Reborn As An Extra : I'm gonna mess up everything

Esdeath stretched out her arms, feeling the newfound strength pulsing through her body. "Hmm... I guess this should be enough for now. I'll leave the remaining SP for later," she mused, a satisfied smile curling on her lips. Today had been productive. The thought of how much stronger she had become filled her with a sense of excitement. She couldn't wait to see how much more she could push herself, but for now, it was time to relax and let everything settle.

However, before Esdeath could even lie down, the door to the dorm swung open with a soft creak. Her moment of peace was interrupted as Luna, her roommate, finally entered the room. Luna hadn't shown up the night before, too terrified after their first encounter with Esdeath. But now that Luna realized Esdeath was just a human like herself, the embarrassment of her overreaction weighed heavily on her.

Luna slipped inside, her gaze glued to the floor, clearly trying to avoid eye contact. Her steps were hesitant, almost as if she was walking on eggshells. As she approached her bed, the room filled with an awkward silence.

Esdeath raised an eyebrow, watching Luna's shy behavior. Luna stopped for a moment, then, forcing a smile onto her face, she awkwardly broke the silence. "Are you having a good day?" Luna asked, pretending like the fear from the previous night had never existed. "Just play it cool, Luna… play it cool..." she mentally scolded herself, trying to act casual.

Instead of being irritated by the interruption or Luna's attempt to act normal, Esdeath returned the smile, calm and collected. "Of course," she replied, her voice soft but steady.

Luna gave a nervous nod, letting out a forced chuckle. "Haha..." The air between them grew thick with awkwardness, and neither knew what to say next. Luna fidgeted with her fingers, her eyes wandering the room until they landed on a stack of books beside Esdeath. Curious, Luna's eyes lingered on the titles.

Luna grabbed all of the magic books from Esdeath's desk and started reading the titles aloud, her brow furrowing with confusion. "Strength Boost Magic? Photo-Audio Magic? Change Hair Color? And... Silence Magic?" She blinked, clearly puzzled by the strange mix of spells.

"Are you... preparing for the upcoming competition or something?" Luna asked, trying to keep a straight face. "But other than Strength Boost Magic, none of these are going to help you, right? I mean, what are you gonna do? Silence your enemies or... change their hair color?" She couldn't help it. The thought of someone winning a fight by magically giving their opponent a new hairstyle made her burst into laughter. "Pfft... Seriously? Change their hair color?"

Luna's mind wandered, her imagination running wild. "Maybe she's planning to change her own hair color with magic. Poor thing. If I had black hair like her, I might have done the same. But what is she planning to do to her enemies? Give them a makeover? Talk about useless magic!" She stifled another giggle, completely missing the growing tension in the room.

When Luna finally glanced at Esdeath, she noticed the serious expression on her roommate's face. Esdeath's eyes were narrowed, her lips pressed into a thin line. Clearly, Luna's teasing hadn't been well-received.

Luna's heart skipped a beat, realizing she might have overstepped. Without another word, she quickly shuffled toward her bed, pulling the blanket over herself as fast as possible. "Goodnight!" she blurted out, pretending to sleep, hoping Esdeath wouldn't hold a grudge. It was a scene straight out of a comedy sketch, and if someone had been watching, they'd probably burst out laughing at how awkward it was.

Esdeath, however, didn't say a word. She just stared at Luna, shook her head slightly, and climbed into her own bed. "Childish," she muttered under her breath. Soon enough, she drifted off to sleep, and before she knew it, morning had already arrived.
