The morning preparation time passed quickly.

In the afternoon, people walked into the Norton Pavilion one after another, and then found a place to sit down.

In preparation for the succession ceremony, Fendi directly transformed the hall of the Norton Pavilion into a large enough venue to accommodate hundreds of people - there are only so many students in Kassel, and not all of them will attend, which is enough.

In fact, in Fendi's opinion, this was not grand enough, and he insisted on hanging a banner on the wall at the front of the hall that read "Celebrating the inauguration of Dragon Slayer Chu Zihang as President of the Lionheart".

In his opinion, this is a ceremony from Chu Zihang's parents, and Chu Zihang will definitely like it-Gu Bei's S-level advice will never lie to himself, right?

In addition, Susie has been coaxing around, so Fendi has always thought that this is the "right" thing to do.

However, Chu Zihang's face was really unbearable, and under his fierce opposition, the matter was finally closed.

This made Fendi feel that something was missing.

But Chu Zihang felt that this was very good.

The early spring wind still carried some cold winter coolness, but this could not stop the enthusiasm of the students to watch the dragon slayer, and more and more people came to watch the ceremony, and before they knew it, they were about to fill the seats in the hall.

The air also became a little viscous with the influx of people.

But the good thing was that they just sat and didn't make any sound.

Everyone sat or stood, honestly in their places, quietly waiting for the ceremony to begin.

Outside the window stands a bare ash tree, which is the prototype of the "World Tree" in Norse mythology and is deeply loved by the Kassel Academy, because the emblem of the Kassel Academy is the half-decayed World Tree, and the main greenery in the Kassel Academy is basically ash trees.

And this one next to the Norton Pavilion should be the oldest and largest tree in the entire academy.

The ash tree is characterized by its lush foliage and grows like a dense green cloud, but this is probably not seen in this season, because ash is a deciduous tree, and in the cold season, nothing can be seen except bare branches.

At this time, the branches of the tree seemed to want to stick out of the window to join in the fun.

The quaint clock hanging from the wall swings regularly, and Fendi stands in the most prominent position on the second floor.

Kassel has always advocated the freedom of dressing, so very few people wear school uniforms in school, you can see skirts, cheongsams, tights and shoes on the campus in Kassel, and even performance artists in combat uniforms and mushroom suits on campus, but it is probably difficult to see anyone choosing to wear school uniforms.

Fendi also doesn't like to wear school uniforms, he prefers to wear his own jacket and jeans, but today, he willingly changed into the uniform of the Kassel Academy.

The dark green collar was pinned with bright red buttons, and the lion with a gilded button roared faintly.

The people who came to watch the ceremony all changed into dark green school uniforms, while professors who did not have school uniforms wore professors' uniforms.

On the table behind Fendi was a long, brown-and-red table with three things on it.

A flag of the Lionheart, a lion embroidered with gold thread on a scarlet background, although it is only a flag, the embroidery on it is vivid and lifelike.

A quaint wooden box, I don't see anything special, at most it is very historical, traces of time.

Finally, a chain of pure gold.

Time ticked by, the bell struck at one o'clock, and the sun hung high in the middle of the sky, casting the shadow of the Norton Pavilion on the verdant lawn.

Chu Zihang stood in front of the door of the Norton Pavilion and heard the muffled sound of musical instruments coming from inside.

It was the sound of a trumpet, majestic but not dull, euphemistic and unpretentious.

The Alpine horn, Germany's former national musical instrument.

Many people should know that the founder of the Lionheart Society was a German earl, and when he once established the Lionheart Society, the same horn sounded

。

Like tradition, these horns have been passed down from one year to the next, and the trombone is played every time a new lion steps into the Norton Pavilion, and the same solemn duty awaits those who step into it.

Chu Zihang stepped forward and walked into the door of the Norton Pavilion.

And with his entry, the originally low horn sound changed, and smoothly connected to the passionate symphony, which made people's spirits lifted.

Germany is famous as the home of world music, and countless musicians were born here, such as Bach, Beethoven, Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, ...... Their symphonies alternate at each succession ceremony.

Everyone in the room stood up to the music.

Collectively, they saluted the boys who had entered the territory, as if they were welcome, and like the lions scrutinizing their new leader.

