more quickly than i expected it's better like this better to take a beating first

either way we expected this try not to get yourself caught on video next time

hey weren't you the one who said you'd block all the bullets that came my way

sure i can block bullets but not when there's video evidence we'd have to make

an official request to have them taken down and i just won't do anything at all

hey that's not what i'm telling you to do are you doing that on purpose yes sir

yes sir

Back when I had my car, I should have run you down. I should have ended you,

you brat. God, sometimes you're worse than a teenager.

You're off the hook because I'm busy. Oh, of course, sir. Here you go.

You know there's a whole swarm of reporters out there. You gonna take a

beating? He who needs a beating should get one.

But that's not us.

Minister, can you tell us what the ERPB actually does? You propose that the ERPB

be established two years ago. Was it because of the incident at Tsuen Wan

Hai? Is corporal punishment the main goal? If so, how do you reconcile that

with the current laws against corporal punishment? Critics are saying that

despite problematic students, this model is archaic and violates student human

rights. Could you please give us your thoughts, Minister?

Human rights?

Did you just say human rights?

The Korean education system has failed its students.

Our children rely on private academies more than regular school.

And they think of their academy teachers more like homeroom teachers with no

authority. Regular schools have become places that merely fulfill performance

evaluations and quotas. They extract only what is required to get into a

college, nothing more.

We also claim that schools are sacred and important to society.

Yet we are seeing gambling, drug use, statutory rape, and even violent

organized crime groups occurring there, don't we? Our children no longer have

respect for their teachers.

And our teachers are now terrified of their students. And so how can we expect

any learning to take place when teachers have been stripped of their authority?

Obviously, I'm not referring to children who have access to academies and private

tutoring. Of course, they're doing just fine. But there are those that rely on

public schools.

And I want those children to learn in peace because that is the system we

built for them.

Therefore, corporal punishment will be enforced as of now.

And even the harshest forms of it.

If that's what it takes to protect our children's right to learn.

Now I'm talking to you, troublemakers.

Consider this a warning.

Don't interfere with our education system.

Otherwise the Bureau will come to put a stop to it.

We should send Minister Choi Gong-seok a token of appreciation on behalf of the

party. As you know, dear leader, your archrival, Ryu Gong-pyo, has been

ousted. It's made our work easier thanks to him. When was the bill passed to

establish the ERPB?

Was it really two years ago?

Yes, they had agreed to our party's proposed budget increase, which was for

more prosecution activities, on the condition we accept their bargaining

chip, which ended up being the bill to establish the ERPB.

So then, ultimately, the Bureau was established thanks to us. Is that it?

Choi Geon-suk isn't really well known to the public. And I'm sure the Bureau will

be gone in no time at all. Yes, that's right. Disciplining children by beating

them? Do you think the public will stand for that? We ground airplanes on

national exam days so that the listening portions of the test are heard properly.

Meaning that when it comes to education, people don't care about ideology or

party lines.

So educational responsibilities should fall on that minister.

We need to nip this issue in the butt quickly in order to avoid future

problems.

Fuck you!

Oh, you goddamn.

Guy, cigarettes, bro?

What the hell do you want? Get over here, you bastard.

Ah, shit.

Hey.

Hey. What?

You looked at me.

No, I didn't. You did. Whoa!

You trying to fight or what? No, no, I'm not. I'm not that kind of student.

Wait, who?

Your uniform's new. You're a transfer student?

Uh-huh.

Your school's fucking rough. Did you know that?

Oh, yes. I already did a bit of research.

You want protection?

Uh, I'm not sure you're the kind of guy I should trust with something so

serious, you know?

Why? Because most dudes are all talk and mostly full of shit?

I'll just have to show you.

Protection tax!

I can see that you're an incredibly well-prepared loser.

Oh, do you think you could write

me out a little receipt for that?

What the hell do you think, dumbass? I'm sorry for asking.

Find the other shoe and wear those.

Sure.

Hello?

I'm the transfer student.

My name is Bongun Dae.

Hello?

Go sit at the desk by the window.

Everyone, try to get along now.

What's up, guys?

Let's start the lesson.

I didn't bring my book. All right, share with the person next to you. I don't

have one either.

Me neither.

Then I'll just read aloud, and that'll be that.

