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.

Dubious Scene
Bang!
At that moment, Kevin kicked the man's arm. This affected the gun's aim, and its bullet hit the wall next to Kanae. Even though Kanae could see the bullet coming, she didn't evade because she knew that it wouldn't hit her. Her hands continued to search for the gun.
It didn't take long before her fingers touched something cold.
It was the gun in the man's pocket. Pulling it out, she aimed at the man in the very back. Even though Kevin was in front of her fighting the others, Kanae had the confidence that she would be able to shoot that man. Besides, just her uninjured right arm was enough to shoot him.
Bang!
Flying past the other men, the bullet hit the last man's head directly, killing him instantly. At the same time, Kevin finished dealing blows to the other men, sending them all unconscious.
