How the world's insanity can cost you.

Liansa was known for his aggression and strength. He instilled fear in the entire school — students were afraid to even accidentally cross his path, and teachers knew that regular methods of discipline were useless. His power was based on cruelty, and no one dared to challenge him. The situation had long since gotten out of control, and the teachers decided to send him to a special place. School No. 4 was surrounded by rumors and fear. It was said to be a place where the most dangerous students, whose reputation instilled terror, were gathered. There were no usual rules there — only constant conflicts that were settled by force. Fights were part of everyday life, and teachers, according to rumors, also participated in this chaos, maintaining strict order. Those who ended up there were faced with trials that could either strengthen or completely break them.
