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?
