Class Zero

CLASS ZERO: RULEBREAKERS OF SEONGHWA HIGH Seonghwa High is supposed to be the perfect school. Elite students. Perfect grades. Wealthy families. A spotless reputation. But behind its polished walls exists a completely different world—one ruled by student crews, rivalries, secrets, and an underground hierarchy that even the teachers seem unwilling to challenge. Then there's Peter Brooke. A scholarship student with black hair, striking red eyes, a ridiculous sense of humor, and absolutely no interest in becoming important. Peter just wants three things: Pass school. Pay his bills. Stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, trouble seems to have his address. Peter constantly acts like a clueless, broke, harmless idiot. He jokes when things get serious, asks way too many questions in class, steals every piece of free food he can find, and would rather run away from a fight than participate in one. But there's something nobody at Seonghwa High knows. Peter isn't helpless. Years ago, an extraordinary martial-arts master took him under his wing and taught him how to understand movement, timing, distance, balance, and combat. Peter learned far more than he ever lets anyone see. And now, for the first time in years, he's trying to live an ordinary life. Then he meets Emma Veil, Seonghwa's untouchable Ice Princess. Nathan, the strongest student in the class, begins watching Peter closely. And Aaron, a ridiculously cheerful rich kid with the same chaotic energy as Peter, becomes his unexpected best friend. As Peter gets pulled deeper into Seonghwa's hidden world, one question begins spreading among the students: Why does the most harmless-looking guy in school seem to be hiding something? Friendships will be tested. Crews will clash. Secrets will surface. And Peter Brooke? He's just trying to make it through Monday without going broke. Welcome to Seonghwa High. Where the rules are written by the students who are strong enough to break them.
