Summary: Trying to find a meaning to her life, she applies for a wizarding school far away, even though she knows that her powers are next to none. Upon arriving, she is forced by the headmaster to join an organisation where the most powerful wizards lie, wanting her to improve. But what happens when she has to go deep into the hole of danger with them and their narcissistic leader? AU

I'm so tired and so… bored! Oliver's idea of safe practice is really getting on my nerves!

Currently, I am surrounded by a bunch of boring textbooks. And I only have one day to finish 15 of them!

"I did not bring you here for you to slack off!" l hear. Surely it's Oliver's mean voice. Geez, l did not come here to be ordered around by him either. Talking about mean, I wonder where Gene is.

"I see, deaf on top of dumb. Did you not hear what I said?" He suddenly continues, looking up from his book and giving me an evil glare. One thing for sure, I'm going to have a long day.

I sigh and look down on the textbook, while pretending that I'm reading. Being stuck alone with the most... narcissistic- oh that's it! The perfect nickname! *Evil grin* From now on, he's called Naru the Narcissist!

"Staring is rude, even if you're just admiring my good looks."

Oh yeah, and this is the moment when I, as in Mai, realise that I'm staring awkwardly at Naru, and probably have been for the past few minutes. I quickly turn my head away in embarrassment. The nerve of that guy! I know I'm at fault for staring but he shouldn't have just pointed it out; especially when I had no clue to what I was doing! Any responses... nope! l can't come up with one! Still, that narcissistic jerk is annoying me and has been annoying me for the past 12 hours!

"Narcissistic, annoying... just UGH!" l shout, getting up from my seat on the last word.

"Whoa! What happened here?" Gene comes in. Great! He's got amusement behind his voice! I can totally deal with a pair of annoying twins.

Not noticing that Gene is inspecting my textbooks, he speaks, "And who is Naru?"

He points to my doodles. Wait, when did I doodle?

My eyes widen a slight fraction when I look at the textbook page. It's covered with words "narcissist" and "jerk". The one which stands out the most though is "Naru-chan" written in big writing at the top. "N-no one!" I say, looking over to the side to avoid any glares that are coming my way.

"Oh come on Mai! You put "chan" next to it meaning that it is someone. My Japanese may not be perfect but I'm not clueless!" Gene responds in a matter-of-fact manner. This is definitely not what I need now.

I shrug, sigh and then try and storm away. That, we all know, is impossible with that NARCISSIST around!

"Where do you think you're going?" Naru calls. "Especially after damaging my textbooks?"

"I didn't do it on purpo-"

"I think you're perfectly aware that I'm not interested in your explanation. You have 5 hours left of the time I have given you and if you fail, the consequences will not be pleasant for an idiot such as yourself." He informs, still head in book.

"What are you going to do? Make me read another 50 textbooks?" I dare him.

"100. I'll make you read 100 textbooks." Ouch, that hurt. I mean he didn't mean that right?

"You don't mean that!" I yell.

"I can understand you. There is no need to yell." He turns a page in his book. As I'm about to open my mouth again Gene stops me.

"Hey don't worry about it. In fact…" He takes the textbook and rips it from its spine. "Now you can't read."

"Yes, she can." Naru corrects, pointing towards the textbook cupboard.

-"But she doesn't have to!"

-"Yes, I suppose. But then you'll have to teach her. I'm not wasting my time on an idiot." I'm not an idiot. You judgemental,arrogant-

"Fine!" They came to an agreement. Thank God. It's really awkward to watch twins bicker.

"Oh by the way Noll. We got a new case!" Gene hands a file over to Naru, who places his book on the coffee table and opens the file. After a quick read, he says, "No."

"But why Noll? They need our help!" Gene exaggerates with his hands.

"I'm not interested." Gene sighs in defeat.

"Okay, I guess it's too easy." Gene snatches the file from Naru's hands and walks off, clearly upset. I run after him.

"Hey Gene, wait up!" I run out of the room, only to find him standing there and looking at me.

"Why are you upset?" I ask.

"I'm not upset. I'm just going to return the file to the headmaster. Do you want to come?" He answers warmly with a smile. Why can't I understand these two?

I nod and follow him in silence. After a few minutes, we pass a pile of rubble. "What happened here?" I question curiously.

"You happened here." My face turns into a confused one. "That's the coffee shop you destroyed." My jaw drops. I feel very guilty right now. This is probably the reason Noll has no place to go to get his tea. "I don't know whether to thank you or be mad at you." Gene admits. "Thank you because Noll doesn't drag me there any more or mad because now he bothers me for his tea." He laughs.

"Are you two close?" I say thoughtfully.

"Closer than Noll cares to admit. He's an idiot." He insults his brother. More like in a teasing way. "I mean when it comes to personalities, me and him are the opposite ends of the rope. But I think that's what keeps us together."

Gene notices the headmaster walking our way, wearing a very worried face.

-"Gene, assemble the group now. We've got an emergency case!"

-"What happened?"

-"I don't have the time to explain. Just do as I say."

A/N: Sorry if it's short and horrible. But I promise REAL action in the next chapter. The spells are in Latin by the way.