You'll make us copies.

Could you please, sir?

That'll take way longer.

All the other teachers do it.

So?

Okay. I'll make some copies.

Thank you.

Guys, let's go farming.

Wait, what's farming? Yeah, farming!

Let's go, guys!

Hurry up. Hurry.

Pick what key.

Bring that fucking rat over here. Hey, wait. I'm not part of this. Seriously.

Open it.

Hey, guys. For lunch today, we've got Pikachu on the grill.

Let's go.

You're a design teacher.

Dread on me designer style.

We're in a class right now.

None of these guys are even paying attention anymore.

Look. I'm too sleepy for class today. Damn it, let go.

Let go right now.

Pikachu.

Damn it.

Hey, what the hell are you guys doing? Miss, why don't we have a group class

today?

Fuck those stupid clunkers.

Shit.

Hey, join class? Really sounds like fun. Get the fuck out of here, shit ass.

Hey, Jixi.

Yeah.

Get good footage.

Yeah, I'll make sure you look great

from this morning.

Sorry.

You're the transfer student.

I'm Kim Hyung Joo. I'm in the same class as you.

Wait, so what the hell is happening? What are they doing?

They want to be scouted.

That guy's the leader of the automobile department, Park Seong Hwan.

The guy with the short hair?

Yeah. Uh, see him?

He's the leader of the electrical department, Cho In Bum.

The one with the long hair? Yeah.

You have to fight well to get noticed and win to get scouted. Shut the fuck

up, you asshole!

Oh, okay. Who are they getting scouted by?

This kid here, Jang Kwon Hyuk, is the ultimate leader of the third years.

He shows up at school when he feels like it and doesn't come otherwise.

He'll beat up kids and steal their money all the time.

And he gets into gang fights with all the schools in the area.

I know I shouldn't say this as an educator.

But sometimes, I just never want him to show up again.

Yeah, well, it looks like he's already half gangster.

He was scouted even before he graduated, so he's already living that life.

Look, I'll show you. Here, take a look at this.

An expensive motorcycle, hard liquor, designer clothes, tattoos.

And according to the kids, there are rumors going around that he's already

earning tens of millions of won each month. I get why they're not motivated

to study. They're all just killing themselves fighting so one hulk will

scalp them too.

Just fucking die, you bastard!

You motherfucker.

Your stupid mouth will always be your weakness. Hold on, guys. What is it?

Whoa, fuck.

What? Wrongyook sent you a DM.

Check it out.

It's Wrongyook. He messaged me.

Hey, he wants to have an interview with me, you fucking asshole.

Yes!

I'm telling you, our teaching staff simply can't handle them anymore.

And that's why we contacted the ERPB.

So when will the other inspectors from the organization get here? Should we

find a place to set you all up?

Oh, no need. It's just me.

You're going to handle them all on your own then?

Listen, I don't want to scare you, but our last gym teacher was a former

national judo athlete.

He tried to break up a fight two months ago and broke his collarbone. He hasn't

been back to school since.

This is way more than simple discipline. You need to prepare yourself for war.

Do you really think war is necessary?

I'm telling you, with that kind of laid-back attitude, you're in big

trouble. You should just look at it like it's a war and... Sir, look, if we go to

war, then people will die.

Your students will all get along, and they'll enjoy their classes.

God damn it.

Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

You're a piece of crap, you fucking idiot.

You ran away before, didn't you?

Why'd you come to this school anyway?

I wanted to study cars and get a job somewhere.

I'm trying to get a job too, you know.

Kwon-yok is his own corporation.

And fist fights are what we get graded on.

Get over here. Hey, transfer student, come here.

Move your ass.

Get over there.

What? What?

You can beat him, right?

Fight.

The fucker that loses will become the punch meter.

Uh, do you think I could ask you what... What is a punch meter?

You want to know, hey?

Lose and find out.

Fight.

Do you want me to kick your ass?

What? Wait, what are you doing?

Why did he? Why are you doing this? They always do this. Hit me. No, I can't. If

you don't, they'll beat the both of us up.

Are you okay?

Listen to me carefully, guys. If Kwon Hyuk doesn't notice us this time around,

then we're all done for.

Okay. Punch meter.

Make sure you measure the distance properly.

