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.

Time passed swiftly and soon the midterm passed. This time, Misae crammed for hours in her room just to catch up with Alice and Laura's studying pace. Kanae was still busy with her work, so the others decided not to bother her. Thankfully, the three of them managed to finish the exams with good scores.
"Your position is hanging by a thin thread, Kanae," Misae commented as she looked towards the scoreboard.
"Well, does it matter?" Kanae laughed.
Alice giggled. "I wonder what the two of you eat to get those positions."
They were looking at the results of the midterm. At the very top, two familiar names could be seen.
1. Kanae N.
2. Laura N.
Tommy shook his head as he looked towards his own score. For him, it was already good enough that he could still meet the passing grade. He barely studied at all because of the missions that he had to do lately.
