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.

Back to School
Kanae noticed the three arrows flying towards her with bewilderment. Her hand instinctively moved and parried the arrows. At this time, she no longer thought about how to evade as her hand already moved to parry them. One of the arrows was parried from below while the other two were parried when she flicked her wrist above.
After that, her attention returned to Master Rudy, but she noticed that he already threw his blade to someone behind him. His eyes were filled with rage as he looked towards his men.
"Don't you ever dare interrupt my fight," he said menacingly.
The man who shot the arrows lowered his head, trembling, while the other men nodded their heads timidly. They knew that this man was just worried that their master would lose, but doing this would only make their boss angry. After all, Master Rudy was someone who valued strong people greatly.
"I'm fine, Master Rudy," Kanae stood calmly.
