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.

Kanae returned quite late to the inn. When the two of them came back, most of the students already returned to their room. They shouldn't be asleep yet, but it was close to that. Some of them were not used to doing a lot of exercise, making them sleep faster than usual.
"Don't forget to wake up early. We're going to hike again."
Kanae nodded her head. "I'll remember that. Good night, President."
Kevin nodded back at her and walked towards his own room. Mike and Neo were already waiting for him. They smiled happily when they saw their leader return in one piece.
"You shouldn't walk around alone, Boss. There are a lot of people who want your life in this city," Neo reminded.
"I know," Kevin answered promptly.
Mike smiled wryly. He took out the neatly folded paper and handed it to Kevin. "This is the list of the students who came on this trip. There are some of them who didn't come because of various reasons."
Kevin didn't bother taking the paper. "Let's rest."
"Yes."
