A Showcase of Mages' Baffling Behavior

Archmage Sweet, eldest daughter of the Sweet family, an elegant and haughty red rose. Archmage Browning, a magic prodigy from humble beginnings, a witty and charming emerald. These two legendary figures of the magical world must surely have been impressive even as apprentices... "The first time they had a class together, Senior Sweet blew up Senior Browning's cauldron with firewhisky." "The second time they had a class together, Senior Browning ruined Senior Sweet's quill with a yellow screaming chicken." "The third time they had a class together, Senior Sweet stuffed a scratchy snail into Senior Browning's mouth." "The fourth time they had a class together..." The new student listened with rapt attention and couldn't help asking, "And then? What happened next?" The upper-year mage recruiting for the club paused. "After that, these two remarkable mages, both accomplished in their own ways, were never assigned to the same classroom or put on the same timetable again. But if they ran into each other..." Right on cue, loud shouting rang out from in front of the academy cafeteria: "Come on, chocolate head! I'll break your nose today!" "Honey crybaby, let's see you try that with your arms pinned behind your back." "I'll stuff peas in your face today if it's the last thing I do, and I won't be a Sweet anymore!" "Funny, because I think you'd do well to change your name to Mashed Potato." New student: ... Upper-year mage: ... He cleared his throat and concluded, "...They'd get into fights like the one above, through trash talk, tripping, hair-pulling, biting, and so on." "Mages?" "Yes." "Remarkable mages?" "Yes." New student: "That's it? That's it? That's it?" "Quit whining. Join the club now and we'll throw in a front-row bench and creamy sunflower seeds for watching Browning and Sweet bicker!" "...Sorry, Senior. Sure thing, Senior. I want to join, Senior!" Note: This is a creative spin-off. If you want to read the original, find the story Magic Academy AU in my profile. The prologue is there. The male and female leads really do bicker constantly, like squabbling little kids, and love-hate each other. Their nicknames come from their names. The heroine's surname is Sweet, and the hero's is Browning, so they give each other dessert-themed nicknames as a sign of respect (?). Thanks to the lovely Moran Fanwu for making the cover!
