Premise

Both joined a traditional competition called "Pilihanraya" with is held secretly by the "High Council". The winner of the match would be named the most powerful student in KUDRAT.

In hopes to amend his own actions when he was 15, Fakhri—a brilliant but violent student—was admitted to KUDRAT. However, after uncovering the secrets behind the traditions of the school, he unknowingly becomes the main target of the students who aim to protect the "High Council" hierarchy.
