I'm an Extra, so What?
Chapter 74 - 74: Bang!

After the laps were finished—

All the students were either sprawled across the ground or sitting with slouched backs, their chests rising and falling as they sucked in breaths of air.

The sound of water bottles opening and gulps being taken echoed faintly across the training grounds.

Staff members had just finished handing out water, and now the atmosphere was filled with tired relief.

Luka wiped the sweat from his forehead and then his mouth, taking another deep drink.

"Cold water after a workout really hits different," he said with a satisfied sigh.

Charlotte gave a tired nod, pulling her bottle away from her lips.

"I must agree…" she said between breaths.

As Luka continued to drink, a strange chill crept up his spine.

He paused.

The unmistakable sensation of being watched—intensely—itched at the back of his neck.

His eyes slowly shifted, scanning his peers, and there he was.

Arthur.

The main character looked like he was on the verge of exploding.

His glare was so sharp it might as well have been a set of daggers.

Right next to him was Nike, trying to calm him down with hushed words and gentle gestures, but it clearly wasn't working.

Luka furrowed his brow.

'What the hell is wrong with this guy now?' he thought.

Noticing Luka had gone quiet and was staring off—

Charlotte tilted her head. "What are you looking at—"

She followed his line of sight, then paused when her eyes landed on a certain someone.

"Oh," she said, offering a dry, slightly forced smile.

"Well… at least he's not staring at me anymore." Charlotte gave a soft giggle, trying to lighten the mood.

Luka rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"That dude's like a fly. No matter how many times you shoo him away, he keeps buzzing around."

"Tell me about it…" Charlotte muttered, handing her water bottle off to her maid.

Luka exhaled, gaze still locked on the main character.

"Well, I'm not gonna sit around and be passive about it."

He passed his water bottle to the Second Princess and stood up, stretching slightly as he started walking forward.

He didn't want to wait for the main character to boil over and do something reckless.

The last thing Luka needed was for things to spiral into chaos.

A little away…

"Arthur, can't you just calm down?" Nike pleaded, grabbing onto his sleeve gently.

"…"

Arthur didn't even look at her.

His eyes were fixed on Luka, his jaw clenched so tight it was almost audible.

'That bastard is coming to me? This fucking…'

Then, in one swift movement, Arhur yanked his arm away—shoving his childhood friend aside with enough force to make her stumble slightly.

"Get off me! I'm going to deal with this, once and for all!" he growled.

Nike froze.

She stared at him, completely blindsided.

Her arm stung faintly from the shove, but it wasn't the pain that stunned her—it was the betrayal.

The boy who'd promised to protect her, to never hurt her, had just tossed her aside like she was in the way.

'This…' Nike thought, her eyes falling to the ground. Her chest tightened.

A deep, unfamiliar sadness welled up inside her, and she found that she couldn't even look at him anymore.

As Luka got closer, he heard the system's voice—

[A Heroine's relationship with the Main Character has been damaged]

[1000 Fate has been deducted from the Main Character]

[97,500 Fate remaining]

Luka's eyes slightly widened.

He'd seen everything—the shove, the stunned expression on Nike's face—and now he stood face to face with the main character himself.

"Arthur," Luka said, stopping a few steps away, "what's up? Why the hell have you been death glaring me this whole time?"

Arthur didn't reply.

No warning.

No words.

Instead, he activated a skill.

[Lesser Strength Boost]

In an instant, Arthur's fist rocketed forward.

Luka tried to dodge, but he was a second too late.

The punch slammed into his side—straight into his liver.

"Ghk—!" Luka gasped, biting down a curse as pain exploded through his ribs.

He coughed violently, staggering back a few steps, hand clutching his side.

[Ding! You took damage! HP: 16 / 18]

"What the fuck!? You son of a bitch!" Luka hissed.

He didn't have time to recover before another punch came flying at his face—faster than before.

But this time, Luka was ready.

He twisted his body, leaning back just enough for the fist to whistle past his nose.

With precision, he reached out, grabbed the main character's extended arm, and twisted, aiming to snap it at the elbow.

Arthur grunted.

[Lesser Defense]

Though pain flashed across his face, his bone held firm.

Instead, he roared, his eyes bloodshot. "Just die, you bastard!"

He lunged forward, hand stretching toward Luka's throat.

However…

Luka was already moving.

[Quicksilver Reflexes]

In a blur of motion, a decoy of himself shimmered into existence—

Arthur's hand passed right through it, eyes widening in shock.

Then—crack!

A sharp uppercut landed clean on Arthur's chin—

Luka's real body snapping upward from the decoy's shadow.

His knuckles connected hard, sending the head snapping back.

The decoy dispersed into glowing particles as Arthur stumbled, dazed.

Luka took a step forward.

"You've really lost your mind, haven't you?"

Arthur clutched his jaw, his chest heaving as he spat blood onto the dirt.

"Shut up! Shut the hell up!" he snarled.

"You forced my childhood friend to talk to you—just so you could lie to her!"

Luka sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose in exasperation.

"What are you even talking about? She's the one who came up to—"

"I told you to shut up!" Arthur roared.

The shouting echoed across the training field, and the scattered students who had been lounging moments before were now wide-eyed, watching everything unfold.

From the edge of the grounds, the teachers bolted over.

They shoved through the students, stepping between the two.

"Enough! Both of you!" one barked.

"What in the hell is going on here!?"

Luka raised a hand to speak. "Well—"

"I TOLD YOU TO SHUT UP!!" Arthur screamed, his voice raw with fury.

[Lesser Strength Boost]

He shoved a teacher aside with brutal force.

The teacher stumbled back several steps, caught completely off-guard.

Arthur then raised his fist again, ready to swing.

Then—

BANG!
