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.

Fight on Black Street
Jason dropped off Kanae and Tommy on the Black Street where there were no security cameras around. He looked towards the two kids in front of him.
"You should be careful. The other groups are starting to be active again, and you're one of the easiest targets, Tom."
Tommy scoffed. "I'm not the same as before after the training."
"Just stay on the outside and middle area," Kanae patted Tommy's shoulder. "See you at school later."
Tommy watched as Kanae disappeared into the darkness. In the deepest part of the Black Street, sunlight rarely appeared there. It made the place seem to be in eternal night.
"Since I'm already back here, I better enjoy my time for now."
Kanae returned back home to drop off her belongings. After that, she ran deeper and deeper into the darkness. The atmosphere became even tenser as the people around her gave her unfriendly looks. However, they could sense faintly that she was strong, so no one tried to get closer to her.
