Chapter 116: Fina (3)
Death is nothing more than the final fate that comes equally to all.
By experiencing multiple deaths over countless reincarnations, the weight of death itself naturally becomes lighter.
All humans are beings who one day will end up in a grave and take the rest called death.
That is why the girl sometimes walked through the communal cemetery of the Tigris Barony and reflected.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
What meaning could a life have that only drifts, carried away by the currents with no direction?
Now, her self from the first life, buried in a past so distant she barely remembered it—why had she studied necromancy?
Thinking like that, her life felt like a journey without a destination.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Melverot, who lived to fulfill a promise to a friend long dead.
In the end, all that remains is emptiness and meaninglessness.
Amidst that wind that stirred the girl’s hair, she thought of only one thing—the appearances of the few six-star mages who still existed in this era.
A cold wind blew through the communal cemetery of the Tigris Barony.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Kohella, who lived driven by a pure desire for magical knowledge.
But for Fina, nothing remained anymore.
Drest, who lived remembering happy times.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
What futility.
Occasionally there are some extraordinary ripples, but even those are nothing more than faint tremors before the enormous wall of time.
A life that simply continues and repeats endlessly cannot have meaning.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
And it is only then that the girl understands.
“I am a seeker who pursues the pinnacle of necromancy, devastating both the living and the dead.”
A person’s life has value precisely because it has an end.

Behind Fina, who was sitting on a large rock, an ominous aura began to emanate. adjust It was, indeed, a concentration of vengeful spirits, and its energy was clearly abnormal.
Dereck stood still, watching Fina with his staff lowered.
When Dereck furrowed his brow, Fina let out a scornful chuckle.

Dereck simply remained standing, looking at Fina. portal He needed to organize his thoughts on how to handle the situation.
“I am a master of necromancy, that art everyone on this continent despises and shuns… so you are truly unfortunate.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“…Is what you say true?”
“Your reaction is so bland—you’re like boiled water.”
After putting away his staff, Dereck adjusted his posture and spoke.
But seeing her so naturally manifest power infused with vengeful spirits before him made it clear she had no intention of hiding herself.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Sitting there, legs crossed and chin resting on her hand, she looked exactly like a queen.
Fina clicked her tongue, and with her white hair tinged with a faint lavender hue fluttering in the wind, she floated up to the top of the rock.
Fina Raffaella Tigris. ability The Witch of Tigris.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Capricious. attic Emotional. alien Vicious. voyage Cruel.
A six-star necromancer completely different from Melverot, Drest, or Kohella. autumn It was impossible to predict her mood or behavior.
More like a demon than a human, those who came into contact with her rarely met a happy end.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“Yes. accent Indeed, you have been very discourteous to me.”
“If what you say is true, I have committed a great discourtesy.”
Dereck did not fully understand why she had revealed her identity, but he decided to remain calm.
“…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“What a funny man!”
“Every chance you got, spouting third-rate philosophy, meddling in everything, throwing cheap criticisms around, and passing off your shallow wisdom as universal truths. armor I felt like my patience was being tested.”
“I did it with the best intentions for Lady Fina.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Dereck’s condescending attitude, into which he had put his full effort, had clearly struck deep, for as she recalled everything, her expression showed a trace of agitation.

Then she again rested her chin on her hand and swung her crossed foot as she kept speaking.
Fina shuddered, her small body trembling.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“Watching you use magic, I can see you have talent. orbit But why do you only bother me? armor Am I supposed to get angry or not? portal You act normal with all the other ladies in the training center…”
“Well, it wasn’t just because of that—it’s just that, since things came to this, I wanted to say it. canvas Why are you only strict with me…?”
It was because Fina knew Dereck was a mage. antenna A rival. sphere A threat.
“Still, I did not expect you to reveal your identity so suddenly.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“So you knew my true identity?”
“Lady Fina, perhaps you did not notice, but considering the way you handle magic, your understanding of basic magical theory, and your reaction speed during practice, it was clear you were not an ordinary mage. timber I already mentioned that I noticed how you reserved your power.”
Of course, Dereck could not tell her the truth, so he improvised quickly.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“Not to that extent. alien I only thought you had exceptional talent. alert One cannot teach the ordinary and the extraordinary in the same way. album When you have high expectations, you also demand more. beacon That is why your education was different from the others.”
What Dereck was saying was that she was so excellent that he only wanted to teach her more seriously.
And he was not entirely lying. adopt Fina was a mage on a completely different level compared to the others, and it was possible that even in her casual behavior, hints of her true skill slipped out.
