Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7)

It was a relief that most of the spectators had already left the arena, because almost no one remained to witness that deplorable state.

In contrast, looking at Trisha was so pitiful that it was hard to keep one’s eyes on her.

Both the white blouse and the light blue skirt were immaculate, as if they had just been washed.

Siern’s breathing wasn’t even altered.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

She wasn’t just “good”; she didn’t even reach the tips of her toes.

At this point, even if she put on airs and raised her voice, there was no one left who would admire her.

“Certainly… you really are good…”

Panting, Trisha stood up, lifting her gaze through her completely disheveled hair.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

Again, Siern looked toward Diella.

Her expression, with narrowed eyes and a quiet sigh, was as if she were watching a fool repeating a useless effort.

Siern, with a drop of sweat sliding down her temple as if she were baffled, observed Trisha in silence as she slowly stood up, and shook her head.

Even so, Trisha increased her magic and finished preparing to begin the fifty-sixth duel.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

Diella, sitting at one end of the spectator area, watched the duel with a baffled expression.

Since Dereck had asked her to respect Diella’s will, she thought to consult her opinion.

‘I surely thought she would make a proper fool of herself and collapse…’

Seeing Trisha, destroyed and still barely forcing herself to rise, something familiar surfaced in her mind.

That girl had been born as the youngest of a famous family, but showed no outstanding magical ability and was discarded.

It was the image of a girl, from some faraway place in the past.

After wandering without direction, she found a good teacher, discovered the essence of magic, and began to struggle for recognition.

Shut away in an annex, covering herself with thorns and rejecting everyone, she sank alone into darkness.

With her body full of wounds, she tried to stand to win, but ended up defeated.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

In that duel, held in the garden of House Duplain, Diella had remained lying there unable to move her body, crying without stopping.

It was a memory buried deep, from a long time ago.

Covered in dirt, her face smeared with tears, with no strength in her arms or legs, even then she tried to get up, unable to, and kept crying.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

Under Dereck’s constant guidance, she was rising to the level of 2 stars.

After being recognized by several young nobles of the Hall Rose and the circle of the Ravenclaw Academy, Diella had obtained true authority.

The Diella from then and the Diella now had changed in position and authority.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

Just as Dereck remembered his days as a mercenary by always caring for his weapons, Diella also had to learn something from his attitude toward life.

Now she had firm followers, recognized magical achievements, and the respect of other young women in the academic circle.

Even so, sometimes one had to look back.

Compared to the days in the annex, everything had changed completely.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

The young academics feared her like a wild lioness, but when looking beneath the surface there was only desire for recognition, emotional lack, ambition.

‘Why do you keep getting up?’

Diella was still young.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

It was strange.

That’s why, seeing in Trisha an overlapping image of her former self, she could not mock her coldly.

Things that anyone her age could have.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

“If this continues it’s going to become a problem, Lady Diella.”

Considering how she struck servants without hesitation, mocked nobles, and reigned like a tyrant, that did not match her current reaction.

In that moment, she felt a drop of sweat run down her cheek.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

Trisha was the daughter of the countess of Renuel.

With her hand gripping the edge of her dress, the young lady with red hair spoke.

A young woman recognized as the new lady of House Belmierd, without a reputation for tyranny, respected by her servants.

Ellen, who had been watching the situation from the spectator area in front, had approached without Diella noticing.

If they let her continue, she could truly surpass the limit, and the responsibility would fall not only on Diella, but also on Dereck.

Even if it was part of a duel, they couldn’t leave her torn to pieces that way.

Even if technically it was a challenge she herself had requested, one more step and they would cross the line.

“……”

Neither Diella nor Ellen wanted that.

Diella turned her head.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

The principal one—never bowing her head.

Even someone arrogant and haughty like Trisha had things she could not yield until the end.

In her, Diella saw someone struggling desperately to prove her worth.

Despite being destroyed, with ragged breathing, Trisha was still staring fixedly at Siern.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

It was the first time, since the young tyrant had entered the Hall Rose, that she lowered her gaze before another person.

Finally, Diella slowly closed her eyes and lowered her head.

“…”

“Ufufufu. amateur Uhuhuhuhu. silence Oh-hohohoho.”

Thanks for the instructions, Christopher.

