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 77: The Genius vs. The Monster

🔥 Aether Academy had won. 🔥

But Rei Kurogane wasn't celebrating.

He sat alone in the dorm, staring at the ceiling.

💀 Something about Kozuki's fight wouldn't leave his mind. 💀

✔ Kozuki wasn't just strong.✔ Kozuki wasn't just fast.✔ He became something else entirely.

Rei (thinking, serious): That wasn't skill… That was instinct.

The Difference Between Strength and Genius

🔥 He had seen every detail of the fight. 🔥

✔ Kozuki didn't plan his movements—he just reacted.✔ He didn't think—he just knew.✔ He didn't hesitate—he devoured his opponents.

Rei (thinking, focused): He fights like a beast.

💀 But I… I fight like a human. 💀

Rei's Frustration – The Gap Between Them

🔥 Rei had spent his life mastering his mind. 🔥

✔ He could analyze any opponent.✔ He could break down any technique.✔ He could see weaknesses no one else could.

💀 It still wasn't enough. 💀

Kozuki had destroyed Ryoma.

And Rei couldn't even land a decisive blow on Renji.

Rei (clenching his jaw): Tch… I was useless.

The Genius's Decision – Surpassing the Monster

💀 Kozuki is stronger than me. 💀

✔ In speed.✔ In instincts.✔ In raw combat ability.

🔥 But that's fine. 🔥

Because Rei had something Kozuki didn't.

✔ A perfect memory.✔ A mind faster than any fighter.✔ The ability to adapt, learn, and evolve.

Rei (thinking, determined): If I can't match his instincts…

🔥 Then I'll create my own. 🔥

💀 I will become something greater. 💀

Rei's Training Begins – Learning to Survive the Wild

💥 The Next Night – Aether Academy's Training Grounds 💥

Rei stood in the middle of the empty arena.

✔ No lights.✔ No sound.✔ Nothing but the darkness.

🔥 If Kozuki fought like a beast… 🔥

Then Rei would train like one.

Step One – Erasing Hesitation

🔥 Animals don't hesitate. 🔥

✔ A tiger doesn't think before it pounces.✔ A hawk doesn't doubt before it strikes.✔ A wolf doesn't calculate—it moves.

💥 WHOOSH! 💥

🔥 Rei closed his eyes. 🔥

✔ He focused only on movement.✔ He let his body react before his mind could process.✔ He forced himself to move on instinct alone.

💥 Dodge left. Too slow.💥 Step back. Hesitated.💥 Counterattack. Too much thinking.

Rei (panting, frustrated): "Tch… This is harder than I thought."

Step Two – Learning From Nature

🔥 If humans weren't strong enough… 🔥

Then Rei would learn from something stronger.

✔ He studied the movements of animals.✔ He memorized how they fought.✔ He copied their instincts—forcing them into his own body.

💀 If Kozuki was a demon… 💀

🔥 Then I will become something beyond human. 🔥

The Genius's New Goal – Becoming the Ultimate Fighter

🔥 Kozuki is the strongest fighter in Aether Academy. 🔥

💀 But he won't be forever. 💀

✔ Rei wouldn't just catch up.✔ He wouldn't just match Kozuki.✔ He would surpass him.

Rei (smirking, determined): "Wait for me, Kozuki."

🔥 The genius of Aether Academy had begun his evolution. 🔥
