Have you ever asked yourself why you need to study so hard?
Have you ever felt like none of the teachers understands you?
Have you ever got frustrated by the school’s stupid system
that never asks you if you want it?
Ever wondered why the school is so eager to have talented students
but never cares how we’re doing?
And how long do we have to put up with it?
Let me tell you a story of a school
called Ritdha Wittayakom,
and a program called ...

Welcome all of you to Class Matthayom 4 of Ritdha Wittayakom
This side of the school houses only Matthayom 4.
Matthayom 5 and 6 are on the other side.
This is a boarding school, so we provide dormitories for all students
I told you to stop! Where are you going? Stop!
Listen carefully.
You all have been selected to study
at one of the top schools in the country.
Stop! I told you stop!
Our alumni have good and stable careers with bright futures.
90% of them are nationally renowned with promising futures.
The remaining 10%...
Stop! Where are you going?
I told you to stop!
Where are you running off to?
Pang.
Stop!
Sawasdee krap.
What’s the commotion?
This student stole a phone that had been confiscated, Ms. Ladda
Typical Room 8.
Give me back the phone.
I don’t have it.
Liar!
You must have thrown it out.
No way. It’s a mobile phone
It will be destroyed if I throw it away.
What do you want to do?
I seriously don’t have it.
I can take off my pants.
That’s enough
There’s nothing to go on so I’ll let this one go.
Go back to your class now.
Yes, Miss.
This is an example of an inattentive student.
Mark my word: he will never be moved to another room
You should apply what you‘ve learned in real life
Don’t just play around like this student.
Now, let’s look at the parachute for egg drop.
Mg refers to the weight.
My name is Pang.
As you can see, I’m just a dumb kid.
Even though I got into one of the top schools in the country,
I ended up in the bottom classroom of the school.
I wouldn’t have any problems
if the school didn’t have some weird rules
to divide students based on their grades.
Pang!
You’re quite advanced.
You used the parachute for egg drop.
You’re taking this stuff seriously.
You’re the one who came up with this plan for me.
Stop right there.
I did come up with it but my plan takes two people.
You threw it out like this.
What if someone else found it?
You’d be screwed.
Luckily, you found it and not someone else
Think it through next time. Don’t be a child.
This is Nac, my best friend.
He’s a perfect student from Room 1.
As my best friend, he is the best example of
how being on top is so much different than the bottom.
Students from Room 1 have more privileges than others
They break before others
which means their meals are much more wholesome than mine.
They have access to better facilities
from Wi-Fi
to bathrooms.
Regarding the dorms
students from Room 1 are entitled to choose their roommates
If not for him, a student from Room 8 like me wouldn’t dream of a good
But seriously…
I don’t think it’s fair.
What’s not fair?
The school’s classroom division
It only makes students feel worse
When you say worse, does it include anything grave?
No, but it’s frustrating
That’s why the school has something called the placement test.
This test gives students in the bottom like you a second chance.
If you score high, you have a chance to move up.
I, on the other hand, need to maintain my grade
or I can end up in the bottom.
To sum it up, if you want something nice,
you need to focus on your study.
Don’t stress it.
I think the system is good.
Have you noticed that students here work their assess off?
Do you think those in other schools deliver the same level of dedication?
It’s good that you plan to move up now.
When we’re in Matthayom 5, the chance will be lower.
Stop complaining and start studying!
He’s right
Nobody wants to be in the bottom, so everyone is keen to study
Even students in Room 8 are striving to get their grades up.
But is that the right way?
Where are you going? That alarm sounds for Room 1.
Room 8 breaks at 12:30 PM. Have you forgot?
In the meantime, take this time to think about
how hard you have to study to move up to a higher classroom.
The placement test is fast approaching.
Understand?
Oops, sorry. You’re okay?
Where is your badge?
Wipe my foot.
What the hell?
Where is your badge?
Wait
wipe it.
That’s fine. It doesn’t leave a stain on me.
I meant wipe my shoe.
What the hell?
I said wipe my freaking foot.
What the hell is wrong with you?
What’s the matter?
I asked, what’s the matter?
He came at me first.
Miss,
he doesn’t have a badge on his shirt.
I’m afraid he’s a student from another class
who sneaked out to have an early lunch break.
Don’t change the subject.
Quiet!
Where is your badge?
I left it upstairs.
What room are you in?
Pang, why did it take you so long to put away the dish?
Oh, sawasdee krap, Miss.
Is he your friend?
