If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 367 Succession Ceremony
Norton Pavilion, Lionheart Headquarters.

It is now afternoon, and the air is stagnant and stuffy.

The lobby of the guild hall was crowded with people standing shoulder to shoulder. It should be said that there should be a lot of voices in this scene, but it is not.

Now there is not a single noise in Nuoda's hall, even the breathing of the crowd is hard to hear, only the intimacy when the autumn wind kisses the fallen leaves outside the window is so bold and passionate, and the rustling kiss slides down on the edge of the bed, showing golden veins on the leaf.

Countless people stood in the lobby of the Norton Pavilion, stopped and waited, their eyes turned to the burly man on the second floor above, and they breathed calmly as they stared at the autumn scenery of fallen leaves outside the window.

The quaint clock on the second floor is swinging, and the figure of a burly man standing in front of the clock upstairs, today he is not wearing a bloated combat uniform, but is wearing the same Kassel Academy uniform as everyone else, with a dark green collar pinned Wearing bright red buttons, the button has a bronzing lion roaring faintly.

On the table behind the burly man was a long brown table with a scarlet banner with lion patterns on it, an iron box with a hint of rust even if it was well maintained, and A copper lamp and a crucible, the tiny flame quietly licks the bottom of the crucible, no one can see what is boiling inside due to the angle.

When the clock pointed to one o'clock and the bell rang, the scorching sun in the sky outside the clubhouse also rose to the highest point, casting the shadow of the Norton Hall on the green lawn, overshadowing Chu Zihang who walked to the door. stature.

He looked up at the huge guild hall, and heard the muddy horns under the rumbling bells from inside, like the war song of the opening of the war.

The deep horn sounded after the bell, majestic but not dull, tactful and simple, that is the unique timbre of the Alpine horn, which was once a national musical instrument in Germany.

Many people know that the founder of the Lion Heart Club was also a German earl. When he established the Lion Heart Club, there was also such solemn music playing.Just like a tradition, these horns have been passed down one after another. Whenever a new lion steps into the Norton Pavilion, the trombone will be played. What awaits those who step in will be the same solemn responsibility as the music. .

Chu Zihang walked to the door of the Norton Hall, stopped for a few seconds, looked at his reflection through the glass door, stretched out his hands to straighten his collar and the Lionheart Club badge on his chest, and then opened the door.

The sound of the horn behind the door became louder, as if the cork of a high-pressure urn had been opened, the solemn sound of the horn rushed towards the face, besides the sound of the horn, there were countless sights flocking to Chu Zihang.

The hall was full of members of the Lionheart Club, standing in an orderly manner on the first floor of the clubhouse, paying attention to the boy entering the new territory, like a welcome, and like a group of lions examining the new leader.

The presidents of each session of the Lionheart Club have different reactions at this time. The first founder, Menek Cassel, walked into the hall surrounded by friends who were also founders. As the most outstanding hybrid in the secret party, he came with boundless honor and the light of the new age, so he only needs to smile at those sights.

Some presidents of the Lionheart Society will wave their hands, and some will scan the entire lion group with equal scrutiny. The previous president of the Lionheart Society, Erwin Rhine, put his right fist in his heart On the road, the simple action showed all his determination, so everyone saluted him back.

The current Chu Zihang, the new successor, came to his territory, but his gaze passed over everyone, and he looked up at Erwin Rhine who was overlooking him on the second floor.

Both of them had golden eyes that were stronger than autumn, and they looked at each other meaningfully.

Chu Zihang stood at the door, and the trombones on both sides whimpered solemnly. He was engulfed by a sense of heaviness. Everyone's eyes were like resistance to push him out, but he didn't take half a step back, just stood there Something seemed to be waiting there.

After about a few minutes, no one spoke, and no one retreated. The scene remained silent, and only the long trumpets could be heard.

Say something?What to do?A smile like the original Lionheart president?
No, there is nothing on Chu Zihang.

On the second floor, the clock ticked over and over again, and the sunlight outside the window was baking on the banner of the Lionheart Club. Everyone stared silently at the boy who was about to become the leader of the lions. No one knew what he was waiting for. .Only the one he was really waiting for.

