Chapter 20 Columbia University

In the early morning, Imil jumped on the spot, and finally convinced Kathlin that there was absolutely no sequelae in her body, so she won the right to go to school alone.

Oh, please, he is not a child again.

Although Emire has been carefully hiding his super abilities in front of Kathlin, he is still a 21-year-old man. Constitutionally speaking, he is also an adult, fully capable American citizen.

Columbia University is the most prestigious institution of higher learning in the world. It is located in the Morning Highlands of Manhattan, New York City, USA, near the Hudson River and north of Central Park. It is also located in the Manhattan area with the infamous Hell Kitchen. Imil can take a school bus to and from school to home.

Before the school bus could enter the school, you could see the vast campus of Columbia University from afar.

Its school name comes from Columbus, which discovered the American continent, and its English spelling is different from that of Columbia, a South American country.

In the United States, Uncle Sam is the male synonym of the United States; while the corresponding Colombia is often used as the female synonym of the United States, which is related to the cowardly temperament of Emire's body during his lifetime.

It was established in 1754 according to the Charter of Kings promulgated by King George II of England. It was named "King's College". It is one of the oldest colleges on the American continent. It was renamed Columbia University in 1896.

In the same year, Columbia University moved from Madison Avenue to Morningside Heights near Manhattan, giving the school about 32 acres of land in six blocks. Especially under the clear sky, it looked even more magnificent, reflecting the light of wisdom under the sun.

Walking off the school bus, Emire turned the corner and was shocked by the ancient building complex that rushed towards him. This is the world's largest Gothic cathedral - St. John's Cathedral in New York.

Walk a few hundred meters from the magnificent and solemn Church of St. John and cross the road, it is the campus of Columbia University.

As one of the five oldest universities in the United States, the "King's College" that is recognized as the top three in American higher education together with Harvard University and the University of Chicago does not set any special thresholds, and there are no doormen and security guards, and people can enter and exit.

Unlike the school Imil attended in his previous life, Columbia University is based on the free spirit. The students are not sitting in class with seriousness and listening to the teacher's lectures, but are distributed on the campus in groups of three or three.

Some sit at small tables and chairs, while others simply sit on the stone steps by the wall, reading books, using computers, or discussing something in a low voice; some students sit in a circle on the grass, which may be a certain interest discussion group.

However, these have nothing to do with Emier. All he has to do now is to find his mentor, Father Terence, and report to him.

Following his physical instinct, Emire walked through a trail on campus and saw the iconic library of Columbia University. On the high steps, the goddess of wisdom sat upright in the center, staring gracefully and calmly at the students and tourists coming and going.

A guard blocked Imir's pace of progress. After all, he was a research-oriented institution with extremely high scientific research. Except for ordinary teaching areas, there were many places that could not be entered or exited at will.

Imil smiled, not making things difficult for the conscientious guard, he took out his student card from the pocket of his school uniform and handed it over.

"Welcome, Mr. Imil! But Father Terence is now going to St. John's Cathedral to preside over the Mass, which may take a long time!" Unlike other students' cards, a dark golden cross sign appears faintly on Imil's student cards.

Surrounded by palm garlands on both sides, daggers and a pair of horizontally spread angel wings formed the main body of the cross. As the gatekeeper of the Seminary Library, the guard's face suddenly became respectful: "Congratulations, Mr. Imil, you have finally become an official member of the Knights of St. John!"

Columbia University Library has 23 branches, each with its own characteristics. The famous ones include the Avery Library of Architecture and Art, Butler Library, Social Work Library, Columbia University School of Journalism, East Asia Library, etc.

However, in addition to these 23 branches, there is another hidden branch that is not usually published in the public. That is, the St. John's Order Library, which is located in Columbia University, but does not belong to Columbia University.

The guards also heard that Imir was applying for the official qualification of the Knights some time ago, but they did not expect that they would stand out from many competitors so soon.

If I could have been disdainful of this cowardly young man before, Imir, who has officially joined the Knights of St. John, could not be neglected by me, a small gatekeeper.

"Father Terence? The Knights of St. John?" Imil calmly took back his student card and returned a smile to the humble gatekeeper: "Thank you for your reminder."

It seems that he is right that behind the murder of Imir's body, there must be a major secret.

There are various powers in the world of superheroes, and there are countless organizations formed by these superpowered people gathered together. For example, the X Academy established by Professor X is one of them, but it is not unique.

As a church that once ruled Europe for more than ten centuries, it also has its own mysterious power. For example, Eric Brooks (Blade Warrior) fights vampire hunters in the dark world, or exorcists who have been fighting against the evil spirits and devils of Satan, such as Lucifer, Mephitus, and others in the middle of hell.

And this Knights of St. John is undoubtedly the brain and wisdom center of the fighting power in the church. It has the richest and most comprehensive collection of books that the church can collect. Any book that is qualified to be collected here may be able to change the world.

Over the years, I don’t know how many exorcist families or mutants want to go deep into the library of the Knights of St. John to find out, even if you can only study here for one month and one day.

For these people who have mastered super abilities, power is everything. After savoring the pleasure brought by power, they will definitely become addicted and addicted to it. In order to improve their power, they are willing to pay any price for it.

Imil guessed correctly. In this world, after inheriting Longineus's surname, his life and the power of the church were destined to be involved.

However, due to the vague memories in his body, Emire has not yet realized this. For him, this is just an extremely ordinary branch in the Columbia University Library. Even though the guards are a little tight, he still has no idea about supernatural aspects.
