What a joke! Jaina's plan to expand her influence in the Ministry of Magic is about to begin, and she needs Levin to recruit talent for her. How can she suspend the courses of the Academy of Knowledge at this time?
“But… if the course continues, even if you can persevere, the other wizards won’t be able to handle it,” Penelope argued.
Indeed, the problem still needs to be solved.
“I think we can slightly modify the curriculum to reduce the learning burden on the members, rather than increase the learning tasks,” Levin pondered, devising a solution.
"Perhaps we could make the rules of the Erudite Society more specific and the division of labor clearer, so that everyone can have an easier time," Hermione suggested, pausing her pen.
Levin nodded in agreement.
Decentralization is indeed a good way to reduce workload—a concrete example being Levin himself.
These days, Penelope is the most exhausted student during each Levin class.
"Oh, so you have another brilliant idea?" Penelope raised her eyebrows, clearly somewhat repulsed by the little witch.
It's worth noting that when the Academy was still a training camp, most of its rules and regulations were established by her with Levin's help.
But Hermione had no prior achievements, yet upon joining, she immediately entered the core team of the Erudite Society and even suggested dividing classes.
The subsequent first reforms all stemmed from Hermione's suggestions.
This made her feel a strong sense of crisis.
Hermione became, in her eyes, a scheming woman who wanted to replace her.
"Don't do that, Penelope."
Shireira patted her hand gently, reminding her.
As one of the witches closest to Levin, she spent an entire summer with Hermione and can be said to know Hermione quite well.
This little witch is clever, but she's not very cunning and tends to be objective, focusing on the issue rather than the person.
She felt Penelope's concerns were completely unnecessary.
“Alright, alright, let’s hear what ‘Ms. Know-It-All’ has to say.” Since even Cirira supported her, Penelope had no choice but to go along with it.
And a set of standard systems and procedures.
After Levin expressed his desire for her to take over the administrative work of the Faculty of Sciences after Penelope left, Hermione bought a lot of Muggle management books.
It seems she has indeed achieved a lot in her studies.
Levin nodded in agreement.
“Well… alright, let’s redraft Chapter 2.9. Classes are starting soon, and we need to finalize this before then.” Penelope glanced at Levin and made a decisive decision.
Levin was the true core of the entire Erudite Society.
Since he had nodded, Penelope decided not to say anything more, as that would only lower her opinion of him.
None of the wizards present were ordinary people.
Levin, recognized as a genius throughout Hogwarts, possesses extraordinary comprehension and exceptional intelligence and thinking abilities.
As for the other three, Cirella, being a princess and having received royal education, possessed a broad and insightful perspective.
Penelope Crivate served as the fourth-year student leader and the student council president, demonstrating outstanding organizational skills and experience.
Hermione Granger, as the top student in Gryffindor, has meticulous logical thinking and is well-versed in witchcraft.
The four of them then set to work quickly, discussing, deleting, and revising in hushed tones in the library, finally producing a long sheet of new rules on parchment before closing time.

Chapter 245 I'm doomed! I'm surrounded by witches!
Before Saturday's class, all members of the Broad Knowledge Society received the new rules and regulations.
Among these, the personnel structure is the most noteworthy.
The highest-ranking person in charge of the Broad Knowledge Society is the president, who is fully responsible for all matters related to the training camp.
He has the final say and does not need to consult the opinions of other members.
The chairman, also known as the vice president, is the second-in-command of the Broad Knowledge Society, serving as the president's deputy. They are primarily responsible for organizing the society's activities.
In the absence of the president, the chairman of the board will preside over the weekly classes.
In addition, he also needs to organize a secretariat to be responsible for bookkeeping, collecting annual membership fees, paying bills, and disclosing the income and expenditure of funds to all members.
Below the chairman are the ministers.
Each minister leads a separate department, and each department is responsible for specific tasks.
The personnel department responsible for recruitment, filing, and dismissal.
The Publicity Department, responsible for the image management of the Bo Shi Society;
The Discipline Inspection Department is responsible for maintaining internal discipline and ensuring classroom safety.
The logistics department is responsible for the management and maintenance of the society's collection of books, materials, teaching materials, and other financial matters.
The Curriculum Department is responsible for setting up the venue, arranging classes, and managing logistics for each lesson. However, this department has more than one head; rather, there is a head for each class.
These ministers also automatically serve as members of the council.
In the absence of the president, the chairman of the board of directors shall work with them to form a board of directors and act as president to manage all internal affairs of the association.
In the classroom, after Penelope explained the setup of all the positions, almost all the young wizards looked on with eager eyes.
