"Yes, I had just enrolled when she graduated. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see her in person, but the senior students have seen her and know her story.
They often tell us about her..."
Dumbledore smiled and said, "At that time, many professors liked to use her as an example in class.
She can be said to be a legend and role model of the academy."
Levid was not actually that surprised by what Dumbledore said.
The things she did can indeed be called the legend of Hogwarts.
Dumbledore was very close to her when he enrolled.
Even the professors didn't change much when he was in school, so it was not surprising to hear stories about her.
"In other words, do you think that it is a good thing that I have this ability of ancient magic?" Levid asked tentatively.
"Of course, isn't that a good thing?" Dumbledore looked at Levid curiously.
"It means you, too, have the talent to accomplish the same feat as her. If a student like her appeared at Hogwarts during my time as a professor, I would be incredibly honored..."
Levid weighed his words carefully before continuing, "But, ancient magic... with such powerful power, are there any side effects?"
"Side effects? Actually, you two aren't the only ones in history who can wield ancient magic.
If there were any side effects, people would have discovered them long ago...
Why do you think so?"
Dumbledore was puzzled as to why Levid remained so worried even after learning of his special abilities.
Levid stared at his hands, recalling the pleasure he had just felt from using ancient magic.
He suddenly felt tempted to take a risk and reveal something to Dumbledore.
If successful, he would gain Dumbledore's utmost trust and receive even more guidance on ancient magic from him!
He wouldn't have to waste time figuring it out on his own.
Of course, if he failed, Dumbledore's impression of him would change completely...
After weighing the pros and cons, Levid finally decided to take the risk, because if he succeeded, the benefits he would get from Dumbledore would be huge.
"When I used ancient magic, that feeling... made me very happy.
I was so happy that I wanted to try every possible way to make my ancient magic more powerful..."
Levander looked up at Dumbledore, "It's like... this power is constantly tempting me, making my desire to become stronger infinitely magnified..."
"Professor, I know that I do pursue power, but... I really don't want to become a person who will do anything to pursue power! I don't want to be a slave to power!
Because if I do, many innocent people may be hurt because of me!"
"If the reason for this feeling is not this power, but myself... then professor, please teach me how to suppress this desire when using ancient magic?"
Dumbledore looked at Levander, his eyes flashing with a strange light, "Wade... what you said makes me feel very relieved!"
"Ah?" Although Levander looked confused on the surface, he was relieved in his heart. He was right to take this risk.
"Many, when suddenly gifted with great power, lose control of themselves, leading many astray. Even some, even if they haven't, will subconsciously pursue greater power. Even I was like that back then..." Dumbledore's eyes were filled with admiration.
"I've never seen anyone who has just gained great power think, as you do, not about how to increase it, but about reflecting on themselves! They confront their own desires!" Dumbledore was truly moved.
In fact, upon learning of Levid's talent for ancient magic, he had been considering how to dissuade him from pursuing the dangers of excessive power.
To his surprise, he had already begun to confront his own shortcomings, and even so openly sought his advice!
How could Dumbledore not be pleased and satisfied with this student?
Honestly, this child was incredibly sensible!
Of course, this was also due to the good impression Levid had made on him before.
If it had been Tom who had said this to him... perhaps it wouldn't have worked.
For Dumbledore, Tom was a figure of grave concern, and he wouldn't easily believe anything he said.
In fact, if Levid hadn't spoken to him, Dumbledore would have been even more wary of him.
After all, a child of his age possessing powerful ancient magical powers was like a child walking through a busy city carrying a blade...
"What should I do?
If I never use this power again, will I be able to avoid having my desires aroused?" Levid continued.
Hearing Levid's question, Dumbledore felt more reassured.
"That's not true, Wade. In fact, every wizard hopes that his magic can be more effective and powerful.
To put it in school, every student hopes that he can learn more at Hogwarts. In other words, becoming stronger is everyone's subconscious desire.
This is inevitable.
Therefore, it is not a sin for you to pursue power."
Dumbledore smiled and said, "To a certain extent, the pursuit of power and the pursuit of progress are actually the same thing.
Desire is an important factor that stimulates people to make progress!
If the desire for progress is also a sin, then we are too sorry for all the efforts we have made to learn and progress."
"You were just asking me how to control this desire... In fact, I don't think you need to ask me anymore.
Because when you asked me, it means that you have controlled your desire."
"If you didn't control it, then you would never say this to me tonight."
"So, feel free to use this power according to your ideas. As long as you stick to your bottom line, you should be fearless."
"Power has always been a double-edged sword. The key is who wields this sword..."
"I'm glad you now possess this sharp sword, Wade. Only you can reassure me."
Levander couldn't help but look at Dumbledore with a hint of surprise. This time, his surprise wasn't fake.
Dumbledore's reaction was more intense than he'd expected.
Without a doubt, this risky attempt must have touched a soft spot in Dumbledore.
'Ah... why do I always feel like I've deceived Dumbledore?' '
What he just said was so true, otherwise it wouldn't be considered a risk.
Tsk, he was so sincere when he said it, he barely even used Occlumency! Why does my conscience ache?
' 'So, ancient magic isn't as harmful as dark magic, so I can use it with confidence? I just need to be mindful of the boundaries,' Levander reassured.
'For you, that's indeed the case,' Dumbledore nodded.
Dumbledore's words were, admittedly, very measured, because he trusted Levander, which is why he added, 'for you.'
The meaning is, "I trust you to hold the sword, but I don't trust others!"
