Risk
Factors, page 28

Your
risk factor summary includes several risks that do not have corresponding risk factor disclosure. For example, the risk factor summary
states that you will not obtain a fairness opinion from an unaffiliated third party. It also states that significant redemptions
could cause the PubCo Ordinary shares to become less liquid. These are non-exhaustive examples. Please include a corresponding risk
factor for each risk mentioned in the risk factor summary and provide detailed discussion of why these factors pose a risk to public
shareholders.

with the Staff’s comment. In addition, we have added a risk factor as to not obtaining a fairness opinion on page 46 of the Registration
Statement.

8.
Please
revise to include a risk factor highlighting that Nova Vision has experienced a significant number of redemptions and could experience
further redemptions in connection with the business combination. This risk factor should include a discussion of the impact that
additional redemptions may have on your ability to fund the surviving company, including the likelihood that you will be unable to
raise additional capital on favorable terms. Discuss the downward pressure potential sales of securities following additional capital
raising transactions may have on the trading price of the combined entity.

We
note your disclosure that 95% of your members are U.S. based. However, we note that a majority of your development team employees

your disclosure that you “shall not undertake a business combination with any entity with its principal business operations
in China (including Hong Kong and Macau)”, but that you have two subsidiaries located in Hong Kong. Please revise to provide
a more complete discussion regarding the extent of your business operations in Hong Kong, quantify the percentage of employees based
there as well as whether any of your officers and directors are located in Hong Kong or China, and the percentage of revenue that
is attributable to your Hong Kong subsidiaries.
Response:
The disclosure on pages 41, 95 and 108 have been revised to address the topics set forth in the Staff’s comment, including
to better explain why Nova Vision does not believe that Real Messenger should be considered an “entity with its principal business
operations in China (including Hong Kong and Macau),” and that Nova Vision and Real Messenger do not expect to generate any revenue
from China (including Hong Kong and Macau).

Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information Description of the Transactions, page 126

You
disclose that an additional 7,500,000 ordinary shares may be issued to the Real Messenger shareholders as earnout consideration.
Please tell us, and revise to disclose, how you plan to account for the earnout consideration and provide the authoritative literature
that supports your view. Include your assessment of the preliminary fair value of the earnout shares and revise the pro forma financial
statements accordingly. If you determine that the earnout shares will be accounted for as a liability, disclose the factors that

Response:
We respectfully inform the staff that the Merger Agreement Amendment dated August 15, 2023 removed the earnout from the terms

that the note holders have chosen to convert their notes rather than cash settle the debt. If they have not done so, explain
