Hogwarts: I am the White Demon King

Hearing Sebastian's words, the young wizards were all excited and eager to start practicing at the dueling hall.

Ron slammed his fist on the table and said through gritted teeth, "I've decided, I'm going to live in the dueling hall for the next two months."

"I must reach the first rank of adult wizard before Halloween!"

"That's the spirit, little Ronnie," Fred interjected from the side, "Just train like there's no tomorrow!"

"Just focus on your efforts, and leave the matter of being chosen as a champion to Merlin," George chimed in.

"After all, it would be a pity if you couldn't even qualify to apply," they said in unison, then looked at each other, smiled, and slapped their hands together.

"Fred, George," Ron was touched by their encouragement, his eyes welling up with tears, "You guys always tease me, but you're really considerate at critical moments."

"Don't overthink it, Ron," Fred said with a grin, "We're just encouraging you to meet the application requirements. The professor said the judges will select the best from the applicants to become champions."

"No matter how hard you try now, you can't close the gap between us," George said, "That's why I'll be the champion."

"Good point, George, but I'm a little better, so my chances of becoming a champion are much higher."

"Nonsense, I'm clearly better than you, Fred."

"Oh, you're not convinced? Then let's duel, and let strength speak for itself."

"Duel it is, I'm going to win anyway."

Watching the twins argue, Harry grinned.

What's the point of arguing? The professor said there's more than one champion, so it would be great if both of them were chosen.

The only question is who the judge is and how they will fairly select the champions from so many applicants.

Will they simply look at magic power?

If that's the case, then I have a pretty good chance.

During the summer training camp, Professor Swann personally certified that my magic power is among the top tier of students at Hogwarts.

However, Professor Swann also warned me that the strength of magic power doesn't necessarily equate to combat power. To transform magic power into combat power, I need to constantly practice spells.

In that case, I can't slack off for the next two months. I have to fight for this champion spot no matter what.

Harry couldn't help but imagine in his mind the scene of him becoming the Hogwarts champion, overcoming obstacles, and winning amidst the cheers of the audience.

Just thinking about it is exhilarating!

Ron's face turned red with anger at the twins' words.

He thought these two were encouraging him, but he didn't expect them to be pouring cold water on him.

Immediately, he felt a little discouraged. He thought the twins had a point. Judging by strength, his chances of becoming a champion were really low.

Even now, he hasn't beaten Malfoy, and he was even defeated by Neville in last year's dueling competition.

Oh well... might as well give up.

Seeing Ron's dejected look, Hermione quickly comforted him, "Don't be discouraged, Ron, it's always good to work harder."

"There will be many international students coming to Hogwarts this year. There will definitely be a lot of exchange activities. If you're stronger, you'll be more confident when facing them."

"Besides, the professor didn't say that the dueling competition will be canceled this year. If you work hard now, you can show off your style to the international students."

After Hermione's encouragement, Ron's fighting spirit was reignited.

He grabbed Hermione's hand and said happily, "Hermione, you're the best to me."

Hermione didn't say anything, just smiled with a blush on her face.

Seeing the students' excitement, Sebastian cleared his throat, drawing the young wizards' attention back.

"The selection of champions is destined to be a celebration for only a small group of people."

"To make everyone's lives more colorful, starting this year, the school will strongly support the transformation of interest groups into official student clubs supported by the school."

"Club recruitment will be held in the Great Hall at 2:00 PM this Saturday. I will personally be responsible for the review of the clubs and provide development guidance for the clubs that pass the review."

"Students who intend to establish a club, please prepare the club emblem, club plan, club activity design, etc. in advance in order to pass the review."

"Official clubs will be recorded in the Hogwarts school history. In addition, when holding club activities, you can apply to the school, and the school will provide a certain amount of financial support to the club depending on the scale of the activity."

"Due to funding reasons, only one club of each type can be established, such as the Wizard's Chess Club, Gobstones Club, etc. Therefore, students who intend to become the club leader should pay attention to preparing for the election."

"Specific club formation regulations, review standards, club leader election procedures, and other details will be posted on the bulletin board tomorrow. Interested students should pay more attention."

Forming a club!

School funding!

These words stirred the students' nerves and made them itch with anticipation.

Not everyone can be a champion, but clubs are related to most students. After all, who hasn't participated in one or two interest groups these days?

Hermione was extremely excited. She wasn't interested in becoming a champion to participate in the Triwizard Tournament. Instead, forming a club was very much to her liking.

She decided to establish a club to care for house-elves in order to help house-elves escape their slave status and have a better life.

"Don't get too excited!" Sebastian's voice drowned out the young wizards' discussions.

"This year, Hogwarts will also launch a campus entrepreneurship program. Little guys with a skill can come to me to apply for entrepreneurship."

"Students who pass the application can set up stalls in the areas designated by the school. Excellent stalls will also be eligible to set up stalls in Hogsmeade New Town on weekends."

"Don't forget, Hogwarts still has a huge storefront vacant in the New Town."

"Attention!" Sebastian raised his voice a little, "Students who want to start a business need to learn to balance work and study, because once there is a failing grade, the stall qualification will be revoked."

"Specific standards will also be posted on the bulletin board, so please pay attention."

The entrepreneurship program is designed for those little wizards who aim high. Every year, some students don't want to work after graduation and just want to make a name for themselves.

Now there is an opportunity to start a business at school, which greatly reduces both the time cost and the financial cost.

In this way, talented people can quickly achieve results.

If you are really not the material for doing business, you can also recognize the reality early, then study honestly and strive to find a good job after graduation.

Amidst the students' discussions, the start-of-term banquet ended.

After saying goodbye to the other professors, Sebastian first let Mia go home through the fireplace, and then leisurely came to the monitoring room alone.

He wanted to look at the map to see what was going on with this Moody.