Every new president of the Lionheart Club has to go through this experience, after all, what the lions need is a lion king with enough power, not a soft-footed shrimp who will shrink back from everyone's gaze.

And Chu Zihang's battle was particularly huge, because the previous Lionheart President only needed to meet the eyes of the congregation, while Chu Zihang faced the gaze of the students who were close to the entire Kassel Academy.

This pressure is completely different.

There is respect, adoration, friendliness, curiosity, scrutiny, envy, jealousy in these eyes......

Kind and malicious, countless eyes entangled, turning into a heavy hammer and smashing down towards Chu Zihang.

How have previous Lionheart presidents dealt with this situation?

Little master, there is more after this chapter, please click on the next page to continue reading, the back is more exciting!

The original Menek left it aside for the time being, he founded the Lionheart Club with his friends, and became the president in the crowd, at this time he didn't have to do anything but smile.

The other successors either chose to smile or look at everyone with the same scrutiny, and some chose to greet those around them.

Fendi was probably the most out of tune of all, he just grabbed his hair and walked up with a nonchalant look on his face.

And Chu Zihang glanced around lightly.

He didn't wear contact lenses, and there was no emotion in his lava-like eyes, and no one he swept past dared to look at him, even if it was only for a second.

Then Chu Zihang withdrew his gaze.

He doesn't care about other people's doubts about him, in fact, he can do nothing and choose to ignore it, but the malice in the crowd is so obvious that he can't help but look at the location where those eyes come.

Those people were not members of the Lionheart congregation, nor were they anyone Chu Zihang had ever seen, they were not wearing the uniforms of the academy or the uniforms of professors, but suits of similar colors, like fish eyes mixed in pearls.

These people ...... Not from the Academy?

So how did they get here? Why didn't Norma have an alert?

Calm down and think about it carefully, Norma did not give an alarm, indicating that even if the other party was not from the academy, he had obtained permission to enter, and those who could do this were either other people who were allowed to enter, or relevant people within the academy, and the other party knew that today's succession ceremony must not be someone else, but a related person.

Is it someone from the school board?

The school board members came to watch the succession ceremony, and it would have been reasonable to say that it was a good time, but the other party's eyes just now ...... Could it be that the target this time is yourself?

Chu Zihang's thoughts turned, but the movements under his feet did not stop, one step at a time, and slowly climbed the stairs.

The moment he stepped on the stairs, the symphony's style changed again, the dull sound of trumpets and drums disappeared, and the melodious sound of cellos and violins permeated the space, accompanied by accordions and some light instruments.

Chu Zihang climbed the stairs, and the music became more and more brisk, until he walked up to the second floor and came to Fendi's side, and the music gradually faded away.

"Don't be nervous, that's how everyone came here." Fendi sat behind the long table, "Of course, not as exaggerated as you."

Well, that's an exaggeration, indeed.

When the other Lionheart presidents succeeded him, at most, they watched the ceremony from the insiders of the Lionheart Club, but when they came to Chu Zihang, they directly organized activities close to the campus level.

Of course, this is also because Chu Zihang has completed the great cause of slaying dragons before he officially takes over as the president of the Lionheart Club, because of this incident, there are even rumors in Kassel that Chu Zihang will be the second legendary president of the Lionheart Club in the entire history of Kassel - the first is the principal Ange.

This rumor is quite widespread, but Chu Zihang himself doesn't care much about it.

Fendi opened the wooden box on the table, and out of it came a sheepskin scroll, a strangely shaped white quill, and a bronze vessel.

Fendi spread out the parchment scroll, on which were the names of people one after another, there were many people who left their names, Chu Zihang saw the name of Meneke Cassel on the first place, followed by Hilbert Jean Angers, and finally Fendi Francis.

"You're better than I thought my successor would be, Chu." Fendi smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I should have stepped down since last year, but there are no juniors in the Lionheart who will satisfy me, and if you don't show up today, I will be forced to step down, and then the entire Lionheart will elect its own acting president - yes, deputy, that would make no sense to bring the development of the Lionheart to a standstill, but fortunately you are here."

