The Mutual Aid Club had just been established, and it had already attracted an overwhelming number of students.
So many of the hundreds of forms initially prepared weren't enough, and Rivendell had to use a copying spell to create dozens more.
After collecting all the forms, Annie gave Rivendell the total number.
Over 170 members had joined today.
This was only the first day, and it was Sunday, so many seniors were in Hogsmeade and hadn't received any information.
Back in the dorms, Tom was still surprised by the number of people who had joined.
"I didn't expect so many people to come."
"Don't worry too much, Tom. Many of these people joined out of curiosity.
After a few days, some will definitely leave when the novelty wears off.
Only those who remain will be considered true members."
Tom snorted.
"Hmph... That's their loss! If they regret it later and want to join again, it won't be that easy!"
"Tom, that's wrong.
We need to ensure that members can come and go freely...
Don't forget the original intention of establishing this club," Rivendell smiled.
Tom looked at Levitra in astonishment. "Original intention?"
Wasn't the original intention of establishing this club to find followers?
Are you really planning to start a mutual aid group?
"Tom, you seem to be thinking of something that will undermine unity..."
"No, absolutely not!"
Tom said with a firm gaze.
"I know what you're thinking, Tom... but don't be impatient.
Our goal isn't to force them to stay, but to make them join voluntarily and reluctant to leave.
So, you must manage this club well.
Only when everyone is loyal to us can there be further progress," Levitra said earnestly.
Tom nodded, but soon realized his blind spot. "Wait, you said... me?
Let me run this club?"
"Yes, of course you. I will give you some help in the early stages, but later on, it will depend on your abilities," Levitra said with a smile.
Although Voldemort went mad in his later years, his leadership skills during his student days were unquestionable.
Levitra was certain that if it weren't for him, Tom would have already mixed with the pure-blood wizards and gradually established a leadership position.
"Do you... trust me so much?"
Tom suddenly asked after a long silence.
In his opinion, Levander's handing over the entire society to him was a huge mistake!
Because if he did that, he would have plenty of ways to sideline Levander and turn these members into his own people!
Levander smiled and said, "So-called trust and belief have the same meaning.
They are both the behavior of the weak. For me, trust is unnecessary."
Seeing Levander's meaningful eyes, Tom was shocked again.
He suddenly remembered the first time Levander took the blame for him.
Levander had the ability to change people's perceptions!
Obviously, at that time, he was the main person responsible for that incident! After all, it was Tom who beat people up!
But... Levander could actually make them change the main responsibility of the incident from themselves to him!
Those purebloods who were beaten by him finally unanimously believed that it was Levander, not Tom, who beat them up!
Thinking of this, Tom, who had been a little ambitious, suddenly calmed down.
If I really want to usurp the throne, maybe in the end, those club members will inexplicably perceive the club leader as Li Weide!
In that case, I will be making wedding dresses for Li Weide!
Tom sighed, feeling helpless. Li Weide was right. With his ability, he really didn't need to trust himself...
With Li Weide's style of doing things perfectly, how could he not have thought that he might betray?
After a long silence, Tom said in a muffled voice:
"I know, I will manage it..."
Tom's idea of rebellion was suppressed by himself.
If he didn't rebel, he could still be the second in command. If he rebelled... maybe he would lose everything!
"I know you will manage it.
After all, you promised me before, didn't you?
Your ability will be used for me..." Li Weide said gently.
Tom was silent for a moment before asking again, "You're handing the club over to me...
What about you?
What are you going to do?"
Levid paused for a moment before saying,
"Tom, do you believe wizards have limits?"
"I think... there are limits, right?"
Tom frowned. "I'm not sure..."
"Well, assuming wizards have limits... then, are they the same for every wizard?"
Levid asked again.
Tom replied, "Probably not, because everyone's talents are different... For example, some people are naturally stronger than others..."
