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.

"Is it that hard to choose?" The Grand Elder spoke out again after a few seconds.
Laura raised her head and nodded solemnly. For her, it was out of the question to go by herself and spread bad news about someone. Although this could be considered as normal practice in the business world, she didn't really like the idea.
"If you have to choose, which one will you pick?"
"I still prefer the fair way of play, Grand Elder," Laura answered after some hesitation. She still believed that this was the best way to clear up this matter. However, she knew from the Grand Elder's tone that the correct answer was the other one.
"I see."
"Can you please enlighten me about why this is the wrong answer?" Laura looked back at The Grand Elder with a complicated expression.
