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.

Clash before the Party
The next day, Kanae made sure that she was dressed neatly. Even though her clothes were simple and obviously came from a middle-tier store, she didn't look too bad.
She wore a white blouse with long sleeves, paired with a long black skirt. Under her skirt, she wore her training pants, but it was hidden quite well. As for her hair, she tied the two braids into one down her back before securing it with a ribbon.
This made her look rather childish, but she wanted them to underestimate her and think of her as a child for now. According to the law, she was indeed still a young kid.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, Kanae nodded in satisfaction. "This is already good enough. At least, the others won't know about my poor condition."
