Counterclockwise · Rewrite the Stars

After making room for the three of them, Kudo immersed himself in the bitter sea of ​​papers again.

It's not that he didn't notice the gazes of the three, but time was running out, and he didn't care about taking care of the feelings of the three juniors. The three were very sensible and didn't talk to him, but chatted in a low voice beside him.Kudo was very grateful for such thoughtfulness.

By the time Kudo finally put down his quill, the Hogwarts Express had traveled two-thirds of the way.Outside the window are patches of lush mountains and forests, and the sunlight falls in softly through the glass windows.He breathed a sigh of relief, carefully rolled up a stack of kraft paper with satisfaction, and put it in the bag he carried with him.

"Edogawa-san... the speed of writing papers is quite fast."

The short black-haired girl looked at the Ravenclaw sitting by the window in admiration and said.

Kudo scratched his head, but didn't say anything, and answered vaguely.He couldn't tell them that he actually cheated, if he hadn't forgotten a little, he could write faster.

"By the way, I've been sorry to bother you just now. We haven't introduced ourselves yet. I'm Yoshida Ayumi, and this one next to me is Kojima Motota. You also know the one sitting next to you, Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko. We are both Gryffindor fourth grade, I took herbal medicine class with you, I don't know if you have any impression." Yoshida smiled shyly, his light blue eyes sparkling.Kudo glanced nonchalantly at Tsuburaya and Kojima, whose cheeks were a little red, feeling helpless.

It's good to be young.

...But he is already 25, and he really doesn't want to join in.

Kudo showed a polite smile, and nodded his head as a greeting: "I have an impression, Gryffindor Golden Triangle."

Kojima sighed adoringly: "Student Edogawa, can you teach me how to write as fast as you? I just took a peek at what you were writing—don't be angry! I didn't mean it!—— I wrote that dissertation on transfiguration for a whole week, but it turned out that you didn’t need to look up the information when you wrote it, it was finished in one go, just like..."

Kojima held back for a long time but couldn't find a suitable adjective, Yoshida burst out laughing first, and added for him: "It's like magic."

Kudo laughed, but he still answered seriously: "Just read more books." He also came here in the same way back then, so it's not a mistake.

"...But I remember that there are quite a few books to read." Kojima looked in shock at the black-haired young man sitting diagonally across from him.Kudo wrote "Isn't it normal that I've finished watching it" all over his face, and he blinked innocently.

Kojima’s eyes darkened, and he immediately gave up the idea of ​​taking a shortcut. He glanced at Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, who was sitting on the edge of the Edogawa River, looking at him with disgust, and muttered: “Sure enough, the world of top academics is very insane. Mitsuhiko, you should also go to Ravenclaw..."

Kojima paused, and suddenly thought of something, his eyes lit up and he said, "Hey! Actually this time, it was Mitsuhiko who proposed to sit with you, Edogawa—oh! What are you doing!"

Tsuburaya kicked Kojima out of sight and gave him a warning look.Kojima's face was a little distorted, and he looked at Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya, whose expression remained unchanged but whose ears were a little red, with grief and indignation.

Kudo raised his eyebrows, then looked at the popular Gryffindor Seeker sitting next to him.

Tsuburaya coughed, and since Kojima started, he was too embarrassed to pretend to be stupid, and said falteringly: "Yeah, it's nothing..." He paused, his voice lowered in Edogawa's sight, "I haven't found a chance to ask you before, during the last duel—well, that is, did you use silent magic..."

Kudo didn't expect Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya to notice his small movements at that time, but this time he was really surprised.He was stunned for a while, but he had no intention of concealing it.

He admitted generously: "Yes."

Not to mention silent magic, it is not impossible to have a wand and no sound.He thought about it with some complacency, and then felt a little embarrassed—what is there to be proud of in front of a group of children ten years younger than him.However, when he mastered the wandless and silent magic, he seemed to be around the same age as Tsuburaya and the others, so he felt a little proud when he thought about it.

Before Tsuburaya had time to say anything, Kojima and Yoshida widened their eyes and exclaimed in disbelief at the same time: "What?! Silent magic?!"

They stared at Edogawa Conan who sat there without changing his face, as if this incident was normal, and their jaws almost dropped to the ground in shock.

Kudo waved his hand, suddenly a faint glow appeared in the palm of his hand, which appeared quiet and ethereal in the sunlight.

"..."

The three of them were silent for a moment, and Kojima murmured "Damn, Merlin!", his eyes straightened.

Yuangu bit his lower lip, and said with some embarrassment: "Although it is very abrupt, but...it is..."

"You want to learn?" Kudo raised his eyebrows and withdrew his hand.The fluorescence immediately dissipated into the air.Tsuburaya's face burned even more after being directly seen through, and he nodded hastily, looking nervously and hopefully at the boy with his chin propped up.Originally thought that there would be many difficulties, but Edogawa just shrugged indifferently: "Okay, but it will be very hard, you have to be prepared."