Erwin Rhine, who looked down on the boy in front of the door on the second floor, gradually smiled because he understood what Chu Zihang meant.

What the boy was waiting for was an invitation, a real recognition.

——If you don't step back, then the boy below will never take another step forward.

Standing at the Lionheart's door without taking a step forward is an attitude.

It was not that he begged the Lionheart Society to give him this seat, but the Lionheart Society needed him to be their leader. This was the most basic matter of principle.Although the opportunity for him to get the position of the Lionheart Club is a game, a bet, it is necessary to distinguish between primary and secondary. He came here with a wild purpose, but if he is not recognized, he would rather put this countless people The position of longing for luxury is abandoned like a shoe.

It's not that I need the authority of the Lionheart Club, but you Lionheart Club need me as a future leader.

This was the only meaning Chu Zihang expressed after stepping into the door.

If Menek Cassel, the first president of the Lions Heart Club, stepped on the threshold of the Lions Heart Club with honor, then Chu Zihang now only wears the burning but silent proud.

Erwin Rhine laughed because he felt that he had read people correctly. He has always seen people very accurately. He knew it from the first time he saw the boy on Freedom Day. Although the boy looked a little immature, those eyes The emotions revealed here are as proud as a lion. Even though it is still young, it is only a matter of time before the lion develops its own fangs and viciousness. Lionheart will naturally be the best place to raise a lion, right? ?

He nodded, put away the smile on his face, put on a solemn expression, and waved to Chu Zihang.

And this waving was considered a recognition. At this moment, the Lion Heart Society accepted their new future leader.

The crowd on the first floor divided a path leading to the stairs, and Chu Zihang walked in. When he passed by, everyone put their hands on his shoulders, and the weight gave his feet solid and powerful footprints one by one. He walked to the intersection of the stairs, and found that Lin Nian, who was also wearing a school uniform, was already waiting for him early.

This succession ceremony should only be attended by members of the Lionheart Club, but Lin Nian is still standing here aboveboard, but it is not because of his 'S' privileges, Chu Zihang noticed that Lin Nian He also wears a golden button with a lion pattern on his neckline, which is the emblem of the Lionheart Club.

"The Lion Heart Club has a few honorary members every year." Seeing Chu Zihang staring at his cuff, Lin Nian slightly lowered his head and stroked the button and said, "This is the one I applied to Principal Angers for." Although the headmaster is no longer active in the Lionheart Club, he still has a lot of power to speak. But in fact, at least I still won this position, which can be regarded as my support for your appointment."

"The most important thing is that no one in the Lion Heart Club thinks you are not qualified. Your joining the Lion Heart Club is something that every member is looking forward to." Among the crowd at the side, a female member of the Lion Heart Club endured He couldn't help but say that it was Wei Lewa, a new member of the Lion Heart Club in the freshman class. Looking at Lin Nian's blushing, he seemed a little excited. He put on the badge representing the Lion Heart Club, and even changed his name. Became 'you'.

The other members of the Lion Heart Club did not feel annoyed at being "represented" at all. Instead, they agreed with Wei Lewa's words. Lin Nian is not someone who is unknown and relies on his connections to become an honorary member of the Lion Heart Club. It is the chairman of this term. After all, the real lions are always Mu Qiang.

Chu Zihang didn't know what honorary membership meant, but the faces of other Lions Club members around Lin Nian were full of excitement and excitement. Although honorary membership does not mean official naturalization of the Lions Club, but in the Lions Club Those who have this honor will unconditionally help them through the crisis in times of crisis, and honorary members will stand by their side when standing in line.

In a sense, from today onwards, the Lionheart Club has obtained the 'S' grade, which has been vacillating all the time, and gained the dominance among the school's students.

If this was a gift to the new president of the Lionheart, it would be the largest gift in history.

"Thank you." Chu Zihang looked at Lin Nian and said very seriously.

