Counterclockwise · Rewrite the Stars

In the next few weeks, Kaito Kuroba occasionally canceled the Defense Against the Dark Arts class due to his physical discomfort. Although no student dared to ask about the professor's physical condition, rumors about his recent serious fluctuations in magic power have been raging privately. up.Dumbledore also became elusive, rarely appearing in the Great Hall.

Kuroba Kaito doesn't care how the students pass it on, as long as it is effective, he intensifies after getting Dumbledore's approval, he doesn't look like a professor at all, he even has leisure time to tease and pretend to respect his teacher on the surface Shinichi Kudo, who looks heavy.

Kudo Shinichi had nothing to say about this.Fortunately, having known each other for so long, he also knew that Hei Yu was not as ostentatious and contemptuous as he appeared on the surface, so he had to let him go.

However, seeing that two or three weeks had passed, there was still no movement at Hogwarts. On the contrary, there were a lot of trivial but strange things happening at the Ministry of Magic, which made Kudo feel a little uneasy.

...could they have made a mistake?

Hogwarts wasn't the target?

Kuroba and Kudo didn't know what Dumbledore was thinking—this man just approached Kuroba Kaito once alone, and gave him the right to "act wildly", and kept his mouth shut about other things, as usual, he showed his inscrutable Smiling face, drinking cloyingly sweet tea let Kuroba go.

Kudo thought hard, and came to a conclusion: Dumbledore is someone who practiced white magic. If he really had no connection with that mysterious organization... then Hogwarts would have died long ago.

So don't worry about it, and you can't manage it.

After all, he is known as the representative of the contemporary bright side, his strength is unfathomable, and he is also the principal of Kudo and Kuroba. The two subconsciously feel that although Dumbledore is not very reliable, he seems to know everything. The ability to protect himself must still be there, so he didn't bother him.

There was no trace of the person hiding in the dark, but Kudo received a letter from an unknown source on a windless night.

The owl dutifully handed the letter to Kudo, and before he opened it, it flapped its wings and disappeared into the night.

— A letter that does not require a reply.

Kudo frowned slightly, and the bad feeling became stronger and stronger.He looked over and over at the unopened letter in his hand, there was no identity information on it, and he took out his wand to check it carefully several times, confirming that there were no known spells that he could detect, just the most ordinary letter. After receiving the letter, he took out the thin letter paper inside.

Dear Edogawa (or do you prefer Kudo?),

So glad we're meeting again.

There are not many days left in Hogwarts. Although the stay is a bit boring, it is interesting to see you and Professor Kuroba interacting for more than half a year.Originally, I planned to leave, but in view of the fact that you have put so much effort into putting on so many good shows for me, let's be formal and authentic.

Thurs 9pm, Fencing Club.

you alone.

See you soon!

PS I hope I don't see other people that day, otherwise I can't promise what I will make ^^

CV

Kudo stood up abruptly, almost knocking over the oil lamp on the table, staring at the piece of paper and couldn't help cursing.

Fortunately, there was no one in the dormitory at this time, and he no longer had the mood to cover up his anger and panic.

--how is this possible?

he thought.

——How could this person hiding in the dark know his identity?

He paced back and forth in the dormitory, took deep breaths, forced himself to hold back his impatience, and read the text that contained information between the lines several times, summing up the following points in a few words:

[-]. The other party knew his true identity, but did not tell the organization;

[-]. The other party not only knows Kudo Shinichi, but also Kudo Shinichi has met him;

[-]. The other party needs to find him alone if he has something to do.

Strange.

It's so weird.

Not to mention that he didn't meet anyone he knew at Hogwarts except for a few professors. If the other party clearly knew that they were setting up a trap to find him (let's treat him as a man first), how could he? Show up at this time?Why didn't he report his identity to the organization or just get rid of himself?

To go or not to go.

In fact, Kudo already had the answer in his heart.

In order to find out their true intentions, and to find out how he became like this, even if there is only one chance in a thousand, he will go to this appointment, but...

Can't tell Kuroba?

He read the letter again and stroked his chin.

In fact, I didn't say that I couldn't, it would be fine if I didn't show up.

After Kudo told Kuroba his thoughts, he really got strong opposition from that guy, and that rowdy posture was almost going to the room and making a noise in Hogwarts.

"It's too dangerous, I don't agree!"

"Who knows who that person is, he didn't want to touch you before, what if he is about to run away and suddenly thinks you deserve to die?"

"You know it's a fire pit but you still want to jump into it. Are you ashamed to say you graduated from Ravenclaw?"

Fortunately, he also knew that it was impossible for Kudo Shinichi not to go, and this questioning was also to make Kudo think clearly whether he really thought it was worth taking the risk.No matter what Kudo said, he couldn’t let go of this opportunity. After coaxing him for a long time, he reluctantly agreed, muttering, “I warned you that I won’t care if something really happens. You", angrily drove the person away.

Kudo was pushed out of the door forcibly, and was almost smashed in the face by the door panel, so he could only touch his nose at the tight door resentfully.

If you care, you care...

Tch, awkward childish ghost.

He realized belatedly on the way back to the Ravenclaw tower that maybe Kaito Kuroba's exaggerated tossing was mostly to divert his attention from being so anxious and tense.

