American comics: Damn it, I’m surrounded by those who worry about their fathers!.

Chapter 596: Facing his inner fears, Loki was exiled!
The thin Thomas' lips moved, but no sound came out.

"Thomas, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you."

Professor Lupin said the other party's voice was too soft and he didn't hear anything.

"Ghost."

Thomas spoke to Lupin quietly and uncomfortably.

"ghost?"

"No, it's not a ghost, it's a female demon."

Thomas said this in a low voice, which immediately caused laughter from the students below.

"Quiet!"

Lupin stopped his students from laughing and said to Thomas, "Well, this is normal. When I was a child, my grandmother often told me the story of the witch in the forest."

Then he turned his gaze to Thomas and asked him, "Thomas, who is your favorite character? I mean singing idols or sports idols. Your mother is an ordinary person. You know these things about the Muggle world, and you also have your favorite stars, right?"

"Yeah, I love Doctor Who."

"very good."

Lupin said to him with satisfaction: "Although I don't know who the Doctor Who you are talking about is, he should be someone who can give you a sense of security. Next, I need you to imagine what Doctor Who looks like in your mind. You can do it, right?"

"Yes, it is."

Lupin nodded and continued, "When the Boggart jumps out of the wardrobe and sees you, Thomas, it will transform into a banshee."

"Then you raise your wand, like this, and say the spell - 'Redcross', and try to imagine what Doctor Who looks like, and if you do it right, the banshee will be forced to look like Doctor Who, or you can imagine Doctor Who with a quill cap, teal clothes, a red handbag, that's it, imagine Doctor Who in your grandmother's clothes."

Then Lupin looked at everyone and said, "If Thomas succeeds, the Boggart will probably turn its attention to us. You all should think about what scares you the most, and then use your brains to think about how to make it look funny..."

The room went quiet, and Mark fell into deep thought, thinking about what could scare him.

Then, in front of everyone's gaze, the wardrobe swung violently.

"Is everyone ready?"

Professor Lupin asked everyone.

All the students nodded and rolled up their sleeves.

"Okay, Thomas, we're going to get started."

Professor Lupin said to everyone, "Everyone, move aside and step back a little to give Thomas room to prepare."

All the students stepped back and stood against the wall.

Thomas was alone facing the wardrobe.

His face was pale and his body was shaking uncontrollably, but he still mustered up the courage to raise his wand and point it at the wardrobe.

"Thomas, I'm going to count to three."

Professor Lupin pointed his wand at the handle of the wardrobe. "One, two, three, come out!"

There was a bang from the end of Lupin's wand, and the wardrobe burst open.

A cold banshee with a cow's tail crawled out of the closet.

The banshee is ugly, with beast-like fangs and scarlet eyes. She has only one nostril on her face, her upper body is that of a woman, and her lower body is that of a frog.

The banshee gave people a sense of fear and uneasiness, causing all the students to hold their breath and not dare to breathe.

The banshee opened her sharp mouth, exuding a terrifying aura, and wandered towards Thomas.

Lupin shouted to Thomas, "Now, Thomas, raise your wand!"

The fairy's mouth opened wide, and a strange sound spread throughout the room. The prolonged crying made Mark's hair stand on end.

"Ray-Ray-Redcross!"

Thomas shouted loudly after hearing Professor Lupin's reminder.

However, to his surprise, Thomas was too nervous and did not point his wand at the banshee.

Just as the banshee was about to rush towards Thomas, a female voice rang out.

"Redcross!"

Raven raised her wand and cast a spell at the banshee.

After Riven made her move, the banshee made a shrill sound, twisted her throat with her hands, and the sound gradually disappeared.

"boom!"

In front of everyone's astonished gaze, the banshee turned into a mouse, spinning in circles chasing her tail.

Seeing that Raven had the situation under control, Lupin immediately raised his wand and sent the Boggart into the closet.

"Very good, Raven did a great job, classmates, I want to give Miss Padrick ten points."

After praising Raven, Lupin looked around the crowd and shouted to Mark, "Mark, you will demonstrate next."

Hearing Lupin calling his name, Mark stood up nervously.

"Mark, can you tell me what you're afraid of?"

Lupin asked, looking down at Mark.

He knew that Mark was also from the Padrick family, and he couldn't help but become curious about Mark's fear points.

"I don't know, sorry, Professor Lupin."

Mark said to Professor Lupin somewhat embarrassedly.

