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.

Nolen School C
"Tommy, why are you coming to school only to sleep?" Misae and Alice heard that this boy had returned, so they wanted to check on him. Upon seeing the poor boy lying on the bed, they wondered what he had suffered until he was this tired.
Tommy changed his position slightly. His body ached from the numerous paint bullets that Shiro gave him. Thankfully, Jason had a meeting today or he wouldn't be able to return back to civilization.
"You wouldn't want to know," Tommy sighed.
Alice looked towards Tommy with concern. "Do you need a doctor? The infirmary doctor changed for two weeks, but I heard that the replacement is also good enough."
"There's no need," Tommy wouldn't be able to explain himself if that doctor saw numerous red marks on his body. It was better if he kept them all a secret.
"Eh? The doctor changed?" Misae asked in surprise.
"Yes, I hear that the previous doctor wants to visit his family, so there's a new doctor today."