"Where?" Lin Nian shook his head and said with a chuckle, "Go, you defeated the chairman of the student union and won another year's home court for the Lion Heart Club, you deserve it, and today you are the protagonist. "

Chu Zihang nodded, no longer stopped to commemorate, and stepped on the stairs. When he took the first step, the strings were plucked, and after the trombone was the ethereal sound of Zitel, the sound of the tune It is full of a sense of ritual, as if singing praises to a candidate for ascending the Temple of Olympus.

On both sides of the stairs, there are department ministers of the Lion Heart Society standing up one by one. Both male and female, they are all in school uniforms, wearing the badge of the Lion Heart Society. They are as solemn as medieval knights, and the solemnity in their eyes is The hardest iron helmets, they all ignited their golden pupils when Chu Zihang climbed the stairs. This is a ceremony of the Lion Heart Society, and they all bowed their heads to Chu Zihang at this time.

Chu Zihang didn't stop for half a step, and walked up to the second floor, where Erwin Rhine was waiting for him. Scarlet gel-like liquid was boiling in the crucible on the small brass lamp in front of the table, and the air There was a strange fragrance in it, and he was opening the rusty iron box, and took out a sheepskin scroll from inside.

"You don't have to be so restrained." Erwin Rhine said while spreading out the scroll, "The succession of the president of the emblem has been simplified a lot for many generations, but the ceremony can be simplified, and the person who becomes the leader has never lowered the standard, so I I hope you can understand what I mean-no matter what the situation is, you are standing here now. The incompetent and the cowardly will not have the opportunity to stand in front of me. Now that you are here, it means that you are qualified to be a lion. A leader who knows."

Chu Zihang nodded slowly, and saw that the other party spread out the sheepskin scroll. On it were the names of people one after another. From the yellowed and peeling handwriting at the end, there were many people who left their names, including Erwin Rhine's. name.

"Although you are qualified, I also hope that you can understand the responsibility implied by this position." Erwin Rhine stared at the rows of names with historical traces on the scroll, "You brought us the 'S' This is good, but not good enough, because what I value more is whether you, as a leader, have enough confidence to lead the entire Lionheart Club to its peak."

"But I can't prove this to you now." Chu Zihang said.

"Time will tell." Erwin Rhine stared at Chu Zihang and said, "You are a freshman, and you are also the first one to take up the position of president in your freshman year, so you are bound to suffer I have seen a lot of gazes. As someone who has experienced it, I suggest that you rely more on the people around you. It is a good thing that you have a very powerful friend. Ask him for advice and learn from experience. Do your best and let yourself To be the head of the Lionheart, to be the face of the Lionheart. To be the number one always means to be followed by countless challengers, and you have to make them fear you, and you represent the entire Lionheart from this day on, they To be afraid of you means they are afraid of the Lionheart."

"Student Council?"

"They are just one of them. The challengers of the Lionheart Club are not limited to the school." Erwin Rhine said, "What I want is you to lead the Lionheart Club to face the challenges of the whole world. The sharp spear, the knife most feared by the enemy, our members are destined to go to the battlefield in the future since joining the club, there is no comfort at all. Every member of the Lionheart Club is like this, and you are no exception. As a leader , the challenges you face will be several times normal."

"for example."

"For example, after becoming the chairman of the Lion Heart Club, your name will appear on the approval document of the minister of the executive department by default."

"what document?"

"A document for applying to join the executive department as a commissioner. Every incumbent president of the Lionheart Club is an official commissioner of the executive department, and only the Lionheart Club has this power." Erwin Rhine said, "That's why I also said , the chairman of the Lionheart Club cannot be mediocre, and no one would dare to stand in front of me knowing this."

"I just found out." Chu Zihang said.

"Then will you turn around and go down the stairs and get out of here?"

"will not."

"Very good." Erwin Rhine picked up a pen from the table and handed it to Chu Zihang, took off the crucible from the brass lamp, poured a little of the boiling scarlet liquid on the parchment .

Chu Zihang walked to the table and wrote down his name in Chinese with neat characters.

"Press it down with your thumb." Erwin Rhine said, looking at the scarlet liquid under the new name on the parchment.

