Reincarnation as the best friend to a harem protagonist

Chapter 1

I can feel the heat around me from the battle. Rocks softly melting around the ground near me. I take my hand off my wound to see my hand now stained in crimson red.

That's a lot more blood than I'm ok with leaving my body. My attention is taken from seeing a giant lightning bolt off in the distance fight the big bad. The one who used it is the protagonist of this story.

My eyes quickly go back to the giant dragon in front of me. A black window appears in front of me that says { Slay the Dragon } Cool.

Three Years Earlier

The cold fear grips my mind once more as those dark words haunt me. His deep red eyes stare at me with this look that it has gained something vile. "Tu es aliquid alienum."

I wake up to the sun on my face and a pounding at my door. Shit, it's the landlord. It seems I don't get a moment to just take a breath nowadays. I rush to the door and quickly unlock my door.

Once the door opens, I see the fiery ginger hair of my landlord Angus Dragonbane. He is a dwarf who has been my landlord for the last two years. The angry look on his face tells me everything.

"How many times must I tell you this?! Tell that damn school of yours to pay your rent on the first Tuesday, not the first Thursday! Also, keep it down at night. I know you're a night owl, but if you need to practice those sword moves, do it somewhere else or learn a simple silence spell."

I give him a strained smile and say " I understand, sir. I'll stop by the head office to tell them about it." He points his finger at me and yells "Don't forget it, Eduard! You have a habit of forgetting these things." Yeah, I kinda do.

"Ok. Well, stay safe if you stay out late. Those missing person cases make me worry." My smile turns soft at those words. I say softly "I will, Mr. Bane. Hey, I was thinking of stopping by the Rhodes Store. Do you need anything there?"

He shakes his head and says "No I'm good. Just stay safe coming home, Eduard." I nod and close my door. Well, it's time to get ready. A breath in and out. { Get to school early } Fuck.

An Hour Later

The giant bell rings out as it signals the start of class for everyone in the Tyson Adventuring Academy. Anyone not already in class rushes to their seats. I have to follow the rule of a side character so I can only be late and make a scene if the protagonist asks me. Another one is if I'm given a prompt to do something.

Oh, right, I'm Eduard or simply Ed. If you're looking for the protagonist, go to the seat next to me. As I was narrating to keep some sanity the door to our teachers' office opened to reveal them. They are a dragonkin. A race that resembles more dragon than man but has a man-like body. If a dragon without wings were standing up like a man and similar in size to one then you get the dragonkin. The one standing before me has red scales so his ancestry is from the fire clan.

He clears his throat as I see a few late people rush to their seats and our teacher says with a booming voice "Thank you for being here today. Now since today is the first day of the semester I shall go over the review of what is expected in my class. I Professor Klein expect you all to hold to the standard I ask of you today. This is not a place for you all to slack off. You have made it to this grand Academy to become an adventurer or something that needs similar skills."

Some nods follow and he turns the blackboard behind him. He writes down Quest and Grand Adventures 101. As he writes a few bullet points my ears pick up some of my classmates whispering to each other. They so desperately are trying to be quiet but it seems the whole class can hear them.
