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.

Skipping Class
'Master Rudy is merciless,' Kanae felt her body ache all over when she went to school the next day. Master Rudy was annoyed that she often had to go places and skipped training. Because of that, he increased the intensity of the training by severalfold.
Although she acted like nothing was wrong in front of Laura, she decided to skip class. After walking Laura to the classroom, she headed to the infirmary.
"Hello, Miss Kanae, are you sick?" Shiro asked gently as usual. This was the front that he put up as the infirmary doctor, which was, in Tommy's opinion, his ploy to get high school girls to confess to him.
Kanae smiled wryly. "I'm just too tired. Let me borrow the bed."
Shiro nodded. "Do you need me to give you a checkup?"
"I guess so."
