Restoration (3)
"No, nothing," Athena said calmly. She knew that even if Ye Lang heard it, he might not do anything about it, especially since he couldn't hear clearly.
"Let's tidy up!" Ye Lang didn't care, waved his hand, and then started tidying up the house. His way of tidying up the house was rather special. He used alchemy to restore all the broken things.
He can restore something to its original state as long as it's still there, but that only applies to the surface. He can't control the internal changes unless the thing is his own and something he understands.
"?!" Athena stared blankly at this amazing sight. She still didn't know that Ye Lang was an alchemist, and even if she did, she didn't know that Ye Lang could do this.
She had heard of the wonders of alchemy, which in theory could transform anything. Although it couldn't create anything out of nothing and required equal amounts of materials, this transformation was something many people dreamed of.
Ye Lang perfectly demonstrated this change. Of course, it's not that others can't do it; it's relatively easy, and most alchemists can do it.
However, while it's possible to do it, there aren't many people who can do it as easily as Ye Lang!
"Young Master, noodles are ready!" Tiger Girl wasn't as surprised as Athena when she came out. She seemed as if nothing had happened, as if she hadn't noticed that her furniture had been restored.
"This, this is?" Compared to Tiger Girl, Athena felt that Taiya's reaction was normal. Looking at her surprised expression, her little mouth could fit an egg.
"Time to eat noodles..." Upon hearing that it was time to eat noodles, Ye Lang immediately ran over and started eating, abandoning everything else. However, it seemed that there was nothing else to do.
"Athena, what's going on? Weren't all these things rotten just now? Am I dreaming?" The catgirl was very confused, which made her even cuter.
"Yes, you're not dreaming, it's all rotten!" Athena said.
"Then how could this be?" The catgirl's head was full of question marks.
"It was restored by the young master using alchemy. It's not difficult for him!" Tiger Girl answered before Athena could speak. Tiger Girl's words made Athena understand why Tiger Girl hadn't shown any surprise before. It turned out that she already knew what had happened.
"Oh..."
The catgirl finally understood. After thinking for a while, she ate noodles with Ye Lang. She was also a little hungry, as she had been standing there waiting for a long time.
And so, quite by chance, a scene unfolded in this house: four people who would not normally be together were eating noodles together, especially the three girls. Just yesterday, they were on opposite sides, and even after the exercise ended, they would not be together.
Now, because of Ye Lang, they sat together and ate Ye Lang with him. Although there had been some unpleasantness before, they were at least harmonious at the dinner table.
Inside the Council Hall, another group of people were also having lunch. This lunch was already late because of their heated discussion earlier.
The key figures they were discussing were currently eating noodles, and although they were in different places, they could be considered to be having lunch together.
"Hasn't Taiya and the others arrived yet?" the important figure asked, looking up.
"Not yet!" someone nearby immediately replied.
"What are these girls up to? One of them hasn't come even after I called her, and the other two haven't come either when I called them!" The important figure was a bit of a headache about this, but he only had a brief moment of headache before putting the matter aside for other things.
Although Taiya and the others were key figures in their discussion, it wasn't necessary for them all to be present! At least until the results were in, their presence or absence wasn't too important.
After lunch, someone immediately dragged everyone into a heated discussion—
"This time, the Blue Team won, so Thomas, Athena, and others from the Blue Team should all be eligible!"
"No, I disagree! Although the Blue Team won, the reason in the end was because Athena used hostages to threaten the little tiger girl Taiya. If it weren't for that, the Blue Team would have already lost..." Just as that person finished speaking, another person stood up to object.
"Don't forget, the Blue Team had the advantage before. Even if we exclude Little Tiger Girl's divine power, the Blue Team still won. Therefore, we cannot rule out the Blue Team's abilities!"
"And don't forget, the reason the Blue Team has the advantage is because of that Human Race 'young master'!"
"So what if they help? In war, as long as you can get help, even if it comes from outside forces, it won't be a problem. We only care about the result!"
"If we're only talking about the results, then what's the point of this exercise? This time, it was mainly about assessing people's capabilities..."
The two sides began arguing fiercely again. It was obvious that they were continuing their battle from the previous blue and red sides, without much explanation.
However, besides these two camps, there is also a neutral side in this Council Hall. They are the key to deciding things and are also the object of both the blue and red sides' efforts to win them over.
Of course, this neutral party is also an authoritative referee. They will analyze things from the most objective standpoint, and they will only speak the facts and will not be swayed by any party.
"This time we will only select the best among us, not necessarily the winner. You should still submit the names of those you believe are qualified, and then we will discuss the final selection!" the authoritative referee said.
"Athena, Thomas, Cat Tribe Taiya..." The Blue Team immediately mentioned their own faction's members, while the opposing faction's members were not mentioned at all.
Like the Blue Team, the Red Team also selected their best players, none of whom belonged to the opposing team.
The neutral side had already anticipated this situation, and they seemed to want to see it, so as not to let the best people slip through their fingers.
However, what troubles them is that after the players are selected, the two sides will start arguing again, because it is really impossible to select a lineup that balances both sides. Either the Red Team has more players or the Blue Team has more players.
It's back to the point of arguing and refusing to fix things...
"What are you all arguing about?" A slightly confused voice rang out, clearly reaching the ears of everyone in the noisy area.
