The bookshelves in the ancient books area are all raised to the ceiling and are made of Burmese hardwood. They have an iron-like brilliance and color under the light. There are endless hardcover books on display on the bookshelves. When you open them, they are filled with transparent seals that drain away the air.
folder.
Chu Zihang stood in front of the innermost bookshelf, holding a book in his hand.
In addition, the table next to him is filled with ancient books and refurbished books, showing that he has been in this place for a long time, as if he was looking for something. The bookshelf above his head is numbered 7, with the word "ancient" on the back.
The text has several words written on it, which translates to "Lion's Heart".
The night outside the window was like water, gently falling on the pages of the book in Chu Zihang's hand, "The first generation of the Lion Heart Society... Meneke Cassel... Lu Shanyan... Hilbert Jean
·Angers…”
Suddenly, Chu Zihang suddenly looked at the wooden stairs leading to the library's floor. His golden eyes looked like a vigilant cat in the darker light. He closed the book in his hand and asked, "Who?"
First, he saw a pair of beautiful eyes, and then a slender girl appeared cautiously at the top of the stairs. It was Su Qian with braids. The girl held two bags and raised her eyebrows at Chu Zihang, "Have you eaten?
?I heard from Xia Xian that you should be here."
Chu Zihang put down the booklet in his hand, picked up a contact lens case from the table, took out two contact lenses and put them on his eyes, tilted his head and looked at Su Qian: "Is something wrong?"
"Can you come over?" Susie stood there and blinked.
Two minutes later, on the balcony of the library, the evening breeze of the summer night was already very comfortable, swaying the roses in the vase on the round table in the sitting area.
Chu Zihang bit his hamburger and said nothing.
Susie, who was sitting opposite, looked at the other side of the balcony. Looking down from the highest floor of the library, she saw the spacious Odin Square, the church-like teaching building, and the bell tower that shook in the distance. "Chu Zihang"
, do you want to join the Lionheart Club?"
Chu Zihang slowly swallowed the last bite of the burger, folded the paper package twice, packed it and put it into a plastic bag. He hesitated for a moment: "Is this why you came here to ask?"
Susie smiled and said: "Caesar seems to have found all the A-level students in this class, of course...including me."
"You want to join the student union?" Chu Zihang nodded, "It's a good choice. Caesar is a very good leader. Although sometimes I don't agree with his ideas, he may be an excellent friend."
"You haven't said a few words to him, have you? How do you act like you know him very well?" Susie said curiously.
"Although I don't want to admit it, he is right. Excellent people will attract each other. I am not boasting, but the atmosphere he created that made me feel at odds with me made me have to consider my relationship with him." Chu Zihang said
.In fact, people who want to be his opponents have always existed from before to now, but they have not persisted until the end.
The tortoise and the hare can race, but how can humans and monsters race?
"You are also very good." Susie seemed to have the courage to say this.
"Excellent? When I was young, I knew a black belt who practiced Taekwondo. He liked to bully me very much." Chu Zihang said casually.
Susie was stunned, "What then?"
She didn't expect that people like Chu Zihang would be bullied.
"I went to practice kendo and challenged him." Chu Zihang said, "Every time he kicked his leg, I hit him. When I knocked his leg off for the last time, he was surprised and asked me why.
"
"Why?" Susie also asked subconsciously.
"No reason." Chu Zihang shook his head, "It's just that I practiced ten thousand times, and every time I aimed at his legs in my imagination."
Susie blinked, and her eyes full of surprise slowly calmed down. This seemingly distant boy became very close tonight, very real, flesh and blood. She was a little lucky that she came to the library with dinner today, otherwise she would have been
Can't hear this story.
"So...you haven't answered my question yet." Susie smiled and said, "Are you going to join the Lionheart Club?"
"Anders Brown, the president of the Lionheart Club, came to see me two days ago," Chu Zihang said. "He said that I was the most promising among the freshmen. After he graduates, the position of president will be mine."
Susie nodded: "It's expected."
From the beginning to the present, there is not a single teacher who doesn’t like Chu Zihang. This young man from China is calm and sober. He completes the homework in each class extremely well. He also has an A-level pedigree and is the student of the head of the executive department.
title, no one can find a second freshman who is qualified for that position.
If the Lionheart Club wants to continue to compete with the student union led by Caesar, it must not only rely on its foundation, but also rely on new talented leaders.
"But I actually don't care about that seat." Chu Zihang's eyes moved and looked in the direction where he was reading just now.
"Are you checking something these days?" Susie followed his line of sight.
"The history of the Lion Heart Society is almost the same as the history of the Secret Party." Chu Zihang rarely wanted to speak, perhaps because the girl in front of him was also a fellow who entered the academy at the same time, or perhaps because he did have too many confusions in his heart.
No solution, talking to people can alleviate the boring feeling caused by historical books and information to a certain extent.
"All the outstanding dragon slayers in history came from the Lion Heart Club. Menike Cassel, Lu Shanyan... Their power is difficult to be restrained by bloodline ratings." Chu Zihang pondered.
, frowning slightly, looking like a handsome man walking out of an anime in the moonlight, it was a pity that he couldn't see it himself.
"But I checked all the records of the Lion Heart Society in the Cassel College library, and I vaguely feel that there is something missing in them." Chu Zihang looked deeply at the rust-colored bookshelf under the light, "
It lacks the most mysterious thing that distinguishes the Lionheart Society from other mature groups. I guess that may involve a deeper secret of the hybrid race, but there must be a way to make people powerful."
"I will join the Lionheart Club." He glanced at Susie.
Susie nodded and made her choice.
...
The principal's office is not far from the Hall of Valor. It is an inconspicuous two-story building surrounded by trees. From the outside, it looks as simple as a garage, but it has a completely different feeling inside.
The whole house is just a bookshelf. The first and second floors are connected. There is a huge skylight on the central patio, inlaid with frosted glass. It is covered with last autumn's leaves and has not been cleaned. The four walls are high enough to cover except for oil paintings.
The bookshelves on the ceiling are equipped with sets of hardcover books and rubbings of ancient books. The stairs and platforms attached to the bookshelves are high and low, making it easier for people to climb up and down in this huge bookshelf room.
Normally, no one would come to the principal's office at night.
But tonight may be an exception.
The black shadow, as strong as a monkey, walked back and forth between the bookshelf platforms on the first and second floors without making any sound. If it weren't for the dust brought up by his figure that looked like a floating elf in the moonlight, no one would have noticed this trapped figure.
Dark shadow.
The black shadow looked exactly like Chu Zihang who was immersed in studying in the library. He held more than ten extremely thick books in his arms. The black shadow's face could not be seen clearly under the huge hood. He could only hear a small, fly-like self-talk.

"How could the secret of Lionheart be found in the library? That fool..."
