What if the world was divided into people with martial-arts powers and people without? Tae-Yeon Kang is one of the lucky few born with such powers, and he enrolls in a special police university. The premise is a school-based action fantasy in which talent decides a person's place in a rigid society.The strength is the setting. The divided world gives the story a clear sense of class and ambition, and the training and rivalries are engaging. The action is clean and expressive, with a good sense of rhythm.The weaknesses are about structure. The academy-and-rivals formula is familiar, and some arcs stretch out. Readers wanting an original take may find the path predictable.Recommended for fans of school-based martial-arts stories. Expect a solid, energetic ride that follows familiar routes.
