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.

Prisoner
"You're really quiet," Professor Taren shook his head lightly. He turned his head to Aria. "She's just like you when you endure the pain, Aria. You grit your teeth and never let your voice out."
Aria's face was still indifferent as he replied. "At that time, I only used the diluted medicine, Professor. It can't be compared with the pure and raw medicine that she consumed."
"Your bloodline and gene are not that strong. Ferdinand values you greatly, so I can't possibly risk you dying by using the pure one," Professor Taren replied with an 'it's unfortunate' expression.
Aria looked back at the professor. "Master Ferdinand only values me because we have experienced hardship as soldiers together. He's the one who saves me, and I value and also respect him greatly."
