Anime: The younger brother of the Sawada family

Chapter 199 Ulysses

Students in grades one and two recently discovered that two of their friends had a new accessory on them: one was a necklace hanging around their neck, and the other was an earring on their left ear.

It seems that it has gradually become a habit for Gojo Satoru to touch his earrings when he is free or in a daze, which makes Geto Suguru and Nozomi very confused.

"Hmm? This." After showing off for so long, Gojo Satoru finally got someone to ask about it and said excitedly, "This is a birthday present from Xiao Mi~"

"..." Xia Yujie's mouth twitched, and he knew it.

"This is actually a defensive item. According to him, it can defend against mental attacks." Gojo Satoru took off the earrings and pinched them with two fingers.

The pale blue gem in the center is the same color as his eyes. The earrings are in the shape of an eight-pointed star with slightly longer corners. The overall color is mainly blue and white. They are very small and if placed on the earlobe, they will only be seen as a small blue dot.

The most important thing is that this earring does not require ear piercing and can be directly attached to the ear. It has built-in recognition and summoning functions, so there is no need to worry about accidentally losing it.

Not to mention Geto Suguru, even Nazori wanted to grab it after hearing the introduction of these functions, but that was just a thought... Damn it! How could he let this guy trick people away!

What they didn't know was that after learning that this guy's birthday was in December, Miyin dug out the alchemy textbook overnight and secretly collected materials, and only then did he barely catch up on time. Although he thought he could do better... forget it, he would slowly revise it when he had time later.

December 25th, Christmas Day.

After saying goodbye to Tsunayoshi, Yae was surprised to find a familiar figure standing outside his house. It seemed as if the figure was about to ring the doorbell.

"Yuri?"

"Long time no see~Will." The person who came was Ulysses, "Merry Christmas~"

"Why are you at my door? Do you want to come in and sit down?" Miyin asked in confusion.

"I asked Luna for the address. The blond man I met at the Triwizard Tournament brought me here. I won't be going in. I'll be leaving soon." Ulysses smiled at him. "I just wanted to come and see you after not seeing you for a year."

"How about we talk while walking?" This reminder reminded Miyin of what they had seen before. There was no way around it, as too many things had happened in the past two years.

"I hope you don't mind me taking up half an hour of your time." The other party was obviously getting ready to go out, so Ulysses naturally wouldn't disturb him for too long.

The two walked side by side towards the river. Yayin sent a message to Gojo Satoru saying that he had something urgent to do and would be late for half an hour. The other party immediately sent him an emoticon of a crying cat.

"Why did you suddenly think of coming to see me? You didn't even send me a message in advance." After briefly chatting about recent developments, Miyin asked.

"After all, we haven't seen each other for a year, and I heard from my master a while ago that you forged a knife yourself. It's a weapon that she praised several times. I really want to see it." Ulysses replied with a smile.

"Oh, that one." Miyin raised his hand and summoned the knife, and did not forget to cast a small barrier around it to avoid being discovered by others. Although there were not many people here, there were still a few scattered here.

Ulysses took the knife, pulled it out slightly to observe, then closed it after a few seconds and returned it: "As expected of you, your single move is beyond my reach."

"There's no need to belittle yourself like that, Yuli." Miyin put away the knife, removed the barrier, and said nothing more.

"Don't comfort me. I know I have no talent." Ulysses patted his shoulder. "The master only accepted me as his apprentice because our mothers knew each other."

“…” Miyin did not reply.

"Perhaps I'm really not suited to this field. Fortunately, Master still has you as his disciple." Ulysses looked at him for a moment and smiled faintly. "Next year, my internship will be over, and I will most likely stay at Hogwarts as a professor or teaching assistant. The chances of meeting you may become even fewer in the future."

"Yuli..." The news received in the future was indeed that the other party had become a professor, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon?

"So I'll have to trouble you to take care of the master, little junior brother~" Ulysses bent down slightly and gently touched his head, just like he did when he was a child.

"Don't talk as if we'll never meet again." Miyin just stared at him without waving him away. "After all these years, don't you know what kind of person Master is? No one can force her to do anything she doesn't want to do."

The master accepted the disciple voluntarily.

"Yes, I know." Ulysses' smile was bitter. "So I am the one who let her down. I am a useless disciple."

When Ofitina accepted him as her apprentice, she suffered countless ridicules from her peers. A famous weapon master would actually accept a loser as his apprentice. In the following years, as they said, he did not produce any results, and even his learning progress slowed down. It was not until Miyin appeared that he slapped them in the face and the group of people calmed down.

Having two genius-level beings around him made him panic.

Later, he received the admission letter to Hogwarts, but Professor McGonagall, who came to pick him up, took a liking to Miyin, who was only eight years old at the time, and took the two of them back together.

Ulysses was under even greater pressure. He was constantly learning, trying to catch up a little...

But he couldn't catch up.

The day the first grade ended was also the day Miyin graduated.

They both entered school together, but the other one graduated directly through the exam. Such a huge gap made him rush into the room after seeing him off at the airport, until a few days later, Ofitina kicked the door open and kicked him out.

He began to study magic madly, taking the first place in every exam, determined to do his best in everything.

He became the representative of Ravenclaw, known for his diligence.

But he still couldn't catch up with the person in his heart. The young boy who could walk shoulder to shoulder with him at that time has now grown to a height that he cannot reach, and will go further and further away in the future until he can no longer see him.

When he was treated coldly and suffered injustice, it was the other party who cleared everything for him. At that time, he secretly made up his mind to become stronger and no longer be the one being protected.

That was his childhood companion and the goal he wanted to surpass, but this goal was too far away and he could not catch up.

The naive feelings of his childhood have kept him going until now, but now he can only bury these feelings. The other person deserves someone better, and that person is not him.

After figuring this out, he wanted to come and meet the other party, as a way of saying goodbye to his past relationship.

"Will...I..." I like you, very much.

But now I want to let go of this relationship because I am not worthy of being that person.

"What's wrong?" Miyin tilted her head in confusion.

"Um... nothing." Ulysses ruffled his brown hair. "I just feel... it's great that I can meet you."

"Why are you saying this suddenly?" Miyin rubbed his arms, trying to get rid of the goose bumps. He became even more confused, and always felt like something was wrong.

"I just suddenly felt a little emotional. It's okay, don't worry about it." Ulysses ruffled his brown hair even more, and smiled lightly, as if he had been relieved of something. "By the way, is half an hour almost up?"

"Five more minutes." Miyin took out her phone and took a look. "Are you leaving?"

"Well, it's about time." Ulysses looked at him and suddenly noticed that he seemed to have something hanging around his neck, so he moved closer. "Eh? When did you start wearing a necklace?"

"Um...this is..."

Miyin was thinking about how to explain when a white-haired creature suddenly jumped out from behind him, pulled him back hard, and bumped into a hard chest.

"What do you want to do to him?" The man took off his sunglasses and spoke viciously.
