Invicinble Colorless Butler

Back at the time class S had just been attacked by a horde of Armored gorillas. Class D led by Marlo was also heading towards the borders of the central and inner region of the Alba Mountain Range. They were also interested in the points offered by the crystal rainbow. Even though there were a lot of high-level magical beasts. As long as they were careful, they would be safe. That's what Marlo thought.

"We'll rest here. Set up a tent immediately." Marlo gave his orders to the class D students.

"Haa... Finally, we can rest." Rhea who was walking next to Ken and Dalvin started to complain. They walked almost all day, not to mention they also had to fight against magical beasts in the middle of their journey. By now they were all exhausted.

"Hmm..." Ziel suddenly stopped walking and narrowed his eyes to a certain direction in the forest.

"Ken, what's wrong?" Rhea called out to ken who suddenly stopped behind her.

"It's nothing." Ziel shook his head and continued walking towards their campsite.

Suddenly one of the students who had been asked to patrol around their campsite came back panting heavily. He ran frantically and in a hurry to give his report.

"Marlo! There's a fight not far from here!" The student stopped in front of Marlo and reported the results of his patrol.

"Did you see who was fighting?" Marlo's face suddenly tensed when the student said 'not far from here' because the active monsters there were mostly mid to high-level magical beasts.

"I don't know clearly, I just heard explosions and people screaming." The student suddenly got goosebumps after remembering the screaming sound.

Marlo didn't respond right away, he thought for a while and finally gave his order.

"Some of the students will stay, and some will come with me. We'll help them." Marlo quickly gathered the students who would go with him there. Ziel, Rhea, and Dalvin joined the group.

Not long after they ran, the D-class students arrived at their destination. They were shocked to see what was in front of their eyes. Six high-level magical beasts were fighting the academy students and the other six were dead. They could tell by looking at it that the students had gone through a fierce battle. There were also seen many injured students.

"Marlo, what should we do?" One of the female students asked him. She had blonde hair in a ponytail and carried a rapier around her waist. Her name is Agnes. She is also the class leader. Unlike Marlo, who is very sociable, Agnes is somewhat reserved.

"Hmm...the monsters they're fighting should be armored gorillas which are high-level magical beasts. I can see Prince Fritz there which means the people fighting right now are class S students. Even class S students are getting overwhelmed like that and it looks like they're currently in urgency." Marlo began to analyze the state of the battlefield. Then he continued his speech.

"Some will be with me helping Prince Fritz and some with Agnes against the other monsters." He began to divide the rescue tasks. Ziel and Rhea join Marlo's team and Dalvin to Agnes' team.

"Okay." They started to move according to Marlo's direction and waited for the right time to attack.

"How do we attack the monsters in such a state? I don't think magic will be able to reach it due to the strong winds that are formed due to its spin." One of the students asked Marlo.

"Hmm... Does anyone have any ideas?" Marlo threw the question at the other students. Then his gaze stopped on Rhea and Ziel who were next to him.

"Ken, do you have any ideas?" Rhea suddenly asked Ziel who had been silent from the start.

"You just have to crush the ground beneath his feet. If his footing is broken then his rotation will stop and you can attack him straight away." Ziel lazily explained it to them. He felt it would be troublesome if Rhea kept asking him unnecessary things.

"Ah, that makes sense. Alright, let's do it!" Rhea responds to Ziel's idea with enthusiasm. Marlo's face became gloomy after seeing her reaction. But soon he smiled again.

"Alright, we'll follow your plan. Are you listening? The mages drilled holes in the ground near the monster's footing. And the rest prepare for a surprise attack!" Marlo began to distribute assignments to the students in front of him.

"Okay!" They answered in unison.

"After they stop their rotation, strike right in the neck." Ziel whispered to Rhea. He didn't want other people around him to hear. On the other hand, Rhea nodded after hearing what he said. She believed in the directions he was given, just as they were dealing with the behemoths.

Right now the three armored gorillas were seen surrounding the two people in the middle. Ziel recognized both of them.

"Now!" Marlo gives the signal.

[Ground Hole]

Suddenly the ground around the armored gorillas began to sink, they lost their balance and stopped their rotation. The class D students immediately gave a follow-up attack.

[Fireball]

[Thunder strike]

As the class D students attacked the armored gorillas, Ziel silently threw daggers with compressed aura along with the magic that Rhea shot. Rhea's magic and Ziel's throwing dagger aimed at the armored gorilla's neck.

Boooooooommmmmm

"We're here to help!" Marlo charged forward and shouted his intentions at Prince Fritz and Princess Freya.

***

"Eh? Who are you?" Princess Freya was surprised by the sudden arrival of help. She had previously resigned herself to an attack from the armored gorilla.

"We're from class D, we happened to be camping not far from here and we heard your fight." Marlo explained to Princess Freya and didn't look at Prince Fritz beside her. This annoyed Prince Fritz.

"You..." Before Prince Fritz spoke, Prince Freya cut him off.

"It's our pleasure to accept your help. By the way, where are the rest of your class?" She looked around and couldn't find the person she was looking for.

"Ah, they're hiding behind a tree over there. They'll help with ranged attacks. Well, I'll take care of the rest of the armored gorillas." Marlo quickly moved towards the two armored gorillas whose feet were still buried under the ground. He attacked bravely to show off his strength to Princess Freya.

