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.

Jason’s Private Training Villa
"This place is really far from the city. Are you sure that you can go back in time when you have a meeting?" Tommy asked curiously.
Jason nodded his head. "I can use a helicopter."
Tommy: "…" what a rich man.
Without her glasses, Kanae saw things very differently from usual. Her dark irises watched the trees outside carefully. Even if she could not see clearly, her movement wasn't any different from the usual.
Tommy waved his hand in front of Kanae. "Sometimes, I wonder if you truly need the glasses when you still can react to the surroundings so well."
"You should learn to rely on your other senses," Kanae smiled slightly.
"I'm not that good and you're clearly avoiding my question."
Kanae ignored Tommy and leaned back on her seat. They rode for another hour before they arrived at the secluded villa. Looking back at the winding roads they passed through, Kanae wondered if they could reach this place if they didn't have Jason.
