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.

Intense Training (1)
"Doc, don't press too hard," Kanae whimpered. Because she didn't use her glasses, she failed to react to some of Shiro's best shooting techniques. This made her get hit in several places, and Shiro was treating her.
Shiro sighed. "You're a girl, so you should take care of your body better."
"…" Who's the one that makes me suffer?
"It's done. Wear your clothes properly again or when Tommy wakes up, he's going to accuse me of taking advantage of you again."
Kanae laughed when she heard that, but she followed Shiro's instructions. Tommy didn't want Kanae to get treated by guys, especially in a place like her back. This was the reason Shiro had to do it quickly while Tommy was still knocked out or he would be accused again.
"Can your hand hold on?" Kanae pointed to Shiro's hand.
Shiro moved his hand lightly. He smiled wryly. "I think, I also need to practice running while being shot at."
