Plot Details[]
Jin Mori and his grandfather.
On the beach of an unspecified island, a man relaxing with a group of people speaks on the phone with a certain Mr. Park. Unhappy about funds were used, the man on the beach threatens to expose the corrupt Park Mujin. However, a storm suddenly approaches the island and suddenly its attacked by something that emerges from the clouds. Mr. Park moves forwards with his own plans without further distraction while a pilot flying a helicopter over the island finds that it has been crushed by a giant hand.
In the past, young Jin Mori was raised by his grandfather until he was old enough to go to school. In the present, Mori wakes up from a dream of that event. He's horrified to realize that he overslept and rushes through the streets riding his bicycle like a mad man. Mori almost hits an old lady but he's too excited for the upcoming event, "The God of High School" to begin.
The God of High School tournament!
The God of High School is an all styles martial arts tournament. The preliminaries are being held at KORG Arena in Seoul. People from all across the area are excited about the tournament to begin, including Han Daewi, who's just finishing the night shift at his job.
A group of martial artists who didn't qualify for the tournament are asked the way to the arena by miss Yoo Mira. They admire her cute looks while she admires their muscles. Meanwhile, Mori starts to get hungry while biking his way all the way to the arena. On the way, he finds out that another old lady has been robbed by a rogue biker. He's able to see her entire situation and decides to try and get back her purse.

Mori is able to keep up with the biker and demands he pull over. While in pursuit, Mori accidentally slams his bike into Mira's face. He tries to leave directly after but Mira strikes him with her sword. Mira learns about the situation and forgives Mori, deciding to join his crusade to stop the thief. Working together, they're able to chase down the biker and nearly catch him, but Mira crashes into a street sign. Just when the Biker believes he's gotten away, Daewi appears and punches the thief off his bike and puts a swift end to the chaos.
Mori thanks Daewi for helping him catch the thief.
Mori, Mira, and Daewi all manage to make it to the arena in time and prepare for the preliminaries together. This event will determine the regional qualifiers for the next section of the tournament in one month's time. Contestants are marked with nanomachines that allow the tournament staff to monitor their vitals and gauge their physical abilities.
The announcer tells the contestants to begin fighting, but many of them are confused. Before long they realize these preliminaries will be a battle royale between the dozens of contestants present. The fighting ensues and the strongest fighters stand out among the crowd using their superior fighting skills. Mori, Daewi, and Mira are among those who dominate the competition.

The commissioner who recruited Mori apparently fought and was injured by him. That same commissioner watches Mori fight and claims things are proceeding as expected. The other commissioners allow a latecomer to join the battle, an infamous juvenile named Gang Manseok. Considering his violent history, the commissioners consider him the one to beat.
Gang joins the fight and easily dominates those around him, even bullying them. Mira tries to stop him and engages Gang in battle, striking him with her barehanded Moon Light Sword Style No. 1: Deva! Despite her efforts, Gang is able to withstand her attacks before Mori steps in to take over the fight.
