Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

With a heavy heart and distressed expression, Xiao Rui sat beside the bed where Xiao Lian' was lying, covered by a white sheet. Her Assistant stood behind the door, while Hina was sitting across from her.

The room was silent and the only sound that was present was the ticking time that informed them about the present.

She observed her niece, her breathing was soft and steady, and she was sleeping soundly. Within her sight, Xiao Rui could see Hina was calmly closing her eyes, deeply focused on her training.

She could feel the mana circulating inside her body and it left her in awe. Xiao Rui felt hesitant to talk with Hina, but Hina seemed to realize the gaze and she opened her mouth.

"Is there something?".

"Mm, how long have you known XIao Lian?".

Caught off guard with the question, Hina stopped her training, fixed her posture, and directed her gaze at Xiao Rui.

Xiao Rui was flabbergasted seeing the clear eyes, which seemed to have much more experience than her in life. However, she shook the idea and opened her ears to listen to her niece's story in the academy from her friend.

"Let's see, we first met when we were still undergoing an academy entrance exam".

"Can you please elaborate. You know with her family situation and my busy schedule I didn't have many chances to know her live in the academy and Xiao Lian herself is not that talkative".

Simultaneously, both Hina and Xiao Rui glanced at the sleeping princess, and then Hina chuckled.

"Well at that time…".

Hina began to tell her the story about them how they met and how they always stayed together, forming the current group.

Xiao Rui listened carefully but sometimes, she glared at her niece for doing some rude behavior by giving someone else, whom she first met by a weird nickname.

From there, the story escalates, trapped inside Gate that higher being created.

"Dragon? Is that true?".

Like Xiao Lian had said, the Xiao family seemed to have an attachment to the word Dragon. Not only Xiao Rui but also her assistant ears perked and she listened to the story deeply.

"Yeah, but currently Soma is carrying it as our leader".

"I see. Then, what else?".

"Hmm, Right, we used to train together and from what Xiao Lian told me, she is stunned because someone other than her was recognized by the legendary weapon she possessed".

"Someone? You mean?".

"Yes, it was Soma. He used the spear to kill the demon that infiltrated the school".

"Demon!?".

All of Xiao Rui's expressions disappeared from her face as if she was a doll. From that moment on, the dark fog that clouded her mind until now breached, as she concluded her thoughts regarding the disappearance of her nephew a few years ago.

"Miss, are you okay?".

"...Ah, Yeah, I am okay, please continue your story!".

"Okay".

Hina starts to resume the story as the interior of the infirmary is filled with tension upon hearing the adventure of her niece and nephew, venturing into a dungeon, defeating a demon in the academy, going to Europe facing a crisis, etc.

Xiao Rui, sparkling eyes kept asking for more stories that made Hina feel uncomfortable. But, eventually, Hina began to tell Xiao Rui not only story aboit Xiao Lian but a story about her idiotic past when she met with her nephew, Soma.

******

Lucy walked in front her face pale, and stiff, but as someone who held a position in the academy, she kept her head held high to escort her guest.

"We arrived!".

Secretly, she exhaled a deep breath, she held. In front of her stood a luxurious twin door made from dark brown wood, with simple lining, and above it hung a plate made from silver that said. "Headmaster office".

She knocked on the door trice and opened her mouth even though stammered.

"Ex-excuse me, headmaster, Roland!".

"Come in!". Your journey continues on m v|l-e'm,p y r

A stern and dignified voice came from behind the door, Lucy, inhaled and slowly pushed the door inside and she was being welcomed by Roland's wife Viana, smiling.

"Good work Lucy, now you can back or would you come into the discussion?".

"Eh? No, I will take my leave here, then pardon me".

Like she had been chased by a ghost, Lucy with a pale face and sweat drenched her temple, dashed away from the place before she gave Soma one last glare.

"...Roland Next time, make sure you order someone who has a braveheart, She is troubled because of you".

"Well, thank you, Jiang Ling, for your consideration. Both of you have a seat".

Roland took a seat on the three seater Sofa that faced each other and in between a rectangle wooden table stood alone.

"Soma, you are here!".

Viana placed her palm on Soma's shoulder and pushed him toward the seat alone where it suddenly appeared from thin air, facing the desk where many piled up documents, a place for Roland to do his job.

