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 Real Reason

"Oro, can't you be calmer?" Kanae looked at Jason with a dark expression. Ever since she came to his ship, he was walking here and there restlessly. As he couldn't really help her in treating her wounds, she was giving herself first aid while he guarded the area.

"No, you're too reckless, Rei. Just a bit more and you might not be able to walk again forever," Jason replied in an annoyed tone.

Kanae smiled wryly. "I'm not that stupid. The location is far from my tendon. It won't affect my speed too much after it heals."

"Still, you're too reckless."

"You're worrying too much, Oro. You know that I have been living a life like this for nearly three years. Every day is a battle and we didn't know what the result will be," Kanae pulled the bandage calmly. Her hand was working speedily to cover up her wounds.
