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 was barely able to walk after the intense training with Master Rudy. He basically told her to keep up with him the entire time. Mind you, men's physical strength was mostly stronger than women. In addition, he was far stronger than her. Asking her to run around so much made her feet sore.
"Can you walk, Rei?" the young man saw Kanae's condition and wondered. It was already 2 AM, but Master Rudy still didn't let this girl go.
"I'll… be fine after a bit rest," Kanae answered. Her voice was mixed with pants as she still felt rather tired.
Her special phone suddenly vibrated.
"What is it?" she asked in a low voice and walked away from the place.
The young man saw Kanae already walked like usual. His brow furrowed as he noticed how well she masked her condition. Even though she was completely beaten up, not a single one of them showed on the surface.