Yes, he forgot his badge in the classroom
He’s in Room 1 same as me.
Really?
I’m also in Room 1 but I don’t know him.
Wave,
let me ask you something.
How many people can you actually remember their names?
Give me one
If this is true, I’ll let this go.
Don’t let me catch you in a lie later.
It’s so good to be a leech.
A leech can get away with anything
Watch your mouth, Wave.
You, too.
Don’t take comfort in the fact that you’re in the same room as me.
After the placement test, I’ll be in the Gifted Program.
You’ll probably stay right where you are with one leech.
Do you think you’re the only one who’ll get in the Gifted Program?
Mark my word: I’ll be in the Gifted Program.
Not just me,
my friend will be in the Gifted Program as well.
Nac!
I sure hope that comes true.
Nac, why would you make that bet?
I couldn’t help it. The emotion ran very high.
You sure did pick the right person to fight with.
Wave is the person I hate the most in Room 1.
Yeah?
What’s he like?
He’s a genius in math and computer.
Even though he’s a complete jerk, his talent is real
Everybody drop the pencil.
The answers are…
0, 1 and 2.
You can’t beat him with power.
If you want to humiliate him, you must do it with intelligence
How can I beat him in that area?
That’s why I’m tutoring you.
You need to make it to the Gifted Program.
Good grade is already difficult for me.
I’m in Room 8, for crying out loud.
You haven’t tried it yet.
Are you done with this? Let me see.
Damn it, Pang.
I told you!
How are we going to do this? The test is tomorrow.
Damn it, I can’t help you.
Only one solution left.
What?
We steal the exam.
Hey, do we really have to go through all this?
Hey, we’re doing this for you to be in the Gifted Program.
It’ll be good for you.
Follow me.
But I don’t want to be that Program.
Pang, you know that students in Room 1
have access to better things.
The Gifted Program will give you so much more.
It is the highest rank of this school.
It’s a world of only a handful of genius students
who will not only get a full ride scholarship all the way to college
but also enjoy premium privileges of the school.
The first M.4 placement test is not only to re-divide the classroom,
but also to select students for the Gifted Program.
If we can steal a copy of the exam, it will do both you and me good
Don’t you want to be on top?
If the Gifted Program is for geniuses,
why should ordinary people like us bother to even try?
How do you know I’m ordinary?
Fine. How do you know that the exams are here?
Good question.
At lunchtime, I saw them carry a locked cabinet up to that room
I think the exams are in there. Trust me.
Come on.
Follow me.
Pang, here is the cabinet that I told you about.
Pang, come and help me.
1st Placement Test.
Yes!
Director, allow me to check the documents upstairs
Do you have any concerns regarding the upcoming test?
I don’t think there’s any problem
I have prepared the venue and exam copies in place
That’s good.
I hope that the exam this year will help us
find many high-potential Gifted students.
I hope so, too.
If there’s nothing else, we should check out the venue
Yes, sir.
How did that happen?
I don’t know.
Never mind.
Let’s go to the exam venue
All right.
Phew!
I almost passed out.
How did you come up with connecting Bluetooth to the speaker?
I saw the speaker over there.
I told you, you’re smarter than I think.
Let’s look at the exam
What’s wrong, Nac?
It’s average. I thought it’d be much more difficult.
Average my ass. This is difficult for me
It may be difficult for Room 8.
But for the Gifted Program, isn’t it too easy?
1st Placement Test
Although the exam is not that difficult
I made you a cheat sheet just to make sure.
Here.
If you just follow this sheet, you’ll get a full mark.
If you’re lucky, see you in the Gifted Program
Any students who finish the exam can submit their answer sheets now
The final question requires a free-text response
The question is, with new advancements in technology today,
humans are no longer subject to Charles Darwin’s natural selection.
Do you agree with this statement?
What the hell is this?
Please write your response on the back of the answer sheet.
I’ll wing it.
I didn’t know at that time
that event was the beginning of the whole story
Are you Pawaret?
See you in the Gifted Program.
Sorry, I didn’t see where I was going.
Me, too. I didn’t see you coming.
I’ve got to go.
Excuse me.
Hey, are you Pawaret?
How did you know?
Congratulations.
See you in the Gifted Program.
The Gifted Program
Mr. Pawaret Sermrittirong
Classroom 4/1
Mr. Pakorn Meechoke
Hi Mom, the test results have been announced.
I got in the Gifted Program.
Calm down. I’m serious.