"...Really?" He hurriedly clarified, "I'm not afraid of hard work. I mean, are you really willing to teach me?"

Yoshida and Kojima also yelled "I want to learn too!" "Take me, take me!" "It's so cool, Conan, you will be my idol from now on" and so on.

"There's nothing you can't teach." Edogawa smiled slyly, "I'm very strict, don't blame me for not reminding you."

Of course, the three of them did not know the ferocity of the chief Auror Kudo Shinichi. After all, the Aurors who had been "tortured" by Kudo had already graduated and traveled around to fight against the dark forces. What kind of devil training is waiting for them - but they have a lot of opportunities to experience it, and that's the next thing.

At this moment, there was the sound of cart wheels rolling over the floor outside the door.Kojima's eyes lit up, and when the lady selling snacks from the cart appeared, she happily said, "Two servings!"

The lady in the tutu skirt bent her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand to pinch Xiao Dao's chubby face, and handed him the snacks he ordered: "Yuantai is still so cute."

Kojima laughed twice, took out the Gallon from his pocket and put it in the opponent's hand, and put a bunch of snacks on the table, and said happily while unpacking the chocolate frog: "It's great! , Every time I take the Hogwarts Express, I can eat a lot of snacks! This is the part I am most looking forward to—does Edogawa want to eat something?"

"..." Kudo looked at Kojima in awe, then shook his head calmly.

——What are you kidding, he won't eat these boring snacks!

After a few minutes.

"...No, Conan, you have to tell us about the relationship between you and Professor Kuroba. I have long felt that something is wrong with you, and I believe in women's intuition." Yoshida Ayumi said sternly, Seo He took a Bibi multi-flavored bean into his mouth. "Merlin, what does it smell like! Uh, I'm going to throw up! Smelly socks? Which genius came up with that?"

The three boys laughed and ate a Bibi multi-flavored bean. Tsuburaya was pleasantly surprised that he chose the barbecue flavor for the first time, and it was not bad. Kudo was lucky enough to choose the strawberry flavor and did not suffer any accidents.And Kojima - he's already started eating other snacks.

After two seconds, Kudo realized what Yoshida said, and quickly waved his hands: "What else can it matter, Professor Kuroba and I have a normal teacher-student relationship."

Tsuburaya rolled his eyes at the side: "Come on, Edogawa, just when we dueled, you weren't... In short, everyone saw that Professor Kuroba's face turned dark when he usually looked like the sky was falling. , He even gave me a look when he took you away, I almost thought he was going to—" Tsuburaya wiped his neck.

Kudo didn't know this, after all, he passed out directly at the time: "Really?"

Kojima nodded frantically while eating the biscuits, and said vaguely: "Really! It's too scary. No one dares to speak to know the aura, but when I hugged you in the past, my movements were super gentle! If you don't believe me You go ask, the people standing on the side have seen it!"

"..."

Yoshida blinked at Ravenclaw whose white and translucent skin unconsciously revealed a layer of tender pink, and said narrowly, "Ah, I see! Conan, you like Professor Kuroba, right?"

"What——" Kudo turned pale in shock, staring at the three Gryffindors with "I understand" faces, and his voice changed a little, "Hey, don't talk nonsense, how could I like that—Professor!"

Yoshida shrugged, and said nonchalantly: "Many people like him, and I know that many seniors and sisters have sent him love letters. Professor Kuroba is simply the existence of the dream lover—" Yoshida exaggerated He gestured, "So it's okay to like him! Don't be shy!"

"..."

"There are also a lot of juniors and younger sisters." Kojima added in time, seeing Edogawa's face gradually darkening, he quickly added, "But I think he likes you!"

"..." Kudo endured and endured, and finally couldn't help it, "Nonsense. I don't like him, and it's even less likely that he likes me."

Well, it's true that he likes Kuroba.But he won't tell these brats!

Tsuburaya blinked, and said hesitantly: "But after sending you to Madam Pomfrey, he kept watch all night...I couldn't even find a chance to go in and see you."

"Ah?" Kudo's eyes widened, he didn't know what to say for a while, and finally said with difficulty, "He just cares about the students."

Yoshida sneered, and squinted at Edogawa Conan who seemed to be struck by lightning: "There are so many fights at Hogwarts, when did you see that Professor Kuroba cared?"

"..."

"Also, don't think we didn't see him hug you at the station! Hell, I think the whole platform saw it, and you can't deny it. He walked you to the station and hugged you, what's your relationship Maybe not normal?" Yoshida squinted his eyes and smiled, propped his chin and looked at Edogawa Conan, whose face was even redder, and said clearly, "Be honest, Mr. Edogawa. You are with Professor Kuroba How long?"
