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 58: The Hunt Continues

Rei stood frozen, his breath uneven.

Kozuki Renjou had just wiped out three fighters effortlessly—

And then… he let Rei go.

Rei (thinking, confused): Why?

Kozuki wasn't the type to show mercy.

He fought for fun.

He crushed strong opponents without hesitation.

And yet, today—he had chosen to leave Rei alone.

Rei (thinking, serious): He doesn't see me as a threat.

That realization stung.

🔥 It gave Rei a goal. 🔥

If Kozuki wanted to see how much he could improve—

💀 Then Rei would make sure the next time they met, he wouldn't need to be spared. 💀

Rei's Next Move – The Game of Survival

There was no time to dwell on Kozuki's decision.

The Grand Challenge was still happening.

✔ The target was still out there.✔ Other students were still hunting.✔ And the battlefield was growing more dangerous by the minute.

Rei took a deep breath.

Rei (thinking, analyzing): I can't win in a direct fight. But if I find the target first… I have a chance.

His eyes sharpened.

💥 He took off running. 💥

Other Battlefields – The Monsters Keep Fighting

Across the arena, the real battles were intensifying.

🔹 Ryoma Takeda – The Unstoppable Tank – was crushing students with pure brute strength.

💥 A student punched his ribs—but Ryoma didn't even flinch.💥 He grabbed the attacker's head and slammed him into the ground.💥 "Too weak," he muttered, moving on to his next target.

🔹 Renji Aoyama – The Fastest Striker – was eliminating opponents before they could react.

💥 One blink—he appeared behind his enemy.💥 Two blinks—his fist was already connecting.💥 Three blinks—the opponent was unconscious before realizing what happened.

🔹 Akari Kisaragi – The Phantom Evasion – was untouchable.

💥 Five students tried surrounding her.💥 They launched a combined attack—but every strike missed.💥 With perfect counters, she took them all out without breaking a sweat.

🔹 Souta Arclight was hunting alone.

Unlike the others, Souta didn't waste time fighting.

He was moving fast.

💥 Using his inhuman reflexes to dodge encounters.💥 Tracking subtle signs of where the target could be.💥 Staying ahead of the competition.

Souta (grinning, to himself): "This prize is mine."

But—he wasn't the only one thinking that.

Because Kozuki Renjou was still out there.

Rei's Discovery – A Clue to the Target

Back in the dense forest, Rei moved quickly.

His superior vision allowed him to spot hidden details others missed.

✔ Unusual footprints leading in a specific direction.✔ Broken branches—suggesting movement.✔ A faint disturbance in the grass—like someone had passed through recently.

Rei narrowed his eyes.

Rei (thinking, focused): The target is moving.

But Rei was tracking.

🔥 He felt like he had an advantage. 🔥
