Chapter 1200 - 948

The elderly researcher’s team immediately mobilized, searching the entire institute for scraps of paper. Some scraps had been trampled on, while others piled up in corners, and still others were mixed with different scraps. Some who came to watch the fun, along with the elderly researcher’s supporters, joined the search, all waiting to see Isrile and Ruosha’s embarrassment.

Of course, they couldn’t just sit around doing nothing, so other groups continued to present their research to the Apostles. Some Apostles would give timely comments, some researchers disagreed, and others had a sudden realization. But no matter how much they tried to stall for time, once all the groups had presented, the scraps were still not all found.

A corner was missing, an unimportant corner. A researcher stuck those tattered scraps onto a sheet of paper, and subsequently, the content that was originally written on them emerged.

Just as the elderly researcher had said, there were some children’s doodles, some simple Runes and formulas, that was it.

"This, this is their research? Absolutely hilarious!" a researcher burst into laughter.

"Oh, my God, and I thought there would be some groundbreaking research!" another researcher also burst into laughter.

Zuo La glanced at those twisted items, all within his scope of understanding. While the content was indeed related to their research, it was far too simple.

"Is this your research content?" Zuo La asked.

"No, it is not," Ruosha shook her head.

"Bullshit! There was only this one piece when I tore it up! Are you trying to make up something new?" the old researcher yelled.

"No, I’m not saying it’s not this piece, but didn’t you notice, is there something different about it?" Ruosha pointed at the missing corner.

"That corner is blank, it doesn’t affect the content at all!" the old researcher shouted.

"Look, you’re a researcher, how can you say such a thing? In the process of research, any small deficiency can cause a great deviation!" Ruosha said earnestly.

"You’re just being obstinate!" the old researcher shouted as he turned to Zuo La, who even now showed some displeasure, but still held back.

"Find it for them!" Zuo La shouted.

Then, people began the search again, like treasure hunting. Suddenly, someone shouted loudly, "Found it! I found it!"

The researcher had discovered the missing corner stuck to the sole of his shoe, covered by some food he had been eating, so no one had noticed it.

Under the glaring eyes of the crowd, the researcher hurried over and fit the corner back into place. Just as the corner almost touched the edge of the torn paper, the pieces that had been joined together suddenly burst apart with a bang, turning into a cloud of white dust, which then rapidly gathered around the piece of paper in the man’s hand, and from that piece of paper, a whole sheet grew by itself! The Runes, formulas, and children’s doodles reappeared on the paper, just as if they had just been drawn on.

Everyone was flabbergasted!

What was this?

What in the world was this?

"Okay, thanks for the performance, quite frightening," Ruosha walked over and took the sheet from the man.

"No, no, this wasn’t me!" the man exclaimed.

"I know it’s not you, can’t you just pretend it’s you?" Ruosha said with a chuckling smile.

"But this really wasn’t me!" the man’s mind still hadn’t recovered, but Ruosha had already stopped paying him any attention.

"Come, everyone, if you want to see our research results, I’ll show you. Actually, we hadn’t finished this part, but the process and ideas were already completed, we were just missing the results."

At last, a smile appeared on Zuo La’s face. Yes, these two girls have never disappointed me, and this time would be no exception!

At that moment, the elderly researcher was also secretly shocked; the restoration of the paper was absolutely surprising, and even he had not expected such an outcome. Although restoration Magic is not uncommon, most require preparation in advance, needing a restoration spell to be applied to the object to ensure the success of the spell. Of course, some spells are cast later, but these generally require extremely precise maneuvers, and are definitely not for overly complex things.

And now, not only had the paper been restored by an uninvolved person, but even the text and images on the paper had been restored too—how was this possible?

The elderly researcher was full of questions, not just him, but also the surrounding Apostles, though obviously, the sisters were not interested in explaining.

"This time our research topic was a joint project with that mean old man, and although everything went smoothly, our precious research was torn up by a villain right near the end, so we had to pause, leaving us with only the process, but no results."

