Hard-Bound

For years, 2 brilliant students have been locked in an intense battle for academic supremacy at San Ignacio University. One has held the top spot for as long as anyone can remember, while the other refuses to settle for second place. Their rivalry is sharp, relentless-the kind that turns every exam into a competition, every debate into a war.

But as they enter their final year, everything shifts. The stakes are higher, the pressure heavier, and for the first time, they're forced into an alliance neither of them asked for. What was once a clear-cut rivalry becomes a reluctant partnership, where winning isn't as simple as outranking the other.

Ronni has always known Yñigo to be polished, confident, untouchable in ways beyond academics. But as they spend more time together, he begins to see things he never noticed before-signs of a life far removed from his own, details that hint at something much bigger than simple privilege.

And for years, their goal had been simple: win.
