Y/n opened his eyes as he noticed that he wasn't at the base. 

Looking around, all he can see is darkness. Like a space, with no ground, no water, no clouds, and nothing but darkness.

The only thing in the space is him and a strange floating mirror.

Y/n only stared at the mirror and around the area and began to notice some coffins floating behind the mirror.

'No'. Y/n immediately turn around and try to find an exit but was disappointed as he thought he was going to die when the mirror started to show green flames from inside.

"Ahh...My dear beloved."

"Who are you!?" Y/n was alerted by a random voice. There is no one but him, so he thought.

"A lovely and noble flower of evil."

"Who are you!?" Y/n repeated the question, now the voice is calling him evil? Rude.

"Truly, you are the most beautiful of all."

"Why thank you. Now boy, you better answer me! Who are you!?" Y/n smiled a bit at the compliment before realizing he still had no idea where he is or who is talking.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall who is the best?"

Y/n had enough and was going to pull out his gun but realizes he doesn't have it. "Where's my gun!?... And where are my clothes!?" Now he realizes that his clothes are gone. "Where's my dick!?"

"Those who are guided by the dark mirror, as long as your heart desires, take the hand that appears in the mirror."

"Hold on sir! Where's my baby maker!?" Y/n couldn't believe it, it's not where it is. His eyes widen and looks back, sighing in relief. "Okay, I still have my cake. But my baby maker!!"

He looked up to see a hand appearing in the mirror as he shook his head before realizing his body was moving on his own. "No. No. Body, I don't consent to this!"

Slowly his hand was touching the mirror as he blacked out.

"For me. For them. For you."

"We are running out of time."

Y/n slowly opens his eyes again but can some small light.

He tries to move but notices how little he could move. Moving his hands around the area, he could feel that everything around him was made out of wood. But when he was about to bust the wood, he heard something rattling next to him.

'What's that noise?' Y/n stare was different as his body posture was as well.

"I better hurry up and find that uniform before someone spots me...Urgggh... This lid weighs a ton! Try this on for size! Mya-ha!"

Out of instinct, Y/n put his arms up to protect him while blue flames were surrounding the box before it burst open.

"Now to grab the goods...What?! You ain't supposed to be awake!"

Y/n put his arms down and sees a creature, very closely resembles a cat. Their fur is grey with a white patch at their chest and pink paw pads, and they have electric blue flames blazing from their ears. Their eyes are also bright blue. Around its neck, they wear a black-and-white striped bow tie that is torn at the ends; it also bears a light purple gemstone that rests against its chest. Their tail is shaped like a pitchfork.

"A talking...cat?!" Y/n was confused while trying to have his eyes adjust to the sudden brightness.

 "How... How DARE YOU! I am no CAT! I'm Grim, sorcerer extraordinaire!" Grim proudly said before becoming serious, "Tch. Whatever. You...human! Just gimme your uniform and be quick about it!"

Y/n stared boredly at Grim, "My clothes are at least two times bigger...than..." He paused and realized something, he quickly patted his body and goes down to his lower area a felt something in between as he looked relieved, but then he also realizes something else as he glares at Grim. "Were you planning on stripping me down while I was unconscious?"

Grim flinches a bit from that glare but stay composed, "If you don't give me them...you're gonna regret burned!" He fired some blue flames.

Y/n's eyes widen as he motioned his hands and the flames evaporated.

"H-Huh!?" Grim's eyes widen, he thought that the person was just a weak human. He snapped out of his thought and realizes that they were leaving.

"Hey, come on! I'm on a tight schedule here!" Y/n started to run while Grim chases after him. They started to run past a long hallway and looks around see that he might be in some school since he notices some rooms looked like a classroom.

Pushing a door open, Y/n found himself at a library where some books were even floating.

"Shit, a dead end." Y/n cursed himself while he was looking around to see an exit. He suddenly felt an immense amount of heat coming to him as rolls over and dodges the flame.

"Foolish human! Did you think you could slip away from ME?" Grim had a smug expression as Y/n slowly goes to his pocket but notices that he still doesn't have his gun. "Now, unless you wanna get burned to a crisp, take off that—Me-YEOW! That hurt! What gives?"

A whip came and wrapped around Grim.

"Consider it tough love." A new voice came in as Y/n and Grim looked to see who it was.

It was a man whose face is concealed by a half-mask resembling a raven's beak. Through this mask, his eyes are occasionally seen glowing gold. He has pointed ears and short, wavy black hair.

He sports a greatcoat over his suit. Thick blackbird feathers curl out from its blue collar, while the tips of the coat are cut to resemble two bird wings.

He wears black gloves on either hand, with golden claw rings over each of his fingers. Three mirror-like accessories are attached to his hip, with four golden keys dangling from them. He wears another mirror-like charm on his hat, which has three more keys - making a total of seven.

The masked man turned to see Y/n as his expression was happier. "Ah, I've found you at last. Splendid. I trust you're one of this year's new students. My, were you ever eager to make your debut."

"Hold on-"

"And bringing a poorly trained familiar with you? That is a clear violation of the school's rules."

"That's not-"

"Let me go! I'm not their freakin' familiar!" Grim shouted while he was trying to break out of the whip.

"Sure, sure. The rebellious ones always say things like that. Just quiet down for a minute." The whip tightened around Grim, making him stop talking. Y/n stares at the masked man as he holds on to the whip.

"Lower your grip." Grim looked at Y/n with surprise since they don't know each other. In some sense, he felt a little warm by how they were demanding.

"A naughty student shouldn't be asking for anything-" Now the masked man got cut off by Y/n grabbing the guy's wrist hard. It made him let go of the whip making Grim go free.

Grim felt free till Y/n holds him while staring coldly at the man. Truth is, he doesn't know why he's suddenly protecting the flam cat, might be because of the situation. "Now, who are you?"

The man blinked before looking like he realizes something. "Ah, the teleportation must've made you disoriented. Well, it happens to some students, so I will give you an explanation as we make our way. For I am gracious."

'You would feel gracious when I put my arm-' Y/n slowly breathed in and out before following the masked man.

They made their way to the courtyard as the masked man looked at Y/n. "Ahem! This is Night Raven College. It is an institution for students the world over who demonstrate a rare aptitude for magic. It is the most prestigious academy of its sort in all of Twisted Wonderland. And I am the headmaster, appointed to take care of this academy by the board chairman, Dire Crowly."

"Twisted Wonderland...I'm sorry magic?" Y/n was confused about both terms. Either he's in some Harry Potter multiverse or in those stories where a woman ends up being a book's villainess and now has to try and live while figuring out how to leave.

"Only those who the Dark Mirror perceives as having a talent for magic are admitted to the college. Those who are selected are summoned to the campus through those "gates," which can appear anywhere." Dire Crowly explains as Y/n was slowly realizing what he was saying.

'Is he referring to that time I was naked and afraid?'

"A black carriage bearing one such gate should have come to meet you."

Y/n's eyes widen as he doesn't recall that happening. "Wait, that can't be possible...I was inside a building-"

"The carriage goes to welcome new students chosen by the Dark Mirror. They are special carriages that carry the doors to the academy. The market decided long ago that carriages are used to welcome people on special days."

"That's not possible, I-"

"Now, let us attend your orientation."
