Under Lupin's efforts, the Boggart was driven back into the wardrobe.
The people present at the scene also gradually calmed down their excited emotions.
As for John...
This guy became completely numb after reacting, squatting in a corner, not responding to anyone who spoke to him, even when Link went over, it was the same.
But this was also understandable.
After all, the scene that had just occurred would likely soon spread throughout the entire Hogwarts, and that was enough to make him socially dead.
Especially since, that Ravenclaw girl who had escaped hadn't even returned to the classroom yet.
Lupin looked at John with a somewhat helpless smile, and then began directing the students to continue class.
From then on, the course proceeded much more normally.
The classmates lined up to "face their fears," and then used Riddikulus Riddikulus to turn the physical manifestations of their fears into various comical and amusing objects, finally causing everyone to laugh heartily.
This time, Link also broadened his knowledge.
Someone once said, the sorrows and joys of people are not interconnected.
Link now thought that fears were the same.
Because the things everyone feared were simply too many.
Some feared cats, dogs, rats, common animals, and some feared zombies, ghosts, clowns, dream killers like Freddy. Some even feared dead objects like coffee machines or toilet seats.
Of course, Snape, as the most annoying professor in all of Hogwarts, also appeared several times.
To this, Link could only sigh, the world is big, and there is nothing strange that doesn't exist.
But watching these imagined fear objects get turned into all sorts of weird and funny shapes, and then finally disappear, was still quite delightful.
At least, ever since John shouted "I love you," the laughter in the classroom hadn't stopped.
"Link, it's your turn."
Accompanied by Lupin's words, the laughter around finally came to a pause.
Everyone focused intently, watching Link.
As the fierce figure who had even overshadowed Harry Potter, the Savior, in recent years, everyone was curious what exactly Link would fear.
This was also one of the original reasons why the "Face Your Fears Class" was popular, it allowed you to see the true face of those normally high-above-you people.
And under the expectant gazes of the crowd, Link didn't hesitate in the slightest and directly walked to the front of the wardrobe without expression.
Only, unlike before, when Lupin unlocked the wardrobe, the Boggart inside didn't come out this time.
This caused a strange silence in the classroom.
Link nodded in satisfaction.
He had already activated Occlumency before coming up here, precisely to test how strong the Boggart's mind-reading ability actually was.
And judging by now, this kind of third-rate dark magic creature clearly couldn't pose any threat to him.
At the same time, beside him, Lupin's expression was a bit helpless.
Before officially taking the professor post, he had already learned some information about Link from Dumbledore, and he was aware that Link knew Occlumency.
Moreover, Link's history with multiple souls made him even more unsuitable than someone like Harry, who had a tragic childhood, to face the Boggart.
Because this could very likely bring him extraordinary mental stimulation.
Sighing, Lupin stepped forward to explain, "Classmates, this Boggart has already been used for three lessons. Perhaps it's too tired now. Please try to understand."
After saying that, he leaned toward Link's side and whispered, "Link, I know you don't quite like this kind of situation. Why don't you step down for now? I won't blame you."
Hearing this, Link glanced at Lupin.
To be honest, Link didn't have much resistance toward revealing his fear object in front of everyone.
He simply didn't care about others' opinions.
Otherwise, when he was suspected of being Slytherin's heir last year, he wouldn't have been so indifferent.
Besides, even he himself didn't know what his deepest fear was.
Since he now knew that the Boggart couldn't cause any real threat, why not court death a little and try?
After thinking for a moment, Link finally said to Lupin, "Professor Lupin, let me try. I'm also curious what I'm really afraid of."
"Then be careful." After saying that, Lupin retreated again.
Link also deactivated Occlumency.
The next moment, the wardrobe began to shake violently.
This made the surrounding students excited.
Over the course of the class, they had already figured out a pattern, the more violently the wardrobe shook, the more terrifying and horrifying the thing that would come out.
And the wardrobe facing Link was shaking violently enough to be called the most intense of the entire class.