You scored 92 points. Congratulations.

You must be an MMA fighter.

You've improved a lot. You should fight with them.

How many points do I get?

Move, move.

You scored 95 points. Congrats. You're currently number one.

Hey,

you okay?

I'm okay.

Don't worry about it.

Oh, well, here, just hold on to this for a sec.

Well, at least let me hold your bag for you. It's really all right.

I want to help.

You helped me today.

Thank you.

So, where do you live?

This is my place.

Oh, right, here.

Thanks a lot.

See you tomorrow.

Do you want to come inside?

I didn't mean like that. I meant, do you want to eat some rom yum with me?

Uh... Well... Okay, sure.

Great. I'm in. Okay.

Watch your step. Thanks.

Uh, oh, thank you.

So, why did you come to our school?

For college, through that, uh, that special, uh, specialized high school

stream. Might as well go to another school, then.

Since you just transferred over, you'll still have a chance.

It's not too late to tell your parents and get them to enroll you somewhere

else.

Oh, thank you.

What about you?

I always thought this school was my only option, but it wasn't.

Except that now, it's too late for me to change.

Well, you could always take the GED instead.

Yes, but that would cost too much with private academies and tutoring.

Try some of the kimchi.

My mom works at a restaurant, and the kimchi's famous, apparently. Okay.

That's my mom.

Hyunjoo, are you home?

Good afternoon.

Oh, my.

Hyunjoo, you brought a friend home.

Wait, all you're eating is ramen?

Hang on, I'll make a proper meal for you.

Oh, no, Mom, I'm okay. Just eat this. It's okay.

I must smell pretty bad, don't I? No. I'll go wash up quickly.

Just give me a minute.

If you stuff them like this, the newspaper picks up all the moisture so

it dries well. My mom's shoes stay wet all day long, so it gets uncomfortable.

Those slugs beat you up every single day, so why do you even bother to keep

showing up?

Because it's still school.

You're a good kid.

Who are you?

I'm an ERPB inspector, and I did a little bit of research on you.

So, want to hear some facts about Kim Young-joo? How do you know who I am?

Kid, I just told you I did some research.

You should get in there. Class is starting.

Don't worry about a thing. I'm going to make sure you start learning to spite

those guys. All right?

You can do it, Kim Young-joo.

You seriously expected a receipt for getting one?

You have a fucking dumbass here, guys.

Stay down there.

Huh? I saw it, but I just thought... One flew over the cuckoo's nest.

Hmm? One flew over the cuckoo's nest.

What is that?

You said you would, um, remember?

You said you'd go flutter flutter when I said cuckoo's nest.

It was her code.

Code?

Hey!

I sent you a video of the victim and messaged you the code.

Oh,

are you Bong Gun Dae, the deputy director?

Yes, sir.

Okay, I knew I chose the right person for this job. Wow.

Look at me.

There.

Deputy Director Bong Un Dae. Can you run?

Uh, why are you taking a... Hey!

Hey, you shitheads!

Hey,

you gangster, punk-ass, hooligan, idiotic, numbskull, shitheads!

Yeah, this is for you.

You dumb little punks. Look at what losers you are. How can you stand living

with yourselves?

Whoever catches that fucker gets 100,000 wands. I'm serious. Get him.

Oh, no.

Who is that?

Me?

I'm an inspector with the Educational Rights Protection Bureau. Educational

what? It's okay.

Don't hurt yourself.

He's from that place that beat up some nerds at Tae Han High. Oh, wow. So, Goon

High's not as stupid as it looks. Someone's paying attention.

I approve.

Yes, sir.

This isn't the kind of high school where we care about that shit. We don't hold

back here. And we don't give a single fuck whether you're an adult or not.

Wow, that's good to hear.

It's good that we're getting to know each other's limits.

Hey, you think I'm joking?

I'm just worried you boys might get hurt if I go too hard.

All right, everybody sit down. Now.

Fuck. Seriously?

What the fuck are you doing, man?

I'm gonna hit him!

You are, huh?

You can't even fight, you lowlife. What happens if you fuck it up? The worst

that can happen is they expel me. I don't care.

Life's too short to back down.

Then Guan Yoko finally noticed me. You guys are deluded.

