Transmigrate inside a Web Novel as a Side Character.

Both Lee and Carter were baffled by Soma's statement. They exchanged a brief glance before Carter himself lifted the corner of his lips; he stored back the gauntlet he took and spoke.

"Alright, then I won't use it either. Is that good for you?".

Instead of replying, Soma shrugged his shoulders and prepared his stance. Carter also distanced himself a bit, then prepared his stance.

Carter lifted his fists on the level of his chin while his feet were aligned diagonally, his right foot forward and his left back, while doing some little movement.

Lee saw both contestants had already stayed in their positions, so he raised his hand high without further ado and swung it downward.

"Start!".

The entire stadium was shrouded with silence as they would see another torture match because of the mismatching opponents. However, all these people haven't realized how strong Soma is. Despite the silence that hung from the outsider spectators, the Academy's students on their seats gulped their saliva as they were curious about what would happen in this match.

The silence in the stadium lasted for a dozen seconds until it broke off as Soma lunged forward. Carter responded by tensing the muscles around his body.

Carter's eyes knit, surprised seeing Soma's speed, but it didn't mean he couldn't follow it. He locked his gaze toward Soma, clenching his fists.

After all of the training and dungeon diving he committed in the past years, Carter invested most of his stats toward his strength and agility to maximize his power output and speed in fighting the enemy.

He himself has no particularly powerful skill. Carter has only one physical enhancement and no aptitude for elemental magic.

However, that doesn't mean he was oppressed by circumstances. In fact, he was grateful for that because he could focus solely on cultivating his path.

Soma, who arrived at Carter's front, delivered his straight punch, which Carter bent his torso back to dodge, but Soma didn't finish with the attack when Soma tried to raise his leg to kick Carter's pivot point.

Carter ducked forward, thrusting his right fist upward, and climbed up toward Soma's lower Jaw, which startled him. The punch packs much more firmness and power; it was impossible for Soma to deflect its trajectory, so he side-stepped to the left.

Soma, who tried to counter, saw Carter rotate his hips and throw a left hook at his Jaw. He tilted his head back, and with his swift movement, Carter retracted his fists and began relentlessly pursuing Soma.

For each punch Carter threw, the air trembled, and the force contained within that punch was enough to destroy a massive boulder, let alone a human skull. Even the spectators who didn't truly understand martial arts deeply felt their entire body numbed looking at it.

After watching the scene they had envisioned earlier, the spectators sighed, and some even felt pity for Soma, who couldn't do anything but dodge the terrifying punch from Carter.

However, despite being overwhelmed by the attack, Soma himself still maintained his calm, which gradually stirred Carter's heart. Slowly but surely, in his eyes, Carter could see Soma's pupils that followed his movement flawlessly, and within the more time they spent in this fight, it was all too late.

When Carter decided to throw another right hook, Soma squinted his eyes and closed the distance between them while delivering a punch toward Carter's right ribs.

"Guf!".

A sudden sharp, explosive blow knocked away the breath in his lungs from his right side; it left a throbbing agony that lingered with each breath Carter took. His right side and lungs were on fire, and he started to gasp for breath.

He leapt back to gain a distance between them, and his face contorted in pain as he landed. His right ribs felt paralyzed by the pain; it kept sending stinging pain to his nervous system.

"This is crazy! Even with the protective item, I still receive this much damage!" Carter muttered.

Sweat began to trickle down his temple; it stung his eyes, and when he turned to look at Soma's place, he was gone, and a sudden premonition made all the hair around his body stand on alert; immediately, he lifted his forearms to guard his face.

"Gahak!".

However, another attack came from Soma's kick from behind, destroying Carter's other ribs. His body swayed, screaming in pain. Both ribs were broken, bone cracked, and his flesh torn; the agony travelled along his veins, piercing his brain system, sending a rush of adrenaline to ease the pain.

Soma circled around and arrived in front of Carter in an instant, and when Carter was still agonizing. He mercilessly threw another straight punch that hit Carter's solar plexus.

His punch was so powerful that it produced a loud boom. Then, a shockwave emerged from Carter's back, turning his eyes white. Slowly, Soma stepped back, and Carter's tall body slightly dropped to the ground, unmoving.

"The match is over!".

{The winner in this match is Soma from the first-year division!}

A loud cheer came from the spectator's seat, which was filled with many students from Class A who knew Soma's capabilities the best, as he was the one who brought hope to the entire class.

From here onward, the students from other classes and the seniors start to reluctantly accept Soma's strength, which is completely out of the norm within the standard.

Their heads began to get filled with many speculations, such as Soma was taking drugs by the people who loathed him, and some of them felt awe and couldn't imagine what kind of hardships or skill from a boy at that age could have that much power inside.

Some officials began to arrive at the arena and check Carter's condition, which seemed unconscious. Soma, who had no other business in the arena, bowed toward his opponent and turned his back around.

Gradually, the entire atmosphere inside the stadium shifted; it turned lively in an instant as they saw Soma walk away from the arena calmly. They began to praise and congratulate him for winning against the third year.

"That was easy?".

On the other side of the arena where, Serafina, still holding the can of chips in her hand, spoke.

"Mm".

Xiao Lian, who watched the match with a languid expression, expressed her agreement.

"He is truly…".

Meanwhile, Hina, who watched the match in deep focus, breathed a sigh, leaning her back toward the seat. At first, she thought that Soma partially matched his opponent's strength.

However, later, she knows that Soma was just trying to absorb the other technique, and he is probably currently mulling it over, trying to implement it into his fighting style.

Internally, she felt a bit conflicted and sad because Soma kept getting stronger every day. She was happy that Soma was getting stronger, but at the same time, a sense of loss and urgency creeped out of her heart, clouding her mind.

Those feelings began to cloud not only Hina but also the other two girls who were close to him. Xiao Lian and Serafina also received the impact. Simultaneously they mutter

"I need to work harder than this!".

Hina leaned her head back with closed eyes.

"I will catch up to you!".

Xiao Lian's eyes were filled with determination.

"I should get more serious in our development!".

Serafina turned her attention toward the girls and began to form a plan for her and them.
