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 of Groups (Prelude): First Meeting with Master Rudy (2)
"Have I given you permission to go?"
The very next second, his large blade was already swinging towards their direction, ready to kill them.
"Watch out!"
Kanae immediately dashed to where the blade was heading. Her small arm already took out the small sword that she usually used. Using the sword, she blocked the blade before it could reach her friends.
'Heavy!'
The strength behind the single swing was more than enough to send her backwards. Crashing into the wall, her entire body hurt all over from the impact. Seeing how the wall caved in behind her, that swing of Master Rudy's should have broken numerous bones.
*cough* *cough*
Blood trickled down from her mouth as she slumped to the ground. It was very agonizing. Right now, she didn't know which part of her body was still intact anymore. Every cell in her body was screaming the word 'pain'.
