History Series / ElInternadoLasCumbres

* DrillSergeantNasty: A good way to describe Mario's teaching style for gym class, it includes plenty of verbal abuse and threats. Outside of class, he is Mara's [[TheDragon enforcer]], who enjoys punishing female students with {{traumatic haircut}}s, subjecting anyone who pisses him off to a ShamefulStrip and a dose of the FireHoseCannon, and threatening Amaia.

* CannedOrdersOverLoudspeaker: After gym class, a recording reminds the students that a five-minute shower is required and that good personal hygiene is a sign of respect to oneself and others.

* Malaquías is the Spanish version of Malachi, a name of Hebrew origin that means "messenger of God".

* ThereAreNoTherapists: For a school specializing in "problem students", the staff-to-student ratio is very low. There doesn't seem to be any counselors or anybody qualified to deal with addiction or mental health issues beyond the school doctor who issues prescriptions. [[spoiler: And he is collaborating with Darío Mendoza in experimenting on the students.]] When Elvira mentions a student's ADHD diagnosis, Elías has to be told what ADHD is.
