Slytherin Magic Study Group

When Lester returned to the Slytherin Common Room, all the first-year Slytherin went to greet him.

"Brother Lai!" Jiedi asked excitedly, "What are your orders for gathering the brothers this time?"

Last time Lester gathered everyone for a room check, now Lester's called in all the first-year students? Is he trying to fly?

Lester glanced around and, seeing that all the first-year Slytherin were present, said with satisfaction:

"Dear students, I've called you all here today not for one reason, but for one other thing."

"That is to lead everyone to become stronger!"

Many Slytherin students, including Malfoy, rioted.

Knowledge monopolies were not uncommon in that era.

In the Wizarding World, pure-blooded individuals monopolize various high-end, high-damage spells and do not allow these spells to spread in the market.

Half-blood wizards or Muggle-born without a background can only improve themselves by relying on the meager magic they learn in school.

That's not all. Even Pure-blood wizard with magical lineages cannot receive a proper education at Hogwarts.

Often, it was only when they returned to their families that their elders would personally teach them how to fight.

Muggle-born fared even worse, because their wands were Trace, disqualifying them from even casting spells outside of school.

Of course, there are very few Muggle-born in Slytherin, at least not in Lester's class.

"I know that many of you are secretly practicing Dark Magic," Lester asserted. "In fact, you even have Dark Magic books that you've secretly brought from your families in your dorm rooms."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of several young wizards born into pure-blood noble families changed.

Malfoy, Pansy, Goyle, Crabbe —the offspring of a high-ranking Pure-blood families— secretly study Dark Magic every night.

Lester leaned back in his chair and said slowly, "It's only natural to learn Dark Magic to become stronger. In fact, I know quite a bit of Dark Magic, even more than you do."

"You've been secretly practicing Dark Magic on your own, your progress must be less than ideal, right?" Lester asked, though his question was phrased with absolute certainty.

At this point, Lester revealed his true intentions, stating directly, "I plan to establish a Slytherin Magic Study Group, with the aim of helping each other better."

"Once you join the Slytherin Magic Study Group, we're all on the same side. I'll regularly teach you how to use spells in battle, and I can even teach you powerful Dark Magic free of charge."

"Of course, let me make this clear from the start: if you join the Slytherin Magic Study Group, we'll be on the same page, and we'll solve any problems together."

"However, if anyone betrays the organization, then don't blame me Lester, for being ruthless."

As he spoke, Lester intentionally released a trace of murderous intent from his body.

The previously fanatical first-year Slytherin wizards regained their composure under the intimidation of this hint of murderous intent.

Many of the young Slytherin wizards are well aware of Lester's current actions.

He teaches everyone how to fight with spells, and even teaches them powerful Dark Magic for free. Lester, who slaps people all the time, suddenly become a great philanthropist?

Especially the Malfoy and other children born into Death Eaters family, were extremely familiar with Lester's tactics.

This is exactly what Voldemort did in Slytherin back then!

The thought of repeating his father's feat filled Malfoy with excitement.

My father joined a small group in Slytherin during his student days, and only became Death Eaters after graduation.

If his father could succeed, how could Draco possibly be any worse?

"I'm in!" Malfoy declared his loyalty. "Lyther, I'm Slytherin Magic Study Group. From now on, I'll follow you!"

After Malfoy pledged his loyalty, Goyle, Crabbe, and Pansy naturally abandoned their reserve and all joined in.

Jiedi, Kitty, Miti Mitchie—needless to say, they were Lester's original associates from the very beginning.

Seeing that these troublemakers from Slytherin had joined Lester's magic study group, the other young Slytherin wizards no longer hesitated and hurriedly expressed their loyalty to Lester.

Lester called all the first-year Slytherin over.

It seems like they're letting them join voluntarily, but if everyone else joins Lester's magic study group and he's the only one who doesn't, wouldn't he be isolated by the entire grade?

These young wizards were certain that the magic study group led by Lester was not learning proper magic.

If they ever lack practice partners, the first person they'll turn to is definitely someone who hasn't joined the organization yet.

Therefore, in order to protect themselves, everyone nominally joined Lester's magic study group.

After all, the benefits inside are quite generous. You get to Dark Magic and have a powerful figure like Lester teach you how to fight. It's definitely worth it.

For the shrewd little snake, Lester was definitely not a bad deal.

Malfoy, in particular, is still feeling quite pleased with himself.

"I can't tell my father about this. I must achieve something great and give him a surprise."

As for the other young wizards, whether or not they were truly subservient to Lester, they all wore expressions of joy.

For Slytherin, joining a student organization that helps them become stronger is not a bad thing.

As for Lester, he simply stared at the system panel without making a sound.

[Ding! The first-year Slytherin wizard has been won over (16/20)]

Even though Lester managed to recruit all the first-year Slytherin wizards into his organization, the mission was still not complete, something he had anticipated.

"I'm very happy that you've joined our mutual-help organization," Lester said with a smile. "I'm planning to hold a party on Friday night in an abandoned classroom to celebrate the founding of our organization. Please make sure you all attend."

Simply verbally recruiting these little snakes into the organization won't guarantee that some will truly submit to you.

So Lester decided to follow Azkaban's old path, using both harsh measures and sweet promises, and relying on his oratory skills to completely sway these young wizards.

He refused to believe that if he could fool even the prisoners of Azkaban, he couldn't fool these young Slytherin wizards!
