“Of course. agent You said the land was in Duplain territory, right? adjust With a bit of luck, I might even be able to meet Lady Diella in person.”
“The construction of the Ravenclaw Academy is almost finished. artist Will you be going to see that as well?”
“If I could, I would like to meet all of your disciples, Dereck. anchor But if I go to see them myself, I would only put pressure on them. arcade I have enough common sense to know that, so I plan to simply take a look around society and then leave. antenna I am also curious to see how much Ebelstein society has changed.”

She was famous for being someone whom, according to rumors, only Aiselin and Dereck could control in the entire world.
Who was Diella?
Although it was unlikely that she would bare her fangs even in front of Katia, there was a vague sense of unease.
“That is true, but…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
“I am also interested in Lady Diella, but I wonder whether I will be able to meet Lady Aiselin as well. arctic You see, Dereck. auction This teacher does not only want to see your disciples; the person I most wish to meet is Lady Aiselin.”
“You always mention her in your letters. silence You say she has helped you greatly as a partner. adapt Ever since I lived in Ebelstein, Aiselin was already famous for her prestige, her impeccable conduct, and her deep thoughtfulness. armor I wonder how mature she has become now.”
“You mean Lady Aiselin?”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Katia had spent too long rolling through the aristocratic world to feel naïve admiration for an elegant young woman.
She had Freya, the most respected woman in eastern society, as her disciple; she was in no position to covet Aiselin.
“Some time ago, we talked about your partner, remember?”
And yet, she leaned forward with eyes lit with intensity and looked at Dereck seriously. All translations belong to Indra Translations. You can find us online at indratranslations.com

“…Well, perhaps there is no need to rush that far just yet. zenith First, I will have to observe her with my own eyes. echo Let us also take the opportunity to check on the state of the Ravenclaw Academy and go to Duplain territory. acid Will you be able to introduce me?”
“…”
“I will be direct. atomic If Lady Aiselin has retained the dignity she had back then, is there anyone more suitable to be a lifelong companion? attic Dereck, if you still have not made a decision, I will have no choice but to push you a little. adapt They say women are better judges of other women. attic Trust this teacher’s eye.”
“A-ah… Teacher…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Katia spoke calmly and elegantly, but from her presence emanated a pressure that was impossible to refuse.
At the end of the day, Katia would never allow her disciple to end up marrying just anyone.
She was like a flame that was cold and burning at the same time; when she insisted like that, Dereck had no choice but to nod.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Thus, Dereck had no choice but to head toward the Duplain mansion together with Katia, wishing inwardly that neither Leigh, nor Diella, nor Aiselin would be too taken aback.
It was not common to see Katia, always so serene and dignified, behaving this way, so she could only observe with a distant gaze.
Her attitude was practically that of an overly protective father or mother, though to Freya, who was watching from the side, it seemed somewhat intrusive.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
“E-excuse me… Lady Trisha of the Renuel family has come in person…”
Trisha had been severely reprimanded by Countess Rodelia and was ordered to go immediately, even if only with a gift, to repair the damaged image.
“…”

She was already on the verge of tears, but she managed to compose herself, adopted an arrogant expression, and entered through the main gate demanding an audience.
But—
That was how she arrived at Baron Ravenclaw’s residence.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Trisha splashed water on her face and hurled a complaint at the heavens.
“…W-what?”
“Baron Ravenclaw has departed for the Duke Duplain’s residence together with Lady Katia.”
“Not long ago, actually…”

Nothing.
Absolutely nothing was going right for her.
The young woman occasionally walked through the cemetery.

As she slowly strolled among the countless gravestones, she felt as if death were standing right in front of her.
She shook the accumulated water from the hem of her dress, and the moisture that remained on her hand seeped in like lingering regret.
Rain fell softly, and a damp wind brushed the tip of her nose.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Without an umbrella, she lifted her gaze toward the cloudy sky.
The mark of reincarnation engraved upon her soul showed no sign of fading.
Death, that final rest, was both near and far.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
In that distant memory, there was something she could no longer recall clearly.
An innocent time, when she did not even know what black mages were.
And then, memories of a distant past were about to surface.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
The reaper who governs death.
The most powerful black mage on the continent.
A living disaster capable of plunging the entire world into terror merely by existing.
Why had she begun researching black magic in the first place?
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
And whenever she seemed to find someone worthy of attachment, time eroded them until they disappeared.
But now she no longer had ambitions.
Nothing to protect.
She had no goals to fulfill.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Thus, in that cemetery where countless deaths stood in rows, Fina often mocked herself in that way.
How many years had she lived dragging along that gray life?
She herself was nothing more than ashes after complete combustion.
Life burned like an intense flame, but there was no eternal fire.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
And then, at last, heat ran once more through Fina’s frozen heart.
Black magic flooded the surroundings and began to completely fill the underground laboratory.
Fina’s laboratory, built beneath Tigris territory, was vast.
Fwoooosh!

