Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

A day passed since the event on the beach. Soma and his gang were currently gathered inside the private plane Serafina owned, which had a comfy and luxurious interior, showing how much wealth Serafina had.

Their destination is the Academy, where there will be another commotion that will happen. Soma has taken the initiative as he is beginning to not rely too much on the plot. As for Leon's growth, he will have a chance later.

Inside the body plane, Hina, Xiao Lian, and Serafina sit around while discussing rather disturbing things, which men would feel instigated to hear. Also the one who started it was none other than Serafina.

Soma was alone while closing his eyes, focusing on controlling the mana around his body, circling it through his veins and then to his heart. He repeated that several times as if he were breathing; occasionally, when he got drenched by sweat from his boiling body, Soma would take some drink to cool his body off before continuing again.

[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]

He is currently dividing his consciousness into two parts; half of it he would use to perceive his surroundings in case the girls had something to discuss with him, and the other half is for him to concentrate on activating his Mana manipulation skill to its maximum.

With this the homework he needed to deal with had at least reduced by one. But his training only began this morning as he rode the plane so that nothing can compensate for that without a diligent mindset.

[Extra Skill Adapt activated]

[The speed of your training is speeding up]

[Mana Manipulation proficiency skill up]

"Hm, what?".

A translucent window that popped out of nowhere made Soma stiffen his body with open eyes. He never expected the skill Adapt can be used like that.

After all this time, he only knew that adapt would be activated when a certain harm came to his body internally or externally, however, this was something else with which he could train faster than ever.

But, it comes back toward one other thing: why is it activated now when he always used the Martial Saint technique, cladding his body with lightning? Why does his lightning magic not go up?

"I must test it for sure".

The moment when Soma wanted to divide his consciousness to practice lightning magic, a shadow blocked his vision, and Hina brought a drink of orange juice to his place.

"Here!".

"Thank you, Hina".

Hina replied with parted lips as she began to sit beside him naturally. Without any prior notice, Soma unconsciously receives the glass, which is chilled by the chunk of ice inside that roused his thirst.

He took a sip of the juice, and it brought forth the citrus flavor that burst apart in his mouth, invigorating his spirit to do more.

"Soma, are you not bored out here, alone?".

Then, the other girls, who seemed bored or somewhat interested in what Soma was doing, approached his table and gathered around the four of them.

"No, it was rather fun training".

"Well, that's to be expected from you".

"What do you mean by that?".

Serafina shrugged her shoulders and began sipping the juice Soma had, which made Hina smile wryly.

"...Soma, I feel you are regulating your mana around your body. Did you have Mana manipulation just like us?".

"Yeah, I have one with me".

"So you decide to train it?".

"I mean, it's such a waste not to use it right, even though I mainly fight with Martial Arts."

With Xiao Lian and Hina, who come to enter the conversation, Soma mostly divides his consciousness to train, leaving the remaining thirty percent to answer the girl's question.

Hina and Xiao Lian, who saw Soma's determined faces, exchanged looks with each other, slowly closed their eyes, and circulated the Mana within their body.

"Hm? It seems I am the only one who takes it easy".

"Then, why don't you train too? You have it right as a Wizard, Mana manipulation skill? ".

"Yeah, I have it, and it was so hard for me to breach the gap from intermediate to advanced".

"Wow, I didn't think you had that much mastery in magic".

"Please, I was your senior, remember, I have more experience in life than you. Beside…".

Serafina's tone slightly changed in the last line, which made Soma turn his attention to her. From the looks of it, it seemed a serious matter that Soma did not want to involve himself yet.

"...Okay, Senior, then let this Junior of yours delve into their training, and don't play tricks, please".

"Who do you think I am?".

Thus, the four of them began to do their own things. Hina and Xiao Lian, who didn't have much mental strength like Soma does, occasionally took some rest while asking for advice from Serafina, who is much more experienced than them.

Time passed, and the three girls who had already taken their rest after relentlessly training for hours looked at Soma as if he was some kind of monk, for he was able to meditate that long and managed to grow rapidly in this short time he trained.

