spotted a silver-haired beauty with her usual lack of expression face walking toward the room, baffled about the bustling activities inside. However, Soma noticed a slight change in her aura. He saw her a bit worn down as he pondered what actually happened.

Behind Xiao Lian, there were two males who seemed like a senior who walked behind her and then stood beside her as if it were natural.

Soma couldn't hear what they were talking about, but he could see that Xiao Lian's mood was getting damper every second, So he raised his right hand while letting his voice out loud to attract Xiao Lian attention.

"Xiao Lian!".

"...?!".

Xiao Lian and other students who heard Soma shout turned their gaze toward him as he flapped his hand in the air. Xiao Lian, who noticed his gesture, nodded her head before approaching his side and standing behind him.

"Soma".

Upon closer look, after Xiao Lian said his name. Soma noticed the aura that permeated around her had somewhat calmed down, and she returned toward her usual pace. When Soma was about to open his mouth, his eyes caught the appearance of the earlier males approaching their side casually. Soma knitted his brows, for he sensed something trouble looking at their attitude

"Xiao Lian, do you know them?".

"...No!".

Xiao Lian shook her head intensely to the side while rarely showing her knitting brows. Soma began to dismiss the possibility of an acquaintance between them as he saw Xiao Lian's expression. He lifted his gaze and faced the two seniors. Hina, who noticed the commotion, turned her back and also saw the other guys who approached them.

"Soma".

"It's okay, Hina. Xiao Lian, you could go and take my place first".

Without hearing her answer, Soma grabbed Xiao Lian's shoulder and dragged her toward his side, lining behind Hina. Soon after the two girls reunited, they began to talk about what happened, which Soma ignored as he focused his attention on the two seniors in front.

One of the two seniors who walked in front with a sloppy appearance, short red hair and fiery personality watched Soma casually grasp Xiao Lian's shoulder and knit his brows. The other guy behind him, who had short blue hair, walked composedly from behind as if he were his guard.

Both of them had a distinguished, handsome Asian face that could attract female attention, but Soma questioned his manner when he suddenly stood in front of Soma while glaring.

"Hey you, move away!".

It took only a moment for Soma to realise that the senior in front of him was a jerk. So he shrugged his shoulders, inviting a sneer from the red-haired senior because he thought Soma was going to surrender, but in fact, he was being ignored as Soma turned his back and began to line up with the girls.

The red-haired senior cheek twitched as a visible vein began to appear on his forehead because of the attitude Soma had shown to him.

"I said, move away!".

Soma felt a hand that gripped his left shoulder, making him knit his brows in annoyance. The grip gradually increased in strength, making his uniform wrinkles. But with his current status, he manages to hold it in, and instead, he gives the senior a warning.

"Senior, please, this is my first Warning to you seniors. Remove your hand from my shoulder before you get what you deserve".

Upon hearing the phrase that came out from Soma's lips, the red-haired senior's eyes bulged as the grip on Soma's shoulder tightened.

"Ha?! What kind of dumb declaration is that? I see you are a first-year student, and yet you dare to threaten me with that lousy mouth you had".

"This is the second time. Move your hand!".

"Oh, come on. You are the one who should move. I have some business with that silver-haired girl. Wait, the red-haired girl over there, too, is not too bad, isn't she? It's decided, quickly moves awaaaack…!".

Before the senior could finish his line, Soma swiftly spun from his place before grabbing the senior left wrist and clenched his hand tightly, making the senior face turn blue as he let out a howl that attracted every gaze in the cafeteria.

"This is already my limit! You prepare for what's coming, right?".

"Ack, let me go! You bastard".

"Please, let him go!".

Another third party entered the stage, and the blue-haired senior grabbed Soma's right wrist this time. Soma's brows slightly twitched because he could feel the strength from the guy's grip that could put his spine-tingling in danger. He contemplated for a while before he sighed in annoyance and loosened his grip first.

"You! You dare!".

"There it is. Now it is your turn to release that hand of yours!".

Soma ignored the pathetic howl from the red-haired senior as his focus was merely on the blue-haired senior who still gazed intently at his face and slowly retracted his hand.

"I am sorry for what my master caused".

"...Well, as long as none of my friends get hurt, that's fine by me".

"I will not let this go. Jian Li beat that guy up!".

"I am afraid I can't do that, young master. It would break one of the academy rules if I do that".

"You dare to defy me!".

"It was not my intention to do that".

"What is happening here?"

The two seniors were on the brink of collapse. Another party with a dignified and clear voice stepped in. Her voice reverberated in the room, attracting much attention from the other students who couldn't believe what they saw in front of them.

A black-haired beauty with her cold gaze and strong temperament approached the place of commotion while casting her sharp gaze toward the two students in mention. She looked toward the red-haired boy first before disinterestedly throwing her face away to the other student.

"Soma?!".

"Miss Lawrence".
