Background / History

Chu Zihang was a renowned student of Shilan High School, where he was regarded as a “legend” and held the top position on the student-made “List of People Who Should Be Executed.” He was known for rejecting Liu Miaomiao’s offer of a ride during severe weather. 8 27

After entering Kassel College, Chu became president of the Lionheart as a freshman—an unprecedented appointment. The former president selected him following the Lionheart’s Freedom Day loss, and internal resistance faded after Chu demonstrated exceptional practical and academic performance. He earned A-grade evaluations in every practical course, aced his academic courses, and became recognized as Caesar’s rival. 9

He returned to his hometown for his first field mission at Professor Schneider’s request, investigating the source of the Dragon Evolution Drug and the Dead Servant incidents near Cangmang Mountain. 9 12

At home, Chu lives with his mother, Su Xiaoyan. Though he considers her unreliable, he quietly looks after her and her friends after their drinking parties, covering them with blankets and preparing warm milk. 9

Appearance

Chu is consistently described as expressionless and cold in demeanor, with Golden Pupils that ignite when he activates his hybrid abilities. 15

• Glowing Golden Pupils, the mark of an awakened hybrid. 15 21
• Carries Murasame in a tennis bag. 12

Personality

Chu Zihang is reserved, disciplined, and highly responsible. He handles Lionheart affairs with a calm, practical manner and approaches missions with professional caution, regularly reporting intelligence to Kassel College’s command center. 9 13

Despite his detached exterior, he is unwilling to abandon civilians. Haunted by what he considers his cowardice on a past rainy night, he ignores an order to retreat when Dead Servants surround the students at Cangmang Mountain. 14

He is also considerate in quieter ways: he takes care of his mother, apologizes to Lu Mingfei for his mother’s intrusive friends, and patiently explains the hybrid world to Lu. 9 21 22