Ruosha held a piece of paper in her hand, sparse with runes and formulas, saying with a smile as the childlike doodles on it twisted back and forth with her words, amusing to behold.

"So, how long will it take for you to come up with the results?" Zuo La asked.

Upon hearing this, the senior researcher was immediately displeased, as Zuo La’s intent seemed to lean towards the two young girls: "Lord Zuo La, are you considering giving them more time?"

Zuo La frowned slightly, could it be that I intend to give them time, and it’s up to you to manage that?

"Tsk tsk, impeding the research progress of your colleagues, repeatedly slandering your competitors, old man, your methods are truly dirty," Isrile said without mercy.

"You!!! I!!!" Isrile’s words had stifled the old researcher so much that he was left speechless.

"Alright, Sister, stop talking! Let me take a look first." Ruosha examined the paper carefully, then suddenly grabbed Isrile’s hand: "Come on, lend me a few runes, my brain can’t calculate it."

While Isrile glared at the old researcher, she also extended her hand. Ruosha released a faint magic from the palm of her hand, drawing upon the magic in Isrile’s hand to form runes and formulas. The runes and formulas flickered at a high speed, passing by before one could fully grasp their meaning. The few that were slower still remained largely incomprehensible to the onlookers.

It was only then that Zuo La realized, so they were calculating in this manner?

"Alright!" Ruosha clapped her hands, "I’ve checked the content just now, and everything seems fine. Now let’s start calculating from the beginning."

While speaking, Ruosha took out a whiteboard from her personal space and pulled out a pen. Then, she wrote three runes and five formulas on the whiteboard.

"Let’s start from the first variable," Ruosha said.

"Are you planning to start calculating now?" the old researcher asked with a laugh, as many people from the research group also laughed along. At this point, given the complexity of the topic and calculation, a calculation lasting two or three days would be short! If you’re starting now, do you plan to come back after three days?

"Does such a simple problem really require that much time to calculate? Oh, I’m sorry, I must apologize to you, as I didn’t realize how ordinary people calculate these problems. After all, my intelligence is much higher than yours; I can’t grasp your thought processes that are akin to those of a reptile," Isrile began mocking decisively.

"Hey, you yourself are a giant spider, calling others reptiles, doesn’t that feel awkward?" Ruosha commented within the contract.

"Not at all!" Isrile said as if it were a matter of course.

"This..."

"Enough!" The old researcher hadn’t even started speaking when Zuo La interrupted him directly.

"Lily, Sasa, how long do you need?" Zuo La asked.

Ruosha giggled, "Um, this is a bit tricky, probably about an hour."

One hour!

The old researcher didn’t dare to speak, but the dismissive expression on his face was unmistakably clear—boasting!

"I’ll give you three hours, start now!" Zuo La was clearly favoring them, and indeed, there is competition among the Apostles internally, as whoever’s research group comes up with more useful content adds prestige to their own reputation.

Thus, Ruosha, like a teacher, stood in the front, and began calculating bit by bit, simultaneously explaining as she went along. From the beginning of the calculation, the audience immediately noticed something: Ruosha’s calculations primarily revolved around those three runes and five formulas, without much else. No matter how the data was arrayed, it consistently involved these three runes and five formulas intermingling. In a blink, this was already the tenth whiteboard, the data was becoming increasingly vast, yet those three runes and five formulas still intertwined within it.

When the fifteenth whiteboard was reached, the data began to reduce. By the twentieth whiteboard, Ruosha finally wrote down a large ’1’.

"Done, the entire cycle is basically like this, fellow Apostles and colleagues, feel free to take a look," she announced.

Everyone was stunned, completely dumbfounded.

She had actually used less than an hour’s time!

Everyone had thought that research at this level would be immensely complex, requiring astounding formulas. Yet, Ruosha taught everyone a lesson through her actions, as she had completed the full process verification with just three runes and five formulas!

"My heavens, her process even included the content of our research!" an astonished young researcher under the old researcher exclaimed, and the old researcher immediately glared fiercely at him.