"Well, this is normal. Sometimes it is not easy for us to distinguish the fear in our hearts. I will open the wardrobe next. Mark, raise your wand." Hearing Professor Lupin's words, Mark raised his wand nervously, took a deep breath, and aimed at the shaking wardrobe.

"One, two, three, come out!"

As Professor Lupin cast the spell, the wardrobe door opened with a bang.

Then, in front of everyone's stunned gaze, a bloody corpse rolled out of the closet.

Lupin looked at the corpse that appeared in the closet with a shocked expression on his face.

"This is this?!"

Riven, who was standing by, was also stunned when she saw that it was her father's body rolling out of the closet, and then a surge of anger rushed to her head.

What the hell is this guy Mark doing?!

Loki, who was in a depressed state because Peter had extorted a large sum of money, was dumbfounded when he saw the scene in front of him.

Is this what Mark does?

It turned out that what he was afraid of was his father's death!
However, looking at his father's body, exposed right in front of him, Loki felt very uncomfortable.

Behind the crowd, Tom Riddle, who had been staring at the closet with a calm expression, lost his calm expression when he saw Peter's body in the closet.

Looking at the terrified Mark, Tom shook his head solemnly and left the place where everyone was gathered.

"I'd better not watch it."

Feeling a little uncomfortable, he turned around and walked out of the room.

In addition to feeling uncomfortable about seeing his father's "corpse", he also had a vague desire to escape.

What Tom feared, what he feared most in his heart, he didn't want to know.

Or even if he knew what was horrifying to him, he didn't want others to know, so he had to leave.

On the other side, Raven saw Mark summoning her father's "corpse" and was angry and ready to raise her wand to teach this guy a lesson.

But when she saw Mark covering his head and struggling in pain, she finally softened her heart.

Mark has always been an ordinary person, and all he hopes is that he can help his father.

But what he feared was that he would be unable to help his father because of his own powerlessness.

Mark hopes to protect his father with his own strength, but he is also afraid of the terrible consequences that may result from his own weakness.

"Redcross!"

Without waiting for Raven to react, Professor Lupin cast a spell, turning Peter's "corpse" into a ball of black mist, and finally stuffed the Boggart into the closet.

It didn't occur to him that what Mark feared was death.

And this death was not for Mark himself, but for his father.

Only when he saw the Boggart disappear did Mark come out of his painful mood.

He raised his head, and with red eyes he apologized to Professor Lupin, "I'm sorry, Professor Lupin, I..."

"I understand, Mark. Most of the time we are afraid of death. Sometimes, the fear of death is even greater than death itself."

Lupin came over to comfort him and said, "But most of the time, we should not focus on death itself, but on the preciousness of life behind it."

After whispering a few words of comfort to Mark, Lupin raised his head and looked at the others.

"There were accidents during the two defensive experiments. Who else wants to try next?"

Lupin cast his gaze at the people who were eager to try, and finally his eyes pointed at Loki.

"Student Rocky, maybe you can give it a try."

Hearing Lupin calling his name, Loki shrugged his shoulders, greeted the Hufflepuff classmates next to him, and walked to the podium.

Loki raised his wand with a confident look on his face.

He was confident enough about his inner fear that he could use his mental perception to deceive creatures like the Boggart.

After all, as the "God of Trickery", he has always been the one playing with other people's minds, and no one has been able to peek into his mind and use his mental weaknesses to attack him.

"Student Rocky, can you tell me what you are afraid of?"

Lupin asked him curiously.

"Actually, I have nothing to fear."

Loki said to Lupin confidently: "There are not many things in this world that can scare me."

"Really? We all know that fear isn't a bad thing, but since you are so confident, Rocky, let's get started."

With a bang from Professor Lupin's wand, the wardrobe burst open again.

Peter came out with a gloomy expression, a beard, but an imposing manner.

"Peter"'s eyes darted back and forth over the stunned Loki.

He held Loki's horn crown in his hand, glared at Loki and said, "You are not worthy of inheriting Padrick Farm, Loki. From now on, I will deprive you of your status as the heir to Padrick Farm and the Temple of Asgard."

"I will banish you to a distant land and take away your power. Only those with a kind heart can take up this crown!"

As he said that, Peter threw Loki's horn crown directly out.

Loki stared at the scene in front of him, stunned, and his mentality collapsed.

"Do not!!!"
