Volcano High (2001) NTSC R3 DVD5
============================
Plot or synopsis:
 It is the 108th year of Volcano High School. In the classroom, chalk fly around like bullets. 
On the schoolyard, students and teachers hang in the air, competing against each other, 
using martial arts. At Volcano High, where every student is a martial arts expert, it is not 
surprising to see tea leaves moving in the shape of dragons or hallway windows shattering 
into bits with no one touching them. At Volcano High, the legend of the Secret Manuscript - 
the one who inherits these writings will rule the world - has been continuously passed down.
 The Secret Manuscript is more famous because it helped the principal JANG Oh-ja calm 
17 years of internecine feuding due to the privatization of schools. From the outside, 
Volcano High School seems peaceful. However, a bitter showdown for the Secret Manuscript 
is at hand. Among the challengers are the assistant principal who thirsts for the principal's position; 
SONG Hak-rim who became the best in the shortest time in the history of Volcano High; and 
JANG Ryang, captain of the weight lifting team who dreams of becoming the best at Volcano High.

On a windy, rainy day with thunder and lightening, KIM Kyung-soo transfers to Volcano High, 
his ninth school for he has been expelled from eight other schools because he cannot manage 
the power he is gifted with. Having become a problematic student despite his intentions, 
Kyung-soo is determined to graduate from Volcano High no matter what happens. However, 
at Volcano High, where all the students are martial arts experts, it is inevitable that they will 
grasp the potential talent of the new kid. At the brink of erupting, Volcano High regards Kyung-soo 
as the eye of a hurricane... Will Kyung-soo manage to graduate in the middle of the violent storm 
caused by the battle for the Secret Manuscript?
