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.

Stealing the Limelight
"Amazing," Alice muttered under her breath as she saw the man fell to the floor. Her hand was gripping her father's clothes as she wanted to stay close with him in fear that she might get hurt.
Nico was also looking towards Kanae with a solemn look. That one attack already told him a lot of things. Even if he was the one who fought against Rei, he might not win against her. It was simply too fast and precise.
"She improved once again," the young man by Master Rudy's side grumbled. He thought that he could finally catch up to that girl, yet the fact proved otherwise. She just kept on staying further and further away from her.
Still, he felt that it was rather weird. Her speed has grown so much again even though her growth should have slowed down. It was only a week or two rest for Kanae, yet she kept on improving.
"There's no need to be so vexed. Martial art is not your focus too."
"I know, Master."