"Soma's mana circulation is just getting smoother. How is that possible?".

"Hina, what is he, actually some kind of monk?".

"Ahaha, Soma is indeed a mystery. But seeing him doing his best made me want to do my best, too".

Hina, who saw Soma, still didn't take his rest, clapping her cheeks lightly before beginning to train her mana manipulation once more.

Xiao Lian and Serafina, who were left behind, chuckle to themselves before doing the same thing, immersing themselves in training, as the four of them are immersed in their world, the pilot in front. One of the Serafina employees informed them that their destination would be reached in a minute.

{Attention please, within a minute, we will be arriving at the Ark West district. I repeat..}

"It seems we will arrive soon; okay, guys, buckle up!".

"Yes, Senior".

"Mm".

"...".

While the other two girls answered Serafina with vigorous replies, Soma continued to train; even after the plane slightly swayed by the landing, Soma kept his concentration full before Hina lightly patted his shoulder.

"Soma, we have arrived".

"Yeah, I'm aware".

"Goos, how long are you going to train? Let's go!".

Soma opened his eyes with an intense power that was slightly tamed, and his appearance seemed to have undergone a slight change. Hina didn't know why, but his appearance seemed sharper and more handsome without any single blemish in his appearance.

"Hina?".

"Eh?! no-nothin. Let's go!".

"Okay".

The other two girls who caught Hina's strange behavior could only nod from the side as they understood her feelings very well. Soma had indeed had a thing for his face but the current him was leaking out something like a pheromone that made them worried that he would attract every girl in sight.

"...Everyone lets go, my driver is waiting for us outside".

Serafina, who saw the black limousine parked outside, informed the other. Then, they simultaneously descend the plane.

"Welcome back, Mylady. I am sorry to hear your trip has become a tragedy."

"Yeah, that sucks. How was the thing at home, Alan?".

"There is none; you can put your trust in us more."

"Okay, I'll do that".

"Then, please enter inside, and the other too".

Alan opened up the passenger doors that let Serafina enter, followed by the girls and Soma, the last, who exchanged small greetings first to Alan. Before Alan closed the door, he presented one ring to Serafina, making her brows knitted in wonder.

"I am happy to inform you, Milady, that the second thing you have been searching for was acquired yesterday."

"Is that true?".

"...Certainly. Well, everyone, please relax and let me, Alan, guide you to the Academy".

With a gentle thud, Alan entered the front seat and started the car, which softly rode on the asphalt, onward to the Academy.

"Sera, what is that?".

"Fufu, it was".

The ring on her hand shone in golden light, and before everyone's eyes appeared a single monocle lens with a platinum frame reflecting the ray of the sun that entered the room.

Looking at the structure of the item, Soma, Hina, and Xiao Lian could guess what it was.

"Is that an Appraisal item?".

"Soma is right. It's great having one".

"...Yeah, it's pretty convenient. I wish I had one".

"Silver hair, you don't have one?".

"... Yes".

After being told by their Junior, Soma noticed that the grin plastered on Serafina's face didn't disappear; it only got bigger the more they talked. He began to speculate a few things, as one of them was.

"No way is that?".

"Oh, you catch it fast, as expected from Soma".

"As expected? Heh, well, let's hear what kind of grade the item had?".

"Fufu, listen and don't get too shocked, okay. This item has a Legend grade".

"That's, Amazing."

Hina and Xiao Lian, who heard the item grade, turned stoned as they, with rigid movement, flapped their mouth.

"Le-legend, t-that item is legend-grade? Woah, that certainly incredible".

"Mmmm, Incredible".

Xiao Lian furiously nodded her head, for it was the first time she saw an appraisal item with Legend Grade. Soma summoned his equipment in his hands and presented it to Serafina.

"Please, Sera, I am dying to know what my Equipment has in stock".

"Let me".

Serafina took hold of the purple gauntlets in her hand and placed the monocle lense in front of her right eye, and a translucent window appeared, informing the weapon details.