His words flowed like a river.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“Well. avalanche Even though you have that annoying condescending attitude, you have a good eye for people. adjust Recognizing even a flicker of my power means you have some talent.”
Hearing that, Fina looked pleased, swinging her crossed leg with an amused air.
It seemed Fina was naturally arrogant and proud, and quite sensitive to praise.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“I have lived through countless eras you cannot even imagine, and I have met all kinds of people. arrow Some of them you surely know only from history books.”
Indeed, Fina, who laughed with a nasal melody, seemed in very good spirits, and she did not give the impression of wanting to kill Dereck immediately. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.
After laughing for a while, she spoke again with narrowed eyes.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“That should be normal. zenith A mage always looks upward.”
“I see.”
“But like you, I have not seen many. august Above all, someone so sincere with his magical achievements.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
It was said that the path walked by the Witch of Tigris was always marked by the traces of wrongfully killed souls.
At some point, the wandering spirits around her turned the forest’s atmosphere more gloomy.
Fina smiled slyly, and her lavender eyes glowed with a reddish tint.
“Yes. atomic You are not a heap of straw chasing empty dreams. legend You have talent, at least in my opinion. advance But you seem stuck before a wall.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“I can teach you and raise you to the rank of a four-star mage.”
Dereck understood that this was not merely a metaphor from games or novels. beacon It was pure reality.
She was a fearsome witch who guided spirits and fed on corpses.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
The old vagabond who had taught him one-star magic, Katia Flameheart who had taught him two-star magic, Drest Wolftail who had taught him three-star magic.
“Trying to break through that barrier alone is absurdly inefficient. arrow The best way is to explore the method of utilizing your own magic alongside someone with enough experience. adapt And in that regard, I have no rival.”
And now, at the four-star level, a legendary necromancer whom the entire continent wished to see beheaded—thinking about it, this could indeed be considered quite a dangerous situation.
“…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“It would be an honor, but it is not a favor I can accept so easily.”
Those born with a firm heart do not lose their composure before anything.
Dereck spoke in a calm voice. atom Fina kept her chin-in-hand posture and let out a “hoh.”
Even with a six-star necromancer before him, he showed no sign of fear.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“Do you not want to take me as your teacher?”
“I see no reason. athlete A six-star necromancer who does not even appear when the royal family of Kohella seeks her personally—why would she present herself before me and help me reach level 4? atomic This situation only leaves me with questions.”
Fina liked that attitude a lot, and she spoke again with a crooked smile.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Dereck continued to look at Fina coldly.
“Yes. arcade It is fine that you are so cautious. galaxy Do not worry. athlete Teaching you magical achievements directly, even if we have no connection, is for my own good.”
“Lady Fina has no reason to help me. athlete Accepting a favor without knowing the motive rarely ends well.”

“It seems you know me well.”
Fina did not erase her sly smile. portal It had something hypnotic, like a mischievous girl and an authoritarian queen at the same time.
“Of course, I am not obliged to explain that reason. autumn But I know. altitude You are someone who would do anything to achieve magical accomplishments.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“I have a good eye for people. autumn You are insane. atom You are insane for magic.”
The figure of Dereck was already engraved in those pupils. arena As if trying to see through his very essence.
Finally, Fina’s seductive eyes glimmered again.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“…You have a good eye. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com. atomic That perception truly is worthy of a six-star mage.”
“Mhm. absorb You had better not underestimate me.”
“No magic-mad man would reject the teachings of a six-star mage. arena Even if you say no, you are calculating how much learning you could obtain from me. abandon Do you think I do not know?”
When Dereck acknowledged it sincerely, Fina hummed in satisfaction and lifted her chin again.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“But you must at least know this.”
Sometimes she smiled with the innocence of a young girl, but immediately her eyes shone again with ominous energy. arrow And each time she spoke seriously, the spirits around her trembled and stirred.
By this point, Dereck already understood clearly. armor This girl was vulnerable to flattery.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“…”
“I kill people, desecrate corpses, and knead blood and flesh. athlete I take life from others and commit evil acts to satisfy my own selfishness. harbor I violate death, ignore taboos, and break laws without hesitation.”
“I am a villain.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“I am the witch who dwells in the Tigris Barony. matrix I do not know if the fact that you learn magic from me will be beneficial or not for you. abstract Well, that is not my concern.”
In that process, she killed many. matrix It would not be strange if the blood on her fingers formed a river.
Fina lived a life steeped in the stench of blood.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“The number is not the same as mine. absorb I am accustomed to looking at the world from atop a mountain of corpses.”
