I read this a long time ago and I dropped this at the first chapter: The premise of a dystopian world devoid of adults and governed by powers based on academic scores seemed amiss for me before. Now, I am regretting: I have missed a masterpiece for so long. Read this lest you experience the same regret!
My two OTPs: Mabaram x Jung Suk (basically parents of a big school) and Min Jae x Tae Sik.

2 major ships
Hanjoon x Junwoo: The latter showers Hanjoon with money to beat Nexus and attain his revenge. Their relationship reminds me of Woohyuk x Minho, Xavier x Lloyd, and Zi Mu x Ling Chen.
Hanjoon x Donghyeon: The latter fought against Nexus to the point of disability just for the sake of Hanjoon. Then they reunited to fight Nexus again.

Throughout the manhwa, Jinoh acts as a dependable savior and a steadfast reminder to prevent Jungho from succumbing to darkness.
I thought this is going to be a typical school bully story. However, this is something more: a tale of a vicious cycle of rebirth and a critique of the idea of tribulation.
