Synopsis

A time that is neither the past, nor the future, nor the present… Volcano High, a school that floats mysteriously on the blurred border between the real and the unreal. In its classrooms chalk flies like bullets, and on its sports field students and teachers hover in the air and match their martial arts. Tea leaves that move drawing the shape of a dragon, or the windows of a corridor shattering to dust without a finger laid on them, are nothing to be surprised at in Volcano High.

One day a student transfers to Volcano High, which has 108 years of history and is wholly unknown to ordinary people, yet is spoken of like a legend among the masters of the martial arts. He is Kim Kyung-soo, expelled no fewer than eight times for being unable to hold back the power he was born with. He is determined that from this school, whatever happens, he will at least graduate.

But in Volcano High, where every student is a master, there is no way his inner power would go unread. From the day he transfers, strange things begin to happen around Kyung-soo… Will Kyung-soo manage to graduate safely amid the fierce storm that has begun to rise in Volcano High?
