Invicinble Colorless Butler

Chapter 104 - 6

In the blue tower, class D is currently taking lessons on blacksmithing and the creation of magic tools. Because the number of students in each class is only 40 people. They can conduct joint study sessions between classes. The current class D pair is class S.

For female students, this class may not be interesting. But some enjoy the class like Princess Rinne. Right now they were in a room with many furnaces and metal clanging sounds. Not all artifacts or magic tools were made with such a method, some were made by engraving or shaping them directly with magic power. The latter method would make the craftsman tire more quickly depending on the amount of mana they had.

They were currently being directed by the leader of the blue tower, Regza Omidio. He was a middle-aged man with short brownish yellow hair. He has a rather short muscular build. It was because he was not a real human. He was a descendant of humans and dwarves, people in that world called him a half-breed. Despite his appearance, he was a Magic King who was also skilled in close combat.

Currently, students are given the freedom to choose what method they want to create magic tools. The blue tower had provided them with the materials and tools they needed, they are free to choose any material on the condition that they can process it.

Ziel chose a place to process the material near Clara. He is asked by her not to be far from her as she can ask if there is anything she doesn't understand. Ziel doesn't know on what basis Clara thinks that Ziel is more knowledgeable in magic tool creation. The method that Ziel chose was carving while Clara chose the direct shaping method with magic power.

"OK, all tools and materials are provided. You are free to make whatever you like. All the methods are already written in your place. And I have demonstrated it once before. This practice also has an academic value that will be added to your grades in class. So you have to seriously work on it. You can start making it now!" Regza gave directions to the students before creating magic tools. He walked around to see what method each student had chosen.

Prince Fritz, Hikaru, and Sintaro chose the forging method. Meanwhile, the Princesses and the two heroines chose the direct shaping method with magic power. Only a few students including Ziel chose the engraving method.

Ziel chose mithril the size of a fist. It was one of the easiest materials for blacksmiths to process. He chose mithril because it is a good metal as a conductor of magic. He thought about making a brooch. He felt several gazes directed at him as he carved the magic tool. Princess Freya, Princess Iris, Clara, and Kalya keep staring at him while he was focusing on the material in his hand. It was his habit when he was focused on something he would look serious and ignore his surroundings.

(It's my first time seeing his serious face. His current face is also charming)

Kalya supported her chin with both hands while looking at ziel.

(You seem to be drunk with your love. Be careful you will be seen by other teachers)

Silphy sighed at her behavior. She looked around from inside her body afraid that another teacher would see her watching a student.

(You take it easy. Currently, the teachers are also busy paying attention to the students)

Kalya smiled sweetly and ignored Silphy's warning. After hearing her response, Silphy was speechless and could only shake her head.

On the other hand, Princess Freya couldn't focus at all on the material in her hand. The material she chose was Orichalcum. One of the rarest and strongest metals to be found in that world. The magic always breaks not long after enveloping the metal. Since it was a rare material, the processing difficulty was also very high. She wanted to make a dagger out of it to gift someone.

(Why do I always fail!?) She slammed the material in her hand then glanced at Ziel who was seriously carving something. Princess Freya then smiled.

(I will give what I made to him and he has to give what he made for me!)

Princess Freya had thought of this idea from the start. He was envious of the other girl who got the artifact gift from him. Therefore no matter what, she had to get what he made later.

One by one the students were exhausted in the process of creating magic tools. They didn't think first and chose rare materials to be processed into magic tools. Because of that, they are already tired even though they haven't started the process for a long time. But that doesn't apply to Princess Rinne, who has been used to it since she was a child. She has extraordinary efficiency in creating magic tools.

While the students were focused on creating magic tools, Kyouka was busy watching the male students with each other. She was trying to identify the boy she met in the forests last night. Because what she had shown last night would be a shame if it spread to other people's ears. But she still couldn't find the person she was looking for.

(I'm sure he has black hair!)

Kyouka recalled that the boy's hair blended in the darkness. So she believed in her speculation. After checking all the boys in the place, she found that more than half of the male students in the room had black hair. She finally gave up looking that way.

(I have to find him!)

She gritted her teeth and refocused on processing the materials in her hands.

When the students were creating magic tools, suddenly Regza who was checking their process took a crystal box from his pocket. It's a magic communication device.

[Is there something, principal?] Regza politely asked Merlick.

[Come to my room immediately. There's something important I want to talk about]

Merlick's hoarse voice came from the magic communication device.

[Okay I'll be there soon]

After ending his communication with Merlick, Regza then looked at the students.

"You guys continue your forging. Focus and precision are of the utmost importance in creating magic tools. Do you understand!?" Regza shouted reminding the students who were resting because they were exhausted from running out of mana.

"We got it!" They answered in unison.

