Become A Side Character In The World Of The Novel I Read

The next morning when I woke up with an unfamiliar ceiling. I checked around.

"What is this?"

Looking around where I woke up, I found my school uniform hanging.

"Hey! I kind of recognize that uniform."

After staring at the school uniform for a few seconds, I exclaimed.

"Impossible!!!"

The design of the uniform I saw was the same as the uniform of the academy in the novel 'I'll be a Hero and Save the World'. Although I had only read the novel two months ago, I quickly finished the novel and watched the anime. I will never forget that uniform design.

"I'm a transmigrant."

My head was dizzy and my stomach churned as if it was boiling.

************************************

4 days later.

It took me a while to understand all this. The first day I still hadn't accepted reality and thought I was just dreaming. However, after seeing things and myself never waking up from this long dream. I finally accepted this difficult reality, that I had transmigrated into the novel 'I will become a Hero and Save the World'.

"Damn it! Why do I have to be in this character's body?"

Holding my head, I stood in front of the mirror and looked at the body I had possessed.

A boy with a fairly handsome face, with slightly disheveled hair, and black hair.

"Yuji Takahashi."

That was the name of the character's body I possessed. I tried to remember the original setting. A side male character who often helps the protagonist and is rarely highlighted. He was an only son who was from a fairly wealthy family. However, both his parents died right before his eyes killed by monsters while they were going on vacation in their private car. Only Yuji survived the tragedy. All of his parents' assets were then passed down to Yuji. This made Yuji hate monsters. Even so Yuji managed to overcome his fear of monsters and dreamed of becoming a 'Hero'. His nature is like any other cheerful high school student.

The first role of Yuji Takahashi is as the protagonist's first friend. They share the same room and become close friends. The development of the relationship and interactions between the two is very interesting and funny to observe. Yuji has an important role even though he is only a side character. He often helps the protagonist when relationships with the heroine are in trouble.

Yuji and the protagonist are explained in volume 1, their power distance is not much different. However, over time the protagonist's power became much stronger and made the distance between Yuji and the protagonist even greater. In some parts of the volume it is also explained that Yuji feels happy with the increasing strength of the protagonist and on the other hand Yuji feels jealous of the speed of the protagonist's rapidly increasing strength.

Yuji never showed he was jealous of the protagonist because of their close relationship. Until finally in volume 7 the author gave a sign that Yuji would have an important role in that volume. But unfortunately, not an important role like character development like the others, but rather a villain who will fight the protagonist.

This happened because Yuji was affected by the temptation of the enemy to gain greater strength. Not to mention he also remembers his childhood trauma. And finally he was controlled by the enemy and killed many people. Likewise when he met the protagonist. The enemy put up a barrier so that the heroes could not help the protagonist. Yuji attacks the protagonist and his friends. Despite being outnumbered Yuji can fight fiercely against the protagonist and his colleagues. The battle looks even but Yuji who has been controlled gains enormous power overwhelming the protagonist and the others. At the moment of wanting to kill the protagonist, Yuji stopped swinging the weapon right at the protagonist's neck. At that moment Yuji managed to control himself for a moment and spoke. He let out everything he had bottled up and talked to everyone. Even so, the protagonist still forgave him. Yuji smiled and said 'Please stop me! I can't hold it in any longer.'. The protagonist hesitated, until he finally stabbed Yuji in the heart.

After that, the protagonist and his friends managed to defeat the villain who was controlling Yuji. Even so, Yuji had passed away while smiling as if all his burdens had been released. That was the moment when the protagonist regained his determination. The moment was so emotional that many readers wondered why the author killed off such a profound character. Many readers also liked Yuji's demise.

That's the conclusion of the setting of the character named Yuji Takahashi in this novel.

"That's really a dangerous setting."

In any case, this setting is quite dangerous. But it's also been a little harmless. I thought that when I possessed this body, I would move forcibly according to the plot of the novel, but it turns out that I can freely move without having to follow the storyline. Also usually in the novels I've heard from my friends, the person who possesses the body of a novel character will inherit the character's memories, but in my case the character's memories didn't appear in my head.

"The real problem is that I am Yuji Takahashi."

Crossing my arms, I stood staring into the large mirror. My face, which was already handsome in my previous world, became even more handsome now. Plus my tall and slender body with muscles filling my body.

If I want to avoid death, it's better not to enter the academy. With the inheritance received from his late parents he can live comfortably. And a handsome face he can find a woman and get married, creating a beautiful normal life. There is no need to suffer just to enter the academy, yet it would be a waste of money that the character has used to develop his body and strength and other preparations. Plus, there are many benefits that can be obtained at the academy.

"Saving the world? Who cares? It's better to leave everything to the protagonist. That is the reason why there is a protagonist in this world. Even without me to get involved, the protagonist will succeed in saving the world well, even if he will suffer in the end."

I'd better apply to the academy and make connections. There will also be many events and magical artifacts. I can collect magical artifacts to help me not get killed in battle. Also, I have to be careful not to get carried away with the storyline and ruin it. I must not let myself be tempted by the great power of an unknown person.

"Knock! Knock!"

The sound of a knock on the door was heard and a polite male voice appeared after the knock.

"Sir, I have brought what you requested."

It was time for me to carry out the plan I had made.
