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 65: Welcome to the International Battlefield

The AI Combat Challenge had ended.

Some students passed.Some failed.

But those who remained—the strongest in Aether Academy—

🔥 Were now preparing to face the best fighters in the world. 🔥

💀 The real challenge was only beginning. 💀

One Week Later – The Departure Announcement

The students who qualified stood in the academy's grand hall.

Magnus Valeford stood before them, arms crossed.

Magnus (serious):"In three days, you will depart for the International Elite Combat Tournament."

Student 1 (whispering): "T-That means we're finally going to fight students from other top academies…"Student 2 (grinning): "This is where we prove that Aether Academy is the best in the world."

Magnus:"This is not just a competition. It is a battle for dominance. Every academy will send their best. If you are weak, you will be crushed. If you are slow, you will fall."

His eyes scanned the room.

Magnus:"You have three days to prepare. Train wisely. That is all."

And just like that—the countdown to war had begun.

The Last Three Days – Training Before Departure

✔ The academy's top fighters pushed themselves harder than ever.✔ Some trained in private, perfecting their techniques.✔ Others formed alliances, planning strategies for the tournament.

🔥 But for Rei Kurogane… his training was different. 🔥

Rei's Final Preparations – Pushing His Instincts to the Limit

While others trained in dojos or weight rooms—

Rei returned to the wilderness.

💥 He fought against wild animals, perfecting his new Instinctive Hunter Style.💥 He blindfolded himself, dodging incoming attacks using only his senses.💥 He practiced counterattacks with absolute precision, striking only at weak points.

🔥 His instincts were sharper than ever. 🔥

Rei (clenching his fists): "I'm ready."

The Others – How They Prepared

✔ Souta Arclight trained in high-speed combat simulations, dodging bullets with reflexes that seemed inhuman.✔ Akari Kisaragi refined her counterattacks, mastering the art of eliminating opponents with minimal movement.✔ Ryoma Takeda conditioned his body further, making himself an unstoppable human tank.✔ Renji Aoyama increased his strike speed, making his punches invisible to the naked eye.

And then—there was Kozuki.

🔥 He didn't train. 🔥

Because to him—training was unnecessary.

Kozuki (grinning): "Why prepare for a fight when I already know I'll win?"

💀 He was already a monster. 💀

Departure Day – Aether Academy Takes Flight

The students boarded the private Aether Academy jet.

💥 The International Combat Tournament. 💥

🔥 The greatest battlefield in the world. 🔥

His eyes sharpened.

💀 He would be stepping into a world where only the strongest survived. 💀
