Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Gini Hut
The shape is like a flying eagle and has horns, and the sound is like a baby and cannibalism, which is for the Gu carving.
Unlike the other streets that Zheng Qing and the others passed, there seemed to be an exceptionally large number of young people on Gu Diao Street.
Of course, similar to the other pedestrians in the northern district of Beta, these young men were dressed very differently from Zheng Qing and others, and most of them wore gray robesβnot the smooth fabrics of the school workers' mage robes with constant magical effects, but simple robes made of linen or plain silk.
Zheng Qing and others walked in it, and they felt a little bit out of the crowd.
It makes everyone uncomfortable.
"What is the Gini Hut?" In between looking for No. 33 Gu Diao Street, Zheng Qing tried to distract himself by discussing other issues, making himself more comfortable with the gaze of passers-by.
The two companions seemed to have similar thoughts.
"The Gini Hut is a small magic club," Xiao Xiao gave the answer almost immediately after Zheng Qing's question: "The members are mainly young people from the North District, and they are not very talented, but they are all determined to study...... As far as I know, almost all the young people in this club failed the first university entrance exam and failed to enter the university, but they were unwilling to give up the wizarding path, so they gathered together and tried various means to further their education. β
Here, he uses young people, not young wizards or young magicians, and this detail is captured by Zheng Qing.
"Young people. Zheng Qing chewed on the word: "It means, it is less than the top, and more than the bottom." β
"That's the hardest part. Xin Fatzi nodded approvingly: "If they really only have the level of a trickster, naturally they won't have any hope for the future, but if they really reach the school's enrollment level, they don't have to be so anxious." β
Zheng Qing has a lot of affection for this.
Some of his former classmates had mediocre academic performance, and it was a pity to study junior college, but it was a little worse to read two books. In contrast, the choice of young people at Gini Cottage is not surprising.
"In other words, this is a 'repeat class' for the wizard college entrance examination. Zheng Qing concluded.
"Although your words are not entirely appropriate, the context is still a little bit here. Xiao Xiao nodded.
"Not appropriate?" Zheng Qing was a little curious about Xiao Xiao's answer.
"Because it's a 'magic club', not a 'study club'. Xin Fatzi answered Zheng Qing's confusion on the side: "If the members of the Gini hut brush up on the real questions and make papers every day like we do in the final exam, then it is appropriate to call it a repeat class...... But in fact, the members of Gini House prefer to shop the streets for pieces of spells that have been turned out of the horns, and then work together to figure out how to cast them with the least amount of magic. β
"That's what I just said that they 'don't have a lot of talent,' and that's what I meant. Xiao Xiao also added: "Of course, there is also the influence of Alpha Academy...... After being judged by Alpha to be inadequate, their only option is to work hard to reach their potential. β
The explanations of the two made Zheng Qing's brain even more confused.
"But why?" the young public-funded student's brows furrowed into a pimple: "Why don't they take the exams of other colleges? Just like Nicholas. β
In Zheng Qing's impression, Nicholas was originally from Alpha Academy, and then changed academies twice in a row before becoming a student of Jiuyou Academy.
So, in his opinion, God closes a door, then go and open the window. You don't have to slam behind the door at all.
Xiao Xiao sighed.
"You should live in Beta for a while longer to increase your knowledge of the wizarding world. The doctor lifted his glasses and raised two fingers: "Two reasons." β
"First, Beta Town is the Beta Town of Fort Alpha, in other words, whether it is the East District, the West District, the South District, the North District, the convex area or the concave area, it is an area under the direct jurisdiction of Alpha...... You can think of it as a 'school district,' and students who live in the North Side don't really have a lot of choice. β
"And they actually despise wizards from other academies, just as the down-and-out aristocracy of the nineteenth century looked down on the rich Americans, and there was a not-so-clear chain of contempt. Fat Xin added an explanation next to him.
Zheng Qing felt a little incredulous - the future was gone, and there was still a mind to despise them?
Xiao Xiao didn't interrupt the fat man's addition, and when he stopped, he put away a finger and continued: "Second, not everyone can be Nicholas. Nicholas was a student at the First University before he had the right to choose his college. And the young people we just mentioned didn't even cross the threshold of the first university. β
In addition, it is said that ...... Of course, I've only heard about that. Fat Xin looked carefully left and right, and said in a low voice: "It is said that Nicholas's sister is very talented...... So, you know, the school took care of him in a sense. β
"It's not fair. Zheng Qing muttered on the ground.
"Fair, a typical way of thinking. Xiao Xiao disagreed with Zheng Qing's entanglement: "In Alpha's view, fairness is actually a pseudo-concept, and nothing is fair...... In contrast, they care more about freedom and justice. β
"Even if this freedom brings chaos, poverty, and despair?" Zheng Qing felt that his worldview was covered with cow dung.
"They are all free, how can they be desperate?" Xin Fatzi's cross-examination made Zheng Qing unable to speak.
"Well, this is it. Xiao Xiao stopped, interrupted the discussion between the two companions, and motioned for them to look up at the nameplate. Only then did Zheng Qing notice that they had already walked far along Gu Diao Street.
At this moment, what appeared in front of them was a two-story building with white walls and black tiles, a wooden building, and a simple shape. Outside the small building, there is a small garden with a few cherry blossoms growing in the four corners of the garden. On the side of the street, there is a row of low brick walls, the wall is more than one meter high, and the gentleman is not afraid of the villain. However, the gate in the center of the wall was a little tall, and Zheng Qing looked at it and felt that he was as tall as two of himself.
The gate is made in the shape of an archway, the left and right fans are closed, and a copper bell is hung on it.
Looking over the fence, the garden was empty, except for colorful cherry blossoms, which covered the ground with a thin carpet of flowers.
"This is it. Xiao Xiao pointed to the nameplate on the wall and repeated what he had just said.
Zheng Qing looked fixedly, and on the nameplate, a row of big characters was clearly marked 'No. 33 Gudiao Street'. Underneath the large letters, there are two rows of small white letters.
The first row reads '1st Floor: Sakura Tavern' and the second row reads '2nd Floor: Gini's Enchanted Cottage'.
