In a version of South Korea where high school students’ fighting abilities secretly determine their rank, physical strength dictates future opportunities, scholarships, and social status.
Shin Dae-hyun, a brilliant but physically average transfer student, enters Daejin High, one of the top-ranked combat schools in Seoul. Expecting to study quietly and focus on university entrance exams, he’s instead thrown into a brutal underground system controlled by gangs, elite student fighters, and a mysterious group known as The Council of Balance.
With only his intelligence, survival instincts, and help from a few unlikely allies—including the silent martial prodigy Lee Chan-mi—Dae-hyun must rise through the school’s ranks. Not to dominate, but to destroy the corrupt system from within.
He doesn’t fight to win.
He fights to end it all.
No superpowers. No shortcuts. Just fists, pain, and
strategy.