Gee.

... quite useful.

Thurs. night rolls around quickly.

Before he reached the door of the sword training department, he heard the sound of training coming from inside.He slowed down and his heartbeat gradually increased.

Who will it be?He couldn't help guessing.

It was...someone he knew.

The door was not closed, and his eyes naturally fell on the woman whose back was facing him in the middle of the huge training ground.

She looked no more than seventeen or eighteen years old at best, with bright and smooth long golden hair, combed into a loose ponytail by her casually, with a few strands of hair hanging naturally on her forehead.The most common pure white training clothes were worn by her as if they had become expensive custom-made clothes, highlighting the girl's beautiful curves.She seemed completely unaware that there was a person standing by the door looking at her. She practiced a basic set of swords without distraction before she put away her sword. She grabbed the towel beside her and wiped her sweat. She raised her head and muttered. Gulu drank half a bottle of water, turned his head and showed a charming smile to the silent Edogawa: "Ah, you are here."

Kudo Shinichi didn't know what to say for a while, so he nodded with a straight face.

He knew this man.

Chris Wynyard.A seventh grader in Slytherin, the head of the fencing department, a well-deserved school belle.

Edogawa once took a look at this star-studded girl from afar.It seemed that he was preparing to go to the next classroom for herbal medicine class, and a group of Slytherins in the seventh year just happened to come down the floating stairs next door.The little boys around him heard low voices of discussion, saying things like "the goddess is so beautiful" and "I really want to join the swordsmanship club", so he couldn't help but take a look.At that time, he only felt that the seventh grade girl's appearance was a little familiar, and she was really beautiful, and he knew the name from the students around him.

At best, this can only be regarded as knowing her. How could she know herself?

Chris waved to him with a smile, one hand was still on the hilt of the sword, and said in a relaxed tone: "Come in, why are you standing so far away?"

... I'm afraid you'll mess with me.

Chris seemed to see what he was thinking, chuckled, and said nonchalantly, "I don't need to bother you to see Merlin, do I, Mr. Chief."

……Too.

Makes sense.

He was actually persuaded.

So Kudo walked in, closed the door thoughtfully, stopped five meters away from Chris, cleared his throat, and asked cautiously: "Who are you, and why do you know my identity?"

Chris blinked, pondered for a while, and suddenly threw the sword in his hand directly in the direction of the boy.

Kudo's breathing was stagnant, and he caught the hilt of the sword with his backhand completely relying on his subconscious movements, and took a sword flower with his hand, blocking the long sword in front of him, as if in a defensive posture.Chris whistled, picked up a similar sword from the side, tilted his head, and said with a smile: "Hit one?"

"Will you tell me if you hit me?"

Chris curled his lips, looking a little aggrieved: "Why, you won't fight me without telling you?"

Kudo felt that he couldn't keep up with this person's train of thought.

So he nodded sincerely.

"OK then."

...she actually agreed.

Kudo briefly felt a sense of unreality.

But soon he didn't have the time to think about these issues—the blond girl attacked with a sword, and slashed down with a fierce and murderous aura.Kudo's eyes were fixed, and when the sword was about to fall, he took a step to the right, and at the same time swung the sword upward with his right hand to resist——

"bass--!"

There was a crisp buzzing sound from the collision of metal, and the two of them took a step back at the same time to resist the pressure from the opposite side.Kudo felt that his wrist was a little numb from the shock, but this feeling was nothing.He showed a small smile at the girl's flawless face——

In the next second, Kudo changed his previous defensive posture, and his whole body seemed to become a sword. His moves were crisp and sharp, and the edge of the sword was chilled. Every move and style was so clean that there was no unnecessary movement. The girl beheaded.There was also a smile on Chris's face as if he was a match, he licked the corner of his mouth, and he showed no weakness. Showdown under magic.

At this moment, only the sound of two swords colliding is left in the huge fencing department.

Finally, Kudo caught the flaw exposed by Chris, supported his body that was about to expose his weakness due to exhaustion, gritted his teeth and slammed up——!

The tip of the sword in Kudou's hand landed firmly on the girl's throat. The blond girl didn't look very good either. The sword in her hand was shot down and landed on the ground not far away.As long as Kudo moved a little further, his blade would be able to cut through one of the opponent's most vulnerable places.

They stared at each other silently, and neither of them moved for a while.

Chris raised an eyebrow.

Kudo looked at her expressionlessly, as if I'll keep doing this until you speak.

Chris sighed.

"It's so indifferent, Mr. Chief Auror." She shrugged helplessly as if she didn't care that her life was being held in the hands of Kudo Shinichi, "It's not a gentleman's behavior to treat a woman so violently."

Kudo smiled unmoved: "I'm really not a gentleman."

Chris laughed tremblingly, and the sword cut off a few strands of her hair: "Okay, okay, you win, Xiaoxinyi. You are still so cute."

"..."

Xiaoxinyi?

... What a bad taste.

She reached out and took off her hair tie, and the charming golden waves spread out like a waterfall, showing him a bright smile.At that moment, Kudo felt that he had indeed seen her somewhere.

"My name is Belmode." Chris Wynyard—no, this time he changed his name to Belmode—said softly, "The other person you saw in the Forbidden Forest that day was me."
