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

I Accept Defeat

And Maruti, of all people? 

Even Lilith, watching from the side, was stunned.

Esdeath was also quite shocked. 

"She's friends with Kaelith? Since when?" she thought in confusion. Even she had no idea about it. 

But Maruti didn't show any emotions on her face. She was focused—ready for her last attack. 

She knew Kaelith had incredible healing abilities. If she gave her too much time, Kaelith would fully recover. 

So— 

She had to finish this now! 

Maruti charged forward. 

Kaelith didn't move. She just stood there, waiting to take the final attack head-on. 

Maruti clenched her fist tightly. 

At once, her arms started glowing like burning lava. The heat around her intensified, and the air wavered as if she was standing inside a furnace. 

She closed the distance between them. 

Then— 

She threw her punch straight at Kaelith's abdomen. 

But— 

The moment Maruti's fist slightly touched Kaelith's skin— 

Something shocking happened! 

All the fiery energy that had been glowing around Maruti's arm suddenly gathered into one point. 

It compressed—shrinking into a small, dense, marble-like shape—right between Maruti's fist and Kaelith's abdomen. 

Then— 

BOOM! 

The fiery marble exploded like a bomb! 

A massive beam of fire erupted, completely engulfing Kaelith. The sheer force of the blast even shook the entire arena, leaving scorch marks on the ground. 

Maruti herself was thrown backward by the impact—flying dozens of steps before she barely managed to stop. 

The audience went silent for a moment—then gasps and murmurs filled the air. 

"Such power… Is this even a fight between first-years?!" 

Many second-year students were in shock. 

"This year's students are real prodigies!" others gasped in amazement. 

But Maruti said nothing. 

She hadn't even thought of a name for this move. 

She had just created it a few minutes ago—on the spot—after seeing Violet's Red and Blue Sphere. 

She had simply mimicked the concept and made it her own. 

Creating a killer move in just a few minutes? 

That was true talent. 

But— 

The aftermath of the attack was devastating. 

Kaelith coughed up blood, her legs trembling slightly. 

A deep injury had formed on her abdomen, and burn marks covered her skin. 

She looked weak, as if she might collapse at any moment. 

But then— 

Something terrifying happened.