But very quickly, everyone was disappointed.
Because a moment later, the wardrobe door opened.
And it didn't open in the expected way like being "kicked open" or "blown open with a bang," but rather opened in an extremely ordinary manner, so much so, the speed at which the door swung open even gave off a faint sense of gentleness.
Then, a figure wearing a sharp suit and shiny leather boots emerged from within the wardrobe.
This person looked exactly like Link. But his expression and every gesture gave off a wicked and manic aura.
The moment he saw that figure, Link's face changed.
Although the other party was acting relatively normal this time, Link just knew, that was Mike.
Link was mentally prepared for this, since Mike had always been a thorn in his heart.
And this time, the suited Link obviously didn't show up just to take a stroll.
He clapped off non-existent dust from his body, then gave Link a rebellious smile and said, "************!"
Hearing this, Link's fist instantly clenched tightly.
Because what the other said was in another language, and even in the dialect from Link's previous life's hometown.
What he meant was, "Your efforts are meaningless. Because all these things will eventually be taken by me!"
Looking at the scene on the floor, the surrounding crowd finally couldn't hold back and started discussing.
"So Link is afraid of himself!"
"Tch! Isn't that pretty normal? With Link's strength and personality, who else would he fear besides himself?"
"That's true!"
"But what exactly did that suited Link just say? Why didn't I understand?"
"Probably Parseltongue, right? Did you forget Link is a snake-tongue?"
"But that's not important, what I want to see is whether Link will use Riddikulus Riddikulus next. If that suited Link puts on a dress or wears clown makeup, hehehe!"
"Really looking forward to it! Hehehe!"
Unlike the crowd still excitedly waiting for Link in women's clothing, Lupin, looking at Link's increasingly dark expression, suddenly had a very bad premonition.
'Oh no! He's about to lose control!'
Lupin felt a sudden crisis in his heart, quickly raised his wand and shouted, "Everyone! Evacuate the classroom immediately! Link! Calm down!"
Lupin's voice exploded like thunder inside the classroom. But at this moment, Link was already completely immersed in his world, he couldn't hear it anymore.
After facing the Boggart, Link finally understood what his fear object was.
It wasn't Mike, and it wasn't Voldemort either.
It was the existence of himself, being taken over by Mike.
Clearly, in this life Link had planned to live well. Clearly, in this life Link had found relatives. Clearly, in this life Link had met someone he truly liked. Clearly…
But in the end, was all this just making wedding clothes for someone else?
"Based on what!?"
A hoarse tone like a beast's roar came from Link's mouth.
But in the face of Link's questioning, the suited Mike just laughed with a "pfft," his face full of disdain.
As if the question Link asked was stupid, not even worth answering.
This made the fury in Link's heart finally erupt uncontrollably.
Magic power surged continuously from within Link's body, and gradually formed a vague, massive serpent shadow behind him.
The ebony wand also silently appeared in Link's hand.
At this moment, it was trembling slightly, as if it also sensed its master's anger, unable to contain its excitement.
That Boggart in the form of suited Mike finally became afraid.
It showed terror on its face, its body twisting, wanting to flee back into the wardrobe.
But, it was too late.
The next moment, Link raised his wand.
"Sectum… Sempra!"
As if receiving a command, the previously faint magical shadow behind Link frantically poured into the ebony wand, and after a brief transformation, became pure cursed magic power.
Then, a formless blade over 20 meters in diameter formed in an instant and shot toward the Boggart.
Buzz!
Accompanied by a piercing hum, the Boggart, along with the wardrobe, was instantly slashed into nothingness.
But that formless blade had no intention of stopping.
It carried Link's boundless fury and continued forward, directly tearing a massive hole in the wall, cutting a terrifying trajectory through the sky, and finally slicing into the distant Astronomy Tower.
Under the terrified gazes of everyone in the classroom, the recently repaired, and supposedly reinforced, observatory was once again sliced clean in two.
