New Gods of North America

As a student majoring in history, the courses I study are naturally mainly various types of history.

So over the course of a week, Wayne moved to different classrooms, studying different courses with classmates who gradually became familiar or unfamiliar to him.

And gradually become busy and numb...

George and Anna College is very proud to be the first college in the United States to have a course elective system.

Therefore, the types of courses that can be chosen here are quite fancy, even in this era.

If we want to classify, there are probably several categories of courses that Wayne needs to learn:

General education courses in higher education are basically "large courses", but the number of students in the same class is not particularly large, and the upper limit is the capacity of the relatively large classroom. The content covers more professional grammar, philosophy, mathematics, science and art.

The number of students taking the required courses within the college is relatively small, and the batches are also smaller, such as the philosophy of theology, theology theory, the study of the Holy Scriptures, and the sociology of religion.

The number of students in corresponding professional categories varies, such as the general history of the world, the history of civilization of the Old World, the general history of America with a special status, and the preliminary exploration of archaeological and cultural relics research with relatively large practical significance, which Wayne is currently studying.

There will be more professional and detailed national history, chronological history, civilization history, as well as corresponding courses on writing, language, culture and art.

It is said that some relatively unpopular or difficult courses even require one-on-one guidance from professors.

However, Wayne could see the overall curriculum design idea of ​​the college.

Some courses are taken together, but different majors have different requirements for grades and homework;

Some courses are mandatory, and if you fail to meet the assessment requirements after repeated retakes, you will basically say goodbye to your diploma in advance.

Some courses have entry requirements. You need to obtain a "good" or above grade in the prerequisite courses and obtain the approval of the corresponding professor before you will be allowed to continue your studies.

Anyway, it's Wayne's first week of school.

It is already filled up with various existing courses and assignments.

Meow,

How come colleges and universities in this era are even more competitive than those in modern society...

Most students are busy like monkeys walking on a tightrope.

Although no one urged us to do so, it seemed as if everyone knew that if we stopped moving, we might fall down.

Of course, there are also some students who look so happy and leisurely that it's annoying.

…

It's weekend time.

Thanks to the Holy Spirit Church, there are no classes in school on the days when the pastors preach every week - but forget about having a weekend off.

George and Anna College has its own chapel and full-time pastor.

In theory, this is an independent parish, but in reality it is under the management of George Berg's church. The specific wording used is probably something like "undergoing guidance."

Since there are many old professors with profound theological knowledge or high moral character in the seminary, as well as some monks who are still studying,

Therefore, the elderly priest with white hair and beard in the college church seemed unusually "dignified" and "modest".

It's very rigid and standard. If you break down the process, it would be very textbook-level and rigid.

After the week, I returned to the dormitory.

Wayne was ready to toss a coin in response to the invitation from the Pointed Hat Society.

front,

Then I'll go tonight and see what kind of tests the fraternity gives to new members these days. At least the room that Ian Fisk has reserved for me is really nice, spacious and bright. And if I live there, I don't have to worry about being reported if I go out and don't come back.

On the reverse side,

Then I'll stay in the dorm and have a good nap to make up for the sleep, and then finish the assignments as soon as possible in the order they are due. Anyway, parties these days are just so-so, and if I want to graduate with good grades, I don't think I have much time to hang out in fraternities.

"bite--"

The silver coin was thrown into the air and then landed on the desk, with its afterimage rolling like a "ball".

Then the "ball" turned into a "wheel" and rolled out along the table, rolling all the way to the dormitory door, looking like it was about to "hit the wall".

At this moment, the door of the dormitory suddenly opened inward.

"Building Manager" Macon Reeve was still in the posture of knocking on the door, looking at the dormitory door innocently as he opened it. Facing Wayne's direct gaze, he seemed a little at a loss.

And the silver coin that rolled over,

The person following McCann Reeve bent down and picked it up.

Hiss...what's this guy's name?

One of the tutors of Mr. Ben Harmon's youngest son was a very good shooter, but he was slow in aiming even when shooting a bull's eye at close range.

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment for a moment.

Finally, it was the honest man Macon Reeve who spoke first with some hesitation:

"Wayne, this is Senior Seth Grayson, a fourth-year student at the Language Academy. He said he's your visitor, and I was just about to ask if you wanted to receive him..."

Then you shouldn’t bring him directly to the dormitory door...what if I really don’t want to see him?

Wayne could only point his hand in the direction of the dormitory and gesture:

"Come in, Mr. Grayson. And thank you, Macon."

Mackenzie Reeve was really an honest man. He nodded and said, "You're welcome."

Seth Grayson walked into the dormitory, and at first glance, this guy's eyes were actually quite deep.

He turned around and nodded silently, as if greeting Macon Reeve, then closed the door of the dormitory.

Wayne casually pointed to another chair not far from the desk and said, "Please sit down."

Seth Grayson's sitting posture is not right.

He put his knees together, a hardcover book on them, his hands together holding the book on top, and his back straight.

Wayne originally thought he was an old acquaintance visiting, but looking at his expression, it was obvious that he was not in a position to communicate with his "junior".

So Wayne raised his eyebrows slightly, "Mr. Grayson, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Just call me Seth, Mr. Wayne."

Wayne's original impression of Seth Grayson was that he should be a person with a sharp mind.

His reaction at this moment seemed a little "slow".

How to describe it?

It feels like after he heard what you said, he thought about it first, and then answered carefully.

Then Seth Grayson handed over the hardcover book in his hand.

The silver coin he had just picked up was also placed on the cover.

Wayne casually threw the silver coins onto the table.

Then he opened the book.

There was a bookmark in the book, and it turned out to be a relatively thick notebook.

What was written inside seemed to be someone's diary:

"Investigating this case with us is a detective agency made up of sheltered degenerates, it seems to be called the 'Wayne National Detective Agency'.

“One of them was a lady who called herself Lina. Holy Spirit, I know I shouldn’t have those worldly thoughts, but she was really beautiful and kind. I talked to her for a while, and this time was like a long dream to me.

"She was a lady who was very curious about the church, so I told her a lot of things I knew, including some interesting things that happened between me and my companions, and some small details of my daily duties in the cathedral..."

Seth Grayson carefully checked Wayne's expression and spoke thoughtfully:

"As a Beyonder, secretly arranging people to investigate the church, especially the internal situation of the cathedral, is a serious provocation to the church. If other bishops find out, even if you have the protection of Bishop Corleone, you must go to the archdiocese that raised the question to be questioned.

"This diary was a relic of a church wardens. He was buried last week in Georgeburg, and I got hold of it by a little trick. Then I found this by accident.

"If it falls into the hands of someone who is interested and powerful, it is effective 'evidence'. Given the church's attitude towards 'fallen people', it may be enough to convict."

Wayne closed the diary and flicked his fingertips across the hardcover several times. "What do you want to say?"
