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 glanced at Jason for a moment. She stepped forward. "Do you mind if I speak?"
"Who are you?" one of Lore Group's members asked.
"I'm Rei from Fiore Group," Kanae replied.
Dean nodded in approval. He had seen Kanae's strength, which made him treat this young girl as more or less his equal. Someone with excellent fighting prowess was worthy of respect.
"What is it, Rei?"
"I crossed the pool below by suspending a hose across the balconies on either side of the 21st floor," Kanae started. "It's still hanging there, so you can use it to get across the pool."
"Wait, how did you do that with a hose?" one man interrupted.
"It is indeed difficult with a typical hose, but I used the fire hose in the fire extinguisher box," Kanae explained. "It should be able to hold your weight if you cross one by one."
