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.

This is Not Over!
After Alan stepped forward, the tide was completely turned to Jason's favor. Another stain was added to Ivan's name, making his reputation plummeted further. Ivan tried to divert the discussion back to Jason, but it turned to attack him from all directions.
Even without the judges telling him that he was the one who lost, the result was already apparent.
The court verdict was Jason was not wrong and it was Ivan who had to pay the penalty fee for falsely accusing the young man.
"The debate is over. Judges will be leaving the room."
The audiences stood up. Ivan was glaring towards Jason as if he wanted to bear a hole there. If only looks can kill, Jason would have died a few times over the course of the court.
'This is not over,' Ivan mouthed out.
Jason arched his eyebrows. He was not afraid of the threat that Ivan gave him. Whatever Ivan wanted to do, he would be prepared to welcome it.
'You can come at me anytime.'
