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 47: The Unreadable Fighter

The air in the training hall grew thick with anticipation.

Rei Kurogane had just dismantled Kenji Arata.Now, Professor Graves had thrown him into an even greater challenge.

A fight against Kozuki Renjou.

Kozuki Renjou – The Wild Card of Class 1-A

Unlike the other top students, Kozuki didn't have a specific style.

✔ He didn't rely on pure strength like Ryoma Takeda.✔ He wasn't a speed demon like Renji Aoyama.✔ He didn't have the precision of Akari Kisaragi.

Kozuki fought however he wanted.

His combat style was chaotic, unpredictable, and unreadable.

Which meant—Rei's strongest weapon, his ability to analyze and predict movements, might not work.

Kozuki (grinning): "This should be fun, Kurogane."

Rei (thinking): I've watched every student in Class 1-A. I know their strengths, their weaknesses… but Kozuki?

No matter how many times Rei had observed Kozuki…

🔹 Sometimes, he fought like a brawler.🔹 Other times, he moved like a counter-fighter.🔹 And then, there were moments where he did something completely irrational.

Rei (thinking, serious): He doesn't fight to win. He fights to enjoy the chaos.

Kozuki cracked his neck and stepped onto the mat.

The First Exchange – Rei's Instincts Falter

💥 Kozuki moved first.

✔ A step forward—faster than expected.✔ A sudden shift—his body feinting left, then right.✔ A sharp elbow strike—coming from an awkward angle.

Rei (thinking, eyes narrowing): His movement is… unnatural.

Unlike Kenji, who had a rhythm, Kozuki was erratic.

💥 Kozuki switched from elbows to a low kick.💥 Then from a low kick to a backstep and spinning punch.💥 Then, without warning—he did nothing, just standing there.

Kozuki (mocking): "What's wrong, Kurogane? Can't read me?"

For the first time since he started refining his instincts…

He couldn't predict what was coming next.

The Watching Students – Shock and Awe

The spectators felt it too.

Student 1 (wide-eyed): "Rei isn't dodging like before…"Student 2 (gulping): "Kozuki's fighting like a maniac. How do you analyze something like that?"Student 3 (whispering): "This might be the first time Rei's struggling to keep up…"

Meanwhile, Souta Arclight and Akari Kisaragi watched with tense expressions.

Akari (arms crossed): "Kozuki's not just strong. He's the worst type of opponent for someone like Rei."Souta (serious): "Yeah. Because he's unpredictable on purpose."

And in the back of the room, Professor Graves grinned.

Graves (thinking): Let's see what you do now, Kurogane.

Rei's Mind Races – Finding a New Strategy

Rei kept dodging, but his reactions were slower.

His usual flawless predictions weren't working.

Rei (gritted teeth): If I can't analyze his pattern…

Kozuki smirked and launched forward.

💥 A palm strike—Rei dodged.💥 A knee to the ribs—Rei barely avoided.💥 A sudden stop—Kozuki backed off just to throw Rei off.

Rei's mind struggled to grasp the rhythm.

He wasn't winning.

He was surviving.

And Kozuki was having fun.

Kozuki (grinning): "If you can't read me, then how do you plan to fight back?"

He would have to fight without relying on predictions.

It was time for him to evolve again.
