If the Academy of Knowledge was the seed that Levin chose to spread magical civilization, and its broad popular base,
So these girls in front of him are Levin's core team.
They will play a similar role to Jaina, Tonks, Onyxia, Cirihong, and others.
Having understood Levin's plan, Ciri stopped arguing.
But that doesn't mean others don't have opinions.
Upon seeing the others who had stayed behind with her, Hermione instinctively felt somewhat displeased.
Zhang Qiu, this female simp, already knew her idol's character. And since they had just officially reached first base and were beginning to establish an intimate relationship, she naturally sat aside and acted like a good girl.
Luna, on the other hand, already considers Levin her boyfriend. You could say that with her slightly unconventional personality, she doesn't care that much about such things.
As for Penelope, all she needs to do is get close to Cirella while getting near Levin; she doesn't care how many other people Levin gets close to for the time being.
Looking at the five witches before him, whose appearances and personalities were vastly different but who were all talented and beautiful, Levin felt as if he were the male protagonist of a Galgame.
Shaking his head to shake off unrealistic fantasies, Levin began to get down to business.
Just as he had discussed with Ciri,
He didn't reveal everything about the visitors from another world right from the start.
Using prophecy as an excuse, he talked to them about a series of possibilities for the rise of the Dark Lord in the future, as well as his reasoning about the situation.
"So, this is the real reason you wanted to establish the Society of Knowledge? You want to improve everyone's strength so that they will have the power to protect themselves when the Dark Lord returns?" Hermione looked at Levin with some excitement. "Oh, you are even greater than I imagined!"
Hermione became Harry's friend because she believed in Voldemort's return.
But Levin never expected that she would even imagine this as a reason for establishing the Society for the Study of the Most Knowledgeable.
In an instant, Levin's already towering figure in her mind began to shine brightly.
In terms of sheer greatness, he's almost on par with Dumbledore.
Penelope seemed to realize something as well, "No wonder Cirella and I became Aurors after graduation, it was to guard against the Dark Lord."
When Zhang Qiu heard the name of the Dark Lord, her whole body shrank back, clearly frightened.
But when Levin looked at her, the girl still tried to straighten her chest and give Levin 763 a supportive look.
As for Luna, she stared at Levin with her large, light gray eyes and asked without hesitation, "So what do we need to do?"
Well, this group of people trusts him more than anyone else; not one of them doubts him.
Levin nodded in satisfaction:
You all must keep this a secret and not tell anyone else, not even your parents.
Hermione and Cirella both knew about the tower in the demiplane.
Although Zhang Qiu and Luna had visited the tower, they did not learn its deeper secrets.
Levin was mainly saying this to them and Penelope.
“I’ve heard from Cirira that you have a lot of precious books and magical items hidden there,” Penelope said excitedly, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Levin. “Of course I’ll keep it a secret.”
In her view, the fact that Levin cared about their safety and was willing to take them to his collection was the greatest sign of trust he could show.
She made a silent vow to never reveal what she was about to see.
She even thought that they should sign a magical contract or something similar, that would be more reliable.
Zhang Qiu also agreed, saying that girls have their own sense of propriety and bottom line.
In fact, she believed that having a secret with each other would actually bring her and Levin closer together.
It's just a pity that there are too many girls who share the secret with her.
As for Luna, she glanced at Levin with half-closed eyes and then nodded, her expression perfectly calm.
However, Levin noticed that her ears had turned red.
Levin took in the expressions of the three men, made a decision, and opened a portal in front of them.

Chapter 246 The Genius Club
The duration of a 7th-level spell from the Leicester Academy isn't too long.
Aside from Ciri, all the girls were seeing Levin use [Teleport] for the first time, and they were all quite surprised.
They'd heard of Apparition, used Floo Powder, and even tried using Portable Keys.
But none of them had ever seen such convenient spatial magic.
Led by Levin and Cirira, the six of them stepped into the portal and entered the tower.
Penelope was quite curious about Levin's house.
She had always wanted to see where Levin and Cirella lived.
However, the most pressing matter today is the tower's true secret.
Filled with curiosity and a touch of inexplicable excitement, they followed Levin to the tower's underground area.
Levin's workshop, library, and storage room are all located here.
Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Qiu, Luna, and Penelope's understanding was completely refreshed.
They had always known that Levin had become wealthy after first grade.
But they never expected that Levin had so much wealth and collection!
This is even more than those pure-blood families.
Perhaps for a young wizard from an ordinary family, even a small part of this building would require a lifetime of struggle to achieve:
A library comparable to Hogwarts Library
A vault overflowing with gold and gallon
A storage room filled with various precious materials
Displayed among Levin's various works, a treasure trove of alchemical products and potions.
The workshop was surrounded by all sorts of rare and precious experimental equipment, some I'd never seen before.
Not to mention the greenhouses openly displayed, which are filled with all sorts of amazing plants.
And a vast forest,
Levin has already started buying magical creatures to raise here.
Almost every place they visited broadened their horizons.
Finally, Levin led the little witches, who were still reeling from the experience, back to the lobby on the first floor.
With a flick of his wand, Levin conjured up chilled soda and delicious macarons on the table.
“Eat,” he said.
"After we finish eating, I have some gifts to give you."
Once the little witches calmed down,
"First of all, the gift I want to give you is..."
Seeing the interested looks on their faces, Levin decided not to keep them in suspense any longer: "The key to getting in and out of here."
As he spoke, Levin pulled Ciri's arm and began to write and draw on the back of her hand with his wand.
Soon, a magical tattoo representing "wisdom" appeared on the back of her hand.
"Isn't this thing... somewhat similar in function to the Dark Mark of the Death Eaters under the Mysterious Man's command?" Cirira suddenly asked.
Because she planned to join the Auror after graduation, she specifically studied the history of the previous Wizarding Wars.
“You’re right, but it’s not just that.”
As Levin tattooed the design on Hermione, he explained, "I did draw inspiration from the Dark Mark, but I also incorporated magical tattooing techniques. Essentially, it's about permanently imprinting alchemical enchanting techniques onto the skin through tattooing, thus granting a person new magic."
"This mark has the same sensing function as the Black Mark. But it can do more. For example, I have bound the magic of the [Mansion Spell] to this tattoo. As long as you inject magic into the tattoo, you can travel to and from this tower."
"Of course, it's also a marker of identity. With this tattoo, you can use most of the tower's functions, such as opening doors to various warehouses. Specific permissions can be updated at any time."
After the tattoo was completed, Penelope examined the back of her hand and suddenly said, "But this really looks like the Dark Mark. With this, I always feel like I've joined some secret organization—like 'Raven Green and his girlfriends'?"
"What a terrible name!" Levin complained, finding it far too blatant.
After a moment's thought, he made up his mind: "I think this symbol should be called 'Intellectual Imprint,' and the organization should be called 'The Genius Club.'"
Hermione stroked the mark and said, "It doesn't look evil. I like the name 'Intelligence'... but 'Genius Club' and all that is still a bit..."
Even someone as intelligent as her blushed upon hearing that name.
Once everyone had completed the tattoos of the intellectual symbol,
Levin waved his wand again, and six neatly arranged potion bottles of different colors appeared on the table.
This is naturally a permanent elixir.
"These potions can comprehensively enhance your abilities in all aspects, including strength, agility, endurance, intelligence, perception, and charisma. Each color represents an attribute, and you need to wait a certain amount of time between taking one and taking the next."
After saying that, Levin suggested, "Personally, I think you should take the [Permanent Intelligence Elixir] first. I believe that with these, passing this final exam should be a piece of cake. Even Penelope's NEWTs won't be a problem."
Levin smiled and distributed the potion to the four people except for Cirella.
“No wonder you learned so quickly after you came back from Christmas, Ciri Hong,” Penelope said with a sudden realization. “So you were secretly drinking this. You didn’t even tell me about the good stuff.”
Having said that, she drank the elixir of intelligence.
With Ciriura as an example, she has absolute trust in Levin.
Hermione desperately tried to recall the books she had read about potions.
She had indeed seen similar "intelligence-enhancing potions" in some books, but the effects of such potions were mostly temporary.
It seems that no book mentions a potion with permanent effects.
But this did not stop her from drinking the elixir.
Zhang Qiu's talent was relatively mediocre among the group, and she needed these potions more than the others.