Fendi happily pushed the sheepskin scroll towards Chu Zihang, handed the white quill pen to Chu Zihang's hand, and opened the sealed bronze vessel by the way.

There was red blood.

"It's ......"

"Dragon's Blood Pact." Fendi introduced, "Do you remember the Abrahamic blood pact you signed when you entered the school? It's a dragon's blood contract that makes it impossible for the signatories to break the mandatory terms of the contract."

"Of course, they do not have the effect of coercive restraint, but they can be based on a certain degree of warning when the contractor violates the contract, which can be regarded as a means of supervision." Fendi shrugged, "The Dragon's Blood Pact of the Lionheart Guild President doesn't have any mandatory terms, so you can feel free to sign it, but you need to understand one thing."

Fendi's voice suddenly became serious: "Write your name here, it means...... Eh, I'm not done yet!"

Halfway through Fandy's words, he saw Chu Zihang pick up a quill, dip it in the dragon's blood, and finally write his name on the parchment.

The three words "Chu Zihang" flashed with a flash of golden light, and then became inconspicuous again.

Chu Zihang turned his head to look at Fendi, "Is there anything else you need to say?"

Fendi: "...... It was there just now, but it's gone."

He sighed, picked up the gold ribbon on the table, hung it on Chu Zihang's collar with his own hands, and finally handed the lion flag to Chu Zihang.

"After the succession ceremony, someone will come to you the next day to hand over some of my previous affairs, the authority of the entire Lionheart Society will be completely handed over to you, seven secret chambers will be opened to you, more than 1,500 secret files will be available to you, and 18 departments will be sent by you, and all 128 warriors of the Lionheart Society will follow in your footsteps, hoping that you can do better than me during your tenure - in fact, you yourself are far better than me, which is why I chose you."

This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below!

Chu Zihang took the flag: "I will do my best."

Finally, the two stood together and raised their hands to everyone on the first floor, and the applause downstairs was so enthusiastic that it almost lifted the roof of the entire Norton Pavilion, and the birds flew out of the window, the sun was shining, and the ash trees also pulled out new shoots, reflecting the emerald green color in the sunlight.

……

"What a perfect succession ceremony."

In a conference room of the Kassel Academy, a man in formal clothes clapped slowly, leaning back on the wide leather chair behind him, calm and calm, and smiling gracefully.

It's like Al Pacino from The Godfather.

Handsome, calm, with a smile.

He looked away from the huge projector in front of him, then turned away

He looked at the other people around him, and everyone sitting in this room was basically some familiar face.

Elisabeth Laurent, Beowulf, little girl and butler, old man with rosary......

It is the Kassel School Council.

A few people were missing from the scene.

Hilbert Jean Angers, Frost Gattuso, and the trustee, who had been in charge of funding from the beginning and had never shown up, were also absent.

There are deficiencies, and naturally there are excess.

It was the handsome man sitting in the middle of the round table with a relaxed smile on his face.

In the gaze of so many people, the man didn't say anything at all, just applauded quietly, and it wasn't until the applause in the video slowly disappeared that he stopped his movements.

"Let's get down to business, Pompeii." Beowulf on the side called out his name, "You haven't shown up for so long, and as soon as you show up, you will hold an emergency school board meeting, don't tell me that you just want to take us to watch a group of children play house, and ......"

Beowulf looked around: "...... Ange isn't here, it's you."

Pompey spread his hands and looked innocent: "You have wronged me too much, the head of the Beowulf family, Ange himself is going to the Vatican on a mission, this is his own choice, what does it have to do with me."

Laurent's good-looking eyebrows raised, "So you mean to say that the space-based satellites above the Vatican have nothing to do with your Gattuso family."

"It's just a coincidence, a coincidence." Pompeii laughed.

Is it really a coincidence?

Everyone here knows it.

"Don't sell it, Pompeii." The rosary in the old man's hand stopped turning, and he opened one eye to look at Pompeii, "If you have something, just say it, everyone is listening."

"Okay, well, since you've said so."

Pompeii smiled like El Pacino's again.

"I'm coming back for the position of Headmaster of Kassel."

El Pacino is the emperor of the dark world, and his smile is cold even when sitting in the sun.
