Summary from MangaUpdates:
The new English teacher, Chun-Woo, is not your ordinary teacher. Shioon, a victim of constant bullying, unexpectedly witnesses Chun-Woo's fighting power, and begs him to make him his disciple. Chun-Woo claims he can teach Shioon only if he is truly determined, and Shioon must jump off a bridge into a deep river in order to prove it!

It turns out, however, that Chun-Woo and his powers are more than meets the eye. Shioon makes a grand entrance into the hidden world of martial arts, and he is about to be taught by the best there is!
Kenn's Comment: Let's start off by wishing each other a happy Halloween for those who are still on the 31st.

Anywho, this manhwa was really good. Think of it as a History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi crossed with...something else. I've seen that lots of people compare it to Veritas (the main character in that is a real dumbass), but I think it's a wee bit closer to HSDK (Kenichi) than Veritas. It gets pretty dark towards the end, where death flags are being raised no tomorrow.

The antagonists are really good in this. You really, really want to just go up to them and pull their intestines out and strangle them with their own innards. Like, really. I'm serious. The wimpy main character in the beginning is rather off setting though. Survive that and you'll find yourself immersed in the world of The Breaker.

Part 1 (series 1 in essence) ends at the end of this series. Part 2, New Waves has already started serializing. It's essentially a big reset from the first series, so you'll have to wait to see anything get done in that one.