"Damn it." Prince Fritz gritted his teeth because from start to finish Marlo didn't pay any attention to him.

"Ahaha...calm down brother. I'm sure he doesn't mean anything bad. Don't forget that he came here to help us." Princess Freya tries to calm down her brother. But Prince Fritz just clicked his tongue and didn't answer.

Marlo and the other class D students are currently busy fighting the remaining 5 armored gorillas along with class S and class A. They are looking for an opening to land an attack on the armored gorilla's unprotected body part. But suddenly a magic attack shot and hit the neck of one of the armored gorillas and killed him instantly. It continued with the other armored gorillas until they all ended up dying with the same attack.

"Huh, who did it?" Princess Reina looked around to find the person who fired the magic.

"She can kill five armored gorillas in one go. But..." Princess Rinne muttered under her breath. She watched as the magic hit the armored gorilla's neck. Apart from magic, she felt that something else in it was shot at the same time. But she shook her head to dispel that thought. She was probably exhausted and saw it wrong.

"Ah, that's one of our class's students. Her name is Rhea and she's one of the best mages in class D." Marlo explained proudly to the Princesses.

When all the armored gorillas were dead, one by one the class D students who were hiding behind the trees came out. One of them is Ziel.

"Ken!" Clara who saw him screamed and waved her hand at him. Ziel walked slowly towards her followed by Rhea and Dalvin behind him. But they suddenly trembled and stopped after they got closer to Clara and Princess Iris.

"You guys join the rest of class D. I have to say hello to my master." Ziel said to them without looking back.

"Ken! How are you? Are you okay?" Clara immediately bombarded Ziel with questions the moment he reached her.

"I'm fine, my lady. How are you and Princess Iris?" Ziel looked at Princess Iris and bowed slightly to her. Princess Iris just smiled and nodded at Ziel.

"We're fine, it's just..." She looked around and smiled bitterly. Ziel could hear whispering voices around him.

"Who is that boy?"

"Ah, why does he look fine around the cursed Princess?"

"Yeah, he doesn't seem affected by her mana at all."

"He seems close to one of the two girls."

(Cursed Princess?)

Ziel knew who they were referring to. But he didn't expect that the students dared to say near Princess Iris who was a member of the royal family. He just thought things might get more troublesome in the future. Because he couldn't find Lilith and Berith who were supposed to be there.

***

Class S, class A, and class D decided to set up camp together. Incidentally, the place used by class S at this time is like a rather wide meadow that allows class D and class A to join camping there.

Currently, Ziel is not with the D class students. He is accompanying Clara and Princess Iris who are seen sitting a bit apart from the other students. After all, Ziel is still a butler and guardian for Clara.

"Lady, I made ginger tea with honey for you and Princess Iris. It can warm you from the cold." Ziel serves mugs of hot drinks to Clara and Princess Iris.

"Thanks, Ken." Clara immediately tasted her still-hot tea while slowly blowing it.

"Thanks." Princess Iris accepted the cup with a little smile.

On the other hand, while they are enjoying their time. Class A students chatted in quite loud voices.

"Hey, isn't it dangerous if we get close to her? Even I who fought against the armored gorilla found it difficult to breathe being around her." One of the female students of class A started to complain.

"You're right, maybe we'll die from her instead of monsters." The other class A students agreed with her.

"You guys, please lower your voices even if it's the truth." Biron tried to calm them down. But his words seemed to agree with what they were talking about.

"Hey! What did you say to one of our class!?" Prince Fritz, who disliked him from the start, used this opportunity to kick him out of the camp.

"Hee... Isn't that the truth? Look! Not even the other class S students dare to approach her." Biron quipped him.

"That..." Prince Fritz was about to refute his words. But...

Clank...

The sound of the cup falling and breaking was heard from Ziel's direction.

"Iris!" Clara called out to the crying Princess Iris and ran into the forest alone. She wakes up and wants to chase after her. But Ziel quickly stopped her.

"Lady, I will go after her. You stay here." Ziel didn't wait for Clara's answer and walked into the forest following Princess Iris. The forest they entered was a strange forest that looked dark even during the day. So he didn't want Clara to chase Princess Iris into the forest at night.

"Be careful, Ken!" Clara shouted at Ziel who had entered the forest. She stared coldly at the Class A students who had been talking about Princess Iris.

"This is all because of you!?" Prince Fritz got up from his seat and was about to attack Biron. But was stopped by Princess Freya.

"Brother, stop it!" She held the hand of his brother who was about to go towards Biron.

"Let me go, Freya!" Prince Fritz was about to free himself from his sister but Princess Freya tightened her grip.

"Brother, remember you can be punished if caught fighting a fellow student. You could even be expelled." Princess Freya said in a low voice that only Prince Fritz could hear. Prince Fritz was silent for a moment and finally returned to his seat. He clicked his tongue looking displeased. Princess Freya just stared into the forest where Ziel's figure disappeared.

***

"Haa... Haa... Haa..." Princess Iris panted heavily while holding her knees. She ran away crying because of the piercing words of the class A student.

"Why... Why?" She kept muttering while crying.

"There you are, Princess! Hehe..." A voice came from behind her.. But when she turned around, suddenly her vision darkened and she lost consciousness.
