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.

Clash of Groups: The Beginning
Lima School, 1st of August, 2 years ago
Kanae stood in front of the school with complicated feelings. This was not the first time she came here, but the atmosphere today was very different from the one in the past. In addition, from her position, she couldn't see any damage to the building. Everything seemed normal.
"It's amazing, isn't it?" Jason tapped her shoulder from behind. "For ordinary people, this place is no different from usual, but for those who know, this is nothing but a mirage."
"Their technology is that advanced?"
"Not really advanced, but they have people that specialize in creating a defensive barrier using their talent," Jason shook his head. "With one person alone, it's extremely easy to cover up things that they do behind this barrier."
"They're truly not simple," Kanae nodded.
