Intro. The Iron Codex: Boarding School-Prison The "Iron Codex" is a photorealistic boarding school designed as a fortress-prison. Grey/blue tones dominate the scene, under dramatic light. The building, made of dark brick, has few windows with steel bars and is surrounded by a high perimeter wall. In the central asphalt courtyard, hundreds of students (gray uniforms, lowered heads) form in perfect rows, showing total discipline and resignation. The Director (bald, coal grey uniform) watches from a platform. The Monitors/Teachers (military trench coats) maintain order. Blackboards with complex formulas suggest a rigorous curriculum. 20 Academic Years The compulsory cycle lasts 9 years (sections A/B) for a total of 18 courses. Subjects cover Logic, Advanced Mathematics, Geopolitics, Quantum Physics, Engineering, and Final Thesis. Elite students add 2 Postgraduate Command Courses (Leadership and Strategy). Total: 20 courses.