Hey, listen up, boys. No one's quitting school today, got it? That's not up to

you. Actually, I'm afraid that it is.

Do you know how much it costs taxpayers to get you to this level of schooling?

At least 65 million won per person.

You think citizens would be happy if they knew their precious tax money was

being spent on shits like you guys? I don't think they'd be happy at all.

So if you want to know what you can do to make it up to them, there are three

things.

First of all, if you want to leave, You'll pay every last cent back before

you go.

Second, if you knock me down, then you can leave freely.

Third, sir, I'll do the second one. That'll be easy.

Auto department, let's go. Hey, we're in on this too.

Sit down, you little brat.

Don't get your eye poked out like that.

I say go. Go now. Go on. Punk.

Here. Come on.

You like getting involved?

We'll do it together.

Anyone not get hit or anyone want another shot?

Were

you

boxing?

Well,

that tired me out.

Let's sit.

This is why you brats should hear people out, okay? So the third and final

option, if you can't manage one or two, then be grateful and complete your

education.

Come on out now.

Wake up. It's at 6 a.m.

At 7 a.m., you'll have additional lessons, and afterwards, you'll have

your regular classes. And after that, you'll have a short break for lunch.

Then specialized classes, afternoon classes, afternoon specialty classes,

then your evening supplementary classes.

Fuck! Why are there so many damn classes?

You all need to make up for lost time. You've been skipping too often, guys.

I'm going to personally make sure that you punks make up every single last

second of the time you wasted.

I'll make sure you meet the mandatory class quota so you can graduate.

What do you say?

Isn't our education system incredible?

Yeah?

All right, orientation is over. Now I'll get your teacher in here, so stay in

your seats.

High five.

What are you guys looking at?

classes in the gym.

Welcome, sir.

Thank you.

Here.

Zombies with a thirst for knowledge.

What?

Go on in. I'm just joking.

They're quite obedient now.

This joint class has both electrical and automobile department students. So we're

going to learn about electric cars, which are relevant to both. Open your

textbooks. I haven't got mine, sir.

You can't have class without your textbooks.

All right, who's got their book?

Young Jew looks like he's got one.

Want me to go make copies?

We're not going to waste paper and electricity on these guys.

Okay, from this point forward, you make your own textbooks.

In the Joseon Dynasty way.

Okay, get ready. I'm starting the timer now.

Copy down every single word on the board.

Oh, this is terrible.

I haven't got a pen.

Oh, that is a shame. A pen is important. I wonder what we could use instead.

Of course, there's always your blood.

Good, good.

Now then, raise your hand if you also don't have a pen.

Anyone?

Hey, do you two not have pens?

I told you I was

timing it. Come to the front if you couldn't copy it down.

You want a double?

Stand up straight.

I haven't even touched you.

Okay.

can stay and finish why are we being forced to take the class when we don't

even want to this isn't gonna help our lives at all okay you've made a very

good point so we'll just focus on classes that will be helpful to your

lives from now on all right all right if you suspect that there's a problem with

the brakes there are four things you need to check first of all we need to

determine if it's an electrical or mechanical issue before we start so I'd

like the electrical department to take a close look at the circuitry. You're such

a stupid little punk. And automobile guys can check the brake pads and brake

fluid levels.

Yes. Okay, yeah.

I know you were all listening, right?

Okay, great. Park Song Won, Cho and Bum, come here and fix the brakes.

What? What the fuck are you saying now? Oh, we won't be able to. You really

don't think you can? Yeah, that's fucking stating the obvious.

Man, you should say fuck a lot.

I'll go. I'll go.

Why are you always so violent?

You guys should be filming this. God damn it. Oh, shit, man.

And I told you to fix them?

class is necessary or not.

There's no such thing as an unnecessary class.

In his career details section, the only word is classified.

I made a formal request for these documents from the National Assembly

Intelligence Committee. It feels like we're in a movie.

Sir, you were the director of the National Intelligence Service, right? I

just thought that there might be a way for you to get a little more information

on him.

First, you need to open the brake fluid reservoir, drain it, fill it with new

fluid, and then you can go ahead and check the levels. At this point, you

also have to check to see if there's any air in the braking system.

You fucking loser.

Who the hell do you think you are, teaching us? You think you can do

whatever you want because your status has improved? You loser.

