Volume 1 Chapter 27.5 Interval #9

Going back a few hours ago, in the evening, Ouyang Xue had accepted Edwards invitation to dine with him and they arrived at a restaurant in school.

Despite the repair team taking merely two hours to fix Edwards dormitory, Ouyang Xue was still startled by the incident. Therefore, it was better to eat at a private room of the restaurant.

Within Augustus Academy, there were free of charge meal halls and also restaurants that charged. Due to the fact that many of the students were members of nobility or from rich families, the setting of the restaurant was rather important. At the restaurant, the food was delicious and the interior of the private rooms could be decorated based on ones preference.

Wah, its so pretty! This is the first time Ive been to such a place. Edward has specifically chosen a private room that had the setting of nature. Entering it, one felt like they were staying among mountains. The tranquility made it very suitable for small talk and it did not lack natures vitality.

Seeing how happy Ouyang Xue was, Edward was very satisfied: As long as you like it.

Bros not coming? This was Ouyang Xues first sentence after sitting down.

Your brother has some matters to attend to today. He wont be coming.

Ohh, Bros not coming Ouyang Xue looked disappointed after hearing that.

During dinner, Edward did not choose any ordinary meal but instead chose a barbeque buffet. It matched to the environment pretty well and it felt like an outdoor barbeque session.

Thats why, in the past, it was always me whos protecting Bro in school.

Heh heh, so thats the case.

Since Ouyang Tao wasnt around. Ouyang Xue started their conversation. She narrated to Edward stories of their past.

However, at that point in time, I really never expected my brother to be able to get in Augustus Academy. Furthermore, it was Mechanical Engineering which was better than me Ugh Im slightly jealous.

I feel that it just as your brother said, everyone has their own specialities. In his innate attributes, Metal took up almost all of it. You however, is talented and your innate potential are all spread evenly amongst all the Elements.

Eh? Edward, how can you tell? This was a question that Ouyang Xue had always wanted to ask since yesterday.

Logically speaking, everyones magical attributes was fixed and was every magicians secret. There were even times that the magician himself does not know it (For example, Ouyang Tao). If one does not undergo secret tests, it was near impossible to find out. However, Edward could tell just by looking.

This, lets just say that its one of the things Im good at. Edward replied while smiling: Frankly speaking, compared to fighting, my speciality lies in observations and research. Furthermore, based on magical attributes, Im more suited for the Elements or Illusions department.

Eh? Since you know that, why are you still studying Mechanical Engineering?

This Hehe Edward forced a smile. This was probably the biggest frustration for him, Its not wrong to say that I dont have a choice in this matter.

Why? My Bro always say, if one does not do what he likes or is good at, then whats the point? Ouyang Xue asked in an astonished manner.

Thats right There isnt much meaning Doing something he did not like and not even able to have a choice of his own; Edward was always very pained about it. This pain was something only Edward himself knew, Therefore, on this point, you siblings are very similar. I really envy you two.

It did not matter whether it was Ouyang Tao or Ouyang Xue; both of them possessed the same positive and optimistic attitude. They led their lives making their own choices.

And now, Edward also wanted to make a choice based on what he wanted

Aiya, its the first time someone said were similar. Without waiting for Edward to continue, Ouyang Xue popped such a phrase out from nowhere.

Oh?

Actually, Brother and I arent blood related.

Which means to say You two arent blood related?

Yup, that is why most people say that we arent like siblings at all. There are times when people mistake us for couples, hehe.

So thats it

Ouyang Xue just spoke causally. And though the one speaking had meant no harm, the one that listened was still hurt.

Although he had made his decision, Edward now knew that there was no point in saying it anymore.

In the young girls heart, there was already an irreplaceable person
