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: Heading to the Main Building
Kanae rested again when Tommy woke up and took over guarding. After several more hours, everyone woke up and prepared themselves. No one knew how many hours have already passed as the sky was still as bright as ever in this place. Only Shiro's voice told them the passing of time outside this place as they ate the food in the cans.
"It's nearly 10 AM here," Shiro answered with a yawn. "You all are truly big sleepers."
"We're taking turns to sleep, Shin. How's the situation outside?" Jason asked.
"Nothing has changed. The barrier is still blocking people from seeing the real condition of the school, so there's no hint that the vial has been taken yet."
Jason frowned. His gaze landed on the tall building from the window not far from him. It was clear to see that some windows were already broken, but the building itself was still standing straight.
"Those powerful groups are taking a long time."
