Chapter 8: Not 1412, but Kidd

"Hey, have you heard about it?"

"What did you hear about it?"

"Oh! I know, it's that 1412..."

"Yes, yes, that's him, that Phantom Thief 1412, he's so cool!"

"Yes, I heard that he can change into someone else's appearance at will, and he can do magic!"

"That's right, he can even fly."

"So cool!"

"You're all wrong!"

In the classroom, three young men who looked like students were discussing the recent topic of criminals, Phantom Thief 1412. The name spread because the wanted order issued by Gordon was codenamed 1412.

The theft of the Star of Adam was a big deal in Gotham, and it spread all over the streets overnight. The term "Phantom Thief" even became one of the most talked-about terms among Gotham citizens.

However, just as these students were talking excitedly, a discordant voice came, and a girl with brown-red hair came over.

"He's not Phantom Thief 1412, his real name is Kidd! Phantom Thief Kidd!"

After saying that, the girl snorted coldly, walked around these classmates and sat in the last row of the classroom, took out her laptop from her bag, and then began to type on the keyboard quickly, no one knew what she was doing.

"She's really a freak, sitting alone in the last row in every class, never participating in any parties, and fiddling with her computer all day long."

"Don't say that, Barbara is the top computer genius in the school, and it's nothing strange to have a weird personality... Not to mention that she's not alone."

After Barbara walked away, several people began to whisper again.

"Hey, everyone, it's not good to say bad things about people behind their backs."

At this time, Maggieson suddenly appeared and said with a smile on his face.

"Look, who's here? It turns out to be Maggieson Feng."

The boy who said Barbara was a freak before screamed.

"I have to admit that I was wrong before. Barbara is not alone. After all, she has you as a knight."

"Enough, Kenpo, I'm not a knight... I'm just a magician."

"Yeah, you are Magison, of course you are a magician."

Maggison stared at Kenpo's eyes for a long time.

"Okay, I give up, man, don't look at me like that, I apologize, I shouldn't say Barbara is a freak."

"What else?"

"What else?!"

Kenpo was confused, what else?

"Remember, it's Kaito Kidd, not Kaito 1412!"

After leaving this sentence, Magison left in style and sat next to Barbara.

"Do you think they have any weird problems? Why are they so obsessed with 'Kid'? It's clearly written in the newspaper that Kaito 1412."

"Who knows..."

"Do you think Kaito Kidd is cool?"

As soon as Magison sat down, he heard Barbara's voice.

"From all the video footage, it can be seen that Kaito Kid has a high level of magic attainment. You should like him very much."

Barbara said as a matter of course. At this time, Maggieson noticed that Barbara's notebook had been playing the video of "Kaito Kid" stealing Adam's Star. There were many reporters present at the time, and they filmed the whole process of Kaito Kid's debut. However, these videos were almost all blocked by the police, and only two or three pictures were circulated.

Barbara's full name is Barbara Gordon, and Jim Gordon is her father. According to the plot, Barbara will go to New York for further studies in the near future, and then return to Gotham to become Batgirl, and finally become Oracle.

Coincidentally, Maggieson's home is just on the same street as Gordon's home. They often played together since childhood, so Barbara and Maggieson actually grew up together.

After Maggieson traveled through time, even if his parents died early and he had never seen them, he still needed to go to school normally. He had to practice disguise and other Kaito skills secretly. Only magic was a skill he could practice openly.

So everyone who knows McGinley thinks he is a magic lover.

Barbara has the best hacker talent in the world. She has been very good at computers since she was a child. Her current level has surpassed their computer professors by many times. Even the GCPD database cannot stop her invasion.

"Really? I don't really care about that Kaito Kidd. I didn't know he might be a magic master."

"...That's right. After all, you can't hack into the GCPD database."

Sweat!

McGinley wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his forehead and said, "Is it really good for you to always hack into the police database? If your father knows about this, do you believe he will really put you in jail?"

"You seem to care about this Kaito. I've never seen you care so much about a criminal before. Could it be... you are conquered by his charm?" McGinley asked with a smug look on your face.

Suddenly, Barbara turned her head and stared at McGinley, saying, "McGinley, I... feel that Kaito Kidd is very strange."

"Strange?"

"Well, he gives me a very familiar feeling, as if I have seen him somewhere... But I am very sure that there is no one like him in my memory."

Hearing this, Maggieson's heart was instantly lifted. After learning how to obtain the system reward, he was not afraid that his identity might be exposed, but now his power was too weak, not much stronger than an ordinary person, and it was far from the time to ignore everything. At least, he had to wait until he was proficient in red magic before he could really not care about ordinary police and the army. At that time, it didn't matter whether he would be recognized or not.

Hearing Barbara's last sentence, Maggieson's heart was instantly relieved.

"Maybe you think too much."

Although he was rich in his heart, Maggieson still kept a poker face on the surface, and his expression did not fluctuate much from beginning to end.

"Hehe, that's true," Barbara suddenly laughed without thinking, as if she remembered something funny, "You definitely don't believe it. There were several times when I even wondered if Kaito Kidd was you. Later, I thought, you often like to peek at girls taking a bath and put toy snakes in the closet of the women's dressing room... How could you be the kind of elegant and noble gentleman thief!"

Barbara covered her mouth and laughed, recounting the things that McGinson had sniffed.

"Barbara! That was many years ago. Don't go too far, okay!"

McGinson looked a little embarrassed, especially when he vaguely felt that the eyes in the classroom were all pointed at him at a certain point in time.

What peek at girls taking a bath! That's to observe the details of women's physiological structure, so as to facilitate possible cross-dressing in the future!

What stuffing a toy snake! That's to exercise your ability to open locks. If you don't put anything in, you will be regarded as a pervert. If you put a toy snake in, others will think you are playing a prank!

There are many other things, all for the purpose of honing the ability of the thief!

Maggieson was too weak to complain.

Before he met Barbara, he had the impression that this "oracle" was very wise and aloof, but in fact, she was wise but only in front of the computer desk. Most of the time, Barbara was the synonym of rebellious and silly.

Just when Maggieson wanted to clarify himself, the lecturer walked into the classroom, and everyone had to stop making noise...
