Yep, called it: "regular magic troops, but from the nobility so they've got a special uniform so they can still feel special despite being perfectly unremarkably regular."

may I suggest calling them "cannon fodder" instead?

@Someone
Just a day ahead, but true. Nice guess. Is hilarious they got pacified by being called "Elite" peon xD

oh, those will die first.

it's not that bad, really. in dragon age or warhammer 40k, if you have magic powers, you stop being a noble and it's like you never existed for your family

Thinking about it, these blonde brats may be a large part of why the other brats weren't put up against a wall: Some very rich, very powerful and very expensive people would *really* prefer it if their beloved children don't get executed. Obviously there'd be some who wouldn't care, or would actively welcome the idea (see also Window's mother (who has, at the very least, disowned him)), but others...

So... the black berets may be called upon to resolve issues, a black beret was missing from class, could the former be an explanation for the latter? Is there an adventure going on, right now?

Oh this isn't going to backfire in everyone's faces AT ALL queue up a series of backstabbing and head popping to.... open up spots among the Berets and a leadership likely to do things like the charge of the light brigade you just with magical super soldiers who eventually get pissed off.

hahahaha
well, Someone said it well : noble but still bottom of the barrel

These guys are definitely gonna be hated by both sides. The nobility will make fun of their lack of skills and being classed as peons while the commoners will hate em because they still get special treatment.

So does all the nobility of Justopia have blond hair and blue eyes? I’m noticing that sort of pattern. I’m pretty sure if the two nobility in Noah’s class took off their glasses we would see the same thing.

still just a peon. they don't make the ranks and can't recognize a slight either.

Wow, the Elite Peon. Real Private First Class energy there. Assistant Assistant Manager. Congrats you’re not the bottom, here’s the title to make you feel special.

Ah yes, the "silver spoon" group

Special priviledges, but wearing the same bomb collars.

Is this a way to use the class divide to prevent the students from feeling camaraderie and banding together? Though I wouldn't be surprised if Justopea is just that classist and this wasn't a consideration.

Mhm, yeah, and the enemies will shoot jeweled bullets at them too out of respect.
I guess their preferential treatment will have other consequences beyond lodging, moreso when they are required to be actual soldiers.
