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.

Recuperating
Inside a Small Clinic
"Shin, can't you be gentler?" Tommy asked with a pained expression. The doctor before him was bandaging him with such force that it hurt.
The man looked back at Tommy with a big frown on his face. He was a tall man, but rather skinny. His black hair and polite gesture made him look like a handsome scholar, but Tommy knew the truth. His nimble hands moved and continued treating Tommy without any intention to reduce his strength.
"Outside our work, I'm Doctor Shiro, Tommy," the man said with a dark tone.
Tommy shrugged. This was the same man as their school's infirmary doctor. Even though Shiro's day job was to be the doctor to high school kids, he was also part of their group. In the identity as the fourth core member of Fiore Group, he specialized in protecting them from the shadows.
Seeing Tommy's nonchalant expression, he tightened the bandage once more. This resulted in Tommy yelping out in pain.
