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.

Cries
Kevin finished making calls to several more people when he heard the ruckus in the courtyard. He walked out and saw Lou standing there, partially out of breath.
"Where's Boss?" Lou asked immediately.
"He's inside," Patrick pointed to the room. "He's making a call to the people from underworld to ask for their help in the grand battle tomorrow."
"Oh," Lou heaved a sigh. He was worried that Kevin would do something as stupid as charging directly to Lima School. If it was only a small clan, there was no problem at all. However, Lima School was filled with experts all over. Charging inside was the same as asking for himself to be killed.
In the past, something similar happened to Patrick. Someone took his girlfriend and captured her. He was not entirely clear about what had happened, but he knew that Patrick charged to the place immediately when he heard that they took his girlfriend.