In other words, they, the students from the class of 08, also have the opportunity to participate in the management of the association?
Many people feel an increased sense of belonging to the Broad Knowledge Society.
“Levin Green will remain president. Who agrees and who disagrees?” Penelope stood on the podium, looking down at the entire room.
Everyone in the audience raised their hands in approval; no one objected.
Without a doubt, the president can only be Levin, after all, he was the one who founded the Knowledge Society from the very beginning, and he was responsible for all the teaching content and initial investment.
“Very good, then the next position will be appointed by the president himself.” Penelope looked at Levin and gave up the podium.
Levin took the stage and spoke frankly about his thoughts.
"As the president of the Broad Knowledge Society, I thank you all for joining the society. Your joining is a sign of your trust and support. The purpose of establishing the Broad Knowledge Society is to widely disseminate knowledge and help everyone make progress."
"The reason for establishing this management team is to allow everyone to participate in the management of the association. After all, only you know what you need. Only in this way can the Bo Shi Association better serve everyone and ensure that our courses can be carried out smoothly."
Levin paused,
All the young wizards' eyes were fixed on him, listening intently to his speech.
"I hereby declare that Miss Penelope Crivate will serve as the first council member of the Society,"
"The Minister of Personnel is Miss Hermione Granger,"
"The Minister of Publicity is Miss Padma Petit,"
"The head of the logistics department will be Ms. Zhang Qiu,"
"Members of each department are appointed by the minister, and members of the secretariat are appointed by the chairman of the board."
"The class leader will be selected by you from among three candidates, and then the chairman will appoint them."
Levin made the decision unilaterally, appointing the person without any recommendation.
None of the young wizards who had learned the skill showed any unusual reaction; they all looked at Penelope expectantly.
Next, each minister chose their deputy according to their own preferences, while Penelope selected Luna for the secretariat.
Penelope had reservations about this.
In her opinion, Luna's individual skills are indeed quite good, but she is clearly somewhat unreliable.
It was really difficult for her to have this crazy girl, who was always in a daze, in the secretariat.
But since this was Levin's idea, she did not insist on opposing it.
Under the new system, the workload for management has been greatly reduced, and each junior wizard can receive more tailored assistance.
Levin then adjusted the course content accordingly, halving the regular classes and using the remaining time for exam preparation.
The outstanding students from Class 3 provided targeted tutoring in various subjects for the junior wizards from Classes 1 and 2, and the course content was very popular.
As for the students in Class 3, Levin provided them with adapted Hogwarts textbooks, successfully combining arcane theory with Hogwarts' curriculum, which greatly facilitated their learning.
With the help of arcane theory, everyone felt that their understanding and mastery of existing knowledge had become more profound.
After the class, everyone happily returned to the academy's lounge.
But Levin surprisingly managed to get all the girls to stay.
Besides Cirella, there are Penelope, Hermione, Cho Chang, and Luna, making a total of five people.
Apart from Penelope, he had a rather ambiguous relationship with each of them.
As for Penelope, she's a good friend of Cirihong and has already agreed to join Jaina's ranks after graduation, so she's practically one of their own.
Moreover, Levin clearly sensed that Penelope's relationship with him had quickly become closer since the training camp was established. Even though she still verbally called Levin an outsider who had stolen her best friend, in reality, she seemed to be trying to steal her best friend's boyfriend.
After looking at everyone Levin had left behind, Cirira nudged Levin with her elbow:
"You're just taking advantage of my feelings for you to bully me, aren't you?"
Shirella complained.
"What are you planning to do by keeping them all here? To watch the girls argue for you?"
“You’re overthinking it,” Levin said with a wry smile. “I was just thinking that since we’re all gathered together, I wanted to give them a unified presentation about our future endeavors and goals so they could join us.”
"Our goal? What do you want to tell them? Is it to build a floating city or to open a portal to another world?" Upon hearing this, Cirira immediately stopped being angry and asked in surprise, "Have you informed Jaina and the others about this?"
“Of course, they agree that I should find a few more potential helpers,” Levin nodded, “but I don’t plan to go that far ahead for now. I’ll just talk about Voldemort.”
Levin's plan consisted of three parts:
The first step is to gradually gain control of the Ministry of Magic and Hogwarts by fighting against Voldemort.
The second step was to use Hogwarts as a center to promote Levin's arcane magic theories, reshape magical civilization, and establish the first floating city.
The third step is to use the power of the entire magical civilization to open the gate to another world and complete their plan to return home.
Of course, returning home in this way is completely different from returning home as an old person who "left home young and returned old."
To put it in a familiar way, it's like "the Dragon King has returned."
