Section C, Chapter I: Gender Issues (Deerno)

"By the way, you're called the Gatekeeper?" De Nor paused for a moment, then asked, "No other name?"

"Of course, the gatekeeper of the Mage Academy must be unusual!" The gatekeeper looked proud: "The magic mecha at the original door has not been canceled, you see!"

Following his fingers, Deerno did see the magic mechs he hadn't noticed: they were sitting on the floor playing poker. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAfter a magic mecha loses the battle, he still hugs his head and wails in pain, covering his energy block and not wanting others to take it.

As a result, he was beaten for cheating.

"And the dumplings. Pointing to another place, Derno was stunned when he looked along, and he had nothing to say: the danzi family that originally played with children had a big blue dango that could watch the door. It was two meters tall and was now blocked in a side door. One of the Aya mages was rolling around on top of it, and finally fell to the ground and cried loudly. After a while, an arcane golem picked it up and carried it back to the academy castle.

In the Thirteen Worlds, Aidya City, where the Mage Academy is located, is one of the few cities where Aiya can live safely.

"Gargoyles and arcane golems are still there, too. Finally, pointing to the gargoyles that were motionless like bronze sculptures and the arcane golems who were busy playing basketball and were covered in thin magical metal, the gatekeeper was extremely excited: "How's that, it's good?"

...... How do you feel very unreliable...... Who got all this? Looking at the group of basketball golems, Deerno didn't know what to say: two patrol magic armor bodies were sitting on the ground with two other students playing Chi: The Gathering (a card game similar to Magic).

The other is playing chess with a gargoyle who has escaped from the post. After a while, it attracted many gargoyles and dragon eagles to watch. They howled loudly and constantly pointed out what to do next.

Even the chess players didn't do much, and the few chess watchers started fighting without saying a word.

...... I always feel that their level of intelligence is scary.

"Oh yes. You don't know yet, do you?" the gatekeeper sat back in his seat, his face full of seriousness: "Gargoyles or something, it's just a sapient species." However, the IQ of a construct like the Magic Colossus has always been a hard wound. Therefore, our academy is always trying to find ways to improve their intelligence. So ......"

"So that's it?" Deenor looked at the group of colossias who were gathering to gamble in disbelief: "They can even fight the landlord and play at 21 o'clock." ”

"Not only that, but also art. Coughing, the doorkeeper rolled over the table and took out a telescope: "Here, look at the roof." ”

Suspiciously taking the binoculars, Deenor looked at the roof of the building, shocked to the fact that on the roof was a colossus of magic energy sitting on the ground facing an easel. It holds a brush and palette in its leisurely hand, carefully scribbling colors onto the canvas.

The content of the painting is a bird's-eye view of the entire city of Eddia.

"Last time it painted a picture and sold it for ten euros. The gatekeeper laughed: "Look, the magic energy colossus is so powerful, you are still a waste." ”

"Maybe I'm still a waste...... "Deirno felt a pang of frustration: "Nothing." ”

"Of course!" "Of course!" "Look at how literary and artistic people are." ”

"......" hung his head in annoyance, and Deenor felt a great distress of life.

"Hey, hey, how can a young man lose confidence in himself?" Hearing this, the gatekeeper immediately patted Denor's shoulder: "Say you're not happy?"

"Nonsense! You didn't do it?" said Denor, who immediately came to his senses and exclaimed angrily.

"In short, our college is quite advanced in technology now, and we are also considering expanding and expanding our enrollment. As an old student, you should be quite happy, right?" the gatekeeper instantly bypassed the conversation.

"Of course!" Derno immediately came to his senses, his expression slightly relaxed: "...... I've been here for eight years. ”

Derno came to the Mage Academy at the age of sixteen, and was twenty-four when he returned to Neverwinter after eight years of schooling. Now that Deenor is only twenty-six years old, the changes that have taken place in the academy in the past two years can be considered quite ...... Of course, only in terms of what has been achieved.

Now Deenor Nams looked at the academy and couldn't help but feel a sense of loss. Because two years ago, he was the same student who could come and go in and out of the academy every day. And now I want to go in, but I will be stopped by the doorman.

Sometimes he really wondered if he really made the right decision to go home in the first place, Neverwinter was his roots, but this place of magic and memories was clearly more suitable for him. In any case, Deerno is also familiar with many magic texts and alchemy recipes, so it is not difficult to find a job here.

Even, it was not impossible for him to stay with the curator and become a librarian.

Captain Eders wants to train him to be an adjutant and future successor, but a self-conscious Deerno wonders if he can do it, and if it's worth the big expectations - or does he like that kind of life?

He felt that one of the reasons for inviting the curator was also a personal affair - he wanted to see the college and the city he loved again.

He wanted to know what kind of life he longed for the most, and now he still didn't get the answer, but his heart was already stirring.

"Okay, let's register quickly, don't waste time. Touching a large bag, the gatekeeper pulled out a notebook, hurriedly flipped through a few pages, cleared his throat, and began to ask, "Ahem...... Name?"

"Derno Nams. ”

"Gender?" asked the doorkeeper without raising his eyes.

"Uh...... Is this necessary to ask?" Derno choked.

"Of course, what if you're like that guy over there?" he pointed to a cute white-haired girl who was playing cards in the yard very seriously, and said slowly, "What do you think of her male and female?"

"Do you need to ask?" After carefully looking at the beautiful figure and tail of the girl with cat ears, Derno said strangely, "Isn't it just an orc girl? ”

"No, that's a man. The gatekeeper looked at the stunned Derno proudly, and shook his head regretfully: "Look, there will always be people of unknown gender." ”

"Huh?" Denor's three views were strongly shocked. He stared at the man in shock for a long time, and then stumbled, "But...... It's a ...... no matter how you look at it."

"Hey...... You are too pure, young man. The pseudo-lady has it, and you will see more in the future. The gatekeeper sighed and put on a scheming expression: "Come on, don't keep staring." Be careful not to fall in love with him. ”
