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.

Clashing Head-On
Jeff shook his head and raised the device to his mouth with a large smirk on his face. "Fight him to death."
Kanae's face changed as her body moved to attack Kevin. The man quickly raised his sword as the two of them clashed. Internally, Kanae was fighting with herself as she limited the strength that she exerted.
Even though it was the absolute order that she had to follow, she would never use her skill to attack Kevin. Her movement became slightly sloppier to her usual self, but those who didn't know her wouldn't be able to recognize this slight difference.
'Her strength….'
Kevin sensed that the power that Kanae exerted was not as much as when she blocked his full power attack. He instantly understood that Kanae could fight back against the controller to some degree. All he had to do right now was hold back his strength to have this 'spar' with her for the longest time.
