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.

Clash between Hackers
Kanae sparred with Tommy while they were waiting for Jason to finish the task. She was limiting her movement to allow Tommy attack in more ways. However, the discrepancy was quite clear as Tommy couldn't find loopholes in Kanae's movement at all.
"Captain, can't you wear your limiter or weights or something like that?" Tommy asked with tears in the corners of his eyes. He would lose if this continued.
Kanae looked towards Tommy weirdly. "I'm always wearing them."
"What? Are you telling me that you wore them in the mission?"
"Yes?"
Towards the startled Tommy, Kanae felt rather confused. She rolled up her sleeves which showed the bracelet limiter that she wore. Although she didn't wear the vest because it would hinder her movement, her feet and arms still had them.
Tommy looked towards the bracelet with mouth opened wide. His captain finished her task while wearing those limiters. Did it mean she could move even faster if she didn't wear them? Just how fast could she move?
