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 69: The Road to the Top

The battle against Hellsing Academy was over.

🔥 Aether Academy had won. 🔥

But the victory didn't bring relief—it only made things more intense.

After the Match – The Debriefing

Back in the waiting room, the team gathered around as Magnus Valeford analyzed their performance.

Magnus (calm, serious): "You won. But barely."

Souta (frowning): "Barely? We took them out in seconds."

Magnus (shaking his head): "That was Hellsing's scouting team. Their real assassins weren't even on the field."

Rei had suspected it—but hearing it confirmed was unsettling.

Rei (thinking, analyzing): So that means… they were testing us?

Akari (arms crossed, frustrated): "Tch. Then what's their real team like?"

Magnus: "Kurogane. You fought their strategist. What did you see?"

Rei closed his eyes, recalling every detail.

✔ The assassin had used feints perfectly.✔ He never wasted movement.✔ And most importantly—he was still holding back.

Rei (serious): "They weren't aiming to win."

Souta (raising an eyebrow): "What?"

Rei (calmly): "Their movements… they were watching ours. Testing our reactions. They already know how we fight now."

Kozuki (grinning, stretching): "Good. That means we won't have to hold back next time."

Magnus (coldly): "You won't get a next time if you lose the next round."

Because the screen suddenly lit up—
