In a world where strength defines status, Rei Kurogane is an anomaly—a genius with an unrivaled mind but a body too weak to fight back. Born with extraordinary eyesight, he can see every movement, every flaw, and every strategy with perfect clarity. His memory is flawless, his calculations instantaneous, and his intellect unmatched. Yet, in a society where power rules over intelligence, Rei remains at the bottom—a prey among predators.

Living in poverty with his mother and younger sister, Rei’s only hope for a better future lies in Aether Academy—the most prestigious school in the country, where only the top students in various fields are accepted. Fighters, strategists, athletes, and prodigies all compete for dominance. To earn a scholarship and save his family, Rei must survive in a place where the weak are crushed.

But Aether Academy is ruthless. The entrance exam itself is a deadly survival race, and bullying is encouraged to weed out the unworthy. Despite his mind being leagues ahead of his peers, Rei’s lack of physical strength makes him an easy target.

Yet, Rei is not a victim—he is an observer.

He studies. He adapts. He learns.

Through analyzing street fights, animal instincts, and the weaknesses of the strong, Rei discovers a way to turn his intelligence into a weapon. He may not be able to overpower his enemies, but he can outthink them.

And soon… the world will learn that true power is not in the fists, but in the mind that controls them.

A battle of intellect vs. brute force begins.
The weakest student at Aether Academy is about to become its greatest strategist.

But can he survive long enough to prove it?

Beyond The Sight

Chapter 44: The Evolution of a Predator

Rei stood in the training hall, his breath steady.

For weeks, he had studied, failed, adapted, and repeated.

And now—his instincts had sharpened.

Rei (thinking, focused): I don't have strength. But I don't need it.Rei: If I can predict them, if I can move at the perfect moment… then I can win.

And today—he was going to prove it.

The Challenge – Facing Stronger Opponents

Rei, the weakest student in Class 1-A, had actually landed hits on Souta.

And now, other students wanted to see if it was a fluke.

Student 1 (grinning): "Tch. There's no way he can handle a real fight."Student 2 (curious): "Still, dodging everything isn't normal… what if he's actually dangerous?"

Professor Graves overheard.

Graves (crossing arms): "If you think he's weak, then fight him."

And just like that—Rei had a new challenge.

The Match – Rei vs. Kenji Arata

Kenji stepped onto the mat, cracking his knuckles.

✔ Muay Thai Specialist.✔ Explosive strength.✔ Loves close-range combat.

Kenji (grinning): "No hard feelings, weakling."

Rei stared at him calmly.

Rei (thinking): He's all offense. I just have to wait.

The First Exchange – Can Rei Handle It?

💥 Kenji attacked instantly.

✔ A knee strike—Rei slipped past it.✔ A spinning elbow—Rei weaved under.✔ A powerful front kick—Rei twisted away at the last second.

Kenji gritted his teeth.

Kenji (frustrated): "Tch… STOP RUNNING!"

💥 He threw a punch.

But this time—Rei didn't dodge.

Instead—he moved closer.

Kenji's eyes widened.

Kenji (thinking, shocked): What?!

💥 Rei struck—fast and sharp, hitting Kenji's exposed rib.

It wasn't powerful.

But it was perfectly placed.

Kenji stumbled back, gasping.

Kenji (blinking, stunned): "He hit me…?!"

The watching students fell silent.

Student (whispering): "What… kind of fighting style is that?"

The Turning Point – The Weak Prey Becomes Dangerous

Rei breathed evenly.

✔ He had successfully dodged everything.✔ He had landed a hit without getting touched.✔ Kenji—one of the most aggressive fighters in Class 1-A—was struggling.

Even Professor Graves raised an eyebrow.

Graves (thinking, amused): This is getting interesting…

And from the sidelines—Kozuki Renjou finally spoke.

Kozuki (smirking slightly): "Hmph. He's adapting."

Rei was no longer just surviving.

He was becoming a threat.