Advanced resurrection of bodies.
The pinnacle of corpse-related black magic.
Even so, the density of black energy was such that it was difficult even to breathe.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Raising the dead was never something simple.
Resurrecting a six-star mage was absolute madness.
The higher the level of the mage to be resurrected, the more the difficulty of the spell multiplied exponentially.
Even a five-star black mage would be exhausted after reviving a three-star mage, unable to use magic for some time. Visit indratranslations.com for more free chapters and updates.

Decades of accumulated effort.
Even for Fina, it had required investing an absurd number of years.

An extremely valuable vessel the corpse of a five-star mage.

Upon the research table of the underground laboratory.
An impossible miracle was about to manifest.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Fina, who never tired even while manifesting an absurd amount of necromantic magic, was panting. Read original high-quality translation at indratranslations.com.
How long had it been since she last felt exhaustion from using magic?
The miserable, bloodstained scene was swept away by a tide of necromantic magic of every kind.
Fina’s pale lilac hair was also whipped about violently, and the hem of her dress began to thrash as if out of control.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
That pleasure coursing through her chest—how long had it been since she felt it?
Decades? acoustic No, perhaps centuries?
Since when had she last felt something called euphoria?
Little by little, sweat began to well up, her breathing grew ragged, yet her face was smeared with a smile.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
The legendary great mage and hero of the Empire.
Kalimford was arriving.
Death was approaching.
An immense euphoria, impossible to obtain from any liquor, completely filled Fina’s mind.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
The Kalimford who could grant Fina eternal rest.
At last, the promise could be fulfilled.
Kalimford, the hero of the War of Dawn who died after killing the great monster Noir, the one who tried to devour the north.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Fwoooosh!
The colossal necromantic magic surged with even greater violence, and Fina’s laboratory was engulfed in a gigantic radiance.
For an instant, it was as if the world itself rippled.
Boom! altitude Thud!
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Bones twisting, muscles reconstructing.
A being who had twisted the laws and surpassed even death rose up.
The body of Duke Beltus began to change shape little by little, until it finally transformed into the figure of that young great mage.
Had someone who knew nothing seen it, they would have felt nauseous.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Those grotesque sounds filled the underground laboratory.
— Crack, squelch. atlas Crack!
At the center of the laboratory, where utensils were scattered across the floor and blood soaked everything…
With time, the rampaging magic gradually calmed down.

And then the corpse’s arm moved.
— Flinch!
The corpse lying on the experimental table opened its eyes, covered in something like rags.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
However, in the eyes opened wide shone a clear vitality.
Perhaps due to the incompleteness of the resurrection spell, the skin was peeling in several places and his appearance was haggard.
A body clearly rejuvenated.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
The body, unable to adapt to the forcibly injected life, expelled a spasm.
“¡Kuh, Kuk…!”
The man, who for quite a while could not regain his composure, began to tremble in the eyes, as if he could not believe it.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.

The art of resurrection to which she had devoted countless years had successfully brought Kalimford back to the world of the living.
“Huh, eh… my skin… it feels like it’s burning…”

