Chapter 1. said Simon.

Edogawa sighed.

"I won't go for breakfast, remember to reserve a seat for me." He took out his wand, and began to skillfully cast himself with confusion spells and all kinds of messy beauty spells, to cover up his too bad face—the image of the chief Auror There must always be elegance and perfection, and practice makes perfect.

"No problem." Simon said, while sighing in surprise, "Conan, you are really proficient in these..." It looks like you have used it a thousand or eight hundred times.

Edogawa paused his hands, then nodded as if nothing had happened, then played with his hair and so on, and smiled brightly: "There is no way, I can't make people who admire me sad."

The three of them made a vomiting motion at the same time, and went out noisyly.

After confirming that the three roommates had gone out for breakfast, Kudo finally took off his disguise and stared at the handsome young man in the mirror without any signs of fatigue.He bent his mouth, and the person in the mirror also bent his mouth, full of the reserve and simplicity of a teenager.But the young man's eyes were indifferent and alienated, as if he was also looking at the person outside the mirror at the same time.

Kudo stared at the face that didn't belong to him for a while, then unconsciously reached out to touch the mirror, as if he wanted to touch the boy in the mirror, until the biting coldness of the mirror came from his fingertips, which brought him back to his senses Come.

...How could Kuroba Kaito recognize himself through such an appearance?He didn't even recognize himself.

He closed his eyes tiredly.

He didn't go to the auditorium just because he wanted to procrastinate the time to meet Kuroba Kaito - he knew it was ridiculous and useless, in the end it was just a kind of spiritual comfort, a kind of subconscious escape.Kudo thinks he is not such a person, but the opponent is Kuroba Kaito, and Kuroba Kaito can always make him do things that he didn't expect.

When the hour hand gradually approached [-]:[-], he finally stood up resignedly, adjusted his appearance in front of the changing mirror, and received great praise from the changing mirror——

"Young wizard, you must be able to pick anyone up easily!"

"...Thank you very much."

Walking through the long corridor and climbing up the stairs, he paused outside the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, took a deep breath, and then walked in calmly.

Unexpectedly, there were no tables and chairs in the classroom, only a closet-like thing was placed beside the podium.Kudo knew what it was at a glance.

——Boggart, a magical creature, can see through the heart of the person facing it, and transform into the most feared thing in the heart of the opponent.

For no reason, his heart skipped a beat.

Simon saw him who had just walked in, and waved his arms to indicate his position.Kudo walked over.This position is still in the front, and you can clearly see everything that happened on the podium.Before Kuroba came, there were whispers in the classroom, and they began to discuss what the mysterious wardrobe meant there.

"Do you know what that is?" Simon asked in a low voice.

He didn't expect Edogawa to know what it was, he just asked casually, but he didn't expect the other party to reply calmly: "Boggart."

"...What?" Sam was taken aback.

"Magical creatures, capable of becoming whatever you fear most," he explained.

Simon looked at the wardrobe, and then at Edogawa beside him: "—but that's just a wardrobe!"

Edogawa was silent for a moment, doubting the reliability of the Sorting Hat: "...in the closet."

"Oh!" Simon suddenly realized, "Conan, you are so amazing, how do you know everything?"

This conversation has been heard by people nearby, but it didn't cause any panic. Instead, many people began to look forward to it with curiosity.

——Most wizards of this age have never seen any storms. They grew up in Hogwarts smoothly, so they are naturally curious about what they are most afraid of.

Before Kudo could answer, Kuroba calmly walked in from the door, with his usual bright smile, the black robe billowed at his feet, and the elegant and low-key dark lines reflected the light: "Good morning. "

"Morning - good -" came a neat voice from below, and both Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff obviously had a good impression of this professor.

Hei Yu couldn't help but smile even brighter, and he looked so radiant that it was impossible to take his eyes off him.Many people blushed quietly and looked at the handsome young professor on the podium even more eagerly.Heiyu was very helpful to this kind of gaze, and he tapped the blackboard with his fingers, and the chalk automatically wrote Boggart's scientific name on it.

"Today we're going to talk about the Boggart, an interesting magical creature."