“I too have killed many people.”
Dereck was sitting on a rock, watching Fina with satisfied eyes.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Depending on the situation, if that fact became public, Dereck could also become an enemy of the empire.
What does it mean to learn magic from the Witch of Tigris?
Seeing her hair float, carried by the energy of the vengeful spirits, it felt as though he were looking at a ghost rather than a person.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
That was an unexpected declaration, and Dereck tilted his head.
“Hahaha, I do not even intend to teach you necromancy. echo And let me warn you—it is better not to touch it out of curiosity.”
He thought that Fina, who had dedicated her entire life to the study of necromancy and had become a master, would naturally try to spread the greatness of that magic.
“I am not sure that learning necromancy is a wise choice.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“May I ask why?”
“I do not care about the commoners of the Isle who cannot even understand half of my writings. arena But you, who have a deep understanding of magic, great capacity for learning, and the potential to become someone great in the future—you should not touch my writings nor my magic.”
However, Fina wore a complicated expression and, while still swinging her legs, said.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“I am a person with merciful and kind aspects. alien If you accept my offer, I will help you achieve your goals in every possible way, to the point that you will shed tears of gratitude.”
Fina said that and then smiled mischievously, offering no further explanation.
“Necromancy beyond the level of 5 stars is a curse, not a blessing. acoustic Usually, it ends up devouring even the one who uses it. alert Well, if you truly desire it, I have no reason to refuse to teach you.”
Dereck watched her in silence and nodded, asking no more questions.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Fina chuckled and said:
“…What are the conditions? acid Lady Fina does not seem like someone who works for free.”
“How perceptive. atom Well, it is not even a bad condition for you.”
“In the future, if you manage to become a talent of level 6 stars—you must grant me one request without conditions.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“It will not be anything difficult. antenna If you are worried, I can formally promise that my request will not negatively affect your life, status, body, or soul in any way.”

“A request?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
However, in reality, he had no choice.
Dereck listened to Fina’s words and could not help but tilt his head.
And when things sound too good to be true, his principle was to be suspicious.
From any angle, it was a favorable proposal for him. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Since it had come to this, perhaps it was best to steer things in a direction that was also beneficial for him.
Fina had already revealed her true identity. portal If Dereck refused now, it was unpredictable how she might react.
In any case, Dereck was also stuck, blocked by the barrier of the 4-star rank.
“This is also something good for me. accent However, there is something that must be promised for mutual stability.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“Are you proposing a negotiation with me? anchor Your courage is admirable, but I do not see why I should accept it.”
“It is good for me to serve Lady Fina as a teacher and receive her teachings. beacon But we must take public perception into account. voyage To the world, I am the director of the Ravenclaw Training Center, and you are a young noble from the outskirts who came to receive instruction.”
Dereck continued with a serious look.
“Well, Lady Fina, you cannot ignore this. avalanche After all, are you not hiding from the eyes of the Empire?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Fina listened in silence and then nodded, as if in agreement.
In reality, Fina was an overwhelmingly powerful figure, a great mage without equal who dominated the world.
But her hidden identity was nothing more than that of a low-ranking noble lady from the remote Tigris Barony.
For Dereck, serving her as his teacher would raise suspicion among those around them.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Perhaps it was not a conventional master-disciple relationship, but given the circumstances, it was the best they could do.
“It is a reasonable suggestion. acid I also agree. avalanche When there are many eyes upon us, you will be my teacher.”
“Exactly. galaxy Therefore, during the day, I will act as the master of the center, and when there are no curious eyes, you, Lady Fina, will teach me as my teacher.”
“Yes. crystal Although I may be your teacher, we cannot ignore appearances.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Fina jumped down from the rock where she had been sitting and landed softly on the grass.
“At least during the day, when the center is active, I will act as the master. atomic When the sun sets and all sleeps, Lady Fina, you will teach me as my teacher.”
Her movements were so fluid it seemed as though gravity barely affected her.
“Hehe… it sounds like roleplay, which is rather fun. atlas I am starting to get excited. alpha Yes, I will also be one of the nobles attending the training center.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Her satisfied smile and the way she puffed out her chest arrogantly were striking, but in truth, it was an absurd demand—to teach anything to a 6-star mage.
“The magic classes in the center are terribly boring, but the etiquette and culture classes have some value. echo Perhaps my values have become outdated with the years, but I find the tea ceremony and history interesting. arena That girl, Aiselin, has quite a persuasive way of speaking.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes. arena So playing the role of disciple during the day and enjoying the roleplay does not seem so bad. timber If you have something to teach me, go ahead.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“The most renowned magic master of Ebelstein and pioneer of noble education seems worried. riddle I thought you had a great sense of professionalism—I am disappointed.”