"Well... if that's the case, then doesn't it mean that if someone's talents aren't exceptional, no matter how hard they try, they won't be able to surpass those with superior talents?
" Levid asked again.
Tom now realized what Levid was talking about and said, somewhat puzzled, "You want to find a way to break the limits of wizards?
But... we're still young, aren't we?
We're far from reaching our limits."
"Some things require early preparation... Don't forget our intentions.
The reality is this: without overwhelming power, we don't even have the right to speak out," Levid said calmly.
Tom still couldn't quite understand.
Levander said they needed to prepare early, so starting now wasn't premature...
Levander seemed to see through Tom's thoughts.
"Pushing boundaries is never easy.
If it were, there wouldn't be only two figures like Dumbledore and Grindelwald in the world...
Such research would likely take a long time..."
Thinking of Dumbledore and Grindelwald, Tom's eyes gleamed with longing.
If only he could truly be as powerful as Dumbledore and the others...
"Then we'll divide the work!"
Tom's eyes hardened.
"You figure out how to make us stronger, and I... will do my best to expand our influence!"
"Well, in that case, you have to be careful. If you want to win people's support, don't use intimidation on your own people," Levander warned.
If he didn't warn him, Tom might turn his well-established mutual aid society into a Death Eater-like organization...
An organization like the Death Eaters only came together because of Voldemort's power, lacking any cohesive force.
If anything were to happen to Voldemort, the entire organization would crumble...
Therefore, Levitra had to take a look at the charter.
The next day, after lunch,
Levitra and the other core members of the Mutual Aid Society visited Professor Slughorn.
As the society's advisor, Professor Slughorn naturally had to be involved in the development of the charter.
Talents are always attracted to each other, and when Levitra arrived with these people,
Professor Slughorn's face beamed.
These first-year students had the ability to create such a large student club—they were truly talented!
And
most importantly, they were so young! The younger they were, the more talented they were!
He decided that when these children grew up, he would invite them to join his Slug Club!
"Sit down, everyone, and don't be shy," Professor Slughorn said with a smile.
Then he realized there weren't enough chairs in his office.
Just as Professor Slughorn was feeling a bit awkward, Levitra said with a smile, "Everyone, find yourselves a seat."
Levitra casually grabbed a few candies from his pocket and dropped them on the floor.
The next second, the candies transformed into beautiful armchairs!
Professor Slughorn's mouth dropped open.
"Wade, what a beautiful Transfiguration!
The last time I saw a junior Transfiguration master like that was when Dumbledore was a student!"
He was naturally astonished.
Levitra was only a first-year!
Even though he knew Dumbledore seemed to have mentored Levitra before him...
it was still incredible to see someone this young achieve such proficiency.
If Levitra hadn't conjured the chairs right in front of him, he would have thought he was facing a grown wizard.
Now, he finally understood why Dumbledore had trained Levitra as his successor.
"Teacher, you're too kind!
I'm just showing off my skills before an expert..." Levitra said modestly.
"Excessive modesty is the culmination of pride, Wade! Just look at the expressions on your friends' faces and you'll see how brilliant your move was," Professor Slughorn said with emotion.
Levitra turned to look.
Tom, with his usual expression, looked completely at home.
Anne, Grace, Charlie, and the others were all stunned...
"You must teach me this trick, Wade!"
Grace was once again astounded by Levitra's ability.
"Of course, if you need help in any area, you can always come to me.
As long as I know how, I'll help you," Levitra said gently.
"After all, that's why I founded this mutual aid society."
Professor Slughorn watched from the side, a satisfied smile plastered across his face.
He was liking this student even more.
Humble and polite, and never arrogant!
After everyone was seated, Professor Slughorn brought each of them a dessert and tea.
"Regarding the club's charter, I think the simpler the better," Li Weide said first.
"It should revolve around the original purpose of the club: mutual assistance and common progress."
Everyone nodded.
Tom said, "But there's a problem with that. People are prone to laziness.
