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.

Head-Butting Trouble

The next day, Kanae woke up early as usual, and taking her bag and all, she quickly prepared herself to go to school. After skipping school for a long time, she knew that she might have missed a lot of lessons.

She was still a bit sleepy, but she was already used to waking up early in the morning, so it was not a problem.

"Hmm…? Why does the atmosphere seem tense?" Kanae's senses were more acute than ordinary people. Upon getting out from the residence, she could clearly sense the difference in atmosphere. It was as if there were people ready to fight until the death near her, and their number was not low.

Kanae looked around and muttered to herself, "Could it be that there is a battle near here? Why hadn't I heard the news about it?"

It was dangerous to stop in place, so Kanae walked in a quick stride towards the school. There were no bloody scenes yet, but she was sure that it wouldn't be long before a fight broke out.
