Invicinble Colorless Butler-Chapter 100 - 2
One month had passed since the students returned from the survival test in the Alba Mountain range. They were given a month's vacation from then on. Some returned to their hometowns and some remained at the academy.
The students get a letter of survival test results that have been done previously. Students who pass will continue to study and those who do not pass will be expelled from the academy. The test results are absolute and cannot be questioned. Merlick Donovan as the principal must do this to screen the best students from each class to get the ideal number of students per class.
The Piqmentia Grand Academy has started to get busy again with students returning from their hometowns after enjoying the holidays.
At the academy's entrance gate, students in academy uniforms walked to their classrooms in the SkyDome building. Some of the students were confused because the academy wasn't as busy as it was before.
Ziel who was walking alone towards his class suddenly stopped when he heard a shout calling from behind him.
"Ken!" The one who called him was James, one of his roommates in the dorm. He walked with someone else beside him.
"Long time no see. how are you, Ken?" the other person who asked him was Dalvin, another roommate in the dormitory.
"I'm fine. How are you guys doing? Did you guys just come back from your vacation?" Ziel continued walking towards the class with them.
"We're fine too. I came back last night while Dalvin came back in the early morning. That's why we can go together. Did you go home with your lady on vacation yesterday, Ken? I didn't see you in the dorm." James looked for him and Dalvin when he got to the dormitory. But he didn't find them. That's why he thinks Ziel must be going home with Clara.
"Haa...I'm glad you had a nice vacation time with your beautiful lady, unlike mine." Dalvin sighed heavily and had a slightly depressed look on his face.
"My lady didn't come home, so neither did I. There wasn't as much fun as you think. If it's about me not being in the dormitory, the academy has also made allowances for students to stay outside the academy as long as it doesn't cause trouble that damages the academy's reputation." Ziel hasn't lived in his dorm in a long time. Because after the academy gave students a little freedom, he decided to stay in the lakeside cottage he had built next to the Kalya mansion in the academy's forest area.
"You're right, so where have you been living all this time?" James became curious after hearing Ziel's answer.
"Yeah, tell me where you live, so we can play to your place!" Dalvin also felt the same way with James. Dalvin looked even more excited than him. 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺
"This is a secret." Ziel answered briefly and ignored those who kept asking where he lived.
On the way to class, Ziel knew someone was watching him from afar and kept her distance from him. But he ignored it because he knew who it was. She is a pink-haired girl who is also their classmate, Rhea Flannery. Ever since she learned of what happened in the Alba Mountain Range from her friend, she had been afraid of Ziel. Because Rhea could see that the masked person was him. In addition, she also received threats from Princess Freya not to tell anyone.
Rhea's feelings are very complicated at the moment. She doesn't know what to say when she meets Ziel. That's why she tried to avoid him.

When they arrived at the class, the learning time had already started. The class D students except for Ziel were shocked because the number of students in the class wasn't even half. Not long after, Kalya entered the class and behaved as usual. She immediately started their study which made the students confused. One of the students finally asked Kalya to represent the confusion of the other students.
"Miss Kalya, Shouldn't we wait for other students to come before starting the lesson?" The student sitting in the front row asked.
"No. This number is correct. This is the maximum number of students from each class." Kalya was cold as usual when she was at the academy.
"Then where are the other students, Miss Kalya?" The student who asked this time was Rhea.
"The students who did not pass the survival test were expelled by the academy, Others were because their parents pulled them out of the academy for safety reasons." Kalya explains the reason to the students.
"What!?" The students were shocked after hearing that. Their emotions are mixed. Some are sad that their friends are no longer in the academy and some are happy that their enemies have been expelled. Several students were seen smiling bitterly because their parents had also suggested the same to them before.
"Okay, enough talking. We're about to start our study." Kalya said in a rather loud voice to silence the students who were starting to get noisy. After that, their learning begins with a new class situation.

