Well, "He marched off to class like a soldier on a mission," is a metaphor. It just happens to be a simile too.

Here's the thing: all similes are metaphors, but not all metaphors are similes. Both are comparisons made between dissimilar things; a simile just does it using "like" or "as."

If you wish to keep it a metaphor but make it no longer a simile, remove the like and insert a comma: "He marched off to class, a soldier on a mission."

How do you rewrite the similie as a metaphor?

Just take out the "as ___ as". For example: He was as quick as lightning. (don't ever use that it is a huge cliche) to change this simile to a metaphor, take out "as ____ as" which is the "as quick as" part. The metaphor will therefore be: He was lightning. Metaphors tell you the exact things the person is related to.