Chu Zihang stretched out his thumb and pressed it, a burning sensation enveloped his fingertips, and his expression did not change from the beginning to the end.

"The melted liquid of dragon's blood crystallization, every president of the Lionheart Society will go through this." Erwin Rhine gave his thumbs up, on the one hand, he praised Chu Zihang's decisiveness and calmness, on the other hand The side also showed a burn mark on the thumb.

"Is there any special meaning?" Chu Zihang put away his hand and asked while looking at his burning and red thumb.

"Not many people can really touch dragon's blood." Erwin Rhine put away the ancient sheepskin scroll, looked at Chu Zihang's thumb and said meaningfully, "Compared with torture, I prefer to call this ceremony Reward, the legacy left by the predecessors for the posterity."

Chu Zihang still didn't understand, but he didn't ask any more questions.

"Recently, you may experience some physical discomfort. This is a normal phenomenon and you don't need to pay attention to it. After the succession ceremony, someone will come to you the next day to explain some of my previous affairs, and the authority of the entire Lionheart Society will be completely handed over In your hands, the darkrooms of seven clubs are open to you, more than 120 secret volumes are at your disposal, [-] departments are dispatched only by you, and all [-] and eight fighters of the Lionheart Society will follow in your footsteps. I hope you can do better than me during your tenure." Erwin Rhine picked up the lion pattern flag on the table and handed it to Chu Zihang.

"With this flag, you will bear these burdens," he said.

"Where should I start?" Chu Zihang took the banner as his answer.

"Let's start by being famous at Kassel College, a place that claims to be a gathering place for elite mixed races." Erwin Rhine smiled, and looked down at the boy at the end of the stairs, "After all, your friend also started being famous It started, the opportunity I remember seems to be the war practice class of the last freshman?"

"War practice class?"

"Every freshman will have such an opportunity. This is also the best way to understand the mission of the mixed race. I recently heard news that the freshman's war practice class will be advanced, and the executive department suddenly encountered a particularly difficult one. The case requires a large number of personnel, and now the entire department has temporarily entered a situation of tight employment, and there is a high probability that your freshmen will have a task transfer in the near future."

Erwin Rhine and Chu Zihang stood together and raised their hands to greet everyone on the first floor. The applause downstairs was so loud that it almost knocked off the roof of the entire Norton Pavilion. The birds were flying outside the window and the sun was shining brightly. , seems to imply the opening of a great future.

"This is also an opportunity." Amid the applause, Erwin Rhine patted Chu Zihang on the shoulder, "'S' class is very popular in the school, no one can overwhelm him, as a running target And direction, he couldn't be more suitable."

"." Chu Zihang looked up at the burly man.

"Try to get close to him first, and then look for opportunities to surpass him." Erwin Rhine looked down at the smiling boy who was also applauding downstairs, "I know this is a very difficult process, because I already have a hunch , in the next four years, climbing this new and lofty mountain will become the goal and wish of everyone in this college. It is a pity that I have already graduated and have no chance to climb the peak, but you are different, Whether it’s you from the Lionheart Club or the young chairman of the student union, you will all have the same goal in the next four years, and you will have a mountain that you can’t get around and you must conquer.”

Only then did Chu Zihang catch the regret and enthusiasm that had been deliberately hidden from the eyes of the burly man beside him. It seemed that the defeat of Liberty Day was not so indifferent to the other party.This man also wants to start over, to cheer up and challenge this impossible life as he said, but unfortunately he has no chance.

"But he has never shown a competitive mentality." Chu Zihang said softly.

"Because he knows it." Erwin Rhein said, staring down at the boy and said, "He really doesn't care, because the peak itself is the one that never moves. It was challenged by others!"

Chu Zihang was stunned by this sentence, and couldn't help but look at the boy downstairs. They looked at each other amidst the applause, and they both had different emotions in their eyes.

Among the crowd, Lin Nian clapped his hands and looked at Chu Zihang upstairs with a smile on his face. He didn't know if it was a celebration or some kind of grand invitation with hidden expectations.