You don't seem to learn your lesson.

You'll have to learn through experience, then.

Sir, I...

I was being a bit annoying.

These guys won't do it again, right? Sure.

Yeah.

Why did you defend those guys earlier?

I was worried that if something else went wrong, we'd have to stop the

lessons we're finally getting.

Every single second is pretty much crucial to me.

You were the one who got the inspector to stop them, weren't you?

Thank you.

It's nothing.

Just doing my job.

We're seriously fucked if we don't make the interview with Guan Yu today.

So use all your strength, man. Oh, yeah, yeah. I think it moved a bit.

It didn't.

No, I think it's working. Hey, it's not fucking working, dude. Shut up.

Fucking shit.

Hey, transfer student, come here, you fucker.

I know you're a little fucker, transfer student. You want any fucking

cigarettes? Come on, let him go.

So this little fucker vapes. Oh, shit.

Oh, you're a little savage. Look, a utility knife.

Here, give me that. You little shit.

Why?

Shit, this actually works. Yeah, I told you it would.

Okay, this is the last one.

Stop moving. Stay still, fucker. You almost got it.

Yeah, I'm done.

Wow, fucking right. It fucking worked.

Here, hold this.

I got it. You're gonna go first, and then you'll go.

Why do I have to go? Because if you don't, you're gonna snitch on us.

Shit.

Hey, you made it.

This is the last time.

Thank you, sir.

Holy fuck, he's so fucking cool.

Dig deeper and go all out. Just be cool. Understand? Understood, sir.

Oh, fuck. He's calling us. He's calling us over. Shit. Come on, loser. Hurry up.

Let's go. We can't.

Two,

three. Thank you for having us, sir.

Cho In-bong from Electrical. Park Sung-won from Goon High. Eighteen years

old.

Tell me your name.

I'm Hong Goon-dae, sir.

We're very pleased to meet you, sir.

I thought I only invited you here.

There was an issue at the school, sir.

so let's have a drink. Let's go!

Hey, come and get a picture with us.

Hey,

look. It's here.

La, la, la, super fun times in study hall.

Hey, we're Park Song Won, Cho In Bum, and Bong Goon Dae.

We're right here, sir.

What are you doing, you punks? Look at your sorry selves.

I told you to study separately. Are you also a punk? Oh, no, I'm not. Hey, sir,

you're totally screwed.

You know, you might want to start begging.

Why,

what's going on? Did you bring some backup punks?

Look at that cigarette.

Unfiltered, huh?

What should I do with you, hmm?

You must have gotten a lowdown on the way here that there's a scary man who

beats up disruptive students, huh?

You're not that scary, you know.

Except I'm pretty scary.

Oh, really?

That's true. You are a high school gangster, after all.

So let's see how strong you are. Think I'll break a sweat?

get beaten up by kids from other schools like that and I won't let shitty old

farts like this guy beat up by their students if you're in trouble drop my

name and if they keep trying to fight you even after you say it I'll

Why'd you stop?

He said to drop his name, so drop it. Chang Kwan-yook.

Hey, what the hell?

Chang Kwan-yook.

What does your name mean?

Is it like a free pass, like a backstage pass or something?

Look, guys, this is exactly why it's so important to complete your studies. You

might be physically big, but your mind is tiny like a child's.

Chang Kwan-yook, do you know why I dragged you down here?

I wanted you to be my demonstration tool.

You want to bring in Jang Kwon Hyuk?

You need to pull out the root to make sure no more weeds grow. How exactly do

you plan on luring him there? These guys all think that their bro has their

backs.

So they're bound to call in him when they get beaten up.

You clearly didn't understand me, so that gets you a flick, you brat.

You okay?

You're so fucked now.

I called my men.

They're coming to support me.

Oh, no.

Still haven't figured it out yet, huh?

I'm here to support you too, kiddo.

With this.

Inspector Nahua Jun had quite the illustrious career.

Apparently, he was a captain in the Special Forces Elite Mission Unit. Do

you want to bring us back to the days of training schools under military

dictatorship?

Do you want students to be oppressed under the heel of military boots?

I certainly don't.

Our party intends to focus all of its energy into disbanding the ERPB. We feel

the Bureau is an organization that shouldn't exist. What exactly is the

problem?