Upon recognizing that familiar voice, Fina finally showed a twisted smile.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Kalimford, resurrected, extended his dried-out hand, as if only bones remained, and his body trembled.
“Welcome back to the world of the living, Kalimford. This novel translation is officially hosted on indratranslations.com. alpha You have been very fortunate. apron If it were not for the power of this woman, capable of surpassing even death, you would have wandered within it forever.”
“I… yes… I… was dead… that’s…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
The last memory he had was the instant when, risking his life, he threw himself toward Noir’s heart.
He had squeezed out all of his magic with the sole determination of killing that great monster that was about to devour the north.
He could not believe it, but he had returned to life.
After that, he remembered nothing.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
He remembered leaving words of apology to his wife Feria and to his friend Melverot.
Only, in the midst of the premonition of death that loomed, just before charging at Noir.
And also to his only daughter, Siern.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Upon reaching that point, Kalimford, with his haggard body, pushed away the experimental table and rose.
He remembered asking Melverot to take good care of her, saying farewell through tears.
Siern, whose life was just beginning to sprout in Peria’s womb.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
“I see… you… saved me. palette Reina… no, Fina… it was Fina, right?”
“Reina… what a nostalgic name. wizard This woman no longer uses that name. ability As it has always been throughout countless years, my name has changed again.
Now I am Fina.”
“You are… y-yes… Reina… Reina?”
“That’s right. shadow How about bowing your head in thanks? airport Though, well, I also had my own reasons for saving you.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
“Is that… is that true…? anxiety Noir finally died…?”
Kalimford’s shoulders trembled, as if he still could not believe it, and suddenly he opened his eyes wide, remembering something, and asked urgently.
“Noir…! admire What happened to the great monster Noir? august Did my final attack work? alpha That absurdly powerful monster… what happened to it…?”
“Well, out of courtesy, I will answer you. arena That impossible monster died from your final attack. artist Peace was restored to the north, and you became the hero of the Empire.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
He still lived with the memories of the War of Dawn.
Kalimford, trembling uncontrollably, clung to the experimental table as tears fell one after another.
“I see… so… Noir died… Yes… truly… truly what a relief…”
“Yes. airport The great calamity that turned the north into a mountain of corpses ended. atlas Now, descendants call it the War of Dawn; it is remembered as part of history.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
That was why, upon learning that Noir had died and that the Empire celebrated victory,
He cried sincerely, moved to the deepest depths of his being.
He surely still remembered that scene in which Noir’s presence covered the sky.
“All the deaths of those who sacrificed themselves so that I could reach Noir… they were not in vain… Yes… damn it… truly… truly what a relief… That everyone’s sacrifice did not end meaninglessly… truly what a relief…”

“Yes, congratulations. afford Congratulations.”
“Truly what a relief… The Empire regained peace once more… I feel as if all my long years of effort have been rewarded…”
Fina simply let him cry.

A true hero of the history books, someone who gave everything for humanity and to save the Empire.
Kalimford was that kind of man.
Fina congratulated him in a voice devoid of sincerity, as if tossing the words into the air.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Several minutes had already passed as she waited for him to regain his composure in the midst of that storm of emotions.
The confusion of having been resurrected, and the relief of knowing that the Empire was safe.
That was why she let him cry for quite a while longer.
Fina knew that as well.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
“That being said… you haven’t forgotten the promise, have you, Kalimford?”
“…Promise?”
When Kalimford’s breathing began to gradually calm down, Fina once again formed a twisted smile and spoke.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
Fina advanced with firm steps toward the experimental table, and her eyes, filled with euphoria, shone intensely.
“Yes. admire Why do you think this woman would go to such lengths to resurrect you? adapt I have no interest in the biography of a hero of the Empire. accent Whether you live or die has nothing to do with me.”
Kalimford, covered in rags, trembled uncontrollably.

Even as she spoke, her breathing became ragged.
“…”
“You said you could kill me. arcade The hero of the Empire, Kalimford, the six-star combat mage who will never exist again in history.”
“That’s right. armor You said that if I helped you counter Noir’s necromantic magic, you would grant me eternal rest. absorb Only because of that promise have I endured this life full of tedium. alien Now it is time for you to keep your word. alien It is time to finally grant me the fulfillment of my long-held desire.”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
“Come on. admire Fulfill your duty, Kalimford.”
“Reina… no, Fina…”
Fina laughed in an even more exalted voice and finally declared to the hero of the Empire.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
That was the promise that the hero of the Empire, Kalimford, made to Fina with resolute eyes.
If she helped him counter Noir’s necromantic magic, he would burn away the mark of reincarnation and guide her to eternal rest.
The hero of justice who always looked straight ahead and only ever spoke the truth to everyone had assured her of it.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
And inside Fina’s mind, a sound was heard, as if something had broken.
Amid the tedium and pain of long years, she finally reached that light—
That was the only light that allowed her to endure this endless life.
“That… was a lie.” Indra Translations protects the hard work of translators and authors.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
“…”
“No… I cannot burn away the mark of reincarnation that you completed. altitude Even with my power, it is not enough. timber Truly… I am truly sorry…”
“What… did you say…?”
“Reina… no, Fina…”
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
“It was necessary… If we had left Noir as he was, he would have reduced the entire Empire to ashes…”
It was his final confession, poured out after an amount of years impossible to count with one’s hands.
Kalimford lowered his gaze heavily and spoke as if confessing a sin.
Translation of Noble Lady Reformation Guide - Chapter 162: Who are you a disciple of? (2) by Indra Translations.
As if enormous chains were wrapping around her, the shackle called life dragged her back into reality.
From the very beginning, there had been no escape.
There never was.
Fina’s body became completely rigid.
