Rebirth: Childhood friend of the heroine

'Wow...' Looking at that leg regenerating at such a demonic pace, Ceaser could only stand there in admiration and realisation.

Just a few moments after his rebirth he was on the verge of dying once again. His body was not listening to him, then there was this damn pain all over, and now, he has to face this humongous spider all of a sudden.

The spider screeched and raised its feet to crush Ceaser; however, before Ceaser could retaliate in any manner, something shot the spider with a violet beam and sent it staggering away.

Ceaser, with his brows raised, saw a woman levitating in the air with her eyes trained on the inhumane creature. There was no doubt that she was the one who assaulted the spider just now; however, what made Ceaser surprised wasn't her supernatural abilities or her ethereal beauty. Rather, his surprise stemmed from the fact that he knew this woman.

And not as a person, but as a character of one of those novels which he used to read a lot.

The fantasy ones.

'Now I understand, why that being asked me to prioritise my safety first...'

Looking at his reflection in the small puddle of water, Ceaser sighed.

He has turned into one of the named characters of this novel—the childhood friend of one of the heroines and someone who was destined to die today.

'Today, I, Alex, was supposed to die and become a source of character development for the Princess. But here I am...alive and well...'

Ceaser remembers this book well since he recently read the whole three volumes, as a new and the last volume came out. That's why, he didn't know what the ending of this book was. However, someone who has read three volumes, knows how this world works and what Ceaser has to do to survive here.

This was no modern-day world where guns and warships reigned supreme. Here, one's magical abilities were the true king. If you are strong, you can become the Ruler of the world and earn whatever you want.

Here, Ceaser can wish for bloodshed and a peaceful life, or both.

The Protagonist of this world wasn't unbearable like those isekai ones. He is smart, cunning, strong and wasn't dense.

This world offered the readers a good blend of romance and action. However, considering the dangers looming over the world, as a reader, Ceaser always felt that the Protagonist wasn't as prepared and this novel might have a bad ending.

And now, he was part of this world.

'Nice...' While he was thinking about his next course of action, the woman who fought the giant spider finally came down.

"Are you okay? Did it hurt you?"

Cea-uh-Alex looked at the violet-haired lady once again. The way she was portrayed in the book and the way she looked in person were very different.

Long dark violet hair that reached her hips. A pair of sharp eyes, which look threatening unless you look into them past her thin-framed glasses. She possesses a perfectly shaped body, just to his preference.

She is the teacher of the academy where Alex studies—Julie Vermillion.

"I can walk it seems," Alex responded as he moved his body a little to show her that he was fine.

Jullie looked at the boy in surprise. As the teacher, she naturally was aware of his capabilities, and for someone who comes last almost every time during physical assessment, Alex was showing an unnatural reaction to this whole incident.

However, just for precaution, Jullie said, "Still, it's best not to take any risk," She looked towards her left, and her eyes glowed for a moment.

From the depth of the forest, a black mare made her way in their direction. Her thick hooves made the ground tremble, and her size urged Alex to take a fighting stance, even though he could barely move himself.

Her obsidian-black fur shimmering faintly with a dark, ethereal glow. Massive and sleek, her feline body is both muscular and agile, moving with the silent precision of a predator born of the night.

"Good reflexes," Vermillion complimented, "However, you don't need to be wary of Cassandra. She is my familiar."

Alex...should have been aware of it. However, when he looked at that creature, he just moved reflexively and shielded Jullie behind him.

Jullie hopped on the horse before extending her arm toward him, "Come on,"

Alex didn't mind sitting before her, given he might fly away if he sat behind in his current condition.

With her help, Alex sat down in front of her and the demonic mare began to slowly head towards the castle.

Alex slowly rubbed the mane of the beast and asked the lady, "Does she only listen to you?"

Jullie was surprised to see Alex so relaxed about it as she asked, "Aren't you being too nonchalant, Alex? This incident surely isn't going to be overlooked."

Alex shrugged, "The ones who fear are the ones who are actually guilty. Do you find me fearful?"

Vermillion followed, "So you say, you didn't have any involvement in summoning the Soulless even though you are the only person I found on site."

"Ma'am, even if I tell you the truth, you won't believe me."

"Or maybe I would? Why don't you try telling your teacher what is the case?"

Alex raised his brows. This lady was portrayed so...wrongly in the book.

Vermillion Jullie was one of the named characters and a potential love interest. However, because of her stern personality she never showed any interest in the Protagonist, even though the latter clearly had a thing for the lady.

However, seeing her like this gave him the impression that she has a gentle personality and this woman can actually care for her students.

However, "Let's wait and hear it with others, Miss Jullie."

Jullie didn't say anything after that, since her eyes went towards the huge crowd gathered at the school gates. And the person standing at the front was the man she felt the most troublesome to deal with.

Jullie helped Alex to climb down her familiar and supported him as they made their way towards the school.

She was about to ask for the medical team, since now that she touched him she understood that he was far from being okay.

However, before she could have said anything, the troublesome man and the vice-principal of the academy, stapped forward and barked,

"Lock him up in the cell! I don't to endanger any of my students because of that evildoer!"
