Hogwarts: This Dark Lord is so evil

With Tom's fall, the battle ended.

Even Dumbledore was stunned for a moment before he reacted.

“Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!” Dumbledore took the lead in applauding.

Dumbledore's words brought the others back to their senses.

Without Dumbledore needing to say more, everyone applauded involuntarily.

Even those pure-bloods who were initially hostile to Levid and Tom had to admire this battle.

“Without exaggeration, this duel can be called the most exciting duel between students in Hogwarts history,” Dumbledore praised.

Dumbledore waved his wand lightly, and all the shattered objects slowly returned to their original state.

Actually, the reason Dumbledore skipped the Dark Creatures chapter and went straight to dueling techniques in today's Defense Against the Dark Arts class was entirely to create a stage for Levid and Tom's performance.

As long as they demonstrated strength far exceeding their peers in a public setting, those who originally wanted to deal with them in secret would naturally have to reconsider.

And those who originally wanted to join Levid and Tom but were hesitant would become more confident after witnessing their strength.

The bad habits of Slytherin have a long history, and non-pure-blood wizards who join Slytherin don't really have a good time.

If you want to change the long-standing bad habits of Slytherin, the emergence of Levid's small group is a good opportunity.

Dumbledore did this, firstly, to support Levid's small group and stir up the stagnant water of Slytherin.

Secondly, it was to prevent Levid and his friends from being isolated by their classmates throughout their Hogwarts student life.

Levid understood, so he and Tom had a performance match that was a bit exaggerated.

However, Dumbledore also truly saw the strength and characteristics of these two children because of this.

In Dumbledore's view, the fighting styles of these two children can be said to have their own characteristics.

Although Tom's strength is much weaker, his understanding of each spell is very thorough.

Even in very critical moments, he can remain calm, and his casting movements will not be deformed as a result, which shows how strong his psychological endurance is.

And staying calm at all times is the most critical factor in a wizarding duel, coupled with his extraordinary learning speed…

Dumbledore felt that, given time, Tom's strength would definitely not be weaker than his own.

As for Levid… Dumbledore felt that his spellcasting characteristics were even more amazing.

Levid almost never sticks to any one spell in battle!

His whimsical spellcasting does not affect the strength of the spell at all.

One spell after another appeared like flowing clouds and flowing water, smooth and fast!

If this wasn't a performance match, Dumbledore estimated that Tom might not have lasted even five seconds before falling under Levid's tidal wave of attacks!

If Tom is a genius, then Levid is a genius among geniuses…

……

Although the performance of this performance match was a bit exaggerated, the effect was unexpectedly good…

Although the Slytherin pure-bloods were still afraid to approach, other non-pure-bloods were already daring to come over.

Even if they didn't dare to directly find Levid and Tom, they were already daring to talk to Charlie and Henry.

After Levid and Tom's sparring, Dumbledore arranged for the students to spar in pairs.

However, unlike Levid and Tom, even though these students had learned the Disarming Charm, the effect was still terrible when they sparred.

Only a few people could use the spell normally.

Some people's Disarming Charm even hit the people next to them.

And some people were so nervous that they couldn't even successfully cast a spell.

There was also a strange scene where two people used their wands to cast sparks at each other…

Even more people simply gave up their wands and then charged at each other, waving their fists.

After seeing these students sparring, Dumbledore understood even more how outstanding Levid and Tom were.

When most people couldn't even cast a normal spell, they were already able to fight like Aurors…

……

Levid's first Defense Against the Dark Arts class ended quickly.

When other students looked at them again, their eyes had undergone fundamental changes.

Only after they had personally tried dueling did they truly feel how difficult it was to fight like Levid and Tom…

You must know that they couldn't even use a Disarming Charm well, but Levid and Tom, who were about the same age as them, could use so many spells!

Levid could even use those spells silently…

As usual, Levid and his partners were behind everyone else, planning to wait until everyone had left before they left.

This could effectively prevent anyone from noticing their whereabouts.

Suddenly, a girl with braids from Gryffindor walked over, the very girl named McLaggen who had provoked Tom.

Tom raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw her.

She stood in front of Tom and Levid, took a deep breath, and then said: “I… I admit that you are indeed stronger than me, but one day, I will catch up with you!”

For someone as proud as her, admitting that others are stronger than herself is really a first for her.

Tom sneered and was about to retort.

But Levid put his hand on his shoulder and stopped him from speaking.

Tom snorted and turned his head away.

Levid said gently: “Miss McLaggen, I have great faith in your abilities. But, you don't need to be hostile to us, do you?”

“We can completely eliminate unnecessary infighting, become friends, and then make progress together, instead of being hostile to each other.”

McLaggen was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but then shook her head, “You are Slytherins, and I am a Gryffindor. How can Gryffindors be friends with Slytherins?”

Levid smiled and said, “You are wrong to say that. Who said Slytherins and Gryffindors can't be friends? Don't you know that the four founders of Hogwarts were all close friends with each other? As their disciples, why can't we be good friends?”

“This…,” McLaggen was momentarily speechless. “But… but…”

“Miss McLaggen, Levid is right.” Dumbledore didn't know when he had come over, “Whether Slytherin or Gryffindor, they are all Hogwarts students.”

“Although these two colleges have always had a competitive relationship, no one has ever stipulated that students from these two colleges cannot be friends.”

“In fact, I have many friends who are Slytherins. For example, your Potions professor, Professor Slughorn, he and I, a Gryffindor, have been old friends for many years.”

“Miss McLaggen, one person's efforts are no match for the joint efforts of a group of people. As a professor, I still hope that you can reduce infighting and make progress together, just like Levid said. After all, you are classmates, not enemies.”

