Chapter 82: The Monster vs. The Hunter – The Fight That Changes Everything

🔥 Aether Academy – Training Grounds, Midnight.

The fight had begun.

Kozuki Renjou – The Demon of Aether Academy.Rei Kurogane – The Genius Who Refuses to Lose.

💀 Two months of training had led to this moment. 💀

And now—the real battle had started.

Kozuki's Speed – A Storm Unleashed

💥 BOOM! 💥

🔥 Kozuki disappeared.

A blur of motion.A fist aimed straight at Rei's ribs.A move that had crushed countless fighters before.

💥 WHOOSH! 💥

🔥 But Rei was ready.

His body moved before his mind processed.His instincts kicked in.His footwork adjusted instantly.

💀 He dodged it—cleanly. 💀

Kozuki's eyes narrowed.

Kozuki (thinking, serious): Tch. He's even faster than I thought.

💥 BOOM! 💥

🔥 Rei countered.

A lightning-fast elbow toward Kozuki's jaw.A spinning low kick to unbalance him.A follow-up knee strike—aimed for the ribs.

Kozuki blocked the first two.

💥 WHOOSH! 💥

🔥 But the knee strike landed.

A direct hit.A clean attack.Kozuki staggered.

💀 For the first time—Rei had landed a real blow. 💀

Rei's Evolution – A Fighter Who Can Read the Future

🔥 Two months ago, this would have been impossible.

Rei had speed—but no power.He had intelligence—but no instincts.He could predict—but he couldn't react fast enough.

💥 WHOOSH! 💥

🔥 But now—he was different.

His body had adapted to extreme pressure.His reflexes had sharpened to animal-like levels.His mind no longer hesitated—he simply moved.

Rei (thinking, focused): I can see everything.

💀 Kozuki isn't unbeatable anymore. 💀

The Demon's Response – Kozuki Gets Serious

🔥 Kozuki had been playing around.

Testing Rei.Measuring his growth.Seeing if he was actually worth fighting.

💥 BOOM! 💥

🔥 But now—that was over.

His stance changed.His presence became suffocating.The air around him grew heavier.

Kozuki (grinning, cracking his neck): "Heh. So you actually got stronger."

🔥 His smile widened. 🔥

Kozuki: "Good."

💥 BOOM! 💥

🔥 He vanished.

Rei's Ultimate Test – Surviving the Demon's Wrath

💀 In that instant—Rei lost sight of him. 💀

🔥 A punch came from nowhere.

💥 WHOOSH! 💥

Rei barely dodged.A second attack followed instantly.A third one came before Rei could react.

💥 BOOM! 💥

🔥 The impact sent Rei flying.

His body crashed into the ground.His breathing was heavy.His vision blurred for a moment.

💀 Tch… he's still faster. 💀

Kozuki stood over him, smirking.

Kozuki: "What happened, genius? You were doing so well."

🔥 This was the true difference between them. 🔥

💀 Rei had evolved—but Kozuki was still ahead. 💀

The Final Moments – Rei's Last Stand?

Rei slowly got up.

His body was aching.His mind was sharp.

🔥 I won't lose. Not yet. 🔥

💥 BOOM! 💥

🔥 He charged forward.

No hesitation.No fear.Only the will to win.

Kozuki grinned wider.

Kozuki (smirking): "That's more like it."

💥 BOOM! 💥

🔥 The fight wasn't over yet. 🔥