Is it a problem that the Inspector is a former soldier?

The level of student violence we're seeing now is far greater than usual.

Students are active gangsters while still in school, in gangs that have been

formed by students.

The violence is higher than ever, yet you expect teachers to fight back with

nothing but chalk?

Bureau's intention isn't to fight the students. It's to fight the monsters who

threaten fellow students.

And a monster can only be taken down by another monster.

Stop now!

Are these your men?

Hey!

You've really made a mess around here, haven't you?

Now look!

Are any of you students?

Let me see a show of hands.

No one?

Well, that's a relief.

If you're not students, I don't have to go easy on you.

Hey, how'd you get all the way over there?

Go on, then.

Yeah, keep going.

I don't have to go easy on him, though, do I?

Wow, look at you.

So tough, trying to scare me.

Listen up, because I'm only going to tell you this once.

A school is a place where lessons are learned.

Nobody is allowed inside unless they're learning a lesson or teaching a lesson.

The moment one of you takes a single step forward is the moment that

you and I go to war.

War? You're lucky that's our specialty.

I was also wrong.

That isn't it.

Oh, uh, Santa, I'll stop coming to school.

I'll drop out.

That's not it either.

Think about it.

Who is it that you should be apologizing to?

Oh, right. Hey, hey, hey, Young Yu.

Right. Hey, Young Yu.

I'm sorry.

Oh, please, forgive me, please.

I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.

Hey, please, please, forgive me. Please, every man, please.

It's okay, guys. It's okay. Really.

Oh, please.

Hey, you don't have to do that. No, really, please forgive me. I'm really

sorry.

Young Ju.

Are you okay?

I'm sorry.

If you don't want to take classes, don't. If you don't want to study,

don't. It's your life.

However, don't get in the way of anyone else's life.

Don't assume that a minute of your life is the same as anyone else's, even if it

may seem like it.

That knowledge will make a world of difference in your life.

Understand, you brats?

Yes!

Speak up. Do you understand or not? Yes, sir!

I will now give a report on the recent endeavors of the Educational Rights

Protection Bureau.

Through the diligent work of Inspector Na Huajin, the Bureau has resolved the

issues around the right to learn at Guantech in order to prevent those

issues from recurring anywhere else. We will be contacting departments to

implement the following.

Starting now, all tattoos will be banned at all schools.

Motorcycles will no longer be permitted on school grounds.

If any student attempts to start or join an organized crime group, like a gang of

school bullies or a gang of violent criminals, they will be charged and

tried as adults under the laws against organized crime.

Finally, in cooperation with the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of

Sciences and Technology, we plan on monitoring and deterring any millennial

and Gen Z gangsters who recruit through social media.

We at the ERPB will continue to do our utmost to protect our students'

educational rights.

TV off. Oh, yes, sir. Whoa.

You were just in there, and now you've appeared in here.

I don't mean to overstep, but are you trying to become a television

personality? What?

You do it then.

Oh, I didn't mean it like that. You just seem to be enjoying it, that's all. Am I

not allowed to enjoy it? Of course you are. Did you watch him? The Educational

Rights Protection Bureau will do the utmost to protect our students'

educational rights. That was the best.

May I interrupt your conversation for a moment, please?

Of course. What is it? Well, I had a few incidental expenses on this project that

were... Oh, well, of course you should claim those expenses.

What are they?

Well, on three separate occasions, I was shaken down.

Oh, you were?

Right. It was $40,000 in cash and $500 from a vending machine that sold fancy

coffees. And then in front of the labs at the school, they took my Nike Air

Force shoes worth $125,000.

They were nice and white and new. I had also been microwaving a three-song

garlic sausage sandwich, which was 2,200 won at the concession stand.

They even took that away from me.

After calculating everything, the total was about 167,000 won out of pocket. So

would I be able to claim that?

Oh, sure.

But did they steal anything else?

Oh, uh...

No, that was all of it.

All right.

Claim the expenses.

Thank you, sir.

Want me to buy you a sausage?

Huh? Oh, no, no, no. I'm fine, sir. You should. That weasel and garlic thing

sounds really good.

You should have one. Hey.

Lay off.

I thought what you just said, you were... Enough.