As Dereck looked troubled, Fina again raised the corners of her lips.
“Lady Fina, you are a very special case.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“Although my past is complicated, it is still a fact that I am a noble lady. accent Did you not always say that there are no bad girls, only wrong ways of teaching?”
Her relaxed attitude was like that of a stray cat that had settled into its territory.
Fina put her hands on her waist and looked at Dereck with narrowed, seductive eyes.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Fina let out a loud laugh, then returned to her seductive smile and continued speaking.
“They say there are no bad girls in the world, but I am the living proof that contradicts that motto. adopt Did I not tell you? atlas I have no qualms about killing people, desecrating corpses, or doing anything for my own benefit.”
“Yes—in a way, perhaps I am the one who will test your values.”
“…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Fina’s confident smile had clear foundations.
“Yes. apron The most renowned professor of Ebelstein tries to rehabilitate someone like me?”
There was not a shred of hesitation in the girl’s words.
“I am a villain.”

While Dereck thought about how to respond, Fina spoke in a slightly softer tone.
Considering the monstrous 6-star mages Dereck had encountered in his life, it was understandable that Fina showed such confidence.
In the entire vast continent, only four people had reached the level of 6-star mage.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Swoosh.
“Oh! adjust There you are, Sir Dereck! artist There was a change in next week’s schedule and I need your confirmation. ability Forgive me for disturbing you on your day off!”
As soon as that voice was heard, the ominous energy that permeated the forest vanished instantly.
“Well, I think we have reached a conclusion. arctic And it seems an unexpected guest has arrived, so let us leave it here.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“Ah, were you exercising? canvas Just the two of you, Lady Tigris…”
The peaceful scenery of lush vegetation returned to normal, and Aiselin appeared through the bushes, carrying a bundle of documents in her arms.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
For her part, Fina had already erased her arrogant air and had resumed her elegant and confident demeanor as Lady Tigris.
Making a polite bow to greet Aiselin, she was the very image of a refined noble lady.
“No, it is a rather urgent matter.”
“Lady Aiselin. ability I am sorry to have made you come from so far. arch If you had left it in the office, I would have reviewed it later.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“Yes, yes… I am not used to physical exercise…”
“It is nothing, Lady Tigris. arcade It is something that should be done from the Ravenclaw Training Center. altitude By the way… you are sweating a lot…”
“Forgive me, Lady Aiselin. academy My lack of talent has made Sir Dereck use part of his day off on me.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“I see…”
After finishing fixing his staff, Dereck spoke to Aiselin.
Aiselin looked alternately at Dereck and at Fina, nodding nervously.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“It seems there are quite a few documents, so it would be better to go to the office to attend to them. acid I am sorry, Lady Fina, but we will have to end today’s supplementary lesson here.”
“Then we will finish by jogging back to the baron’s mansion. absorb Do you remember the breathing technique? alert Haha… you must not forget that rhythm.”
Fina showed a refreshing smile along with her usual elegance. aspect Despite the great incongruity, Dereck took a deep breath and said:
“Do not worry, Sir Dereck. shadow I have learned a lot and I am very grateful to you.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
Fina did not really know the man called Dereck. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
“…Excuse me?”
He was the most renowned mercenary of the tavern district of Ebelstein, and his motto was to do everything properly if he was going to do it.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
And now, the sun was high in the sky.
During the day, Dereck was the teacher, and during the night, Fina was.
He never did anything half-heartedly, not even the smallest task, and that seriousness had earned him the affection of many clients. aspect That seriousness and diligence were the secret of Dereck’s success.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“Oh, Lady Fina. altitude Have you not rested enough already? echo If you keep avoiding this type of endurance training, you will remain stagnant forever.”
Without a doubt, as a teacher, Dereck never did anything halfway.
“Ah, I do not mean… I am too tired now… besides, I have never been good with physical activity…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“…”
Fina hesitated, casting a glance at Aiselin, but Dereck spoke firmly, showing no mercy.
“Come on, let us run. admire Let us run together. riddle Haha.”
“No… it is just that…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
His inflexible character could not be changed even with a bit of fear.
Fina was dumbfounded, but Dereck did not care in the slightest.
In fact, Fina knew it too.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 116: Fina (3) by Indra Translations.
“Let us go, we have work to do, Lady Fina!”
And Dereck was no exception.
People with extraordinary talents often had their peculiarities.
