Under the Veil of Night
In the City of Crime, one law stands above them all: Only the strongest can live. Fighting is normal, extortion is common, and death is inevitable. Born into a wealthy family yet forced to live in poverty, Kanae Nali vowed to become strong enough to take back what rightfully belonged to her—even if it meant that she had to face the consequences and brave the dangers lurking in every corner. Yet on the outside, just like her mysterious peers, she was no different from the other high school students living their lives to the fullest. “Under the ray of light, my ability will only make me die faster. Under the veil of night, my ability allows me to survive longer.” ____ Story set in fictional city. Any similarities with real world's event is purely coincidence.

Aftermath
Many of the stores and public facilities didn't open for the next couple of days. The police were working hard to ensure the cleanup finished quickly, but they still had to take several days. There was too much to do, but the workers didn't receive additional payment, which led them to protest a lot and thus take up even more time.
On the other hand, the students enjoyed the vacation. They were glad that they didn't have to go to school and study. Staying at home and playing games was the best thing that could happen to them. Only a small minority said otherwise as they wanted to learn in school again.
All in all, they still enjoyed the 'vacation' that they got. After all, they could spend their time with their family or friends rather than fulfilling their duties as students.
