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 79: A Hunter in the Making

🔥 Aether Academy's training grounds—midnight.

Rei Kurogane stood in the center, drenched in sweat, his heartbeat steady.

💀 He had finally done it. 💀

✔ He wasn't just reacting anymore.✔ He wasn't just thinking anymore.✔ His body and mind had fused into one.

🔥 This is what it means to fight like an animal… 🔥

But it still wasn't enough.

The First True Test – A Battle in the Dark

💥 WHOOSH! 💥

Rei moved through the training ground's obstacle course—completely blindfolded.

✔ No sight.✔ No calculations.✔ Only instinct.

💥 Dodge. ✔ Perfect.💥 Counterattack. ✔ Faster.💥 Avoid the incoming strike. ✔ Just in time.

🔥 I can feel it… my body is adapting. 🔥

💀 This isn't prediction anymore. 💀

🔥 This is survival. 🔥

The Next Goal – Beating Kozuki

Rei stopped, pulling off the blindfold.

His breath was steady. His muscles ached, but his mind was clear.

💀 I still wouldn't win against Kozuki. 💀

✔ Kozuki didn't just react—he overwhelmed.✔ Kozuki didn't just dodge—he disappeared.✔ Kozuki didn't just fight—he hunted.

🔥 I need something more. 🔥

The One Weakness of a Genius

Rei had never relied on raw strength.

✔ His advantage was speed and intelligence.✔ His mind allowed him to see through any fight.✔ His memory let him break down any movement.

💀 What happens when my body can't keep up? 💀

He thought back to his fight with Renji.

💥 He had seen the attack.💥 He had calculated the perfect counter.💥 But his body was too slow to execute it.

🔥 That won't happen again. 🔥

The Ultimate Training – Rei's Next Evolution

If he wanted to surpass Kozuki, he needed more than instincts.

✔ He needed strength.✔ He needed speed.✔ He needed endurance.

🔥 I'm not just going to be fast… I'm going to be unstoppable. 🔥

💀 A genius with an unbreakable body. 💀

The Morning After – Aether Academy's Dorms

Souta was the first to notice the change.

🔥 Rei was up before anyone else. 🔥

✔ Before sunrise.✔ Before training hours.✔ Before even Kozuki woke up.

Souta (raising an eyebrow): "Tch. What's with you? You never train this much."

Rei simply smirked.

Souta (grinning): "Heh. Lemme guess. Kozuki?"

Rei didn't answer—he didn't need to.

Because soon, he wasn't just going to fight Kozuki.

💀 He was going to surpass him. 💀