I’m very confused myself
But Nac…
Nothing. I’ve got to go
Yes, bye.
The dorm staff texted to tell you to submit paperwork.
You’ll move to the Gifted dorm next week.
Nac, I don’t know how I ended up in the Program.
I didn’t use the cheat sheet that you gave me
I didn’t know even one correct answer to the exam.
I…
Enough.
I’m okay. Don’t worry.
I’m really okay.
There may be another test next semester.
It’s good that you got in first.
You’ll know what they teach and you can tell me about it.
Okay?
I’m glad you understand.
Yeah, go to bed already.
Do you have a pen I can borrow?
Yes, hold on
Thank you.
Are you the student from Room 8?
You know me?
Of course, you’re the first student from Room 8 to get into the Gifted Program
Everybody talks about you.
I was afraid the Program will be full of students from Room 1.
Terrified that I’d be surrounded with only nerds
It’s good to see students from other rooms as well.
I’m Ohm from Room 2.
Hello, students.
My name is Parama. You can call me Mr. Pom.
From this day onwards,
I’ll be the advisor for the Gifted students such as yourselves
All of you are the most outstanding students
You have a special potential hidden within.
The Gifted Program entails a lot of rules and details.
You may have seen the badge box and documents under your desk.
First of all, the Program is a supplemental class.
That means you need to attend your regular class.
Those from Room 1 must go to Classroom 1.
Those from Room 8 must go to Classroom 8.
After you finish your regular class, you must attend this Program here.
From now on, please pin your new badge in place of your old one.
Secondly, this Program comes with all these rules
I want you to read them in your own time.
The most important rule of all is…
You are prohibited from letting people outside of this Program
know what we do here, in any circumstance.
If you violate this rule, you will be expelled from this Program,
effective immediately.
Lastly,
find out why you are in the Gifted Program.
I’ll give you one week.
Please enjoy finding your potential.
I hope all of you find your answer.
The serious stuff is done.
We’ll get to some basic test.
Anybody know the answer to this set of numbers?
Raise your hand when you do.
Since that day I realized that being a Gifted student
wouldn’t be the same as an ordinary student.
All of Gifted students will enjoy the highest privileges in this school.
You’ll have access to better facilities than your ordinary classmates.
Compliance to dress code is not strictly enforced on you.
In addition, you’ll get to stay in your own dorm room.
You’ll receive regular health check-ups in the school.
All this is for you to develop your potential to the fullest.
I ask that you focus on discovering your potential
At first, it can be taxing and difficult for you
But the school is ready to support you in any way we can
Pawaret.
Lastly, I want you to believe in the Program
Believe in the teachers.
And believe in yourselves.
And you will definitely find out why you are here in this Program.
Listen to me, Pang.
An exam to this Program was conducted
with extreme rigor and in a critical manner
The Director oversaw the process in every step by himself.
Rest assured there is no mistake.
Why do I feel like I can’t catch up with my classmates?
I can’t seem to understand what the assignment is really about.
Really?
Do you not understand it?
Listen to me, Pang.
All of your classmates are wondering the same thing.
Now, I want you to focus on my question.
Think carefully about what has happened in the past
You may find an answer hidden somewhere in there.
Are you all right?
I’m totally fine. Never mind.
This one is interesting.
Pang, you’ve brought me to the Gifted shelf
just to look at these non-sense books?
No, this is a Program assignment.
I’m looking to find an answer as to what we’re doing.
By reading these books: fantasy, psychic powers?
Are you insane?
What’s wrong with you?
You promised to tell me about the Gifted Program
but you’ve disappeared.
The Program is so intense as you can see.
So intense that you find the time to read this crap?
Hey, the Program is really strange
How?
All of it: classmates, teachers, what we study.
I don’t know what it’s for.
The more I study, the more I feel like…
like…
Like I’m studying magic or psychic powers.
If you don’t want to tell me, just let me know.
No need to lie.
If you ask but you don’t believe my answer, don’t ask.
Then, tell me in detail what you study.
I can’t tell you more than this.
Damn it, Pang. I’m so disappointed in you.
I thought you’d pay attention when you’re in the Gifted Program.
In the end, you’re just playing around.
How did you end up in the Program?
You wouldn’t understand. You’re not in the Gifted Program.
Of course,
did you just figure out that an ordinary student like me isn’t a Gifted student?
I didn’t mean to…
Now that you’ve pushed yourself out of a slum,
don’t use your slum manner around here.