"Good! Then I'll go first. I entrust the supervision of the students to you, Miss Kalya, Mr. Flavio." Regza nodded satisfied with their answer. Then he looked at Kalya and Flavio who were sitting not far from him.

"Okay." Flavio answered briefly while Kalya just nodded in response. Regza immediately left the room after hearing their answer.

Time passed, Ziel finally finished creating his magic tool. He was currently limiting the level of his magic tools to only Legendary rank. But the magic tool will look like a master rank. If he made a high-level magic tool or even an artifact, then the academy would question it and would be troublesome for him.

Currently on the table is lined with brooches with 7 kinds of flower motifs. Roses, Lily, Cattleya, tulips, sakura, lotus, and irises. Ziel includes a communication function in it. He intended to give it to Clara so he could contact her when she was in danger. Ziel didn't want the same incident during the survival test to be repeated.

"Hmm... It should be fine like this." Ziel took all the brooches after checking them again. As he was about to rest, someone grabbed his hand.

"Ken, please teach me to process this material!" Clara pointed at the unicorn horn whose shape hadn't even changed a bit.

"What do you want to do, my lady?" Ziel didn't think that Clara would take such a difficult material to process. The application of unicorn horns is very limited if the person does not have long experience in blacksmithing.

"Perhaps... a dagger." Clara seemed hesitant to determine the shape.

"Alright, first you have to cover the unicorn horn with your mana. Next imagine the shape you want to make, use your imagination. Since this process is the same as carving, the difference is that you use mana to carve it." Ziel explained the process in detail to Clara. Little by little the unicorn horn eroded and changed shape. It wasn't long before its shape began to change like a dagger. Finally, after quite a while, the unicorn's horn turned into a perfectly shaped ivory-colored dagger. The exhausted Clara lost her balance and fell. But before that, Ziel supported her first.

"Congratulations you've made it, my lady. The last process is to cast a spell and the dagger will become a magic tool. Before that you better rest first." Ziel helps Clara to sit down and rest.

"Yes... Thank you." Clara blushed because of Ziel's treatment of her.

What they have done is seen by Princess Freya. She had also completed her first process. When she was about to cast a magic spell into it, she saw a skinship scene between Ziel and Clara.

"Just because you're the master doesn't mean you can monopolize him!" Princess Freya gritted her teeth and continued to grumble about it.

It's not only Princess Freya who feels that way, but also Kalya. Even Princess Iris was currently feeling uneasy in her chest. She didn't know what it was.

The practice of creating magic tools continues. The students started to finish what they had made. They shouted with joy at the sight of the first magic tool they had created with their own hands.

In the principal's office, Merlick sat in his chair holding a gold envelope. The seal on the envelope was broken because Merlick had read the letter inside.

Knock... Knock... Knock...

"It's me, Regza." Regza's voice came from behind the door.

"Come in!" Merlick replied curtly. He's been waiting for him since earlier.

"What do you want to talk about, Merlick?" Regza asked Merlick casually. He and Merlick were old friends. When they were alone, they would forget manners.

"Before I start talking, read this first." Merlick handed him a gold envelope.

"What's this?" he opened the envelope and took out the letter inside.

"You read and you'll know." Merlick did not elaborate. He wanted Regza to know the contents of the letter first. Regza started reading the letter and suddenly his face became tense. But then he smirked after he finished reading it.

"So, what are you going to do? Will you accept this invitation?" Regza returned the letter to Merlick.

"I still don't know, that's why I called you here. So what do you think I should do with this invitation from the Dwarven Kingdom?" Merlick was also at a loss as to how to respond to the letter.

"Before I answer that, I want to ask you. What did you say back then when you invited me to teach at the academy is still the same today?" Regza still needed Merlick's answer to respond to the invitation letter he had read earlier.

"About what?" Merlick was confused by what Regza suddenly asked.

"You said humans don't just need mages or knights. But blacksmithing is also important. Because you wanted to make humans omnipotent. Do you remember?" Regza reminded Merlick of what he had told him earlier.

"I remember that and what I'm going to say right now is the same. I want humans to be omnipotent beings." Merlick glared at Regza and said seriously.

"Then you've got the answer. The blacksmithing and magic tool creating technology in Dwarves is 2 generations ahead of humans. The students can learn what they can't learn here." Regza smiled and gave his reason to Merlick.

"I see. Then I will give them an answer immediately." Merlick had already made his decision after receiving Regza's opinion. Merlick asks his opinion since Regza is a former resident of the Dwarven Kingdom. But because he is halfbreed, he is less noticed and tends to be ostracized.

"Alright, when are the students leaving there?" He asked Merlick because the letter didn't say the time.

"We're leaving next week!" Merlick replied firmly to him.