"Eh, Okay!".

The room itself does not have much furniture, from the right there are four shelves with books, grimoires, trophies, awards, and all of the kinds of achievements the Academy had achieved.

On the right there is a long cabinet and one, he couldn't figure out what was inside it, so he ignored it.

Now, he is sitting between the two adult people who seem to have some talking to do. "I also need to prepare something". Soma muttered in his breath.

[Extra Skill Puppeteer activated]

Viana brought everyone who sat in the room a cup of steaming black tea, a sweet and mild fragrance entered Soma's nose which loosened the tension in his body. Meanwhile, tension started to slowly build up in the room.

After finishing her task, Viana returned to her place behind Roland standing up with a graceful posture. It is also the same for Jiang Ling's assistant, who keeps glaring at Soma with his slit and sharp eyes.

"Well, here we are, please help yourself!".

The headmaster opened the discussion with a bit of a friendly tone, so as to not put pressure on both parties.

"Ahaha, well, lets cut to the case shall we. I heard that my son had been neutralized and caused trouble. I want to know if he is safe?".

However, Jiang Ling didn't take the bait and directly pushed through the way creating a heavy mood that enveloped the room.

Roland's face is cramped as he fixes his posture and gazes toward Jiang Ling with his stern face.

"Vice-headmaster, please".

In this case, the two of them decide to act as the public sees them as a headmaster and vice. Viana took out a tablet from her storage and operated several apps before showing the live figure of Jiang Wei's morphed body from a lens.

Huge bulky body, red skin, bat wings, and horns that protruded from his skull, indicating that his demonization had not been undone ever since yesterday.

Jiang Ling snatched the tablet and saw the picture, his face twitched but he soon held back and inhaled deeply to regain his calm. His assistant from behind caught a glimpse of Jiang Wei's figure and his eyes were contorted in anger.

The anger flared up inside his heart, he didn't know where he would lash it to, is it at the academy for treating his young master like some kind of heinous criminal, or to his young master for involving himself in that kind of thing?

"Let me see him!".

Jiang Ling's sudden words brought everyone's attention in the room toward him. Roland and his wife hesitated for a bit, but when seeing the fierce glint inside the father's eyes.

"Alright".

Roland gives in and instructs his wife to show them the way. She nodded reluctantly and with a flick from her fingers, a magic circle began to appear on the right where the selves stood.

A clicking sound resounded and the selves slid to the sides revealing a wall that gradually turned transparent, showing a rectangular dark place with a stairway that led downward.

"What do you waiting for, hurry up and ledd us there!".

Despite knowing he is being disadvantageous in this place, Jiang Ling's attitude still retains its toughness. Viana began to walk in front, followed by Roland, Soma, and Jiang families.

Soma stepped foot inside, it was different from his thought, the place was clean without any speck of dust flying around, clogging his nose.

After everyone entered the secret passage, the selves began to creak and close themselves, obscuring everyone's vision, except Soma. Without knowing why, his eyes suddenly flashed red and he could see in the dark, but he kept it a secret.

Then light returned to the place, chasing away the darkness that swallowed everything inside, as a ball of light floated above Viana's right palm.

"Let's go, everyone, be careful with your step!".

Everyone began to descend, following Viana's steps. Inside the limited space where the wall width is pretty much narrow and could only fit two grown men. Only the ceiling length was gradually taller every time they went deeper.

Each step they took. The sound bounced through the wall, echoing in their ears, and raising the wariness in their minds.

After walking around in circles that seemed stretched infinitely, they finally reached the underground. A dungeon where the school stands on the surface. The place for some in case situations.

Soma, who saw the place, began to recall the scene where Mark guy who accidentally found this place, captured Hina and used it to lure Leon here.

However, Mark is gone, his existence is already deleted from the scenario before he can take action because of Soma's action.

Every cell on each side of the walls is clean without any dust and blemish from horrific torture. Why is it clear? Because this place hasn't been used ever since it was built, except for maintenance.

Viana kept walking forward until they stood in front of a huge cell compared to the others, and behind the cold steel bars, Jiang Wei sat with his mind long gone, staring through an empty space, with his red eyes.

"My Son!".