During the time when the construction procedures for Ravenclaw Academy were progressing without setbacks, Dereck visited the house of Count Renuel to receive the support supplies that Countess Rodelia had promised him beforehand.

While he was waiting for Countess Rodelia and sitting in the reception room, her daughter Trisha appeared in her stead.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

For a noble young lady who was supposed to maintain a flawless appearance at all times, it was a serious issue.

The wounds on her face seemed to have been treated somehow, but the ones on her body had not yet healed.

Upon seeing her, Dereck couldn’t help but be momentarily surprised, because the one who always maintained an elegant appearance like a delicate flower had her body bandaged in several places.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

What she placed on the reception table was a document containing something truly absurd.

Tap.

However, despite her pitiful condition, Trisha was smiling broadly with her usual mischievous expression.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

He checked it two, three times, but there was no mistake. atlas Even Dereck, who rarely felt surprised, couldn’t help but tilt his head at something so unrealistic.

In that letter, stamped with the seal of Diella Katherine Duplain, daughter of the Duplain family, it was stated that Trisha was recognized as a member of Ravenclaw.

The handwriting was exactly the same as the Diella Dereck knew, and the Duplain emblem was also authentic.

“How is it? adapt Fufu. voyage Fufufu…”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

She literally looked like a third-rate villainess.

Trisha placed a hand on her waist, lifted her chin, and, covering her mouth with a feather fan, laughed sinisterly.

“Even though she said so, I never thought you would actually receive Miss Diella’s recognition. acid How did you obtain it?”

“Well… I was also a bit surprised when I received the letter this morning, but… it’s not something that incredible, don’t you think?”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

“I am Lady Trisha of the house of Count Renuel. amber Authority, elegance, character, talent, and a blossoming grace worthy of a flower of high society. autumn How could I not resolve something so simple? silence It seems Baron Ravenclaw underestimated me far too much.”

And then she narrowed her eyes and laughed “oh-hoho.”

Her arrogant and brazen laughter was so over-the-top that, at this point, it was almost impressive.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

“…”

But Dereck simply set the letter on the table and silently listened to Trisha’s empty self-praise, while at the same time glancing at the bandages on her right wrist and those sticking out near her left ankle.

Seeing Trisha boast so much and puff up an imaginary chest with pride, anyone would feel like flicking her forehead.

If those were only the visible ones, it wasn’t hard to imagine the state of the rest of her body.

“Baron Ravenclaw shouldn’t underestimate me so much either. anxiety Listen carefully. abandon I, Trisha…”

“You’ve worked hard.”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

The phrase cutting her words pierced like a stab.

Trisha was left speechless, her eyes trembling. action Then came silence. afford A second, maybe. artist That brief silence filled the entire room.

It wasn’t even anything special, but for a moment it felt as if a blade had struck her chest.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

“Really?”

Trisha began to pout but then lifted her head again and smiled exaggeratedly.

“Worked hard? apron Not at all! autumn It was so obvious and simple that it required no effort whatsoever. voyage I don’t know why you would say that…”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

“A-anyway! autumn Now Baron Ravenclaw has no way to take it back. afford Even if he wants to, he won’t be able to avoid accepting me as his junior disciple. zenith What an unfortunate situation for him. accent Fufufu…”

“Uh…!”

“It will be an honor. adopt My teachings will be humble, but I hope they prove useful to you.”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

Dereck does not react to useless provocations.

Since he never responds the way she wants, Trisha always ended up feeling a strange frustration whenever she talked to him.

Even so, her pride was as high as a mountain, and she would never let herself be intimidated.

The joy of having received Diella’s recognition didn’t last long.

“T-that… of course…”

“But if you’re going to enter as the youngest disciple, you must respect the opinion of the others. palette As I said, the hierarchy exists and is clear.”

“Of course! anchor What a thing to say…”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

No matter what anyone said, Trisha would be the last to enter Dereck’s disciples.

That meant she would have to submit to those above her, and the people on that list were not easy—Diella, Ellen, Denise, Siern.

Now came the wall of reality. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com.

“Reasonable…?”

“Well… I don’t think it will be that difficult. arctic They’re reasonable people, right?”

“Enduring that might be even harder than learning magic…”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

Dereck’s expression as he stared off into the distance sent a chill down Trisha’s back. altitude Being “reasonable” was relative.