I think it's very likely that members will just come looking for help, but when it's time to contribute, they won't be willing to."
Tom, having grown up in an orphanage, had witnessed the inherent vulgarity of human nature: many people seek petty gains, but few are truly willing to give freely.
"Tom, you're absolutely right.
So, that's exactly what I'm going to say next," Levid said.
"However, I need your help on this point, Professor."
Slughorn had been watching their discussion with a smile, but after hearing Levid's words, he curiously asked, "How do you want me to help?"
Levid said methodically, "I think we could set up a reward system.
For example, we could create a points list. Successfully helping someone and gaining recognition from that person would earn them a point.
Members' names would then be added to the list based on their points. Of course, this list would be constantly changing.
The limit would be one month, and at the end of the month, members would be rewarded based on their points."
Professor Slughorn said happily, "That's a great idea!
This way, members will be motivated to help others! I'll arrange the prizes then!"
For a Potions Master like Professor Slughorn, he truly had no shortage of money.
Therefore, offering prizes to Levid's club was nothing to him.
However, Levander shook his head and said, "Of course, you can arrange the type of prizes, but you can't pay for them."
Professor Slughorn was slightly taken aback.
"Why not?
I'm your advisor, so it's only fitting for me to fund the activities."
"If possible, we'd still like to rely on our own resources..." Levander said.
Professor Slughorn sighed.
He didn't understand Levander's insistence, but since the kid had said so...
"So how do you plan to fund the club?"
Professor Slughorn asked.
Tom and the others were also a little confused.
The professor was willing to provide funding, so why wouldn't Levander?
However, out of respect for Levander as the club leader, they decided to hear his ideas first.
"I've recently developed a potion formula that I'd like to use to raise funds for the club.
I'm not sure if there's a market for it yet.
Professor, could you please review it for me?"
Levander said, pulling out a piece of parchment from his pocket and handing it over.
"Your own improved potion formula?"
Professor Slughorn's interest was instantly piqued.
Professor Slughorn took the formula and quickly glanced at it.
"Ah!
It's the formula you asked me about before!" Professor Slughorn suddenly realized.
When Levander was getting in touch with him before, he had discussed many potion formulas with him, and this formula was the one he told Levander before.
But now it seems that this formula has been changed a lot.
For a moment, Professor Slughorn's expression became serious.
"What is this formula?"
Grace asked curiously.
"Well... it's about girls."
Levander smiled, "Now on the market, the skin care potions used by witches are sold at a higher price because of the expensive materials.
Therefore... I boldly improved it, striving to save costs while not reducing the effect too much."
"Skin care potion?"
The two girls present were immediately interested.
"Well, but it hasn't been tested yet, so we don't know how effective it will be.
So, let's show it to the teacher first to see if it works.
If it does, we'll see if we can improve it further."
Professor Slughorn was still studying the improved formula.
In truth, Professor Slughorn didn't hold out much hope.
After all, Levitra had only recently started potions, and it was impossible for him to improve the formula just yet.
Professor Slughorn was prepared to lie.
If Levitra's improved potion didn't work, he would say it did, or he could even help Levitra improve it himself and use the formula to earn money for Levitra.
However, the more Professor Slughorn examined the formula, the more incredible it seemed to him.
Because he found that Levitra's improved formula actually seemed to work?
Levander looked at Professor Slughorn's expression and knew that this matter was settled.
Levander was quite confident about this. After all, this was the recipe he took out from the book "Elementary Potions Formula".
It made perfect sense for this book to sell for 5,000 merit points!
In this book, there are several different recipes for almost every potion.
The skin care potion that Professor Slughorn gave me before also has several different recipes in this book!
The one Levander took out can be said to be the most cost-effective one among them!
The word "chairman" is a bit sensitive, I am a little hesitant to use it, and after thinking it over again and again, I decided to change it to "leader" of the club.
