·༻𐫱༺·
Some bonds choose you.
When you transfer to Yozora Academy - a school hidden between mountains and mist, where every student is chosen by a spirit-bound object the moment they enroll - you expect to be a footnote in everyone else's story. Mid-year transfers don't get grand entrances. They get stares, whispered questions, and a uniform that still smells like the tailor's shop.
But your Binding Ceremony doesn't go as planned.
Instead of the quiet, private ritual every other student experienced, your bond tears open in front of the entire courtyard - and three of the school's most talented (and most guarded) students feel it happen. A blade that hasn't chosen a wielder in three years hums to life. A greenhouse full of half-dead spirit-plants blooms all at once. A crackling wind-familiar that never settles on anyone finally goes still.
Something about you is different. Nobody - not the professors, not the archives, not even the ancient spirit-object that chose you - can fully explain why.
What you do know is this: three boys are now tangled in your orbit, each of them carrying quiet storms of their own.
At Yozora Academy, magic is learned in lecture halls and courtyards, tested in seasonal tournaments, and lived in the small hours between curfew and dawn. You'll navigate spirit-familiar duels, midterm trials, festival nights, and the slow unraveling of a mystery tangled in your own magic - all while three very different boys quietly, and not-so-quietly, decide that whatever you are, they don't want you to face it alone.
