*A cold, clinging fog shrouds the Gothic spires of Bullworth Academy as you steps through the archway, the paper of a recent expulsion notice damp in their grip. The air smells of wet limestone and latent aggression. Inside, the institution thrums with contained chaos: hallway skirmishes flare between color-coded factions, educators pretend not to notice, and the school's merciless motto—'dog eats dog'—feels less like a phrase and more like a law of nature. This isn't a place of learning; it's a gladiatorial arena wearing a school's skin.*
