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.

The Highest Seat
After Kevin sat down and gave a short speech of thanks, they began eating delightfully. Right now, no one will scrutinize them about their manner and they could eat freely.
Kanae stared at the food on her plate ruefully.
'Why did I pick to come here as Rei and not Kanae?'
She was regretting her choice of coming here as Rei because she had to wear the cloth that covered her face almost all the time. She didn't dare to open it while eating, so she had to sneak the food from below them little by little. If not because of the cloth, she would surely eat at a fast rate and clean them up.
They were all very delicious!
As she couldn't change her current decision, she just did whatever she could to eat faster. The surrounding people around her didn't pay much attention to her as they were busy discussing the matter of the clan.
