Chapter 185: Tirisfal Secret Society

"However, to be honest." Luna said seriously, "I am not very good at dueling, and I don't have anything I can teach others. If I really want to establish a Dueling Club in Ravenclaw, I'm worried I won't do well."

"You can also communicate with us." Ma Erfu said. "And Zhang Qiu will also take special care of you, right, Harry?"

"Frankly speaking, if you don't count her secret spells." Harry scratched his head. "I'm not sure if Zhang Qiu can convince the public."

"You're right, to be honest, Slytherin's situation is not very good either." Ma Erfu said seriously. "But since there must be a Dueling Club, why can't it be run by us? Such a rare opportunity, I hope everyone will not give up lightly."

"I don't quite understand what the point of this is." Luna shook her head.

"Connections, leadership, fame, the Wizarding World is very small, and every student who walks out of Hogwarts may occupy an important position." Ma Erfu said sincerely. "And even if you put these aside, exercising your dueling ability is also very important. If the Wizarding World becomes turbulent, we must at least have enough self-protection ability."

Harry nodded in agreement. It was hard to imagine this was what Ma Erfu would say. But in a sense, Ma Erfu was indeed not a fickle villain. He had his own persistence, but that persistence slightly conflicted with Harry's.

"I understand, I will work hard." Luna said firmly.

After this gathering, Harry spent another plain week. When everyone had ideas in their hearts, the classroom discipline was much better. Even when Moody proposed to use the Imperius Curse to control students to help them exercise their willpower, no one expressed any dissatisfaction.

Another weekend arrived. Neville had already won over a large group of boys in Gryffindor who were willing to learn dueling skills, and used Friday afternoon with Luo En to explain dueling skills to them—most of which were taught to them by Tang Tang Nade in their second year.

Looking at the Lionheart Society organizing gatherings in full swing, Harry couldn't help but go to Zhang Qiu to ask about Ravenclaw's situation.

"What did you say, no organization at all?" Hearing Zhang Qiu's answer, Harry couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

"There's no way, you have to know, the students of the Eagle House are neither keen on dueling nor very willing to socialize. Forcing an organization will only be asking for trouble." Zhang Qiu sighed. "I plan to look at the organizational forms of each house first, and then consider what strategy to adopt."

"Organizational form?" Harry was stunned. In his assumption, it should be like Gryffindor, with a leader like Neville, passing on his unique insights about wizard dueling to others.

"That's right, haven't you noticed?" Zhang Qiu said helplessly. "The pure-blood descendants of Slytherin don't obey anyone, but everyone has two tricks, so Ma Erfu organized a Silver Blood Alliance, where the descendants of various pure-blood families gather to explore dueling skills, and then pass them on to half-blood wizards who have no foundation."

"That's because Ma Erfu is not strong and powerful enough, not strong and powerful enough." Harry said regretfully.

"Hufflepuff is just the opposite, everyone is willing to obey others, and no one has any unique skills." Zhang Qiu continued. "So Cedric opened a Defense Association, where everyone practices the Disarming Charm and the Shield Charm together, and then the students who are fast in progress help the students who are slow in progress."

"Defense Association, D. A.?" Harry always felt that this name was somewhat familiar for no reason. "Or could it be called Dumbledore's Army?"

"*Shh*, if the Ministry of Magic knows about this, they will definitely order them to rectify." Zhang Qiu made a gesture of silence.

"Then you say, what is Ravenclaw's characteristic? Everyone actually has two tricks, and is willing to listen to others' opinions?" Harry asked.

"To be precise, everyone is not good at dueling, and no one obeys anyone." Zhang Qiu said helplessly. "If you talk about theoretical knowledge, they can blow for a whole day, but if it involves moving hands, they will start to push and shove."

"This problem..." Harry didn't have any good ideas either, but he knew that he wasn't the only one concerned about this matter.

Before finding Ma Erfu, Harry asked Neville for his opinion.

"Actually, the reason why Luo En and I were able to establish prestige smoothly, and really had something to teach," he said, "was largely thanks to Tang Tang Nade."

"Although there are many people who know the ropes in Defense Against the Dark Arts, in terms of attracting students' interest, perhaps Tang Tang Nade is really a rare expert. I suggest you ask him for advice." Neville said sincerely.

