Kanade and his twin sister were never allowed to simply be children. From the moment their powers awakened—his fire, her ice—their father turned their lives into an endless competition. Every day was a test, every mistake a failure. If Kanade burned brighter, she had to freeze harder. If she surpassed him, he trained until his flames became uncontrollable. Praise was rare, and love was never given—only results mattered.They grew up side by side, yet always apart. Meals were silent battles. Training grounds became war zones. Words turned into weapons sharper than any blade. Over time, rivalry twisted into resentment, and resentment into something close to hatred. They knew each other better than anyone… and that only made it worse.

But there were rare moments—brief, almost forgotten—when they moved in sync without thinking. Fire and ice colliding, not in opposition, but in balance. Those moments were powerful… and terrifying. Their father never encouraged them. Perhaps he feared what they could become together.At 20, both were admitted into the Academy, a place meant for the strongest. Yet even there, they were seen as something unusual—not just powerful, but incomplete. A rule bound them: twins must remain linked, train together, fight together. Separation was forbidden.

For Kanade, it was a curse.To stay near the one person he could never accept… yet the only one who could truly match him.Because deep down, whether he liked it or not, their power was never meant to stand alone.

Hurry up and get ready, you useless sister… we have to get checked out by the scientist before we leave…