McLaggen fell silent for a moment.

Dumbledore suddenly said, "Vader, are you aware that Hogwarts has quite a few student clubs? With just an application, even a first-year student can establish their own club."

Leifield's eyes lit up. This was a good idea...

Wait, Dumbledore is actually encouraging me to start a club? Isn't he afraid that I'll cultivate a faction now and cause trouble later?

Actually, what Leifield didn't know was that before Voldemort appeared, Dumbledore didn't have such great reservations in this regard.

Moreover, he had such trust in Leifield...

"Could I establish a dueling practice club?" Leifield asked tentatively.

"Of course, although Hogwarts already has such a student club, it usually only accepts upper-year students. I think it wouldn't hurt to have another dueling club that lower-year students can also participate in..." Dumbledore winked and said.

No mistakes, one first, one release, one internal, one content, one at a time!

Leifield said happily, "That's great! Tom, perhaps we shouldn't limit ourselves to a dueling club... How about we establish a club that helps each other? For example, if a student who joins has poor grades, then students with good grades in the club can provide assistance, and for students interested in dueling, if they want to become stronger, we can also provide help..."

Tom couldn't help but widen his eyes. Understanding what Leifield was thinking, he immediately realized that this was a huge opportunity!

And when Dumbledore heard that Leifield wanted to establish a club that helped each other, a hint of happy smile appeared on his face.

"Leifield, you really are a good boy! If your student club is established, it will definitely help more students progress together!"

"Professor, you flatter me. This is also thanks to your reminder. Tom, how about we submit the application this weekend?" Leifield said.

"Okay!" Tom immediately nodded.

A student club that helps each other? Isn't this a golden opportunity to develop followers?!

Tom felt very incredulous. After making such a mistake, Dumbledore still looked so gratified...

Leifield turned to McLaggen, who had been silent, and said, "Miss McLaggen, although I don't know if you're willing to become our friend, I still hope you can join if our club is established. Since it's about helping each other, we need more outstanding students like you to join!"

McLaggen couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this, "Leifield, you really don't seem like a Slytherin..."

"Then, Miss McLaggen, you mean..."

"You can call me Grace, Grace McLaggen."

...

"Let's go, let's go to the old place."

Only after his partners were the only ones left in the classroom did Leifield speak softly.

The old place was naturally the Room of Requirement.

Starting today, he had to improve the strength of his team members there.

In the short term, even if they couldn't reach Tom's level, they had to at least reach the level of ordinary pure-blood family children like Abraxas Malfoy.

As the first members of his faction, they couldn't even use a levitation charm...

The group quietly returned to the Room of Requirement.

Alphard plopped down on a cushion, "You guys are amazing! I almost thought you wanted to tear down the classroom!"

Henry also said with emotion, "Yeah... Honestly, if Professor Dumbledore hadn't helped us block a lot of the spells that accidentally flew out during your fight, we would have all been lying down."

"I also want to be as strong as you!" Charlie clenched his fists, his eyes shining.

If he could also be as strong as Leifield... No, even if he only had Tom's ability, those arrogant pure-bloods would definitely not dare to bully him like that!

Henry and Alphard, upon hearing this, also looked at Leifield with fervent eyes.

Leifield smiled and said, "Isn't that the purpose of us gathering here? Also, we need to get that student club up and running as soon as possible! And we have to do it well! That way, more and more talents will rally around us!"

The partners all nodded.

Tom suddenly said, "That McLaggen... Do we really have to recruit people from other houses into our club?"

Speaking of that Gryffindor girl, Tom still had some reservations, after all, she had troubled him several times.

Leifield said, "Tom, you need to have a broader perspective. If you want to achieve your goals more easily, you need to unite all forces that can be united. Whether the other party is a Slytherin or a Gryffindor, as long as they can become our partner and provide us with assistance, what does it matter which house they're from?"

Tom was still too young, and he still liked to treat people and handle things based on his own likes and dislikes. He couldn't think of things too deeply.

However, Tom was very smart. After hearing Leifield's reminder, he immediately understood the key.

Soon, the partners began to get busy.

Charlie and Annie were responsible for guiding Henry and Alphard, letting them master the Levitation Charm first...

This was also Leifield's request.

How could you expect them to master more and more difficult attack spells if they couldn't even master the Levitation Charm?

Leifield and Tom, on the other hand, sat aside and prepared to plan the student club they were going to establish.

However, Leifield quickly noticed that Tom's gaze towards him was a little evasive. In fact, after fighting Tom just now, his gaze towards him had become like this, which made Leifield very puzzled.

Leifield couldn't help but ask, "Tom, what's wrong? You've been acting strange since just now."

"You..." Tom hesitated, and finally said, "Did you want to kill me just now?"

"I wanted to kill you? Why would you think that?" Leifield asked in confusion.

"Just now, that flock of flying birds of yours... almost killed me!"

Tom felt lingering fear when he thought of the attack just now, and when he thought of Leifield's decisiveness last night, Tom, who cherished his life, had already begun to panic.

"Oh... so that's what you're talking about..." Leifield suddenly understood.

In fact, he had always been holding back when fighting Tom, but he just didn't control himself for a moment at the end...

He had no intention of killing Tom at all!

So, Leifield said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Tom... It's very difficult to master the power of stepping over ants without hurting them. However, I'm glad that you managed to dodge it, which shows that you have indeed grown..."

Tom's face was full of black lines. What? Am I a little ant in front of you?

Damn it, you dog thief! Why are you telling such a big truth!?

However... remembering the three miserable goblins and giants last night, Tom's agitated emotions immediately calmed down.

Tom said calmly, "Leifield, you apologized well, but don't do it again next time..."