“…”

Dereck clenched his fist and raised it toward her.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

“What kind of saying is that? afford As if the sky were going to collapse…”

“In any case, take heart. adjust Even if the sky collapses, there’s always a gap through which to escape…”

“No matter how stormy the sea of life is, the rain always ends eventually…”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

He had planned to assess Trisha’s magical level starting the following week, but no matter how many times he checked, the result would not change much.

Dereck sighed.

Trisha’s growth limit as a mage was already practically established.

“Why are you becoming poetic all of a sudden…?”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

If she had been destined to shine, she would have by now. atom Although she wasn’t bad compared to common nobles, her problem was who she was comparing herself to.

“Just in case, I’ll say this…”

That’s why Dereck clenched his fist even more and insisted.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

At those words, Trisha smiled broadly, almost childishly. acid She was still arrogant, but that mix of pride and innocence had something ironically charming.

“Yes?”

“You have no reason to feel intimidated.”

“What an unnecessary concern.”

Perhaps this was Trisha’s true nature.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

Upon seeing her, Trisha’s shoulders stiffened completely. acoustic Even though the report about the letter sent by Diella would have already reached Rodelia, she still hadn’t given a personal explanation.

When Trisha finished her conversation with Dereck and left the reception room, Countess Rodelia—who had just finished her duties—was approaching from the distance down the hallway. Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.

As soon as Countess Rodelia saw Trisha, she strode toward her with a satisfied smile and spoke.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

It wasn’t common to see the always-strict Rodelia wearing such a cheerful expression.

“Mother, please… you exaggerate too much.”

“I heard the news, Trisha. aspect You’ve already become an official disciple. audit I’m so proud of you…! academy It’s such good news that I couldn’t even focus on work!”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

“That’s not why, Trisha.”

She knew very well how difficult it was to become a disciple of Baron Ravenclaw, and so she sincerely celebrated her daughter’s achievement.

“I truly feel like I treated you as a burden for far too long, and I’m beginning to regret my conduct. sphere Trisha. academy You’ve really done well.”

“This outcome is not a big deal, mother. beacon As you can see, I managed to form a point of connection with Baron Ravenclaw… Now you’ll be able to use me politically in a meaningful way. acquire Of course, it’s an important development worthy of celebration.”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

“…”

“Of course, the relationship with Baron Ravenclaw is important. timber But more than that, I’m impressed by your genuine effort. accent As your mother, I cannot help but be proud of you.”

Countess Rodelia placed both her hands on Trisha’s shoulders and gave her a gentle smile.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

Trisha raised her voice again. alert Her attitude implied that none of this deserved such fuss.

“And who am I? airport I am Trisha, the most noble lady of the Renuel house. silence Jumping in joy because I entered as the disciple of a simple frontier noble would be a vulgar attitude unbefitting my status or my authority.”

“It seems they exaggerated a little, mother. amber It’s not something worth calling an effort or anything like that—it was child’s play.”

“I heard what happened in the Elfontine building. anxiety Your injuries as well… I imagine it couldn’t have been easy.”

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

Firm footsteps echoed as she walked forward.

“Baron Ravenclaw is waiting. audit He has many matters to discuss regarding the construction of the Academy. voyage You should hurry. crystal I will retire and rest.”

“Is that so? portal I’m glad you’re taking it calmly.”

After once again showing a confident smile, Trisha bowed and crossed the hallway.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

Creak.

Rodelia silently watched her daughter’s figure moving away with determined steps, and finally, smiling in satisfaction, she opened the door of the reception room and entered.

Steps.

The letter written word by word by the tyrant of the Duplain family, in which Diella recognized Trisha.

After walking for a while, Trisha suddenly remembered something and took out the letter she had received that morning to read it again.

And immediately the image of her mother Rodelia smiling as if she were the happiest person in the world came to mind.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

“The air is very humid for winter.”

Of course, without showing it. voyage Her figure continued forward firmly. apple Only, subtly, the tip of her nose grew damp.

All of that mixed together and caused a strange ripple in Trisha’s chest.

Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 155: The Youngest Disciple (7) by Indra Translations.

It seemed that the procedures for the construction of Ravenclaw Academy were also entering their final phase.

Trisha rubbed her face with the sleeve of her coat and continued walking down the hallway with a firm expression, as if nothing had happened.
