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.

The Decision and Change
Nolen School C, Class 2-A
Kanae was listening to the conversation that Tommy and Neo had. When she heard that Tommy accepted the offer, she was quite surprised internally. After all, seeing the person he fancied got close with someone else would hurt him.
Kanae closed her eyes for a moment, recalling the time when she accepted the mission. She had to stay at the back while Alice stayed by Kevin's side, staying close to him. There were even dark thoughts emerged inside her mind when she first saw that.
'I really shouldn't have thought too much.'
"Kanae, are you alright?" Alice peered to Kanae's face worriedly. She saw that Kanae was absentminded, so she decided to look at her.
"Ah, I'm fine," Kanae snapped back to reality and put a smile on her face. She couldn't possibly say that she was thinking about Alice, right? "I'm just thinking about the ruckus that happens."