Hearing Kuroba's words, many people secretly glanced at Edogawa Conan who stood out from the crowd.He turned a deaf ear to these gazes, just nodded his chin slightly, pursed his lips into a dull straight line, and stared at Kuroba Kaito with a somewhat dim eyes.

"Boggarts live in dark and narrow places. It will see through the heart and become the most feared thing for those who meet it. No one knows what a Boggart looks like and what shape it is. They only know that Boggarts are scary. The purpose is to absorb human beings. The fear of feeding, not self-defense. This is why boggarts are classified as creatures of dark magic."

Heiyu paused, gave the young wizards below a moment to think, and then said: "However, there is no way to deal with Boggarts. There are special spells for breaking Boggarts—this is also the main content we will learn today. Boggart banishing spell, hilarious. This spell turns a Boggart into the funniest thing you can think of."

A Ravenclaw raised his hand.

Kuroba nodded, motioning for her to ask a question."What would a Boggart look like if it faced many people? Would it split into multiples?" she asked.

Kuroba smiled slightly: "Very well, Ravenclaw is very good. You noticed this, wise wizard - yes, this is another weakness of Boggarts. When Boggarts are facing many people at the same time When it is in the wrong place, it doesn't know what it should look like, and the easier it is to deal with."

He gave the girl an approving look, and his eyes passed over Conan Edogawa who was standing near her, who was lowering his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

...I must have not slept well yesterday.

Kuroba thought to himself, but his expression didn't change much: "But you can also really kill Boggarts. The weapon against them is your laughter—yes, as long as you laugh at Boggarts, they will kill them." It will be wiped out immediately."

There was a lot of discussion from below, and Hei Yu gave them some time to digest so much information.When the discussion students gradually weakened, Kuroba smiled and said: "Don't think it's easy to laugh. When you face the things you fear most in this world, it takes enough courage to laugh out loud .”

He glanced over a circle of young wizards with different expressions, most of them were still indifferent.So Heiyu smiled and said: "Since you all think it is very simple, you might as well try it - remember, you can only use funny and funny, you can't really kill it." Heiyu moved gracefully from the podium Picking up the roster, he said unhurriedly, "Angelina Fan, Hufflepuff. It starts with you."

Everyone didn't take it seriously at first, until all kinds of sudden screams, crying and fear appeared one after another, and Professor Kuroba just forced the students to say "funny funny" with his hands behind his back, they didn't realize To the horrors of boggarts.

Kuroba sighed, her tone still gentle: "There is nothing to be afraid of, wizards. Think of it as a window to the soul, a chance to look directly into the darkness inside you. Everything is fake, you just need to say funny Funny, it can't scare you anymore."

At this time, a boy's voice sounded: "Since Professor Heiyu spoke so easily, can you show us a demonstration?"

Hei Yu was stunned for a second, then grinned, and blinked mischievously: "Of course it's okay."

At some point, Edogawa's eyes focused on Kaito Kuroba again.Facing the Boggart locked in the closet, the man left a handsome and straight back to the students, waved his magic wand, and the closed closet door bounced open with a "bang".

The black mist swept away, and no one could see clearly what happened on the podium.The little wizards opened their eyes wide, trying to see clearly what Professor Heiyu was most afraid of.

A few seconds later, the black mist slowly dissipated in the air, and a young man who was similar in appearance to Kaito Kuroba but whose facial features were different in details lay flat and floated in midair.

In an instant, there was only a dead silence in Kudo's mind, and he felt as if he was being strangled by a pair of hands that he could not break free from, making him feel overwhelming and inescapable suffocation and dizziness.

The man's wizard robe looked soft and expensive, but it looked a little tattered for unknown reasons. It was seen that the skin inside was cut by some sharp object, causing the fabric to be stained with dark red blood.His lips were bloodless, his chest didn't rise and fall, but his expression was calm, his brows were stretched, his eyes were closed, his slender, beautiful hands with well-knuckles were folded on his chest, and a broken wand was pressed against his chest.

—a cedar wand, twelve and three-quarter inches long, with a core of unicorn feathers, which Kudo Shin was all too familiar with.