This is none of your freaking business, Wave.
You have no business being here. This is a Gifted zone.
So? Is a Gifted student that much more special than other students?
Of course. Even more so.
Don’t forget. You have a lower status than I do now.
Remember when I said I’d be in the Gifted Program
and you’d stay in Room 1 with a leech.
My words have come true.
The only difference is that you are the leech.
Right, Pang?
Shit, Wave!
Don’t!
Don’t try to stop me.
You dropped just like that. Like to play a victim, huh?
Get up. Get up now. Is this what you’ve got?
What’s going on?
Thank you, Ms. Ladda, for taking care of this.
But I can take it over from here.
I don’t’ think you can handle these kids
Department of Administration
How are you, Pang?
I’m all right.
Thank you, Ms. Ladda, for taking care of this.
But I can take it over from here.
No need.
I have come up with the punishment for these two students.
Grounded for 1 month should be enough.
This is an accident.
I don’t think it calls for a punishment.
I am in charge of student discipline
The duty of disciplining students lies with me, not you.
But the student you’re talking about is a Gifted student,
who is in my care.
The student you’re supposed to take care of
is the Gifted student who got hurt,
not the one who caused it.
Wasuthorn is safe.
The doctor said he was all right.
The student who caused it is Gifted.
So, this should be handled by me.
I don’t think you can handle these kids.
Regardless of whether I can,
the Director has issued an order
that all Gifted students are within my care solely.
Handle it well, then.
Don’t let something like this happen again.
Thank you, Ms. Ladda.
Let’s go
Wait.
The Gifted student can go.
But you are not.
But Ms. Ladda…
While Gifted students are in your care, ordinary ones are not
I will discipline him as I see fit.
Please do not overstep.
Since your friend receives a waiver,
you will get a double punishment
You will be suspended.
You can’t do this.
Why not?
You get away with it.
Someone needs to take it in your place.
But this is not his fault. It’s not fair.
Pang!
A Gifted student
asking for fairness?
It doesn’t matter which classroom I’m in.
The point is you can’t do this.
If my friend gets a punishment, so do I.
Shut up, Asshole!
Stop it!
Are you damned pleased trying to help an ordinary student like me?
Why would you be arguing now that everything fell into place
as planned by you and Wave?
What plan?
You just needed to ask.
The plan where you wanted the teacher to see me knock Wave down
I didn’t even raise a fist
I know your true color.
No wonder why Wave knows your name.
What would I do that for?
What for?
You need to depend on him.
You were acting like you weren’t comfortable in the Gifted Program.
But inside you wanted it so bad
You used me to get into the Program.
When I’m no longer useful, you find a new host to latch on.
It has to be Wave, huh? It has to be him, huh?
A leech like you
that’s all you can do.
Asshole!
Why?
Are you freaking crazy?
Why, is that not true?
Stop it!
How could you think like that?
Don’t you want to be in the Gifted Program?
I don’t want to be in the Gifted Program!
Stop it now!
If you think that low of me, you don’t have to be my friend.
Don’t ever talk to me again.
Are you happy now?
Have you ever asked yourself why you need to study so hard?
Let me examine you.
Have you ever felt...
How are you feeling?
like none of the teachers understands you?
Have you ever got frustrated by the school’s stupid system
that never asks you if you want it?
Nac…
Good luck.
Ever wondered why the school is so eager to have talented students,
special students,
but never cares how much we are hurting?
That’s enough for today.
Don’t forget about my question about why you are here.
Those who know the answer…
Pang, do you know the answer?
No, I don’t.
But I know
that The Gifted Program is so special
It really is.
I’ve got many things that I didn’t before
but at a cost of many other things.
I know I’m not suitable for it.
I don’t want to lose things that are important to me.
Pang,
I know what you’re trying to say.
But believe me, I want you to find out why you’re here
Then, you’ll understand everything.
That’s not necessary.
It is. It really is.
Why? I don’t want to be a Gifted student anymore.
Why would I need to find out the answer?
Don’t you get it?
What will happen if you don’t find out.
I can tell you, so you know.
You can’t go back now.
Why are you here in the Gifted Program?
The answer is
we are becoming extraordinary.
Mr. Pom,
what have you done to us?
Look,
Abracadabra!
Making an object disappear is my true potential.
Can you bring back the object?
Just being a Gifted student
does it give you the right to do whatever you want?
You get special privileges?
Answer me!
Stop it!
Did you see a student named Folk from Room 7 yesterday?
