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.

BANG!
Kanae kicked a large sofa to stand between the two of them. Her feet were battered up from running here and there at high speed without care about anything, yet she stood firm as if her movement just now didn't hurt her at all. Her eyes were strained as she forcefully paid more attention to the man. Should he attack again, she had to be prepared.
Mike looked towards Kanae with surprise. He didn't expect to see someone else helping them. In addition, he didn't know who this person was at all.
"Boss, will he come with us?"
Kevin glanced towards Rei. "Rei, do you want to come with us?"
Kanae didn't answer. The man was angry at them, but the sofa protected them as long as they didn't stand over the height. Internally, he cursed whoever put the sofa in the middle of the mall like that.
Kanae didn't move from her spot as she waved her hand slightly. Her posture was clear. She would stay in this place.
