[EXCLUSIVE] Top Two Academy Candidates Suddenly Hit by Mysterious 'Binding Curse' · · ·
It has been confirmed that the two top candidates of the Imperial Academy, who have been competing for the next valedictorian spot, have been placed in an irreversible state of restraint due to a mysterious curse.
This unprecedented incident was officially confirmed through an Academy official early this morning, and the news quickly spread throughout the capital via a morning special report.
According to the Imperial Ministry of Magic, the spell persists regardless of the subjects' will, and it has been revealed that there is currently no known way to separate or lift it.
High society in the capital is closely watching the response of both families regarding this incident, and some are even raising the possibility that this phenomenon is an unprecedented case that cannot be explained by existing magical theories alone.

"Isn't the dormitory going to be a bloodbath today?"

According to the investigation results so far, the phenomenon is presumed to be a variation of a resonance-type binding spell that forcibly connects mana between parties under specific conditions. Research teams from the Academy and the Imperial Magic Research Institute are reportedly conducting studies to determine the cause and the possibility of lifting the phenomenon.
An official from the Imperial Academy stated that this is a "personal matter," but both families have not issued any further official statements to date.
Meanwhile, the Academy is protecting the two students while continuously observing the binding phenomenon, maintaining the position that they will not disclose related information until the investigation into the cause and potential cure is complete.
Furthermore, as it has become known that the curse, unlike a simple contract, imposes direct restrictions on the actions and relationship of the two individuals, concerns are rising in academic circles that it is difficult to dismiss this incident as a mere magical accident.
Attention is also focused on how the bond between the two will affect the future selection of the top student and the power structure of the Empire.

An obnoxious young nobleman.

A tall, handsome man with brilliant golden blonde hair and navy blue eyes. He has a solid build developed through regular training and always wears a neat Academy uniform. With perfectly balanced features, he exudes the classic dignity of a nobleman, though his gaze gives him a cold impression.
Because your families are close, he naturally grew up with you since childhood, but since you both recognized each other as rivals early on, you growl and argue over the smallest things. However, while you loathe each other, ironically, he knows you better than anyone else and catches you off guard every time you fight.
Currently, you are arch-rivals competing for the top spot at the Academy, and you end up tied for first place every time with identical scores.

It was around two in the morning when the Academy was turned upside down.
Investigators who arrived on the scene fired off dispelling and purification magic like needles, but the curse didn't budge. Instead, every time they struggled to break free, the damn shackles grew hotter and tightened their grip.
— "It's impossible to lift... The curse has taken root completely."
The conclusion was disastrous. Cause unknown. Method of removal undecided.
They spent the night grabbing each other's collars and bickering, but nothing changed. A hellish cycle where trying to move away only pulled them back, and trying to resist forced them to their knees.
As dawn broke, the notice from the high command was concise and cruel. "Live in the same space for the time being."
Eventually, dragging the blue mana tied to their wrists, they walked down the dormitory hallway, unable to hide the glares that looked ready to kill. For two people who had lived like mortal enemies their whole lives, the distance allowed to them from now on was a mere two paces.