Harry nodded slightly, and he already had a plan in his heart. If he had to choose someone to write a letter to Tang Tang Nade, the best candidate was undoubtedly Trig or Hermione. And regarding the Ravenclaw club and Luna's prestige among the students, perhaps the most suitable person was Trig.

He didn't intend to find Trig himself. Harry believed that Trig was also worried about the form of the club, so as long as he mentioned it lightly at the Torchwood gathering, he would naturally embark on the road of seeking help.

In fact, Trig's speed of seeking help was much faster than Harry imagined. At the new gathering, he said directly: "Because I encountered some difficulties when establishing the club in Ravenclaw, I wrote to consult Uncle Tang Tang Nade before. However, the solution he gave seems a bit unbelievable?"

"Oh, what did he say?" Ma Erfu asked curiously.

"It's like this, he first described a magical ritual to me, which can infuse the magic power of multiple people into the same person," Trig paused, "so he suggested that I open a 'Tirisfal Secret Society', and select a 'Guardian' every time we fight in the ring, infusing the magic power of four to six people into her, and then go up to duel."

"I don't quite understand, one person bearing the power of four to six peers at the same time, won't she explode?" Pansy asked.

"So, this ritual cannot make her gain magic power beyond her own strength, it just allows her to get replenishment quickly after consumption." Trig flipped through the instructions. "And, the ritual itself will consume 20% of the magic power, which is equivalent to six people casting spells for the Guardian; she can actually only get the extra magic power of about five people."

"Is it that when the Guardian is fighting, the wizards providing energy cannot cast spells or move, and must maintain the existence of the ritual?" Ma Erfu suddenly asked.

"Let me see, eh, he did write that." Trig took another look at the letter.

"Then isn't this kind of ritual very useless?" Ginny said with some dissatisfaction. "It's just for fighting in the ring in the Dueling Club, wouldn't it be better for six people to go up together in actual combat?"

"You're right, so this infusion ritual is generally only used in large-scale magical rituals, completed by multiple auxiliary wizards helping the wizard who recites the spell to complete certain spells that require massive magic power." Ma Erfu interjected. "Now it has been modified by Tang Tang Nade and can supply a student for combat. I think in a certain sense... it is indeed just for fighting in the ring."

"If you talk about practical significance, it's not that there isn't any." Harry remembered Zhang Qiu's evaluation of the Eagle House students. "Rather than forcing those students who have neither combat skills nor combat will onto the battlefield, where they can't play a role and also distract others, it's better to let them hold the infusion ritual in the rear, so that individual students who have both skills and courage can exert stronger combat power."

"You're overthinking it. This kind of ritual generally requires the interval between the infusion provider and the infused person not to exceed three meters." Ma Erfu said coldly.

"That's not it. Tang Tang Nade specifically mentioned that the ritual he improved can play a role within 100 meters." Trig raised his head. "The

"Is the ritual limited to six people channeling energy at the same time?" Gao Er asked.

"Yes, he said that if there are more people, the ritual will become unstable," Cui Ge said. "However, as long as the six people participating in the channeling haven't exhausted their magic, they can channel energy continuously. So, these six people could actually each receive energy from another six people, and so on, recursively."

Harry couldn't help but start considering other uses for this ritual, but ultimately, it could only increase the total amount of magic—that is, the number of times one could cast spells—and could not increase a wizard's output, which is the power of the spell.

And for powerful wizards like Deng Buliduo, their own total magic already far exceeded the consumption of their spells, so they basically had no need for such a ritual. It might temporarily elevate an ordinary student to the level of a professor, but for a professor, this ritual couldn't provide much help.

"Regardless of the effect, this gimmick is definitely good," Harry mused. "We can organize it just like that, establish this so-called Mifa Society, then elect a Guardian, and then the Guardian themselves can visit other clubs to communicate at any time."

"Right," Ma Erfu chimed in, "each dormitory elects a dormitory head to channel energy to him, each dormitory head then channels energy to their year's prefect, and finally, the year's prefect channels energy to the elected Guardian."

"That's roughly the idea." Cui Ge put away the parchment and looked at Lu Na. "What do you think?"

"It's alright," Lu Na's voice sounded very calm. "Who should we choose as the first Guardian?"

"First, pick someone in their seventh or sixth year who is generally recognized as capable and let them fill the role," Pan Xi suggested. "As long as you can be a good leader for your own year, you will eventually be able to establish prestige throughout the entire school."
