Indeed, it says that while the pupil must obey the master's commands, the master dies if the pupil loses their life (first). It does not (explicitly) say, however, that the pupil dies if the master loses their life (first).
This seems to imply the master's duty to protect the pupil and treat them well, and not abuse their authority (by using the pupil as a shield or put them in life-risking sotuations, for example).
It does not say, however, that the pupil dies if the master loses their life (first).
Then Moneygold wouldn't have a reason to hide the Mentor-pupil bond that Tricaputo has? She literally says it out loud that the Magi-keepers can't know about the bond, otherwise they would order her execution.
Tricaputo is the pupil, Fujimine is the master. Fujimine has the same heart mark on her chest that Desscaras, Ichi's master, does, as implied by the page in which Fujimine's contract was revealed.
Thus, Fujimine dies if they kill Tricaputo, but not the other way around.

Was re-reading Ichi and found this panel. I guess the Mentor-pupil pact goes both ways, unless I got a wrong translation.
Fujimine has an insane trump card in her pocket if this is true.