Inside the principal's office, Merlick was sitting and chatting with a middle-aged man with blood-red hair. That person was the king of the Rubelia Kingdom, Gustave Rubelia. Next to him was a black-haired middle-aged man who looked like Princess Iris. He is the king of the neigal Kingdom, Jonathan Neigal.
"Gustave, what do you think of those heroes that have been summoned?" Merlick asked curiously. He met them only briefly because the heroes were immediately taken to the class they were going to attend.
"Hmm... How should I put it? They are good kids. At first, they were afraid and confused by their situation. I feel guilty about it. But after a few days, they started to adapt to this world." King Gustave explained to Merlick. He seemed sorry for what they had done.
"That's not what I meant. What I want to know is their power." Merlick narrowed his eyes at king Gustave.
"Ah, I want to know about that too." King Jonathan was also curious about the heroes who were summoned to this world.
"I can tell they are strong. As it has been mentioned in the ancient imperial records, the summoned heroes will at least have the strength of a master. Their mana and aura color are also unusual." King Gustave smiled broadly at the memory. As a fighting maniac, he was naturally happy to meet such a powerful person.
"What do you mean unusual?" King Jonathan became even more curious after hearing what King Gustave had to say.
"They have more than one color of mana and aura. They have more than one mana and aura, at least 3 colors and at most 5 colors. And they also have amazing innate skills." king Gustave smirked. He hopes the heroes can quickly grow to be strong and become his sparring partner.
"I want to see the strength of the heroes firsthand." Merlick pondered what King Gustave had said. He wanted to compare those heroes to the masked man who had razed the Alba Mountain Range.
"Their strength may be great, but they lack experience in actual combat. So I think they have to do a lot of fighting, be it with humans or magical beasts. Maybe it would be better if they fought with their lives in danger. It would draw their potential even further. But I can't directly put the children's lives in danger." King Gustave sighed heavily after remembering the original plan he had prepared.
"Because they're still kids so you prefer them to attend the academy?" King Jonathan asked him as if he knew how he felt.
"You're right. Since they are quite close to my son, so I also enrolled him in the academy. Coincidentally there is also a class that is short of students." King Jonathan is at the academy today to escort the heroes and their two children, Princess Reina and Prince Albert. Prince Albert himself was enrolled in the academy to accompany the heroes.
"That might be better. King Jonathan, have you got your answer from your daughter, Princess Iris?" Merlick nodded slightly then looked at King Jonathan.
"Haa... I've asked her many times. She said that her mana was suddenly under control from the moment she woke up from her unconscious state. Besides that, she doesn't remember anything." King Jonathan came to the academy several times to visit Princess Iris because she didn't come back to the castle during the holidays.
"Maybe she doesn't know either because she was unconscious during the trip from the Alba Mountain Range to the academy. Ah, you can ask Kalya about that. She brought Princess Iris when we arrived at the academy." Merlick remembers when kalya suddenly took Princess Iris away and then she came back with Princess Iris who was already conscious and her mana was under control.
"What? She never told me about this. I'll ask her again later." King Jonathan was a little surprised because he felt that Princess Iris never said that when he asked her several times.
"Don't be so hard on her. Maybe she forgot or there wasn't anything important when Kalya took her away." Merlick would feel guilty if King Jonathan scolded Princess Iris for his words.
"Don't worry, I've never behaved like that to her. ah...Merlick, have you heard the latest news from the eastern continent?" King Jonathan smiled and suddenly remembered something he wanted to say.
"What's that?" King Gustave was the first to reply because he was curious about the news that King Jonathan said.
"The kingdom on the eastern continent where the majority of the population is demi-humans and demons, they also set up an academy as we do for their younger generation." King Jonathan provided information that he had recently received from his subordinates.
"I've heard about it but it's not very detailed. Can you tell me what information you got from there?" Merlick was also intrigued by the news when he heard it not too long ago. But all he heard was just a rumor that is not clear.
"Dwarf Kingdom, Elven Kingdom, Beast Kingdom, Demon Kingdom. The four kingdoms created a project similar to what humans do, a place to train their younger generations to face future invasions from outside. They named the place, Arcus Grand Academy." King Jonathan explained all the information he heard from his subordinates to them. But he wasn't sure if their aim was true as his subordinates had reported or if there was another purpose for the academy.

Currently, the situation in class S is much quieter than before. This was because more than half of the students in the class had been withdrawn by their parents and the rest were expelled for not passing the survival test. Some of the students who already knew remained calm in response but the rest who were clueless were confused by the current situation of their class.
"Hey, do you know where the other students are?"
"I do not know."
"I heard their parents didn't allow them to go back to study at the academy."
The students started to noisy talking about their class situation. Rumors have also been circulating about the matter. For the students who returned to their hometowns on vacation, they didn't hear about it. But some students who were the children of a noble already knew.
The Princess and Prince of course already know it, as well as Clara who is the daughter of a noble and a friend of Princess Iris. Princess Iris was currently still in exile in the classroom, some of them didn't even dare to look at her for fear. This was due to the incident that happened in the Alba Mountain range earlier. But Princess Iris no longer cares about that. Not all students treat her like that, some of them keep glancing at her, especially male students because they notice the change in Princess Iris's face. She looked much more beautiful and radiant than before. Her smile as she chatted with Clara had fascinated the boys in the class. Even Prince Fritz glanced at her several times.
"Everyone calm down!" Flavio who entered the classroom was immediately presented with a noisy atmosphere. They immediately fell silent after seeing Flavio enter and say that. After seeing that the students had calmed down, he continued his words.
"You may be confused because of the current number of students in your class. I'll explain it to you..." Flavio told the same thing as what Kalya had explained in class D. The reactions of the students of class S were more or less the same as those of class D.
"Okay, before starting our lesson. I'll introduce the new students who will start attending this class with you. Due to some circumstances, they only had time to enroll now. You guys come in!" Flavio tries to surprise the students.
"What do you think this new student looks like?"
"Is she a girl?"
"Is she beautiful?"
The students began to guess about the new student. Boys expect a beautiful girl while female students expect a handsome boy. Princess Reina who already knew them just smirked hearing their speculation.. When the classroom door opened, several new students entered the classroom which made the students shocked.
